Night fell.
Martial Soul City, the holy land of Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent—a city where all residents were Soul Masters, with bustling streets illuminated by countless lights, and Soul Kings and Soul Emperors commonplace.
In contrast to the lively city, within the Martial Soul Hall, a large number of Soul Masters gathered, moving large quantities of supplies with order and diligently performing their duties.
Inside the Hall of the Pope, the lighting was dim. Several Title Soul Sages sat discussing quietly, with the Ultimate Douluo, Qian Daoliu, seated at the very top.
Qian Daoliu watched the arguing Title Soul Sages below without speaking, sitting in the Pope's chair at the top, his fingers constantly tapping against the armrest, seemingly waiting for some news.
After a while, a Soul Douluo radiating an angelic aura entered and respectfully said to Qian Daoliu, "Your Eminence, we have confirmed the existence of an Unknown Island at sea, and it is populated by a large number of Sea Soul Masters."
"And there are Title Soul Sages there, and it is even suspected that an Ultimate Douluo exists."
The Title Soul Sages heard this and began to discuss even more loudly.
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu circulated his Soul Power and cleared his throat, and the Title Soul Sages stopped their discussion and turned to look at Qian Daoliu.
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu slowly said, "Good, Ji Er, you've done well."
"Since the situation has been confirmed, I will lead ten Title Soul Sages. As for the number of Soul Masters, Ji Er, you handle it. "
"Give you seven days to prepare the items we need to cross the sea. We will conquer that island and make it a vassal island of the Martial Soul Hall."
Ji Er replied solemnly, "Understood, Your Eminence. However, the materials required for this battle are extremely vast."
"So I started preparations two days ago. I can guarantee that in seven days, our crossing team will be fully equipped."
"Well done, Ji Er. It just so happens that I am also announcing here that during our conquest of the island, you will serve as Acting Pope. After returning to the Martial Soul Hall, I will completely step down from the position of Pope, and the position of Pope will be held by my son, Ji Er. Does anyone object?" Qian Daoliu said, looking at the Title Soul Sages.
"No objections," the Title Soul Sages said in unison.
"Everyone, we must succeed in this battle. Occupy the Unknown Island, demonstrate the might of the Martial Soul Hall, shake the oceans, spread the belief in Angels, and let the Sea Soul Masters believe in the Angel God, the great Angel God will bless us. The Angel God, eternal life! The Martial Soul Hall will surely triumph!" Qian Daoliu shouted excitedly.
"The Angel God, eternal life! The Martial Soul Hall will surely triumph!"
"The Angel God, eternal life! The Martial Soul Hall will surely triumph!"
The Title Soul Sages shouted in unison.
"Dismissed. Ji Er, stay. Everyone else, return to your duties," Qian Daoliu said to the crowd.
Qian Daoliu brought Ji Er to a room and said, facing away from him, "If you have any questions, speak up. I noticed your doubts from the beginning of the meeting to the end."
"Your Eminence, why attack the ocean first? There are so many sects and two great empires on the continent. Why go far when you can strike near?" Ji Er asked doubtfully.
Qian Daoliu explained slowly, "Most of the sects are not worth worrying about, but the Clear Sky Sect is different."
"The Clear Sky Sect also has an Ultimate Douluo. I heard he also has the Soul Ring Detonation Secret Method, which can briefly detonate his Soul Rings to powerfully increase his strength."
"I'm not confident in defeating him, and these continental sects are led by the Seven Great Sects, among which the top three sects are particularly powerful. If they unite, it will be difficult to deal with."
He couldn't find the book title, try searching for the author instead. It might just have been renamed!
The Heaven Dou Empire is large in territory, but lacks top-tier power in the form of Title Soul Sages. However, its army is extremely large, and the Xing Luo Empire, whose royal family has Title Soul Sages, is even stronger. The Zhu Clan and the Dai Clan have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"But isn't that Unknown Island at sea easy to conquer? This is warfare at sea. Apart from Title Soul Sages who can fly and flying Soul Masters, others are not suitable for fighting at sea!" Ji Er worried.
"It doesn't matter. Below the Title Soul Sage level, they are all ants. The Title Soul Sage is the dividing line of strength. The ultimate battle will be between Title Soul Sages. It doesn't matter what others do," Qian Daoliu explained.
"I understand, Father."
"During this time, entrust the Martial Soul Hall to you. I need to meditate on the power of the Angel God a few more days before I depart. If there's nothing else, you may leave."
"Yes, Father."
Qian Daoliu thought to himself, "Before I retire, let me fight a few more battles, and put a perfect ending on my achievements during my time as Pope."
However, Qian Daoliu never expected that he would encounter an Ultimate Douluo who was also a high priest and Li Changge, who would make him feel helpless.
Meanwhile, within the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen sat at the top of the hall, looking at the Clear Sky Sect elders discussing below.
"Not long ago, our scouts reported that the Martial Soul Hall is preparing large quantities of supplies these days. What do they intend to do?"
"Who knows? Could it be that they want to go to war with our sect? Our sect is not afraid of Qian Daoliu."
At this time, Tang Chen stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Stop arguing. According to the latest news from our contact within the Martial Soul Hall, they seem to be preparing for a naval expedition. They have built many large warships by the sea, and it is said that they have discovered an Unknown Island at sea, populated by a large number of Sea Soul Masters."
An elder stood up and said, "Sect Master, how strong is the combat power on the island? The news we received is that they are preparing a lot of things, and they have even dispatched many Title Soul Sages, and Qian Daoliu himself will be going."
"That's right, Qian Daoliu will be there. I heard that there is an Ultimate Douluo on the island," Tang Chen said.
"Then can't we take advantage of the Martial Soul Hall's large-scale departure and attack the Martial Soul Hall, even destroy it?" The third elder of the Clear Sky Sect said excitedly.
The other Clear Sky Sect elders also stood up, feeling that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the many Clear Sky Sect elders discussed it.
At this time, Tang Chen interrupted, "No, although we are the only one who can briefly gather strength to attack the Martial Soul Hall."
"But once the Martial Soul Hall is destroyed, the situation on the continent will undergo a tremendous change."
"Even the current balance of power will be broken, and wars will erupt. It is precisely because of the existence of this document that a brief period of peace has been achieved."
"Then what should we do? Can we just watch the Martial Soul Hall occupy that Unknown Island?" An elder of the Clear Sky Sect stood up.
"Qian Daoliu has seized on the Martial Soul Hall's role in maintaining the balance between the major forces on the continent, which is why he dares to go himself, not afraid of an attack. Of course, I will also follow behind them when they depart, and intervene if necessary." Tang Chen pondered for a moment and said.
"Sigh, we can only do this," the Clear Sky Sect elders said.
Tang Chen looked at the many elders and thought to himself, "Besides me, there are only three other Breakthroughs to Title Soul Sage within the Clear Sky Sect. Compared to the Martial Soul Hall, the Clear Sky Sect has a clear gap in strength."
