Chapter 802 Arrangement
Outside the Papal Palace, in the square in front of the palace.
The once bustling holy mountain has now become deserted, with only a few dozen Holy Emperor warriors standing guard at various key positions, and a dozen or so Soul Master teams appearing intermittently to patrol the area.
The square in front of the Papal Palace was also deserted.
At this moment, two figures climbed the mountain and appeared among them.
One of them had an extraordinary bearing and refined demeanor, while the other had an ancient appearance and a body as sharp as a sword.
It was Ning Fengzhi, the current sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and their sect-protecting Douluo Sword Douluo Chenxin.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi walking so slowly, even having the leisure to admire the surrounding scenery, Sword Douluo was furious and urged him, "Fengzhi, hurry up!"
"Go find that woman Bibi Dong right away and tell her to release Rongrong from jail."
"If she dares not let go, I will force my way in and rescue Rongrong myself. Even if it costs me my old bones, Tang Hao can still turn Wuhun City upside down, and my Seven Kill Sword is no less effective."
Ning Fengzhi remained unhurried, but he didn't forget to reach out and stop Sword Douluo, advising, "Uncle Sword, don't worry. Rongrong is just being held captive; she hasn't been mistreated at all. I've already inquired, and she's doing fine inside."
"Besides, what are you comparing yourself to Tang Hao for? He may be powerful and have turned Wuhun City upside down, but what was the result? He lost a leg and a soul bone, and his strength may drop significantly as a result."
"Rumor has it that he absorbed a soul bone into his left leg, which is the inherited soul bone of the Haotian Sect. Now that the soul bone is lost, it will be difficult to explain to the Haotian Sect in the future."
"It seems we need to reconsider our partnership with Tang Hao."
'
Just then, Ning Fengzhi seemed to see something and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Hmm? What are the two young ladies of the Zhu family of the Netherworld Grand Duke's Mansion in the Starfall Empire doing here? It looks like they just came out of the Papal Palace."
"Especially that Miss Zhu, I think her name is Zhu Zhuyun. I heard that after the eldest prince of the Star Luo royal family, Dai, was defeated in the competition, he fled back to the Star Luo Empire in a panic. As Davis's fiancée, why is she still here?"
Ning Fengzhi already knew about Zhu Zhuqing's information; he knew that she had left the Star Luo Empire and joined the Spirit Hall, making her a traitor.
Ning Fengzhi was puzzled by Zhu Zhuyun's continued presence here. Even the usually intelligent and resourceful Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but suspect that something was amiss.
Following Ning Fengzhi's gaze, Sword Douluo looked around and indeed saw the Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing sisters leaving from another direction.
He didn't have any malicious intentions to speculate about anything; he simply mentioned a match in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament: "Speaking of which, I just remembered something interesting."
"During the match between Star Luo Royal Academy and the Spirit Hall's second team, this young lady from the Zhu family once combined her Spirit Fusion Skill—Netherworld White Tiger—with the eldest prince of the Star Luo royal family's Dai family, but unfortunately, she was unable to fully unleash it in the end."
Upon hearing Sword Douluo mention this matter, Ning Fengzhi smiled and suddenly became interested, commenting, "Perhaps they haven't mastered it yet, or perhaps there's a problem with their relationship, resulting in insufficient tacit understanding, so their Martial Soul Fusion Skill naturally cannot be fully unleashed."
"You should know that the prerequisite for releasing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill is that both parties are in sync. If this condition is not met, how can it be performed?"
As Ning Fengzhi spoke, he sighed and smiled slightly, "If this Netherworld White Tiger doesn't integrate well in the future, then things will get interesting."
"That's fine too. Losing one more Spirit Fusion Skill means losing one formidable opponent comparable to a Title Douluo, significantly reducing the pressure on the Heaven Dou Empire..."
'
The Papal Palace, the council chamber.
"Next, I'd like to talk about the arrangements for you individuals and each Soul Master team going forward."
After Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing left, Bibi Dong looked down at Huo Wu, who was dressed in a fiery red dress, and began to make arrangements in a clear and gentle voice: "Huo Wu, the little girl from the Huo clan of Blazing Fire City, you will stay in Wuhun City and cultivate under the guidance of Ling Yuan Douluo. Nihuang is also a fire attribute soul master and a super Douluo. It would be most suitable for her to personally teach you the use of fire attribute soul power and soul skills."
""
"This is something Xiao Feng told me to do as well."
