I, Yu Yuanzhen, Officially Withdraw

"This..."

Tang Zhen looked at Ning Fengzhi's high-spirited demeanor and made up his mind. After all, if they did not join forces against Spirit Hall, they would only die faster.

"Fine, Clear Sky Sect will join."

Seeing Clear Sky Sect agree, Ning Fengzhi turned to Yu Yuanzhen, who had remained silent beside them.

"My apologies, Sect Master Ning. We appreciate your goodwill, but our sect has only just suffered a devastating blow. Our council of elders has unanimously decided to no longer interfere in any affairs on the continent."

Yu Yuanzhen shook his head, sneering inwardly. Joining them would only make Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect cannon fodder, so why join at all?

I'm done fighting. I surrender.

"Old Dragon, when did you become such a coward? Are you really afraid of Spirit Hall's Pope?"

Tang Zhen looked at Old Dragon with undisguised contempt. He despised him from the bottom of his heart. An old fool who could not even defeat someone newly advanced to Titled Douluo was unworthy of standing with them.

"Hmph. I thought Thunder Douluo was at least an upright senior with unyielding backbone. Who would have thought he was such a spineless coward?"

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao spoke in unison, clearly dissatisfied with Yu Yuanzhen's attitude.

"Hmph. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will not participate. Farewell."

Humiliated by several juniors, Yu Yuanzhen was naturally furious. He immediately flicked his sleeve and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.

"Forget it. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has just suffered a great calamity, so it is only natural that they are unwilling to participate."

Ning Fengzhi spoke casually. After all, a level ninety-three Titled Douluo would not improve things much.

At best, he could serve as a shield for them.

Over the next four and a half years.

Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gathered in the Heaven Dou Empire almost every year, exchanging information and keeping in contact.

Yu Xiaogang was also captured and taken back to Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, where he was confined within the clan and endured endless scorn every day. His father would not allow him to touch Bibi Dong either, and resentment toward both the sect and Bibi Dong gradually took root in his heart.

In order to revitalize Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao entered Slaughter City and obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain. Together with his brother, he broke through to Spirit Douluo and became known as the Clear Sky Twin Stars.

The day he was supposed to meet Ah Yin was not far away, but unfortunately, he would never meet her in this life.

Qian Xunji also successfully obtained a Hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring, becoming a Titled Douluo and acting Pope, temporarily taking over Qian Xunfeng's position.

Secret Chamber.

"Level ninety-seven!"

Qian Xunfeng had broken through to level ninety-five two years ago, and the age of his Soul Rings had increased by another thirty thousand years. His Order Authority had also reached five percent.

After another two and a half years of familiarization, he had only managed to control ten percent of the Order Authority, while his cultivation had reached level ninety-seven.

Order God Trial, Third Trial: Become a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo within three years. Reward: all Soul Ring ages increased by fifty thousand years, Order Authority increased by ten percent.

The moment he left the Secret Chamber, he saw his younger brother Qian Xunji sitting on a stool as though life were worse than death, processing a mountain of documents.

"Big Brother?"

Qian Xunji froze when he saw Qian Xunfeng suddenly appear. Then, tossing aside the document in his hand, he ran over with tears in his eyes.

"You finally came out of seclusion, Big Brother. If you stayed in there any longer, your little brother would have been worked to death."

"Forget it. We'll create a new position later. Other than major matters, they can approve the minor ones themselves."

Being Pope was truly exhausting. The endless memorials every day were enough to make anyone's head spin. It would be better to leave them to those below.

"Oh, right. Don't tell the old man that I've come out of seclusion yet. I'm planning to go out for a while, maybe for a year or so."

Qian Xunji's astonished look made Qian Xunfeng feel a little embarrassed.

"No, Big Brother. You've been Pope for so many years, but I don't think you've ever read a single document, have you?"

"Hey, what kind of thing is that to say? You will become Pope in the future too. This is your elder brother's test for you."

