But Chrysanthemum Douluo, who understands Bibi Dong's personality, already knows that the Pope is most terrifying at this time.
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo replied with a grim expression, instantly disappearing from his spot and moving with incredible speed to the side room from which the voice had come.
It would have been better if he hadn't known, but he just happened to run into it. Duan Yufan could only admit that Salas was unlucky, that he just happened to be there at the wrong time.
"Salas!" Chrysanthemum Douluo violently pushed the door open and entered.
"Which bastard dares to disturb my business?" Platinum Bishop Salas stopped what he was doing upon hearing the commotion and turned around angrily.
"Elder Ju! Greetings, Elder Ju! Why did you suddenly come to the Heaven Dou Temple? If I had known you were coming, I would have had my men inform you in advance so I could have prepared a banquet." Salas turned around abruptly and saw that it was Ju Douluo. He immediately came to Ju Douluo and bowed respectfully, his clothes still a little disheveled.
However, when she looked up, she saw Chrysanthemum Douluo's indifferent gaze.
Twenty-five, Reorganization of the Temple
"Hmph! Salas, how dare you! Have you forgotten the Spirit Hall's principles? Abusing your power to oppress civilians and forcibly taking women? I don't need to elaborate on the heinous crimes you've committed," Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered.
"Elder Ju! Can you please pretend you didn't see it?" Salas immediately tried to bribe Ju Douluo upon hearing this.
"Salas! Who else do you think could be here with me out there? Think carefully about what you're going to say next." Chrysanthemum Douluo interrupted Salas.
"Your Holiness! It's over." Salas's expression suddenly changed.
"Get dressed and get out of here!" Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted as Salas continued to dawdle.
"Yes, yes!" Salas quickly tidied himself up and ran out of the side room.
Chrysanthemum Douluo then stepped forward and looked at a girl, about 14 years old. Her clothes were torn and ripped, revealing a lot of skin, her long black hair was messy, and her face was covered in tears.
"Here, put this on first!" Chrysanthemum Douluo took out a piece of clothing from his soul tool, which strangely resembled women's clothing.
The girl timidly reached out and took the clothes that Chrysanthemum Douluo had taken out.
Ju Douluo saw the girl take the clothes and then walk out of the side room to the main hall, where Salas was already kneeling and begging for mercy.
“Salas! You have truly disappointed me. I entrusted you with such an important task and a temple, which would have allowed you to be a little domineering towards the nobles of the Heavenly Dou Empire, but I did not ask you to do that. Bullying a common woman will not be tolerated.”
"Yue Guan, send Salas to the City of Slaughter overnight. Whether he lives or dies depends on his own fate. Send a letter back to Wuhun City to have Bishop Skoda Platinum take over the Heavenly Dou Temple overnight."
Bibi Dong coldly announced Salas's fate. She knew this, so after taking over the position of Pope, her first principle was to add the rule of forcibly taking women from the people.
The Grand Master of the Thousand Paths was fully aware of this at the time, so he did not object, and there was no need to object to such a rule.
"Your Holiness, spare me! Please give me another chance! I was wrong!" Salas pleaded frantically. His shouts alerted the other vice-bishops and soldiers who were assisting him.
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope! Long live the Pope!" The others hurriedly bowed in fear.
"Hmm! Did you forget about the Holy Son?" Chrysanthemum Douluo reminded him.
"Greetings, Holy Son! We apologize, Holy Son, for we have only heard of you by name and have never met you in person. We have been disrespectful to you." The others hurriedly addressed Duan Yufan, who was standing beside Bibi Dong.
"You will have your funding suspended for six months. As for the time being, I will not pursue the matter further, but I will send a new Platinum Bishop to investigate your background." Bibi Dong gave the order authoritatively. Since she had not personally witnessed the evil deeds of others, Bibi Dong planned to delegate the task to someone else.
"Yes, Your Holiness, we will follow your orders." The others nodded hurriedly; they could accept this punishment.
"Yue Guan, set off immediately and be sent to the City of Slaughter. Return as soon as possible," Bibi Dong continued to instruct.
