If they didn't want to die, they had no choice but to obediently follow orders.
Otherwise, if the time comes for the poison to fully manifest and there is no medicine provided by Dugu Bo to suppress it, then they can only obediently wait to die.
"Let's go, Ghost Leopard and Spirit Kite, come into the city with me."
"Also, get rid of those corpses; they're an eyesore."
The Spirit Hall's fierce sneak attack was so easily thwarted.
Back at the Prince's Mansion, Ye Rong and Gu Yi had been waiting for a long time.
Just as they were about to ask what was going on, they immediately understood when they saw Ghost Leopard Douluo and Spirit Kite Douluo behind Lin Chuan.
"Aunt Ye, the Soul Masters sent by the Spirit Hall have all been taken prisoner and are currently outside the city. Please send someone to make arrangements for them!"
Ye Rong nodded gently, "I'll go there myself later!"
"Alright, let's talk about the specific arrangements of the Spirit Hall now!"
Lin Chuan's gaze returned to Ghost Leopard Douluo and Spirit Kite Douluo.
"Tell me everything you know, but remember not to lie, or things will get very unpleasant if I find out."
Hearing this, the two felt a pang of bitterness in their hearts.
The previous compromise could be attributed to coercion, but if the Spirit Hall's plans are leaked now, that would be a true betrayal.
If the Spirit Hall wins later, they will definitely settle scores later.
Those two will definitely not have an easy time then.
It seems there's no other way, not to mention that I'm going to die right now.
All they can do now is pray that the Spirit Hall will ultimately fail, so that they won't have to worry about being purged by the Spirit Hall.
"The orders to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, and Snowfield City were issued jointly by His Holiness the Pope and the High Priest, with the aim of weakening the power of the major Soul Master forces."
"Aside from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan being destroyed, the four lower sects have all surrendered to the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall's next target is the major spirit master families and spirit master academies."
"Furthermore, His Holiness the Pope is searching for a 100,000-year-old soul beast, intending to complete the soul rings of his two martial souls. The day he completes this task may be the day he launches a full-scale attack on the two great empires."
That's all we know...
Lingyuan Douluo very sensibly told everything he knew.
The content was exactly the same as what Lin Chuan remembered.
However, when these words reached the ears of Dugu Bo and the others, they couldn't help but show surprise.
"Have all four lower sects submitted? The Spirit Hall's methods are truly unexpected!"
Of the original seven major sects on the mainland, the Clear Sky Sect has gone into seclusion and its whereabouts are unknown, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has suffered considerable losses and is now hiding in the Heaven Dou City, the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Clan has been wiped out, and the Lower Four Sects have been taken over by the Spirit Hall.
In other words, almost all of the top Soul Master forces on the continent have been rendered useless.
The Spirit Hall can truly be described as having achieved a monopoly!
"It seems that the Spirit Hall has grand ambitions this time, and they will not give up until they achieve their goal!" Gu Yi said in a deep voice.
Lin Chuan smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, the Spirit Hall also suffered heavy losses in this battle. They will definitely not dare to make any rash moves before Bibi Dong obtains all the spirit rings."
"Keep a close eye on the Spirit Hall's movements. If they dare to come again, then we'll take them all in."
……
Pope's Palace.
Pope Bibidon put down her tea and listened quietly to the report from the cardinal in front of her.
"Your Holiness, in the battle against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we dispatched 10,000 Soul Masters, including more than 1,000 disciples from the four lower sects. We successfully broke through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's castle defenses, but at least more than 1,000 outer sect disciples were killed in action."
"However, Ning Fengzhi had transferred most of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School members to Heaven Dou City in advance. In addition, Sword Douluo stayed behind, and Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi provided timely support. Their strength far exceeded our expectations, and in the end, we were still stopped by them."
"Our side also suffered heavy casualties, with at least two thousand people dying in that battle and more than two thousand wounded. We had to retreat temporarily for fear of being surrounded by the Tiandou City garrison."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong could no longer remain calm.
With a loud bang, the teacup in her hand was instantly crushed into powder.
