Number One Sect Changes Hands

Tang Zhen's strongest strike had been dodged. So furious that he couldn't catch his breath, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed limply to the ground.

Seeing Sword Douluo evade his father's strongest attack, Tang Hao's face flushed red. His eyes were bloodshot, and he panted like a bull.

"Sword Douluo, how could you be so lacking in martial virtue that you dodged Father's strongest attack?!"

Clearly, in his view, dodging instead of confronting someone's soul skill head-on was an act of lacking martial virtue.

"Hmph. If that old sword bastard had taken that hammer head-on, he'd probably be dead. Are all you Clear Sky Sect people this brainless?"

Bone Douluo had naturally sensed the terror of that hammer strike. Even if he, a defense-type Douluo, took it head-on, he would likely be crippled even if he survived.

"You!"

Hearing this, the entire Clear Sky Sect group used the Clear Sky Sect's true inherited secret art, their eyes turning red as they panted like bulls.

"Quiet."

Seeing that the fight was over, Qian Xunfeng struck the ground with the Pope's Scepter, suppressing the Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who were about to start fighting again.

"The grand competition was over, and the rankings had been decided. The Upper Three Sects were the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Clear Sky Sect, and Elephant Armored Sect. The Lower Four Sects were the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Sacred Dragon Sect, White Tiger Sect, and Wind Sword Sect."

"The number one sect under heaven is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The number one support martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one beast martial soul is the Diamond Mammoth, and the Number One Tool Martial Soul under Heaven is the Clear Sky Hammer."

The moment Qian Xunfeng finished speaking, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Elephant Armored Sect erupted in cheers, while the Clear Sky Sect seemed somewhat lifeless.

"Damn it, Spirit Hall deliberately waited until my grandfather was gone to suppress our Clear Sky Sect!"

Tang Hao looked indignant, clearly unwilling to believe that the Clear Sky Hammer he took such pride in could lose.

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was surrounded by soul master factions, responding to the praise from all around him with an unceasing smile on his face.

He was even more confident in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect under his control, feeling that the future was bright.

With the sect competition over, Qian Xunfeng couldn't be bothered to manage any more of it. After handing all authority over to Qian Xunji, he prepared to enter seclusion.

After all, he had yet to fuse with, familiarize himself with, and learn to control the 5% Order Authority he had obtained last time. He had also reached Rank 93, so this seclusion was the perfect chance to break through to Rank 95 and complete the Second Trial.

He needed to raise his strength as quickly as possible before Tang San was born, enough to at least contend against the Asura God. That old bastard was practically insane from wanting to retire.

That old bastard was Tang San's real father, even closer to him than Tang Hao.

"Your Excellency the Pope, please wait."

Just as he was about to leave, Yu Yuanzhen dragged his heavily injured body over with a respectful expression. Clearly, he had been beaten into submission.

"Oh? What does Sect Master Yu need from me?"

A faint smile hung on Qian Xunfeng's lips, making Yu Yuanzhen shudder.

"Please, Your Excellency the Pope, heal my injuries. From this day onward, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will no longer oppose Spirit Hall. I hope Your Excellency the Pope will grant this request."

Yu Yuanzhen had long lost his former arrogance. He did not dare show even the slightest disrespect toward Qian Xunfeng, speaking instead in a faintly pleading tone.

Heh, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect still thinks it has the qualifications to oppose Spirit Hall? What blind confidence.

But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was still useful for now, since it concerned his dog-training plan. Naturally, he would make some use of them.

"That is no difficult matter."

Qian Xunfeng casually dispersed the Bone Binding Flame, then patted Yu Yuanzhen's shoulder meaningfully and said calmly, "I recall that your sect has been searching for Yu Xiaogang, correct?"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Pope. After all, the losses he brought to the family cannot be settled merely by expelling him from the family register."

"Hehe, Yu Xiaogang did trick away Spirit Hall's Saintess. But I still hope the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will bring him back to the sect and raise him properly."

After saying that, Qian Xunfeng seemed to see through Yu Yuanzhen's thoughts.

"Bibi Dong was, after all, Spirit Hall's former Saintess. Sect Master Yu, do not make things too ugly. Otherwise, this hall does not have a very good temper."

"Yes!"

Hearing the faint threat in Qian Xunfeng's voice, Yu Yuanzhen's face looked as though he had swallowed three pounds of bitter melon. He understood now.

Spirit Hall had never intended to let Bibi Dong go. They were probably planning to use some method to secretly bring Bibi Dong back.

As for how Bibi Dong would be dealt with, Yu Yuanzhen believed she would be used as a weapon, producing an exceptionally gifted next generation.

Damn it, after paying such a price, they still could not dispose of Bibi Dong as they pleased. Anger rose in Yu Yuanzhen's heart.

Of course, it was not directed at Qian Xunfeng, because he did not dare. It was directed at his useless son, Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang, you useless bastard who can't accomplish anything and ruins everything. I'll fuck your mother.

"Rest assured, as long as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect obediently behaves, Spirit Hall naturally will not exterminate you all. Understand?"

"Yes. Once we return, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will announce that we will no longer involve ourselves in any outside affairs."

Only after receiving a satisfactory answer did Qian Xunfeng wave his hand and say, "Yu Xiaogang is currently hiding in Norland City. You may leave."

After Yu Yuanzhen departed, Qian Xunfeng also entered the Secret Chamber within Pope's Palace, preparing to fully fuse with the Order Authority.

Inside a room at this moment.

When Yu Yuanzhen arrived at the room, he discovered that the sect masters of both the Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were already there.

"Sect Master Tang, please forgive us. That strike was simply too powerful. It truly lived up to the title of the continent's number one tool martial soul."

Ning Fengzhi's flattery immediately eased the ugly expressions of the Clear Sky Sect members.

No amount of flattery ever failed, but Sword Bone Douluo frowned slightly as they watched the smug expressions of the Clear Sky Sect members.

"Let's discuss business! Why exactly did your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect summon us here?"

Although Tang Zhen's expression had eased somewhat, he still spoke unpleasantly. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had stolen their title as the number one sect under heaven.

"Ah, Sect Master Tang does not know."

Ning Fengzhi sighed and said gravely, "Does Sect Master Tang know how many Titled Douluo Spirit Hall currently has?"

At this question, Tang Zhen could not help but shake his head. Spirit Hall had hidden them too well. There were four known publicly—how could he know how many were concealed?

"Spirit Hall likely has no fewer than eight Titled Douluo."

"What?!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the Clear Sky Sect was the first to erupt. As for Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, he felt fortunate that he had submitted early. Otherwise, they would truly have been finished.

"Not only that. Spirit Hall also has Qian Daoliu, a Rank 99 Peerless Douluo and Grand Elder. If Senior Tang Chen were still here, there would naturally be nothing to fear. But now, Senior Tang Chen has already... sigh."

At this point, Ning Fengzhi put on an act and sighed.

"Damn it, why has Spirit Hall hidden so many Titled Douluo? Do they want to unify the continent?"

Tang Zhen was somewhat enraged and could not help but miss the days when his father was still around. How could Spirit Hall have dared act so brazenly then?

Seeing that the time was right, Ning Fengzhi slowly revealed his purpose.

"This time, Ning has united the two sects and the Heaven Dou Empire, joining branches and sharing breath to resist Spirit Hall together. We must crush Spirit Hall's ambition to devour the continent."

"With our three sects joining forces, along with the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, even Qian Daoliu will be unable to kill us all before his Soul Power is exhausted!"