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo clasped his hands in a salute.
"Your Holiness, please spare me this once," Salas cried out again.
With a thud, Chrysanthemum Douluo knocked Salas unconscious from behind.
"Irritable."
After saying that, Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly left the Spirit Temple with Salas in his arms.
"You guys, take the girl inside back, and remember to apologize to her," Bibi Dong said calmly.
"Yes, Your Holiness, we understand."
"Teacher! Let me do it. Those few have some unpleasant appearances, I'm afraid they'll scare people again."
"Okay! You can go in now, girl, please come out."
"Ah."
After Duan Yufan finished speaking, he went to the side room and saw the girl, who was already wearing the clothes that Ju Douluo had given her. She was quite pretty.
"Sister, I'm sorry to have disturbed you. I am the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. You will not see Bishop Salas again. Don't worry, I will send someone to take you back." Duan Yufan showed a friendly smile.
"Holy Child? Thank you! Thank you!" the girl said hurriedly.
"Sister, are you alright? It's getting late, I'll have someone take you home." Duan Yufan smiled gently.
"Okay! Thank you, Holy Son." The girl was still a little frightened.
The girl then followed Duan Yufan to the main hall.
"You few must personally deliver it to their homes and offer an apology," Duan Yufan instructed them directly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Duan Yufan and Bibi Dong watched the others leave, leaving only the two of them in the main hall.
"First Soul Skill, Prayer for Healing." Seeing that Bibi Dong's negative emotions had not yet subsided, Duan Yufan immediately cast a purification spell.
"Xiao Fan, I'm sorry you had to see this. I never expected to witness something like this," Bibi Dong said slowly, calming herself down.
Most importantly, it almost made Bibi Dong recall a trace of her memory.
"Teacher, it's nothing. The entire Spirit Hall organization is spread across the continent, and there are bound to be a few bad apples who cause trouble," Duan Yufan replied gently.
"Yes, when I get back this time, I'll immediately implement a measure to replace all those who need to be replaced. Some people may have been in power for too long and have forgotten their true nature," Bibi Dong planned.
"By the way, Xiao Fan, my second divine test will probably require your help. Every day I need your first soul skill's purification effect to clear away excess negative evil thoughts from the Rakshasa." Bibi Dong suddenly mentioned her divine test.
"Teacher, it's nothing, I'd be more than happy to. Besides, I don't quite understand the second part of my divine test. The Kind God King asked me to purify the carrier of the evil spirit, with a time limit of ten years." Duan Yu Fan immediately realized that this carrier of the evil spirit might be his teacher, Bibi Dong.
"Xiao Fan, the evil spirit carrier you, the kind god-king, are you talking about, me? My second test also has a ten-year time limit," Bibi Dong asked.
“Teacher! It’s possible.” Duan Yu Fan was starting to agree with Bibi Dong’s guess.
The two remained silent for a few minutes before Bibi Dong finally broke the silence.
"Alright! You've been traveling all day, go and rest. Don't worry, your teacher will keep an eye out for who this evil spirit carrier is," Bibi Dong said softly.
After asking where the guest rooms were, Duan Yufan went back to his room to rest.
"Sigh! It's so frustrating to be left guessing when we can't find out about the Kind God King. But it really could be the teacher. The Kind God King wouldn't arrange such a divine test for no reason."
"I don't want to think about it anymore, I'm going to sleep." Duan Yufan turned over and fell asleep.
The next morning, when Duan Yufan got up and went to the main hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo had already returned, along with another person who looked to be in his fifties, and other people he had seen the night before.
This is the Skoda Platinum Bishop, a level 85 Contra player, dressed in the same outfit as Salas.
"Holy Son!" Ju Douluo and Skoda Platinum Bishop greeted Duan Yufan as he came out.
"Good morning, everyone," Duan Yufan replied.
"Alright! The Heaven Dou Temple is now under your management. Bishop Skoda hopes you won't follow in Salas's footsteps, and won't do anything to smear the Spirit Hall. Supervise the Temple well."
