Making Their Stance Clear
Such a young Platinum Bishop is unprecedented in the history of the Spirit Hall.
Therefore, when Chen Ping expressed his desire to recruit a small team to carry out a mission, many Soul Saint level experts took the initiative to approach him.
The Platinum Bishop is a powerful regional official with a high degree of autonomy. If he can accompany Chen Ping to take up a post in the future, the benefits these Soul Saint experts can obtain will be far greater than in Spirit City.
If Chen Ping is promoted to Elder in the future, they will become the Elder's direct Subordinate, a status that cannot be obtained even with a large sum of money.
For this mission, Chen Ping does not plan to use any Soul Master below the Soul Saint.
The Dragon Serpent Family has been established for a long time and has considerable resources. Sending out Soul Master of slightly lower levels would undoubtedly only increase casualties.
Currently, his team already has fifteen Soul Saint experts. If he can get two Titled Douluo to help, he can ensure the mission goes smoothly and there won't even be any casualties.
In the Elder Hall.
As for Chen Ping, the Platinum Bishop, he was naturally not qualified to enter.
He approached the guards at the gate, explained his purpose, and the guards went into the hall to inform them.
During the wait, Chen Ping was extremely anxious.
Elder Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear were supporters of Wu Qi Wu Qi important partners of him. Although he was inseparable from Wu Qi, there was still a layer of relationship between him and the two Elder.
The other party will definitely give Wu Qi face, but may not give him face.
After a tense wait of a few minutes, the doors of the Elder Hall slowly opened, and Elder Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard emerged.
Upon seeing Chen Ping, Nether Leopard Douluo took the initiative to step forward and greet him.
"Bishop Chen, congratulations on becoming the youngest Platinum Bishop in the history of the Temple. We both look forward to the day when we can work with you in the Elder Hall."
Chen Ping smiled and nodded, feeling flattered by their enthusiasm.
In fact, the two Elder were not Wu Qi's supporters at first.
When Wu Qi went to the Slaughter City training, he met Nether Leopard Douluo. At first, the two could only be said to have hit it off, and Nether Leopard Douluo was not yet willing to support him.
As Wu Qi completed his trials in the Slaughter City, the Lost Land, and even the Poisonous Land, Nether Leopard Douluo knew that his Talent was unstoppable and that he would surely become a powerful figure like Great Enshriner in the future.
Coincidentally, during this period, rumors spread from the Worship Hall that Qian Daoliu intended to support Wu Qi to become the next Pope. From then on, Nether Leopard Douluo became a loyal supporter of Wu Qi.
Previously, when Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong went to the Papal Hall, he risked offending Bibi Dong to step in and help them out of the predicament.
As for Demon Bear Douluo, he and Nether Leopard Douluo were childhood friends who grew up together. Faced with the latter's persuasion and his own judgment, he also decided to support Wu Qi.
Upon hearing Chen Ping explain his background, the two men didn't say much and immediately agreed.
Wu Qi's Talent was indeed formidable, but not enough to inspire fear. Chen Ping, on the other hand, was originally just a student with some Talent at the Spirit Hall Academy, but in the ten years he followed Wu Qi, his strength underwent a dramatic transformation, demonstrating Wu Qi's capabilities.
If they could enter Wu Qi's Core Circle, the strength of Elder Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear would likely improve rapidly.
Helping Chen Ping complete his mission was primarily a way of demonstrating their stance to Wu Qi.
With the personnel finalized, Chen Ping immediately pulled the team aside for a brief mission meeting.
Suotuo City.
Tang San was completely unaware that his whereabouts had been exposed, and that Chen Ping had even secretly devised a plan against him.
The Dragon Serpent Family had been packing their gear for the past few days, while Tang San was buying supplies in the city for the Dragon Serpent Family to use on the road.
There are indeed spies around the Dragon Serpent Family, but they only observe the Dragon Serpent Family's movements and do not try to find out what they do inside the clan.
However, these informants are ultimately a troublesome matter. If the Dragon Serpent Family are detected by these informants when they leave, they will probably face a joint attack from several major sects on their way.
Tang San's Talent is indeed remarkable, but he is currently only Soul Douluo. If the Six Great Sects are determined not to allow the Dragon Serpent Family to join the Tang Sect, a conflict between the two sides is inevitable.
Tang San is no match for the Six Great Sects in terms of strength now. If he were to combine the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Peerless Dragon Serpent Couple, he might be able to break through, but the disciples of the Dragon Serpent Family would suffer heavy losses.
These family disciples are the source of Meng Shu's confidence. If they lose their disciples, can they, as a couple, receive the treatment promised by Tang San simply by joining the Tang Sect?
Therefore, in the following days, Meng Shu not only packed his bags but also observed the situation within the city.
The Dragon Serpent Family has a Secret Tunnel passage leading to the outside of the city, but they cannot guarantee that there are no spies outside the city.
The migration of over a hundred people is quite large, and it would be very difficult to go unnoticed.
Since the Dragon Serpent Family couldn't operate on a large scale, the task of checking for spies near the exit of the Secret Tunnel fell to Tang San and Tailong.
Meanwhile, at the Barak City Spirit Hall.
Barak City is the largest city in the Balak Kingdom, and its Spirit Hall is of a very high level, with the Hall Master being Red-Clothed Cardinal who possesses the cultivation of Soul Saint.
It's important to know that the Balak Kingdom is actually under the control of the Spirit Hall. When Bibi Dong withdrew the Spirit Hall's experts from outside the kingdom, she did not evacuate the people here.
"Your Bishop Lord, these days, Tang San..."
The Hall Master informed Qiangu Changkong of all the information he had recently gathered.
Elder Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear only cooperated with the operation; they were not in command of the operation and did not participate in tactical decisions.
Of course, their goal in doing this was to avoid overshadowing Chen Ping and leaving a bad impression.
For Chen Ping, this was his first time leading a mission, and it was against the Dragon Serpent Family, which possessed Soul Douluo, making it exceptionally difficult.
He had indeed served as the Vice-Captain of Wang Tian Squad before, but at that time he had no authority, and all transfers were arranged by Wang Tian.
Leading the team on this important mission, I can't help but feel a little nervous.
But he knew that if he couldn't overcome his nervousness and complete the task, his future prospects would be pretty much set in stone.
Even among the Elder of the Spirit Hall, not everyone has their own opinions. And those powerful individuals who lack organizational skills can only become lifelong henchmen of the Spirit Hall.
Although the Hall Master did not delve into the Dragon Serpent Family to investigate the conversation between Tang San and the Peerless Dragon Serpent Couple.
However, Tang San's appearance in Barak City at this time is already quite telling, and coupled with the information passed on by his informant, the outline of the matter is already clear.
"Your Bishop Lord, please look at the map."
Knowing that Chen Ping lacked experience, the Hall Master drew all his insights on the map.
By referring to the map, suitable ambush locations could be easily found. With the Hall Master's advice, the specific action plan for this mission had already emerged in Chen Ping's mind.
