Chapter 3716: 3562
Feeling somewhat headachy, Bi Bidong waved her hand and said, "Ghost Charm, this matter is no small thing. Go and call Xu Sheng over!"
Since they had found out about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect being attacked by a large group of abyssal creatures, it was better to discuss the matter with Xu Sheng, who was most familiar with them!
However, Ghost Charm hesitated for a moment, then nodded in understanding...
As his entire being merged into the darkness and disappeared, the space fell into silence...
Only then did Bi Bidong mutter to herself, "That Abyssal Emperor, relying on the power of the Divine Artifact, the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss, has already amassed so many powerful subordinates!"
"Compared with Xu Sheng, who arrived in this world with him, he remains merely at the level of a Title Douluo!"
"If I hadn't agreed to cooperate with him back then, how would he have been able to exterminate these creatures?"
Could it be that Xu Sheng still had some tricks up his sleeve that could wipe out these abyssal creatures?
Unable to make sense of it, she decisively closed her eyes and quietly waited...
Tens of minutes later, Ghost Charm's voice finally rose again...
"Your Holiness, I have brought Xu Sheng here!"
Hearing this, Bi Bidong then opened her eyes...
"Xu Sheng, you've come!"
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Yes, Your Holiness. May I know why you have summoned me here?"
When Ghost Charm had informed him earlier, his expression was clearly very agitated, obviously, something important had happened!
Bi Bidong's expression grew solemn, and then, word by word, she said, "Xu Sheng, a few days ago, the Martial Soul Hall acquired intelligence concerning the abyssal creatures!"
Xu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly, "Your Holiness, is the source of the news reliable?"
The last time abyssal creatures had appeared, it was on Sea God's Island!!
It was unexpected that after just a short period, they had already taken action again...
Bi Bidong almost confirmed, "This news will not be wrong; it was personally gathered by Yueguan from an elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect!"
Had it not been for Yueguan returning to Holy Soul Village that day, they probably would not have known such crucial information!
So, the intelligence was almost certainly accurate!
Seeing this, Xu Sheng also cast a trusting glance...
"Since Your Holiness says so, then it seems this news is indeed reliable!"
"May I know where exactly did the abyssal creatures appear?"
Bi Bidong took a deep breath and then exhaled five words, "Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect!"
Xu Sheng frowned, "Why would abyssal creatures appear at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect? Could it be that they want to infiltrate and gather detailed intelligence on the upper three families?"
Bi Bidong shook her head, denying this possibility...
"No... that's not it."
"These abyssal creatures massively gathered within the territory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and launched a very fierce attack!"
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, "Not only have a large number of abyssal creatures gathered, but they also initiated the attack?"
Could it be that the Abyssal Emperor was already confident enough to defeat human Soul Masters?
Indeed, today's Soul Masters possessed only Soul Power and lacked high-tech equipment such as soul tools, Battle Armor, or even Mechas!
Ordinary abyssal creatures, when fighting Soul Masters, held an absolute advantage, not to mention ones that also possessed intelligence!
Watching Xu Sheng in deep contemplation, Bi Bidong reluctantly spoke up, "Xu Sheng, can you deduce the purpose behind the abyssal creatures' actions from this? You should understand them better than we do!"
Xu Sheng hesitated, "Your Holiness, I am not yet able to provide a definite answer."
"However, if we could know the current situation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, there might be some clues!"
He himself was also somewhat unclear about the true intentions of the Abyssal Emperor...
If it were to conceal the existence of abyssal creatures, they shouldn't attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect so openly!
A look of helplessness appeared on Bi Bidong's face, "Regarding that, I have already sent someone to investigate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. It will take at least two to three days before we receive any news."
As for Ghost Charm and Yue Guan, they need to defend Martial Soul City, so they can't be dispatched lightly!
Xu Sheng wasn't surprised, "I see, it seems we need to wait for the news to arrive before we can speculate on the intentions of the Abyssal Emperor."
Seeing the situation, Bi Bidong quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Xu Sheng, has anyone from Sea God's Island informed you of the current situation there?"
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, "Your Holiness, what do you mean by this? Why are you interested in Sea God's Island now?"
The former should be indifferent to Sea God's Island. Why would he suddenly ask about this!
Bi Bidong did not hide his thoughts, "The abyssal creatures attacked Sea God's Island last time, and this time they attacked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. It's hard not to assume that their next target might be Martial Soul Hall!"
"To formulate how to respond, I need to refer to both Sea God's Island and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect!"
Xu Sheng nodded in understanding, "I see. However, I must disappoint you, Your Holiness. Since the High Priest last sent a message, there has been no further contact with me!"
"I personally guess that Sea God's Island might not have encountered any further situations and has returned to its usual state!"
Bi Bidong couldn't hide his disappointment, "I see."
However, if Sea God's Island could resist those abyssal creatures, Martial Soul Hall should have no reason to fail!
Even if it relies on those fellows from the Worship Hall!
Xu Sheng signaled, "Your Holiness, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"
Yet Bi Bidong stopped him, "Wait, Xu Sheng, there's one more thing I need to ask you!"
Xu Sheng halted, sending a puzzled glance...
Bi Bidong glanced at Ghost Charm and ordered, "Ghost Charm, you can leave first. I have something to discuss with Xu Sheng!"
Ghost Charm was also somewhat bewildered, wondering what could require secrecy from him!
After all, he and Yue Guan could be considered the confidants of His Holiness, and it was rare for His Holiness to exclude him.
However, he had no grounds to object!
"Yes, Your Holiness, if there's anything, you can send someone to notify me!"
Watching the former leave the hall, Xu Sheng also pondered quietly, "Deliberately sending Ghost Charm away, it seems the upcoming discussion is not a simple matter!"
Bi Bidong then turned back to Xu Sheng, pausing between every word, "Xu Sheng, do you still remember why you joined Martial Soul Hall initially?"
Xu Sheng was momentarily stunned, then responded, "Of course, it was for cooperation!"
"I helped Martial Soul Hall win the champion title in the continent's elite Soul Master competition, while Martial Soul Hall was supposed to gather information on abyssal creatures and handle their extermination for me!"
Bi Bidong smiled rarely, "Xu Sheng, the latter part, I don't seem to have ever said that, have I?"
He had never agreed to exterminate abyssal creatures for the former, only to gather information about them!
