After listening to Ning Fengzhi's proposal, Ou Ya and Hai Mao decided to wait and see.
If the Vast Sea Universe Cover was really in the hands of the Spirit Hall, it would be easier to deal with. The only thing to worry about is that the people under the Spirit Hall took the Vast Sea Universe Cover privately and hid it. Looking for it in this way would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Of course, the Sea God's divine consciousness was in the Vast Sea Universe Cover. Logically, it was quite easy for the Sea God to find it. But when Poseidon could not sense the existence of his divine consciousness on the Douluo Continent, he knew that there was something more complicated behind this matter.
The one who can wipe out divine thoughts without any warning must be either a god, or a god's successor, and this person is not far from inheriting the throne.
Bo Saidong secretly investigated in the God Realm and quickly ruled out the possibility of gods committing the crime. With no clues left, he decided to let Bo Saixi look for it on Douluo Continent. He would not tell the specific reason, after all, it was embarrassing.
As for his divine consciousness, it had already been refined by Han Yu. And at this moment, Han Yu was practicing in seclusion with the help of his surging spiritual power. He didn't know about the news of the sea soul master's journey.
When Ou Ya and the others met Ning Fengzhi and the others, Dugu Bo retreated several miles for fear of being exposed. After exceeding the range of the soul guide telescope, he didn't know what Ning Fengzhi and the others talked about.
…
In the Star Dou Great Forest, with the presence of the two Titled Douluo, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo, the Soul Hunting Team once again came to the junction of the mixed area and the core area, and stayed there for many days.
Ghost Douluo and Golden Eagle Soul Douluo have collected a lot of intelligence about the core area, and they have completely mastered the information about the Titan Giant Ape. If they really start fighting, the Titan Giant Ape will have no chance of escape.
As for the Azure Bull Python, since Han Yu made his move, such a large soul beast seemed to have disappeared. No matter how Ghost Douluo searched, he could not find any trace of it. They suspected that the Azure Bull Python was hiding in the Lake of Life, but the Titan Giant Ape was guarding the periphery of the lake, and the three brothers of the Qianjun Ant King were eyeing it covetously, so Ghost Douluo could not go deeper.
After learning about Ghost Douluo's report, Bibi Dong quickly rushed here.
"teacher."
"Your Holiness."
Everyone in the Soul Hunting Team saluted quickly.
Bibi Dong did not talk to Hu Liena immediately, but bypassed her and went to Ghost Douluo. Compared with her own disciples, this soul hunting operation was related to her divine test, and she could not afford to make any mistakes.
After reporting, Ghost Douluo said helplessly, "Your Holiness, please forgive me for my incompetence and failure to find the trace of the Blue Bull Python."
Originally, the ancient books of the Spirit Hall simply recorded that the Titan Giant Ape, the King of the Forest, and the Azure Bull Python, the Emperor of the Forest, lived in the deepest part of the forest. The information that Ghost Douluo had discovered this time was a great achievement, so how could Bibi Dong blame him?
"Ghost Elder, you've done a great job. This time, no matter what, these two beasts can't escape." Bibi Dong's gaze turned towards the depths of the forest. This time, she was determined to win.
Ghost Douluo Lian said: "Your Holiness, there is one more important thing. A few days ago, I detected an extremely powerful and hidden aura deep in the mixed area. After I chased it, I didn't find the source of the aura. But it's very strange there, there are some old blue silver grasses, and they have formed a huge scale. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I didn't go deep into it."
“Now that I think about it, it’s very likely that the Azure Bull Python hid in there, waiting for an opportunity to strike.”
Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly when she heard this. She hurriedly asked, "Ghost Elder, did you see it with your own eyes?"
Gui Mei shook his head. He only felt the fluctuation of soul power, but did not find any trace of the other party.
Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief and analyzed, "That shouldn't be the Azure Bull Python. According to records, the Azure Bull Python is extremely large. The size of its dragon head alone is comparable to that of the Titan Ape. With such a large body, wherever it passes, dark clouds will surely cover the city."
Ghost Douluo thought it made sense, and stroked his chin and said, "I have not seen such a scene. If it is a soul beast, its size should not be larger than the Titan Giant Ape. But if it is a human soul master."
