Soul Land: Bibi Dong Is My Martial Soul-Chapter 228: Because of Bibi Dong

Chapter 228: Because of Bibi Dong

Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Fierce Lion Douluo, Radiant Feather Douluo, Thousand Jun Douluo, Demon Subduing Douluo—among the Seven Worshippers of Spirit Hall, only Qian Daoliu was absent. The rest were all present.

In addition to them, nearly all of Spirit Hall's elders had gathered in the hall as well.

Among them were familiar faces like Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Stingporcupine Douluo, along with a female Titled Douluo named Lingyuan Douluo.

Clearly, aside from Bibi Dong, the rest of Spirit Hall didn't trust letting her meet with Su Mo alone.

Understandable. After all, Su Mo's strength displayed on the battlefield had been far too overwhelming.

They feared that if negotiations went poorly, Bibi Dong might be killed on the spot.

That would be a devastating blow to Spirit Hall.

"So many seniors present..."

"It does make Us feel rather flattered."

Su Mo looked over at the group of worshippers and spoke calmly.

"We greet His Majesty."

After he spoke, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others bowed respectfully.

Had Su Mo only come as the Heaven Dou Emperor, they wouldn't have been so deferential.

But his strength—his power—was more than enough to command their respect.

"Your Holiness the Pope," Su Mo continued as he turned his gaze to Bibi Dong, "I hope that Spirit Hall can join Heaven Dou, so we may complete the unification of the continent and bring lasting peace to the Douluo world. I believe this is something Spirit Hall also hopes to see."

Hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others immediately scowled in anger.

You really dare to say that out loud?

Why should Spirit Hall join the Heaven Dou Empire?

Still, no matter how angry they were, Su Mo's arrival had been announced as a diplomatic negotiation.

Since Su Mo was now speaking to Bibi Dong on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire, none of them could interrupt before she responded.

All eyes turned to Bibi Dong, awaiting her reply.

In their minds, there was no way they'd let Spirit Hall willingly surrender to Heaven Dou.

Even if Bibi Dong agreed, they wouldn't.

"To unify the continent and bring lasting peace—yes, that is what Spirit Hall hopes for," Bibi Dong said with a calm smile as she looked at Su Mo.

"But, Your Majesty Su Mo, how exactly would you like us to join Heaven Dou?"

"You're not asking Spirit Hall to dissolve, are you?"

"Of course not."

Su Mo smiled and continued, "If Spirit Hall joins Heaven Dou, it will become the Imperial Church, helping manage all soul masters on the continent—including those from independent clans and sects."

"Of course, Spirit Hall will also need to accept certain arrangements from the Empire..."

From there, the negotiation turned into a performance—just as they had agreed in advance.

The two began discussing, step by step, how Spirit Hall would integrate into the Heaven Dou system under Su Mo's structure.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others were left dumbfounded, looking at Su Mo in disbelief.

None of them had imagined that Su Mo's proposal for Spirit Hall's "joining" would actually be something so beneficial.

In fact, this arrangement was a good deal for Spirit Hall.

And with this structure in place, there really wouldn't be any need for conflict between Heaven Dou and Spirit Hall.

No war needed. No casualties.

"If that's the case," Bibi Dong said, "then joining the Heaven Dou Empire would indeed be a good thing for Spirit Hall."

"His Majesty Su Mo has shown remarkable vision and generosity. It's truly admirable."

"I believe this path benefits both sides. Now, esteemed Worshippers and elders—what are your thoughts?"

She looked toward Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others for their opinions.

They exchanged glances.

None of them had expected negotiations to go so quickly or smoothly.

You're asking us to take a stance already?

What they thought was a monumental matter...

Why did Su Mo and Bibi Dong treat it like a casual discussion?

Just a few words—and it was done?

"Ahem..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo cleared his throat.

"His Majesty Su Mo's vision is indeed admirable. If everything proceeds as described—then this old man's opinion aligns with the Pope's."

In the end, it was Golden Crocodile Douluo, the most senior among them, who spoke first.

If things proceeded exactly as Su Mo described, then this kind of integration would indeed be a great boon for Spirit Hall. Since Bibi Dong also approved, he had no reason to oppose it.

On the contrary, he was quite looking forward to it.

Because under this arrangement, Spirit Hall would become even more glorious.

"I share Her Holiness's view as well,"

Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly echoed after Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Ever since witnessing Su Mo's display of power on the battlefield, he had no desire to oppose him in any way.

Now that there was such a perfect way to resolve the conflict between Heaven Dou and Spirit Hall, of course he would raise both hands and feet in agreement.

"I agree with Second Worshipper's opinion!"

"I stand with Her Holiness as well..."

"..."

Soon, with Golden Crocodile Douluo taking the lead, the others also voiced their support one by one.

Not a single voice of dissent.

Because they could all see that this arrangement greatly favored Spirit Hall.

Some of them even couldn't understand why Su Mo would be the one to propose such favorable terms.

Naturally, none of them knew that Su Mo's reasoning boiled down to one thing—Bibi Dong.

And just like that, the merger between the Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall was tentatively settled.

The next moment, Su Mo's figure flickered—and he vanished silently from the spot.

Watching him disappear without a sound, Golden Crocodile Douluo finally understood why Su Mo had dared come alone.

It wasn't just because of overwhelming power.

It was because even if he were somehow outmatched, he had complete confidence in being able to leave unharmed.

The news that the Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall were about to merge spread quickly through Spirit City.

Once again, the entire continent was shaken.

No one had expected the two colossal forces to resolve things so... peacefully.

"Spirit Hall will join the Heaven Dou Empire and become the Imperial Church, helping to protect the Douluo Continent alongside the empire!"

"That's amazing!"

As Bibi Dong's personal disciple, Hu Liena was thrilled upon hearing the outcome.

Now, she would no longer be torn between her man and her teacher.

"Yes... this is probably the best possible ending."

Behind her, Zhu Zhuqing smiled as well.

Since the last Soul Master Tournament, Zhu Zhuqing had remained by Hu Liena's side, and the two had become close friends.

She too was overjoyed by the peaceful union between the Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall.

Because she didn't want to become Su Mo's enemy either.

After all, it was Su Mo's advice back then that had helped her break free from her fate.

If not for that moment, she would likely have been discarded along with Dai Mubai.

She had heard of Dai Mubai's downfall—his cultivation crippled—so she felt all the more grateful for Su Mo's timely words.

She didn't want to fight against him... even if, now, Su Mo probably didn't remember her at all.

Still, she silently hoped... there would be no war between Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire.