Hearing that she could stay in Wuhun City, and that it was Ye Qifeng's personal arrangement, Huo Wu was overjoyed and felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Before she could respond, Ling Yuan Douluo, who was standing to the side below the platform, rang out with her charming and languid voice: "Little sister Huo Wu, please take care of me."
"I will definitely train you well and cultivate you into a strong person like me. Then I will give Xiaofeng a big surprise."
Huo Wu was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and bowed to Ni Huang: "Yes, yes, thank you, Spirit Kite Douluo. Please give me your guidance. I will definitely work hard and not let you and Feng down."
Nihuang smiled sweetly and said reproachfully, "Why are you being so polite? I'm Xiaofeng's older sister, and you're Xiaofeng's girlfriend. We're sisters, so you can just call me 'older sister'."
Huo Wu blushed slightly and became shy: "Yes, Sister Nihuang."
After the two finished their pleasantries, Bibi Dong continued her instructions, "The rest of you from the Blazing Fire Academy team, return to Blazing Fire City to take up your posts. Join forces with Divine Wind Academy and Elephant Armor Academy to further consolidate the Five Elements Academy's position in the Heaven Dou Empire's capital city, cultivate more Soul Master talents for the Spirit Hall, and monitor every move of the Heaven Dou Empire's capital city. Report any unusual activity immediately."
"As for Thunder Academy, you don't need to worry about it. The Spirit Hall will handle it."
"Huo Wu, after you return, please inform your team leader and your brother of this arrangement. In addition, the Spirit Hall will also issue instructions to Blazing City."
Huo Wu immediately nodded in agreement, mimicking the way Zhu Zhuqing had just left, and affectionately addressed her, "Understood, Pope Sister."
Upon hearing the address "Pope Sister," Bibi Dong paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "That's the arrangement for you and the Blazing Fire Academy team. Go to the side for now. Next up is the Shui Clan of Tianshui City..."
'
As she spoke, Bibi Dong shifted her gaze from Huo Wu to Shui Bing'er beside her: "Shui Bing'er, your situation is special, so for now, you should follow Nihuang and Huo Wu in your cultivation."
"You and Huo Wu have each consumed the immortal herbs Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and Blazing Apricot Blossom, respectively. Thanks to their mutually reinforcing and restraining properties, they coexist and benefit from each other, making their cultivation twice as effective with half the effort."
As for what happens next...
At this point, Bibi Dong paused slightly before continuing, "When the time is right, I will send you to the far north to cultivate."
Hearing that she could stay in Wuhun City like Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er smiled broadly, overjoyed. But upon hearing the last sentence, she was momentarily stunned: "Huh? The far north?"
She knew about the far north, of course. It was one of the three forbidden zones for humans, located in the northern border of the Heaven Dou Empire, and contained extremely powerful soul beasts and extreme cold that ordinary people could not withstand.
The closer you get to the core area of the far north, the closer the temperature will be to that of extreme ice, and even extremely cold substances such as the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow may appear in the core area.
No human would dare touch such a thing, because touching it would mean certain death.
There are even rumors that the number of 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the far north is even greater than that in the Star Dou Great Forest.
After all, the environment there is too harsh, and not many humans dare to venture deep into it.
Only a power like Tianshui Academy, which trains ice-attribute soul masters, needs to hunt ice-attribute soul beasts to absorb soul rings, which is why they form teams to go to the far north. Other soul masters go to Sunset Forest and Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings.
Even so, they only stayed in the outermost area and never dared to go too far in.
Even though her martial soul is now the Ice Phoenix with the ultimate ice attribute, she still doesn't dare to stay there for long. Yet now she's being asked to go there to cultivate.
It was impossible for Shui Bing'er not to be afraid.
Bibi Dong didn't think too much about it, she just nodded and continued, "That's right, you've taken the Immortal-grade Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, and your Martial Soul Ice Phoenix has evolved into the ultimate ice attribute. It's most suitable for you to cultivate in the extremely cold place like the far north."
"Xiao Feng has also made arrangements for this, but there's no rush. We'll send you over after Xiao Feng and I have made the arrangements."
Seemingly only then noticing the panic and fear on Shui Bing'er's face, Bibi Dong finally added a comforting sentence at the end of her sentence: "Don't worry, there will be no danger."
Hearing that it was also Ye Qifeng's arrangement, Shui Bing'er finally felt much relieved. Although she was still a little scared, she still softly replied, "Yes, Pope Sister."
