The Plan to Defeat Xiao Wu

Bi Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears after realizing what was happening.

She clutched Ling Yuan's collar, tears soaking the fabric of her clothes. "I want my dad... I want my dad back..."

Ling Yuan held her daughter tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her face from her closed eyes.

Her lips brushed against her daughter's ear, repeating over and over, "Daddy will come back... Daddy will definitely come back..."

At this moment, Qian Xunji knelt down on one knee and reached out to touch the back of Bi Xiaoxiao's head. "Xiao Xiao, your uncle promises you, your father will definitely come back."

"I'm not just trying to comfort you, I really will come back."

Bi Xiaoxiao lifted her head from Ling Yuan's embrace, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked at Qian Xunji, sobbing as she asked, "Uncle... really?"

"Really, I swear to you, Uncle."

Liu Xiulan stood on the steps, her hand still holding Bi Xiaoxiao's hand, but her expression was blank.

She didn't cry out loud, but turned around and buried her face in Bi Dashan's chest, her shoulders trembling.

Bi Dashan's hands froze in mid-air, his face as white as paper. "Really... really? Xiao Xi, he..."

Qian Daoliu forward and placed his hand on Bi Dashan's shoulder.

"My dear in-laws, trust my son. If he says he can save him, he definitely can."

Bi Dashan looked up at this Peak Douluo, suppressed his doubts, and nodded vigorously.

Qian Daoliu turned around and instructed the Falling Devil Douluo beside him, "Jiang Mo, take your in-laws to see Xiao Xi. Be careful on the way."

"Yes, Grand Pontiff."

The Falling Devil Douluo walked up to Liu Xiulan and Bi Dashan, "Let's go, you two."

Ling Yuan pressed the Soul Storage Bottle to her chest, took Bi Xiaoxiao's little hand, and followed the Falling Devil Douluo towards the location where the Ice Coffin was stored.

Inside the Pope Palace's main council chamber, people sat on both sides of the long table.

Qian Xunji sat in the main seat, with Qian Daoliu to his left.

On the right sat Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei... On the left were Azure Luan Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo.

Qian Xunji placed his hands flat on the table and got straight to the point. "Today's battle is over, but the real battle has just begun."

"Let me summarize the current situation so that everyone can hear me clearly."

He held up one finger. "First, the Heaven Dou Empire currently has at least four Peak Douluo."

"Tang Yin, level 99, dark attribute, was defeated by his father today but was rescued."

"Tang Xiao, also level 99, was hit by Xiao Xi's Deadly Poison Silk and then knocked away by Uncle Golden Crocodile. His current fate is unknown."

"Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong were both forcibly elevated to the Peak Douluo level. I've fought against them before, and their combined strength is extremely difficult to deal with."

"These four individuals represent the enemy's top combat strength as of now."

He raised his second finger. "Secondly, the Heaven Dou Empire's military action this time came without warning. Tens of thousands of troops assembled at the foot of Spirit City in a short period of time, and their marching speed far exceeded the norm."

"Both Pope Bibi Dong and I have witnessed that Black Mist before. Last time it swallowed up a village, and this time it surged directly to the Spirit City."

"The Black Mist can cover the army's advance, suppress Soul Power perception, and even instantly teleport key figures during a retreat."

"This method of transfer is the same as the one used when thousands of people from the Clear Sky Sect disappeared into thin air."

He held up his third finger. "Third, about the pills."

"The Balak Kingdom and the Siville Kingdom presented items in court today that the Heaven Dou and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had used to win them over."

He took the two porcelain bottles from the Angel Ring and placed them on the table. "I've analyzed them; the main components are dark energy and the Demon Puppet Flower."

"It can rapidly enhance one's strength after consumption, but the mind will be manipulated by the drug's creator."

"The reason why Xue Ye, Tang Xiao, Tang Yin, including Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, has experienced such a surge in strength is this."

"Sword Douluo told me personally on the battlefield today that they were acting against their will. Thousands of lives in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, including Ning Fengzhi's wife and daughters, are all in that woman's hands."

