The changes five years later (Part two)

Pope Bibi Dong's gaze gradually turned solemn as she spoke, "As time goes by, the Spirit Hall's strength grows ever larger, with a constant influx of outstanding new Soul Master. However, there is also a continuous loss of Soul Master. While we are the largest Soul Master group on the continent, we are not the only one. Not all Soul Master will obey the Spirit Hall's commands. In particular, some powerful individuals do not even take the Spirit Hall seriously."

"To improve this situation and unite all Soul Master, I have decided to launch the Soul Hunting Operation. We will deliver a fatal blow to those who dare to outwardly comply with the Spirit Hall while inwardly defying it. At the same time, the Seven Great Sects have existed for many years and it is time for a reorganization."

The words "Soul Hunting Operation" were like a Soul Tool bomb thrown into the conference room, instantly causing an uproar. As the highest-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, there were more than twenty Soul Master present, all of whom had heard of this Soul Hunting Operation.

It was proposed when Bibi Dong first came to power, but the Elder Hall forcibly suppressed it.

Twenty years later, the old matter was brought up again. Judging from Bibi Dong's expression, they understood that this time, action was probably really about to begin. Her His Holiness the Pope would never speak without reason; she must have already made all the necessary preparations.

"Quiet!" With a bang, Bibi Dong slammed her hand on the table, and a powerful aura erupted from her.

Under her powerful intimidation, everyone in the conference hall immediately fell silent.

Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and her voice was deep and solemn as she said, "I called you here today not to discuss this, but to announce an order. I have already discussed and decided on this matter with the elders of the Elder Hall. The Soul Hunting Operation will officially begin in one month. The Papal Hall will be the main force in dispatching personnel, and all Spirit Temple and Main Halls must strictly follow the orders issued by the Spirit Hall without any mistakes."

"I will personally participate in the execution of this Soul Hunting Operation. If any part of it goes wrong, don't blame me Bibi Dong, for being ruthless."

After twenty years of forbearance, Bibi Dong was finally about to make her move. She slowly raised her head, looking at the luxurious dome of the conference hall. "Teacher, you died at the hands of Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect back then. It's time to avenge you. This time, no one can stop me. The Seven Great Sects, the Clear Sky Sect, humph! I will let you know who the true master of this continent is."

The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest forest on the Douluo Continent and a paradise for Soul Beast.

The forest stretches as far as the eye can see, teeming with countless Soul Beast; it is both a paradise and a nightmare for Soul Master Soul Master.

Opportunities and dangers coexist in the Star Dou Great Forest.

In the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, there is a small lake. If you hadn't actually come here, it would be hard to believe that such a wonder exists in this vast forest.

The lake is not very large, only about 100 meters in diameter, but its clear surface is like a mirror, reflecting the green trees on both banks.

On the lakeside, an even stranger scene unfolded.

A young girl in a white dress sat quietly under a large tree, her arms wrapped around her knees, gazing intently at the lake in front of her, lost in thought.

Her long, smooth, black hair cascaded down, spilling onto the grass behind her, making her look incredibly beautiful.

Her exquisitely beautiful features were softened by her gentle demeanor, making her look so stunning that she blended perfectly with the surrounding scenery, like the finishing touch to a beautiful painting.

Behind this beautiful young woman, a colossal chimpanzee crouched silently. Its body was as large as a mountain. Compared to it, the young woman appeared so slender and tiny.

The giant chimpanzee's gaze was gentle, remaining fixed on the girl before it. It was they who made up this strange scene.

The girl sitting there was Xiao Wu. And the giant black gorilla behind her was naturally the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming.

It has been five years since I returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.

For the past five years, aside from the monotonous cultivation, she has enjoyed sitting by the lake, quietly watching the water before her. As for what she is thinking, only she knows.

Just then, with a splash, a huge head emerged from the lake in front of Xiao Wu.

It was a bull's head, at least four meters in diameter, with two large, lantern-like eyes that shone brightly. Strangely, what connected behind this giant head was not the body of a bull, but the body of a huge snake, several times thicker than a water vat, and entirely blackish-blue.

Although Doppelganger was still submerged in the water, the portion that was above water was terrifying enough.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the bull's head, Xiao Wu wasn't surprised at all. Feeling the concern in those large, lantern-like eyes, a faint smile appeared on her pretty face. "Da Ming, why are you out at this time?"

The bull-headed, snake-bodied monster let out a low growl and surprisingly spoke in human language, "Sister Xiao Wu, I really don't like how forlorn you look now. Five years have passed, and you've always been like this. Is the human world really that good?"

This monster with a bull's head and a snake's body is none other than the emperor of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sky Azure Bull Python. Like the Titan Giant Ape, its cultivation has reached the level of 100,000 years. However, neither of them chose to transform into human form.

They also rarely display their true strength in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Of course, almost no humans can come here. The center of the Star Dou Great Forest is a forbidden area for humans.

Xiao Wu paused for a moment, then lowered her head and smiled faintly, "No, I wasn't thinking about the human world, but about my friends there. Da Ming, Er Ming, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Though she said these words, her heart was filled with longing. "Brother, how are you? I don't know when I'll see you again. Don't worry, I will cultivate diligently. When I reach Maturity Stage, I will definitely come to find you."

The Titan Giant Ape Er Ming, crouching behind Xiao Wu, said in a deep voice, "Sister Xiao Wu, some of the humans we encountered in the forest not long ago escaped back. Whether you yearn to return to the human world or not, don't leave Star Lake for now. Here, your brother and I can better protect you."

The Sky Azure Bull Python sneered, "Let them come. If we hadn't been away back then, how could Auntie have..."

Upon hearing its words, Xiao Wu's face turned deathly pale. Da Ming quickly shut up and nervously brought his large head close to Xiao Wu's face, "I'm sorry, Sister Xiao Wu, I didn't mean to bring up your sad story."

Xiao Wu silently shook her head. "So many years have passed. I'm fine. However, I've found the murderer who killed my mother. One day, I will definitely kill her with my own hands and avenge my mother."

The Sky Azure Bull Python, Da Ming, blinked. "Sister Xiao Wu, tell us your stories from the human world. Is the human world really that fun?"

Although Da Ming and Er Ming are the most powerful Soul Beast in this Star Dou Great Forest, they have never left this forest.

They spend their days absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, living their lives just like Xiao Wu when she first left, her heart as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Er Ming also sat down, looking at Xiao Wu with a similar sense of anticipation.
