Chapter 7 Bibi Dong's Smile: Hunter and Prey? It remains to be seen.
Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.
The magnificent hall was now eerily quiet, with a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.
Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, was sitting on her papal throne with her legs crossed. Her exquisite and beautiful face was somewhat aloof.
Elders Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also frowned slightly, their gazes fixed on the cardinal in the center of the hall.
Cardinal Zhao Wuji was trembling as he knelt in the center of the hall, his forehead pressed to the ground, his voice shaking.
"Your Holiness, Ying Zheng... he refused."
Upon hearing the cardinal's words, Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with a strange light, and her fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest.
"What did he say?"
The cardinal dared not raise his head: "He said... preaching is acceptable. But interfering in politics is not."
"He said this was his bottom line. He said... if His Holiness the Pope wants to talk, he welcomes it; if he wants to fight... he'll be there too."
Upon hearing this, the main hall fell into an unusual silence.
Bibi Dong's delicate face revealed a hint of interest, not the expected rage, but rather an amusement.
That's right, it's interesting.
"Is Ying Zheng correct?"
"A twelve-year-old child dares to challenge my Spirit Hall."
She slowly rose, her gaze sweeping out of the Papal Palace, as if trying to pierce through space to reach the imperial palace of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
"What gives him that confidence?"
After a moment, Bibi Dong came to her senses and looked at the kneeling cardinal again.
"I don't know the specifics, but... there's Zhao Gao, the personal eunuch by his side."
"It is highly likely that he is a Title Douluo, and his strength is not low."
Zhao Gao? A titled Douluo?!
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong smiled.
Does he dare to challenge the Spirit Hall with just one Title Douluo?!
Perhaps they're tired of living too long.
"Is there anything else?"
Bibi Dong continued to ask.
Upon hearing this, the cardinal's expression changed slightly, and he slowly said, "According to information sent by our Spirit Hall."
"It seems that Ying Zheng went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Rings, accompanied by only seven people: Zhao Gao and the Six Sword Slaves."
"The Six Sword Slaves are suspected to be all Soul Douluo level experts, and they possess an extremely terrifying Martial Soul Fusion skill. Once they unleash the Six-in-One technique, even Title Douluo will be killed."
Upon hearing this, not only Bibi Dong, but also Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei became serious.
The Six Sword Slaves is a fusion technique of six swords that can kill a Title Douluo.
This is no small matter!
A mere twelve-year-old child was able to control a Title Douluo and the Six Sword Slaves who possessed such deadly moves.
Clearly, this Ying Zheng was far more complex than he appeared.
Bibi Dong's smile deepened...
"Interesting, Title Douluos, six Soul Douluos."
"This is really impressive!"
Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance. Chrysanthemum Douluo stepped forward and respectfully said, "Your Holiness, would you like Old Ghost and I to go to the Heaven Dou Empire to probe their intentions?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong pondered for a moment before raising her hand and smiling, "No."
"No rush, let's take a look first."
Upon hearing this, both Chrysanthemum and Ghost, two titled Douluo powerhouses, showed a hint of doubt.
Ghost Douluo asked, somewhat puzzled, "What does Your Holiness the Pope wish to see?"
A strange light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes before she spoke, "Let's see how far this child can go."
"A twelve-year-old child, with not only Title Douluos under his command, but also six peak Soul Douluo experts. He's clearly not simple. This kind of person is either a madman, or..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"
"He is a man with great ambition, or rather, great aspirations. His vision probably extends far beyond just the Heavenly Dou Empire."
Bibi Dong smiled, a genuine smile from the bottom of her heart.
This kind of smile hasn't appeared on her face for many years.
Upon hearing this, the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Demon, exchanged a glance.
"His Holiness the Pope actually thinks highly of this child."
"If that's the case, shouldn't we completely suppress him before he grows up?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo asked with some doubt.
Bibi Dong shook her head, slowly got up, walked to the center of the hall, and without stopping, went directly to the entrance of the hall, looking up at the endless sky.
"The Heaven Dou Empire has been in chaos for so many years, it's time for someone to come out and put things in order."
"The Haotian Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect... and so on, these forces have become increasingly powerful in recent years."
"Let's let this little guy test the waters first. If he can't even handle these forces, he's not qualified to stand in front of us."
Upon hearing this, the two elders from the Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, suddenly understood and nodded.
"Your Majesty, what about Hu Liena?"
"Ghost Douluo said in a low voice."
"Since she wants to go to the Heavenly Dou Empire, let her go and see for herself what kind of person Ying Zheng really is."
Bibi Dong said with a smile.
She leaned back in her chair, her fingers tapping the armrest again, a slight smile always playing on her lips.
It wasn't a sneer, it was the smile of a hunter seeing his prey!
However—high-level hunters often appear as prey.
Who is the player and who is the piece in this game is far from known.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo looked at each other without saying a word.
They all knew that no one could change the Pope's decision.
"Your Holiness, if that's the case, what should we do with the Heavenly Dou Empire's plan?"
"Is he going to ask her to come back?"
Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo looked up and said somewhat cautiously.
Upon hearing this, the entire hall seemed to grow colder, and Bibi Dong's delicate face turned extremely sinister, her soul power unconsciously radiating a terrifying aura.
After a long silence, Bibi Dong coldly said, "Let her go."
"this……"
"But... what if the High Priest asks?"
Upon hearing the Pope's words, Chrysanthemum Douluo gritted his teeth, looking troubled.
"A thousand streams! A thousand streams!"
Upon hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo mention the Grand Elder, Bibi Dong's anger erupted, her terrifying aura shaking the entire Spirit Hall, and her extremely cold soul power radiating outwards.
After a long while, Bibi Dong regained her composure, though her expression remained icy as she coldly scoffed, "Hmph!"
"If he has any objections, let him come to me."
Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, a hint of lingering fear in their eyes, and nodded.
This is practically a clash of titans, where the underlings suffer!
"Pass down the order: the branch halls of the various Spirit Halls must not attack the Heaven Dou Empire."
"I want to see with my own eyes how far this child can go."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo bowed: "Yes!"
The two left the Papal Palace, leaving only Bibi Dong sitting on the papal throne!
