Haotian Sect, forbidden secret chamber.
"Sect Master, what do we do now? The Spirit Hall won't let us off the hook, even though we've already withdrawn the Clear Sky Sect disciples and returned everything." The First Elder said with a worried tone.
"We acted impulsively this time. We never expected that the Spirit Hall could withstand the punishment of the gods," Tang Xiao said helplessly.
Who could have imagined this! With the terrifying power of the Heavenly Calamity Light, destroying the Douluo Continent would have been a piece of cake. He really didn't know how the Spirit Hall had withstood it.
After a while, Tang Xiao and the seven elders of the Clear Sky Sect, after much deliberation, finally came up with a plan: a way to shamelessly beg the Spirit Hall to spare their lives.
However, this method is destined to sacrifice one person, someone of high status and great position, but who has little practical value.
Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Sect Master, all direct bloodline disciples of the sect have been recalled. Please issue the order." A direct bloodline disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex said, kneeling on the ground.
"Go back, everyone! The Spirit Hall is fine. Those who need to go to school should go to school, and those who need to do other things should go back to their own lives." Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand and said, his face filled with disappointment and relief.
What's disappointing is that the Spirit Hall wasn't destroyed, but what's fortunate is that I didn't have a chance to do anything bad.
"Sect Master, let's pretend nothing happened! Everything will continue as usual. Besides, the Spirit Hall can even withstand divine punishment, so probably no one can destroy the number one spirit master organization on the continent," Yu Luomian stepped forward and advised.
"Fortunately! We didn't have time to make a move, so the Spirit Hall won't retaliate against us. But those brutes from the Clear Sky Sect, I don't know if they've lost their minds from being sealed off, actually dared to make a move before the Spirit Hall was completely destroyed," Yu Yuanzhen said with lingering fear.
He had originally thought the same thing, since those who come first get the meat and those who come later get the soup. However, he played it safe at the crucial moment, since he was the only Title Douluo in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
If one is not even a little bit steady, it will be difficult to protect the sect.
At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen seemed to have thought of something funny. He patted Yu Luomian on the shoulder and said, "Hahaha, this time the Haotian Sect didn't get any meat, and they even bit the tiger in their own way."
The three upper sects had no sense of kinship, and Yu Yuanzhen could only feel schadenfreude.
It should be noted that the Clear Sky Sect, relying on Tang Chen, a peerless Douluo, used its direct bloodline disciples to bully other sects both openly and secretly.
"What the sect leader says is true. If Tang Xiao and the others don't want their sect to be destroyed, they must satisfy the Spirit Hall. After all, things are different now. Tang Chen has been missing for many years, while the Spirit Hall has gained Bibi Dong, a peerless Douluo," Yu Luomian said calmly.
"By the way, Elder Luo Mian, I heard that your illegitimate daughter, Liu Erlong, opened a high-level soul master academy in Tiandou City? It's called something like Blue Tyrant Academy, right?" Yu Yuanzhen suddenly asked.
Chapter 149, May the General Leave His Name?
"Yes, Sect Master. Erlong's advanced Soul Master Academy mainly recruits commoner Soul Masters, as well as a few sect disciples," Yu Luomian nodded.
"Hmph, how old is she, still indulging in wishful thinking? She does nothing but hide in the academy all day. Elder Luo Mian, tell her to prepare to visit the Spirit Hall on behalf of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan." Yu Yuanzhen sneered.
"What does the sect leader mean?" Yu Luomian asked curiously.
"Elder Luo Mian, you don't understand. Our previous action of recalling all the disciples of the sect may have already angered the Spirit Hall. Fortunately, we didn't have time to take action."
"But at this point, it's no longer appropriate for us to step in. It would be better to let Liu Erlong go. She is one of the few high-level soul masters who genuinely cares about ordinary people."
“In the Spirit Hall, where there are many commoner soul masters, she has a number of students from Blue Tyrant Academy. Although they have joined the Spirit Hall, as their former dean, they will at least give her some face.”
Yu Yuanzhen knew that he and his companions were never welcomed by the Spirit Hall, and if they rashly went to visit them, they might end up getting a lot of angry words.
But now that the Spirit Hall has become a powerful force across the continent after experiencing divine punishment, what if they don't pay a visit now, and people mistakenly think they want to oppose them?
Advanced Soul Master Academy
As an academy, students will eventually graduate, usually around the age of twenty-five. At that time, they need to make a living on their own, as they cannot spend their entire lives in the academy.
Students graduating from advanced soul master academies generally have three choices.
