In Spirit City, within the Papal Hall.
The Papal Hall was much quieter than usual at this moment. Originally, Bibi Dong had nine great elders under her command, but unfortunately, over the past few months, since the Soul Hunting Operation began, they had suffered heavy losses.
Originally, the attacks on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had already resulted in the loss of three Titled Douluo elders. Recently, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had disappeared without a trace.
A cardinal reported, "Reporting to Your Majesty the Pope, we did observe many traces of battle in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. It is likely that Elder Ju and Elder Gui have perished in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. "That's impossible. Elder Ju and Elder Gui are level 95 Titled Douluo. Although there have been Titled Douluo experts who have perished in the Star Dou Great Forest in the past century, there has never been an expert of the level of Elder Ju and Elder Gui."
"Furthermore, Elder Gui is skilled in concealment, and his speed is unmatched in the world. Even if anyone else could possibly perish, Elder Gui would absolutely not have any problems."
A hint of hesitation appeared on the cardinal's face. Finally, he gritted his teeth and spoke, "Your Majesty the Pope, the major soul beast forests seem to have become even more mysterious now. First, Huyan Zhen and his group perished in the Sunset Forest, leaving no bones behind."
"Now, Elder Ju and Elder Gui have been missing for over a month. They have never been missing for this long before. I'm afraid we need to make plans early."
"Currently, our side is severely lacking in Titled Douluo elders. The subsequent plans will likely be affected to some extent."
Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time before speaking. "I will find a way to address the issue of the Titled Douluo elders' deterrence. The original plan must be carried out. Otherwise, all the effort we put into attacking the two great sects will be wasted."
"Next, proceed according to the original plan. I want the so-called Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects to truly belong to the Spirit Hall. I want the Spirit Hall to truly stand tall and never fall."
Just then, another cardinal delivered a secret report.
After reading the secret report, Bibi Dong's entire face turned somewhat dark.
"I didn't expect that a moment of kindness back then would turn into a disaster. It seems our Spirit Hall's methods are still not ruthless enough."
The cardinal below quickly spoke, "Your Majesty, has something happened?"
Bibi Dong snorted coldly. "The few fish that slipped through the net in Spirit City five years ago have all appeared. Tang San, who performed exceptionally well back then, is now establishing some Tang Sect in the Strength Clan's territory, attempting to manufacture weapons to support the Heaven Dou Imperial Family in resisting our Spirit Hall. It seems we can no longer afford to be lenient."
"The 100,000-year transformed soul beast that escaped back then has actually appeared again at Shrek Academy in Heaven Dou City. Do they think everyone in the soul master world will easily let go of a 100,000-year soul beast?"
"I originally sent Elder Ju and Elder Gui to capture the 100,000-year transformed soul beast. I didn't expect this 100,000-year transformed soul beast to dare to appear openly in Heaven Dou City, and even be with Tang San. I'm afraid things are not that simple."
A hint of confusion appeared on the cardinal's face below. "Your Majesty, could this be related to the disappearance of Elder Ju and Elder Gui?"
Bibi Dong snorted coldly. "Behind Tang San is Tang Hao. If Tang Hao assists the two 100,000-year soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest, even Elder Ju and Elder Gui would find it difficult to cope. If nothing unexpected happened, Elder Ju and Ghost Douluo have likely been killed in the Star Dou Great Forest."
The cardinal below looked extremely angry. "Your Majesty, Elder Ju and Elder Gui cannot die in vain like this. We must make Tang Hao and the others pay the price."
Bibi Dong nodded. "I originally thought Heaven Dou City was short on manpower, but now all the disputes are concentrated in Heaven Dou City. That person's identity is special, and other arrangements are needed. Otherwise, Heaven Dou City is full of variables and danger."
After Bibi Dong finished arranging everything, she went to the Douluo Hall alone.
The Douluo Hall seemed to have gradually returned to calm after a powerful clash of auras, but at the same time, two figures quickly left Spirit City.
The Spirit Hall quickly released news, stating that given the severe damage to the strength of the Upper Three Sects, the annihilation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, and the disappearance of the Clear Sky Sect for countless years, they could no longer serve as the leaders of the soul master world.
Therefore, the Spirit Hall decided to reconvene the Sect Assembly in a year, at which time the seven great sects would be re-elected, and any force in the world could send people to participate.
However, there were very strict requirements for the new sects, not only regarding the number of ordinary soul masters but also regarding the number of experts within the sect.
Furthermore, the Spirit Hall explicitly stated that this move was to stabilize the soul master world and for the peace of the soul master world, with strength being the ultimate criterion.
In addition, the Spirit Hall simultaneously released another piece of news: the 100,000-year transformed soul beast that escaped from Spirit City back then had appeared in Heaven Dou City, calling on all soul masters to jointly kill the 100,000-year soul beast to prevent the infiltration and persecution of humanity by the soul beast race.
As soon as these two pieces of news were released, the entire soul master world erupted.
The Seven Great Sects have always held an incredibly esteemed position in the Soul Master world. Not only were they powerful, but they also wielded immense influence.
Now, with the re-election of the Seven Great Sects, almost all major and minor powers are eager to participate, appearing incredibly excited.
