Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 543 The Black Hand!

He promised to stop the establishment of the Spirit Empire, but in the end, he's the one who has to help it get started!?

What am I even doing here?!

According to Qian Daoliu, wouldn't the plot just return to the original story? The main villain, the Spirit Hall, is ambitious and establishes the Third Reich. They prey on the people, act tyrannically, and disregard the common people, causing chaos and destruction. Then, Han Feng, Dai Mubai, or Tang San appear as heroes, save the world, and defeat the evil Spirit Empire.

But there are differences.

In the original story, Bibi Dong was the one who established the Spirit Empire. Now, Han Feng is the mastermind behind it all. In order to highlight the evil of the Spirit Hall, there will definitely be some unbearable things that happen. But at least it is controllable. After all, Han Feng still wants to leave the Spirit Hall with a glimmer of hope and does not want to wipe it out. He can't let the whole continent be filled with resentment towards the Spirit Hall!

Besides, in the original novel, after Tang San defeated Bibi Dong, he didn't actually do much to deal with the mess on the mainland.

The Heaven Dou Empire is still the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire is still the Star Luo Empire, sects are still sects, and academies are still academies. Apart from the rise of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, the overall situation on the continent has not undergone any substantial changes.

It's just that the Spirit Hall, which was once the only one that was in charge, is now gone!

But Han Feng is different; he intends to change the mainland, so naturally he won't let things go unchecked.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu noticed a strange expression on Han Feng's face, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Han Feng, of course, couldn't tell Qian Daoliu what was on his mind. He scratched his head and pretended to hesitate, saying, "What Elder Qian said makes sense. Pushing things together from behind the scenes is indeed much more effective and easier than leading from the front. But I'm wondering if doing this is a bit too cruel for ordinary people or low-level Soul Masters?"

Seeing that Han Feng was actually thinking about this, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

In Qian Daoliu's mind, he didn't care at all about how ordinary people were, nor did he care about the methods used, as long as they were effective!

Let alone ordinary people, the only people in the world he cares about, besides a few successors of gods, are Poseidon and Tang Chen!

Even the level 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo was not taken seriously by Qian Daoliu!

A mocking smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's lips. He wanted to correct Han Feng's worldly views, but then he thought that Han Feng was also from a common background. It seemed inappropriate for him to belittle ordinary people in front of Han Feng.

Through their brief exchange, Qian Daoliu realized that Han Feng didn't discriminate against ordinary people. In fact, Han Feng saw everyone as equal, whether they were ordinary people or Soul Masters, Title Douluos or Limit Douluos—of course, this excluded those connected to Han Feng. Han Feng wasn't a saint; how could he truly treat everyone equally?

Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu had no choice but to change his approach, saying, "The matter of Crown Prince Xingluo's conquest of the Zijing Kingdom and the Mengdao Kingdom was discussed with you, wasn't it?"

Although Han Feng didn't understand why Qian Daoliu would suddenly bring up Dai Mubai, he still nodded and agreed.

Admittedly, Dai Mubai's initial reason for launching wars against those two kingdoms was simply to complete the divine test, but Han Feng did participate. Dai Mubai only took action after obtaining Han Feng's consent. In a sense, these two wars were indeed discussed and planned by Han Feng and Dai Mubai.

"You're blinded by a single leaf!" Qian Daoliu sighed upon seeing this, and said in a tone that was neither too loud nor too soft, "If the Zijing Kingdom and the Mengdao Kingdom can do it, why can't the entire continent?"

"Now that you've made your decision with the Star Luo Crown Prince, you must understand that any far-reaching change on the continent is accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice!"

"The civilians of the Bauhinia Kingdom and the Mengdao Kingdom did indeed suffer losses after the ravages of war, but they certainly gained a better life!"

"The same applies to mainland China!"

"Your plan is indeed beneficial to the mainland, regardless of the facts, at least that's what you believe. In that case, what's wrong with letting the mainland undergo a profound and unforgettable baptism, and then be reborn?!"

"According to the records of the Spirit Hall, since the beginning of the primitive era, the emergence of the kingdom system, the rivalry between sects, the establishment of the two great empires, and the subsequent appearance of the Spirit Hall, have all been accompanied by countless deaths. There's nothing to hide; if you're going to do it, you have to be prepared!"

