Douluo Continent: Protect Our Spirit Hall

Chapter 17 The Spirit Hall Declares War on the Clear Sky Sect

Qianjun and Jiangmo were both handsome.

They are twins.

Both of them possess the top-tier weapon spirit, the Panlong Staff. They are level 96 Super Douluo with a strong attack type, and are the sixth and seventh of the seven elders of the Hall of Worship.

"Yes! Great Master!"

They dared not neglect Qian Daoliu's orders and immediately bowed to accept them.

"What's going on with this saintess? Why is she in there too? Could it be...?"

The two brothers exchanged a glance instinctively, and suddenly their breath caught in their throats. They seemed to be of one mind, each harboring the same terrifying suspicion.

But soon, both of them shook their heads and resumed their expressionless demeanor.

They only needed to follow the instructions of the high priest; they didn't want to concern themselves with anything else.

After all, they were just two emotionless cultivation machines.

It wasn't just them; almost everyone in the temple was like that.

At this moment, the other elders of the Elder Hall had more or less guessed some of the inside story, but they wisely chose to keep it to themselves.

Qian Daoliu surveyed the crowd with an air of authority, repeating what he had emphasized earlier in the Papal Palace, but with slight variations:

"Everything you see, hear, and even your wildest guesses—keep it all a secret! What you know is only for yourselves to know; you are not allowed to share it with each other! And once you go back, keep it all to yourselves!"

After speaking, Qian Daoliu waved his hand and gave a final instruction:

"Go back and prepare. The Spirit Hall is about to face a tough battle!"

"Yes! Great Master!"

The crowd bowed and then dispersed.

Qianjun and Jiangmo entered the Pope's bedroom and took Bibi Dong away.

However, they did not make things difficult for her, nor did they act as if they were apprehending a wanted criminal; they simply followed silently behind Bibi Dong.

Until Bibi Dong returned to the Temple of the Holy Maiden.

They stood guard outside the gates of the Temple of the Virgin, as requested by the High Priest.

After everyone left, Jin E sighed, walked over to Qian Daoliu, and patted him on the shoulder:

"My deepest condolences, please accept my condolences!"

Not long ago, Qian Daoliu had comforted him in the same way.

Now it's his turn.

In an instant, the two felt the same way.

At this moment, Golden Crocodile said, "The Pope's death...was it her doing?"

Although Jin E has a rugged appearance, he is a meticulous and extremely intelligent person.

He was older than Qian Daoliu, over 150 years old, and his mind was already like a demon's.

It was easy to guess the truth of the matter.

He also knew about Bibi Dong's past experiences.

In Jin E's view, it was entirely understandable that Bibi Dong would take the opportunity to retaliate and kill Qian Xunji.

However, he remained loyal to the angelic lineage.

It wasn't appropriate to say much.

"Hmm!" Qian Daoliu nodded, knowing he couldn't hide it from his old brother.

I comforted him not long ago, and now it's his turn to comfort me.

Qian Daoliu felt distressed.

"That woman is a bit of a problem. And her soul power... is growing too fast; her talent is truly terrifying!" Golden Crocodile said.

When Bibi Dong came out of her palace, Jin E, a level 98 Super Douluo, could tell with a casual scan of his spiritual power that Bibi Dong's cultivation had reached level 97.

After a pause, the golden crocodile asked again:

"What does the High Priest intend to do with her?"

"Sigh~~!" Qian Daoliu sighed deeply.

Speak your mind:

"For Xiaoxue's sake, I can't kill her. The Spirit Hall is in a state of flux and needs someone to protect it. Xiaoxue is still too young to be the Pope, so she's the most suitable candidate. I plan to recommend her as Pope."

"Indeed," Golden Crocodile nodded, "it's a good idea."

Although somewhat surprised, he understood Qian Daoliu's personality and way of doing things, and after thinking for a moment, he figured out the reason.

"Hopefully she can change."

Qian Daoliu sighed, his eyes deep and unfathomable. "I will keep a close eye on her. Otherwise, I can give her the papacy, and I can take it back."

