Chapter 422.

Wang Feng remained silent.

After a long while, Hu Liena, her face still flushed, stood beside him. She took Wang Feng's warm hand, leading him into the conference hall.

Wang Feng shook his head, sighing inwardly, thinking to himself, "No matter what, I won't let you get hurt."

Conference Hall.

The large oval table in the center of the room was filled with the senior members of the Soul Hall.

In addition to the numerous Titled Douluo, there were also the hall masters from the two great empire Soul Hall temples, five platinum bishops, and over ten cardinals.

Bibi Dong sat at the head of the table, while Wang Feng took a seat opposite her.

Hu Liena walked behind Bibi Dong, her face still flushed but now composed.

Once Wang Feng settled into his seat, Bibi Dong spoke:

"Today, I will announce three things."

"First," she began, "after careful deliberation with the Elders from the Elder Hall, I, Bibi Dong, will formally choose Hu Liena as the Saintess of the Soul Hall, and my successor as the Supreme Pontiff."

This announcement was expected by many.

Having emerged from the Killing City, Hu Liena's position as Saintess was almost assured. She was close to reaching the 65th level, and her talent was unparalleled among the younger generation of the Soul Hall.

However, many had thought that Wang Feng, the White Pontiff, would be Bibi Dong's confidant and heir. But it appeared not to be the case.

"Second," Bibi Dong continued, pausing for emphasis. "Over the past five years, I have discovered that the position of the 100,000-year-old soul beast we encountered in the Supreme Pontiff Palace five years ago is located in the Star Dou Great Forest. It has since transformed into a human form. At present, she is in her growth period and is still relatively weak. However, the Star Dou Great Forest is dangerous, and I will send seven Titled Douluo—led by the White Pontiff, Wang Wu, along with Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Qianjun and Jiangmo Demon Douluo, and Snake Spear Douluo. Additionally, more than 30, 70th-level cardinals, with the Saintess as the leader, will go to capture her."

Wang Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Is it really happening?

Seven Titled Douluo, and I'm the one leading the charge?

Bibi Dong was being extremely cautious.

If these seven powerful figures went down, even if the mission was carried out in secret, it would be a monumental task to handle. If Bibi Dong accompanied them, things could get even more troublesome.

"The soul master in question has a close relationship with the Clear Sky Sect. Decades ago, the Clear Sky Sect made contact with soul beasts," Bibi Dong continued. "This makes the mission even more significant. We must proceed with caution. Additionally, there may be other 100,000-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. We must be prepared. The operation will take place in a month."

At these words, the Titled Douluo and cardinals present stood, listening intently.

Bibi Dong's gaze shifted to Wang Feng, her eyes holding deep meaning.

Wang Feng's heart stirred. It seemed that Bibi Dong had other plans for this operation, ones she didn't intend to share with the others. The look she gave him was unmistakable—it was meant for him alone.

Wang Feng silently acknowledged the situation, grateful that he understood the hidden message.

"The third thing!" Bibi Dong's voice rang out clearly, drawing everyone's attention. "You all remember that decade ago, the last Supreme Pontiff was killed, and five years ago, two Titled Douluo perished. These events serve as a warning to us!"

"On the mainland, while our soul masters are incredibly powerful, there are always some who refuse to follow the rules, who disregard our power and infringe upon us. This will not be tolerated!"

"To restore the prestige of our Soul Hall and unite the soul masters of the continent, I, Bibi Dong, have decided to launch the Soul Hunting Operation. We will severely punish those soul masters who dare to belittle our Soul Hall, and especially those from the –Seven Great Sects. It is time for a change in their positions!"

The room erupted into murmurs as everyone processed Bibi Dong's words.

Wang Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Is it happening again?

The Soul Hunting operation?

Fortunately, it seems that I've already infiltrated their ranks and have the opportunity to participate in this mission.

But how will Bibi Dong arrange the Soul Hunting Operation?

Just then, Bibi Dong's aura suddenly flared, and her cold voice reverberated through the hall once again:

"Quiet! This is not a discussion, but an order! It is a decision made by me and the Elder Hall simultaneously! The Soul Hunting operation will target all major forces on the continent. By then, all Soul Halls will be under the control of the Supreme Pontiff Hall and will follow the orders issued. If anyone dares to oppose this, don't blame me for turning against them!"

"This operation will be led by me, with the White Pontiff as the second-in-command. Once it begins, if I am not present, the White Pontiff will have full decision-making power!"

Such power was overwhelming.

Wang Feng thought to himself, Bibi Dong truly trusts me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given me this role.

If all the Soul Halls across the continent are united under this operation, it would be an immensely powerful force. Once launched, the first sects to be targeted will suffer greatly.

"This plan will begin in half a month!" Bibi Dong announced.

Clearly, the Soul Hunting operation was set to start soon.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect will likely take a heavy blow from this operation. With Bibi Dong's strategy, I wouldn't be surprised if those two sects are wiped out. And the two imperial families might be involved too.

Wang Feng's heart trembled.

At this precise moment, Bibi Dong had placed him in a critical role, positioning him to control Tang San and the others. It was the perfect layer of protection, a trump card.

So devious, Wang Feng thought to himself. But thankfully, I infiltrated their ranks early and am aware of these plans.

Star Dou Great Forest, Central Lake.

Whoosh!

A massive figure suddenly leaped into the air!

The figure was over ten meters tall, with its body black and glossy—it was the Titan Giant Ape!

At this moment, the Titan Giant Ape was wielding –an enormous pale golden staff that was more than ten meters long!

Boom!

"Take this!" Er Ming roared.

The ground seemed to tremble as hundreds of meters around him were shaken by a massive burst of dust!

Luckily, this area was a barren stretch of land with no ancient trees or structures.

On the edge of the lake, –Xiao Wu watched helplessly as Er Ming energetically played, letting out a soft sigh as she glanced across the lake.

"Feng'ge, how did you know that Er Ming loves to play with sticks? It's been five years now, and every time we play, it causes such a ruckus."

As she spoke, Xiao Wu stayed by the lake, her eyes filled with a faint sadness as she looked into the distance.

After leaving the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Tang Hao had taken her and Tang San away. When Tang San was still unconscious, Tang Hao had allowed her to return to her place.

The Star Dou Great Forest was where Xiao Wu discovered that Wang Feng had already been there. She even found out that he had met with Da Ming and Er Ming beforehand.

After disappearing from Shrek Academy in Heaven Dou City for six months, she suspected that he had been spending his time training with Da Ming and Er Ming here.

Xiao Wu also heard a lot about Wang Feng's time spent training with the two great soul beasts.

Whenever she heard Da Ming talk about it, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel a bit astonished, imagining Brother Feng engaging in countless fighting sessions with Er Ming.
