Chapter 49 The arrow is on the string, it must be released!
Bibi Dong remained silent.
She had to admit that Nan Feng's control over human nature was absolutely ruthless.
The Haotian Sect has already retreated once. Once their bottom line is breached, it will be much easier to retreat a second or third time.
"and----"
Nan Feng added, "Even if it's just a nominal takeover of the Clear Sky Sect, the benefits to the Spirit Hall would be enormous."
"First, we have obtained the sharpest blade. The Haotian Hammer's attack power is beyond doubt. If we can use it, it will be a great help in dealing with other forces in the future."
"Secondly, this is the strongest deterrent to all sects in the world! Even the number one sect in the world has knelt down, who else dares to challenge the Spirit Hall?"
"Third, and most importantly."
"This will completely shatter the alliance between the three sects. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School will only feel panic and suspicion upon seeing the Clear Sky School surrender; their alliance will crumble without a fight!"
"This is a hundred times more valuable than killing them all!"
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, and the hesitation in her eyes completely disappeared, replaced by an aura of dominance that seemed to control everything.
"it is good."
"Then let's do as you say."
"Nanfeng, I plan to have the Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard intercept them, while I'll stay at Haotian Peak to cover their retreat. This way, we can draw their fire and spread out the risks."
"No way." Nan Feng immediately rejected the idea. "Demon Bear, Ghost Leopard, Serpent Spear, and Porcupine Pufferfish—these four are Golden Crocodile's men!"
"Although they are currently intimidated by your strength and dare not act rashly for the time being, that old codger Golden Crocodile, seeing you so successful on the front lines, is probably already restless. If he secretly orders Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard to hold back and deliberately let the Haotian Sect's relocation team escape, then your entire plan will be ruined!"
"Besides, who knows who the Haotian Sect will send to escort those elderly and weak? What if that madman Tang Xiao escorts them personally?"
"You expect those two cowards, Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard, to go toe-to-toe with Tang Xiao, who's risking his life? Dream on!"
"At that time, they will definitely not put in any real effort, and they might even be scared away by Tang Xiao's hammer."
"So, we'll have to do this ourselves."
"Let those four Title Douluos go to the Clear Sky Sect's gate to scare people, act as a decoy. We'll take Chrysanthemum Ghost and personally intercept and kill them."
""
Bibi Dong frowned, and after a moment of contemplation, she had to admit that Nan Feng was right.
At this critical moment, she could trust no one but herself.
"it is good."
In reality, Bibi Dong's gaze swept over the three people—Serpent Spear, Porcupine, and Ghost Leopard—before finally settling on Demon Bear Douluo, who had just returned from "repenting" outside and looked apprehensive.
"Demon Bear, Ghost Leopard, Serpent Spear, Porcupine Pufferfish."
"I require the four of you to muster the entire army. Apart from the two hundred agility-based elites I've left behind, the rest of the troops shall set off!"
"Target—Haotian Peak!"
"Remember, make a big show of it! Let the whole world know that I'm going to crush the Haotian Sect!"
The four titled Douluo looked at each other, their faces showing difficulty.
"Your Majesty----"
Even the most cautious Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't help but step forward. "Haotian Peak is a natural fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, although the Haotian Sect is currently closed, Tang Xiao and several elders are still there. If we were to launch a direct attack, the losses would be—"
"Who gave you permission to launch a direct assault?"
Bibi Dong sneered, interrupting him, "I'm sending you to scare them."
"Set up a large army at the foot of the mountain, and have them take turns challenging us every day, letting the Soul Masters build up their morale. Occasionally, throw a few Soul Skills onto the mountain and set it on fire."
"As long as they feel that I will launch a full-scale attack at any time, and they dare not come down the mountain easily, your mission will be accomplished."
"this----"
The four of them exchanged glances and saw a sigh of relief in each other's eyes.
Just trying to scare me? That's easy!
This job is neither dangerous nor dangerous, and it makes you look like you're working hard. It's practically tailor-made for these "slackers"!
"But, Your Majesty—"
Although the Serpent Spear Douluo breathed a sigh of relief, he still had some doubts in his heart. "If it was just a feint, then what about you? Where are you going?"
'
"This is me?" Bibi Dong slowly stood up.
"I have received top-secret intelligence that while the Clear Sky Sect is ostensibly sealing off its mountain, it is actually secretly transferring its main force towards Heaven Dou City! Even that Tang Hao has infiltrated among them!"
"What?! Tang Hao?!"
The four elders were shocked.
"That's right."