At this point, his expression became serious. "Your Holiness, this man's aura is probably not inferior to that of the three priests. If this is true, we need the support of the priests for this operation, so that it will be safer."
Bibi Dong also thought it made sense. However, when she set out, Qian Renxue was worried about her safety and sent Qian Jun and Jiang Mo Douluo to help her.
Not long ago, the two of them had both broken through in spirit power, so it was unlikely that they would be able to break through again in a short period of time. In the worship hall, the other worshippers were in seclusion, so they were the only ones who could be mobilized for the time being.
At this moment, the two of them were lurking behind the main force, ensuring the safety of the rear while also removing potential threats for the main force. Of course, if anything happened to the main force, they would immediately provide support.
“Don’t worry, the chief priest has specially dispatched six or seven priests to help. If a strong man really appears, the two of them plus us, five Titled Douluo are enough to deal with it.” Bibi Dong said indifferently.
In her heart, she was unwilling to let Qianjun and Jiangmo help. The soul hunting operation was initiated by the Pope's Palace, but in the end, the Worship Palace had to clean up the mess. This was too embarrassing.
Now that the serious business has been discussed, Bibi Dong will definitely ask about the previous experience of the Soul Hunting Team.
Thinking of this, Ghost Douluo hurriedly said: "Your Holiness, Nana's performance during this period is remarkable. The reason why she requested the support of the Eighth Priest was because that bastard Tie Niu did not obey orders. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Nana was imprisoned."
Bibi Dong did not express her opinion, but asked: "I know Tie Niu's temper. Since the incident was caused by him, he will definitely not shirk responsibility. Why does Elder Ghost need to do this?"
"This..." Ghost Douluo was speechless for a moment.
Although the Pope's Palace and the Temple of the Worship have reconciled in recent years, the original small groups still exist.
Originally they had complaints about Bibi Dong, but after the reconciliation, they would no longer bring up such words that were not conducive to unity.
But the contradiction did not disappear, but was transferred. The object of this transfer happened to be Hu Liena.
Hu Liena is the Saint of the Spirit Hall, and it is understandable that she occupies rich cultivation resources. But the problem is that the Spirit Hall cannot have two Saints. With Qian Renxue's return, the contradiction has reached its peak.
No matter how you look at it, Qian Renxue is the legitimate heir of the Qian family, and Hu Liena is just an outsider. The two of them had reached a settlement in Canaan City before, but this matter was not made public, and the outside world had no way of knowing it.
Hu Liena volunteered for this soul hunting operation. If she completed the task well and the Worship Hall remained silent, she would at least not be deprived of her current treatment. But something went wrong, and Han Yu had to rescue them.
I don't know who let the secret slip, but now some elders from the Elders' Hall have come to the Pope's Hall to ask for an explanation.
But looking at Bibi Dong's attitude, it seems that she doesn't take the matter to heart.
Guimei knew that he was destined to be a hard worker and had no idea about political tactics, so he tactfully did not ask any more questions.
"Yes, Your Holiness."
Bibi Dong did not walk far, but walked towards Hu Liena.
"Your Holiness, Nana."
Without giving Yue Guan a chance to speak, Bibi Dong interrupted him with a wave of her hand.
As Han Yu's follower in the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong let the Golden Eagle Soul Douluo finish his words.
"Your Holiness, the Saint's performance has met the standards you set at the time. She is even more sophisticated than us old guys in handling certain details."
"Your Holiness, this matter was caused by me and has nothing to do with Her Highness the Saint." Tie Niu quickly responded.
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, with no emotion in her eyes.
Although she wanted to protect Hu Liena, if she was disappointed again and again, she would have no choice but to resort to the worst possible means. Fortunately, Hu Liena's performance did not disappoint her.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Nana, come with me." After saying this simply, Bibi Dong turned and walked towards the tent nearby.
Hu Liena was extremely nervous. She didn't know whether her actions would disappoint her teacher, and she didn't know how much pressure this incident would put on her teacher.
"Nana, you have done a good job. His Holiness the Pope will not blame you. Just go with peace of mind."
"His Holiness the Pope once said that if you lose, you must admit defeat and stand at attention when you are beaten. If you show this expression, His Holiness the Pope will probably be truly disappointed."
Compared to ghosts, Yueguan needs to be more careful in interpersonal communication and pay better attention to details.
