However, Yueguan and Gui Mei, who were adept at reading expressions and moods, also noticed this...
Secretly transmitting a message to Gui Mei, they said, "Lao Gui, have you noticed that the Pope's attitude towards Xu Sheng seems to have changed somewhat?"
Gui Mei evidently thought the same, "Hmm... the Pope seems less wary of Xu Sheng than before, probably due to their last private conversation!"
I should have eavesdropped at that time!
Otherwise, I can't completely understand why the Pope's attitude toward Xu Sheng has undergone a 180-degree change!
Yueguan appeared somewhat dissatisfied, "This Xu Sheng, he's really cunning, even managing to sway the Pope with his glib tongue!"
I'm afraid we'll also have to change our attitude towards Xu Sheng in the future!
Otherwise, it might cause the Pope's dissatisfaction...
Seeing them exchange looks, Bi Bidong suddenly rebuked, "Yueguan, Gui Mei, what are you whispering about? Do you really think I can't sense your spiritual power?"
Startled, Yueguan and the other immediately lowered their heads, not daring to use spiritual power to transmit messages any longer...
Bi Bidong then withdrew her gaze, pondering, "If Tang San falls into Qian Dao Liu's hands, based on my judgement, he probably won't kill the latter!"
"Instead, he will use him to take the opportunity to get rid of Tang Hao!"
Qian Dao Liu surely knows how important Tang San is to Tang Hao!
Acting rashly would only enrage Tang Hao, causing him and the people of Martial Soul Hall to fight desperately!
After a pause, she continued, "So... this matter probably doesn't need our concern!"
Yueguan and his companion quickly bowed and said, "Your Holiness is wise!"
Bi Bidong merely glanced at them and continued, "However... it is indeed surprising that the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect would be attacked by abyssal creatures!"
"Does this mean that abyssal creatures now possess enough strength to contend with human Soul Masters?"
Xu Sheng unusually interjected, "Your Holiness, I somewhat disagree with your view."
Although the Abyssal Emperor possesses a super divine weapon, it's still too forced to expect abyssal creatures to be able to contend with human Soul Masters in just a few months!
Bi Bidong nodded slightly, "Xu Sheng, you can speak frankly. After all, we are inferior to you concerning abyssal creatures!"
Xu Sheng was straightforward and immediately expressed his opinion...
"These abyssal creatures attacking the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect, I suspect, was merely a probe!"
"Unless I am mistaken, the abyssal creatures dispatched by the Abyssal Emperor this time were not the powerful types that Elder Ju encountered!"
"Instead, they were a group of newly born ordinary abyssal creatures, their strength at most similar to that of a thousand-year, ten-thousand-year soul beast!!!"
Nonetheless, Yueguan was full of doubt about his statement...
"Xu Sheng, no matter what, that's just your conjecture. Besides, haven't you said before that abyssal creatures grow very quickly?"
"With the super divine weapon in the hands of the Abyssal Emperor, it's likely that the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect has already been destroyed!"
"Right, Lao Gui?"
Gui Mei shook his head, "No, I believe what Xu Sheng said!"
"If the Abyssal Emperor truly had absolute confidence to contend with human Soul Masters, then the first target would likely be the Martial Soul Hall, which has the widest influence, not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect!"
Compared to Yueguan, he trusted Xu Sheng more!
Bi Bidong did not blame Yueguan, but instead reassured patiently, "Yueguan, I understand your concerns, but let's continue to listen to what Xu Sheng has to say!"
The latter paused and then said no more...
It seemed, both the Pope and Lao Gui trusted Xu Sheng more!
Indeed, if he had not voluntarily shared this information, perhaps no one would know what abyssal creatures were!
…
In the Divine War Ruins!
"We've got it, we've finally got a response, I thought our federation's technology wouldn't be able to detect it!"
"Hahaha, that's wonderful, this is a huge breakthrough, at least it means we have a chance to open up this space!"
"This space, resulting from the battle between two Divine Kings, is indeed terrifying just from the residual power left behind, it's hard to imagine how fearsome their true strength is!"
"Regardless, all the research we've done lately hasn't been in vain!"
Hearing these cheers, Ao Rui quickly joined them...
He asked with some confusion, "What's happened for the researchers to be so excited?"
One of the researchers composed himself and explained earnestly, "War God Ao Rui, it's like this, after several days of examination, our research has finally made a breakthrough!"
After all, in the past few days, they couldn't make head or tail of any information!
Ao Rui, now understanding, exclaimed joyfully, "I see, worthy indeed of our federation's researchers, well done."
He then immediately followed up, "How much longer will it take to open this space?"
The other's expression instantly stiffened...
He explained with a forced smile, "Well... War God Ao Rui, we only meant that there's now a chance to understand the situation of this space..."
"As for opening the space, I'm afraid... it still can't be done in a short time!"
Ao Rui then realized that his question might have dampened the mood...
He covered his mouth and coughed, "Cough cough..."
"No matter, we'll take it slowly, after all, we came prepared with plenty of food!"
The researcher nodded, "It's good that War God Ao Rui understands, we will also do our utmost in the research!"
Though it wasn't explicitly said, but each additional day here adds much more pressure!
However, just then, one of the federation members came running in a fluster, his voice panicked, "Report to War God Ao Rui, the Spirit Pagoda's people have come!"
Ao Rui's expression suddenly tensed, "The Spirit Pagoda?? I didn't expect them to find out so quickly!"
"But I would like to see what they intend to do!"
No need to think about it to know that the fellows who escaped recently were sent by the Spirit Pagoda to surveil this place!
Thinking this, he also quickly moved forward...
Sure enough, a large number of figures appeared ahead...
Leading them was none other than the Spirit Pagoda's master, Gu Yuena, with the ferocious beast Bi Ji standing beside her...
Ao Rui's eyes narrowed, "Ancient Tower Master, I didn't expect you to come personally, it's quite surprising!"
He had thought the Spirit Pagoda would send one of the ferocious beasts, yet it turned out to be her!
Gu Yuena, unfazed, responded, "I also didn't expect to find War God Ao Rui here."
After sensing the surroundings with Divine Power Perception, she added, "Just that, would there be some unspeakable secret for the federation to suddenly cordon off this area?"
Ao Rui was completely unphased, "Ancient Tower Master, these are the Hall Master's orders, I regret that I can tell you nothing!"
