Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul Tu Shan Su Su, a tangled web of fate.

Chapter 60: Birth and Poaching!

"Uncle Bones~"

"Sorry, Uncle Ainz got too excited!"

Ning Fengzhi patted his arm, and only then did Bone Douluo reluctantly put Lin Jiuxuan down.

"Old bones! Sigh!" Sword Douluo sighed, this was truly a dilemma for him!

"In that case, we won't disturb Lord Lin any longer!"

"But this matter concerns the reputation of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so please keep it a secret!"

After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he left with the others.

Lin Jiuxuan walked out of the private room, looking dejected.

But they saw the old poisoner, Su Su, and the beautiful snake woman having a great time.

"Brother Jiuxuan, you're finally out!"

Su Su took a few steps and grabbed Lin Jiuxuan's hand.

"Grandpa Poison said we're moving to a new house, is that true?"

"Yes, really, let's go!"

Xuexing clearly knew about Xueye's arrangements long ago and had vacated her residence well in advance.

They even arranged for someone to guide her, just in case Lin Jiuxuan couldn't find her way.

"Hey, Senior Poison, aren't you going back?"

Lin Jiuxuan looked at Dugu Bo, who was following behind, with a puzzled expression.

"I hired Poison Grandpa to protect us! I paid him ten lollipops as payment!"

Su Su immediately stepped forward, looking both proud and somewhat pained, and said...

"Ahem, I'm only doing this for a few days out of courtesy because I'm afraid some people might lack martial ethics and launch another sneak attack!"

The old poisoner said somewhat awkwardly, "I would never admit that I accepted a bribe."

"It's clearly me, Grandpa, please help take care of my junior, okay?"

Dugu Yan, dissatisfied, put her hands on her hips and pointed.

She noticed at the banquet that the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were looking at Lin Jiuxuan strangely.

Then, I heard that they wanted to see Lin Jiuxuan alone.

Using the excuse of looking for Su Su to play, he pulled Dugu Bo along.

"So, senior, are you going to move in too?" Lin Jiuxuan scratched her head and looked at Dugu Yan.

"What? You're not welcoming me?"

"No, no, I was just asking, just asking!"

"Don't worry, I don't want to live with you guys yet!"

Dugu Yan said proudly, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

"I get up super early every day, and the time I spend commuting could have been used to take another nap!"

Old Lu and Old Poisoner didn't say anything, just watched the two of them with smiles.

Tu Shan Honghong, in the chaotic space, sat quietly under the Bitter Love Tree, hugging her knees, looking at the two with a calm expression.

She naturally noticed early on that Dugu Yan had a slight affection for Lin Jiuxuan.

But she just watched calmly.

Lin Jiuxuan looked at this extraordinary mansion, which was magnificent and far more luxurious and extravagant than the previous Lin mansion.

But he always felt that it wasn't as comfortable as the place he used to live.

Now that they've moved to a new place, the powerful and influential people who were already trying to curry favor with them finally have an excuse to do so.

A long line of people, including earls, marquises, generals, and commanders, stood in front of the Lin family mansion. They were all prominent and powerful figures.

At this moment, all they could do was obediently wait in line.

In terms of peerage, Lin Jiuxuan is currently a duke, second only to a prince.

In terms of authority, no one could surpass him except Marshal Goron.

He rose to become one of the most powerful and influential figures in Tiandou.

Aside from meeting Roger, the middle-aged Soul Master who was the deputy commander of the Black Tiger Army, and the envoy sent by 'Qian Renxue', Lin Jiuxuan also met other members of the Black Tiger Army.

The others didn't pay much attention.

As Lin Jiuxuan had predicted, the next day, early in the morning...

Rumors are circulating that the culprit behind the previous attack on Tian Dou City was none other than Tang Chen, the previous generation Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect.

While condemning Tang Chen for indiscriminately killing innocent people, an arrest warrant was issued, declaring that he had become a demon, and giving clear instructions to anyone who discovered him:

Once Tang Chen's whereabouts are discovered, you must retreat immediately and report it to the authorities.

At the same time, it is demanded that the Haotian Sect give an explanation to the Tiandou Empire and to the millions of people who died!

The Spirit Temple, represented by Salas, also issued a declaration.

They stated their intention to maintain stability and peace in the Douluo Continent and that they would do everything in their power to apprehend Tang Chen.

They have already taken Tang Yuehua hostage in order to put pressure on the Haotian Sect.

Clearly, Emperor Xueye and the Spirit Hall have reached some kind of agreement, and they have decided to join forces to put pressure on the Clear Sky Sect.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a force already closely tied to the Heaven Dou royal family, was also forced to state its position.

They knew that if they didn't choose a team...

In order to quell the anger of the nobles and the people and consolidate its own position, the Heaven Dou Empire may be more inclined to support the Spirit Hall.

The Haotian Sect has remained in seclusion, while the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has always remained neutral.

