Enshrined Elders

Bibi Dong's expression had already turned frosty as she said coldly,

"Yu Xiaogang, you're far too full of yourself. Is it really that hard to admit that others are outstanding?"

With that, she turned and left with Ye Xiaobao.

Before leaving, Ye Xiaobao looked back at the two of them, waved, and grinned.

"We'll meet again..."

After Ye Xiaobao and Bibi Dong left, Tang San helped Yu Xiaogang out of the Star Dou Great Forest. Their backs looked somewhat lonely.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong had brought Ye Xiaobao deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Teacher, I think I can try absorbing a four-thousand-year second soul ring."

Walking behind Bibi Dong, Ye Xiaobao spoke in a deep voice.

His Soul Power had now reached level twenty-seven.

In other words, during this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, his Soul Power would very likely reach level thirty. Then, after absorbing his third soul ring, he would become a Soul Elder.

A six-year-old Soul Elder!

Yet Bibi Dong fell into thought. The matter of soul skills truly exceeded her understanding somewhat.

She had plans for everything else, but soul skills...

"Xiaobao, what plans do you have for your second soul ring?"

"Teacher, it doesn't matter if I don't get a soul skill. The enhancement brought by my martial soul is enough to make up for that shortcoming."

Ye Xiaobao remained rather calm. He always had the feeling that the Great Sage Martial Soul was definitely not so simple. After all, that had been his childhood idol.

More than ten days had passed since Bibi Dong and Ye Xiaobao returned from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Inside the Worship Hall.

Holding the Pope's Scepter, Bibi Dong stood in the center of the great hall, facing six Enshrined Elders alone.

The hall was somewhat dark, and only seven stone seats arranged in a circle could vaguely be seen.

Behind them stood a massive Angel God Statue.

Aside from the empty main seat, the other six seats were occupied. They were the six great Enshrined Elders other than Qian Daoliu.

All six Enshrined Elders were peak Douluo above level ninety-five.

The Second Worship was even a level ninety-eight peak Douluo, just one step away from becoming a Limit Douluo.

The Worship Hall could directly dismiss the Pope and was the true center of power within Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong could not help thinking, Hmph, these Enshrined Elders are still so high and mighty. One day, I will completely control Spirit Hall.

"Why has the Great Enshrined Elder not arrived yet?"

She gritted her teeth as she said this. As the Pope, she truly felt that the Worship Hall was showing her too little respect.

"Big Brother has authorized this old man to act on behalf of the Worship Hall in full. Pope, if you have something to say, tell me." The huge man seated to the left of the main seat spoke.

Clad in golden armor, the man radiated overwhelming pressure. He was the Second Worship of the Worship Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo.

He was already over two hundred years old, and because Bibi Dong had killed Qian Xunji, he was extremely hostile toward her.

Bibi Dong's face turned cold. "If that is the case, then I'll say it. I intend to mobilize all the power of the Worship Hall and Hall of Elders to wipe out the Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Sect, and Blue Lightning Sect!"

"Especially the Clear Sky Sect!"

A white-haired youth seated in the middle on the right slapped the armrest of his stone seat.

"That's impossible!"

His voice sounded extremely young.

He looked only around ten years old. His pupils emitted an icy gleam, and his features were exceptionally handsome. He was the Fifth Enshrined, Light Feather Douluo.

Bibi Dong looked toward Light Feather Douluo and waved her hand as she demanded sharply, "Why not?"

"Although the Clear Sky Sect is powerful, Tang Chen is currently absent. This is the best opportunity to eliminate them."

She then added,

"As long as the Worship Hall takes action, I am confident we can directly destroy the Clear Sky Sect. Once the three upper sects are removed, who in the future will be able to stop our Martial Soul Empire?"

After hearing Bibi Dong's impassioned words, Light Feather Douluo was not intimidated by her imposing manner. He remained seated and said calmly,

"Big Brother once promised Tang Chen that he would not act against the Clear Sky Sect. Do you intend to make Big Brother break his promise?"

He narrowed his eyes and continued,

"The Worship Hall will never take action!"

"If the Pope wishes to destroy the Clear Sky Sect, the Worship Hall will not stop her either!"

Bibi Dong's expression had already become rather ugly.