Bibi Dong said coldly, "That old fox Tang Xiao thought he could get away with it by expelling Tang Hao from the sect? Did he think he could escape by hiding him among the old, weak, women, and children?"
"dream!"
"I will personally lead Elders Ju and Gui, along with two hundred elite agility-based attackers, to take a shortcut and intercept them!"
"I will show Tang Xiao that in front of the Spirit Hall, any attempt at cleverness is tantamount to courting death!"
"this----"
The four elders were shocked, both by the Pope's intelligence capabilities and by the fact that the Pope was going to personally intervene.
"What? Is there a problem?" Bibi Dong's eyes turned cold.
"As the Pope commands!!"
The four responded in unison.
"Go."
Bibi Dong waved her hand, "Remember, you must make sure the act is perfect! If the people on Haotian Peak notice anything amiss, it will ruin my grand plan—"
A flash of purple light appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes, and the four of them immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
"Understood! I will not fail in my mission!"
Inside the tent, the atmosphere was just getting warm and lively, and everyone was preparing to split up.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke the somber atmosphere.
"Report—!!!"
A bishop dressed in the red robes of the Spirit Hall rushed into the tent, holding a golden token high in his hand.
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope! Greetings, Elders!"
The cardinal knelt on one knee, panting, and said, "I have come on the orders of the Second Elder to convey the latest decision of the Elders' Hall!"
"Read it." Bibi Dong frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
"yes!"
The cardinal unfurled the scroll in his hand and loudly proclaimed: "In this battle, the Spirit Hall has severely damaged the Clear Sky Sect, forcing it to retreat into seclusion and expel Tang Hao. All strategic objectives have been achieved. Considering Heaven's benevolence towards life, and given that the cause and legitimacy have been lost, it is not advisable to wage war again."
"By special order: Pope Bibidon and all accompanying elders, immediately muster your troops and return to the capital! Without delay!"
"Those who disobey orders will be severely punished!"
As the last word fell, the tent fell into a deathly silence.
The four elders, Demon Bear, Ghost Leopard, Serpent Spear, and Porcupine, looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Your Holiness the Pope—"
Demon Bear Douluo was the first to step forward. Although his tone was respectful, his expression was much more relaxed. "Since the Second Elder has given the order, shall we—"
"Shouldn't we just tuck our tails between our legs and run away?"
Bibi Dong sat in the main seat, her face indifferent.
"Your Majesty, you can't say that."
Serpent Spear Douluo stepped forward and advised, "The Second Elder is also considering the bigger picture. The Clear Sky Sect is already on edge; if we push too hard, it might incite public outrage."
"Yes, knowing when to stop is the best policy," the Porcupine Douluo chimed in.
Looking at the elders who had instantly switched sides and were now completely subservient to Jin E, Bibi Dong sighed in her spiritual sea.
"Nanfeng, did you see that?"
"That's reality. In the Spirit Hall, Jin E's words carry more weight than my imperial edict. Now that he's given the order, there's no way these people will listen to me."
"If we don't go back, it will be disobeying orders, it will be a complete break with the Hall of Offerings, and even if we win, what about the Elders' Hall—"
"Look before you act!" Nan Feng interrupted Bibi Dong coldly.
"We've come this far, and you're telling me to just give up?!"
"The arrow is on the string, it must be released! To turn back now would mean all our previous efforts were in vain!"
"But I don't have the strength to fight against the Hall of Worship right now!" Bibi Dong sighed.
"Even if our Netherworld can intimidate Serpent Spear and his group, it is still far too weak against the Hall of Worship."
"Don't always think about fighting back," Nan Feng said helplessly.
"Don't always think about being absolutely sure before you take action; you don't always have to pursue that kind of absolute certainty."
"Forget it, it seems you're not cut out for that pretentious act."
Give me your body! I'll take it!
"you----"
Before Bibi Dong could refuse, a familiar, domineering consciousness instantly took over her body.
in reality.
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) slowly stood up and walked step by step to the cardinal.
"The edict from the Second Imperial Envoy?"
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently pinched the golden scroll.
"Yes—yes, Your Majesty," the cardinal said in a trembling voice.
"Oh."
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) let out a soft laugh.
next second.
hum! !
Before everyone's horrified eyes, the golden scroll representing the highest authority of the Hall of Worship was instantly shattered by Bibi Dong's domineering Death Spider Queen soul power!
The air fell silent.
Demon Bear Douluo and the others stared wide-eyed, unable to believe their eyes.
That was the Second Elder's own handwritten edict! It represented the High Elder's will! And she—she actually tore it up?!
