Xu Sheng looked at the surrounding elders and guest elders, as well as Bi Bidong, who was sitting silently in the Pope's Chair, and summarized, "In short, that's the situation. We will launch an attack on the Hao Tian Clan the morning after next."
After all, he had never seen the Hao Tian Clan, but he knew from the descriptions of the elders and guest elders that it was unrealistic to expect to launch a surprise attack by moonlight.
There was only the peak connected by iron chains, and the visibility at night affected sightlines, a moment's carelessness could cause a large group of surrounding Soul Masters to be affected because of one Soul Master.
The worst scenario would be if they were discovered by the Hao Tian Clan, who would only need to attack these easily broken iron chains to leave everyone from the Hall of Martial Souls with no place to avoid!!!
Even for a Soul Sage and a Soul Douluo, except for those with special soul skills and Martial Souls, it would be hard to escape unscathed...
Therefore, the risks and costs of the attack were extremely high!
"We have no objections!"
"I agree!"
"His Highness the Holy Son has indeed thought this through!"
The elder who had been the focus of Bi Bidong's attention earlier didn't dare to voice his agreement, thinking to himself that all he needed to do was listen quietly...
"Additionally, I would trouble everyone to spread the information about our upcoming attack on Hao Tian Clan afterward..."
Bi Bidong, with the Purple-Golden Scepter firmly in her grasp, showed a trace of confusion in her beautiful eyes upon hearing these words and thought secretly, "Spread the information? There seems to be a deeper meaning in my disciple's words..."
Or was it simply about spreading the information to enhance the dignity of the Hall of Martial Souls?
Or perhaps...
Upon hearing this, the other elders and guest elders began discussing, "Spread the information? I understand! His Highness the Holy Son wants to use this to intimidate other sects and smoothly subdue them!"
A guest elder stroked his beard, "Exactly, that's what I thought too. No wonder His Highness said he would subdue all sects within three days; he plans to do so by taking advantage of the downfall of Hao Tian Clan to make the other sects give up resisting."
Snake Spear gave a thumbs up, "Brilliant! Truly brilliant!"
Citun also raised his thumb, "Strong! Truly strong!"
The two of them were completely confident in the success of the attack on Hao Tian Clan, or it could also be said they had full confidence in Xu Sheng's strength.
Last time, even Yu Yuanzhen, who had employed True Dragon Nine Crowns and broke through to soul power rank level 97 to use such a terrifying attack, was almost killed under the influence of Xu Sheng's Second Soul Skill...
Although the Hao Tian Clan had many Titled Douluos, in front of Xu Sheng, they were like chickens and dogs, easily wiped out at his whim!
Seeing the attitudes of these elders and guest elders, Xu Sheng smiled and looked towards Bi Bidong, "Teacher, I'm done!"
The latter nodded slightly and slowly stood up from the Pope's Chair...
She suddenly slammed the Purple-Golden Scepter onto the ground, and a buzzing sound resonated as ripples emanated from around Bi Bidong...
A terrifying pressure filled with the desire for slaughter covered all the elders of the Hall of Martial Souls...
The faces of the elders drastically changed, each feeling their bodies becoming incredibly sluggish...
Just how strong was the person beneath the Papal crown to subdue them single-handedly!
Could it be that her strength was even more terrifying than the adjacent His Highness the Holy Son?
Upon further thought, if Xu Sheng could effortlessly kill a Hyper Douluo, with Yu Yuanzhen being the best evidence,
Then, as Xu Sheng's teacher, could the might of the one beneath the Papal crown kill a level-97, or even a level-98 Hyper Douluo???
In an instant, a faint color of fear emerged in the hearts of all present...
Bi Bidong observed each of their reactions, her tone extremely indifferent, "I hope that during this soul-erasing operation, you will unconditionally follow Xu Sheng's orders. Additionally, there's one more thing I want to say!"
These elders of the Hall of Martial Souls immediately flattered, "Please speak, Your Excellency the Pope!"
"If there is anything we can help you with, we will definitely give it our all!"
"The concerns of Your Excellency the Pope are ours!"
Bi Bidong's lips thinned as she murmured, "Good, after the soul-erasing operation is over, I hope all of you will help me to hunt the Titan Ape in the Aquipeia Forest! And... the Azure Oxpython!"
"What?? Titan Ape??"
"And that even more terrifying ruler from the Aquipeia Forest, the Azure Oxpython!"
"Let's not even talk about the Titan Ape, a hundred-year-old one can already contend with a ten-thousand-year soul beast, while the other is a horrifying soul beast of over one hundred thousand years!"
The faces of the Elders immediately turned ashen, their eyes filled with fear and dread...
Bi Bidong noticed their concerns and slowly said, "Elders, you need not worry. Your role is to restrain and prevent these two soul beasts from escaping, while the attack will be carried out by Xu Sheng and myself!"
Having these Elders of the Martial Soul Hall make a move would be tantamount to waiting until the end of time.
The Martial Soul Hall simply did not have that much time!
Hearing what Bi Bidong had said, the Elders' pale faces finally began to improve...
If that's the case, then it wouldn't really be a problem...
"Yes! We will comply with any task the Pope assigns!"
"We will spare no effort until our dying breath!"
Bi Bidong turned around and muttered to herself, "I hope when the time comes you can truly be as you say now..."
"Indeed, the Elder Hall is also a trouble..."
...
Slaughter City!
At the very top of the Infernal Slaughterhouse...
There he was, sitting leisurely on the balcony, looking down at Tang Chen below, and shook his head somewhat lamentably, "It's hard to tell whether continuing with Slaughter City is right or wrong!"
In the previous days, tired of this life, he had intended to close down Slaughter City and let this bloody place completely disappear from the Continent...
However, whenever he had such thoughts, he would remember that most people of Slaughter City could no longer survive outside...
This lawless land was like their lifetime sanctuary...
Most importantly, everyone's body harbored toxins from Bloody Mary. Once they left this place, without the supply from the former, the vast majority would likely fall into madness without Bloody Mary and be rejected by the outside world...
They would have essentially lost the right to survive...
Suddenly, there was a series of knocks at the door, "King of Slaughter! May I come in?"
"Come in!" Tang Chen's amiable face deliberately transformed back into the terrifying visage of the King of Slaughter...
He then slowly gripped the cup of Bloody Mary in his hand...
A woman dressed in black, holding two fresh Bloody Marys, walked in...
She slowly placed them on the table, and the next moment, her gaze fixed on the two cups of Bloody Mary that had been on the table for a few days...
They looked as if they hadn't been touched at all, not even a drop less...
The woman in black was filled with confusion, "King of Slaughter, did the Bloody Mary from the other day not suit your taste?"
Hearing this, Tang Chen turned his gaze towards the other Bloody Mary on the table, furrowed his brows and said in a hoarse voice, "No, I've just been somewhat absorbed watching the fighting down below lately..."
"Then, King of Slaughter, I will take my leave..."
The woman in black dared not say more, nodded her head, and turned to leave.
Tang Chen, his pupils filled with a bloody hue, watched her figure depart without much thought...
Little did he know, the woman in black was pondering to herself, "What has gotten into the King of Slaughter these days? He's not even drinking Bloody Mary anymore... or could it be..."
Suddenly, her pupils constricted, as if she had discovered something very important...
