The six Evil Soul Masters looked at Bibi Dong and the others, shock flashing across their faces. They immediately released their Martial Souls, all evil beast Martial Souls that reeked heavily of blood.
One glance was enough to tell they had fed on plenty of people. Three Soul Emperors between Level 64 and 67, two Soul Saints between Level 72 and 75, and the Evil Soul Master elder was a Soul Douluo with Level 88 Soul Power. Their configurations were mediocre, a little worse than the optimal setup.
"Spirit Hall! Two Titled Douluo! How could you possibly find this place?" the Evil Soul Master elder shouted in terror, losing his voice after seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Jian Dao Chenxin's nine Soul Rings, along with their auras.
"What do you think? Filthy little rats. You've been lurking around Spirit City for so long, and Spirit Hall finally found you," Bibi Dong said with a cold laugh.
"Did Blood Bat fail? Even if the assassination failed, he couldn't possibly have revealed our location. That's impossible." The Evil Soul Master elder began to panic, knowing he could not escape this disaster.
"Kill!" Bibi Dong said no more.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Gathering of Cold Essence." Chrysanthemum Douluo's fifth Soul Ring lit up, and the petals of his Martial Soul, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, condensed into blades.
"First: strength. Second: speed. Third: soul. Fourth: defense. Fifth: attack." Ning Fengzhi released his Soul Skills extremely quickly, almost instantly enhancing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Jian Dao Chenxin.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Quake the Four Directions." Jian Dao Chenxin also struck in an instant.
With the attacks of two Titled Douluo, boosted by the continent's number one support-type Martial Soul, five of the six Evil Soul Masters died instantly, while one was injured. The injured one was the Evil Soul Master elder, but he was also severely wounded.
"Talk. Where are the other Evil Soul Masters hiding?" Bibi Dong looked down imperiously at the Evil Soul Master elder already lying on the ground.
"Heh. I, Yas, admit defeat. But there are no other accomplices at all." The Evil Soul Master elder called himself Yas as his Soul Power circulated rapidly inside his body.
"You want to self-destruct right under our noses? You should take a look at your own strength first." Chrysanthemum Douluo was still maintaining the condensed blade state of Gathering of Cold Essence, and he immediately pierced through the Evil Soul Master elder's Dantian, cutting off the Evil Soul Master's thought of self-destruction.
"Pfft!" Elder Yas of the Evil Soul Masters was already at his last gasp, powerless to speak.
Bibi Dong used the same method to absorb the Evil Soul Master elder's memories, but found nothing. The most suspicious thing was that a masked person dressed entirely in black had once met the Evil Soul Master elder.
"The trail is broken. No other Evil Soul Masters were found. Yue Guan, destroy this place. We're going back," Bibi Dong ordered.
"What a pity. It would have been good if we could have uncovered more Evil Soul Masters," Ning Fengzhi said, also shaking his head.
The cave hall was circular and about a hundred square meters, with nine rooms extending from it. One room was filled with all kinds of colorful potions, and among them was a glass bottle containing black-gray gas. It was unmistakably the Evil Bat Poison the Evil Soul Master had mentioned.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and the three Judgment Hall members stayed behind until Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, and the others went out.
"Burn this cave hall," Chrysanthemum Douluo instructed, then also walked out.
"Yes, Elder. Sixth Soul Skill, Magma Fire Sea." One of the Judgment Hall members released a sea of flames, then followed Chrysanthemum Douluo out. Before long, it had spread through the entire cave hall and continued spreading toward the passage.
"Yue Guan, block the cave as well, then call Gui Mei back," Bibi Dong ordered, then led the way away.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Golden Stamen Spreads Rosy Clouds." Chrysanthemum Douluo struck the top of the cave entrance, causing it to collapse and block the opening.
Afterward, he hurried to call Ghost Douluo, and quickly caught up with Bibi Dong and the others.
"Ghost Elder, did you find anything unusual behind the mountain range?" Bibi Dong asked indifferently.
"Reporting to Your Majesty the Pope, there was nothing unusual. Everything was normal. I checked it all thoroughly, and there were no caves or the like," Ghost Douluo reported to Bibi Dong.
"Mm. Sect Master Ning, will you return to Spirit City with us?" Bibi Dong turned and asked Ning Fengzhi.