One must understand that becoming one of the Seven Great Sects brings fame throughout the entire Soul Master world. At that time, whether it's the sect's influence or the recruitment of ordinary civilian Soul Masters, there will be a powerful attraction.
Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, despite its extremely formidable strength, had fewer than a thousand true Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters. Even the Clear Sky Sect at its peak had fewer than a thousand Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul Soul Masters.
If other sects also obtain the title of one of the Seven Great Sects, their strength can significantly increase in a short period, and their influence might even far exceed everyone's imagination. These sects can essentially achieve a qualitative leap in strength.
As for the appearance of a 100,000-year transformed soul beast, it has caused even greater excitement.
100,000-year soul rings and soul bones have always been treasures in the Soul Master world, extremely difficult to hunt and even difficult to absorb.
But now, with a 100,000-year transformed soul beast, it can be said to be very easy to kill. Even if the soul ring cannot be absorbed, just the 100,000-year soul bone can greatly enhance one's strength and even improve a Soul Master's cultivation talent.
Following the release of these two pieces of news, countless Soul Masters began to gradually pour into Heaven Dou City, making it appear incredibly chaotic.
After hearing these two pieces of news, Yang Xiong felt a bit strange on one hand, and on the other hand, it felt like a storm was brewing.
Normally, Bibi Dong would hide the news of a 100,000-year transformed soul beast; how could she suddenly deliberately expose it?
One must know that Bibi Dong is determined to obtain 100,000-year soul beasts. The sudden exposure at this moment seems intentional.
On Cloud Mist Mountain, all the elders of the Body Sect gathered together.
Yang Wudi's face showed a hint of indignation: "What does this Spirit Hall mean? They actually want to re-elect the Seven Great Sects. Do they think they can cover the sky with one hand?"
"They suffered such heavy losses in the battle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and they still want to hold this damned Sect Assembly? Are they still not giving up? Do they still want to unify the entire Soul Master world?"
"Although I look down on those people from the Clear Sky Sect, those people from the Clear Sky Sect do have strength. Even if the so-called Upper Three Sects are truly selected, I'm afraid they won't have any strength and will be nothing but weaklings in our eyes."
Yang Xiong smiled: "Elder Yang, you're thinking too much. Spirit Hall has always been ambitious. The so-called Sect Assembly they're holding this time is actually just to claim the Seven Great Sects for themselves. At that time, their reputation will reach its peak, and perhaps there will be other actions?"
Yang Wudi was immediately startled upon hearing this: "Could it be that Spirit Hall wants to use this Sect Assembly to contend with the two empires?"
Yang Xiong nodded: "Spirit Hall's power is indeed vast, and they have secretly won over many kingdoms and duchies. This Sect Assembly is being held in Spirit City. Neither the Clear Sky Sect nor the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would dare to go to Spirit City at this moment."
"At that time, won't they have the final say? The so-called new Seven Great Sects are just their puppets."
Yang Wudi quickly said: "Sect Leader, what should we do? Should we participate in this damned Sect Assembly?"
A hint of coldness appeared on the corner of Yang Xiong's mouth: "Don't worry about them. Spirit Hall's strength has already been damaged, and they still dare to be so presumptuous. It seems their ambition is indeed a bit hard to suppress."
"We just need to do our own thing. Notify Elder Niu Gao to return from Gengxin City as soon as possible. We also need to speed up the construction of our Body Sect."
"Elder Bai He, arrange for half of the Agility Clan's personnel to constantly monitor the movements in Heaven Dou City. I think something big is about to happen in Heaven Dou City, which might affect the entire Douluo Continent's structure."
Everyone was startled again. The two empires have always stood on the entire Douluo Continent, ruling this world for countless years. Although they lack Titled Douluo, their foundation is equally astonishing.
The large number of Soul Masters pouring into Heaven Dou City this time is definitely not as simple as usual.
Lin Gong couldn't help but say: "I feel that the Soul Masters pouring into Heaven Dou City are a bit strange. It seems they are not here to compete for the 100,000-year transformed soul beast. The 100,000-year transformed soul beast is too crucial. Should we make a move this time?"
Yang Xiong shook his head: "What does this have to do with us? Although Xiao Wu and Tang San are my classmates, I can't help them too many times."
"Besides, Tang San has the Clear Sky Sect behind him. Even if we successfully capture Xiao Wu, I'm afraid the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Hao will appear again. Instead of putting in effort for nothing, it's better to let them play by themselves."
"Furthermore, the Clear Sky Sect has been hiding for so long, it's about time to force them out. Otherwise, having only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect among the Upper Three Sects is quite boring."
If the entire Soul Master world was in chaos, then Shrek Academy in Heaven Dou City was at the heart of it all.
Although Liu Erlong and Flander were Soul Douluo, these two were completely unable to stop others from coveting Xiao Wu.
At this moment, Shrek Academy was extremely chaotic and extremely tense. Even Flander felt unprecedented pressure.
Seeing that Shrek Academy seemed to be on the verge of being besieged, Flander immediately contacted his friend Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji also didn't say a word and returned to Shrek Academy to take charge and help.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiong took this opportunity to find Ning Fengzhi, mainly to discuss the situation in Heaven Dou City.
