Spirit Hall.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei, longtime partners, gathered to watch the Sky Screen.
It had just reached the scene where Ghost Hand intercepted Tang Hao and Ah Yin, along with that icy voice.
As Gui Mei's best friend, Yue Guan recognized Gui Mei's voice at once.
He looked at Gui Mei in surprise and said, "Well, well, old ghost. I never thought you'd become a Title Douluo too."
"Hmph, Chrysanthemum Guan, is it so strange for me to become a Title Douluo?" Gui Mei said.
He was not yet a Title Douluo, but he was already a Spirit Douluo.
Because he and Yue Guan possessed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Two Extremes Stillness Domain.
It could temporarily freeze everything within its range, including an opponent's skills and movements.
It was a godly skill.
After they became Spirit Douluo, they could even freeze Title Douluo.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei both belonged to the Elder Hall and served under Pope Qian Xunji.
Both had the potential to become Title Douluo in the future.
"No spirit rings in sight, leaving behind only a ghostly shadow. What a Title Douluo!"
Tang Hao recognized the Spirit Hall Ghost Douluo as the one pursuing them.
Since Ghost Douluo had come, Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was inseparable from him, must have come as well.
Facing two Title Douluo alone still put considerable pressure on Tang Hao.
However, he did not give up.
If he could not defeat them, he did not have to fight. He only needed to escape.
He created an opening, held back Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, then grabbed Ah Yin's hand and continued fleeing.
"Old ghost, it's all because you're too useless!" Yue Guan complained. "If you were stronger, I could have taken Tang Hao down!"
"Hey, before calling me useless, why don't you think about yourself first? You're useless too," Gui Mei said irritably.
The two of them, both Title Douluo, had failed to capture Tang Hao, a Spirit Douluo who had just broken through to level 90 and had yet to obtain a spirit ring.
They really were too useless.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After seeing Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo appear, Ning Fengzhi began recalling information about these two Spirit Hall elders.
In his memories, there were no Title Douluo whose martial souls resembled those shown on the Sky Screen.
"They probably haven't become Title Douluo yet," Ning Fengzhi guessed.
There were still several decades until the day shown on the Sky Screen.
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo must have broken through to Title Douluo afterward.
Spirit Hall was already the strongest force on the continent.
It also ranked first among all major powers in the number of Title Douluo it possessed.
Any force would feel pressure when facing Spirit Hall alone.
Only by joining forces could they make Spirit Hall take them seriously.
The Upper Three Sects were bound together by a shared cause.
The reason they had united was merely to resist Spirit Hall and ease the pressure.
They were much like the Five Mountains Sword Sects in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
Question—
Why form the Five Mountains Sword Sects Alliance?
Answer—
On one hand, to resist the Demon Cult; on the other, to resist Shaolin and Wudang.
The Upper Three Sects of Douluo Continent now somewhat resembled the Five Mountains Sword Sects Alliance in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
However, the Upper Three Sects had no intention of merging their sects.
The so-called sects on Douluo Continent were, in truth, families.
The Clear Sky Sect was the Tang family, along with four affiliated families.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the Ning family, with many battle spirit masters centered around the Ning family.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, uh... was directly a clan.
Academies, on the other hand, had a little of a sect's character, but only a little. More than anything, they were places for teaching and nurturing students.
Tang Hao continued running with Ah Yin.
But before long, the road ahead was blocked. Someone stood in Tang Hao's path of escape.
When Tang Hao saw the newcomer, his shocked eyes widened, and his face darkened.
It was Qian Xunji!
Spirit Hall's current Pope, Qian Xunji!
Upon hearing news of the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation, the Blue Silver Emperor, he immediately brought two trusted subordinates, along with more than a dozen Spirit Douluo, Soul Saints, and Soul Emperors, to hunt down the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation.
As for Tang Hao, the outstanding disciple of the Clear Sky Sect who was together with the spirit beast and bore the title "Clear Sky Douluo," although he had also broken through to level 90, he had not yet obtained a spirit ring.
A level 90 without spirit rings was not worth Qian Xunji's attention.
This roadblock blocked Tang Hao and Ah Yin's path.
Cold and merciless, devoid of emotion, like a god standing high above all else.
Qian Xunji directly demanded Ah Yin from Tang Hao.
For the sake of the Clear Sky Douluo who was friends with his father, Qian Xunji did not intend to pursue Tang Hao's offense.
However, Tang Hao refused to abandon the woman he loved and swung the Clear Sky Hammer at Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji was enraged.
He had intended to spare Tang Hao, yet Tang Hao was opposing Spirit Hall for the sake of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation.
As Qian Xunji attacked in fury, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also arrived. Together, they unleashed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Two Extremes Stillness Domain!
Tang Hao was immediately frozen. He could not move and was about to be killed by Qian Xunji when adult Ah Yin voluntarily sacrificed herself.
The voluntary sacrifice of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation shattered the Two Extremes Stillness Domain.
Qian Xunji had not expected the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation to voluntarily sacrifice herself.
Having accepted the spirit ring from adult Ah Yin's sacrifice, Tang Hao struck back in fury, sending Qian Xunji flying with a single hammer blow.
He was terrifyingly powerful now.
With the Two Extremes Stillness Domain broken, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo suffered severe injuries and were powerless to support Qian Xunji. They could only watch helplessly as Qian Xunji was beaten.
However, Tang Hao's invincible state did not last long.
Tang Hao understood that as well.
Rather than relying on Ah Yin's sacrifice to go on a killing spree, he picked up Tang San, took the Life Seed left behind by the Blue Silver Emperor's sacrifice, and decisively chose to flee.
Because they were worried about Qian Xunji's injuries, Spirit Hall did not pursue Tang Hao. Instead, they took Qian Xunji back to Spirit Hall.
Clear Sky Sect.
Although Tang Hao did not like the old-man version of himself on the Sky Screen, the young version of himself had received the sacrifice of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation, gained a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, leaped into the ranks of Title Douluo, and had even hammered the Pope of Spirit Hall into grievous injury.
One had to know that Spirit Hall's Popes were all level 95.
Tang Hao had only just broken through to Title Douluo. After receiving the sacrifice of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation and gaining a spirit ring, he was only level 92—three levels below level 95.
Defeating the strong while weaker was what the young Tang Hao aspired to.
It was just that, now that the Sky Screen had shown this, it might affect the relationship between Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect.
At this stage, Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect had a good relationship. Mainly because the two people at the top got along well, those below could only accept it.
But with the Sky Screen appearing and showing Tang Hao brutally beating Qian Xunji, could the relationship between the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall remain good in the future?
Tang Xiao looked at his excited younger brother, then sank into thought.
Unlike his younger brother, whose mind was filled only with cultivation, as the elder brother who would inherit the Clear Sky Sect in the future, he had far more to consider besides cultivation.
