After leaving, Yueguan arrived in the grand hall of Pope Hall...
"Your Holiness!"
Sensing the former's arrival, Bi Bidong knew that the other was here to report, and immediately opened her eyes...
"Yueguan, tell me, what is the situation in Martial Soul City now?"
In the past few days, the number of people sneaking into Pope Hall had indeed decreased, and it was clear that after the blockade of Martial Soul City, most of the upper three families' disciples were isolated from it!
Hearing the former's question, Yueguan honestly replied, "Your Holiness, as per your orders, I have completely sealed off Martial Soul City, and deployed no fewer than ten people at every location to keep watch, making it nearly impossible for the three sects' people to sneak in!"
"Furthermore, anyone attempting to enter Martial Soul City in any way is treated as a disciple from the upper three families!"
Bi Bidong nodded slightly, "Well done!"
Yueguan took a deep breath, "Thank you for your praise, Your Holiness, but… there is actually one more matter that requires your decision!"
Bi Bidong raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"
The former continued, "Just before this, I captured a disciple from the upper three families trying to sneak into Martial Soul City, right outside the grand hall!"
Bi Bidong's gaze turned cold, "Yueguan, haven't you considered that they might have exposed themselves on purpose?"
Being captured so easily, they probably had another motive!
It might even be an opportunity for an assassination!
Yueguan's expression did not change as he continued, "Rest assured, Your Holiness, before this, I had already ordered their limbs to be cut off. Even if they can use Soul Power, they pose no threat!"
Bi Bidong was somewhat surprised, "Cutting off limbs, you do act ruthlessly!"
Unexpectedly, his idea of capturing them alive was like this!
Yueguan, however, did not feel anything was amiss, "Your Holiness, I believe that when dealing with enemies of the Martial Soul Hall, there is no need for mercy!"
"Besides, since the upper three families thought about sending someone to assassinate Xu Sheng, they should be clear about the consequences of offending us!"
Bi Bidong pursed her lips, "Indeed, assigning this task to you was the right decision!"
She then did not continue to dwell on this matter, "Then, bring up those captured sect disciples."
Upon hearing this, Yueguan simply clapped his hands...
Soon, some Spirit Hall Soldiers led in the upper three families' disciples with their limbs cut off...
After throwing them to the ground, they placed their right hands over their chests, "Your Holiness!"
After speaking, they silently moved to the side, awaiting further orders…
Seeing this, Bi Bidong also turned her gaze towards these upper three families' disciples…
With a tone tinged with pity, she said, "It truly is pitiful, you can't even stand up!"
Who knew this statement would directly ignite their indignation…
"Martial Soul Hall… you are truly despicable to commit such cruel acts!"
"If you want to kill, just kill. By doing these things, Martial Soul Hall is bound to suffer retribution!"
"Even if you cut off our limbs, we will never reveal any information!"
"Pope… no, Bi Bidong, you really are a despicable and shameless coward!"
Yueguan's eyes turned cold, and he immediately walked behind the speaker, fiercely reaching out to strike their head, killing them in one blow!
"Your Holiness, please continue!"
After doing this, he also stepped aside…
Bi Bidong rested her chin on her hand, feigning ignorance, "If I'm not mistaken, all of you are disciples of the upper three families, right?"
Hearing this, the disciples all chose to close their mouths, unwilling to reveal any information…
After all, in their current state, they were facing death either way; there was nothing to fear!
Bi Bidong was indifferent and said on her own, "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your default agreement."
"However, I need to emphasize one thing—it wasn't me who ordered people to sever your limbs!"
The leader of the disciples spat out a mouthful of saliva and mocked, "Bi Bidong, your pretentious demeanor is really hypocritical!"
"Do you think we would believe you?"
Without her order, the people from the Spirit Hall wouldn't dare to do such a thing!
Bi Bidong chuckled lightly and said, "Here's the deal, I'll give you a chance to live."
"Whoever is willing to reveal your purpose here, I will let someone reattach your limbs and ensure that you can leave Martial Soul City alive, how about that?"
"Pah, Bi Bidong, stop the nonsense, we won't trust you!"
"That's right, for a malicious woman like you, once we reveal our purpose for coming here, I'm afraid the next second, our heads would fall, wouldn't they?"
"Even if you kill us today, you can't save Xu Sheng, he's doomed to die!"
"Hahaha, do you really think we're afraid of dying? Since we decided to come here, we have already prepared ourselves for this resolution!"
Bi Bidong had not expected that they would completely disregard the conditions she offered....
"Unexpectedly, your attitude is so resolute, but I, Bi Bidong, am a woman of my word and never go back on my promises!"
"As long as you are willing to reveal your purpose, you can live, and you can even join the Spirit Hall and serve me!"
Yueguan frowned and interjected, "Your Holiness, you really don't need to go this far, just kill them all since they're unwilling to speak!"
"After all, the hidden mastermind is definitely one of the upper three families!"
These people from the upper three families, even if they join the Spirit Hall, would not stay loyal!
Bi Bidong, having been interrupted, obviously was somewhat displeased, "Yueguan!"
Yueguan was taken aback and realized something, "Sorry, Your Holiness, I overstepped!"
Bi Bidong then reined in her gaze and proposed, "Let's do this, to make you believe me, let's choose one among you to receive treatment. Who wants to be the lucky one?"
With these words, the attitude of these disciples was faintly shaken....
They might not fear death and were prepared to die!
But as human beings, who doesn't want to keep living?
Not to mention the previous offer to serve the Spirit Hall!
The leader of the disciples shook his head and rebuffed, "Bi Bidong, stop trying to deceive us, no one is willing to trust your words!"
Bi Bidong's eyes flickered slightly and she noncommittally said, "Is that so? Yet I feel that many among you indeed want to live on!"
"Enough, I'll just randomly pick someone then, you!"
With that, she pointed out to one of the men....
The man was stunned at first, but then his face became joyful....
He eagerly said, "Your Holiness, if you have not lied, I am willing to tell you all about the plans of the upper three families!"
And seeing his demeanor, the rest of the disciples were filled with immense anger....
"You, you dare to betray our sect, have you forgotten your own identity?"
Even though they said this, their hearts were already tremendously shaken....
If Bi Bidong truly was willing to give them a way out, revealing the sect's secrets didn't seem entirely unacceptable!
