Chapter 3406: News About His Highness the Holy Son

Martial Soul Hall!

Yueguan looked impatiently at the deacon standing in front of him and asked coldly, "Hmm? Did you seek me out for something specific?"

The latter immediately responded, "Elder Ju, I have very important matters to report to you, related to the commands issued by His Holiness the Pope!"

Yueguan was initially stunned, then propped up his chin and muttered, "The command issued by His Holiness the Pope..."

Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Isn't that related to His Highness the Holy Son? Could it be that you have gathered some intelligence?"

His tone became excited, seeming to urge the other to reveal the answer!

The deacon nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Elder Ju, the person I sent out has gathered intelligence related to His Highness the Holy Son!"

Yueguan gritted his teeth and demanded again, "No more nonsense, get to the point, where is His Highness the Holy Son now?"

This guy, can't he get straight to the point? Always beating around the bush!

If it weren't a matter of great importance, I would definitely not let this guy get away so easily!

The deacon was also startled and hurriedly explained, "Elder Ju, according to the intelligence I've gathered, His Highness the Holy Son was last seen on Sea God's Island!"

"He made contact with the undercover agents of Martial Soul Hall who were in hiding there!"

Upon hearing this, Yueguan couldn't help but widen his eyes, reaching out both hands to grasp the other, interrogating, "What? Sea God's Island, are you sure the information is correct?"

Sea God's Island?

Why would Xu Sheng and the others go to such a dangerous place as Sea God's Island?

You must know that most members of Martial Soul Hall who go there never return, not to mention those like them, whose strengths all reached the Title Douluo level!

They would definitely be discovered by the High Priest Poseissi the moment they entered, with no chance to hide!

The deacon swallowed nervously, cautiously replying, "Elder Ju, this matter is absolutely true, but when making contact with the undercover agents, His Highness the Holy Son appeared to be preparing to leave Sea God's Island!"

Though I too was incredulous when I first heard of it, after verification, the news is definitely true!

Of course, it's unclear exactly how His Highness the Holy Son managed to enter Sea God's Island without being detected!

Yueguan took a deep breath, calming himself...

Then he released the other, asserting firmly, "Continue gathering information related to His Highness the Holy Son, and notify me the moment you make contact!"

"I will now head to Martial Soul City and report this matter to His Holiness the Pope!"

Although we do not know the purpose of Xu Sheng and another's visit to Sea God's Island, at least they are still alive for now!

And there's a great possibility that they are returning to Martial Soul City, which is the only good news in recent days!

The deacon's face brightened, "Yes, Elder Ju!"

"Just... I wonder if you could speak well of me in front of His Holiness the Pope?"

Yueguan's gaze suddenly turned cold, "What? Are you trying to use this situation to curry favor with His Holiness?"

The deacon seemed to realize something and hurriedly waved his hands, "No... That's not it, please disregard what I just said, Elder Ju!"

If he upset Elder Ju, not to mention a reward, he might even lose his life!

Yueguan averted his gaze and slowly turned around...

"Hmph, keep your tricks to yourself. His Holiness means what he says, whoever gathers intelligence related to His Highness the Holy Son should naturally be rewarded. There's no need for these excesses!"

The other sighed in relief, bowing with a fist, "Yes, thank you, Elder Ju!"

If Elder Ju said that much, then it's surely a done deal!

...

Noon!

Having gathered the information, Yueguan immediately returned to Martial Soul City at the fastest speed...

And personally went to the secret cultivation site of Bi Bidong...

Looking at the bodies hanging in midair around him, he couldn't help but inhale sharply, "Hiss..."

How long has it been since we last saw His Holiness, and yet so many corpses have appeared again!

And by the looks of it, they were only delivered recently!

It seems His Holiness might be about to make another breakthrough!

Thinking this, he bent down toward the dark cave ahead and said, "Your Holiness, forgive my presumptuous disturbance, but I have urgent news to report to you."

However, he received no response...

Seeing this, Yueguan spoke again, "Your Holiness, I have urgent news that I need to report to you!"

Although he knew this would disturb His Holiness's cultivation, the latter had said that if there was any news about Xu Sheng and Gui Mei, it had to be reported immediately!

If he delayed, he might himself be punished!

Finally, after about a few minutes, a cold voice was heard...

"What is the matter that you couldn't wait to report this after I returned to the Pope Hall?"

Yueguan pursed his lips, and continued, "Your Holiness, I intended to do just that, but considering that this matter involves His Highness the Holy Son..."

As his voice trailed off, Bi Bidong, covered in fresh blood, slowly walked out from the cave...

Those crimson eyes, filled with towering murderous intent, stared fixedly at Yueguan...

"You just said, it involves Xu Sheng?"

Even seeing this, Yueguan was startled...

But he still replied truthfully, "Yes, Your Holiness, I have learned news about His Highness the Holy Son!"

"Speak!"

The concise word seemed to show that Bi Bidong had little patience!

Yueguan nodded, "According to the news, His Highness the Holy Son and Lao Gui were last seen on Sea God's Island!"

Bi Bidong frowned, "Sea God's Island? What are they doing there?"

It seems that the rumors seen in the Xingluo Empire were true after all!

Yueguan only shook his head to this and shared his opinion...

"I'm not sure, but it seems they haven't exposed their identities!"

"Otherwise, High Priest Poseissi would never have allowed them to be seen alive!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, "Interesting, it seems all this was premeditated!"

To think he was worried about the safety of Xu Sheng and his companion—it seems he worried needlessly!

After all, that is Sea God's Island, where anyone from Martial Soul Hall who steps onto it essentially has only one path—death!

What other dangers could possibly count for anything?

Yueguan seemed to understand something, incredulously saying, "Your Holiness, do you mean to say that Xu Sheng had planned his journey to Sea God's Island a long time ago, and even chose to do so during the Friendship Competition!"

"In that case, the upper three families never sent any Soul Master to assassinate him!"

Bi Bidong did not deny it, but flatly said, "That's right, all of us were outplayed by Xu Sheng."

Yueguan clenched his fists, "Damn it... to dare play us like that, and even not hesitate to reveal his true strength in front of Ning Fengzhi!"

"I knew he could not be trusted, Your Holiness, do you need someone sent to capture him and bring him back?"

But Bi Bidong waved off the suggestion...

"There is no need for that; he will return on his own, otherwise he wouldn't have the undercover agent on Sea God's Island send back the message."

Perhaps, there was a deeper meaning that he did not yet understand!
