"Master, the chief priest asked you to go find him immediately after entering the city."
Han Yu nodded, and the carriage drove into Wuhun City.
Qian Daoliu must have heard about the destruction of Sea God Island. It was not surprising that he came to ask me about it. But what was strange was that he seemed too anxious.
Logically speaking, Spirit Hall and Sea God Island were not allies, and were even enemies. It was unreasonable for him to care so much about the life and death of his enemy.
Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu came to see him at the same time, and Han Yu couldn't make up his mind who to see first.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to the Pope's Palace first.
Qian Daoliu came to him for personal matters, but Bibi Dong came to him for official matters. Personal matters could be put aside, but official matters had to be dealt with first.
As soon as Han Yu entered the Pope's Palace, he saw Hu Liena walking towards him.
"Eighth Lord, our teacher went out to practice three days ago and will probably be back tonight. I will inform you when she comes back." Hu Liena said respectfully.
Well, I originally wanted to meet Bibi Dong first, but she went out.
Logically speaking, Bibi Dong's current strength is on par with Qian Daoliu, and the reason she still goes to practice is most likely because of the divine test.
Bibi Dong had completed the Rakshasa God's divine test very well, but with the departure of Rakshasa God, everything she had done before was in vain. When she got a new divine test, even if she was already an Ultimate Douluo, she still had to start from the first test.
Han Yu guessed that Bibi Dong was most likely distracted by completing the divine exam, which reduced her time for handling official business. She probably came to him to discuss who would take her place in handling official business.
Qian Renxue definitely can’t do that, as she also has her own divine test to complete.
After much thought, it seemed that the only person Bibi Dong trusted most in the Spirit Hall was Hu Liena in front of her.
In the original time and space, when Bibi Dong was in her final retreat, many things were handled by Hu Liena. Recalling the good things Hu Liena did in the original time and space, Han Yu would never agree to let her handle official business on behalf of Bibi Dong.
It's okay to let her make suggestions, but she must never be the one making the decisions.
Han Yu didn't think much about this issue. After all, he couldn't jump to conclusions before Bibi Dong came back.
In front of the worship hall, after sensing Han Yu's breath, Qian Daoliu immediately came out to greet him.
"Xiaoxue is still taking the test, let's go talk somewhere else."
Not far from the worship hall, there is a garden.
After seeing Qian Daoliu and Han Yu coming, the waiters here quickly cleared all the people around and put up warning signs, prohibiting anyone from approaching.
"I have received news from various coastal cities. It seems that you have really destroyed the Sea God Island." Qian Daoliu's tone was flat, without any emotional fluctuations.
Han Yu leaned against a stone pillar and said, "Great Priest, I reached a deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. He sacrificed his power to me to help me break through. And I will use this power to help him complete his revenge on the Sea God Island."
His words were half true and half false. The rich spiritual energy on the Sea God Island was the best choice for breaking through the soul power level 100. Failure to break through was only a matter of time. Before that, Han Yu had already been drooling over it.
Besides, the words and deeds of the Sea God made him very unhappy. There was also a revenge factor in destroying the Sea God Island.
Qian Daoliu looked at Han Yu with a complicated expression, "Bo Saixi's strength is above mine. If you can defeat her, it proves that you are stronger than me."
Han Yu shrugged but did not deny it.
In fact, his strength had surpassed Qian Daoliu a few years ago, but at that time, he was not in a hurry to show it.
After a pause, Qian Daoliu continued: "Now that Sea God Island is gone, it will be easier to implement your plan."
"In addition, I have made some position changes to the Spirit Hall elders. I wanted to listen to your opinion, but I couldn't contact you, so I only adjusted some of the elders for the time being."
Otto, the master of Hanhai City's Wuhun Hall, had already told Han Yu about the personnel adjustment. He just didn't expect that this was not Bibi Dong's opinion, but Qian Daoliu's.
Han Yu had just returned and had not had time to inquire about these things. Since the person involved, Qian Daoliu, was here, he simply asked directly: "Grand Priest, I wonder how you adjusted it?"
Qian Daoliu smiled and said, "During the time you were away, the elders' strength improved a lot. The Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo of the Pope's Hall broke through to level ninety-six during this period, and the Ghost Leopard Douluo of the Elders' Hall also broke through at the same time."