"A bunch of useless trash, who had the advantage of timing, location, and popular support, yet suffered losses far exceeding their opponents. Is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really that powerful?"
A furious voice echoed throughout the Papal Palace.
All the high-ranking officials present kept their heads down, not daring to make a sound, for fear of getting themselves into trouble and being used as a target for venting their anger.
After a while, Bibi Dong gradually calmed down.
She looked coldly at the cardinal in charge of the report, "Continue!"
"Yes!"
The cardinal quickly responded, his voice trembling slightly, "On another battlefield, our Spirit Hall dispatched eight thousand men to launch a surprise attack on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The attack was not detected beforehand, catching them completely off guard. All members of the clan were slaughtered, and not a single one escaped."
"We lost three thousand men, but Elder Demon Bear was also seriously injured and is currently recuperating."
"Excellent, excellent, truly worthy of being called a top-tier sect! They actually caused my Spirit Hall to lose over five thousand people. I really should praise them!"
Bibi Dong was clearly not very satisfied with this result.
"How's the situation in Snowfield City?"
After a moment of silence, Bibi Dong asked again.
The cardinal, forcing a smile, replied, "Your Holiness, there is no news coming back yet, but with several dignitaries assisting, it should be..."
However, before he could finish speaking, a figure rushed into the Papal Palace.
With a thud, the newcomer knelt down on the ground, his voice filled with fear and unease.
"Your Holiness, we have news of the force that went to attack Snowfield City... they..."
"What happened to them? Tell me!"
Bibi Dong's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately sensed something was wrong.
Sure enough, bad news arrived the next moment.
"Your Holiness, the entire team heading to Snowfield City has been captured, and we can no longer contact the Martial Soul Branch Hall in the city."
"How can it be?!"
Bibi Dong's face was filled with disbelief.
It should be noted that the team sent to Snowfield City was far more powerful than those that attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Rex, even going so far as to send a Super Douluo from the Hall of Worship.
To everyone, this seemed almost a certainty.
Even if Lin Chuan possesses powerful soul skills, he absolutely could not possibly cause any trouble when facing four Super Douluo at once.
But the result is completely opposite to what they expected.
"Where are the elders? Weren't they with us? Didn't a battle break out there?"
"This……"
The person's lips twitched slightly, and their expression showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Answer me!" Bibi Dong's voice was icy, and her aura was already faintly visible.
"Please forgive us, Your Holiness, all the Soul Masters who went to Snowfield City to gather intelligence have lost contact. Even this little bit of news was only sent back by one of them by sheer luck."
"However, according to him, there were no signs of battle outside Snowfield City."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression grew even more gloomy.
"Does that mean that a total of 6,000 Soul Masters were sent, including four Elders and two Venerables, and they were captured without even a fight?"
His words contained an unspeakable rage, as if they were about to erupt completely at any moment.
"Boom!"
The vast majority of the Spirit Hall's high-ranking officials present knelt down simultaneously, their bodies trembling slightly, their foreheads pressed against the ground.
Just then, a voice rang out from behind Bibi Dong.
"Teacher, please don't be angry. The most important thing now is to find out the situation in Snowfield City and determine whether the elders and patrons are still alive."
"At the same time, we must be wary of the two great empires resorting to desperate measures and continue to accumulate strength."
The speaker was Hu Liena, who had been standing behind Bibi Dong.
Since being established as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she has been working alongside Bibi Dong to handle various affairs of the Spirit Hall.
Only her beloved disciple has spoken so far.
Upon hearing these words, Bibi Dong took a deep breath and barely managed to suppress her anger.
"Didn't you hear me? Get out there and investigate! If you can't bring back any information within three days, you're not coming back!"
"As ordered!"
The visitor quickly responded, got up, and hurriedly left.
"How are things going with Elder Ju and Elder Gui?" Bibi Dong asked again.
The cardinal replied tremblingly, "Your Holiness, we have not yet received any news. The Starry Sky Forest is exceptionally vast, and the two elders may need some time to search."
"Report immediately upon receiving any news."
