Golden Crocodile's Bond with His Disciples, the Pope Seeks Medicine

In truth, Bibi Dong did not mind Du Bai being late. She simply had a habit of keeping a cold expression.

Du Bai, however, felt guilty. Coupled with Bibi Dong's indifferent look, he assumed that he had made her angry.

"Du Bai, let's set off now."

Bibi Dong tried her best to make her icy expression seem gentler and soften her tone.

Yet in Du Bai's eyes, this seemed somewhat unusual.

I'm screwed. My wife Xiao Dong Dong must be angry. That expression is kind of scary!

Hearing Du Bai's thoughts, Bibi Dong's body stiffened. Being cold and aloof was better. This old lady wasn't going to force herself anymore.

Then Du Bai and Bibi Dong left Spirit Hall and headed for Sunset Forest.

Along the way, Du Bai and Bibi Dong sometimes traveled by carriage and sometimes went on foot.

Alternating between the two means of travel, they were expected to reach Sunset Forest by that evening.

They were not the only ones leaving Spirit Hall.

At the other end of Spirit Hall.

Golden Crocodile Douluo, Spirit Hall's Second Worshipper, was bidding farewell to his disciples, Xie Mo and Yi.

"Xie Mo, Yi, the two of you will be heading to Death Grand Canyon this time. With no elder escorting you, you must work together and remain vigilant in all matters!"

"Strive to break through to Soul Douluo as soon as possible and return to compete with the Holy Son at the Coronation Ceremony for the next Pope's successor."

Golden Crocodile Douluo instructed them.

"Understood, Teacher. We will definitely break through before the Coronation Ceremony begins and return in time!"

Yi, whose hair resembled flames, spoke with a determined gaze.

"Yi and I will not disappoint Teacher's expectations!"

A trace of black light flashed across the mysterious pattern on Xie Mo's face as he declared his resolve.

"Good. I believe this journey will surely bring me a pleasant surprise from the two of you!"

"Even if you are delayed on the road, I will apply to the Pope and the First Worshipper to postpone the Coronation Ceremony. Go without worries!"

A kindly expression appeared on Golden Crocodile Douluo's fierce face.

As the Second Worshipper of Spirit Hall's Elder Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo naturally had the privilege of applying to delay the Coronation Ceremony.

Even Pope Qian Xunji and First Worshipper Qian Daoliu had to give this Second Worshipper, Golden Crocodile Douluo, some face.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Xie Mo and Yi respectfully bowed, then set off on their journey to Death Grand Canyon.

Like the City of Slaughter, Death Canyon was a place filled with danger and opportunity. It could force soul masters to unleash their bodies' greatest potential, thereby increasing their strength.

"Either improve yourself through slaughter, or perish through slaughter."

"With no elder protecting you this time, I hope you can return in one piece."

"Though even if you return, you still will not be able to defeat the Holy Son, at least you will have grown."

Golden Crocodile Douluo watched his two prized disciples depart, and his imposing, towering body seemed to hunch slightly.

Thinking that they would still be no match for Du Bai even after breaking through to Soul Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo could not help but let out a long sigh.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had personally witnessed Du Bai's appearance after his Twin Martial Souls awakened.

Not only had Du Bai's martial souls evolved with remarkable success, but even his low-year soul rings had fallen away.

Even now, whenever he recalled the martial souls' appearance and the aura they emitted, Golden Crocodile Douluo felt a sense of dread and a threat to his own life.

"Sigh."

Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed again.

Golden Crocodile Douluo knew that his disciples Yi and Xie Mo would one day face Holy Son Du Bai, whose martial souls possessed eight soul rings over fifty thousand years old.

For Yi and Xie Mo, even losing with dignity would be a luxury, let alone winning.

Even so.

Golden Crocodile Douluo still encouraged Yi and Xie Mo to challenge Du Bai.

If one feared an opponent and did not dare to try, what right did one have to become a soul master?

Such cowardly people, even if they lived on, would sooner or later be eliminated by other experts!

For the sake of these two disciples, Golden Crocodile Douluo had truly worried himself sick.

He had even deliberately concealed information about Du Bai's even more terrifying mutated martial souls, all to help his two disciples build their confidence.

"Sigh. I only hope this training will make your mindsets more mature and steady, and help you take the future matches more calmly."

His third sigh rang out. Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head and left.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was already over one hundred and forty years old. Having devoted his entire life to cultivation, he had no children.

Among all of Golden Crocodile Douluo's disciples, Xie Mo and Yi were the two most outstanding. He had long treated them as his heirs and raised them accordingly.

The young generation heading out for training were not the only ones leaving Spirit Hall.

Pope Qian Xunji was also on the list of travelers.

"Bewitching Douluo, I'm coming."

"This time, with a precious Heavenly Chicken Head Soul Bone, I should be able to exchange it for Bewitching Douluo's famous Soul-Stealing Wind Powder, as well as other high-quality Mysterious Drugs!"

"Du Bai, my dear Holy Son, I have truly gone to great lengths for you."

A sharp gleam flashed across Qian Xunji's sinister face.

"And Dong'er. Your teacher has discovered that ever since I developed lustful thoughts toward you and failed to have you, your alluring figure has lingered in my mind, impossible to dispel."

"Your teacher craves your body. You are the knot in my heart. If I cannot have you, I fear I will never be able to reach Level 100 or enter the God Segment in this lifetime."

Thinking of Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji's sinister face turned feverish and lewd.

Bewitching Douluo's true cultivation was actually only at the Soul Douluo level.

However, he was exceptionally skilled at making Mysterious Drugs. Even Titled Douluo experts could be left dazed and entranced by his drugs if they let their guard down.

Before Bewitching Douluo became famous.

Many experts, including Titled Douluo-level powerhouses, had met bitter ends at Bewitching Douluo's hands.

Among them were many young and beautiful women, especially female soul masters with lovely appearances.

It was precisely because Bewitching Douluo's Mysterious Drugs were so terrifying and his record so illustrious.

That despite possessing only Soul Douluo cultivation, he was bestowed the title Bewitching Douluo by those in the circle.

After becoming famous, Bewitching Douluo feared being targeted by enemies. He became extremely low-profile and gradually faded from the soul master world.

Moreover, most soul masters who had suffered at Bewitching Douluo's hands had already been brutally killed by him.

Thus, few people knew of Bewitching Douluo's existence.

As an insider and the Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji naturally knew of Bewitching Douluo's existence.

This time, Qian Xunji was seeking drugs in preparation for subduing Du Bai and Bibi Dong.

Du Bai was Spirit Hall's Holy Son and also Spirit Hall's next Pope.

If he wanted to eliminate Du Bai in the future, he naturally could not use violence. He could only use schemes.

Qian Xunji was making preparations in advance, taking precautions against future trouble.

"Du Bai, Du Bai, hurry up and grow stronger. Help my Spirit Hall wipe out the Clear Sky Sect and the Two Great Empires!"

Qian Xunji's face was dark and terrifying.

Pope Qian Xunji had already made his plans. Once Du Bai helped Spirit Hall unify the continent, he would use Mysterious Drugs to knock him out and cripple him.
