Inside Pope Hall, Gui Mei suddenly received a spiritual message from Yueguan...
"Lao Gui, go immediately and report to His Holiness the Pope. Prince Xue Xing is leading a group that has already entered Martial Soul City!"
"I am currently hidden, keeping an eye on them!"
Upon hearing this, Gui Mei quickly transmitted a message, "Prince Xue Xing, huh? Let those guys enter Martial Soul City if they wish. As long as they don't make trouble within the city, there's no need to bother about them!"
Despite their noble status, these members of the royal household are weak!
Even if they want to do something, they are not capable!
However, what Yueguan said next caused him to break out in a cold sweat...
"Lao Gui, if it were only Prince Xue Xing arriving, there wouldn't be much to worry about, but that old poison, Du Gu Bo, has entered Martial Soul City as well, and it seems he's brought his granddaughter with him."
"At the moment, it's unclear whether he's here to protect Prince Xue Xing or if he has another agenda!"
Gui Mei took a deep breath, "I understand. Continue to watch them, and I'll report to His Holiness immediately!!"
The next moment, he walked towards the direction of the grand hall...
...
Bi Bidong, who sat on the Pope's Chair with an elegant posture, saw Gui Mei suddenly burst in...
and she slowly opened her beautiful eyes...
Gui Mei bowed respectfully and said, "Your Holiness, I have an urgent report!"
Bi Bidong asked in a very calm manner, "Is it news about the abyssal creatures?"
Gui Mei shook his head in denial, "No, it isn't!"
"According to Yueguan's spiritual message, Prince Xue Xing has led some soldiers from Tiandou Empire into Martial Soul City, of course, the most troublesome are Dugu Bo the Poison Douluo and his granddaughter!"
Hearing the name Dugu Bo, Bi Bidong also became serious, questioning, "What? Dugu Bo entered Martial Soul City?? Who allowed this??"
Gui Mei continued, "Your Holiness, I guess, it must be that Prince Xue Xing applied continuous pressure, and Yueguan had no choice but to allow Dugu Bo and his party into Martial Soul City!"
Bi Bidong's gaze turned much colder, "Hmph, Dugu Bo is extremely adept at using poison, and at full strength, he could turn the whole Martial Soul City into a purgatory!!"
"Immediately summon the strong ones from Martial Soul Hall, and even if we must use force, drive them out of Martial Soul City!!"
Upon hearing this, Gui Mei couldn't help but interject, "Your Holiness, I believe the situation isn't that severe yet!"
"If Dugu Bo had another purpose, why would he bring his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, along?"
Bi Bidong pondered for a moment, realizing there indeed was some reason to this...
Immediately after, she inquired again, "By the way, where is Yueguan at this moment?"
Gui Mei replied truthfully, "He's currently watching Prince Xue Xing and the others, and he won't be able to return to Pope Hall for the time being!"
Bi Bidong's mood slightly eased, "Hmm, let him continue to watch. Should Dugu Bo show any abnormalities, he must report immediately!!"
Gui Mei nodded slightly, "Yes, Your Holiness, but... should we not go and meet Prince Xue Xing?"
After all, he is a member of the Tian Dou Imperial Family!
Bi Bidong's eyes conveyed a hint of disdain, "There's no need. Although Xue Xing is a prince, he holds no real power in Tiandou Empire!"
"Even if we were to get on good terms, it would be pointless!"
"Of course, should they take the initiative to come to Pope Hall, we will host them would then!"
Having heard this, the former could not retort...
After all, he also felt that making contact with Prince Xue Xing had indeed no significance for Martial Soul Hall…
...
Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
Chen Xin and Gu Rong, on their return, happened upon...
The former urgently asked, "Old Bone, did you find Ning Rongrong?"
The latter replied irritably, "Do I look like I found her? This is maddening; where on earth could Rongrong have gone!"
Chen Xin swallowed hard, unable to suppress a thought…
"If even two Hyper Douluos like us can't find Ning Rongrong, the others in the sect definitely can't either. Could it be… she's already..."
Gu Rong's eyes widened as he interjected, "What are you talking about! Rongrong is a lucky child with a grand fate, she is our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect's little princess; how could anything happen to her!"
"Perhaps, she just happens to be in some place that can block her aura!"
Chen Xin retorted angrily, "Then why don't you suggest where such places might be? We could search them one by one!"
Gu Rong's voice grew softer, "That, that..."
After a pause, he countered unwillingly, "If I knew that, I would have already brought Rongrong back!!"
Ning Fengzhi, who had been silent all along, could not help speaking up, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone..."
"I think, I might know where Ning Rongrong has gone to!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong turned to look at him and said coldly, "Feng Zhi, we are not in the mood for jokes right now!"
If even they couldn't find her, how could Ning Fengzhi, merely a Soul Sage, possibly manage!!
Ning Fengzhi's gaze was unusually serious. "I am not joking, Ning Rongrong... she probably went to a place that I am most familiar with!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged glances, "Where did Rongrong go? We'll fetch her back immediately!"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, regarding this place, you won't be able to find it!"
"Therefore, I must ask you to stay within the sect; I will bring Ning Rongrong back safe and sound!"
Chen Xin objected first, "Feng Zhi, stop joking around. Although you are a Sect Master, you are just a support-class Soul Master with no means of self-protection!"
Gu Rong echoed, "Exactly, at least let one of us accompany you!"
What if Ning Rongrong isn't found, and then the Sect Master also ends up in trouble!!
Ning Fengzhi looked at them deeply, "Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword, don't worry, that place is very safe, there's no danger whatsoever!"
Seeing how obstinate he was, Chen Xin couldn't remain calm and rebuked, "Feng Zhi, in times like these, don't you start…"
However, Gu Rong reached out and stopped him…
He asked very seriously, "Feng Zhi, are you sure you don't need us to accompany you?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded, forcing a smile, "Mm, all you need to do is protect the sect. Leave Ning Rongrong to me!"
Gu Rong took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright, I agree to it; we'll protect the sect. And you, you must bring Ning Rongrong back safely."
"If you break your word, you know the consequences..."
Ning Fengzhi replied with an unwavering face, "Mm, I am well aware of them!"
Gu Rong hesitated for a moment, then said in a severe tone, "Feng Zhi, those are your words. If you can't bring Ning Rongrong back, don't blame me for not giving you face as the Sect Master!!"
When his temper flared up, it didn't matter who the other person was!
Ning Fengzhi paused for a moment, then silently turned around and chose to leave by himself...
Ning Rongrong, if dad isn't wrong, you must have gone to that place…
