"Why did Tang Hao kill the former Pope Qian Xunji? Why did the Spirit Hall declare war on the Clear Sky Sect? And why... did the Clear Sky Sect, which was just about to fight to the death, suddenly become a member of the Spirit Hall?"
"I know what you're thinking."
Nan Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks. "This time, the Spirit Hall is simply trying to have their cake and eat it too, isn't that right?"
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Ning Fengzhi's hand trembled slightly as he held the teacup, causing a few drops of tea to spill out.
Yu Yuanzhen stared wide-eyed, as if he couldn't believe his ears;
Tang Xiao suddenly raised his head, looking at the pope on the high platform in disbelief.
"Don't be surprised, and don't try to hide it."
Nan Feng didn't give anyone time to react. He suddenly raised his voice, which was filled with anger and heartache:
"That's right!"
"You guessed right!"
"The Spirit Hall before was indeed that kind of thing! They really wanted to be a prostitute and also want to maintain a virtuous image!"
"boom--"
The entire audience erupted in chaos.
Everyone's heads were buzzing. They were prepared to listen to the Spirit Hall's long-winded explanations, various attempts to whitewash the situation, and all sorts of high-sounding reasons. They had even prepared their rebuttals and sarcastic remarks in advance.
The first thing they did was flip the table! They stabbed themselves in the back right from the start!
What the hell is this?!
Chapter 85 You dare to talk to me about righteousness?
……
"Then, I will answer the first question."
Nan Feng didn't give everyone time to process that "bitch" remark. He spoke again, directly revealing the truth that the Spirit Hall had been covering up all along:
Why did Tang Hao kill Qian Xunji?
"According to the Spirit Hall's previous statement, Tang Hao attacked the Pope without cause, which is a heinous crime."
"Ha, bullshit."
Nan Feng chuckled, his gaze sweeping over the pairs of shocked eyes below the stage:
"The truth is, from beginning to end, it was all that idiot Qian Xunji's fault for causing trouble!"
"Many years ago, the Spirit Hall received news that a 100,000-year-old transformed spirit beast had appeared beside Tang Hao, the most outstanding successor of the Clear Sky Sect. Qian Xunji, that guy, was greedy by nature. He couldn't resist anything good. He coveted the 100,000-year-old spirit bone and didn't care about the reputation of the Clear Sky Sect at all. He directly sent the Demon Bear Douluo to intercept and kill it!"
At this point, Nan Feng's gaze fell with amusement on the Demon Bear Douluo who was shrinking his neck on the elder's seat:
"Elder Demon Bear, does the leg that Tang Hao broke with that hammer back then still hurt when it's cloudy and rainy?"
Demon Bear Douluo trembled all over, cold sweat poured down his face, and he lowered his head even further, not daring to say a word.
The audience erupted in uproar.
So, the Spirit Hall and Tang Hao had already clashed many years ago? And the Spirit Hall even struck first?
Nan Feng ignored everyone's reactions and continued:
"The ambush failed, and Tang Hao disappeared without a trace with that soul beast. Qian Xunji was unwilling to give up; that was a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, how could he bear to abandon it?"
"So, relying on the power of the Spirit Hall, he directly sent a message to the Clear Sky Sect, using threats and inducements to demand that the Clear Sky Sect hand over the person, or else war would break out!"
"And what was the result? The old sect master of the Haotian Sect, such a resolute person, was so angered by this letter full of humiliation and threats that he died!"
"If Tang Xiao hadn't been appointed to a critical mission, advanced to the Title Douluo level, and withstood the pressure, this great war in the Soul Master world would have broken out more than a decade ago!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao's eyes filled with tears, and he gripped the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, his veins bulging.
This was the hidden pain of the Haotian Sect, and also the deadlock between the two brothers. Now that this "enemy pope" had spoken it out in public, he actually felt an absurd sense of justice being served.
"Then, this year came."
Nan Feng's voice suddenly turned cold:
"That transformed soul beast is about to give birth, and its aura is leaking out. Qian Xunji has caught a whiff of it."
"He directly led two Title Douluos, along with a large number of Cardinals and Soul Saint experts, to hunt down a pregnant woman who was giving birth!"
"As everyone knows, that's the result."
Nan Feng shrugged, a mocking look on his face:
"Tang Hao unleashed his power, striking three opponents with one blow, killing countless experts from the Spirit Hall. Qian Xunji was also severely injured on the spot and died not long after returning."
"Then, may I ask everyone here?"
Nan Feng leaned forward, questioning with an extremely imposing air:
Whose fault is this?
