Chapter 2873: Showdown_1

On the other side, Xu Sheng had already arrived inside the Pope Hall...

Looking at Bi Bidong seated on the Pope's Chair, and Yueguan on the left and right sides, he spoke softly, "Your Holiness!"

To his presence, Bi Bidong merely responded with a soft "Mhm"...

Then, with an indifferent tone, she said, "After Spirit Hall's extensive search, we have news regarding the abyssal creatures!"

Xu Sheng didn't reply but instead listened quietly...

Subsequently, Bi Bidong's Beautiful Eyes glanced at Yueguan beside her, "Yueguan, since you were in charge of investigating this matter, you can be the one to report!"

Yueguan nodded slightly, respectfully saying, "Yes, Your Holiness!"

After taking a deep breath, he spoke with a serious expression, "According to the investigation, these abyssal creatures are gradually spreading towards the border cities of the Tiandou Empire, and during this time, there have been several attacks on Civilian Soul Masters!"

"However, after the actions of the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall..."

Having heard everything the other party said, Xu Sheng's expression remained unchanged, for all of this was within his expectations!

The current Abyssal Emperor, even with the possession of that super divine weapon, definitely didn't have the capability to nurture too many Abyssal Emperors!

Because of this, he would only choose to cultivate some of the more outstanding abyssal creatures!

As for why he would send them to various places in the Tiandou Empire, the reason was simple, it was to accelerate their growth!

Bi Bidong's Beautiful Eyes tensed, before she asked, "Xu Sheng, what is your opinion on this?"

Xu Sheng replied truthfully, "Your Holiness, although these abyssal creatures have become much more restrained under the actions of the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall, they will surely re-emerge before long, to voraciously consume Soul Masters!"

Consuming Soul Masters was the fastest shortcut to increasing strength, which the abyssal creatures would not pass up!

Bi Bidong frowned, "Xu Sheng, are you saying that abyssal creatures can enhance their strength by consuming Soul Masters?"

She had always thought that abyssal creatures consumed humans as food!

Now, it seemed that this was not the case at all!

Xu Sheng nodded affirmatively, "Exactly, since Soul Masters have abundant Soul Power within them, when abyssal creatures consume them, they can completely convert that Soul Power into their own strength!"

"In other words, we must eradicate these abyssal creatures as soon as possible, otherwise, it will surely lead to a great disaster!"

Yueguan and Gui Mei exchanged glances, obviously detecting the shock in each other's eyes...

These abyssal creatures were even more troublesome than they had imagined!

Not only did they possess intelligence, but they could also enhance their strength by consuming Soul Masters!

Bi Bidong also took a deep breath, her expression grim as she said, "This matter is of great importance; we must immediately convey it to the people of the Sub-Hall!"

Not long ago, she had just issued the order to the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall to search for those abyssal creatures!

If the Soul Masters dispatched were weak, wouldn't that merely provide the abyssal creatures opportunities to grow?

"Gui Mei!"

Upon hearing her name, Gui Mei stepped forward, respectfully saying, "Your Holiness."

"You must immediately convey the information to the people of the Sub-Hall, instructing them to dispatch stronger Soul Masters to track the abyssal creatures!"

"Yes!"

Following that, as black mist rose from the ground, Gui Mei was completely enveloped, and then vanished into thin air...

Afterward, Bi Bidong looked at Yueguan again, saying once more, "Yueguan, step outside first, I have some matters I would like to discuss privately with Xu Sheng!"

Yueguan was stunned, "This..."

He was somewhat puzzled why she would ask him to leave!

Bi Bidong revealed a trace of dissatisfaction, "What? Do you have an objection?"

Coming back to his senses, Yueguan hastily shook his head, "Of course not, if you will excuse me, Your Holiness, I shall take my leave!"

After looking deeply at Xu Sheng, Yueguan, despite his utmost reluctance, had no choice but to leave the Pope Hall...

When the entire space was left with only Xu Sheng and Bi Bidong…

At this moment, Bi Bidong's expression underwent a subtle change…

Staring intently at Xu Sheng, she said, "Xu Sheng, if I'm not wrong, you're probably not a person from this era, are you?"

"Or perhaps, you have come from the future!!"

Originally, she was unwilling to consider this possibility, but Xu Sheng had spoken too many incomprehensible words!!

Coupled with the fact that his appearance did not match his inner thoughts…

It was beyond her control to utter this statement!!

Confronted about his origins, Xu Sheng replied calmly, "You truly live up to your title as the Pope, I am indeed not from this era!"

Hearing this, even Bi Bidong tensed up…

She narrowed her eyes and said, "So, you admit that you come from the future?"

Xu Sheng chuckled, "Indeed, although I never intended to hide it, I didn't expect Your Holiness to discover it so quickly!"

Bi Bidong's tone became sharp, "Then, what is your purpose?"

She didn't believe that someone would travel to this era without any purpose!!

Xu Sheng glanced around and answered, "I have no purpose, but if there has to be one, it would be to eliminate the Abyssal Emperor who has fled to this era!"

"His existence will bring destruction to this era!"

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that at this time in Soul Land, no one could contend with an Abyssal Emperor wielding a super divine weapon!!

Upon hearing these words, Bi Bidong was momentarily unable to discern the truth from the lies and fell into contemplation…

Seeing her thoughts, Xu Sheng spoke again, "Your Holiness actually need not struggle, after all, you are my teacher!"

Bi Bidong snapped back to reality and said coldly, "Teacher? I'm afraid you're willing to be my disciple only to make use of Spirit Hall, right?"

She certainly didn't believe Xu Sheng took this false identity seriously!!

Xu Sheng smiled wryly and explained, "Actually, even before I traveled to this era, you were already my teacher!"

Despite the sincerity in his words, Bi Bidong still held not a trace of trust…

She snapped, "Enough, save such tricks for others!"

"I don't care what your aims are, nor what you plan to do, just don't interfere with my plans!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!!"

Knowing he couldn't persuade her with words, Xu Sheng let it go…

He nodded and said, "Of course, after all, your plans, Your Holiness, have no conflict with my purpose!!"

"Only regarding the abyssal creature matter…"

Bi Bidong gave him a glance, "I'll have the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall continue to search for abyssal creatures, and once they're discovered, we will eradicate them with full force!!"

The best outcome would be to kill the Abyssal Emperor and seize the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss from his hands!

That way, even if the Xu Sheng before her harbored ulterior motives, he would be completely incapable of threatening her in any way!

The only concern was those old fellows in the Worship Hall!

They, too, might already know that he comes from the future!!
