After the voice faded, the entire space fell silent for a long time...
Not only that, but there was also a thick sense of suffocation...
Flame swallowed hard and nudged Evil Moon with his elbow, whispering, "Evil… Evil Moon, why do I feel like the atmosphere is a bit eerie? Why has the Pope suddenly stopped talking?"
Evil Moon also wore a puzzled expression, "I… I'm not sure either, we… haven't missed anything, have we?"
He wondered if they had missed some information...
Or perhaps, the Pope was communicating with someone using spiritual power...
Only Hulena noticed that Bi Bidong's gaze was fixed on Xu Sheng, as if she had something to say...
She immediately spoke up, "Brother, Flame, I think… perhaps the teacher and Xu Sheng have something to discuss? How about everyone else leaves first?"
This suggestion was immediately agreed upon by the two...
Afterward, they simply signaled to Bi Bidong and left the academy...
The rest of the Golden Generation members were no fools either and quickly followed suit...
In a moment, the academy was left with only Xu Sheng!
Seeing this, Xu Sheng knew that Bi Bidong probably did it on purpose...
He took the initiative to ask, "Your Holiness, do you have another matter?"
Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong clenched the Purple Crystal Scepter in her hand, her tone becoming serious, "Xu Sheng, I've come here to tell you two things!"
Xu Sheng nodded calmly, "Please speak, Your Holiness!"
The former wasted no time and immediately stated, "The first matter is that not long ago, several creatures similar in appearance to soul beasts appeared in Martial Soul City. They must be the abyssal creatures you spoke of before!"
"Unfortunately, by the time the Spirit Hall Soldiers found them, only corpses remained!"
Having said that, she glanced at Yueguan...
He immediately understood and quickly retrieved several abyssal creatures' corpses from his storage soul tool...
If one observed carefully, they would notice that the wounds on these corpses still had traces of faint ice shavings...
With just a glance, Xu Sheng was certain these were the abyssal creatures he had killed with his own hands!!
He confidently stated, "Yes, Your Holiness, they are indeed real abyssal creatures!"
"After death, they do not produce Soul Rings or Soul Bones, and their blood is purple-black!"
Bi Bidong pursed her lips, "Now that we have confirmed they are abyssal creatures, can you derive any useful information from these corpses?"
As she spoke, her gaze was firmly on Xu Sheng's face as if trying to discern something...
Facing the look from the Pope, Xu Sheng still calmly analyzed, "Based on the wounds on these abyssal creatures' corpses, they were killed by a powerful Soul Master!!"
"At the very least, they were at the level of a Title Douluo!!"
Upon these words, Yueguan and Gui Mei felt no dissonance and thus used their spiritual power to communicate...
"Your Holiness, there's not a trace of panic on Xu Sheng's face, so it's likely these abyssal creatures' deaths have nothing to do with him!"
"Your Holiness, regarding Xu Sheng's Martial Soul, Yueguan and I can confirm it is plant-based. To be able to kill these abyssal creatures and leave such clean wounds is simply impossible!"
In contrast, Bi Bidong could not discern anything either...
After taking a deep breath, she continued, "Hmm, your deductions are similar to mine. However, do these abyssal creatures have the ability to resurrect?"
It seems that the deaths of the abyssal creatures indeed had nothing to do with Xu Sheng!!
However, I shall take advantage of today and ask for more intelligence on abyssal creatures!
Xu Sheng immediately responded, "On that matter, Your Holiness need not worry. As long as you sever the head of the abyssal creature, it will not resurrect!"
Bi Bidong furrowed her brows, "Sever its head? Shouldn't it be the heart?"
For example, for humans and soul beasts, the heart is the most fatal spot!
Yueguan and Gui Mei next to her also showed a look of surprise...
This was also their first time hearing about this!
Xu Sheng did not find it troublesome and patiently explained, "Your Holiness, it's like this: although abyssal creatures appear similar to soul beasts, their bodily structures are not the same. Only by severing their heads can you kill them completely!"
"Otherwise, there is a great chance they will resurrect!"
Speaking of resurrection, most abyssal creatures do not rely on a heart to sustain life, and even if it's destroyed, they can still live on!
Bi Bidong immediately chose to trust, "Xu Sheng, you have provided a very important piece of information!"
Without this information, if we were to encounter an abyssal creature in the future, we might allow it to escape by luck because we did not behead it!!
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "As long as I can help Your Holiness, that's good. But, what is the other matter you wished to discuss?"
Bi Bidong hesitated for a moment, then ordered, "Yueguan, you speak of this matter!"
Upon hearing this, Yueguan dared not refuse...
He immediately turned to Xu Sheng to explain, "Xu Sheng, do you remember Tang San who once lived in Holy Soul Village with you? He has now officially joined the Martial Soul Hall!"
This statement made Xu Sheng's inky eyes reveal a rare change, "Tang San joined... joined the Martial Soul Hall??"
Would Tang Hao allow Tang San to join the Martial Soul Hall? That was obviously impossible!
This indicated that something unforeseen must have happened while he was away from the Tiandou Empire Palace!
Seeing that his emotional fluctuations were not significant, Yueguan emphasized again, "Xu Sheng, you heard correctly, it's the son of Tang Hao, Tang San. He has joined the Martial Soul Hall!"
"And he even recognizes the Bear Worship of the Worship Hall as his teacher!"
Weren't Xu Sheng and Tang San on good terms?
Why didn't he react at all to these words?
Could it be mere superficial brotherhood?
Xu Sheng, who had come to his senses, did not reveal much of his emotions and casually responded, "Hmm, I'm aware. But since Tang San has now taken Magic Bear Worship as his teacher, he must be in the Worship Hall at this moment."
Yueguan affirmed, "That's right! He is in the Worship Hall, and the Grand Elder at the head seems to want to cultivate him seriously!"
Xu Sheng did not continue to inquire and instead turned his gaze towards Bi Bidong, softly expressing his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Holiness, for specifically informing me of this matter!"
Bi Bidong displayed an indifferent attitude, "There's no need to thank me. Of course, if you are willing, I hope you can bring him to Pope Hall,"
"Here, we always welcome talented children to join, even if he is the son of Tang Hao, he can receive the best cultivation resources!"
Xu Sheng neither agreed nor refused...
"If there's a chance, I will. Now, Your Holiness, if there's nothing else, I will take my leave first!"