Han Feng was shocked after hearing what Qian Daoliu said!

Just as Qian Daoliu said, Han Feng could still see clearly one or two small kingdoms, but when the scope covered the entire continent, Han Feng became confused—but in reality, their essence was the same!

"When did I become so hypocritical?!" Han Feng couldn't help but ask himself, and smiled bitterly.

Seeing the shock on Han Feng's face, Qian Daoliu pressed his advantage, continuing to persuade him: "Moreover, if you don't use the Spirit Hall to stir up a bloodbath, you'll have to personally suppress those unruly individuals. After you leave, there will be a peasant uprising, and your alliance will then ruthlessly eliminate them. There's no real difference!"

"Those who deserve to die will die. Even a god cannot completely win everyone's complete submission!"

"Indeed..." Han Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded involuntarily.

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu smiled with satisfaction.

"What Elder Qian says makes sense, but I still can't completely agree!" But the next moment, Han Feng said, "Before Elder Bai conquered the kingdom, he made an agreement with me that he would do his best to restrain his subordinates and only target those vile nobles. Although it's all about killing, I still hope that we won't disturb the common people too much!"

"It's true that the majority of the mainland population consists of ordinary people, but those who dominate the mainland have always been Soul Masters. There's no reason for the conflicts between Soul Masters to be settled with the lives of ordinary people!"

"The matter of the Soul Master is over!"

"Does Elder Qian have any way to control the followers of the Spirit Hall?"

After saying this, even Han Feng himself felt that he was asking a bit too much of a question.

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

In Qian Daoliu's opinion, Han Feng was still too concerned about those ants, which was unnecessary. In any case, there would be another generation in a hundred years, and life and death were nothing more than a feather. However, Qian Daoliu had to admit that it was a good thing to have one's own thoughts. At least for now, Han Feng had his own independent views and would not be easily swayed by external things. Qian Daoliu valued this aspect of Han Feng.

Although Qian Daoliu couldn't understand Han Feng's compassionate thoughts, he still thought about it seriously and said in a deep voice, "It's somewhat troublesome, but not impossible. It's impossible to completely suppress it, but we can minimize the casualties among civilians to the greatest extent possible!"

Qian Daoliu wasn't exaggerating; he had a million ways to restrain the Spirit Hall's followers, especially when Bibi Dong wasn't around!

The reason he didn't do it was simply because Sendo-ryu felt it was unnecessary.

But since Han Feng felt it was necessary, Qian Daoliu would not refuse.

After receiving Qian Daoliu's promise, Han Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Feng is not pedantic at all. He would never expect Qian Daoliu to have complete control over the Spirit Hall. In the end, Han Feng wanted the Spirit Hall to wreak havoc on the continent!

"In that case, thank you very much, Elder Qian!" Han Feng bowed in gratitude, then asked, "But I wonder if Elder Qian has a way to push this matter forward discreetly?"

After speaking, Han Feng said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's okay if I can't do it. It's not something that absolutely has to be done. It's just that I don't want the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy to know about this."

It's not a matter of whether or not it can be explained clearly, but rather that not everyone can be as open-minded as Han Feng!

Putting aside everything else, Liu Erlong and the others probably wouldn't be able to accept it.

Han Feng wasn't afraid. He was confident that even if Liu Erlong and the others found out, they would ultimately only support him. However, it was better to avoid trouble, so Han Feng said it wasn't something that absolutely had to be done.

Of course, there are some people you don't need to hide from.

For example, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and Ning Fengzhi...

Qian Daoliu was also taken aback upon hearing this.

After giving Han Feng a deep look, Qian Daoliu roughly understood Han Feng's meaning. He nodded and said, "This matter is not difficult. Even if Bibi Dong is not here, there are still many people in the Spirit Hall who want to rule the continent. I only need to give them a little push, and they will naturally stand on the opposite side of the continent!"

Han Feng breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him again.

At the same time, Han Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

Han Feng never expected that he would become one of the masterminds manipulating the mainland's development!

What is this?

The dragon-slaying hero eventually becomes the dragon himself?

"It doesn't matter! As long as the result is good, it doesn't matter!" Han Feng sighed softly, comforting himself in this way.
