Dual Sea Agreement, Turmoil at the Main Hall

"My lord, you are unaware of the truth!"

The stall owner quickly answered Su He's question.

"Just a few days ago, two Titled Douluo from Sea God Island came to Vast Sea City and signed Dual Sea Agreement with the city lord. The agreement stipulates that Sea God Island will provide Vast Sea City with precious and beautiful items such as jewels from there, while Vast Sea City will provide Sea God Island with daily necessities of equal value. Lord Soul Master, you are extremely capable, and I would never dare to lie."

Upon hearing this, Su He frowned.

The arrival of two Titled Douluo from Sea God Island in Vast Sea City was no secret within the Spirit Hall. However, what puzzled Su He was why the Spirit Main Hall Master of Vast Sea City had not reported any information about the signing of the Dual Sea Agreement, a type of trade transaction.

It's important to understand that although Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi have that peculiar relationship, the overall relationship between the Spirit Hall and Sea God Island isn't so pleasant; otherwise, there wouldn't have been that great battle so many years ago.

These two forces do not have any deep-seated hatred; the reason for their conflict is purely due to the struggle for the power of faith.

Finally, the two major forces each claimed territory: the Spirit Hall collected the faith power of the people of the continent for the Angel God, while Sea God Island collected the faith power of its islanders and Sea Soul Beast.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall would never back down in the struggle for the power of faith, so how could it allow Sea God Island to infiltrate a large city like Vast Sea City so easily?

It's important to know that Vast Sea City was once a stronghold of the Spirit Hall's army during the great war between the Spirit Hall and Sea God Island, and the level of faith in the Spirit Hall is quite high. However, today, Su He walked down the streets of Vast Sea City and saw Sea God Island's products every few hundred meters. This is... not a good thing for the Spirit Hall.

"Has the Bishop of the Spirit Main Hall in Vast Sea City agreed to this?"

Qian Renxue also keenly sensed that something was amiss; with her exceptionally sharp political instincts, she detected a hint of conspiracy.

"Miss..."

The stall owner's gaze swept over Qian Renxue, then he looked around and, seeing that there was no one else there besides Su He and her group, slowly covered his mouth and lowered his voice to speak.

"I've heard that Bishop Salas Seth's daughter's fiancé was recently engaged to the grandson of a Titled Douluo from Sea God Island..."

"Just half a month ago, that Soul Power event was held at sea, using the largest passenger ship in Vast Sea City. We were all treated to a real feast for the eyes!"

"... a traitor who eats one's own flesh and blood."

Su He narrowed her eyes, her anger burning fiercely within her.

No wonder, after the two Titled Douluo from Sea God Island Vast Sea City, no further news came out from the Spirit Main Hall of Vast Sea City. It turns out they've already become in-laws!

Bishop Salas, you're truly remarkable! As a cardinal bishop of the Spirit Hall, serving in a prosperous place like Vast Sea City, his treatment is far better than that of Red Cardinal in Spirit City. Yet, while enjoying the benefits and status of Red Cardinal from the Spirit Hall, he also betrays Sea God Island, taking advantage of both sides.

Such a person of questionable character should be eliminated!

In Su He's eyes, disloyalty was a far more serious sin than incompetence.

If a person's problem is merely incompetence, and there are no major mistakes, the worst that can happen is that this person is removed from an important position and replaced with a more capable person.

In such cases, the Spirit Hall would often thoughtfully arrange a sinecure for the dismissed person, allowing them to spend their later years in peace, which could be considered as providing sufficient welfare guarantees.

But those who are disloyal have crossed a line...

"Xiao He, you two should handle this matter."

Just as the two were pondering how to solve the problem, Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice rang out behind them.

"The Great Enshrined instructed us old folks that you can't just have strength without substance..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo gave the two of them a meaningful look, and Su He and Qian Renxue immediately understood his meaning.

Even if Bibi Dong was Mind Arts in the Papal Seat, her political achievements were undeniable. The two of them naturally understood that governing a power was not solely based on strength.

"Let's go visit our dear Bishop Salas."

Su He sneered, looked at Qian Renxue whose expression was equally cold, and said.

"Hmph, it's really not bad."

Qian Renxue scoffed.

"Our daughter is marrying someone from Sea God Island. How could we, the members of the Spirit Hall, be absent from such a momentous occasion?"

A short while later, at the Spirit Main Hall of Vast Sea City.

The appearance of this Spirit Main Hall is very special. It is not a typical hall, but incorporates some marine elements.

The building is shaped like an open seashell, with a huge, crystal-clear pearl in the center. Inside the pearl is the office and rest area for the Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master of the Spirit Main Hall.

It must be said that this design is truly ingenious, combining the colors of the Spirit Main Hall with the ocean without appearing exaggerated. Instead, it evokes a sense of pleasing beauty at first glance. Indeed, the architects of the Spirit Hall have never disappointed.

Su He and Qian Renxue arrived at the entrance of the main hall and showed the guards the tokens from the Worship Hall. The guards from the Spirit Hall at the entrance immediately spoke respectfully.

"Your Highnesses, the Palace Master has been waiting for quite some time! Let me lead you inside."

Su He and Qian Renxue nodded expressionlessly.

Putting everything else aside, these guards should have known the inside story, but they chose not to report it.

Although the crime does not warrant death, those who should be removed should still be removed after a thorough investigation, and Su He will not be tolerated for his punishment.

Only by being united internally can we ensure that we don't lose to external forces. At present, it seems that the Spirit Hall still has a long way to go to achieve this goal.

The two followed the guard into the crystal pearl. Unlike the pearl that was all gold and jade on the outside but rotten inside, the pearl's interior was also extremely beautiful.

The blue sea crystals I saw at the stalls I passed earlier are the main material used to pave the floor. The surrounding walls are also decorated with beautiful Abyssal Sea Crystal, which have a crystal-clear beauty under the light.

The Hall Master's Chamber's door was made of precious Golden Silk Nanmu, as was the door frame. Su He frowned when she saw it. She knew that even Salas's office area in the Spirit Hall Sanctuary of Heaven Dou City only used mahogany door frames. Golden Silk Nanmu was something that only wealthy nobles and royalty would touch.

Thinking of this, Su He narrowed her eyes, her expression turning very unfriendly.
