On the other side, in the prison cells of the Martial Soul Hall…
Brock looked into Liu Erlong's eyes tenderly, propped up her upper body, and let her lean against his thigh. He asked with great concern, "Erlong, are you alright?"
Liu Erlong looked at Brock, who was so close at hand, and a smile flickered in her eyes. She responded with a hoarse voice, "I'm fine… Brock, where are we now?"
Brock bit his lip and then sighed, "We should be in the place where the Martial Soul Hall detains prisoners…"
Having once been an Elder of the Hall of Martial Souls, he was naturally very familiar with this place…
Outside, there were at least two Soul Douluo level and three Soul Sage level guards watching over the place.
With his and Liu Erlong's strength, leaving this place was basically impossible.
Lying in Brock's arms, Liu Erlong was extremely weak, but her words still brimmed with anger towards Bi Bidong, "Brock… cough cough… it was Bi Bidong, wasn't it?"
Brock silently nodded, "Mm!"
He never expected Bi Bidong to act so decisively, and what worried him the most at the moment was how those little monsters from the Shrek Academy were doing.
"I wonder how Tang San and the others are… Hiss," Liu Erlong's words were cut short as a tearing pain spread from her ribs and arm, causing her to sharply inhale in pain…
Brock said with a grave expression, "Erlong, your ribs and arm are severely injured, and you've also been poisoned."
In Brock's view, Liu Erlong's body was covered with sparse, vein-like black poison; this was precisely what had been injected into her when she had been pierced by Bi Bidong's poisonous sting!
Unexpectedly, the poison remained so long; even if it hadn't taken Liu Erlong's life, it left her without any strength...
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes shifted downward, and she saw the patterns on her arm…
"Tap… tap… tap…"
The stark sound of footsteps echoed throughout the detention area…
Brock turned his head alertly and asked, "Who's there?"
Liu Erlong's eyes also narrowed as she looked toward the dark corner…
A blurry figure approached, and finally, under the faint light of the candles, they could make out the comer.
Seeing the familiar silhouette, Brock's pupils shrank, "Bi Bidong!"
Upon seeing Bi Bidong, a surge of endless rage flickered in Liu Erlong's eyes as she lay in Brock's arms…
The person was none other than Bi Bidong, clutching the Purple-Golden Scepter, her pair of cold eyes indifferently swept over the two, "It seems you two are quite comfortable staying here."
Brock asked urgently, "Bi Bidong! What have you done with the members of Shrek??"
He knew Bi Bidong too well, the change in her was enormous; the Bi Bidong of the past was pure and lovely, even kindling admiration in him. But due to certain reasons…
But now, the Bi Bidong before him was a woman of deep cruelty and heartless cold-bloodedness!!
Bi Bidong's expression flashed with sharpness, "Shrek? My Martial Soul Hall completely annihilated it that day."
She sneered inwardly, "Brock, it turns out, you can worry too…"
Completely enraged, Brock's eyes filled with thick blood vessels as he roared, "Bi Bidong! You heartless woman!! I, Brock, was blind back then!"
Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong replied emotionlessly, "I've said that everyone on the continent may accuse me, Bi Bidong, but you, Brock, have no right!"
Brock's pupils almost split in anger, "You!!"
Liu Erlong, cradled in his arms, spoke to soothe him, "Brock, cough cough... she just wants to see you get angry, Tang San and the others will definitely be fine."
Watching the deeply affectionate couple, Bi Bidong slowly turned around and said indifferently, "You two just stay here and make yourselves comfortable. Moreover, in three days, the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect will no longer exist on this continent!"
Having said that, Bi Bidong decisively turned and slowly walked away...
Watching the retreating figure of Bi Bidong, Liu Erlong said hoarsely, "What?? Bi Bidong! What on earth... are you planning to do... pfft"
The next second, he aggravated his wound and suddenly coughed up a pool of fresh blood...
Liu Erlong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring into the pitch-dark corner ahead, "Bi Bidong, what exactly are you going to do to the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect!!"
...
Xu Sheng, along with the other seven Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls, sat in a massive room...
Seated in the main seat, Xu Sheng's gaze swept over the silent Elders surrounding him, and he took the lead, "All of you are Elders and guest elders of the Martial Soul Hall, so there is no need for restraint. Let's start by briefly sharing your opinions."
Xu Sheng knew he must have shocked those two guest elders and Elders with his strength before...
One of the guest elders coughed and slowly said, "Then I will start first. The location of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect is quite distant from the other two great sects, so there's no need to worry about the latter coming to their aid!"
"What's more important is that the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect only has Yu Yuanzhen, a level-96 Titled Douluo. With the strength of the eight of us at Hyper Douluo level and above, we should be able to easily annihilate the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect!"
Another guest elder joined in, "That's right, but this Yu Yuanzhen is also quite strong among the Hyper Douluo, so we must not underestimate him. Then there's the disciples of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect; we must completely eradicate them!"
Xu Sheng's eyes gleamed, "The two guest elders are right, the strength of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect can be considered the weakest among the upper three families, so it's not very difficult to annihilate."
"The challenge is how to kill off all the disciples who try to flee!"
Elder She Mao, feeling somewhat uneasy, glanced at Xu Sheng and the other two guest elders, and suggested, "I think it's better to strike today while the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect is still unprepared, catching them off guard and annihilating them in one fell swoop!"
Citun seconded the proposal, "I agree with Elder She Mao's suggestion! This way, we can avoid losses among the lower-ranked Soul Masters! After all, these lower-ranked Soul Masters are also crucial to the future development of the Martial Soul Hall."
Another Elder nodded in agreement and added, "I also think Elder She Mao's proposal makes sense. Soul Masters are extremely rare after all, and losing even one cannot be replenished in a short time!"
"I agree as well!!"
Xu Sheng looked admiringly at Elder She Mao, then turned to the other two guest elders to ask, "What do the two guest elders think of this proposal?"
Coincidentally, Elder She Mao had spoken what Xu Sheng had in mind—striking under the cover of night and the element of surprise would be much more efficient!
Seeing that all the Elders had cast their votes, the two guest elders looked at each other and then nodded, responding, "I agree!"
"I agree as well!"
Xu Sheng smiled slightly and stood up warmly, "Very well, then the exact time for Operation Soul Annihilation is set for dawn today! Elders, remember to clearly notify your Soul Master subordinates!"
Because of the large number of lower- and middle-ranked Soul Masters involved in this operation, several Elders needed to manage them separately!
All the Elders and guest elders rose to their feet and bowed, saying, "Yes! Your Highness, the Holy Son!"
Xu Sheng's gaze swept over the exceedingly obedient Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls...
Indeed, in the world of Soul Land, strength reigns supreme!