The first option: They can choose to stay and become teachers, but it depends on whether their abilities are recognized by the academy.
The second option is to join one of the major sects and the Spirit Hall on the continent, including the three upper sects and the four lower sects, and become an outer disciple to enjoy gold spirit coins and various subsidies.
The third option is naturally to join one of the two great empires of Douluo Continent. The Heaven Dou Empire is suitable for retirement, and noble status is a given. The Star Luo Empire is suitable for striving, and one can create a sect.
Of course, it's not mandatory for these students to join one of the factions in Douluo Continent after graduation.
But it's very difficult to struggle alone on the mainland. Even if you want to do something bad, like robbing the rich to help the poor, there's always the Spirit Hall watching you from above.
If you dare to do anything immoral or heinous, you'll be put on a wanted list by evil spirit masters.
.....
Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Inside the sect hall sat three people. The one in the lead was naturally Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with Bone Douluo Gu Rong and Sword Douluo Chen Xin beside him.
"I never expected the Spirit Hall to have such a trump card. By gathering the power of everyone, they were able to forcibly elevate their strength to the demigod realm. After this incident, the Spirit Hall's prestige will surely skyrocket, and from now on, the Spirit Hall will rule the world," Ning Fengzhi exclaimed.
As the three upper sects, they certainly disliked the Spirit Hall and even hoped for its early demise, but reality was cruel, as the power displayed by the Spirit Hall became increasingly terrifying.
What's even more disheartening is that the next generation of young people in the Spirit Hall are incredibly talented, which means the Spirit Hall doesn't need to worry about finding a successor.
"The Spirit Hall's current predicament is both a disaster and an opportunity. Now, everyone on the continent knows that they possess power enough to shake the gods," said Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
"Everyone thinks the Spirit Hall will be destroyed by divine punishment this time. According to the information I have received, the Clear Sky Sect has lifted its decision to close its gates and sent many direct bloodline disciples to plunder the Spirit Hall branches in other cities," Sword Douluo Chen Xin said, shaking his head.
He had no idea how the Clear Sky Sect would handle the situation or how to get forgiveness from the Spirit Hall. A bunch of reckless fools, before things had even been settled, they had already shown their wolfish ambitions.
"Speaking of which, I heard that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also had this idea. However, unlike the Clear Sky Clan, their direct bloodline disciples are all gathered in the sect. It took them some time to recall their disciples, which allowed them to escape a calamity." Bone Douluo Gu Rong revealed a slightly amused smile.
Unexpectedly, that old dragon Yu Yuanzhen is so lucky. If he really makes a move, his fate will probably be even worse than that of the Haotian Sect. After all, no matter what, the Haotian Sect has a peerless Douluo, Tang Chen, behind them.
Although he has long since disappeared and cannot be found, as long as there is no clear news of Tang Chen's death, the Spirit Hall will have to consider the gains and losses.
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi sighed, "As long as the Spirit Hall follows its principles, supports ordinary soul masters, and has no intention of unifying the continent, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will remain neutral."
It wasn't that he didn't want to learn from the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect; the main reason was that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was a unique sect.
Although they possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one auxiliary martial soul on the continent, their combat strength is weak, or even nonexistent.
For this reason, if direct bloodline descendants like Ning Rongrong want to get married, their husbands cannot be support-type, healing-type, or food-type soul masters.
......
Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Barak Kingdom, Soto City.
The heavy clatter of hooves rang out, and soon after, dust billowed as an elite cavalry force of about five thousand men arrived at the gates of Soto.
"May I ask your name, General?" the general guarding Soto asked loudly.
"Spirit Hall, Dong Qing."
Dong Qing was dressed in a domineering black armor with ferocious barbs on his shoulders. Beneath the helmet with two sharp horns, a pair of bright pupils exuded a terrifying aura.
Beside him stood a female general dressed in light red women's armor, holding a crescent-shaped short blade, riding a tall horse, and wearing a purple-gold crown, looking exceptionally heroic.
This female general was Zhu Zhuqing, one of Dongqing's followers.
"Lord Dongqing, do you have a pass signed by Emperor Xueye?" the city's general asked loudly.
He dared not let a cavalry force of five thousand men into the city at will. After all, these cavalrymen were all intimidating, and if they had any ill intentions, he would be guilty of a thousand deaths.
"Xiangxiang, show this to him." Dongqing casually beckoned, and Bai Chenxiang flew down from the sky, handing her a travel document made of white marble.
This time, when he came out to inspect the Martial Soul Branch Halls within the Heaven Dou Empire, he only brought two subordinates, Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang, as well as his personal accessory, the Blue Silver Emperor A Yin.