Hu Liena calmed herself down and quickly followed.
Inside the tent, Bibi Dong sat on the main seat, looking around casually.
Hu Liena stood in front of her. Although Yue Guan had given her reassurances, she was still a little worried.
After a while, Bibi Dong said, "Nana, don't you have anything to say?"
Hu Liena staggered and fell to her knees. "Teacher, because of my wrong decision, almost everyone was killed. I am willing to accept all punishments and take the corresponding responsibilities."
Bibi Dong smiled at first, then said calmly: "Nana, this matter was caused by Tie Niu. When he returns to the palace, he will bear the corresponding punishment. This is not your problem. Your problem is not here."
Hu Liena had already simulated all possible outcomes in her mind, but she never expected that her teacher did not blame her for it.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Teacher, I failed to stop Senior Tie Niu. If I could be tougher, maybe Senior Tie Niu could change his mind, and we wouldn't have to..."
Bibi Dong interrupted, "Coercion is the worst way. If you do this, you will definitely offend Tie Niu. With your current strength, if you offend a veteran Soul Douluo, and an old antique at that, will your future be easy?"
At this point, she paused for a moment. Seeing Hu Liena's look of seeking advice, she continued, "Back then, when I ascended to the position of Pope, no one in the entire Spirit Hall supported me. Whether it was walking on thin ice or feeling like a thorn in the back, I still managed to survive. Now, although the situation back then will not happen again, my style and methods of doing things remain the same."
"I read a book a long time ago. I have long forgotten the title and content of the book. But there is one sentence that I still remember clearly: 'In this world, you should make many friends. If you are imprisoned one day, these friends will be your way out.' Instead of thinking about how to fight Tie Niu, it is better to think about how to make friends with him."
"It's true that Tieniu is an old-fashioned man, but he also has his bright spots. When something went wrong, he didn't put the blame on you. Maybe in your heart, he always goes against you, and you don't like such people. But you have a problem with the way you look at things, so you can only see his bad side, and his responsible side is subconsciously ignored by you."
Hu Liena nodded thoughtfully, "Teacher, I think I have done a lot of things wrong. I am willing to return the position of Saint. All of this is due to my carelessness. As the leader, I should bear all the responsibility."
Bibi Dong stood up, walked to Hu Liena, and gently stroked her forehead. "Nana, I am very happy that you can take the initiative to admit your mistakes and find out your own shortcomings. Don't say these words in the future. From now on, you should focus on assisting Xue'er. This is the greatest reward for the Spirit Hall."
"Yes, teacher." Hu Liena responded seriously.
Bibi Dong was somewhat relieved. She didn't want to say these words.
Hu Liena had been living under her wing for years, and had acted without considering the consequences. If she said it too early, she might not listen. If she mentioned it again in the future, she would be even less concerned.
Seeing the change in Hu Liena, Bibi Dong told her way of dealing with things. If Hu Liena could "absorb" it all, she could save a lot of trouble in the future.
Bibi Dong kept her eyes on Hu Liena as she left the tent.
Hu Liena immediately went to find Tie Niu. Although no one knew what they said, Tie Niu's face, which was always stern, suddenly showed a rare smile.
Having achieved the desired effect, Bibi Dong slowly closed the tent and began to think about the specific soul hunting plan.
First of all, the Star Dou Great Forest is not their home ground. The Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python are the indigenous people who have lived here for 100,000 years, and everything here is under their control.
A hundred thousand year old soul beast has wisdom that is not inferior to that of humans, so it is not easy to lure it into a trap using ordinary means.
The only way left was to attack them with a strong force, and to kill them in one fell swoop. But the dying counterattack of a hundred thousand year soul beast was not so easy to deal with. If they chose to self-destruct, not only would they lose their soul rings and soul bones, but the soul hunting team would also suffer heavy losses.
Recalling what Han Yu said, there are not only two hundred thousand year old soul beasts, Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python, in the Xingdou Great Forest. There are many more hundred thousand year old soul beasts lurking in the dark, and there are even those that are beyond a hundred thousand years old. Bibi Dong dare not take it lightly.
"The combined Killing God Domain and Death Domain should be able to intimidate those two beasts. The martial soul fusion technique of Jue Gui and others is a good help. Well, let Qianjun and the Demon-Subduing Priest keep a close eye on the rear."