She had already prepared herself for the Enshrined Elders to reject her proposal, but she had not expected them to give her so little face.

"Since the Worship Hall has no intention of acting, then... can you grant me one request?"

A hint of anger had already entered Bibi Dong's voice.

Although Golden Crocodile Douluo disliked Bibi Dong, she was no longer as powerless as when she had first inherited the position of Pope.

Naturally, it would not do to make things too tense. He spoke coldly, "Pope, please speak."

"My newly accepted disciple has a staff-type martial soul, so I would like to ask the Sixth Enshrined and Seventh Enshrined to offer him some guidance. This is also for the sake of nurturing Spirit Hall's next generation!"

"The Worship Hall won't refuse this, will it?"

By now, Bibi Dong's voice had turned somewhat icy.

A black-robed middle-aged man seated at the far right sneered and muttered,

"Someone who has only just awakened, and he thinks he deserves Sixth Brother and me to teach him personally? She's really becoming more shameless with age."

With Bibi Dong's strength, she naturally heard those words. She said nothing more and merely stared intently at Golden Crocodile Douluo, seated to the left of the main seat.

Golden Crocodile Douluo knew that if he refused again, he would truly be slapping the Pope in the face.

He looked toward his sixth and seventh brothers.

The men had been brothers for decades, so the two naturally understood what their second brother meant.

"Fine, this old man has no objections. Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, make the trip."

The two rose to their feet at the same time. Their appearances were astonishingly similar.

Both were tall and burly, with sharp features. One wore black robes, while the other wore blue robes.

They answered in unison,

"Yes, Second Brother!" X2

These two were the Sixth and Seventh Enshrined of the Worship Hall.

The Sixth Enshrined, Thousand Jun Douluo.

The Seventh Enshrined, Demon Subduing Douluo.

Both possessed the Coiled Dragon Cudgel martial soul, and both had Soul Power at level ninety-six.

They were also blood brothers. It could be said that these two were currently the strongest staff-type Tool Martial Souls on the entire Douluo Continent.

Moreover, because they were brothers and possessed identical martial souls, they were even more formidable when fighting together.

Seeing that Golden Crocodile Douluo had agreed, Bibi Dong's expression eased.

"Then I'll trouble the two Enshrined Elders."

The moment Bibi Dong finished speaking, she turned and left. Yet in the instant she turned around, a cold smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

She had never intended to rely on the Worship Hall. She merely wanted to find Ye Xiaobao qualified teachers.

Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo bowed to Golden Crocodile Douluo and left the Worship Hall as well.

Though the two Enshrined Elders had agreed to this matter, they were rather disdainful inside. As top experts of the continent, they now had to teach some little brat.

Was he worthy?

On the road, Bibi Dong walked ahead while Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo followed far behind.

"Sixth Brother, what gives Bibi Dong the right to make us teach her disciple? Still, someone with innate full Soul Power barely qualifies to be my disciple. What do you think..."

Watching Demon Subduing Douluo chatter on endlessly, Thousand Jun Douluo was somewhat speechless!

"I'm telling you, if that kid's talent is lacking, we'll just halfheartedly deal with him and be done with it. No need to waste our time..."

Demon Subduing Douluo continued prattling away, and Thousand Jun Douluo could only quicken his pace. Right now, he only wanted to get farther away from his younger brother.

"Huh? Where'd he go?"

Before long.

Bibi Dong and the two men arrived at Ye Xiaobao's residence.

The residence had an enormous courtyard. On the eastern side stood a huge formation that surged with pale yellow Soul Power.

Ye Xiaobao was cultivating inside it, though for some reason, he was drenched in sweat.

Ye Dabao was discussing something with a gray-haired old man nearby.

Seeing Bibi Dong and the other two arrive, the gray-haired old man hurried forward and bowed.

"Welcome, Your Holiness the Pope, Sixth Enshrined, Seventh Enshrined."

He was Bibi Dong's confidant. His martial soul was the Iron Claw Wind Eagle, and he was a level eighty-six Soul Douluo.

He had now become Ye Xiaobao's protector and butler. Both Ye Xiaobao and Ye Dabao called him Dong Bo.

Ye Dabao merely stood there blankly, lowering his head and not daring to speak. Even when he occasionally raised his head for a glance, he immediately lowered it again.
