Supporting a Few Minor Sects, Bibi Dong's Ambition is Fully Exposed

Bibi Dong knew very well that Lin Tian's absorption of the thirty-thousand-year soul beast, the [Nether Ghost Blade Mantis], beyond his level would place an enormous burden on both his body and mind.

For him now, the most important thing was to get some proper rest.

As for capturing Yu Xiaogang, there was no need to rush. After all, Spirit Hall's branch halls everywhere had already begun taking action. Finding his whereabouts was only a matter of time!

There was no need to waste too much energy or time on a man who was about to die. The day they caught him would be the day he was destined to die a miserable death.

After hearing the arrangements made by his Pope mother, Lin Tian left her side somewhat reluctantly.

Though he was exhausted, simply staying before such a peerlessly elegant married woman made both his body and mind feel exceptionally comfortable.

What was more, with the system's abilities enhancing him, his physical constitution had long since improved greatly compared to before.

The fatigue brought by absorbing the thirty-thousand-year soul beast, the [Nether Ghost Blade Mantis], could be completely dispelled after he sat cross-legged in meditation for a short while.

Just as Bibi Dong was preparing to head to the Pope's Hall, she seemed to notice Lin Tian's reluctance to part. She then bent down and murmured softly by his ear:

"Lin Tian, be good. Go back to your bedchamber and rest for now. Once I've finished handling my official duties, I'll go find you in the side hall!"

"Don't worry. Mother will never go back on the reward she promised you!"

As the stunning Pope said this, a faint blush could not help appearing on her cheeks.

This little rascal really had plenty of energy!

"In that case, I'll go back to my bedchamber and rest first. I hope Your Holiness the Pope can handle your official duties a little faster."

Hearing Lin Tian's words lingering by her ear, Bibi Dong's cheeks flushed crimson. Her graceful, alluring body also began to tremble slightly at his words.

It seemed this fellow had no intention of letting her off easy tonight.

What a little bastard!

"Go back first. I'll be faster... faster."

To assert her authority as the Pope, Bibi Dong forced herself to remain composed despite her crimson face, signaling Lin Tian to return to his bedchamber first.

Naturally, her little thoughts could not escape Lin Tian's notice.

However, thinking of what was to come later, Lin Tian said nothing more and turned to return to his side hall bedchamber.

In order to be in better condition for cultivation tonight, Lin Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, gathering his Soul Power and meditating with his divine consciousness.

Once his entire body and mind relaxed, faint traces of spiritual energy from heaven and earth began continuously gathering within his limbs and bones.

After only a short while, Lin Tian's somewhat weary body became vigorous and full of vitality once more.

Outside the bedchamber window, the sun moved westward, and bright moonlight shone into the hall.

Lin Tian could not help looking forward to what reward his Pope mother would give him tonight.

A trace of anticipation arose in his heart.

Inside the Pope's Hall, the leaders from the various branch halls and the bishops all exchanged baffled looks.

None of them knew why His Holiness the Pope had summoned them here. Could there be new instructions?

Very soon, Bibi Dong, now dressed in a purple hollowed-out gauze dress, emerged from the Inner Hall with a grave expression on her face.

Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo followed respectfully behind her, ready at any moment to heed His Holiness the Pope's orders.

"Everyone, I have summoned you here today to announce an important matter. My son Lin Tian possesses the potential to become a Titled Douluo. I intend to let him travel throughout Douluo Continent, and when the time comes, I will need everyone to lend him support."

After Bibi Dong finished speaking, her gaze swept over everyone present.

Then, amid the crowd's doubtful looks, she continued, "Douluo Continent is currently in turmoil. Various powers are making secret arrangements, intending to act against Spirit Hall. For the sake of Spirit Hall's overall interests, I have decided to secretly support several sects in case of future need. What do you all think?"

At these words, everyone in the Pope's Hall began discussing among themselves.

Everyone was curious—which sects did His Holiness the Pope intend to support?

"Tuoba Xi, the sect master of the Holy Dragon Sect, has always maintained good relations with Spirit Hall. His sect's martial soul, the [White Armored Earth Dragon], specializes in defense and would be of great benefit to Spirit Hall's development! The Wind Sword Sect and the Black Tiger Sect both seek friendly relations with Spirit Hall, and they are also among those I intend to support. Do any of you have objections?"

After Bibi Dong finished speaking, the Pope's Hall fell briefly silent before Spirit Kite Douluo was the first to speak:

"Your Holiness the Pope, this subordinate agrees with your decision!"

Immediately afterward, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and the others all voiced their agreement.

Only one Platinum Bishop with white hair and beard raised a differing opinion at this moment.

"Your Holiness the Pope, please forgive my impertinence. I do not hold these sects in such high regard! The Holy Dragon Sect has always thought highly of itself, while its sect master, Tuoba Xi, is a lecherous man with erratic behavior and little popularity! The Wind Sword Sect and Black Tiger Sect are both weak sects. If we allow them to rely on Spirit Hall, they will likely do nothing but consume our resources without providing us any help!"

"Your Holiness the Pope, this subordinate believes that we should foster a fresh force belonging exclusively to Spirit Hall! We should pour all of Spirit Hall's resources into them!"

After the Platinum Bishop finished speaking, he bowed and stepped aside. As for the future path Spirit Hall would take, that was His Holiness the Pope's business and had nothing to do with him.

"Bishop Qiu Dekao, do you know what you are saying? You dare question His Holiness the Pope's judgment?"

Ghost Douluo stepped forward a few paces with a sinister expression, intending to make a move against the Platinum Bishop who had voiced his opposition.

"Elder Ghost, Bishop Qiu Dekao is right. We truly should concentrate our resources and cultivate a main force belonging to Spirit Hall itself!"

"How about this? Leave the task of seeking talented disciples to the Holy Son. He is still young and can communicate more easily with those his own age. If he truly encounters other talented disciples, he can better bring them into Spirit Hall!"

Bibi Dong sat sideways upon the Pope's throne, her long, shapely legs crossed together, gleaming snow-white.

Feeling somewhat bored, she lifted her fair jade foot and gently swung the silver high-heeled shoe upon it.

Alluring yet elegant, she exuded a different kind of temptation, all the more highlighting the charm of a youthful, mature woman.

"Does anyone have any other objections? If not, then dismiss yourselves!"

Seeing that no one in the hall raised any further objections, Bibi Dong waved her hand, signaling for everyone to leave.

The task of recruiting talented soul masters as disciples should still be left to Lin Tian!

However, before letting Lin Tian leave, she still needed to test this little fellow once more and see whether he truly had feelings for her?!