Bibi Dong smiled and continued, "In addition, your Tianshui Academy is skilled in water and all of you are water-type soul masters. After the team graduates, go to Hanhai City, the port city of the Hagen Kingdom, where our Spirit Hall has rebuilt its naval soul master fleet."
"Water-type Soul Masters are even more at ease on water, and they are no weaker than the Sea Soul Masters of the endless ocean in the western part of the continent."
"The naval soul master fleet is currently in a critical period of reconstruction, with many vacancies. It needs the water-type soul master talents trained by your Tianshui Academy to fill important positions. Everyone has the opportunity to display their talents and ambitions, and we will definitely not let you down."
After making arrangements for Shui Bing'er and Tianshui Academy, Bibi Dong then made corresponding arrangements for Dugu Yan, Ye Lengleng, Meng Yiran, and the seven girls of the Spirit Hall's second team.
Fortunately, all the girls present were able to stay in Wuhun City and joined the Wuhun Special Forces formed by Ye Qifeng.
Both Ye Lengling and Meng Yiran have their own family power behind them—the Ye family of Nine Heart Begonia and the Dragon and Snake Mansion of the Barak Kingdom.
The Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia is renowned for its medical practice and medicinal herb business, possessing considerable commercial influence. Begonia Soul Masters are especially valuable healing-type Soul Masters, and such talents are always welcome. Naturally, the Spirit Hall would not let them go.
The Dragon and Snake Manor of the Barak Kingdom is equally important. Not to mention the Soul Masters they control, the massive amount of food they possess is something the Spirit Hall absolutely must control.
After all, the most fertile grain-producing area of the Heavenly Dou Empire—the Lima Plain—is located there.
Food is the most important thing for people. In this world, whether you are an ordinary person or a soul master, you can't do without food.
Food is the foundation of confidence and the guarantee of security.
With food, even if the Douluo Continent is destroyed in the future, it can be rebuilt and quickly recover.
Dugu Yan did not have a powerful Soul Master force behind her, but she had a grandfather, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who was a Title Douluo-level expert. This one super strongman with "poison" as his title was enough to be worth thousands of troops.
Therefore, Bibi Dong's decision to leave Ye Lingling, Meng Yiran, and Dugu Yan in Wuhun City was well-considered and not unfounded.
Even knowing that these girls were entangled with her beloved disciple, she could tolerate it all, all for the sake of that goal.
"Alright, now that things have been settled, you may all leave. Nihuang, you will be in charge of arranging the specific details."
When everything was arranged, just as Bibi Dong was about to have everyone leave the council hall, a deep voice suddenly rang out from outside the heavy doors of the council hall. He used his soul power to transmit his voice and asked, "Your Holiness the Pope, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and His Holiness the Sword Douluo request an audience."
"Let them in."
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, seemingly annoyed, but after thinking for a moment, she decided to agree. Her voice was cold and extremely authoritative, completely different from her previous friendliness.
After saying that, she turned to look at the group of young girls below and instructed them, "Follow Nihuang through the side door and don't run into them."
Nihuang bowed silently, and the other girls followed suit, remaining silent as they turned and left with her through the side door of the council hall.
Not long after, the doors of the council hall opened with a loud bang, and Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, led by the guards, slowly walked in from outside the doors.
Ning Fengzhi spoke first, bowing slightly to Bibi Dong above the platform: "Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Sword Douluo stood as upright as ever, like a sharp sword piercing the sky. Even when facing the most authoritative female pope of the Spirit Hall in the current soul master world, he refused to bend his waist even slightly. He merely nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Sword Douluo Chen Xin."
95
The two then said in unison, "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."
Bibi Dong merely raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone devoid of any emotion, utterly cold and chilling, as she asked, "I wonder what business Sect Leader Ning and Sword Douluo have with my Papal Palace?"
Hearing this chilling question, Ning Fengzhi felt a wave of discomfort wash over him, a coldness creeping through his body. If it weren't for Sword Douluo being there, he really wouldn't want to face this woman whose strength was unknown.
"I wouldn't presume to offer advice, but there is something I need to trouble Your Holiness with."
In the blink of an eye, Ning Fengzhi changed his address to Bibi Dong from "Your Holiness the Pope" to "Your Majesty the Pope," demonstrating that he is an eloquent and flexible person with a flexible bottom line.
However, Bibi Dong remained unmoved, firmly maintaining her high position, her tone cold and indifferent, looking down at him as she asked, "Oh? What is it?"
