Martial Soul City, within the Pope Hall!
Yueguan below clasped his fists as a gesture, then pointed to the enormous corpse lying on the ground and said, "Your Holiness, this is the body of the abyssal creature that invaded our Martial Soul City this time!"
Bi Bidong raised an eyebrow and scrutinized the corpse of the abyssal creature…
"Oh? There was only one invader in Martial Soul City this time?"
The former shook his head, "Not so, this is one of several that Gu Rong and I killed together. As for the other abyssal creatures, they quickly left upon witnessing its death!"
"However, we have yet to confirm whether they have left Martial Soul City or not!"
If these abyssal creatures had not left but were merely hiding...
They might attack the Soul Masters and civilians within Martial Soul City at any moment!
Bi Bidong propped up her chin, her expression turning grave, "Indeed, this is quite tricky. According to Xu Sheng, if they were ordinary abyssal creatures, they wouldn't be much of a concern!"
"But the ones we've encountered so far possess power comparable to a Titled Douluo!"
She then asked again, "Yueguan, even you cannot sense their presence?"
Yueguan responded with a hint of apology, "Yes, Your Holiness, these abyssal creatures can transform into human form, changing even their aura. I cannot detect their presence!"
If not for this, he would have long since mobilized all the powerhouses in Martial Soul City to hunt down these abyssal creatures!
Unfortunately, that was simply not possible!
Bi Bidong took a deep breath and inquired once more, "Since we can't differentiate them by their aura, are there any other characteristics?"
Yueguan was one of the ones who had encountered the most abyssal creatures—perhaps he had other insights!
Upon hearing this, Yueguan also began pondering deeply, frantically recalling the detailed characteristics of these abyssal creatures...
However, he soon shook his head to express his stance...
"Your Holiness, forgive me, I cannot answer your question. Abyssal creatures don't exhibit any noticeable traits before they reveal their true form!"
"I believe, Gu Rong managed to detect them because they happened to attack the Soul Masters of Martial Soul City!"
He had tried his best to ponder the question, but no useful information came to light!
This answer left Bi Bidong in silence...
Seeing this, Yueguan, misunderstanding that he angered the former, immediately bowed and said, "Your Holiness, I beg your pardon!"
Bi Bidong gave him a glance and stood up from the Pope's Chair, "When have I ever been angry? I was merely considering how to solve this problem!"
Then, with a graceful posture, she walked over to the abyssal creature...
After releasing her spiritual power, she thoroughly sensed every part of its body...
After a while, Bi Bidong gave a fair assessment...
"Apart from being larger than the average soul beast, this abyssal creature's body doesn't seem to have anything special!"
"Perhaps, we could have some Soul Masters use tracking soul skills to find their traces!"
At these words, Yueguan experienced a moment of enlightenment...
He volunteered eagerly, "Your Holiness, perhaps this is indeed feasible. I will go and call those Soul Masters skilled in tracking right away!"
Damn it, he had actually forgotten about this method!
It was no wonder she was Your Holiness, able to think of it instantly!
The well-prepared Bi Bidong replied indifferently, "There is no need, I have already notified them. I imagine it won't be long before they will arrive here!"
No sooner had her words fallen than she glanced towards the distance...
"They're here!"
As expected, the voice of the Guardian rang out from outside the Pope Hall...
"Your Holiness, someone requests an audience!"
"Let them in!"
With that response, a dozen or so Soul Masters stepped into the Pope Hall...
Seeing Bi Bidong and Yueguan, they bent down and said in unison, "Your Holiness, Elder Ju!"
The former quietly replied, "There's no need to be so formal, everyone stand up."
Only then did everyone straighten their chests and subconsciously scan their surroundings...
Upon noticing the abyssal creature lying on the ground, they all showed expressions of shock, fear, and astonishment...
But still, they suppressed the urge within their hearts...
Bi Bidong pursed her lips and explained, "As you all can see, this is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast comparable to a Title Douluo!"
"It was Elder Ju who discovered and slew it within Martial Soul City!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd uttered sounds of disbelief...
"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast? No wonder this soul beast's body is so much larger than that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beast!"
"Hiss... I never thought I'd see a hundred-thousand-year soul beast one day. If we encountered it in Aquipeia Forest, we'd probably be torn to shreds in an instant!"
"It's no surprise coming from Elder Ju, to actually have slain a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!!"
"Terrifying, just seeing the corpse of this soul beast makes my heart tremble, I can't imagine how oppressive it must be when alive!"
Only the man at the forefront seemed to have grasped something and said with a clasped fist, "Your Holiness, could it be that you summoned us here in connection with this soul beast?"
What a bunch of idiots, if Your Holiness summoned us here, it's certainly not just to look at this hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
After all, she just mentioned that it was found within Martial Soul City!
And considering our own expertise in tracking, the answer is quite clear!
There might still be hundred-thousand-year soul beasts hidden within Martial Soul City, and we need to use this corpse to find them!
Bi Bidong hadn't expected the other party to catch on so quickly and did not spare any praise with an approving look...
"Correct, your presence here is indeed related to this matter!"
The man replied without hesitation, "In that case, Your Holiness, please give your orders, and we will do our utmost!"
Yueguan muttered to himself, "This guy reacts pretty fast, not bad. He could be promoted in the future!"
Now that they were here, Bi Bidong naturally had no intention of hiding anything, "In fact, there might be some powerful soul beasts hidden within Martial Soul City!"
"I want you to use this corpse to search inside Martial Soul City!"
If you find them, eliminate them!
If you don't, all the better!
Upon hearing this, everyone paused for a moment, then they actively expressed their determination...
"Rest assured, Your Holiness, we will certainly not disappoint your expectations and will definitely find the soul beasts hidden within Martial Soul City!"
Bi Bidong nodded in satisfaction, "Very well! If you can successfully complete this task, Martial Soul Hall will provide you with a generous reward!"
Having said this, she looked at Yueguan, "Yueguan, you'll follow up on this matter from now on. As soon as there's a lead, make sure to notify me immediately!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Having spoken, the man didn't linger and left the Pope Hall...
