Chapter 2758: Pope Hall_1

Xu Sheng naturally gave a half-hidden answer, "My purpose in coming to the Pope Hall is to seek an audience with Her Holiness the Pope alone, as there are some matters I wish to discuss with her!"

Seeing that he still wasn't telling the truth, an infuriated Yueguan clenched his fists, "Boy, are you playing word games with us? Speak now, or you'll have no chance!"

Already carrying a fire in his heart, which threatened to burst at the slightest provocation...

Ghost Charm, however, sneered suddenly, "An audience with Her Holiness the Pope? You? You're not qualified!"

The emperors of the other two great empires had to send messengers in advance if they wanted to see Her Holiness...

This kid, where did he get such audacity!

Xu Sheng did not get angry because of this meaningless provocation, but simply said, "Whether I am qualified is not for the two of you to judge, right?"

"Besides, if there weren't other factors, did not the Spirit Hall actively issue a warrant for me because they valued my talent?"

"It goes without saying, an Innate Soul Power Level Ninety, something that has never before appeared on the entire continent!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of Ghost Charm and Yue Guan darkened suddenly...

Although they really wanted to refute the guy's self-aggrandizement, the fact was as he said, Innate Soul Power Level Ninety was something ordinary people wouldn't dare even to dream of!

Noticing the change in their expressions, Xu Sheng spoke again, "Well? Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, have you decided to attack me here, or report to Her Holiness?"

Yue Guan glanced sideways at Ghost Charm and quietly asked, "Lao Gui, what do you think? Should we believe this kid's word?"

After pondering for a few seconds, Ghost Charm suggested, "Let's report to Her Holiness first. As for whether she'll see him or not, that's another matter!"

"But now that he has come to Martial Soul City, I reckon he doesn't have the guts for any tricks!"

At that time, it was due to the complex terrain of the Aquipeia Forest, coupled with the sudden appearance of the Titan Ape, that he managed to escape by sheer luck!

But Martial Soul City is heavily guarded, with Spirit Hall Soldiers stationed everywhere; how difficult it would be for one person to leave by his own strength!

With that said, Yue Guan and the rest came to a unanimous opinion...

Without any politeness they said, "Kid, come with us. But whether Her Holiness will see you or not, that's a different story!"

Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Thank you!"

Fortunately, he avoided a battle with these two; as he was, he was far from being a match for them together!

Even though he thanked them, Yue Guan and Ghost Charm still did not give him any pleasant looks...

Instead, they were vigilant of his every move, ready to ensure his death should he renege on the way!

...

Inside the Pope Hall...

Bi Bidong, who was resting with her eyes closed, slowly opened her purple eyes upon sensing a fluctuation of soul power...

She gazed intently at Yue Guan half-bowed before her, a trace of puzzlement in her voice, "Yue Guan?"

Wasn't he supposed to have gone to carry out her order with Ghost Charm? Why was he here?

Yue Guan saluted with his fist, speaking with utmost respect, "Your Holiness, due to unforeseen circumstances, I have a matter to report to you."

Bi Bidong took hold of the Purple Crystal Scepter in her hand, "Speak, what's the matter?"

The matter that could make Yue Guan turn back must be no small affair...

After receiving permission, Yue Guan stated, "Just now, as Lao Gui and I were about to leave the Pope Hall, we happened to catch that kid named Xu Sheng; we have him under control now!"

Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes showed a hint of deep thought, "Xu Sheng? That name..."

Yue Guan promptly continued, "Your Holiness, this Xu Sheng is the one you ordered to be apprehended, the one with Innate Soul Power Level Ninety!"

Upon hearing this, the look in Bi Bidong's eyes grew sharper, "This kid is interesting, actually daring to come here seeking his death!"

```

For this individual who had defied the authority of the Martial Soul Hall, she had no good feelings at all!

Of course, the fact that he was unwilling to join the Martial Soul Hall was an important factor!

Yueguan swallowed hard and said again, "Your Holiness, we have already interrogated him to find out his purpose for coming to the Pope Hall..."

"But, he said he was here to see you!"

For a moment, even Bi Bidong with her normally calm demeanor couldn't help but feel astonished, "To see me??"

Yueguan said with certainty, "Yes, it seems he has a very important matter to discuss with you!"

"Your Holiness, do you want to see this boy? If not, Lao Gui and I will execute him right now!!"

Bi Bidong didn't speak, seemingly weighing something...

After a few seconds, she finally issued an order, "Let that Xu Sheng come in. I want to see what he has to discuss with me!"

Yueguan was visibly disappointed, but still nodded and said, "As you wish, Your Holiness!"

Then, he turned and left, and before long, Xu Sheng was escorted into the Pope Hall by Ghost Charm and Yueguan...

They stood on either side of the hall to prevent his escape...

And Xu Sheng's gaze was also fixed on Bi Bidong's exquisite face...

He immediately said, "Xu Sheng pays his respects to Your Holiness!"

Bi Bidong raised an eyebrow and said in a flat tone, "I am surprised that someone who has been wanted by the Martial Soul Hall still knows how to be so polite!"

"However, I am quite curious about one thing: aren't you afraid to come here all by yourself?"

In Martial Soul City, her command was everything, and no one could intervene!

Xu Sheng replied with equal dignity, "No, I believe Your Holiness is not that kind of person!"

This action naturally piqued Bi Bidong's interest...

Facing the oppressive aura she exuded at all times, this child could easily resolve it...

And he could even converse as if nothing was amiss, which was probably something not even the Spirit Hall Golden Generation could compare with!

"Interesting, then I shall give you the chance to discuss matters with me privately!"

Then, looking towards Yueguan and the other, she said, "Yueguan, Ghost Charm, you two can step back."

Upon hearing this, Yueguan frowned and said, "Your Holiness, this kid is full of tricks, he might be harboring some ill intentions!"

Ghost Charm agreed, "Indeed, it was because of our carelessness before that we were attacked by the Titan Ape!"

Bi Bidong was visibly displeased, "What, are you suggesting that this child could pose a threat to me?"

Yueguan bit his lip, "But..."

Ghost Charm stopped him with a look and said with a cupped fist, "Then, we will step back, Your Holiness!"

After taking a deep look at Xu Sheng, he and Yueguan left the Pope Hall...

Bi Bidong then questioned, "So, Xu Sheng, what do you want to discuss with me?"

Xu Sheng didn't beat around the bush and answered directly, "Your Holiness, I need the help of the Martial Soul Hall!"

The former paused for a moment, then said very indifferently, "Am I to understand that you have changed your mind and actually wish to join the Martial Soul Hall?"

Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Yes, Your Holiness!"

Bi Bidong's tone suddenly changed, speaking coldly, "Then, on what grounds do you believe I would agree to let you join the Martial Soul Hall?"
