Chapter 6 Leaving the Secret Chamber
Yue Guan couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. Bibi Dong had clearly ordered them to wait before the Pope's throne for her "blessing" a week ago.
But how long had it been? A whole week had passed without her emerging—something that had never happened before.
He couldn't help but wonder: had Bibi Dong been killed by that person?
And instead of seeking revenge, were they foolishly waiting for her to come out?
Having almost caused trouble just now, Yue Guan didn't speak this time; instead, he used his technique of forcing a sound into a line and communicating with a ghostly voice.
"Old Ghost, do you think Her Holiness the Pope might have encountered an accident inside, perhaps from that person..."
Ghost paused for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "Unlikely. Her Holiness the Pope's strength is terrifying. The pressure she exerted on me was no less than that of the High Priest. And we were absolutely certain back then that the person only had a strong life aura, without any fluctuation of soul power."
"This..."
"Besides, nothing happened for six whole years, how could an accident suddenly occur? Could it be that the person suddenly became stronger than Her Holiness the Pope? Perhaps Her Holiness was preparing to break through inside, constantly... replenishing the energy needed for the breakthrough."
Look at that, this is the art of speaking, what devouring? Her Holiness was just replenishing energy!
In reality...
Bibi Dong was indeed replenishing energy, replenishing for a week, and it was full, almost overflowing...
"You're right, maybe I'm overthinking it."
Yue Guan was convinced by Ghost's reasoning.
Ghost was right, Mu Changge indeed didn't have soul power, nor had he suddenly become stronger than Bibi Dong.
What they didn't know was that although Mu Changge didn't have soul power, his body had suddenly become exceptionally terrifying.
Or rather, he regained the strength that this body should have possessed in this world.
Plus, an unknown entity was helping Mu Changge; otherwise, why would Bibi Dong have experienced such a rare backlash of uncontrolled soul power,
failing to recover for a whole week and allowing Mu Changge to humiliate her for so long?
During that week, Bibi Dong couldn't mobilize her soul power to strengthen herself, and against the abnormally powerful Mu Changge, she was practically tortured to death. Who knows how Bibi Dong survived that week?
"So, in that case, should we still wait?"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were practically inseparable, and when they were together, Yue Guan always prioritized Gui Mei's opinion.
Faced with Yue Guan's question, Gui Mei fell silent again.
Wait?
He had made that choice on the third day, and now a week had passed, and Bibi Dong still hadn't emerged.
Perhaps Bibi Dong was really in seclusion inside; in that case, it wouldn't be just a matter of ten or eight days. Who knew how long they would have to wait?
Not wait?
Then this whole week would have been a complete waste!
Just as Ghost was struggling with his thoughts, a "thump" came from behind, interrupting his train of thought.
Turning around, he saw that one of the Soul Douluos had simply collapsed and fallen asleep on the ground.
This seemed to be a signal, as the remaining dozen or so people either lay or sat on the ground, their faces showing exhaustion.
One of them whispered, "Elder Ghost, should we go back first and ask for His Holiness the Pope's blessing again after he emerges from seclusion? It's just a matter of timing."
Ah…
Ghost suddenly realized he'd gotten himself into a rut. They hadn't wanted to leave because they wanted to receive the energy immediately for their breakthrough.
But after standing for a week without rest, he was dizzy and thought that leaving now would prevent them from receiving life energy.
To cover his embarrassment, Ghost said with a straight face, "Hmm, alright, let's leave." Having said that, he grabbed the still-unresponsive Yue Guan and left the Papal Palace first.
The remaining Soul Douluos almost cried with emotion, knowing that the difference between a Soul Douluo and a Title Douluo was immense.
Even Yue Guan, a Super Douluo, felt utterly exhausted; the rest of them, a group of lowly Soul Douluos, felt like they were about to collapse from exhaustion.
But since the two leaders showed no sign of leaving, how could they dare to suggest leaving?
So, the Soul Douluos could only stand respectfully before the throne, just like Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
If it weren't for the weakest guy falling asleep while standing, they didn't know how long they would have stood there.
Out of gratitude for that guy, they didn't forget to drag him along before leaving…
…
The Papal Palace was connected to the Papal Palace, and the secret chamber where Mu Changge was imprisoned was located below the Papal Palace.
So, he immediately entered this luxurious and elegant room, filled with a faint fragrance.
Mu Changge sniffed carefully and discovered that the fragrance was none other than Bibi Dong's body odor, which he had smelled a week ago.
Why a week ago?
Because from the day after Mu Changge broke free of his chains, Bibi Dong's body odor had been overwhelmed by the scent of photinia flowers and sweat.
Later, with dried white marks all over her body and face, these two smells became even stronger, almost undetectable, like a swarm of flies buzzing around her.
Now, upon smelling this fragrance, Mu Changge strangely missed the sweet-smelling Bibi Dong.
Looking at the soft golden silk quilt on the bed, Mu Changge decided that he would definitely sleep here with Bibi Dong in his arms from now on.
However, his priority was to leave this place safely.
Mu Changge, his vigilance heightened, slowly walked towards the outside. He didn't know how strong he, without cultivation and relying solely on his physical strength to fight, was among the Soul Masters.
As for Bibi Dong, whom he had been humiliated by?
That was a special case; that kind of "battle" couldn't be considered a proper fight. Even if he easily defeated Bibi Dong, there was no way to compare their strength.
Therefore, it was best not to fight if possible, but if he encountered obstacles, he would have no choice but to force his way out.
However, to Mu Changge's surprise, he walked from Bibi Dong's palace all the way to the Pope's throne without encountering a single person.
Before him were the wide-open gates of the Pope's Palace. Looking out from inside, it was already night, and there wasn't a soul in sight.
As for why the Pope's Palace gates were wide open…
well, those Soul Douluos who were about to die forgot to close them before leaving.
However, Mu Changge still didn't relax his tense nerves, only pausing briefly before the Pope's throne.
He thought: Bibi Dong's Pope's Throne? Sitting on it and "fighting" with Bibi Dong would be quite exciting, wouldn't it?
Mu Changge left the Pope's Palace and headed towards the city gate, but it was already very late, and the gates of Wuhun City seemed to be closed.
But that wasn't a problem for him at all. He could just kick down the city gate; he was confident in his physical strength.
"Yan, I told you not to bother me, I'm going to find my teacher!"
He hadn't taken more than a few steps when he heard an impatient female voice from not far away.
