Everyone was stunned. Killing a god? This...
Every time Ye Yu spoke, it shocked them. Originally, they thought it was impossible, but this time they held back and decided to listen to what Ye Yu had to say.
A level ninety-nine is naturally hard to find; perhaps by then Qian Daoliu might have already sacrificed for the sake of his granddaughter's ascension.
As for himself, he would definitely have a life-and-death battle with Bibi Dong in the future, and by then, Bibi Dong should have also become a god.
So reaching level ninety-nine is tough, but one might encounter a god, which is why he spoke as he did.
Ye Yu did not explain further: "You'll know when the time comes."
Though astonished, Elder Qi was naturally pleased because, in his view, this was impossible.
Elder Qi chuckled inwardly: "Hmph, boast all you want, but bear the consequences yourself."
The direct disciples discussed incessantly, believing that what Ye Yu proposed was impossible to achieve.
...
At this time, in the Martial Soul Hall.
Those previously tasked with secretly surveying the mountain region near the Vast Heaven Sect had returned.
The Bishop was perplexed about why Bibi Dong had ordered their retreat.
"Your Holiness the Pope, won't we continue the survey? The Soul Hunting Operation might have been noticed by the Vast Heaven Sect, but even if they have, it doesn't matter because we won't use surprise attacks. Since we can't launch a surprise attack, we need to survey the terrain to prepare for the Soul Hunting Operation a month later."
"Your Holiness the Pope, I heard that Ye Yu went to the Vast Heaven Sect. Is it because of Ye Yu again?"
The Bishop thought this might be the case. Previously, Ye Yu went to the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect, and Bibi Dong changed her mind. Now, he has gone to the Vast Heaven Sect, prompting a retreat; is she so afraid of Ye Yu's father?
Bibi Dong said blandly, "I have my reasons; there's no need to question further."
One bishop mustered the courage to say: "If Ye Yu goes to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan later, should we also change our plans and directly cancel the Soul Hunting Operation?"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's face darkened, and the Bishop trembled but held firm.
His words were somewhat reasonable. After all, Ye Yu's teacher is Yu Xiaogang, and he knows Liu Erlong. Although he has no ties with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, Liu Erlong is from that clan, and Yu Xiaogang, although estranged, probably still has feelings for them.
Bibi Dong said: "No need to question further; I will handle it when the time comes."
Bibi Dong left directly, heading for the Martial Soul Hall. Once inside, she opened a secret chamber and entered, walking a hundred meters along the passage to arrive before a giant stone door.
"Great Tributor, I have something to discuss with you."
Inside the stone door, Qian Daoliu was in seclusion.
Qian Daoliu's voice came through: "Didn't I say before? I am in seclusion to consolidate my strength."
"This is a very important matter, concerning whether the Martial Soul Hall can rule the entire continent in the future."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu, pretending to be in seclusion, asked, "What is it?"
"I hope you will agree."
Qian Daoliu first asked, "What is it? If it has nothing to do with that Ye Yu, I can agree."
After speaking, Qian Daoliu quickly added: "Of course, it's not that I fear Ye Yu, nor do I fear his father, but I prefer not to clash with them."
Bibi Dong sighed: "Alas, perhaps a clash is inevitable."
"Hmm? What is it?" Qian Daoliu frowned.
"The Soul Hunting Operation is set to start a month later. We originally planned to attack the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect first, but Ye Yu appeared, and he is closely associated with them, so I changed the sequence. We're attacking the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan first while concurrently surveying the terrain around Vast Heaven Sect. But yesterday, the scout noticed Ye Yu at Vast Heaven Sect, so I ordered the scouts to retreat."
Qian Daoliu frowned: "Is this a coincidence or…?"
"The Soul Hunting Operation is only known to the upper echelons of the Martial Soul Hall; it should be impossible for him to know. An attack on the Vast Heaven Sect cannot be a surprise; it will surely become known. So even if he's not at the Vast Heaven Sect at the time, he may go there. As for the other two targets, we can employ sudden attacks, but Ye Yu also has some connections to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan through his teacher Yu Xiaogang, who has been at Lanba Academy."
