Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 186 Abolition of the Pope

Upon learning that Bibi Dong wanted to establish a new Spirit Hall within the Star Luo Empire, Tang Xiao was somewhat worried, but also secretly pleased.

In just over a year, the Clear Sky Sect lost four elders at the Title Douluo level.

This was a huge blow to them, severely damaging their strength and vitality.

Given the Spirit Empire's rapid offensive, it won't be long before it swallows up the entire Star Luo Empire.

With war looming, the Haotian Sect had no choice but to fight for the empire.

This would result in even more serious casualties.

With Bibi Dong joining, they could have a chance to catch their breath.

Therefore, Tang Xiao also supported Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's decision.

~~~~~~~

On the other side, in Wuhun City.

Upon learning of Bibi Dong's actions, Qian Daoliu quickly summoned the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall.

Everyone unanimously decided to abolish Bibidon's papacy.

This decision caused a huge uproar. Many Soul Masters loyal to Bibi Dong fled Wuhun City overnight, including many Soul Douluo-level powerhouses.

Fortunately, Qian Daoliu had made preparations in advance and left behind two elders, Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

~~~~~~~~

After capturing the first city of the Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Empire did not stop its advance.

After a brief rest, under the leadership of Qian Renxue and Xiao Han, the army of the Martial Soul Empire advanced triumphantly and captured two more cities of the Star Luo Empire.

Now, the Star Luo Emperor was truly panicked.

He quickly sought out Yu Xiaogang and agreed to allow Bibi Dong to establish a new Spirit Hall within the Star Luo Empire, and even gave her a city.

This city is located in the province of McGrath, not far from Xingluo City, only about two hundred miles away.

Although this is dangerous, it can protect Xingluo City in the event of an enemy attack.

After meeting and discussing matters with Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang gathered the Shrek Seven Devils together.

Two of the Shrek Seven Devils have left, leaving only Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.

Yu Xiaogang looked at everyone and said:

"Children, I am about to leave Star Luo City to help Bibi Dong establish a new Spirit Hall in Maikang City. Although Bibi Dong was once our enemy and did many things to hurt us, I have to do this in order to avenge Flander, Erlong, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and those who died because of Xiao Han and Qian Renxue."

Tang San said:

"Teacher, I'll go with you."

"Master, I'll go too," Xiao Wu added.

Tang San frowned.

Xiao Wu is, after all, a soul beast with over 100,000 years of cultivation.

Keeping her by Bibi Dong's side would be extremely dangerous.

However, Tang San was even more worried about leaving her alone in Xingluo City.

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly to Tang San.

"Xiao San, I know you've always been worried about Xiao Wu. Take her with you. With me here, Bibi Dong won't hurt her."

"Um."

Ma Hongjun said:

"Master, please take me with you. I'm getting quite bored in Star Luo City now that you've all left."

After Oscar's death, Ma Hongjun tried to win Ning Rongrong's favor, hoping to take care of her in Oscar's place.

But Ning Rongrong didn't appreciate it.

Moreover, Ning Fengzhi also looked down on Ma Hongjun.

If Tang San leaves, Ma Hongjun will only make a fool of himself if he stays in Xingluo City; it would be better for them to leave together.

Yu Xiaogang nodded.

"Alright, you can come with us too, that way we can look out for each other."

Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong and asked:

"Rongrong, where are you?"

Ning Rongrong's tears welled up in her eyes.

"Xiao Wu, I also want to go with you, but I have a mission to carry on my family's legacy, unlike you who are so free. I have to stay in the sect."

Yu Xiaogang nodded and said:

"Rongrong is right. She can't go with us. Staying at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the safest option."

Xiao Wu then looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhuqing, what about you?"

"I'll go with you."

Dai Mubai's death deeply saddened Zhu Zhuqing.

She didn't want to stay in this sad place either.

"Rongrong, you're staying in Xingluo City alone, so take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry, it's not far away. If I miss you, I'll come to see you."

"Okay, it's a deal then."

The next day, Tang San and his companions said goodbye to Ning Rongrong and then followed Yu Xiaogang to Maikang City.

Inside McConnell City, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

There was originally a branch of the Spirit Hall here.

After Qian Renxue took over the Heaven Dou Empire, she officially became an enemy of the Star Luo Empire, and the people from the Spirit Hall branch also withdrew in advance.

Although this branch hall is far inferior to the Papal Palace in Wuhun City, it is still a decent temporary place to stay.

Upon arriving at the location, Tang San and his companions encountered three familiar faces.

They are Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, the most outstanding young soul masters in the Spirit Hall, and hailed as the three geniuses of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

In the final three-way battle of the Soul Master Competition, Tang San led the Shrek Academy team to victory over the Spirit Hall Academy team.

At that time, they used poison to win.

However, they all eventually fell at the feet of Tianshui Academy, led by Xiao Han.

After their defeat in the Soul Master Competition, the three of them trained in Death Valley and made considerable progress.

However, unexpectedly, the Spirit Hall underwent a dramatic change.

Hu Liena was always groomed by Bibi Dong as her successor.

For Hu Liena, Bibi Dong was both a mentor and a mother figure, giving her meticulous care.

Therefore, no matter what decision Bibi Dong makes, she will follow her steadfastly.

As Hu Liena's brother, Xie Yue would naturally support his sister's decision.

Yan grew up with them and they were inseparable for many years, sharing a deep bond. He also had feelings for Hu Liena.

Therefore, all three of them went to Bibi Dong.

The three walked towards Tang San and his group.

Hu Liena smiled and said:

"I never expected to run into you here. We used to be rivals, even enemies. But from now on, we are friends on the same side."

Tang San smiled and replied:

"We were brought together by a common enemy. Now we share a common goal; let bygones be bygones."

Just then, Bibi Dong walked towards them.

"I am very pleased to see that you can put aside past grievances and face the challenges of the future together. This is exactly the unity and trust we need. Very good, you are all excellent and the future of the new Spirit Hall."

As Bibi Dong spoke, her gaze swept over the group of people before finally settling on Xiao Wu.

She saw a hint of hostility in Xiao Wu's eyes.

"Xiao Wu, I am very sorry for your mother's death. As you know, it is the law of nature for Soul Masters to hunt Soul Beasts. However, now that you have transformed into human form through cultivation and are one of Xiao Gang's most valued students, I will no longer have any thoughts about you. This is my promise to you, and I hope you can let down your guard."
