Seven Great Sects Re-selection Assembly

Bibi Dong nodded when she heard Qian Daoliu's encouragement.

"Dong'er, go play with Uncle Guang Ling. The Great Worship and I have matters to discuss." Qian Xunji gently stroked Bibi Dong's head.

"Okay!" Bibi Dong ran off at once.

Qian Xunji watched Bibi Dong leave, and the gentleness on his face vanished as well.

"Father, I intend to hold a Seven Great Sects Re-selection Assembly a year and a half from now."

Qian Xunji's words caught Qian Daoliu off guard. "The Seven Great Sects Re-selection Assembly? What are you planning?"

"Father, I intend to probe the foundations of these sects. To put it plainly, I want to see how the Upper Three Sects have developed.

The Upper Three Sects and the Two Great Empires are taking Spirit Hall less and less seriously. They seem to have forgotten that it was Spirit Hall's ancestors who brought peace!

Especially the Clear Sky Sect. With someone like Tang Chen among them, they have become increasingly arrogant and no longer hold Spirit Hall in their eyes.

Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan does not take Spirit Hall seriously. A few years ago, they even dared to kill a retired Spirit Hall deacon in the street! I intend to see just how much foundation these sects still possess."

Qian Xunji laid out his purpose. Unlike Qian Daoliu, his ambitions were immense.

Qian Daoliu looked at his only son and knew that he had his own plans. Ever since he had passed the position of Pope to him, he had stopped interfering in Spirit Hall's affairs.

"Decide for yourself, Ji'er. On Douluo Continent, strength reigns supreme. Your talent is not particularly outstanding, and attaining godhood is likely impossible for you.

But passing the Seven Trials will not be a problem. By then, you may reach the realm of a Peerless Douluo as well. And as for the Clear Sky Sect, just suppress them a little. Your father lost to Tang Chen back then, and a promise must be honored."

Qian Daoliu spoke slowly. Clearly, losing to Tang Chen still weighed heavily on his mind.

"Father, the Clear Sky Sect will always be a grave threat to us. Once their Haotian Twin Stars grow up, Dong'er may find herself outnumbered!

If I could, I truly would crush these so-called Haotian Twin Stars to death!" Qian Xunji could not understand his father's intentions. He felt that his father was far too old-fashioned.

"There is no need to mention this again. I promised Tang Chen that Spirit Hall would not act against the Clear Sky Sect at will. So long as they stay obediently within their Clan Territory, that will suffice."

Qian Daoliu was somewhat angered. Whatever he said, he would certainly do.

This was also why Tang Chen and Bo Saixi, two Peerless Douluo, held Qian Daoliu in such high regard. It was not merely because of his formidable strength, but also because he was upright in character.

"Fine, then there should be no problem with suppressing the Clear Sky Sect a little, right?" Qian Xunji said so aloud, but who could know what he truly thought?

"That is acceptable. So long as Spirit Hall does not overstep its bounds."

"Also, Father, according to Spirit Hall's intelligence, all three Upper Three Sects have developed differently, far beyond our expectations.

The old dragon of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has died. Their newly appointed clan head, Yu Yuanzhen, is quite formidable and has already become a Level 92 Titled Douluo. He has yet to reach his limit.

As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, their new sect master, Ning Fengzhi, may be young, but his vision and methods surpass even his father's.

After Azure Gang Douluo died, we thought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would decline for a time. Yet Ning Fengzhi actually recruited two Titled Douluo.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin is the son of Sword Hero Chen Jianjun. He is a Level 93 Titled Douluo, and his strength is considerable. He may even surpass Yu Yuanzhen.

The other, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, is a rogue cultivator Titled Douluo. He is currently Level 92, and his methods are so bizarre that they are impossible to fathom.

Then there is Tang Zhen, sect master of the Clear Sky Sect. He is an established Level 95 Titled Douluo, but in my view, he is all show and no substance.

Within a few years, I will surpass him. However, their elders are still all Spirit Douluo. Among them, the Second Elder, Tang Tian, possesses the highest soul power and may become the Clear Sky Sect's second Titled Douluo."

