"Xiao Yan has opposed our Spirit Hall repeatedly and killed our elders. He must be eliminated." Bibi Dong's gaze gradually grew grave. "I will personally take part in this operation, but unless absolutely necessary, I will not act. If any of you makes a mistake, do not blame me for showing no mercy afterward."
"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.
With a light wave of her hand, Bibi Dong commanded coldly, "The operation is set for the third watch tomorrow night. Go and make your preparations."
At those words, the other Soul Masters left the Pope's Hall one after another, leaving only Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo behind.
Just then, however, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei's somewhat low voice suddenly rang out. "Your Holiness, should we inform the Great Enshrined before we strike at the people around Xiao Yan? If we could secure the Worship Hall's support..."
Before Ghost Douluo could finish, Bibi Dong raised a hand to interrupt him. "Heh. Given Qian Daoliu's temperament, do you think he would still be foolish enough to join us in attacking Xiao Yan?" she said somberly. "That old fellow would love nothing more than for our Pope's Hall and the Soul Hall to fight to the death, so he could seize the opportunity to wrest power back from me."
"But how could I possibly let him have his way?"
A cold glint flashed within Ghost Douluo's phantom form. "Your Holiness, once we capture the Soul Hall's people, how should we dispose of them?" he asked coldly. "Their souls would surely be the finest nourishment for increasing our strength."
"Hmph. First carry out your task properly." The light in Bibi Dong's eyes dimmed slightly as she waved her hand. "You two may leave as well. I want to be alone for a while.
