Seeing that Bi Bidong did not pursue the matter, Gui Mei and Yueguan immediately breathed a sigh of relief...
But the next second, the former's voice made them anxious again...
"By the way, where are the people I asked you to monitor all the time?"
Yueguan seemed to recall something and suspiciously said, "Your Holiness, are you talking about... the people sent by the Xingluo Empire?"
Bi Bidong did not deny it, "That's right, have they reached the Tiandou Empire Palace by now?"
At this, Yueguan's expression became awkward...
Bi Bidong's gaze sharpened, questioning, "What's going on, Yueguan, could it be that you've forgotten my orders?"
Yueguan gritted his teeth, "No, no, Your Holiness, how could I forget the orders you gave, it's just..."
Gui Mei beside him was also confused, "Yueguan, what are you mumbling about? Since Your Holiness has asked, just speak up."
The former showing this demeanor, what exactly was he doing?
Yueguan glared at Gui Mei, then continued, "Your Holiness, after receiving your orders, I immediately dispatched some members of the Martial Soul Hall to the border to report immediately once they discover Xingluo Empire's team!"
"However, until now, there has been no news at all."
Bi Bidong's gaze became dangerous, "No news? Could it be they were exposed and dealt with by people from the Xingluo Empire?"
If that's the case, then the Xingluo Empire is being a bit too arrogant!
Yueguan swallowed, "No, according to my guess, those people from the Xingluo Empire probably... have not yet reached the Tiandou Empire's border!"
With these words, the entire hall fell silent...
After a moment, Bi Bidong suddenly said, "Since the message from the Xingluo Empire about going to the Tiandou Empire Palace, how long has it been?"
Seeing this, Gui Mei answered truthfully, "Your Holiness, five days have passed since the message came from the Xingluo Empire!"
Bi Bidong clenched her fists, "Five days... A full five days, and the people of the Xingluo Empire haven't reached within the Tiandou Empire's borders yet, are they... taking a stroll?"
Whole five days, even for ordinary people, such a long time would have been enough!
Yueguan coughed and bowed, "Your Holiness, please don't be angry, maybe it's not deliberate by the Xingluo Empire!"
Bi Bidong glanced at him, "Yueguan, are you speaking on behalf of the Xingluo Empire's royal family?"
She trusted Yueguan's loyalty, but his words were inevitably displeasing!
Yueguan was startled, "The Xingluo Empire's royal family, how could they make me speak for them, it's just... that the Xingluo Emperor is timid as a mouse, maybe he's afraid of an abyssal creature attack on the way to the Tiandou Empire Palace!"
"That's why they've slowed down their pace!!"
Gui Mei also nodded slightly, "Your Holiness, I also think it's very possible, after all, last time, the Emperor Xingluo didn't come in person but sent a prince and several ministers instead!"
"This fully shows he is very apprehensive about the existence of the abyssal creatures!"
Only then did Bi Bidong snort coldly.
"In that case, what about the Tiandou Empire's royal household? Have they sent out personnel to receive them?"
Yueguan shook his head again in response, "Your Holiness, according to the received information, there's been no response from the Tiandou Empire's royal household!"
On hearing this answer, Bi Bidong couldn't help but cover her forehead, seeming a bit puzzled...
"Forget it, this is a matter between the Xingluo Empire royal family and the Tiandou Empire royal family, let them make a fuss on their own."
"Yueguan, call back the Martial Soul Hall members that were sent out. Martial Soul City must always maintain enough Soul Masters stationed!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!!"
....
Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
Chen Xin looked sideways at Ning Fengzhi, "Feng Zhi, after this period of reorganization, the sect has roughly returned to normal."
The sacrificed disciples who needed to be buried have been buried, and compensation has been provided for their relatives!
Ning Fengzhi pursed his lips, "Hmm, thank you to Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone for their hard work during this period. But have there been any signs of abyssal creatures recently?"
Gu Rong shook his head in denial, "No, ever since the last great battle, abyssal creatures seem to have vanished entirely, without a trace."
"Even within the sect, it's harmoniously abnormal!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi almost unconsciously jumped to a conclusion, "Those guys most likely received orders from the Abyssal Emperor to completely hibernate!"
"Which means, it's now challenging to root out the lurking abyssal creatures."
With so many disciples in the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, searching one by one would be exhausting enough to kill!
Gu Rong coughed slightly, "Does that mean Ning Rongrong can..."
Although he liked having Ning Rongrong around him, sometimes, it was a bit...
Too lively!
However, he was met with uniform rejection from Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi...
"No way!"
"Just concluded, the abyssal creatures have hibernated, not disappeared. If Ning Rongrong loses protection, what happened before could easily happen again!"
"Indeed, if the abyssal creatures capture Ning Rongrong and use her to blackmail us, the situation would become even more critical!"
Gu Rong shrugged, "All right, all right, I was just saying, being with Ning Rongrong all the time is naturally fine with me."
"Let's change the topic... what should we do with the piled-up corpses of those abyssal creatures?"
The abyssal creatures left over from the great battle weren't that easy to dispose of!
Chen Xin raised his eyebrows, "How to deal with it? Naturally, burn them all with a fire. The methods of those abyssal creatures are bizarre by nature. If left alone, who knows if they might suddenly mutate and give birth to powerful abyssal creatures!"
Ning Fengzhi vetoed this proposal, "I'm afraid not, the bodies of abyssal creatures are too strong; ordinary flames might not harm them."
Of course, there are disciples in the sect who can use fire-related soul skills, but how many people is that?
Even after exhausting their Soul Power, they might not be able to handle them all!
Chen Xin sighed, "Then Feng Zhi, what do you suggest? We can't just keep piling them up, can we?"
Ning Fengzhi fell into deep thought...
For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with the pile of corpses. He should have asked Xu Sheng more back then!
At this time, Gu Rong came up with another bad idea, "If worse comes to worst, how about burying them all?"
Chen Xin rolled his eyes, "Bury them? That's treating the symptoms, not the cause. Besides, burying them too close would threaten the sect, too far away would take a lot of manpower and resources!"
Being repeatedly rebutted, Gu Rong was also somewhat unhappy, "Then what do you propose we do? This doesn't work, that doesn't work, we can't possibly eat them as food, right?"
Of course, this was just a joke. Who would really dare to eat abyssal creatures!
Not to mention how they came about, just their appearance is disgusting enough!