Qian Xunji told Qian Daoliu the information he had gathered over the years. He had always regarded the Upper Three Sects with scrutiny.

The phrase, "The Upper Three Sects share the same breath and branch," had somehow reached Qian Xunji's ears, and it greatly irritated him.

It was obvious that the Upper Three Sects intended to join forces against Spirit Hall. In that case, Qian Xunji would grant their wish and reshuffle the Seven Great Sects. Reputation was extremely important to these sects.

If any sect fell in rank, then this so-called unity of the Upper Three Sects would likely fall apart on its own.

"Go ahead and do it boldly. This old man only cares about the Angel Clan's inheritance. Oh, and Ji'er, you are not getting any younger. It is time you found a woman." Qian Daoliu now worried over his son's major life matters like an ordinary old father.

"I know, but there is no suitable candidate. Mother died not long after giving birth to me because her talent was not high. Her Innate Soul Power was only Level Eight, which made my cultivation talent less than exceptional.

I do not want to casually find a woman and pass down the bloodline. We are noble Six-winged Angels and need an outstanding woman to inherit our martial soul.

Besides, there is no need to rush. As a Titled Douluo, I have a long lifespan. I will eventually find an excellent girl."

Qian Xunji was not particularly concerned about carrying on the bloodline. To be honest, the Six-winged Angel martial soul had left him with very little desire in that regard; he had no need to release it at all.

"Fine, then. I had originally wanted to recommend Spirit Hall's Spirit Kite Bishop to you. She is a Spirit Douluo, around your age, and single as well.

She possesses the Blazing Fire Spirit Kite martial soul, whose attributes are highly compatible with our Six-winged Angel. Her Innate Soul Power reached Level Nine. If the two of you were to unite, this old man's grandson would surely have no low talent."

Qian Daoliu said with a smile.

"We can discuss that later. There is no rush." Qian Xunji naturally knew of Spirit Kite Bishop. She was quite beautiful and close to his age, but he currently had no such intentions.

He wanted Spirit Hall to rule over the entirety of Douluo Continent!

A year and a half later,

Clear Sky Sect,

Tang Zhen sat in the sect master's seat with a troubled expression. In his hand was an exquisite sheet of paper bearing Spirit Hall's seal.

The Clear Sky Sect's six great elders sat around him, their expressions equally troubled.

"Big Brother, say something! The Old Sect Master has only been gone for a few years, and Spirit Hall is already unable to restrain itself from making a move against our title as the Number One Sect Under Heaven?

If the Old Sect Master were still here, how could they be so presumptuous?" Tang Lie, the hot-tempered Seventh Elder, spoke bluntly.

"Sigh, after Father left, I gave orders long ago for the Clear Sky Sect to keep as low a profile as possible. Haven't you all been cultivating in seclusion as well? As expected, a man's name is like a tree's shadow—there is no escaping it.

The Number One Sect Under Heaven is bound to be a thorn in Spirit Hall's side. Besides, the other sects are likely eyeing the top position as well." Tang Zhen's expression was grim.

I truly did not expect Spirit Hall to go to such lengths just to test the true strength of our sect.

"If the Old Sect Master were here, there would be no need to compete at all. Let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan fight over second place instead. Damned Spirit Hall!" Tang Lie cursed.

"Seventh Brother, calm down. Cursing will not accomplish anything." The Second Elder, Tang Tian, stopped Tang Lie's outburst before looking toward Tang Zhen. "Sect Master, what do you think?"

Tang Zhen's face was full of worry. "I am not afraid of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Yu Yuanzhen cannot be my match. With a difference of three soul power levels, even his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon cannot defy the heavens.

It is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Their two newly recruited Guardian Douluo, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong—two Titled Douluo. That is their confidence.

Moreover, the two have acted rarely, so we lack intelligence on them. Chen Xin can still be judged based on Chen Jianjun, but Gu Rong is far too mysterious.

Though I am confident that I fear neither of them one-on-one, I truly have no confidence in facing both at once."

Tang Zhen made the stakes clear as well.