"According to the rules of the Spirit Hall, elders above level 96 will automatically be given the title of Worshiper. However, in the history of the Worship Hall, there has never been more than ten Worshipers."
"Etiquette cannot be abolished, so I have decided to appoint Ghost Leopard Douluo as the second priest of the new generation of the Temple of Worship, and Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo as the third and fourth priests respectively."
After hearing this, Han Yu finally understood. Qian Daoliu wanted to pave the way for Qian Renxue. After this generation of worship officially ended, everything in the Spirit Hall would belong to Qian Renxue.
After a pause, Qian Daoliu continued, "We, the older generation of priests, will retire as elders or continue to stay in the temple after Xiaoxue succeeds to the position of Pope."
Next, the Spirit Hall will have to deal with the war across the continent, so changing generals at the last minute is definitely not an option. It is very likely that after the unification of the continent, Bibi Dong will give way to Qian Renxue.
According to the rules of the Spirit Hall, after Bibi Dong abdicates, she will automatically be given the title of Chief Worshiper of the Worship Hall. In other words, in the future, Bibi Dong will be the Chief Worshiper of the Worship Hall.
Han Yu had no objection to this. After the unification of the continent, he would not stay in the Spirit Hall. He would not care about the future of the Spirit Hall.
Qian Daoliu added: "Eighth Priest, I know you may be very busy in the future. So I have decided to appoint you as the Honorary Priest of the Priesthood. If you are free in the future, please help Xiaoxue manage the Spirit Hall."
Han Yu neither agreed nor refused, "Great Priest, let's talk about this later. By the way, how is the situation with my second brother? After a year, there should be no problems with their divine examination."
Qian Daoliu responded, "Five days ago, the second brother brought the three little guys back to Wuhun City. But you came a step too late. Yesterday they set off for the north of the continent. According to the second brother, they should be going to complete the divine test."
"Oh, by the way, there is one more very important thing."
"What's the matter?" Han Yu asked.
Qian Daoliu's expression became much more serious. "There is a problem with the Spirit Hall's base near the Slaughter City. Not long ago, a convoy transporting supplies was attacked in a village near the Slaughter City."
"The attackers are the group of fallen ones, but the situation this time is different. This group of fallen ones seem to have an organization, and they also believe in an evil god called 'Lake God'. This is the only information I have at the moment. You should discuss the details with Bibi Dong. Once the evil soul masters' team grows, it will seriously endanger the security of the continent."
"Once we find out the situation of the 'lake god' they mentioned, we must eradicate it completely."
The fallen were originally vicious criminals, and strictly speaking, they could not be defined as evil soul masters. But when a group of criminals were organized together, they were probably not far from becoming true evil soul masters.
But who is this lake god? Han Yu has never heard of him, and he has never appeared in the plot of the original time and space.
Ever since I helped him break through last time, this guy has become my best friend.
"Elder Ghost Leopard, do you know anything about the situation of the Lake God?" Han Yu asked straight to the point.
Since Qian Renxue has not yet taken the position, Ghost Leopard Douluo is not yet considered the second worshiper. Moreover, what Qian Daoliu proposed is just a draft, and there will be some changes in the future implementation.
Ghost Leopard Douluo didn't know much, and this matter was not investigated by him.
"Eighth Priest, this matter was investigated by the Third Priest. I am not very clear about the specific situation, but I once encountered an unknown titled strongman when I was on a mission nearby."
Ghost Leopard Douluo stroked his chin and recalled: "At that time, we just exchanged glances, and the other party had no intention of attacking, and then we separated. Now that I think about it, that guy's identity is a bit suspicious. But I had already alerted the enemy at the time, so it might be difficult to find him again."
Han Yu thought for a moment and said, "Elder Ghost Leopard, go investigate near the Slaughter City. If you find any situation, report to me immediately using the communication soul guide. The chief priest speculated based on the intelligence he received that there is a high possibility of an evil soul master's hideout there."
Hearing this, Ghost Leopard Douluo's eyes lit up.
You know, destroying an evil spirit master's lair can get a high reward in the Spirit Hall. If the scale of the evil spirit master is large enough, even if you just report the coordinates of the evil spirit master's lair and do not participate in the subsequent clearing operation, you can get a generous reward.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
He had just broken through level 96 not long ago. If he wanted to become the second-level worshiper, his soul power level must be higher than that of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo. Han Yu put the opportunity to make merit in front of him, how could he not be happy.
