Chapter 3237

```

With an extremely nervous heart, Yueguan arrived at a very gloomy underground palace…

Just by lightly sniffing, one could smell a putrid scent that arose from something biological…

Of course, if one looked up, they would discover an even more horrifying fact!

Countless bodies were hanging in the air above, their ferocious expressions seemed to tell of the immense torture they had endured before death…

Inwardly, Yueguan couldn't help but think to himself, "Every time I come here, my heart races, but this is also an unknown side of His Holiness the Pope."

This place was known only to himself and Gui Mei, trusted confidants; even the Holy Daughter and the others had no idea such a place existed!!

In an instant, a completely unemotional voice echoed throughout the vast palace…

"Yueguan, is that you??"

Yueguan immediately recognized the voice and responded, "Yes, Your Holiness, I have something to report to you. May I come in??"

Even he, without permission, could only obediently stand his ground!!

Tens of seconds later, the voice rang out again…

"Come in."

Having been granted permission, Yueguan didn't say another word and stepped inside…

The first thing that caught his eye was Bi Bidong, covered in crimson blood…

From a distance, there was even a kind of grotesque beauty…

Bi Bidong suddenly raised her eyes, fixing her gaze on Yueguan, she asked coldly, "Yueguan, why are you staring at me like that? Is there a problem?"

Snapping back to reality, Yueguan hurriedly bowed his head and explained, "No problem at all, Your Holiness!!"

Damn it, he had actually become distracted!!

Bi Bidong arched an eyebrow, disguising her agitation as she asked, "Well, what is it that you want to report?"

She trusted him greatly and would not suspect he had any improper thoughts toward her!

Glancing hesitantly around, Yueguan suggested, "Your Holiness, shall we talk here? Why not return to the main hall first?"

If possible, he preferred not to stay here any longer!

A hint of displeasure crossed Bi Bidong's face as she said, "Yueguan, do you not realize what it means for me to be here??"

She would normally not come here unless it was for cultivation!!

Of course, it's not through ordinary means!!

Without a second thought, Yueguan immediately apologized, "Sorry, Your Holiness, I spoke out of line!!"

Bi Bidong waved her hand dismissively, uninterested in such trivial talk, and urged, "Enough with the nonsense. Just report your business quickly; I need to improve my Soul Power as soon as possible!!"

Yueguan nodded and complied, "Yes, Your Holiness, as per your instructions, I went to Xue Ye's location under cover of night."

"Indeed, I discovered the traces of Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong there. They must be plotting something!!!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong couldn't help but smirk coldly, "Heh, it seems the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect truly wants to become closer to the royal household, not letting even this opportunity pass!!"

She had originally thought that if the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect could be well-behaved and not meddle this time, then perhaps they could be dealt with without resorting to extreme methods!

Now, it appears she had been too naive!!

Seeing this, Yueguan continued to inquire, "Your Holiness, what shall we do if the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect truly forms an alliance with the royal household?"

"Although the royal household doesn't have any strong Soul Masters, Chen Xin and Gu Rong are indeed troublesome!"

It could even be said that the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect posed a greater threat than the royal household and should be the primary target for action!

Bi Bidong replied impatiently, "What to do?? Currently, I can't control the entire Martial Soul Hall, so it's impossible for me to take action against the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and the Tian Dou Imperial Family!"

```

"However... causing them a little trouble is still possible!"

If it weren't for Qian Dao Liu and those old things from the guest elders, he would have long made Martial Soul Hall his own!

Yueguan seemed to understand something, propped up his chin and thoughtfully said, "Do you mean to obstruct them on their return to the imperial palace?"

"But won't that be too brazen? That Xue Ye is no fool, he should be able to tell it was our doing very quickly!"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it will..."

Bi Bidong showed no fear whatsoever, "Afraid of what? Now that the Tiandou Empire is rife with Spirit Hall Sub-Halls, the royal household would have to weigh their options carefully if they wanted to start a war!"

In front of Soul Masters, ordinary soldiers are simply no match, with no chance of victory whatsoever!

And this was the source of her confidence!

Yueguan took a deep breath, "Pope Your Holiness, I understand. After the Friendship Competition is over, I will arrange for some Deadpools to go and assassinate them, even if we can't pose a threat, it will let people know the consequences of offending Martial Soul Hall."

In Martial Soul Hall, there were many Deadpools trained for exactly this kind of situation!

Bi Bidong nodded slightly, rarely not denying the suggestion, "Hmm, handle the specifics yourself!"

"Alright, I need to continue my cultivation now, don't disturb me unless it's something important!"

Yet Yueguan unexpectedly stopped her, "Wait, Pope Your Holiness, I have something else to report to you!"

Bi Bidong clearly was getting impatient, "What is it?"

Yueguan responded directly, "Should we send someone to look for Lao Gui and the others? I'm afraid that Xu Sheng might do something!"

Bi Bidong also saw what he was getting at and expressed surprise, "You're afraid that Xu Sheng has escaped Gui Mei's surveillance?"

"Hmm... that is indeed possible, but I believe that since Xu Sheng is so closely related to the existence of the abyssal creature, he will not easily break his promise!"

If he offended Martial Soul Hall, then Xu Sheng would completely lose any channel to obtain information on abyssal creatures!

With any sense at all, he would know how to choose!

Yueguan bit his teeth, "But, Pope Your Holiness, that Xu Sheng already played us for fools last time, who knows..."

He didn't believe for a second that Xu Sheng would obediently remain under Gui Mei's surveillance!

For this reason, he must make the Pope aware of the situation!

Bi Bidong sighed, "Alright, I know you and Gui Mei have some friction with Xu Sheng, but when it comes to the grand scheme of things, you need to know what to prioritize."

Her own plans included Xu Sheng as an essential piece!

She would not allow anyone to interfere, including Yueguan and Gui Mei!

"Yes, Pope Your Holiness, since you say so, I'll trust Xu Sheng once more!"

Pity that he can't earn the absolute trust of Pope Your Holiness!

But it's alright, since Pope Your Holiness isn't concerned about these issues, there's no need to dwell on them!

I'm just a subordinate, my duty is to simply follow orders!
