Chapter 301: The Plan to Capture an Abyssal Creature_1

Pope Hall!

Yueguan entered the hall with a solemn expression, bowed his body, and said, "Your Holiness, I have an urgent report!!"

Bi Bidong raised an eyebrow, "Yueguan, what has happened??"

Upon hearing this, Yueguan explained, "Just yesterday, many Sub-halls reported that soul beasts suddenly left the soul beast forest and attacked the surrounding human villages, causing numerous casualties."

"Not only that, the entire scene was extremely brutal!!"

Hearing this, Bi Bidong also became serious…

"That is to say, these were not the acts of soul beasts, but those abyssal creatures have, after remaining quiet for a while, started to move again??"

When the abyssal creatures first caused a sensation, it was the exact same situation as now!!

Of course, Yueguan shared this thought, "Yes, Your Holiness, based on my conjecture, there is a high probability that the abyssal creatures are responsible!"

Upon receiving an answer, Bi Bidong asked another question, "Didn't any of these commoners get a clear look at them??"

Yueguan was taken aback for a moment and subconsciously replied, "Your Holiness, regarding this issue, I am not very clear either, but it is said that the commoners who saw the abyssal creatures' appearance are all dead, and their bodies were only discovered after being slaughtered!!"

Bi Bidong took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing her emotions, "What about Gui Mei? Where is he at this moment?"

Yueguan did not hide the information, "Lao Gui is currently following up on this matter; I'm afraid he won't be able to return to Martial Soul City in a short time!"

After a pause, he spoke again, "Your Holiness, these actions of the abyssal creatures are clearly provocative towards Martial Soul Hall. Shouldn't we do something??"

Bi Bidong had detected the implications in his words, her purple Beautiful Eyes narrowed slightly, "Yueguan, what do you mean by this??"

Yueguan's eyes flashed with an intense chill, "According to Xu Sheng, these abyssal creatures attack humans to devour their essence blood and enhance their own strength, and the essence blood of Soul Masters is undoubtedly more tempting than that of commoners."

"Perhaps we can deploy some Soul Masters as bait to lure the abyssal creatures into action, and then capture them all at once!!"

Bi Bidong suddenly sneered, "Yueguan, your mind is still working quite fast at such times!"

Never before had he been so proactive in offering suggestions when facing any matter!

Yueguan's throat choked up, and he hurriedly bowed again, "I apologize, Your Holiness, I meant no offense; I just think we shouldn't let the abyssal creatures be so arrogant!!"

Damn, in what tone was I speaking to Your Holiness!!

But Bi Bidong was not angry. Instead, she said in an unusually calm voice, "Yueguan, why are you so scared? Have I said I disagree with your idea??"

Yueguan was stunned, then lifted his head, looking puzzled, "Your Holiness?"

Seeing his reaction, she spoke again, "Even Gui Mei is unable to track these abyssal creatures; they must have evolved intelligence that's not inferior to humans!"

"What you just mentioned might be the only way to catch the abyssal creatures!"

"It's just that we need to discuss in greater detail how exactly we should proceed!!"

Yueguan pondered thoughtfully, "I understand, Your Holiness!"

Only then did Bi Bidong close her eyes, giving the order, "Since you understand, go and call Xu Sheng over. With him involved, the likelihood of capturing the abyssal creatures will be greater!"

After all, although she had seen the bodies of abyssal creatures…

But a body is just a body, and it can't provide much useful information…

…

Meanwhile!

Hulena covered her forehead, feeling a headache coming on, "Why has Xu Sheng disappeared again, just like last time, suddenly vanishing without a trace!"

Flame shrugged his shoulders, echoing, "Yeah, he was just talking to us one second, and the next second, it's like he evaporated from the face of the earth!"

Evil Moon could only muster a wry smile, "One can only say that Xu Sheng is just lucky, with an Innate Soul Power Level Ninety!"

"As a Titled Douluo," he continued, "even going deep into the Aquipeia Forest alone would hardly pose any danger."

After all, they should have gotten used to Xu Sheng's sudden disappearances!

Just then, Yueguan, with his hands clasped behind his back, suddenly appeared before them...

He started speaking with a hint of surprise, "Hmm? Are only the three of you here?"

Lena and the others came back to their senses and quickly replied with a respectful tone, "Elder Ju!!"

Yueguan just gave a slight nod before inquiring again, "Where is that guy Xu Sheng? I can't sense his Soul Power Aura... "

Hearing this, Evil Moon answered truthfully, "Replying to Elder Ju, Xu Sheng was here talking with us not long ago, but he just vanished suddenly, and nobody knows where he went!"

Yueguan's frown deepened, "Vanished all of a sudden? That kid couldn't have gone to the soul fighting arena again, could he? His Holiness the Pope has expressly forbidden him from going there again!"

Moreover, why would he leave at a time when he was needed the most?

He really is a restless fellow!!

Seeing this, Lena couldn't help but defend Xu Sheng, "Chrysanthemum Douluo, I don't think that's likely. Xu Sheng must be well aware that continuing to fight in the soul fighting arena is meaningless for him!"

After all, even Soul Emperors and individuals at the Soul Sage Level are seldom seen there!

As for Titled Douluo, it's even less likely!

Yueguan gave the other a cold look and questioned sharply, "Holy Daughter, are you saying that you know where Xu Sheng went??"

She, faced with his oppressive gaze, grew timid and subconsciously lowered her head...

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, I... I don't know where Xu Sheng went either," Lena admitted.

Yueguan withdrew his stare, "If you don't know, then stop spouting this useless nonsense!!"

Lena, witnessing her companion's anger for the first time, dared not retort, "Yes, Elder Ju!"

Flame, having witnessed the scene, couldn't contain his indignation and spoke up, "Er, Elder Ju, are you perhaps…"

Yueguan didn't give him the chance to continue, cutting him off with an icy stare...

"Flame, is there something you want to say??"

Flame's head immediately began to shake like a rattle-drum, "No, nothing, I don't want to say anything!"

Only then did Yueguan let out a cold "hmpf"...

"If you see Xu Sheng, tell him to visit His Holiness the Pope. There is an important mission for him!!"

Having said that, he left the area once again...

Leaving the three standing there, foolishly rooted to the spot, their eyes filled with intense confusion...

"What's gotten into Chrysanthemum Douluo today, to be so irritable!"

"Right, I've never seen Chrysanthemum Douluo lose his temper, today was a first, especially the way he looked at someone, as if he wanted their life!!"

"Perhaps something has happened recently, and with Xu Sheng not at the academy, Elder Ju is somewhat angered?"