Without the Heaven Dou Empire as an ally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would inevitably face heavy suppression from the Spirit Hall.

Haotian Sect.

Towering ten thousand feet high, a solitary cliff hangs alone.

The Haotian Palace sits atop a solitary peak, its black and ancient architecture exuding a profound sense of power.

"This is outrageous!"

"The Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! How dare you insult my Clear Sky Sect like this!"

The Seventh Elder roared, his indignation overflowing. He slammed his fist on the stone table, which instantly turned to dust.

His voice echoed throughout the hall, resonating with the other elders.

"Sect Master, what are you waiting for? Come out of the mountains! Welcome back the old Sect Master!"

"Yes, let's go down the mountain! Let's welcome back the old sect leader!!"

The other elders echoed the call, their eyes fixed intently on Tang Xiao, the sect leader of Haotian Sect.

The Haotian Sect is not far from Tiandou City. Yesterday, they learned that the old sect leader, Tang Chen, was still alive, and the entire sect was overjoyed.

However, the news of Tang Yuehua's capture and the arrest warrant for Tang Chen came as a bolt from the blue, enraging them beyond measure.

How dare they?

Is this a fight to the death?

However, as long as Tang Chen is alive, they are not afraid of anyone!

Tang Chen is a god in their hearts!

Tang Xiao was equally furious; Tang Yuehua was his own sister!

However, these three powerful forces almost represented the entire Soul Master world, so the Clear Sky Sect was naturally not afraid of them at its peak.

Now that they have lost all their wings and only have seven or eight hundred direct disciples left, can they withstand such great pressure?

"Tang Xiao, you coward, what are you hesitating for?"

"You don't even care about your own grandfather anymore?"

"Are they afraid of losing their position if they welcome back the old sect leader?"

The Second Elder slammed his fist on the table and pointed at Tang Xiao's nose, angrily rebuking him.

"I don't!"

"Even if you disagree, we've made our decision. We'll leave the mountain and welcome back the old sect master. As for those people from the Heaven Dou and Spirit Hall, they'd better not fall into my hands!"

The Seventh Elder stormed off in a huff.

The other elders also turned and left.

finally,

Under strong pressure from the elders, Tang Xiao had no choice but to announce the return of the Haotian Sect.

Faced with external doubts and pressure, the Haotian Sect has shown an unprecedentedly tough attitude.

"The old sect leader punished the wicked and eliminated evil; the deaths and injuries were all the fault of those villains. If you're not satisfied, go and reason with the Haotian Sect!!"

The voice of the Haotian Sect was like thunder, shaking the entire Soul Master world.

When facing the Spirit Hall, they directly brought up the bet between Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu.

No one from the Spirit Hall is allowed to set foot on the territory of the Clear Sky Sect!

Faced with the shameless face of the Haotian Sect.

Countless people were shocked.

Even more shocking, of course, was Tang Xiao's direct announcement that the Clear Sky Sect had five Title Douluo elders.

Including Tang Hao, Tang Chen, and himself, the total number reached an astonishing eight Title Douluos!

For a time, the Clear Sky Sect's popularity completely overshadowed that of the Spirit Hall.

It should be noted that the Spirit Hall only has three Title Douluos who are active outside: Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Ghost, and others.

It is speculated that there are only five or six people involved.

This led many wavering Soul Masters to consider defecting to another faction.

Of course, this also made the Haotian Sect a target of public criticism, and its domineering and arrogant image made many forces uneasy.

Compared to the Haotian Sect's anger, which affected tens of thousands of people.

The arrogance and greed of the Spirit Hall seemed utterly insignificant.

Tang Xiao had no choice; the King of Slaughter's attack had directly put the Haotian Sect in the spotlight.

If one cannot suppress the villains with absolute power, one will inevitably fall into endless chaos.

At least now he can catch his breath. If he can welcome back his grandfather Tang Chen, he believes everything will be resolved.

Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall was also shocked by this sudden news.

Even she felt a slight sense of apprehension at the power of the eight Title Douluos.

Not to mention Tang Chen, whose whereabouts are unknown, he is a peerless expert comparable to Qian Daoliu.

Therefore, she had to conserve her strength to deal with the emergence of the Haotian Sect, and at the same time, her hatred for Qian Daoliu intensified.

Emperor Xueye summoned Ning Fengzhi, Poison Douluo, and Lin Jiuxuan overnight to discuss countermeasures.

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex remained silent.

The Star Luo Empire, which already had an ambiguous relationship with the Haotian Sect, immediately sent envoys, their intentions unclear.

In an instant, the Douluo Continent was in turmoil.

Lin Jiuxuan and the others discussed it all night, but Ning Fengzhi, that old fox, kept trying to smooth things over.

In the end, nothing was agreed upon.

He didn't believe that the Spirit Hall's strength was only what it appeared to be. He was sure that since Tang Chen hadn't died, Qian Daoliu was still alive.

