—------------------—
Qiu Tian and the others left one by one, leaving only Xiao Mu in the Abyss Plane.
At this moment, the first clash between the Dragon God's Soul and the Abyss Saint King officially began.
The Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd fell heavily, while the nine elements of the Dragon God's Soul converged to meet it.
Boom!
The enormous sound echoed throughout this plane, and the aftershocks of the battle even affected several other planes above and below, causing the Abyss Plane to tremble.
Xiao Mu was not far from the battle, so the impact of the attack was even stronger.
Soul power, soul force, and the devouring vortex of the Void Devouring Flame formed three different defenses, tightly protecting Xiao Mu.
Even so, the last defensive vortex of devouring energy still twisted and contorted, but it managed to hold on.
Xiao Mu had been paying close attention to the battle. In the first exchange, the Dragon God's Soul and the Abyss Saint King seemed to be evenly matched, but Xiao Mu could still tell that the Dragon God's Soul was actually at a disadvantage.
After all, the Dragon God's soul was too incomplete, and the increase in soul power alone could not restore its strength much.
Moreover, the Abyss Saint Lord is the master of the Abyss Plane and can receive the Abyss Plane's bonuses. In addition, he also possesses the super artifact, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, which greatly amplifies his strength.
However, the Dragon God's Soul cannot fight for long periods of time; defeat is inevitable if the battle drags on.
However, Xiao Mu's goal was not to defeat the Abyss Saint King. After the other souls returned to the Myriad Soul Banner and brought back the materials he needed, Xiao Mu lost interest in continuing to entangle with the Abyss Saint King.
The phantom of the Dragon God returned swiftly, but the Abyss Saint King clearly did not want to let Xiao Mu go.
"They've all left, you have to stay for me."
If he were to personally take action and still fail to capture even a single human, the Abyss Saint King would have completely lost face. It doesn't matter who else is around; he's determined to capture Xiao Mu, and no one can stop him.
But just as he was rapidly pursuing them, a black sea of fire suddenly erupted, distorting the entire space.
Although the Abyss Saint was caught off guard, he reacted quickly, his abyssal energy densely enveloping him as he tried to force his way out.
But just then, a silent fluctuation came, and Xiao Mu activated his soul power.
This Soul Tide attack swept towards the Abyss Saint King like a tsunami.
At the same time, the Dragon God's Soul, which was originally flying towards the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, also arrived in the black sea of fire at some point, spewing out nine-colored elemental light pillars, also targeting the Abyss Saint King.
"Get out of my way."
A surge of emotions coursed through the Abyss Saint King's mind, and Xiao Mu's soul power momentarily clouded his brain.
The Abyss Saint King possessed keen perception, not to mention the Abyss Plane that warned him. However, due to the devouring and obstruction of the Void Devouring Flame, his warning was delayed by a second, and he failed to detect the Dragon God's Soul's counterattack.
So, just as he recovered from the shock in his mind, he was met head-on by the elemental attack of the dragon god's phantom.
The commotion of this clash was even greater than before. The place where the Abyss Saint King was located shattered inch by inch, the parched land was broken beyond recognition, and the already apocalyptic environment became even worse.
"Cough cough~"
The black flames vanished, the elements dissipated, and the somewhat disheveled Abyss Saint emerged from the surging abyssal energy and the dust filling the air.
He looked up, but Xiao Mu had already disappeared.
"Damn humans."
The Abyss Saint King roared to the heavens.
Xiao Mu's departure finally broke the Abyss Saint King's composure. He used all the authority of the entire plane to stop him and even took action himself, but this was the result. How could he accept it?
Not to mention that before Xiao Mu left, he gave him a hard blow, which, although not very damaging, was extremely humiliating.
When has the Holy Lord of the Abyss ever suffered such humiliation?
However, even with all his perception, he could not detect any spatial traces of Xiao Mu's departure, and he had no way of pinpointing where Xiao Mu had gone.
...
Abyss Battleground, Teleportation Hall.
It wasn't just Qian Renxue and her group that returned; many Soul Masters who sensed powerful fluctuations in the Abyss Plane chose to return immediately.
You can earn points anytime, but you only have one life.
When Qian Renxue returned, she glanced around and spotted Bibi Dong, then turned away seemingly indifferently.
Bibi Dong's feelings were complicated. She didn't even care about Yue Guan and Gui Mei who had returned, and left the teleportation hall directly.
Qian Renxue's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly before returning to calm.
"Young Master, shall we leave now?"
"wait."
Qian Renxue didn't see Xiao Mu's figure. As his subordinate, what would it mean for her to leave now?
However, it wasn't long before Xiao Mu was teleported back.
"Lord of the Palace."
"Lord, are you alright?"
Qiu Tian and the others thought Xiao Mu would come back with them, but they didn't expect him to be delayed for so long. They almost couldn't resist going back to kill him.
"I'm fine," Xiao Mu waved his hand.
"Bibi Dong is gone?"
Xiao Mu asked Qian Renxue.
When Xiao Mu looked over, the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo immediately stood in front of Qian Renxue.
Whether Xiao Mu mentioned Bibi Dong's name or asked Qian Renxue, it filled the Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo with immense fear.
This means that the Soul Palace recognized His Holiness the Pope and also knew the young master's identity. This is outrageous!
Although the Spirit Hall has never directly clashed with the Soul Hall, they all regard the Soul Hall as the Spirit Hall's greatest enemy, and believe that the Soul Hall views the Spirit Hall in the same way.
Now that the young master's identity has been exposed, isn't he in danger?
"Get out of the way."
They were watching Xiao Mu with extreme vigilance when they heard Qian Renxue's voice behind them.
"Young Master."
"Get out of my way, the Palace Master won't hurt me."
"This is."
Although they didn't know where the young master's confidence came from, the two still chose to move aside.
If the Soul Hall really intends to take action against the Young Master, their combined efforts will be of little use.
After all, when such a terrifying abyss expert appeared just now, both of them could feel that they had no power to resist, but they were blocked by the giant dragon that Xiao Mu created.
"Thank you for saving my life, Lord Palace Master."
Although Qian Renxue chose to go there because of the commotion caused by Xiao Mu and the others, saving her life was also a real reason. Without Xiao Mu, she definitely wouldn't have been able to leave.
"That woman left as soon as she came out."
Bibi Dong's silent departure left Qian Renxue feeling numb, but also relieved.
After all, it's hard to say what the consequences would be if Bibi Dong recklessly attacked Gui Mei and Yue Guan, who were already members of the Soul Palace.
Xiao Mu simply nodded in agreement. As long as Bibi Dong didn't stray too far, Xiao Mu could find her if he spent some time.
"Lord, leave that woman to me. I guarantee she won't cause any harm to the Soul Palace."
Are you sure?
"I guarantee it with my life," Qian Renxue said resolutely.
At least while Bibi Dong was still the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue couldn't let her go mad and implicate the Spirit Hall, especially her and her grandfather.
If Bibi Dong could be the Pope, why couldn't she be?
He can be replaced!