As he spoke, he solemnly patted Qian Xunji on the shoulder.

Seemingly sensing the old man's aura drawing closer, Qian Xunfeng immediately spread Angel's Eight Wings and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing into the distance.

"You brat, stop right there!"

Veins bulged across Qian Daoliu's forehead. He had clearly been thoroughly angered by Qian Xunfeng.

He had been Pope for years without tending to government affairs. He was already over forty and did not even have someone he liked, while Qian Xunji's child was already four years old.

Although he had created many things in the past, such as the Gravity Device and the mercenary system.

He was already over forty. It was time for him to carry on the Qian family line.

At this moment, Qian Xunfeng was heading toward a village near Blue Silver Forest.

This time, he had used the Order Authority to roughly determine the Blue Silver Emperor's location, and he wondered whether he could take Ah Yin while he was at it.

He wanted to see how Tang San would appear if Tang God King's birthplace was destroyed.

Of course, part of the reason was that he wanted to see just how beautiful this blade of grass was, to turn a brute like Tang Hao into a fool and make him become enemies with all of Spirit Hall.

Blue Silver Village

"Ah Yin, you're actually a Spirit Master?"

Blue Silver Village was now in ruins, with severed limbs and corpses scattered everywhere. Flames rose in all directions, accompanied by unending cries and wails.

"Aunt Lan, take these people and leave quickly. I'll hold off these Evil Spirit Masters."

Behind Ah Yin stood the village's remaining survivors.

From a village of over a hundred households, only a few dozen people remained.

Ah Yin's heart ached, and tears welled in her eyes. Ever since taking human form, she had lived in Blue Silver Village. The uncles and aunts of the village had treated her well.

She had long regarded Blue Silver Village as her second home and formed an inseparable bond with this place.

Yet because of this group of Evil Spirit Masters, who had come to Blue Silver Village only to burn, kill, and plunder, she was furious beyond measure.

"The flesh of a Spirit Emperor must be even more nourishing."

The leading Enchanting Woman's eyes flashed with greed as she looked at the six Soul Rings around Ah Yin.

She had originally possessed only an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Spirit. But after encountering Evil Spirit Masters, she discovered that devouring flesh and blood could evolve her Blue Silver Grass Spirit, and from then on, she could not stop herself.

"You're courting death!"

Ah Yin shouted angrily. The Blue Silver Grass Spirit in her hands surged forth, shooting toward the five Evil Spirit Masters in the distance.

"Trivial tricks!"

Four Soul Rings appeared around each of the four Evil Spirit Masters, while the leading Enchanting Woman was a six-ring Spirit Emperor.

Facing the combined assault of all five, Ah Yin was struggling to hold on. But when she saw the crowd behind her gradually moving farther away, she finally relaxed.

"You still have time to worry about others? Die!"

The Enchanting Woman's face was filled with greed, saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth. She could no longer wait to enjoy Ah Yin's flesh and blood.

Well, at least I'll have done one last good deed.

With that thought, Ah Yin prepared to self-destruct and perish together with these Evil Spirit Masters.

At the critical moment, a clear, resounding voice rang out by everyone's ears like salvation.

"Angel's Judgment!"

Qian Xunfeng appeared at just the right moment, his second Soul Ring lighting up. He floated in the air like an angel, and Ah Yin took in his handsome face and the holy radiance emanating from his body.

"Ah!"

The four Evil Spirit Masters were pierced straight through. As for the Enchanting Woman, Qian Xunfeng forced her toward the Tang Hao and Tang Xiao brothers, who were about to arrive.

He wanted to see whether he could pin the charge of colluding with Evil Spirit Masters on them.

"Thank you, Senior."

After her brief joy, Ah Yin saw the nine Soul Rings around Qian Xunji, and her heart sank. What she had feared had still happened.

A human Titled Douluo!

"I didn't expect that a single trip outside would let me discover a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had taken human form!"