He was hoping that the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall would fight each other.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could easily reap the benefits.

Ultimately, thanks to the efforts of Lin Jiuxuan and Qian Renxue, coupled with Xueye's dissatisfaction with the Haotian Sect, the situation was resolved.

Tang Chen's arrest warrant was not revoked, and a decision was made to temporarily suspend the confrontation with the Spirit Hall.

"Do the three conditions that Senior Poison Douluo mentioned earlier still stand?"

Inside the carriage, Lin Jiuxuan suddenly asked Dugu Bo, who was having a big fight with Su Su.

Dugu Bo turned his head, his expression turning stern. "Ha, what do you take me for? Someone you can't even count your spit on!"

"What do you want me to do for you, young man?"

Seemingly remembering something else, he added a sentence.

"Let's make this clear beforehand, don't mention anything about attacking the Clear Sky Sect!"

"I treat you like an elder, how could I let you put yourself in danger!"

Lin Jiuxuan said righteously.

"However, I would appreciate it if you could make the trip, senior. I have heard that the Blacksmith Association is not well-regarded. I would like to ask you to act as a Heavenly Stealer to recruit them."

"Furthermore, regarding the four single-attribute families that previously broke away from the Haotian Sect, I would be grateful if you could make the trip for us, Senior. The Breaking Clan..."

As she spoke, Lin Jiuxuan took out a large, pale pink flower, half a meter tall, from her treasure pouch.

After packing it into a jade box, he handed it to Dugu Bo.

"With this exquisite and fragrant celestial product, I believe it will be easy to win over the Po clan, and then it is also very likely that we can take advantage of the situation to subdue the Yu clan."

Dugu Bo put away the jade box and said quietly:

"Hehe, that's not difficult at all, but don't even think about the Blacksmiths' Association!"

"They were already absorbed by the secondhand guild!"

"How come you didn't know?"

Dugu Bo found Lin Jiuxuan's incredulous expression quite amusing.

"When did this happen?"

prior to,

Lin Jiuxuan had a vague feeling that something was wrong with that secondhand guild, and now the feeling was even stronger!

"Hmm, let me think, it was probably more than ten years ago! Back then, they started out by repairing soul tools through the blacksmiths' guild!"

"So, how strong are they?"

Dugu Bo asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking so many questions?"

"Haha, it's just curiosity!" Lin Jiuxuan replied dismissively.

"That's a top-tier, first-class force, with at least three Soul Douluos in charge! But it's still quite a distance from the Lower Four Sects."

"To become one of the Lower Four Sects, one must either possess a Title Douluo or have produced a Title Douluo within the last hundred years and possess more than five Soul Douluos. Only then can one have a chance to compete for a position among the Lower Four Sects."

Dugu Bo said calmly that although he had the ability, he didn't have the inclination.

Lin Jiuxuan had high suspicions about this secondhand guild.

However, since the other party hasn't provoked me, I'll just leave them alone.

When we have the strength, or when Dugu Bo has the time, we'll go and find out for sure.

Let's cut off the henchmen of the Clear Sky Sect first.

There are also potential threats, Tang San.

Since even the Asura God has intervened, this guy is definitely not so easy to get rid of.

Ah Yin and the Blue Silver King are hard to find, but Tang Hao is by her side.

Even if the Spirit Hall knew their whereabouts, they wouldn't dare to make a move so easily now!

All he could do was intercept the head soul bone from the Soul Master Competition.

Tang Chen's whereabouts were unknown to others, but he guessed that there was a high probability that he had returned to the Killing City.

But that place was the territory of the Asura God, and he had no intention of destroying the prison in a fit of madness.

Moreover, most people don't have the qualifications to embark on the path to hell.

After giving instructions to Dugu Bo, Lin Jiuxuan returned to the manor.

The uproar surrounding the emergence of the Haotian Sect gradually subsided with the passage of time.

Lin Jiuxuan's life gradually returned to normal. He went to the academy every day and immersed himself in learning and training.

Every nightfall,

He then devoted himself to cultivation, repeatedly studying the exorcism technique that Tu Shan Hong Hong had taught him.

Familiarize yourself with your newly acquired external soul bone.

"drink!"

Lin Jiuxuan struck out with his palm against the brick wall more than ten meters away.

With a loud "boom," a cloud of dust billowed up, and the brick wall swayed violently, but ultimately remained standing.

However, a deep palm print, about two inches deep, was left on the wall.

The ancient trees around seemed to sense the fluctuation of this power as well.

The leaves on the trees were a more withered yellow than the surrounding trees, as if they had been attacked by some invisible force.

"Phew~"

Lin Jiuxuan's face was slightly pale. He slowly withdrew his palm and exhaled a deep breath.

As he exhaled the turbid air, the golden flame in his palm went out.

He already had a hunch about the flame; it was closely related to the power of the Exorcism Technique.
