Chapter 277
Chapter 277
The Star Luo Empire was almost completely under the control of the Martial Spirit Hall. Once Xue Qinghe inherited the throne, he would subtly influence the empire for two years and issue some policies that were closer to the Martial Spirit Hall.
When the time was right, Bibi Dong would start building her own Martial Spirit Empire!
This was actually Bibi Dong's original plan. If not for Tang San's obstruction in the original novel, the Martial Spirit Empire might have already unified the continent.
Lin Feng didn't know about these things. Not only him, but Bibi Dong also hadn't perfected this plan yet.
Her main goal now was to unify the Martial Spirit Hall and then help Xue Qinghe take over the Heaven Dou Empire.
.....
Martial Spirit City, inside the Pope's Palace.
Because five soul bones had been secretly used, several elders were looking for Bibi Dong to explain.
"Your Highness, five ten-thousand-year soul bones have been used as a reward. This is a serious matter. Please investigate again!"
Actually, they all knew that the soul bones were taken by the Pope, but they couldn't say it out loud. After all, this was the current Pope!
Furthermore, she was the disciple of the previous Pope and had the support of the High Priest!
Perhaps the High Priest wouldn't care about this matter, but they still had to be careful with their words to avoid being caught red-handed.
"There's no need to investigate. I asked Yue Guan and Gui Mei to take them away. They'll be back in a few days." Bibi Dong directly admitted it.
This surprised the elders. They were prepared to beat around the bush to get her to admit it. They didn't expect her to admit it with just one sentence.
"May I know what the two elders are doing?
Soul bones are very important. They're related to all the outstanding soul masters in the Martial Spirit Hall. Don't lose them. "
"Elder White Ape, you mean … you want me to report it to you?" Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed.
White Ape Douluo was a rank 92 assault-type Titled Soul Master. His martial soul was the Icewind White Ape. He was also an elder of the Martial Spirit Hall.
After hearing Bibi Dong's words, White Ape cupped his hands and said, "I wouldn't dare. It's just that this matter is very important. If it's not important, I'm afraid it won't be easy to convince everyone."
"That's right. There's never been a case of five soul bones being used without permission. This kind of important matter should be discussed with the elders." Someone at the side agreed.
The Martial Spirit Palace had this rule. If the Pope wanted to make a major decision, he needed at least five elders to agree.
It was obvious that using five soul bones at once was a major decision, but Bibi Dong hadn't obtained the approval of the five elders.
In fact, the reason why they opposed Bibi Dong becoming the Pope was very simple. His strength was not enough to convince the masses!
When the previous Pope died, the Martial Spirit Palace was in chaos. At that time, Bibi Dong was only at the level of Soul Douluo, so he took advantage of the situation to become the Pope.
In the first few years, nothing happened in the Martial Spirit Hall. After all, the change of the Pope did not affect much. Bibi Dong was the disciple of the previous Pope, so his weakness was not a problem.
But later on, because Bibi Dong wanted to conquer the entire continent, he started all kinds of reforms, not only external but also internal reforms.
The Martial Spirit Palace was a large force. Although it was a neutral organization, many of its members had been planted there by the two empires, including Douluo!
Furthermore, many of the soul masters in the Martial Soul Hall were related to the nobles of the two empires, and their interests were tangled and complicated.
Bibi Dong's reforms immediately affected the interests of many people in the Martial Spirit Palace.
In addition, everyone's impression of Bibi Dong was that he was just a Soul Douluo. This kind of strength was not enough to be the Pope, so they started to resist.
However, Bibi Dong was very resourceful. He used the various factions to restrict each other, and then he secretly recruited the elders. After so many years, not only did he recruit Yue Guan and Gui Mei, but he also recruited three other elders.
But of the three elders, only one was in Martial Spirit City. Of the other two, one was in Star Luo City, and the other was Ying Lun. He was in Heaven Dou City.
Of course, in addition to the elders, many Soul Douluo and Soul Sages were also recruited by the Pope, and there were many of them.
After all, she was the legitimate Pope, and many soul masters respected her very much.
Because of this, she slowly gained a foothold in Martial Spirit City. She also believed that when the new generation of the Martial Spirit Palace was nurtured by her, she would be able to completely control the Martial Spirit Palace.
When the time came, the current elders would also be loyal to her.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Bibi Dong's tone was very calm, but his words caused the temperature in the Pope's Palace to drop a few degrees.
"We don't dare!" the elders replied.
They wanted to overthrow the current Pope, but they had to find an opportunity to do so. Since Bibi Dong was the Pope now, they did not dare to openly oppose him.
"Since that's the case, you may leave. Yue Guan and Gui Mei will be back in a few days." Bibi Dong continued.
"This …" White Ape Douluo still wanted to say something.
Bibi Dong's voice rose a notch. "The Continental Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. Elders, you should focus on this matter!"
"Yes, Your Highness." The elders could only bid farewell and leave.
It seemed that the Pope's attitude was very firm on this matter. The few of them were not strong enough. Unless they could persuade the Consecrators to act, or summon the elders who were out on missions, it would take time.
However, all of this required time. Perhaps Moon Pass and Ghost Charm would be back by then.
Although it might be useless, they still had to grasp the opportunity. The elders also began to work.
In the hall, Bibi Dong calculated the time. There were about five days left. If Yue Guan and the others did not return in five days, she would have to give up some benefits.
.....
In the Shrek Academy, Tang San returned to the crowd.
He immediately pulled Xiao Wu and Lin Feng out. Everyone looked at the Grandmaster in confusion.
The Grandmaster smiled and told them about Tang San's identity. However, he did not say much. He only told them about the Clear Sky Sect and Tang San's identity.
This kind of thing could not be hidden. There was no harm in telling them now.
"Damn, Xiao San is the young master of the Clear Sky Sect!" Dai Mubai's mouth was wide open.
"His father is the rumored genius Clear Sky Douluo. He is a genius soul master that even my father praises!" Ning Rongrong said.
Everyone was amazed. At the same time, they all had the same thought in their minds.
Lin Feng was so strong, and he had the support of Thanos.
Now, Tang San's identity was exposed. He was the young master of the Clear Sky Sect, and he had the support of the Titled Douluo.
If the three of them were already so powerful, then Xiao Wu had to be quite something as well. Was she also backed by a Titled Douluo?
All of a sudden, everyone started to discuss. Even the Grandmaster could not help but join in.