"No need for that. The two of us have also been out for two days. It's time for us to return to the sect," Ning Fengzhi said with a faint smile.
"Sect Master Ning's daughter should also be five years old now, yes? I hope your daughter can inherit Sect Master Ning's Martial Soul, and one of higher quality," Bibi Dong said in congratulations.
"May Your Majesty the Pope's auspicious words come true. I hope so. That daughter of mine is terribly mischievous and willful. I'm rather envious of Your Majesty the Pope's disciple, the Spirit Hall Holy Son," Ning Fengzhi said helplessly, shaking his head.
"She's a child. It's normal to be mischievous, willful, and troublesome. That disciple of mine is a little too steady. He doesn't even give me a chance to teach him a lesson, which makes me, his teacher, rather helpless." Bibi Dong also smiled knowingly.
"Your Majesty the Pope, how could that be? I actually hope my daughter can develop a temperament like the Holy Son's. Let's not talk about that. Your Majesty the Pope, Sword Uncle and I will take our leave first," Ning Fengzhi said, bidding farewell.
"Very well. Yue Guan, see the two guests off," Bibi Dong said indifferently.
"Your Majesty the Pope, there's no need to trouble Chrysanthemum Elder. We'll take our leave first," Ning Fengzhi said, then left in another direction with Jian Dao Chenxin.
"Your Majesty! Jian Dao Chenxin is very strong!" Chrysanthemum Douluo had attacked together with him in the cave, and he had lagged behind Jian Dao Chenxin by quite a bit.
"Mm. A Level 96 Super Douluo, combined with Ning Fengzhi's support, can probably display the power of a Level 97 Peerless Douluo," Bibi Dong said softly as she looked in the direction Ning Fengzhi and Jian Dao Chenxin had left.
"However, Sword Douluo's strength should be at its peak. In this life, he can at most rise to Level 97. After all, Sword Douluo is already very old and doesn't have much potential left. Let's go. We'll head back first." After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she headed toward Spirit City.
"Sword Uncle, what do you think of Bibi Dong's strength?" After Ning Fengzhi and Jian Dao Chenxin had gone far away, Ning Fengzhi quickly asked.
"Very strong. Today, when the Holy Son was ambushed in the west city, the strength Bibi Dong erupted with was no weaker than Level 97. At present, she is likely a Level 97 Peerless Douluo," Jian Dao Chenxin said gravely.
"That strong? I thought she was at most around Level 92 or 93. You have to know Bibi Dong seems to be only in her forties now. If she already has Level 97 Soul Power, becoming a Level 99 Limit Douluo is only a matter of time. Bibi Dong's talent is that terrifying," Ning Fengzhi said with a solemn expression.
"Mm. I estimate Bibi Dong may have a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. I don't know her exact strength, but I'm afraid it won't be lower than Level 97." Jian Dao Chenxin was worthy of being skilled in attack; his observation and acuity toward the strong were excellent.
"Sigh. We can only hope Bibi Dong doesn't have any ideas," Ning Fengzhi sighed, then stopped speaking.
Bibi Dong and the others returned to the west city of Spirit City. When they got back to West Hall, Hu Liena was supervising Duanyu Fan as he recovered his Soul Power. He had also changed into a brand-new set of clothes. His previous clothes had been stained red by his own blood.
"Nana, Xiao Fan, how is he? Is he all right?" Bibi Dong saw the two of them in West Hall's courtyard.
"Teacher! I'm already fine. After resting for one more night, I'll be able to continue treating the villagers tomorrow." Duanyu Fan was already the same as usual, with no trace of weakness.
"That's good. I can rest assured." Bibi Dong smiled faintly.
"Teacher, how did things go for you? Did you find the Evil Soul Masters' lair?" Hu Liena asked.
"Mm. It went very smoothly. We found six Evil Soul Masters and have already killed them all. Unfortunately, we couldn't track down the remaining Evil Soul Masters."
"And Nana, you should return to the Academy. Work hard and don't slack off in your Soul Power cultivation," Bibi Dong continued to Hu Liena.
"Okay, Teacher. Then I'll go back to the Academy first." Hu Liena did not dare disobey Bibi Dong.
After this incident, Duanyu Fan returned to his daily work.
He had to speed things up by two steps.
