In an instant, Bi Bidong's tone shifted, imbued with a unique queenly aura as she coldly said, "Of course, if these weak Sect Masters insist on obstructing the Martial Soul Hall, then they will be eradicated as well!"
Anyone who hindered her from unifying the Continent, no matter who they were, must be wiped out!
At this moment, Xu Sheng suddenly felt a headache coming on. If he were tasked with taking action against the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect and the Hao Tian Clan, Xu Sheng wouldn't show any mercy...
At most, he would spare Tang Xiao, Tang Chen's grandson, which is to say, the Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan, out of consideration for Tang Chen.
But if it were the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, having to act against them would be much more troublesome...
However, after giving it some thought, he might persuade Ning Fengzhi to lead the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect to submit to the Martial Soul Hall, considering the former was a person fond of scheming and aware of the situation.
Xu Sheng calmly said, "I understand, Teacher. I will participate in this eradication mission, but how many Titled Douluos will be joining this mission?"
Even if the Elder Hall is not cooperative this time, they will surely send several Elders or guest elders to join...
Otherwise, with just the few Elders from the Pope Hall, it would still be very difficult to overthrow the upper three families!
Bi Bidong's mouth curled slightly as she said, "Aside from Yueguan and Gui Mei, there will also be five Elders from the Martial Soul Hall and two guest elders participating in this eradication mission!"
Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Seven Titled Douluos? The Elder Hall is actually so generous. It seems they also understand that if the Hall of Martial Souls fails, it will suffer a severe blow..."
Seeing Xu Sheng silent, Bi Bidong once again said indifferently, "Xu Sheng, this eradication mission will be led by you commanding the other seven Titled Douluos! The primary target is the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect!"
Xu Sheng's strength should be the strongest among these Titled Douluos, so having him lead them was indeed the wisest choice.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng quietly nodded, then asked with a trace of confusion, "I understand, Teacher, but when do you plan to start this eradication mission?"
Who would have expected Bi Bidong, seated on the Pope's Chair, to not answer immediately upon hearing this...
Instead, she slowly stood up, holding the Purple-Golden Scepter, and with a graceful step walked over to Xu Sheng. Her pair of exquisitely beautiful eyes fixed on Xu Sheng's pupils, she smiled and said, "This... will be for you to decide!"
Bi Bidong had evidently entrusted all the authority for this eradication mission to Xu Sheng...
Following the conversation between the teacher and the disciple previously, Bi Bidong decided to trust Xu Sheng once again...
And she believed he would not disappoint her!
...
Afterward, the Pope Hall gradually welcomed seven Titled Douluos exuding terrifying auras.
Even the seven of them, as formidable as they were, had to bow respectfully and say, "Your Holiness the Pope!" when they saw Bi Bidong exuding boundless authority from the Pope's Chair.
After glancing over the crowd, Bi Bidong said indifferently, "Rise."
Only after receiving Bi Bidong's permission did the seven Titled Douluos slowly rise to their feet...
Although they all only took orders from the Grand Elder of the Elder Hall, Qian Dao Liu.
Nevertheless, when they actually met Pope Bi Bidong, they behaved just like the other Elders from the Martial Soul Hall!
Without showing any friendliness, Bi Bidong coldly stated, "The seven of you should be aware of why you came here! It is to eliminate any obstacle that stands in the way of the Martial Soul Hall's growth"
"Therefore, this eradication mission will be commanded by my disciple and the Martial Soul Hall's Saint Heir: Xu Sheng. Do any of you have objections?"
Only then did the seven Titled Douluos, including the two guest elders, notice an additional figure standing to the side...
When Snake Spear and Citun realized that the figure was Xu Sheng, shock flickered in their eyes. "Xu Sheng??"
After leaving Tiandou City, the two of them received the notification about the eradication mission and rapidly contacted the other Elders to rush to the Pope Hall.
They had not imagined that this person would be the commander of the eradication mission!
```
Xu Sheng naturally also saw the pair with the Snake Spear and smiled lightly at them...
One of the guest elders looked at Xu Sheng with disdain and frowned, "Your Holiness, this doesn't seem right, to actually have the Saint Heir organize this soul extermination operation!"
Seeing this, another guest elder said coldly, "Are you insulting us by having the still-young Saint Heir lead us, Your Holiness?"
Afterward, an Elder of the Hall of Martial Souls by their side echoed, "Indeed, even if you are Your Holiness, this is no child's play."
Apart from these three, the other four Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls, who had seen Xu Sheng at the Elder Hall, were sulking and remained silent...
They knew how fearsome the latter was!
With his might, he repelled Elder Jin E and battled the Great Offeror Qian Dao Liu...
Aside from Your Holiness, who else within the entire Hall of Martial Souls could achieve such feats?
Seeing the silence of the four beside them, the two guest elders and that Elder felt a bad premonition rising in their hearts...
Pope Bibi Dong, seated on the Pope's Chair, suddenly let out a cold laugh, her tone laced with disdain, "Oh? Insulting you? Or do you think yourselves stronger than my disciple Xu Sheng?"
One of the guest elders spat out a merciless retort, "Your Holiness! The strength of us seven Elders and guest elders certainly doesn't match yours, but, being so young, we cannot possibly take orders from the Saint Heir!"
Another guest elder then firmly stated, "If that's the case, we will not participate in this soul extermination operation!"
Xu Sheng, who had all along been watching with detached amusement, crossed his arms and slowly said, "Elders and guest elders, I wonder what it would take for you to obey my command?"
One of the Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls laughed coldly upon hearing this, "Very simple, if the Saint Heir can beat one of us seven, then we will acknowledge him to organize this soul extermination operation!"
In his heart, however, he sneered to himself, "This kid is simply asking for trouble!"
Each of the seven held considerable strength, and this young man's soul power rank probably hadn't even reached that of a Soul Sage; yet he still spouted such arrogance!
Was he asking for humiliation?
When this Elder finished speaking, the two guest elders next to him remained silent, which was taken as their agreement!
Snake Spear, Citun, and two Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Even if they now explained that Xu Sheng's strength was greater than Jin E's, who would believe such unfounded claims?
Hearing such an answer, Xu Sheng nodded and asked again, "Is that all? Anything else?"
To the three guest elders and the Elder, Xu Sheng's calm words seemed to completely belittle them!
In an instant, all kinds of angry emotions surged in the hearts of the three...
"Arrogant!"
"How could Your Holiness tolerate such a presumptuous person to hold the position of Saint Heir!"
"With such a person becoming Saint Heir, it seems Your Holiness has become muddle-headed this time! Humph!"
Xu Sheng took a step forward, his harmless smile returning, as the Netherworld Ghostvine slowly emerged in his hand...
"If that's all you ask, then why don't all seven of you come at me at once! Let's settle this in one go, to save me the trouble."
...
"What???"
