95 Willing to Serve Her Majesty the Saint
Tiandou City, Wuhun Temple.
Bibi Dong sat high on the throne, legs crossed, left leg resting on right leg, one hand gently shaking the wine glass, the other hand holding her cheek. The two Soul Fighters, Juhuaguan and Guimei, guarded her on both sides like the two generals, looking majestic and imposing, with the temperament of a superior being clearly revealed.
The current platinum bishop Sack stood five meters below the throne, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Highness, according to your instructions, I have secretly spread the news that Tang Hao led the Power Clan to suffer. Now the Power Clan has complained about the Haotian Sect, and even the other three single-attribute sects have complaints about the Haotian Sect."
At this point, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. "If this is the case, will it damage the relationship between the Haotian Sect and my Wuhun Hall? As you know, the High Priest and Haotian Dou Luo have been friends for many years. If the High Priest and His Holiness the Pope knew about this..."
"Do you think the relationship between Haotian Sect and Wuhun Hall is good?"
Bibi Dong put down the wine glass and stood up suddenly. She did not summon her martial spirit. In the astonished eyes of Sack, Kikui and other three Soul Fighter-level masters, she took a single step and moved to the center of the hall more than ten meters away.
Bibi Dong turned her back to the three of them, looking as if she was thinking about the Spirit Hall and had a righteous look on her face:
"Ever since Tang Chen led the Haotian Sect to gain the great reputation of 'the world's number one sect, the world's number one weapon spirit', the disciples of the Haotian Sect have become arrogant and look down on almost any spirit master. They even look down on our Spirit Hall. I'm sure you all know this without me having to tell you."
"It's not been a day or two since those Haotian Sect disciples have been so arrogant, especially Tang Hao, who is known as a rare genius in the Haotian Sect. He relies on his grandfather Tang Chen and treats our Wuhun Hall as nothing."
"If we continue like this, sooner or later, the Haotian Sect will become the enemy of our Wuhun Hall."
"Moreover, Tang Hao has been determined to surpass his grandfather, Haotian Dou Luo, since he was young. He is very ambitious and is absolutely unwilling to be inferior to others. He will not be content with the current status of being the world's number one sect. He is eager to lead the Haotian Sect to replace our Wuhun Hall at any time."
"And once the Spirit Hall is replaced, do you know what terrible things will happen?"
"Civilians will no longer be able to awaken their martial spirits. The two great empires will no longer provide subsidies to low-level spirit masters. The spirit masters will lose control and will wantonly hunt and kill spirit beasts for spirit bones. As a result, our descendants will be in a situation where they have almost no spirit rings to use."
"The most terrifying thing is that those evil soul masters who were once destroyed by the Spirit Hall or driven to the Slaughter City will revive without the suppression and intimidation of our Spirit Hall."
"They may not dare to attack the families with powerful spirit masters and the imperial nobles who are protected by the army, but they will act recklessly against the civilians who have no power to fight back."
"Without the Spirit Hall's checks and balances, the two empires will recklessly wage war. Civilians will continue to suffer from the chaos of war."
"Including me, the vast majority of people in the Spirit Hall are of civilian origin."
"Even for soul masters like us, the Haotian Sect still looks down on us. When that time really comes, do you think the Haotian Sect will still care about the lives of civilians?"
"So for the sake of the Pope, the Great Priest, the Spirit Hall, the great Angel God, and the billions of souls on the Dou Luo Continent, I, as the Saint of the Spirit Hall, must take precautions before it happens."
"While the Haotian Sect is not yet strong enough, I will create divisions within it, as long as I can weaken its power. I will stop its ambition to replace my Spirit Hall. Even if I am punished by my teacher and the chief priest, even if I lose my position as the Saint, I will not hesitate."
Although Bibi Dong is a love-brained person and her IQ approaches zero in front of the person she likes, she has been with Lin Hanye for many years after all.
I have learned and understood a lot through watching and hearing.
After hearing Bibi Dong's mixed words, Juhuaguan, Guimei, and Sack, who were born as civilians, seemed to have returned to the difficult days before their martial spirits awakened.
Then, with the help of the Spirit Hall, he awakened his spirit and went through many hardships along the way, among which there was no telling how much bitterness there was.
It is entirely conceivable what kind of situation they would be in now if there was no Spirit Hall.
Or you may stay in the mountain village all your life and never get ahead.
Or become food for those evil soul masters.
Or died in war.
How could he have his current level of cultivation and status?
Thinking of this, the three of them immediately knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "We are willing to serve Her Highness the Saint."
Xiao Linzi's words really worked. Bibi Dong was secretly proud in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface. She raised her hand and released her soul power to support the three people. She nodded and said, "Please stand up. Bibi Dong is the Saint of the Spirit Hall, the disciple of His Holiness the Pope, and the first successor to the next Pope. Naturally, I should consider the Spirit Hall."
"I will explain to my teacher, and you don't need to worry about the chief priest. If the chief priest blames me, I will bear all the responsibility."
After hearing what Bibi Dong said, the three of them became even more excited.
There is a line in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that goes, 'Today I have met a wise ruler, it is like seeing the blue sky after clearing away the clouds.'
Although it is a bit exaggerated to use this sentence to describe the mood of Sack, Kikui and the other two at the moment.
But it's pretty much the same.
On the other side, Lin Hanye, who had already returned to Binghuoyan, learned about what happened in Tiandou City and a surprised smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect things to be more interesting than I thought."
After destroying the Li Clan branch that day, Lin Hanye went to meet with Bibi Dong and asked her to divert people's attention from the murderer. It would be best if she could lead the matter to Tang Hao, making people think that everything was caused by Tang Hao causing trouble outside.
The God of Killing Domain is a good entry point.
In fact, everything turned out just as he expected.
In addition to Bibi Dong's instigation, there was also the arrogance of the people from the Haotian Sect.
When Old Titan disappeared and all branches of the Power Clan were wiped out, they didn't care about Old Titan's life or death, nor were they in a hurry to find the real culprit. Instead, they asked for the Thousand-year Ant Soul Bone. It seems that they are not afraid of discouraging the four major single-attribute sects.
Yes, in the original novel, after Tang Hao "hammered" Qian Xunji to death, they just gave up on the Spirit Hall when they came to question them, without even saying hello. How could they really care about the feelings of their affiliated sects?
In their eyes, they are just four dogs they raised.
Only old Titan is willing to be treated like a dog, and looks like he is willing to die for his master.