"Don't worry, Eighth Lord. I will set off right away."
"Wait." Han Yu stopped him. Qian Daoliu meant that this matter should be decided by him and Bibi Dong.
Although Bibi Dong would most likely agree to his plan, sending Ghost Leopard Douluo off early would inevitably cause gossip.
"You are going alone, and you are not strong enough after all. Later, I will ask the Pope to send some powerful Soul Douluo to help you."
Since he had decided to let Ghost Leopard Douluo handle the matter, Han Yu naturally would not assign anyone else to share the credit with him.
In the Spirit Hall's reward and punishment system, when performing tasks, rewards are distributed according to the soul power level range, that is, Title Douluo level one, Soul Douluo level one.
If there is only one Title Douluo in the team, then the rewards in this range will belong to that one person. If there are multiple Title Douluo, then they will share it equally.
Ghost Leopard Douluo responded, "Yes, Eighth Lord. I am at your disposal at any time."
…
At night, Han Yu lived in the manor prepared for him by the Spirit Hall.
He had no plans to rest. If the matter of the Lake God was not handled properly, he would not be able to live in peace even if he really unified the continent.
You know, evil soul masters are best at guerrilla warfare. Moreover, if this group of evil soul masters with faith develops into an evil soul master organization like the Holy Spirit Church in the Sun and Moon Continent in the future, it will be very difficult to eradicate.
Sometimes it is better to do well in the present than to believe in the wisdom of future generations.
Not long after, Hu Liena and her men arrived at his manor.
"Eighth Priest, the teacher is back and asked us to invite you over." Hu Liena bowed and said to the manor.
However, she did not get a reply from Han Yu.
"Nana, is the Eighth Priest taking a rest?" Yan couldn't help but ask.
Hu Liena shook her head. "That shouldn't be possible. Let's wait a little longer."
But in fact, after Han Yu sensed their breath, he had already rushed to the Pope's Palace.
After all, if the problem really involved Hu Liena, she would never be present.
Inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong was leaning on the throne, her face showing a little fatigue.
"Eighth Priest, you're back." Seeing Han Yu appear, she quickly cheered up.
"Your Holiness, did you not get enough rest?" Han Yu asked with a strange expression.
You know, even when Bibi Dong was the only one in charge, she didn't show such tiredness as she does today.
"I've had too many things to do recently and haven't had enough rest." Bibi Dong responded casually, waved her hand, and sent the four people in front of her away.
In addition to Juegui Douluo, She Long and Cixue were newly added to the Pope's Palace. Perhaps in order to better assist Qian Renxue, She Long and the other two were transferred to the Pope's Palace by Qian Daoliu in advance.
Bibi Dong said, "Eighth Priest, I have a lot of things to do recently, and I need to find someone to help with the affairs of the Pope's Palace. Xue'er still has to complete the divine test, and she can't leave the Priest's Palace for the time being. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
Han Yu was not surprised. Looking at Bibi Dong's expression, he knew that she was indeed very busy recently.
However, since he was the one who recommended the candidate, he would definitely not recommend Hu Liena.
"The elders in the Elders' Hall all have good abilities. If His Holiness the Pope is willing, you can go to them. At worst, the Pope's Hall also has many Soul Douluo masters. They are originally part of the Pope's Hall and will be more adept at handling affairs."
Bibi Dong nodded and then expressed her thoughts, "Eighth Worshiper, what do you think of Nana?"
Han Yu had already guessed that she would say that, and replied calmly: "She is still too young. The Pope's Palace is a matter of great importance, and she is not qualified for it."
You know, Bibi Dong took over the Spirit Hall when she was in her thirties, and at that time, she was already a Titled Douluo. Now Hu Liena is only in her twenties and has only the strength of a Soul Saint.
In terms of qualifications and strength, she is totally unqualified. Even if Bibi Dong thinks she has grown up, so what? As long as not everyone in the Pope's Palace recognizes her, there will be trouble in the future.
Of course, Han Yu did not condemn her outright, and added: "Hu Liena can participate in handling official affairs and give corresponding suggestions, but she must not be the decision maker."
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment and agreed with Han Yu's opinion.
