Spirit Hall called an emergency meeting. Ling Yuan brought Ye Han there early.
The moment the two stepped into the Supreme Pontiff Palace,
they felt the solemn, serious atmosphere within.
Aside from the two elders protecting Qian Renxue in Heaven Dou City,
all the other elders and worships, and even the Supreme Pontiff, had gathered here.
It was as though the weight of all of Spirit Hall had condensed within this space.
Ye Han's entrance was like a boulder cast into a tranquil lake.
It instantly drew everyone's attention, and they all cast welcoming looks his way.
"Xiao Han, you're here."
Seeing him, Qian Daoliu even rose with a smile, intending to offer his seat.
But Ling Yuan did not dare let Ye Han overstep his bounds like that.
She hurriedly carried Ye Han over and sat in her designated elder's seat.
"Haha."
Qian Daoliu chuckled, inwardly praising Ling Yuan for knowing her duties and proper conduct.
The worships and elders present also smiled and nodded, praising Ling Yuan.
Previously, they had not actually felt entirely reassured about entrusting Ye Han to Ling Yuan's personal tutelage.
But after observing her for this period, Ling Yuan seemed to have become the best choice.
By comparison, a certain someone seemed insignificant, as though her presence made no difference at all!
"Silence!"
Yet amid this harmonious atmosphere, an imperious female shout rang out.
Ye Han looked toward the voice and saw Bibi Dong sitting above them with her legs crossed.
Gripping her scepter tightly, she struck the floor hard with it, her pretty face visibly dark.
Clearly, she had just guessed what many of those present were thinking, making her feel she had lost face.
Bibi Dong showed no consideration for anyone present and spoke imperiously again:
"Since everyone is here, let us get straight to the point!"
"Spirit Hall has many affairs to attend to. Gathering everyone here all at once seriously disrupts its normal operations!"
Upon learning that Qian Daoliu had called an emergency meeting, she had already guessed.
This hastily convened meeting was inextricably linked to Ye Han's visit to Qian Renxue.
Thus, she was also eager to learn exactly what had happened and would tolerate no delay!
Bibi Dong's words, showing such disregard for everyone, immediately displeased quite a few worships.
Second Worship Golden Crocodile knitted his brows, ready to rise and confront Bibi Dong as he had last time.
But before he could act, Qian Daoliu signaled for him to remain calm, then slowly rose and said:
"Everyone, I summoned you here today because of a major matter concerning Spirit Hall's future."
"Xiao Han's twin martial souls are simply too heaven-defying. I fear that once they are revealed, they will draw the hostility of the two great empires."
"Therefore, I have decided to postpone his investiture as Holy Son for two years. We will make a decision then. What do you all think?"
At these words, the entire hall instantly erupted like a boiling pot.
"What?!"
"Postpone his investiture as Holy Son?!"
"And for two whole years at that!?"
The worships and many elders began discussing it, voicing their confusion.
In their view, Ye Han's twin demigod-level martial souls were not enough to make the two great empires jointly target him.
The previous Supreme Pontiff, who had possessed a god-level martial soul, had died a few years ago. What harm could there be in now adding a Holy Son with twin demigod-level martial souls?
"Hehe, postpone it for two years?"
Upon hearing this from her high seat, Bibi Dong secretly rejoiced.
This would undoubtedly be a great help to her plan to extract the twin dragon veins.
Every day Ye Han remained without the title of Holy Son would make killing him that much easier.
After all, if Ye Han became Holy Son, the world's eyes would be on him, making it difficult to strike!
Just as everyone was arguing endlessly, Qian Daoliu spoke again, this time with delight:
"The two great empires might tolerate twin demigod-level martial souls. But what if they were elevated to twin near-god-level martial souls?"
Boom-!
His words were like a sudden thunderclap, shaking the eardrums of everyone present.
"Haha." Qian Daoliu chuckled and turned toward Ye Han without waiting for their reactions.
Ye Han nodded obediently, jumped down from Ling Yuan's arms, and instantly released his twin martial souls.
"Roar-!"
Accompanied once again by two dragon roars, the Radiant Sacred Dragon and Dark Sacred Dragon burst forth.
The presence of his rank thirty-three Soul Power, along with the near-god-level presence emanating from his martial souls, permeated the hall.
"This... this... how is this possible?!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, including Bibi Dong on her high seat.
Ling Yuan took the opportunity to explain that this was the result of Ye Han consuming a special immortal herb.
Only then did everyone understand, marveling at the immortal herb's miraculous properties.
At the same time, they finally understood Qian Daoliu's concerns and nodded in acceptance.
Twin near-god-level martial souls were unprecedented in the continent's entire history. They truly needed to handle this cautiously!
Gulp!
Bibi Dong also came back to her senses, but she did not panic.
Instead, madness flickered in her beautiful eyes, and her heart filled with joy.
This little bastard's two martial souls had improved? Wasn't this simply heaven lending her a hand?
It would be enormously beneficial both for speeding up her divine trials and for resolving Xiao Gang's martial soul defect!
"All right, since no one objects, let us conclude the meeting here."
Seeing that no one present objected, Qian Daoliu immediately announced the meeting's end.
Ling Yuan promptly rose and picked up Ye Han, preparing to leave with him.
If there was nothing else, she needed to hurry home. After all, that Rogue Rabbit, Xiao Wu, was still there.
Although she had asked Nana and Yan Yan to help keep watch, a soul beast that had undergone soul beast transformation was cunning by nature. She could not let her guard down.
And just as Ling Yuan was about to take Ye Han away,
Bibi Dong, seated above them, suddenly remembered something and called out:
"Wait!"
She was curious just how much this little bastard could currently withstand.
How far was he from being able to withstand her using her secret method to extract his dragon veins?
Ling Yuan stopped in confusion, while Ye Han also looked toward Bibi Dong with a face full of wariness.
What did this damned crazy woman want now? Was she going to threaten him again?
The elders and worships who had just risen to leave also looked toward Bibi Dong.
"Xiao Han, come here to your teacher. Let me have a look at you."
Ignoring everyone else's gazes, Bibi Dong curled her lips into a wickedly alluring smile and called softly to Ye Han.
With so many elders present, Ye Han naturally did not worry about her trying anything and walked toward her.
When he reached her, Bibi Dong smiled wickedly and said:
"Come, sit here with your teacher~"
With that, she suddenly lifted the tiny Ye Han onto her lap.
She then instantly infused him with Soul Power, sensing every inch of his body.
The sudden scene instantly robbed Ye Han of his strength, leaving him limp in her arms.
He also immediately lost consciousness, his entire head burying itself in her embrace, shocking everyone present.
However, everyone soon realized that Bibi Dong was examining how much Ye Han's body could withstand internally.
"Mmm... that feels so good~"
"Wait... this... how is this possible!"
After examining him, Bibi Dong was utterly astonished.
She discovered a presence within this little bastard's body.
It actually held an immense attraction for both her martial souls, making her feel incomparably comfortable.
Moreover, she discovered that this little bastard's physical strength far exceeded her expectations.
At this rate of development, he only needed to reach rank forty and obtain his fourth Soul Ring to withstand her extraction of his dragon veins.
Thinking that Ye Han's investiture as Holy Son was at least two years away, which should be enough time for him to reach that strength, Bibi Dong secretly rejoiced.
This way, before this little bastard's investiture as Holy Son two years later, she could extract his twin dragon veins and then dispose of him.
