Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 88 Using Righteousness as a Pretext to Confront a Thousand Daoist Streams

Upon hearing the news of Fang Tian's secret rendezvous with the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji was enraged. His first instinct was to kill Fang Tian to vent his anger.

Upon seeing that the report indicated the other party was a young man, he was quite dismissive and sent his men, who specialized in dirty work, to deal with Fang Tian without any investigation.

These people happened to witness Fang Tian meeting with Dugu Bo on their way to kill Fang Tian. After reporting back, Qian Xunji immediately dispatched five Soul Douluos to complete the mission.

If Qian Xunji knew of Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan's reputation, I wonder what he would think?

Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan learned what had happened through interrogation and were speechless. However, since the five men had come with the intention of killing, Fang Tian naturally wouldn't let them go and killed them one by one with a single stroke.

However, now that Dugu Bo and Fang Tian's relationship has been exposed, their parents' whereabouts have also been revealed. It seems I need to have a serious talk with Qian Daoliu.

Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan had Dugu Bo and the three children disguise themselves and hide temporarily in a remote town. The two of them went to Wuhun City to talk to Qian Daoliu.

Since this was a private matter to discuss, we didn't make a big fuss about it.

Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan didn't push their luck. After all, the Spirit Hall helped ordinary people awaken their spirits every year and also helped all of humanity resist the spirit beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. They did a good job, and Fang Tian had no need to be their enemy.

Although Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan punished a few scoundrels from the Spirit Hall when they traveled the continent, they only did so when they had solid evidence, and their families were not implicated.

Afterwards, a detailed document explaining the whole story will be sent to them.

So over the years, the relationship between the two sides has not been particularly good, but they haven't completely fallen out either.

Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan found a reception agency near Wuhun City and, in the name of the Shura Twin Blades, delivered a visiting card to Qian Xunji, arranging to meet the Pope of the Wuhun Hall outside Wuhun City.

Fang Tian estimated that Qian Daoliu would definitely go as well. After all, Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan had killed sect leaders of major sects before, so Qian Daoliu would certainly not trust them.

There were still two days until the finals of the Martial Soul Tournament, so Qian Xunji didn't need to show up for the tournament at all.

Upon receiving the invitation from the Shura Twin Blades, Qian Xunji took it very seriously and immediately sought out Qian Daoliu to discuss countermeasures. It's well known that the Shura Twin Blades were infamous throughout the Douluo Continent for their ruthlessness.

This sudden invitation to Qian Xunji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, made Qian Xunji a little suspicious. He hadn't done anything that would incur divine or public wrath, had he? Could it be that his coveting of his disciple Bibi Dong had been exposed? Impossible!

When Qian Daoliu heard Qian Xunji explain the situation, his expression immediately turned serious.

Three years ago, the Haotian Sect was massacred of its high-ranking members. Qian Daoliu naturally went to investigate the situation and also visited his old friend Tang Chen.

Qian Daoliu learned about Fang Tian's situation from Tang Chen; the other party had actually managed to remain undefeated in his battle against Tang Chen. At that moment, Qian Daoliu felt a chill run down his spine; Fang Tian was on the same level as him.

There's no need to offend them normally, and I haven't heard of them having any powerful connections or friends. If we rashly offend them, the Spirit Hall might suffer losses and not even be able to find anyone to retaliate against.

Now that the other party has come knocking, although they have politely presented a visiting card, it is still unclear whether they are friend or foe.

Qian Daoliu finally decided to take the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, with him to meet the renowned Asura Twin Blades.

Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan did not wait outside Spirit City for long. In less than an hour, the Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji arrived outside Spirit City with two trusted Douluo, Qian Daoliu, and Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Greetings to His Holiness the Pope of the Spirit Hall, greetings to the Grand Elder and the Second Elder. Greetings to the two Douluo." Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan bowed slightly in greeting.

This salute is a sign of respect for the Spirit Hall's past efforts in helping ordinary people awaken their spirits and protecting humanity from spirit beasts.

Seeing how polite the other party was, Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji felt much relieved. "It seems they're not here to cause trouble."

Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji did not presume and returned the greeting. "May I ask what brings you two here?"

"It's nothing serious. His Holiness the Pope sent people to hunt down our students and relatives yesterday, so we're just here to inquire about the situation," Fang Tian said with a smile.

"I wonder what they did wrong that warrants sending five Soul Douluos to hunt them down?" Fang Tian naturally knew the reason was a misunderstanding, but he still wanted to maintain control of the situation.

"Chasing after your relatives and friends?" Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Xunji with suspicion.

Qian Xunji looked somewhat bewildered. Yesterday, he had indeed issued a kill order against a young man and his close associates, and he had indeed sent five Soul Douluos.

At the time, he thought he was just chasing a nobody, but he never expected that the person was actually a friend or relative of the Shura Twin Blades. Moreover, the other party had not done anything wrong; it was just that Qian Xunji was angry at the time, and chasing after the other party was merely an act of venting his anger.

Qian Xunji is now in a bind! Should he tell the other party that his pursuit was merely an act of venting his anger? That would not only make the other party unforgiving, but Qian Daoliu would also faint from anger.

"May His Holiness the Pope tell me what they did wrong? If there is indeed a reason, I will kill them myself without Your Holiness's intervention," Fang Tian pressed once again.

"I'm really sorry, but when I saw you, I was so angry because I remembered that you had killed many of my Spirit Hall members that I sent my men to hunt you down."

Later, suppressing his anger, he realized this was inappropriate and quickly sent someone to notify them to withdraw, but the messenger could no longer find them. Qian Xunji, worthy of being a pope, quickly came up with a plausible excuse.

"Your Holiness seems to have some misunderstanding. The Spirit Hall people I killed were all wicked individuals, and I believe Your Holiness has seen the evidence I provided each time."

To be honest, my spirit was awakened with the help of the Spirit Hall, and I have a deep affection for the Spirit Hall. I killed those people because they had committed numerous evils, not only damaging the reputation of the Spirit Hall but also destroying its image among the common people. This was undermining the very foundation of the Spirit Hall's stability.

"To be honest, I believe that killing them would greatly benefit the Spirit Hall. Each time, I would deliver evidence of their crimes to the Spirit Hall. If the Spirit Hall itself sent someone there to announce that the person had committed heinous crimes and had been killed by the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall's reputation would actually rise rather than fall." Fang Tian launched into a long explanation, justifying the correctness of his actions.

No matter what, we must hold onto this noble cause forever.

Under this grand pretext, Qian Xunji's reason suddenly seemed somewhat petty.
