In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 230 The Methods of a Fallen Soul Master

"Brother, why didn't you let me stay at the Clear Sky Sect and wait for Tang Hao to appear before killing him?" In the Hall of Offerings, upon seeing Qian Daoliu return, Golden Crocodile Douluo finally asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for so long. The two had been traveling the whole time, and Qian Daoliu hadn't mentioned it, nor had he asked.

"Because I sensed the aura of a god on Tang Hao," Qian Daoliu said. "Bibi Dong should have sensed it as well."

"That phantom?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked in surprise.

No wonder Bibi Dong didn't chase after them.

"Not bad." Qian Daoliu nodded. "I just don't know if that phantom was a manifestation of the divine thought remaining in his body or a temporary manifestation of the divine thought from his true body. But either way, it means that Tang Hao has already received the protection of the gods."

"Killing him will not be easy."

"No wonder Long Yingtian wanted to use us to get rid of Tang Hao; they probably already knew." Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned.

"That kid is using us as experiments."

Qian Daoliu wasn't angry. Instead, he pondered and said, "Indeed, we need to take this opportunity to test things out. Besides, the Illusionary Beast Sect has already used Long Yingtian to make a move, and the spiritual imprint left in his body is the medium. They're trying to drag us into this mess to add more support."

"Or rather, they want to see my god's attitude, whether he will respond."

"If not." His brows furrowed sharply. "Then it means that Tang Hao is backed by an extremely powerful deity."

"What do we do now?" Golden Crocodile Douluo exclaimed in surprise.

"Let's compete!" Qian Renxue said solemnly, "Let's compete to see who becomes a god first!"

"They used the Spirit Hall to reveal Tang San's identity as the son of a spirit beast and the truth of what happened back then, not only to drag us down with them, but also to let that god see through the true nature of Tang Hao and his son. However, that god still intervened and protected them, and now we have no choice."

"In any case, the Blue Silver Emperor died because of our Spirit Hall, and Tang Hao and his son will not let us go. The Beast Illusion Sect knows this well, which is why they used us to reveal the truth of what happened back then and to force out that god. This is also meant to remind us."

At this point, he turned to look at Qian Daoliu and said, "Grandpa, I need to get back to cultivation as soon as possible."

Qian Daoliu also had a solemn expression. He nodded slightly, then turned to look at Golden Crocodile Douluo, "Now that the Clear Sky Sect has been destroyed and Tang Hao and his son's wings have been removed, it's not enough." He had no other choice when it came to the life and death of the Spirit Hall and the inheritance of the Qian family.

Besides, the Haotian Sect wasn't destroyed by him, and Tang Hao had already left the sect, so he wasn't in breach of contract.

Thinking this, he waved his hand and released the corpses of Tang Xiao and the others.

"These are the corpses of Tang Xiao and the other five Title Douluos of the Clear Sky Sect. They were deliberately left behind by that person from the Illusionary Beast Sect. If I'm not mistaken, he probably wanted to use the reputation of my Spirit Hall to solidify the Clear Sky Sect's various crimes. In this way, Tang Hao and his son will become public enemies of the continent, and other ambiguous forces will definitely keep their distance. From then on, they will lose all their support, and the obstacles to becoming gods will greatly increase."

"Second brother, take the body to Bibi Dong now and have her send people to summon all the academies to make a public announcement as soon as possible."

"If necessary, the images can be made public as well." He said, handing over the photo stone as well.

"Alright!" Golden Crocodile Douluo took it, put the corpse on the ground into his soul tool, turned around and strode out of the main hall.

"Grandpa, I'm going back to cultivate now," Qian Renxue said.

"Yes." Qian Daoliu nodded. "However, you must not be too hasty."

"I understand." Qian Renxue nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Not long after, in the Papal Palace, Golden Crocodile Douluo met with Bibi Dong and relayed Qian Daoliu's instructions.

After listening, Bibi Dong roughly understood the current situation. Although she disliked the Beast Sect, she truly had no better option at the moment. The only plan now was to cooperate in suppressing Tang Hao and then pass the Divine Trial as soon as possible.

At least, she was ahead in the divine examination.

Without further delay, they immediately sent people to bring the members of the various academies to the central square of Wuhun City.

An hour later, almost all the Soul Masters in Wuhun City had arrived.

"Gentlemen, after our Spirit Hall elders went to confirm, the Clear Sky Sect was destroyed by three seniors of the Beast Sect a few days ago," Bibi Dong said directly from the front of the stage.

"Whoa!" A commotion erupted around them. Three people had wiped out the entire Haotian Sect?

"Furthermore, after investigation, it has been confirmed that in addition to Tang Xiao, the Haotian Sect has five other titled Douluo elders," Bibi continued.

"They are the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder." He stated their names one by one and then raised questions.

"But the Clear Sky Sect has been in seclusion for many years and had an agreement with my Spirit Hall that its direct disciples were forbidden from leaving the sect. So, where did the ninth spirit ring come from? It is clear that the Clear Sky Sect has already broken the agreement in secret. In addition, the sudden advancement of five titles in just over ten years seems a bit too coincidental and too fast."

Where do cultivation resources come from?

"Yes!" The Soul Masters in the audience followed suit, immediately falling into thought and discussion.

"A titled Douluo isn't something you can just achieve overnight. Even during the Clear Sky Sect's heyday, it wasn't this fast. How come after they went into seclusion, with fewer resources available, their cultivation speed has increased even more? And five of them suddenly appeared—isn't that a bit outrageous?"

"Therefore, since our Beast Illusion Sect guessed that Tang San's mother might be the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Empress, we have always suspected that the Clear Sky Sect might be colluding with 100,000-year-old soul beasts." Zhu Wu, sitting next to Ning Fengzhi, said calmly, "It's not only because of Tang San's identity, but also because of his subsequent actions, especially during the Soul Master Competition, when he relentlessly attacked and killed our human race's young elites."

"The other team members were just a little too heavy-handed, but Tang San was aiming to cripple a person's foundation or even kill them."

"If it weren't for the Nine-Section Jade Antidote developed by my Beast Sect, and Ye Lingling's assistance in the treatment, you can imagine how many people would have been harmed by it by now."

"Azure Sun Academy, Barak Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, I think many people still remember them."

"Hmph!" Huo Wu immediately spoke up, "I almost got poisoned to death back then."

"That's right, our academy's students were almost crippled as well." A team leader from the Heavenly Dou Empire immediately chimed in.

"Hmph, kicking right where the meridians meet, what else could it be but intentional?"

"So ruthless!?" The members of the Star Luo Empire's academies were astonished.

One person's actions might be an accident, but so many colleges have spoken out, so it's not simply a matter of personal grudges.

The various academies are located in different places and usually have no connection whatsoever, so there's no need to offend them. But Tang San offended them all at once, which is outrageous!

Unless it was done intentionally with some purpose, it certainly doesn't seem like something a normal person would do.

"Of course, it's also possible that Tang San is mentally unstable," Zhu Wu continued. "But in just over ten years, the Clear Sky Sect has suddenly produced five Title Douluos, and they're not even beginners. The Second Elder's soul power has even reached level 93 or higher. That's far too fast. I think many people know how old these elders are. If they really had that kind of talent, why would they have been stuck at the Soul Douluo stage for so long?"

"Unless, by some special means. For example, the means of a fallen soul master."