As for Xiao Wu, she shouldn't go out and cause him trouble.
On the other side, the general guarding Soto carefully and repeatedly checked the authenticity of the travel document several times. Finally, he took a deep breath and waved his hand to order his men to open the city gate.
With a piercing creak, the closed city gate slowly opened.
Watching Dong Qing lead five thousand elite cavalry into Soto City, the city's garrison commander muttered, "Alas! The Spirit Hall has finally sent people. Those families and nobles who took advantage of the chaos may now face a bloodbath."
"Greed consumed their reason; since they did something wrong, they had to bear the corresponding consequences."
[Author's Note]
There's really no one in the group right now, so we hope more people will join to discuss the plot. Group number: 831474315
Chapter 150, Vanity
Because many people share the same idea as the Clear Sky Sect, they want to take advantage of the chaos to rob the local Martial Soul Branch Hall and steal the gold soul coins and some rare soul bones inside.
After the Divine Punishment incident ended, Pope Bibi Dong ordered Dong Qing to lead 5,000 elite cavalrymen from the Spirit Hall to inspect the situation of the local Spirit Hall branch in the Heaven Dou Empire.
These elite cavalrymen of the Spirit Hall are all at least level 30 Soul Venerables, and their cavalry commanders are even Soul Emperors. If they discover that a local Spirit Hall branch has been maliciously occupied and plundered, they should be dealt with accordingly.
Bibi Dong gave only one option: kill all those involved without mercy.
This is the seventeenth major city that Dong Qing has inspected. His area of responsibility is the Heaven Dou Empire, while Hu Liena, as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, is responsible for the Star Luo Empire.
Pope Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall had informed Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire and Emperor Xing Luo of the Star Luo Empire about this matter beforehand, and had successfully obtained the clearance document.
Although they were all very dissatisfied with a 5,000-strong Soul Master cavalry force enforcing the law within the empire's territory, the Spirit Hall was currently in a position of great power, and they dared not provoke them.
You're being given face, so you should cherish it. Clearly, both emperors understood this principle.
Soto City, Main City, Martial Soul Branch Hall.
Entering the Spirit Branch Hall, still stained with blood, Dong Qing looked at the Spirit Branch Hall stewards, who were mostly gone, and asked calmly, "Do you have a list?"
Dong Qing didn't ask where the deacons and bishops of the Martial Soul Branch Hall had gone. The bloodstains at the door already said it all. Looking at their hopeful eyes, Dong Qing felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"Your Majesty, that day, that day... divine punishment descended from the heavens. The Ling family, the Li family, the Wang family, and the three great families of Soto City stormed into the Martial Soul Branch Hall. They... In the end, the bishop died in battle."
The white-robed deacon, who was the leader, spoke unclearly and cried as he spoke, but he had already made it clear who the culprit was.
"Pass on my order: anyone from the Ling, Li, or Wang families taller than a carriage wheel is to be executed." Dong Qing waved his hand, and the five thousand elite cavalry behind him immediately sprang into action.
Led by the surviving deacons of the Spirit Hall, the three major families of Soto City were slaughtered, with countless people dying amidst desperate screams.
In fact, the Spirit Hall suffered the most damage during this attack on the Spirit Hall branch halls in large cities, since these branches store a large amount of gold spirit coins, which are usually used to distribute subsidies to spirit masters.
The divine punishment from heaven emboldened these Soul Master families, leading them to attempt to rob these Martial Soul Branch Halls.
As for the small villages and cities, the Martial Soul Branch Halls within them suffered very little, or even no, damage.
After all, most of the people living in these small villages and cities are ordinary folks. Even if there are powerful Soul Masters passing by, they are not interested in the dilapidated Spirit Halls that offer no profit.
Half a day later, outside the city of Soto.
Just as Dong Qing was about to leave Soto City, several men dressed in black blocked his way.
"The Spirit Hall is truly despicable and deserves to die. They actually slaughtered so many people. What's hateful is that the gods ultimately did not destroy your evil organization," the leader of the men in black said hatefully.
"Who are you?" Dong Qing waved to stop the cavalry behind him; this was not the first time he had been assassinated.
Since he began inspecting the various Martial Soul Branch Halls, adhering to the principle of repaying all grudges and settling all scores, he has not let any Soul Master families or nobles who took advantage of the chaos go unpunished.
"We are the ones who want to kill you, Dong Qing, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, right! You are so cruel, aren't you afraid that the souls of the dead will come after you?" the man in black roared angrily.