Fourth, regarding the woman in black.

"You all saw it today: after the Tang Family father and son were seriously injured, she directly teleported them away. I used my Spiritual Power to probe her strength on the battlefield, and I couldn't see through it at all."

Azure Luan Douluo said, "If even you can't see through her, then what level is she?"

"I think she is a god."

"God! Are you exaggerating?"

"I don't think it's an exaggeration." He paused, his gaze sweeping over every face on either side of the long table. "Her strength is at least at the God Level."

"But she didn't personally intervene today; she simply used the Black Rose to move the wounded and then ordered a retreat."

Why? There are two possibilities: either she hasn't fully recovered her divine power, or she feels it's not the right time for her to personally intervene.

"Either way, it's an opportunity for us."

Qian Daoliu said, "God, we can't do anything to God, not even with the Angelic Divine Power."

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Just then, Qian Xunji said quickly, "It's not like we're without a way to counter it."

"I possess a technique called 'Guanyin's Tears '."

Yue Guan asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what is the Guanyin's Tears?"

"This is a Hidden Weapon weapon technique. A single strike to a vital point can cause serious injury, even to those of higher levels. Even a god would have to think twice before attacking."

"That strong?"

"Yes, if she were a god, I wouldn't be confident I could kill her, but I'm confident I could severely injure her."

"However, this move requires time to build up, and using it once will consume most of your strength."

"Therefore, I need my father and Senior Golden Crocodile to follow up immediately after I make my move, and join forces to kill her while she is injured. We must not give her a chance to catch her breath."

The Mighty Lion Douluo slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly. "My niece almost died on the city wall today, and now her husband is dead too!"

"Whether it's Tang Xiao or Tang Yin, I don't care which one it is. If I run into him on the battlefield next time, I'll skin him alive!"

"Lion is offered."

Qian Xunji raised his hand to suppress the urge. "Xiao Xi is also my brother. This revenge is not only for you, but for me. The entire Spirit Hall must take revenge."

"But this is not the time to go it alone. Listen to my instructions."

"Your Flame Lion's frontal assault is extremely powerful. Once Guanyin with Guanyin's Tears makes her move, you and the Azure Luan, along with my father and the Golden Crocodile, will capture her."

The Mighty Lion Douluo grunted and gritted his teeth as he sat back down.

The Gui Mei asked, "Your Majesty, what about us?"

"You continue guarding the other city gates. Contact us directly via communicator if there are any problems."

"Elder Dugu, there are six Level 7 Soul Guidance Bomb now, right?"

Dugu Bo said, "Yes, six in total, including the experimental bombs."

Qian Xunji shook her head. "It's too little. If one side can't hold on, use it up."

"Yes."

Then, Qian Xunji scanned the entire room. "Has everyone understood their mission?"

Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Azure Luan nodded in unison.

Qian Daoliu slowly stood up. "Now that everyone understands, please prepare yourselves. Meeting adjourned."

Inside the Heaven Dou Commander's tent, the candlelight flickered precariously.

Tang Xiao lay on the camp bed in the center of the tent, his face ashen, his lips black, and black, poisonous blood oozing from the wound in his abdomen.

The Poison Soul Master was sweating profusely as he prepared the antidote, while the Healing Soul Master knelt before the bed, his hands hovering above the wound. The pale green healing light had been shining for a full half hour, but Tang Xiao's breathing was still gradually weakening.

Tang Yin pushed the Poison Soul Master aside, "Useless! You can't even concoct an antidote properly. Let me do it."

The Poison Soul Master quickly stepped aside, and then Tang Yin squatted down by the bed, poured out a pitch-black pill from the porcelain bottle, and stuffed it into Tang Xiao's mouth with trembling hands.

The pill melted in his mouth, but his complexion did not improve at all.

Tang Yin poured out another one, put it back in, poured out another one, and his hand was grabbed by the First Elder.