"Yes, Your Holiness! I will do my utmost and will never allow my own people to break the Spirit Hall's principles," Bishop Skorda Platinum immediately assured him.
"Alright! We have other things to do, so we'll be going!" Bibi Dong said, then led Duan Yufan away from the main hall.
The three hurried towards Sunset Forest.
Twenty-six met again
About an hour after leaving Tiandou City, Duan Yufan reached the outermost edge of Sunset Forest. Although he didn't know the exact location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he guessed it should be not far from Tiandou City.
Those who went to Sunset Forest to hunt for spirit rings must have seen the poison shield protecting the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Combined with Dugu Bo's poison, although some people had seen it, no one dared to approach.
Therefore, Duan Yufan deduced that the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was not deep enough to penetrate into the center of the Sunset Forest.
When Duan Yufan and Bibi Dong arrived at the outermost edge of Sunset Forest, they chose a path that had been trodden for many years.
"Teacher, let's take this path. It seems like people often walk this way," Duan Yufan said, looking at a path leading deep into the Sunset Forest.
"Hmm! You have some insight. Yue Guan, please lead the way." Bibi Dong nodded slightly and said to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
“Yes, Your Holiness, Holy Son.” Chrysanthemum Douluo had no objections and immediately took his leave.
Duan Yufan followed in the middle, with Bibi Dong at the back. After more than an hour in the Sunset Forest, the traces on the ground became fewer and fewer, and the path narrowed a bit. They continued to move forward along the path with a few more footprints.
After walking for almost another hour, the surrounding thorny weeds began to grow thick.
"That's about it, teacher. Elder Ju should be nearby. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye should be protected by poisonous gas." Duan Yufan glanced around, stopped, and explained the situation.
“Yes, what the Holy Son said makes sense. Some immortal herbs are also highly poisonous. If a large area of flowers and herbs survives, they may accumulate over the years and form a layer of poisonous gas barrier.” Chrysanthemum Douluo agreed with Duan Yufan’s statement.
"Then, Yue Guan, go check around on the left. Xiao Fan and I will check on the right. If we don't find it, we'll meet here in an hour. Send a signal when we find it." Bibi Dong gave a casual order, then knocked down a tree as a marker, and let a beam of sunlight shine down from the original spot.
"Yes, Your Holiness." Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly went to check if there was a suitable location on the left side.
Duan Yufan and Bibi Dong began to investigate to the right.
Half an hour later, a sudden surge of soul power disturbed Duan Yufan and Bibi Dong.
"Teacher, should we go take a look? It's probably someone hunting for a spirit ring, and they're not far ahead." Duan Yu Fan and Bibi Dong sensed that the spirit power was not strong, probably around level 30.
"That's good. We can also ask them if they've seen a poisonous area."
Soon, the scene came into view: there were three people, one of whom was a slightly older young man with short hair, another was a blond, blue-eyed boy of about 13 years old, and the third was a girl with dark green hair.
Duan Yufan recognized the girl; she was the granddaughter of Dugu Bo, whom he had met a year ago, only her hair and lips were darker.
After a year apart, he has already reached level 26 in soul power, while the boy is level 30.
The girl and boy worked together to attack a lightning serpent, a soul beast that was probably less than two thousand years old.
"Tianheng, pay attention, strike the vital point, Xiaoyan, interfere with the Thunder Serpent." The young man watching gave the order. He had five soul rings, the best configuration, and was a level 58 Soul King. He was around 27 years old and could be considered a talented person.
"Understood, Teacher Qin." The boy replied without turning his head, focusing on dealing with the Razer snake.
"So it's Teacher Qin Ming, Yu Tianheng, and Dugu Yan. That means they're already students of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy," Duan Yufan thought to himself.
“Teacher, this boy’s martial spirit is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, right? We saw the other girl when we came to Sunset Forest last year. She’s Dugu Bo’s granddaughter, and her poisoning has worsened.” Duan Yu Fan said softly to Bibi Dong.