Qian Daoliu asked: "Why did Ye Yu go to the Vast Heaven Sect?"
"At first, I thought he went with Tang San, but according to the scouts, he mentioned a person named Tang Yin, not Tang San. Although Tang Hao has left the Vast Heaven Sect, if the Vast Heaven Sect is in trouble, he would definitely step in, and naturally so would Tang San. Needless to say, Ye Yu would also go."
Qian Daoliu frowned, now understanding. In short, when the Soul Hunting Operation begins, a confrontation with Ye Yu is very likely. Of course, it's not Ye Yu's strength that concerns them, but whether the Apocalypse Black Dragon would emerge if Ye Yu encounters danger during the fight.
"I understand what you mean. You want me to deal with the Apocalypse Black Dragon?"
Bibi Dong nodded: "Yes, otherwise others will start to question. Although I said the Apocalypse Black Dragon is stronger than Tang Hao, changing plans repeatedly will make them doubt the truth of my claims. Great Tributor, please intervene then. I will assess the situation first; if Ye Yu is at the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect, we'll attack the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan in a surprise attack. If Ye Yu is at the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, we'll quickly attack the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect. If he's at neither, all the better."
Bibi Dong continued: "So initially, we may or may not encounter him. But attacking the Vast Heaven Sect carries a high likelihood of encounter because the Vast Heaven Sect's complex terrain makes a surprise attack impossible, and given the Vast Heaven Sect's strength, a swift conclusion to the battle is also unlikely. It should last several days; even if Ye Yu isn't there at first, he will come by then. If Tang Hao returns, leave it to me. If Ye Yu's father, the Apocalypse Black Dragon, appears, then it's up to you to hold him off. Still, I believe the chances of the Apocalypse Black Dragon appearing are slim."
Within his heart, Qian Daoliu felt heavy, and he asked, "Last time, when you encountered him, how strong was he? Tell me in detail."
Bibi Dong nodded and naturally recounted what really happened back then.
When the Apocalypse descended, aside from them and Ye Yu, everyone else fainted. Just a light toe tap on the ground, and the entire Martial Soul City was destroyed. Facing the overwhelming presence of the Apocalypse Black Dragon, they felt incredibly pressured and were easily blasted away one by one.
Subsequently, they endured humiliation, kowtowed, and then quickly fled...
Listening to this, Qian Daoliu was aghast. It was terrifying.
He had initially assumed that the Apocalypse Black Dragon must have been partly restrained, yet he did not imagine it to be so terrifying.
Qian Daoliu sighed softly: "At the time, we thought he was dead, having faced the tenth Celestial Tribulation, a god, as well as Martial Soul Hall's Titled Douluos above level ninety-five. Yet, he was so formidable even before succeeding in Crossing the Tribulation. To Xunji and me, he was like a child; now, he might have become a god, and even if he cannot exert full power now, he is still extremely terrifying."
Qian Daoliu fell silent. To be honest, he did not want to go.
Encountering the Apocalypse Black Dragon, even he, felt like an egg hitting a boulder. Moreover, he had already made a decision within his heart, possibly to sacrifice for his granddaughter Qianren Xue, to help her become a god in the future.
So, he was not afraid of death. Although he feared the Apocalypse Black Dragon, he was not afraid to die; it was just that he couldn't afford to die right now.
Qian Daoliu refused: "Unexpectedly, even if it's not in full force, it's still so terrifying. Accordingly, even I… Your Holiness the Pope, I won't go by then."
Bibi Dong frowned, trying to persuade him: "But I think the Apocalypse Black Dragon might not appear again, as at the time everyone thought him dead, severely injured like that; it's impossible to recover now. His earlier descent must have cost him greatly, and he won't appear again in the short term."
"Bibi Dong, although unlikely, there's never a hundred percent certainty, especially considering it's the Apocalypse Black Dragon. I am not afraid of death; do you think I continue to remain in seclusion because I fear him?"
Bibi Dong really wanted to nod and say yes! But saying so would be inappropriate.
Qian Daoliu sighed softly: "You will understand in the future, and right now, I cannot die."
Helplessly, Bibi Dong had no choice but to leave.
