The Operation Begins
The door to the Secret Chamber slowly closed, silencing all the screams and wails inside.
What happened inside is probably only known to those involved and the other Soul Master imprisoned inside by Bibi Dong, who will never be able to get out.
All Falcon Douluo knew was that when he saw Yu Xiaogang again several months later, he no longer had that arrogant and unruly demeanor.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang, who was well-behaved and neatly dressed but squatting next to Bibi Dong like a Chow Chow, Falcon Douluo felt a chill run down his spine.
What did His Majesty do to him to turn him into this? The way he looks like he's been completely ruined is truly chilling.
"Fierce Eagle, you've ruined my mood. If it weren't for something important, you know the consequences."
"Your subordinate dares not. The Grand Elder sent word that there is progress on that matter."
"Oh, I didn't expect it to be so soon. You can go now."
"Yes."
Watching Bibi Dong disappear into the main hall and Yu Xiaogang still obediently squatting in place, Falcon Douluo retreated as if he hadn't seen anything, slowly closing the heavy door behind him.
He was just an ordinary Soul Master. He didn't know what the Grand Elder was talking about, nor did he care. The less he knew, the better he could save his life.
The vanished Bibi Dong stormed directly into the Angel Temple, her evil aura suppressing the holy light emitted by the Angel Statue.
Qian Daoliu looked at the increasingly sinister woman with neither joy nor sorrow, forcefully suppressing his urge to draw his sword.
With enemies all around us, the Spirit Hall Empire absolutely cannot afford any internal strife; it's not time to completely turn against Bibi Dong yet.
"Qian Daoliu, I didn't come here to watch you worship the Angel God. Speak quickly if you have something to say."
"News has come from the Star Crown Sect that Bo Saixi has personally taken Tang San out to sea."
"Really? That's great news. But I'll be bringing someone along on this mission."
"What ever."
Qian Daoliu had a rough idea of who she was going to bring along, but that was none of his business; as long as things went smoothly, that was all that mattered.
Moreover, if she really brings that person over, she'll be creating a constraint for herself. If things really turn sour, she'll just have an extra burden.
The high-ranking officials of the Spirit Hall Empire began to take action. After arranging the important affairs of the empire, Qian Daoliu took Bibi Dong and Golden Crocodile Douluo to the Star Crown Sect.
Before that, he summoned the Mighty Lion Douluo, gave him a token and several bottles of pills, and assigned him an important task.
After that, the astute Falcon Douluo discovered that not only were the Grand Elder and His Majesty missing, but even the Qian Jun Jiang Mo Douluo, who had been guarding the palace for many years, had disappeared without a trace.
Sensing that something big was about to happen, he didn't make a fuss. Instead, he secretly packed his things and told his family to stay home and not go out, so they could be prepared to escape from the Spirit Empire City at any time.
These insignificant people have no way to participate in the schemes of those big shots; all they can do is try their best to protect themselves and their families.
The Spirit Hall Empire was mobilized because of Tang San's voyage, and the Star Crown Sect, as the initiator of the hunt, was no exception.
Xu Mingxi had long ago handed over the few remaining affairs of the Star Luo Empire to Xu Mingjie and White Tiger Duke.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he also stationed Xu Mingxing and Xu Mingwei, both with titles, within the palace, so that they could leave immediately with Xu Mingjie should anything happen.
Only then did he feel relieved enough to return to the Star Crown Sect and summon all the Titled Douluo still in the sect. This would be the sect's most expensive and riskiest operation yet.
Looking at the several Titled Douluo lined up on both sides, Xu Mingxi felt a surge of pride.
When a sect becomes powerful, its disciples will have access to more and better resources, enabling them to grow and contribute back to the sect.
The Star Crown Sect has grown from having only two Titled Douluo to its current state, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has played a crucial role in this transformation.
It's a pity that when Dugu Bo went there again, he found that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was already surrounded by plant Soul Beast, so he didn't go any deeper just in case.
After he reported this news to the Star Crown Sect, Xu Mingxi didn't pay much attention to it. Everything useful to the Star Crown Sect there had already been taken, and they couldn't use what was left for the time being.
"You are all pillars of our Star Crown Sect, and I believe you all understand the importance of this operation to us."
During the operation, all disciples except those in charge of the Star God Hall retreated back to Starfall Mountain to prevent any unforeseen events.
Second Elder, you must pay close attention to the movements of the Zhao and Qian Families outside, and activate our Star Crown Sect's backup plan if necessary.
"Yes."
Having been passed down for thousands of years, the Star Crown Sect naturally possesses its own protective formation, which can combine the power of all Star Crown Martial Soul Master to resist enemy attacks.
The two plant-type Soul Beast on the Back Mountain, with nearly 200,000 years of cultivation, have enjoyed the Star Crown Sect's offerings for so long; it's time for them to contribute.
Next, Xu Mingxi focused his attention on the three candidates who would participate in this Soul Hunting Operation. They were all the Super Douluo that the Star Crown Sect could still offer.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, who broke through to level Level 97 Titled Douluo thanks to Immortal Herbs Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and also benefited from the boost from his Martial Soul Fusion Skill, successfully reached...
Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, a level Level 96 Titled Douluo.
There is also Xu Fangxing, Xu Mingguang's father, the first person of the Fang generation in the Star Crown Sect, who has finally broken through to the Super Douluo level.
With the Sect Master and Xu Mingguang already at sea, the Star Crown Sect has unleashed an unprecedentedly powerful force this time.
Five people have reached the combat power of Super Douluo, and even the weakest one, Xu Mingguang, has extremely special illusion abilities.
"I'll leave this hunting operation to you all. Senior Yue Guan, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong will also be going this time, so you need to keep a low profile."
"With me here, you two can rest assured; those two wouldn't dare to turn against us."
"Then thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Yue Guan has been here for so long and is very satisfied with her current life, especially with the Fourth Elder who manages the herb garden; the two seem to have endless things to talk about.
The Medicine Pestling Rabbit became their most treasured little creature, and it became increasingly unruly in the sect, with no one able to control it.
Compared to his previous life in the Spirit Hall, where he was looked down upon by the Elder Hall and served Bibi Dong with trepidation, his life now is much better.
If he could, he would even like to grow old with Lao Gui in this landscape and be buried on a hillside covered with flowers.
Seeing that Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo readily agreed to the matter, Xu Mingxi felt relieved.
He absolutely had to bring these two along; otherwise, leaving two Super Douluo to join the sect halfway through would still be somewhat risky.
