Chapter 61: Salas Explodes Over Bibi Dong's Methods of Controlling People

At the Coconut Grove Tavern, Zhang Wu sat on the second floor with a box and ordered a cup of clear sake.

After a long time, at least an hour, Zhang Wu picked up the box and walked out of the tavern.

Because he had already received instructions from Salas and was preparing to complete the mission.

He feigned caution along the way, carefully sneaking into a deserted alley.

But he knew that Lingxu and many others were following behind him.

To prevent Salas from discovering Lingxu, only the Blood-Piercing Elder, the She Long Elder, and Ling Bufan were following.

After all, Salas was also a Spirit Douluo; this matter had to be handled carefully, otherwise the long preparation would be wasted.

Passing through one alley bend after another, he soon arrived at a dead-end alley; there were indeed very few people here.

However, along the way, Salas was still carefully observing the surrounding situation.

He could not let anyone discover this matter, including this Zhang Wu.

The two were almost one after the other; not long after Zhang Wu arrived, Salas arrived wearing a set of concealing clothes.

Moreover, these clothes were not black, but a set of tattered, multicolored rags with various colors interspersed among them.

They even emitted a faint stench; Salas had truly made a great sacrifice to disguise himself.

Yet no matter how Salas thought about it, he would never have guessed that Lingxu had long suspected him.

And at this moment, his every move was under the eyes of Ling Bufan and the two Title Douluos.

"I have brought you the head you wanted; where are my remaining 20,000 Gold Soul Coins?" Zhang Wu continued.

"Good, but I need to verify it," Salas said. At this time, Salas's voice had also changed; his disguise was very thorough.

During this period, his people had not found any news of Lingxu, but he also had no information on Ling Bufan; only Luo Xingyue was anxiously searching for something every day.

However, he was still somewhat suspicious of these things.

Zhang Wu said: "Fine, I don't know why you want to kill this Lingxu; at eleven years old and over level thirty, he can be called a genius, and he even has people protecting him."

As he spoke, a chill came over, and Salas said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, otherwise..."

But when he opened the box, he found that there was only a stone inside.

"You're playing me?" Salas was furious; this assassin before him definitely could not be left alive.

Salas prepared to make a move, reaching out with one hand toward Zhang Wu.

Although Salas was already very old, his strength as a Spirit Douluo was not fake; facing the level 72 Zhang Wu, he had a great advantage and could even kill him instantly.

But at this moment, Zhang Wu shouted loudly: "Save me!"

But at this moment, no one saved him; according to Lingxu's words, this Zhang Wu also deserved to die.

However, Lingxu had promised him that if he performed well, he would let him go, so it was best to let Salas kill the other party, which did not violate Lingxu's intentions.

Salas's punch was extremely swift.

Zhang Wu had originally thought that Lingxu would send someone to save him, but he was clearly careless and had thought too much.

With a thud, Zhang Wu was struck in the heart by Salas's punch, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Lingxu, you... you harmed me!"

"Salas, don't be smug; if I die, you won't fare any better."

After Zhang Wu fell to the ground, Salas immediately went up and stabbed him twice more, but after finishing, he felt a bit panicked.

Because he had already sensed that three people had appeared beside him, each one more powerful than the last.

And Ling Bufan had also arrived in front of Salas.

Salas immediately said: "Brother Bufan, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Then he looked back and discovered that it was actually his acquaintance.

"Elder Ci Xue, Elder She Long, it has been a long time since we last met; this time you must listen to my explanation," Salas said.

He had known Ci Xue and She Long for decades; they were Spirit Masters from the same period, and they had also completed several missions together. Even if they didn't have deep friendship, they could still be considered friends.

Ci Xue shook his head and said: "Salas, we didn't expect that you would actually make a move against Lingxu. Don't you know how highly the Grand Pontiff regards Lingxu? You actually sent people to assassinate Lingxu three times."

"That's right, this time we cannot protect you either," She Long shook his head and said.

It was also at this moment that Qian Renxue and Lingxu both arrived, and of course, so did Luo Xingyue.

"Anyone who kills my Brother Lingxu must die!" When Qian Renxue arrived, her voice also came through.

Lingxu was her bottom line; if someone had ill intentions toward Lingxu, then she would not be polite to them.

Deep down, Qian Renxue also had a ruthless streak.

"That's right, Salas, you old thing, you actually killed my son; today we will not let you go," Luo Xingyue said.

Salas knew that everyone today was looking for him; if everyone attacked together, he would definitely not be a match.

At this moment, Salas laughed instead.

"You are all people of the Spirit Empire; I am a Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Empire, and even the Elders of the Spirit Hall do not have the qualifications to dispose of me."

"Even if I am to be disposed of, it must be with the Pope's consent."

Speaking of this, Salas was actually still somewhat smug.

Lingxu smiled and said: "Is that so?"

"Xue'er, it's up to you."

Qian Renxue stepped forward and directly activated her martial soul.

The Angel Spirit appeared, and at this moment, Salas panicked.

"You, who are you?"

In the Spirit Empire, there was a group of people, or rather many people, who had a strong sense of awe toward the Angel Spirit.

And among them was Salas; in fact, everyone present except for Lingxu and Qian Renxue felt the same.

Subsequently, Qian Renxue took out a token, and everyone recognized this token.

Seeing this, Salas was completely panicked, his legs unable to stop themselves from kneeling down, "This is? The Offering Token of the Grand Pontiff?"

Qian Daoliu is a mythical existence within the Spirit Hall, especially to the older generation of Spirit Hall members.

At this point, Salas did not know what to do either.

"Speak, Salas, who exactly sent you to kill me? After all, there is no great enmity between you and me," Lingxu asked.

"Brother Lingxu is asking you a question, why don't you answer quickly?" Qian Renxue also questioned him; she actually already had an answer in her heart, but it had not been confirmed.

Salas smiled, but said: "No one sent me to kill you; it is I who wants to kill you. The first time was because you ate one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins worth of my things at the Heaven Dou First Tavern; that is the reason I want to kill you."

Before Lingxu could respond, Salas did not give him the chance at all, and his body actually began to swell.

"Not good, he is going to self-destruct," the Pufferfish Douluo shouted.

The two Title Douluo immediately took people and left; their first priority was to protect Qian Renxue.

Fortunately, Lingxu also had someone to protect him at the moment of the self-destruction.

Ling Bufan arrived at Lingxu's side, and the attire covering his entire body was released from within his body, simultaneously emitting a golden light.

The Spirit Bone Suit of the Holy Light Tiger martial soul blocked all damage for Lingxu.

Fortunately, Salas's soul power was already on the decline, and his self-destruction was too hasty, so its power was not unleashed to the maximum; if it had been slower, at least three people here could have stopped him.

Knowing he could not survive, Salas still risked it all, and he did not reveal the person behind him.

Even Lingxu was somewhat puzzled; he really did not know how many benefits Bibi Dong had given him.

After all, Bibi Dong had only recently taken office as Pope; one has to say that this method of controlling people is truly extraordinary.
