The Dagger Revealed at the End of the Map

There was a brief silence before Salas broke the awkward atmosphere.

He introduced the white-robed elder sitting beside him to Ling Yi and the other man, saying, "Come, Ling Yi, Mr. Dugu, let me introduce you two."

"This is Lord Sa Fan Desa, one of the four Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall and the Temple Master of the Heaven Dou Martial Soul Temple."

Although Ling Yi had seen Sa Fan Desa Sa Fan Desa's face in a crowd three months ago when he was out, he still showed surprise and delight at meeting him for the first time.

"It's actually the esteemed Platinum Bishop! Ling Yi greets you!"

As he spoke, he bowed slightly once more to express his respect for the high-ranking and powerful Platinum Bishop.

To become Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, one of the prerequisites is to possess the strength of Soul Douluo!

Therefore, even without considering the other party's identity, just based on this strength alone, Ling Yi's respect was absolutely sincere from the bottom of his heart.

Similarly, Dugu Bo, who had just become Soul Saint, naturally wouldn't have any arrogant or haughty thoughts when facing a Soul Douluo. Like Ling Yi, he also bowed slightly. "Dugu Bo, Martial Soul ' Jade Phosphorous Serpent,' Level 71 Control System Battle Soul Saint, greets you."

Facing Ling Yi and Dugu Bo's greetings, Sa Fan Desa did not act arrogantly. With a friendly smile on his face, he gently raised his palm and said in a gentle voice, "No need for formalities. To see two such young Soul Ancestor and Soul Saint means that the Soul Master World of the Douluo Continent is becoming more and more prosperous, and the strength of us humans will become stronger and stronger. This is really good."

Wow... such a grand vision?

Dugu Bo had just straightened up when he heard Sa Fan Desa's words and was immediately stunned.

Just then, Ling Yi's humble voice rang out. "Your Excellency, Ling Yi. I am ashamed."

"Compared to the contributions the Spirit Hall has made to the Soul Master World and to the Douluo Continent, what is a mere Ling Yi?"

Looking into Ling Yi's clear eyes, a strange glint flashed in Sa Fan Desa's eyes, and he immediately laughed:

"Haha, good, young man, you're really great! So humble and composed, that's a truly admirable quality!"

Ling Yi returned the smile and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your recognition, Ling Yi Excellency. I still have much to learn..."

Watching the two exchange words, the three people beside them, apart from Salas Dugu Bo looked thoughtful, could only watch silently with Yao Qi eyes wide open.

After a few more rounds, Sa Fan Desa and Ling Yi stopped at the same time, looked at each other and smiled.

Ling Yi: "Old fox!"

Sa Fan Desa: "Little fox!"

Both of them made similar assessments of each other in their hearts, but that didn't stop them from having warm and friendly smiles on their faces.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Sa Fan Desa reluctantly changed the subject, gesturing to Yao Qi, who was blinking beside him, and said to Ling Yi Ling Yi, "The reason I invited you here today, young friend, is to inform you that the spread of ' Blue Silver Rice ' has attracted the attention of His Holiness the Pope. Bishop Yao Qi came here from ' Spirit City ' to confirm once again with you whether you truly intend to entrust ' Blue Silver Rice ' to my [Spirit Hall] for its dissemination and promotion throughout the entire Douluo Continent?"

"Your Excellency, Bishop,"

Seeing that the conversation was on track, Ling Yi's face immediately turned serious, and he nodded solemnly, saying, "Aside from the fact that the 'Blue Silver Rice' has already been fully promoted in the [Water Wood Duchy], and the promise I made to His Highness the Third Prince to hand over the ' Blue Silver Rice ' within the territory of the two northern provinces of the [Heaven Dou Empire] for dissemination, Ling Yi guarantee that all other places on the entire Douluo Continent will be fully managed by the [Spirit Hall], and I will absolutely not go back on my word!"

Hearing Ling Yi's resounding assurance, Sa Fan Desa nodded and suddenly asked, "Young friend Ling Yi, I wonder if we could discuss with the Third Prince the possibility of entrusting the dissemination of ' Blue Silver Rice ' from the two northern provinces of the Heaven Dou Empire to our Spirit Hall?"

Seemingly not expecting Sa Fan Desa to ask such a question, apart from the completely clueless Dugu Bo, Salas and Yao Qi next to him were both stunned, their faces showing surprise.

Ling Yi also showed the same surprise as Salas, with a hint of astonishment.

But then, Ling Yi shook his head firmly and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Ling Yi cannot agree to this."

"Ling Yi has already made an agreement with the Third Prince that unless the Third Prince voluntarily relinquishes the broadcasting rights for the two major provinces in the northern border of the Empire, Ling Yi will certainly not go back on his word!"

With Ling Yi's decisive refusal, the large room fell into absolute silence for a moment.

Just as Dugu Bo was secretly mobilizing his Soul Power, wondering if he should take a gamble, he saw that Sa Fan Desa, who had just been expressionless, suddenly chuckle and resume his previous amiable demeanor.

"It's alright, I was just asking casually. When I go to the palace to catch up with His Majesty Xue Rong, I'll talk to Xue Ye about it."

Ling Yi bowed slightly. "Thank you for your understanding, Commander."

Seeing this, not only did Dugu Bo's anxiety ease slightly, but even Yao Qi, who had been watching from the sidelines, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking to himself that the Platinum Bishop was just stirring up trouble, Yao Qi quickly stepped forward and changed the subject:

"Ling Yi, His Holiness the Pope instructed me that if you have any needs, you can make them. As long as they are not too excessive, the Spirit Hall can basically meet your needs."

"Hmm?" Ling Yi turned his attention to Yao Qi's words, a perfectly timed look of surprise on his face. He turned to Salas, who had been watching silently, and said, "But I already requested to borrow the library of the Heaven Dou Martial Soul Temple, and Bishop Salas agreed—"

The implication is that the Spirit Hall has already met my previous needs, so how could I possibly make any new requests?

I, Ling Yi, also pay attention to table manners.

Salas broke his silence and, mimicking his teacher Sa Fan Desa's friendly smile, said, "Young Brother Ling Yi, the promise to borrow the library from you will remain valid indefinitely."

He paused, then continued, "As for the His Holiness the Pope decree brought by Bishop Yao Qi, Brother Ling Yi, there's no need to worry. It's His Holiness the Pope's high regard and reward for you!"

Beside him, Yao Qi nodded subconsciously, and a look of relief flashed in Sa Fan Desa's eyes.

Ling Yi took in the expressions of everyone in the room, seeing them clearly, but he remained completely oblivious on the surface. He simply put on an excited and grateful expression, expressing his admiration and longing for His Holiness the Pope.

In the end, Ling Yi did not make any excessive demands. He simply requested that, based on the previous requests, he be able to borrow some non-confidential books from the library tower of ' Spirit City ' in the future.

Of course, it would be best if we could review the data on the Spirit Hall 'Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony held in various parts of the Douluo Continent over the years.

Still writing, the next chapter should be before midnight.
