The next day, having received the news, the Grand Elder of the Worship Hall, Qian Dao Liu, had a face as somber as stagnant water...
"Did you just say," Bi Bidong has taken Xu Sheng as her disciple and even intends to appoint him as the Saint Heir?"
Standing beside him, Demon Suppressing Douluo affirmed, "Yes, Grand Elder, not only that, but she also specially came to inquire about the opinions of the Worship Hall, clearly meaning to provoke!"
If it weren't for Yueguan and Gui Mei's arrival together, he certainly would have made them regret it!
Qianjun Douluo spoke with disdain, "He's just an insignificant fellow. If they want to name him Crown Prince, let them, we of the Worship Hall do not acknowledge it!"
Moxiong Douluo chimed in, "That's right, our Worship Hall only recognizes Xiao Xue, the one and only Holy Daughter!"
Guibao Douluo raised an eyebrow, "In my opinion, could it be that Bi Bidong is showing weakness, thus she came to ask for our Worship Hall's opinion?"
Guangling Douluo immediately denied, "Impossible, if Bi Bidong were willing to bend to Worship Hall's will, she wouldn't be reduced to having only Yueguan and Gui Mei as her options!"
"It's very possible it is as Demon Suppressing said, she came to provoke us!"
Gold Crocodile Douluo spoke emotionlessly, "Provoke? Bi Bidong should have that kind of courage. If she angers us, she can forget about securing her position as Pope!"
As the Second Offering of the Worship Hall, a level-98 Hyper Douluo, he didn't even take Bi Bidong seriously!
He merely saw the other party as a convenient tool for managing Martial Soul Hall!!
After a pause, he continued, "However... What's the deal with this Xu Sheng? Why have I never heard of him before?"
With that, he turned his gaze to Qian Dao Liu, "Grand Elder, have you heard of him??"
Qian Dao Liu glanced at the other offering elders present, "This Xu Sheng, is the child I ordered Bi Bidong to remove from the wanted list!"
This statement immediately drew everyone's attention...
If the Grand Elder paid attention to him, then this Xu Sheng could be out of the ordinary!
Without playing coy, he continued, "Just as you all have guessed, this Xu Sheng possesses the highest talent, even Xiao Xue pales in comparison to him, much like a firefly trying to outshine the bright moon!"
Upon hearing this, all the offering elders showed shocked expressions...
Qianjun Douluo questioned in disbelief, "Grand Elder, that's impossible, isn't it? Xiao Xue has Innate soul power level twenty, who else could have talent surpassing hers?"
Moxiong Douluo agreed, "Exactly, Grand Elder, even if Xu Sheng had Innate full soul power, he could not possibly compare to Xiao Xue!"
Guibao Douluo was even more dissatisfied, "Grand Elder, could it be that you've overestimated this Xu Sheng??"
They were well aware of Qian Renxue's talent, and it was hard to imagine anyone being better!
Qian Dao Liu pursed his lips, "I know you all are doubtful, but Xu Sheng not only possesses a top-tier plant Martial Soul..."
Before he could finish, Gold Crocodile Douluo frowned, "Just a top-tier plant Martial Soul? Xiao Xue has a God Level Martial Soul like the Holy Angel!!"
Qian Dao Liu glared at him, "I haven't finished yet, not only does he have a top-tier plant Martial Soul, but his Innate soul power rank is... an astounding level ninety!!"
In an instant, the entire hall fell into silence, so quiet that not even a breath could be heard...
Gold Crocodile Douluo swallowed hard and asked, "Grand Elder, you... you're not joking, are you??"
Qian Dao Liu spoke deliberately, "Do you think I'm joking??"
Gold Crocodile Douluo observed his expression carefully and found no trace of jest...
He braced himself and said, "This... this is against all reason. How could there be a Soul Master with Innate Soul Power Level Ninety? In that case, wouldn't it mean that with just a little bit of cultivation, he could become an Ultimate Douluo, possibly even breaking through that final barrier!"
Qian Dao Liu reigned in his emotions, "That's exactly right, which is why I am so furious that Bi Bidong has snatched Xu Sheng to be her disciple first!"
The other offering elders also realized this might indeed be true, exchanging glances and reaching a consensus...
Finally, Qianjun Douluo, filled with murderous intent, suggested, "Grand Elder, give the order. Let's snatch Xu Sheng right away. If Bi Bidong dares to obstruct, we'll eliminate her as well!!"
Such a genius must absolutely not fall into Bi Bidong's hands!
Qian Dao Liu was somewhat speechless, his tone annoyed, "Extinguish? What extinguish? Do you not realise how big a problem it would cause if the Pope of Martial Soul Hall were to perish at this time?"
If Bi Bidong were to perish at such a time, the entire Martial Soul Hall would be affected!!
Qianjun Douluo clenched his fists, somewhat discontent, "Then, Grand Elder, are we just going to watch with our eyes wide open as such a genius becomes Bi Bidong's person?"
"In the future, it could very likely hinder Xiao Xue from inheriting the position of Pope!!"
Who knew, he would meet with Qian Dao Liu's rejection...
"No, only this is impossible!"
This decisive tone left the guest elders even more baffled...
They had absolutely no idea where Qian Dao Liu's confidence came from to say such things!
But what followed made them understand why...
"Before entering Pope Hall, Xu Sheng had come into contact with Xiao Xue and knew her true identity!"
"Not only that, the two share a deep relationship!!"
Moxiong Douluo exclaimed in shock, "A deep... deep relationship, Grand Elder, is it the kind of relationship I am thinking of?"
Qian Dao Liu did not deny it, but affirmed it instead...
"Hmm, according to what Snake Spear has reported, Xu Sheng seems to have determined that Xiao Xue is his future partner!!"
This answer left the guest elders at a loss for words for a moment...
If this were truly the case, then there would be no need to worry about Xu Sheng becoming Bi Bidong's disciple and being used by her!
Not to mention hindering Qian Renxue from inheriting the position of Pope!!
Qian Dao Liu did not expect these guest elders to propose any meaningful suggestions, closing his eyes he said, "Alright, I have my considerations, in the name of Worship Hall, I agree to establish Xu Sheng as the Saint Heir!!"
...
It was assumed that once the agreement of Worship Hall was obtained, Xu Sheng would be established as the Saint Heir!
But until the next day, there was not the slightest news...
Even the name "Xu Sheng" was not mentioned!
Even Yueguan and Gui Mei were puzzled by this...
Bi Bidong looked at Yueguan and Gui Mei below, speaking indifferently, "What's the matter? Are you wondering why I haven't taken any action?"
Yueguan nodded, "Your Holiness the Pope, since Worship Hall has already agreed to establish Xu Sheng as the Saint Heir, wouldn't our inaction potentially cause dissatisfaction within Worship Hall?"
Bi Bidong chuckled lightly, "Dissatisfied? What of it, are you suggesting that I really establish Xu Sheng as the Saint Heir?"
It seems my guess was correct!
Xu Sheng has indeed formed a deep connection with Worship Hall...
If that's the case, there's no need to establish him as the Saint Heir, just keeping control in my hands will suffice!
Gui Mei also reminded, "Yueguan, Her Holiness the Pope must have her reasons for not establishing Xu Sheng as the Saint Heir, don't ask too much!"
