Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 406 Investigation
Tang San's seemingly unintentional mention, merely a sweet and flattering compliment, actually struck a chord deep within Qian Renxue's heart with the word "dream."

Qian Renxue, who originally had a hint of aloofness between her brows, now had a charming smile involuntarily curving her lips, her eyes sparkling as if she had remembered something happy.

Her Highness doesn't usually smile, unless she can't help it.

Qian Renxue hurriedly composed herself, not knowing how such a scene had occurred during her divine exam. In the end, she could only take that scene from two years ago as a 'divine exam reward'.

"Who taught you all these words?" Qian Renxue looked at Tang San with a mixture of cold arrogance, charm, and sanctity between her brows.

"My aunt taught me that," Tang San said without hiding anything. "Nobles should treat women with respect, consideration, and politeness, and they should also offer praise."

Qian Renxue didn't say anything, after all, Tang San's aunt, Tang Yuehua, was very famous. She was the etiquette master of the royal families of the two great empires, and even Qian Renxue had heard of Tang Yuehua's name.

Seeing that the topic had come to an end, Qian Renxue brought up another topic and asked, "Is the Divine Envoy Hu Liena in the City of Slaughter?"

Hu Liena naturally holds a position in the Spirit Hall; the title "Golden Generation" is merely a popular designation, not her official position.

Tang San didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "Yes, Hu Liena said she came to the City of Slaughter for training. Are you looking for her?"

Qian Renxue nodded and said, "Envoy Hu Liena has been gone for some time now. If she has completed her training, she should return to the Spirit Hall."

The Spirit Hall is different from the academy. The Spirit Hall aims to punish evil and uphold justice for all spirit masters. It requires members to travel to various parts of the Douluo Continent every now and then to help people eliminate spirit beasts or capture spirit masters who are harming the people. In short, members need to do missions regularly and cannot occupy positions indefinitely.

“I know where Hu Liena is. Most of the Fallen Ones in the Battle of Slaughter City have been sacrificed by the King of Slaughter, but there are still some Fallen Ones who are not dead. I will hand these Fallen Ones over to your Spirit Hall. As for the entrance to Slaughter City, our Clear Sky Sect plans to temporarily close it and not allow others to enter Slaughter City.”

"As for whether the Slaughter City will be opened later, it has not been decided yet. If it is opened, our sect leader will inform the Spirit Hall."

Hearing that the Clear Sky Sect planned to close the Slaughter City was naturally the best thing to do. This way, the Slaughter City, as a hiding place, would be eradicated, and evil soul masters would have nowhere to hide, making it easier for the Spirit Hall to capture and eliminate them.

Although Qian Renxue believed that Tang San had not lied to her, because of Hu Liena, Tang San ultimately led Qian Renxue, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo into the special space of the Slaughter City.

"Such a strong aura of slaughter." The moment she entered the City of Slaughter, Qian Renxue immediately sensed the existence of the Sea of ​​Blood. It was created by the God of Asura and was filled with the power of slaughter to maintain the Divine Trial and the Asura Divine Sword.

When Qian Renxue entered the City of Slaughter, she already knew that the Asura Divine Sword was indeed gone. If it were, her Angelic Martial Soul would have been able to detect it.

Ghost Douluo's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "This is a treasure land. Even a Title Douluo would achieve twice the results with half the effort by cultivating here."

Ghost Douluo's martial soul is Ghostly, a very special kind of martial soul, which is obviously very suitable for Ghost Douluo.

"I've heard that one can acquire a domain here. Is that really true?" Ghost Douluo asked Tang San, showing some interest.

Tang San glanced at Ghost Douluo, then nodded and said, "That's true. Hu Liena came here to train in order to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain, and she succeeded in the end. However, now that the King of Slaughter is dead, it will probably not be so easy to open the entrance to Hell Road."

"That's a real pity." Ghost Douluo shook his head helplessly. If he could obtain the Killing God Domain, his cultivation might have advanced another level. Soon, Tang San and the others arrived at the Slaughter Palace. When Hu Liena saw Qian Renxue and the two Title Douluo elders appear, her expression changed.

"Hu Liena greets Her Highness the Holy Maiden, Elder Gui, and Elder Ju." Hu Liena quickly knelt on one knee and bowed to Qian Renxue.

Seeing the little fox Hu Liena completely subdued by Qian Renxue, Tang San couldn't help but smile.

Qian Renxue's face was cold and she said calmly, "Envoy Hu Liena, there's no need for such formalities. Now that you have completed your training, you can come with us to escort the Fallen back to the Spirit Hall."

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Hu Liena felt distressed, but she maintained a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "Yes, sir."

The transfer of the Fallen Ones went smoothly; after the death of the Nine-Headed Bat King, all of them were imprisoned.

In one part of the Slaughter Palace, Tang San, acting as host, led Qian Renxue through the palace and suddenly asked, "Senior Saintess, how's your investigation going with that matter?"

The question Tang San asked was naturally about why the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Finals were not hosted by the Spirit Hall, but by the Heaven Dou Royal Family.

Although the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition has absolutely nothing to do with the insectoid beings of the God Realm, everything is too coincidental, making Tang San suspicious. And the Holy Maiden is naturally the easiest person to investigate the Spirit Hall.

As expected, Qian Renxue nodded and said, "We found out, there is indeed something fishy going on."

!!!

Qian Renxue's brows furrowed with a hint of coldness as she said in a chilling voice, "Originally, the Spirit Hall should indeed be responsible for rewarding the winners of the finals and organizing the event. However, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, colluded with the red-robed elder of the Spirit Hall in charge of the competition, exchanging private benefits for the qualification to host this competition."

"A red-robed elder?" Tang San frowned and asked, "Does a red-robed elder have that much power? Doesn't the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition require rewards?"

Qian Renxue said with some helplessness, "Although my father is the Pope, he can't manage everything. So many things are handled by the Red-Robed Elders. Whether the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament is held or not depends on the situation of the Spirit Hall's treasury. At that time, everyone thought that the Spirit Hall's treasury was empty and that the resources had been given to other divine envoys, so they gave up the competition."

Tang San glanced at Qian Renxue. Judging from her eyes and expression, Qian Renxue was not lying, and he guessed that this was the situation she had found out.

Tang San thought to himself, "Is this really the truth, or was even Qian Renxue deceived?"

Without a doubt, within the Spirit Hall, only Pope Qian Xunji and the old Pope Qian Daoliu could deceive the Holy Maiden.

Of course, it's also possible that the Spirit Hall's higher-ups are corrupt, and it wouldn't be surprising if they sold out the Spirit Hall's candidacy for personal gain.

Tang San naturally couldn't pry into the details. If he rashly told Qian Renxue that her father or grandfather might have colluded with the insectoids and massacred the royal families of two empires and countless people in the imperial city, it might alert them. Tang San himself currently lacked conclusive evidence.

"Is Senior Sister Saintess going back to the Spirit Hall next?"