Qian Daoliu looked at the golden crocodile and said:

"Let's go back first. Next, Golden Crocodile, you'll also be going out on a mission."

"Go deal with the Haotian Sect. I had an agreement with Tang Chen, promising him I wouldn't set foot in the Haotian Sect. But you can!"

"As for Tang Hao, leave him to me. I'll handle it myself. I'll settle the score with Jin Ming and Ji'er properly."

As he spoke, a murderous glint appeared in Qian Daoliu's eyes:

"After years of seclusion, the mainland seems to have forgotten our existence. They seem to have forgotten what the consequences are for angering the Spirit Hall."

"This time, we must make them understand how serious and terrifying the consequences of angering us are, and that they cannot afford to bear them."

Golden Crocodile's eyes were equally cold. He shrugged his shoulders, cracking his knuckles, and a ferocious look appeared on his rugged old face.

"It's been many years since I've ventured out; it's time for this old man to stretch his muscles. Haotian Sect, prepare to face my wrath!"

Soon, a chilling aura filled Wuhun City, quickly enveloping the entire city.

The residents of Wuhun City felt a sense of oppression, as if a storm was brewing.

Then the news of the Pope's sudden death spread throughout the city.

The Spirit Hall was thrown into chaos. In his grief, Qian Daoliu returned to the mountain to personally handle affairs, appease the crowd, and stabilize the situation.

After learning the cause of the incident, the entire Spirit Hall was united in their hatred of the enemy.

War is about to break out.

The news was spread far and wide through various channels, quickly reaching the hands of major forces on the mainland.

The information originated from the Spirit Hall's transmission channels.

One of them:

"Wanted by the Spirit Hall:"

Tang Hao, a successor of the Haotian Sect, acted perversely and openly attacked the Pope's convoy, resulting in the death of the Pope and an elder of the Elder Hall.

The Spirit Hall is now issuing a nationwide search for Tang Hao's whereabouts. Anyone with information about Tang Hao's location can report it to the Spirit Hall.

Provided the information is confirmed to be reliable, the provider will receive a reward from the Spirit Hall.

Anyone who conceals information or provides assistance to Tang Hao will be considered an enemy of the Spirit Hall once discovered! ..."

The other one is:

"The Spirit Hall shall immediately cease all transactions with the Clear Sky Sect and sever all ties!"

The Spirit Hall has ordered the Clear Sky Sect to hand over Tang Hao, or else it will consider the Clear Sky Sect an enemy and immediately begin war!

All Soul Master factions on the mainland are hereby ordered to refrain from any transactions or contact with the Clear Sky Sect; otherwise, they will be considered enemies of the Spirit Hall, and war will commence immediately! ..."

After these two messages were relayed to every corner of the mainland, the entire continent was in an uproar.

…………

Haotian Sect.

The elderly sect leader of the Haotian Sect also received the news.

He struggled to get out of bed, seriously ill, and took the news that had just come from Wuhun City from his servant.

Since it concerned the Spirit Hall, he had no choice but to take it seriously.

Over the decades, the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall have fought countless battles, both openly and secretly.

Back when his father, Tang Chen, was still alive, the Haotian Sect was at its zenith and no one dared to challenge them.

Even a powerful organization like the Spirit Hall was overpowered by the Clear Sky Sect and had to show them some respect.

However, since Tang Chen disappeared, the Haotian Sect has been on a downward spiral.

Gradually, the Spirit Hall gained the upper hand.

The days of Haotian Sect were not so good.

His father, Tang Chen, had disappeared, but he knew it.

The Spirit Hall also has Qian Daoliu, who can rival Tang Chen.

Most importantly, that person is still alive.

The Spirit Hall is now something the Clear Sky Sect simply cannot afford to offend.

He tolerated everything to avoid angering the Spirit Hall.

He even warned his clansmen that when walking in the world of Soul Masters, they should be careful with their words and deeds, and remember not to anger the Spirit Hall.

The sect leader of Haotian Sect took the note out of the small bamboo tube.

It unfolds slowly.

His cloudy eyes fell on the contents of the note.
