After hearing this, Bi Bidong's expression changed subtly, "Xu Sheng, are you saying that Tang San joined the Worship Hall? Wasn't he supposed to be imprisoned by Qian Dao Liu?"
She could even imagine the cruel treatment Tang San might receive in the Worship Hall!
But now she was actually being told that he had joined the Worship Hall!
Given the enmity between Qian Dao Liu and Tang Hao, such a thing should not be possible!
Xu Sheng shook his head and gave a definite answer, "No, I did not misspeak."
"Tang San has indeed joined the Worship Hall, and it seems he genuinely wants to do so!"
It appeared that before he even went to the Worship Hall, he had already received favorable treatment!
As for what exactly that was, it was unknown!
Bi Bidong propped up her chin and pondered, "If that's truly the case, then it seems Tang San might not be aware of his father's enmity with Qian Dao Liu, right?"
"Or perhaps he has already been brainwashed by Qian Dao Liu and forgotten part of his memory!"
With Qian Dao Liu's means as an Ultimate Douluo, achieving the latter is entirely possible!
Xu Sheng, however, replied with an unchanged expression, "Tang San is well aware of his father's relationship with the Grand Elder. As for being brainwashed, it should be unlikely. I did not perceive any issues with his spiritual power."
Although my current soul power rank has not reached the Super Douluo Level, my spiritual power remains as strong as ever!
Therefore, if Qian Dao Liu had done something, it would be impossible to hide it!
This is also why he wasn't forcibly taken away from the Worship Hall, as there was no threat to his life!
Bi Bidong paused, "This..."
"Well, Tang San is your friend, so how to deal with him has nothing to do with me!"
"However, regarding the next question, Xu Sheng, you need to answer me seriously."
"Did Qian Dao Liu try to recruit you?"
Xu Sheng was somewhat surprised, "Your Holiness, are you suspecting me?"
Although I expected to be questioned, I didn't think it would be so direct!
To which Bi Bidong refuted, "No, on the contrary, I trust you very much!"
"If you had already been recruited by Qian Dao Liu, then coming back would be unnecessary."
Xu Sheng shrugged, "Since Your Holiness trusts me, then what is the significance of this question?"
Bi Bidong's eyes filled with a cold gleam, "If Qian Dao Liu dares to snatch someone I value, even if my control over the Martial Soul Hall isn't as strong as his, I will certainly make him suffer!"
Xu Sheng seemed to sense something and rarely gave a knowing smile...
He understood why the other party was so angry!
Bi Bidong seemed to realize her faux pas and quickly changed the subject to cover her embarrassment, "Ahem... Alright, let's move on to other matters."
Xu Sheng also became more serious, "Your Holiness, is there news about the abyssal creatures?"
Lately, I have vaguely felt that the Abyssal Emperor seems to be planning something big!
Bi Bidong said solemnly, "Yes..... Recently, there have been many Soul Masters reporting sightings of abyssal creatures within the Tiandou Empire, and it won't be long before the existence of abyssal creatures is exposed to the world!"
"However, there haven't been any reports of casualties yet."
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, "If I'm not mistaken, this is likely a deliberate act by the Abyssal Emperor, to make the Soul Masters throughout the Tiandou Empire feel uneasy, so they can be defeated one by one."
"I'm afraid that the abyssal creatures are already spread throughout the Tiandou Empire, just waiting for the order from the lead Abyssal Emperor to strike."
Bi Bidong hesitated, "This was within our expectations, but the abyssal creatures don't seem to have any ambition towards the Xingluo Empire, why is that?"
Xu Sheng fell silent...
Seeing his expression, Bi Bidong couldn't help but exclaim, "Could it be that the reason the abyssal creatures are targeting the Tiandou Empire is because of your presence, Xu Sheng?"
Xu Sheng did not deny it, "That's right, the Abyssal Emperor and I came to this world together, and he probably discovered through some means that I was within the Tiandou Empire!"
"That's why he decided to act against the Tiandou Empire first, but one thing is for sure, once the Tiandou Empire is destroyed, the next target will be the Xingluo Empire!"
The ambition of abyssal creatures is even stronger than that of humans!
Bi Bidong looked towards the latter and pressed on, "Xu Sheng, what should we do now? Since abyssal creatures have already infiltrated all over the Tiandou Empire, even dispatching all members of the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall might not affect the outcome."
Previously, I didn't realize, but now it seems that the super divine weapon in the Abyssal Emperor's hands is truly terrifying, capable of nurturing such a vast abyssal tribe in such a short time!
Xu Sheng thought for a moment and then gave his answer, "Instead of waiting until the abyssal creatures launch their attack, it's better to publicly reveal their existence beforehand!"
"In this way, the sects of all sizes will take precautions!"
"This could significantly ease the pressure on the forces within the Tiandou Empire!"
Although the various forces within the Tiandou Empire aren't united, in the face of abyssal creatures, they can only be like grasshoppers on a string!
Bi Bidong was quite concerned about this, "Revealing the existence of abyssal creatures in advance will probably cause great panic, won't it?"
Xu Sheng was a bit helpless, "Your Holiness, I understand your point, but isn't panic better than the Tiandou Empire being completely occupied by abyssal creatures due to unpreparedness?"
If we don't act now, there may be no chance for regret in the future!
Bi Bidong also chose to trust unconditionally, "This... Alright, I will send someone tomorrow to release information about abyssal creatures, of course, along with their weaknesses!"
Xu Sheng was genuinely grateful, "Thank you, Your Holiness. Without your help, the entire Tiandou Empire might fall apart shortly."
Bi Bidong turned her head slightly, "Xu Sheng, you don't need to thank me. This is not purely helping you; it's also to secure my position as Pope!"
Although my goal is also to unify the entire Continent, if hindered by these abyssal creatures, it will all be in vain!
She paused for a moment, about to speak but hesitated, "It's just....."
Xu Sheng saw through her at a glance, "Your Holiness, if you have any questions, you can speak freely."
Bi Bidong then continued, "Xu Sheng, although you've never shown it, I still want to know, how much chance does humanity have in the struggle against abyssal creatures?"
Xu Sheng initially wanted to refuse, but after thinking it over, he provided an assessment, "If the Abyssal Emperor hasn't fully recovered his power, given humanity's current overall strength, there might be a twenty to thirty percent chance of victory."
"But if fully recovered..."
There was no need to say the rest!
Bi Bidong, with her back to him, couldn't help but chuckle bitterly, "Has it really come to the point of life and death for the human race?"
His answer was even more heartbreaking than she expected!
