Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 66 The Power of Expediency

Dai Hao, who has been firmly in fourth place, has developed a keen intuition due to his many years of military service.

With a dignified and serious expression, he uttered a rare, less harsh remark.

"Little friend Beibei, have we met before? I feel like your gaze is mostly on me."

What emotions I felt in my heart, I will leave aside for now.

At least on the surface, Beibei remained calm and harmonious.

"Never seen it before."

"But I am close to your son, Dai Yueheng, as classmates."

"He's in the Shrek Academy's rest area. Why don't you call him up so you can meet him?"

Dai Hao rejected his proposal outright without even considering it.

"No."

"This is a matter of state, why summon Yaoheng here? What kind of decorum is this?"

Seemingly preoccupied with national affairs, Dai Hao's next sentence steered the conversation away from the main topic.

"The reason we invited you here is because of Elder Mu's plan to eliminate the evil soul masters within the original three kingdoms of the continent. We have named it 'Operation Soul Hunting'."

"Because Elder Mu said that your ultimate light has a miraculous effect on discovering hidden evil spirit masters."

"So..." At this point, Dai Hao turned to look at the rulers of the two great empires, Tianhun and Douling.

After receiving confirmation, he continued, "This Soul Hunting Operation will revolve around you."

"The three kingdoms of Tianhun, Douling, and Xingluo will jointly grant you the authority to act as you see fit."

"You are in full command of this operation."

"The operation will last until one week after the conclusion of this Soul Fighting Tournament."

"Once this matter is successfully completed, the three great empires will grant you one wish within their power."

Beibei: "..."

Who's in command?!

I?!

Filled with astonishment and speculation, he looked at his ancestor and received a nod of approval and a thumbs-up.

For a young person to undertake such a major project involving the Three Kingdoms period, their own abilities are one aspect, but the endorsement of influential figures is an even more important one.

All I can say is that he truly lives up to his reputation as a younger version of Xuanzu, acting with a bold and decisive style.

Apart from the fact that he was the one who carried out the executor, the basic situation was pretty much as Beibei had expected.

Operation Soul Hunt can be seen as an operation to clean up one's own house.

The Ming Dou defense line was built, and Soul Masters were recruited to unleash an ultimate rain of light within the three kingdoms.

Centered on Tiandou City where he resides, it produces Ultimate Light Element Crystals, which radiate outwards to three countries.

Several low-level Soul Master teams from various countries were drawn from the military. Most of them were flying Soul Masters or proficient in using Soul Guidance Devices. There was one Soul Venerable, two Great Soul Masters, and five Soul Masters.

The primary task is to artificially create an extreme light elemental rain, discover the evil spirit master, and report it to higher authorities.

Secondary task: Clean up the battlefield and prevent the spread of evil contamination.

There are several mid-level Soul Master teams from various countries, including one Soul Emperor, two Soul Kings, and five Soul Grandmasters.

Their primary mission is to eliminate, within their capabilities, the hideouts of evil soul masters discovered by low-level soul master teams.

In addition, each of the three kingdoms also has a high-level Soul Master team, consisting of one Title Douluo, two Soul Douluos, and five Soul Saints.

An emergency backup, specifically for handling the remaining, most difficult tasks.

After receiving a temporary high-ranking position, Beibei embarked on her journey as a new official.

I came here to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament, but now I can't even watch the matches, let alone participate in them.

For the latter half of the entire Soul Fighting Tournament, he stayed in the magnificent Royal Office Building, receiving information from all over the continent.

It must be said that over the years, the Holy Spirit Cult has planted quite a few spies in the original three kingdoms of the continent.

The sheer volume of information uploaded by various low-level Soul Master teams speaks volumes.

What evil spirit master hiding in a remote village, what collusion between officials and bandits, only to find that the "bandit" was actually an evil spirit master, and a sixth-ring evil spirit master at that, and in the end it was a team of high-level spirit masters who sent people to deal with him.

These are just a few examples.

Although the quantity is large, it is not mixed.

Evil spirit masters are basically like rats that everyone hates. They have very few complex and deeply entrenched forces, since nobody wants to get involved with them.

Most of the time, it's a one-size-fits-all approach: kill them and be done with it. If they can't kill them, they'll call in reinforcements to kill them too.

Everything proceeded smoothly until the end of the Soul Fighting Tournament was approaching.

Beibei received a text message that made him frown repeatedly.

Within the Mingdou Mountains, bordering the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, there exists a band of evil soul masters who are unable to retreat to the Sun Moon Empire due to the martial law imposed on the Mingdou defense line.

The leader was an evil soul master who had just entered the Soul King level and called himself "Messenger of Death".

The bandits under his command hide in the mountains. Most of them are desperate criminals who commit arson, murder, and robbery, but they are not strong. With the help of several mid-level Soul Masters, they can be ignored.

Based on the strength ranking determined by the Soul Guidance System, the task of wiping out this bandit gang was assigned to two mid-level Soul Master teams to work together.

However, Beibei used her command authority to terminate this instruction.

Then, several more orders were issued in succession.

Before long, a burly man wearing armor walked over angrily.

He was clearly a veteran of the battlefield, and even possessed the cultivation of a Soul Emperor.

"Snapped!"

He slammed his calloused hands onto the table.

"Why was the order to exterminate the evil spirit masters terminated?!"

"A mere evil soul master who has just entered the Soul King realm can be destroyed with a single hand."

"Why mobilize more mid-level Soul Master teams?"

But he kept making a fuss for a long time, and Beibei didn't even lift her eyelids to look at him until she finished checking the latest instructions, then she said in a deep voice:

"That's an order!"

"I refuse to carry out such an order!"

After waiting for so long, all I got was this one ridiculous sentence!

Whose terrible idea was it to put such a greenhorn in charge of such high-level authority?!

A kid who hasn't even grown all his feathers yet should just stay put and be the best mascot, playing the role he can.

I gave you a feather duster, and you're actually treating it like a royal decree?!

"If you refuse to carry out my orders, then you can report to a military court."

Beibei's concise second sentence made him so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her.

He roared, "I am a veteran of countless battles, having fought dozens of battles throughout my life..."

But before he could finish speaking, Beibei raised her hand to interrupt him, and it was the first time Beibei had looked at him properly.

"I am the commander-in-chief of Operation Soul Hunting. The leaders and high-ranking officials of the three kingdoms have granted me the authority to act as I see fit."

"Even if I were to execute you right now, let alone send you to a military court, it would still be within my means."

The veteran in front of him was still a soldier who obeyed orders. Although he was furious and his face was red with anger, he did not act recklessly.

Just then, more news arrived.

"A mid-level Soul Master squad has lost contact, while a low-level Soul Master squad was seen heading towards the Mingdou Mountains."

"A high-level Soul Master team has been dispatched to the Mingdou Mountains."

"The Heaven Dou City Armament Center has allocated enough mid-level soul tools to equip hundreds of soul masters, as well as a number of mid-level fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells."

Beibei immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"Set off!"