"Is it Tang Hao who fought back desperately to protect his wife and children? Or is it Qian Xunji who was greedy, provoked trouble, and was ultimately beaten to death because he was outmatched?"
The audience was silent.
No one dared to speak. Although everyone knew the answer in their hearts, this was the Spirit Hall's home turf; who would dare openly say that the previous Pope had brought it upon himself?
However, Golden Crocodile Douluo could no longer sit still.
His face was ashen, and his chest heaved violently. He never imagined that Bibi Dong would go so far as to turn Qian Xunji's coffin upside down in order to clear Tang Hao's name and to subdue the Clear Sky Sect!
He turned his head and glared fiercely at Demon Bear Douluo, signaling him to quickly stand up and refute him.
Just as Demon Bear Douluo was about to steel himself and get up, Nan Feng's icy eyes glanced over lightly.
In that instant, the demonic bear seemed to see a spider king that would devour its prey. The tremor from the depths of his soul made his legs go weak, and he obediently shrank back into his chair, pretending to be a quail.
"waste!"
Golden Crocodile cursed inwardly, finally losing his temper, and stood up abruptly.
"What nonsense!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo, his hair and beard bristling, pointed at Nan Feng and roared:
"Your Holiness the Pope! How dare you, as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, slander the former Pope like this?!"
"What was Qian Xunji doing this for? He did it for the Spirit Hall! For all of humanity!"
"That transformed soul beast has infiltrated the human world. Who knows what her intentions are? Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts!"
"Tang Hao, as a top human soul master, not only did not kill him, but also slept with a soul beast and even had an illegitimate child! This is the true betrayal of the human race! This is the true heresy!"
"The late Pope acted to eradicate heresy and for the safety of humanity! How did it become greed in your mouth?!"
Faced with Jin E's accusations from a moral high ground, Nan Feng not only didn't get angry, but instead smiled.
"what……"
"For humanity? For the Spirit Hall?"
Nan Feng laughed so hard he almost fell over, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Suddenly, his laughter stopped, his eyes sharpened, and he stared intently at the golden crocodile:
"Old man, do you even believe this kind of nonsense you tell children?"
"If he really did it for the Spirit Hall, for the sake of all living beings, and to eliminate heretics."
"Then I shall ask you a question."
"Why did he chase Tang Hao for so many years without daring to reveal the true reason behind his righteous actions?"
"Why doesn't he just announce to the world: Tang Hao has a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast by his side, everyone come and eliminate this heretic!"
"If it were for the sake of justice, he could have rallied all the Soul Masters in the world to join forces against him! He could have called upon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, and even all the Title Douluos in the world to take action!"
"In that case, even if Tang Hao had three heads and six arms, he would still die! And that soul beast would have no chance of escaping!"
Nan Feng descended the platform step by step, approaching the golden crocodile, his voice booming like thunder:
"But why doesn't he do that?"
Why did he sneak off with his trusted confidants? Why did he try to keep the news a secret?
Do you want me to explain it more clearly?
Nan Feng sneered and tore off the last piece of the veil of pretense:
"Because he wanted to keep it all for himself!"
"It's one thing to covet someone else's spirit rings and spirit bones—we're all spirit masters, it's survival of the fittest, and wanting to steal treasures isn't shameful. But to steal and then make up a bunch of high-sounding lies to whitewash it all—that's disgusting!"
"He relentlessly pursued Tang Hao. If he had truly succeeded, then..."
Nan Feng's gaze swept over all the low- and mid-level Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall present:
"Who will get that 100,000-year-old soul ring? Who will get that 100,000-year-old soul bone?!"
"Is it to the ordinary Soul Masters who fought and died in this siege? Or to the Cardinals who died for Qian Xunji's selfish desires?!"
"No!"
"In the end, only Qian Xunji benefited!"
"This is the kind of behavior where people work themselves to the bone while they reap all the benefits, and then they try to maintain a facade of virtue."
"You dare to talk to me about righteousness?!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's face was beyond ugly; it was deathly pale with a hint of ashen blue.
He stared intently at Nan Feng, his pupils trembling violently.
"A madwoman...this woman has completely gone mad!"
He originally thought that Bibi Dong was only admitting that Qian Xunji had made a mistake by pretending to be guilty in order to win over the Haotian Sect.
But to his utter surprise, she went so far as to destroy her own foundation by directly attacking the legitimacy of Qian Xunji's war! She even went so far as to deny all the actions of the Spirit Hall over the past decade!
What benefit would that bring her?
