Ghost Douluo also immediately declared his stance: "I also disagree!"

"Xun'an, aren't you being a bit inconsiderate? Doing this will only cause internal strife within our Martial Soul Hall!" Golden Crocodile Douluo also spoke up immediately.

Facing the opposition of the crowd, Qian Xun'an sneered.

This was something he had anticipated long ago.

Qian Xun'an looked at everyone and continued: "I knew long ago that if I were to seize the position of Pope, you certainly wouldn't agree. But regardless of anything else, the Pope of this Martial Soul Hall must bear the name Qian!"

"Since you say I don't understand Martial Soul Hall and that my inheriting the position of Pope would split the organization, fine. I will give you time to prepare; for now, I will not contend with you for it!

However, I have one condition!"

Qian Xun'an looked at Bibi Dong and spoke firmly.

"What condition?" Bibi Dong asked, looking at Qian Xun'an.

Standing before the crowd, Qian Xun'an said: "Everyone, I want to establish a new department within Martial Soul Hall. The name of this department shall be the Judgment Hall!"

"Judgment Hall?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, without exception, revealed expressions of astonishment and turned their gazes toward Qian Xun'an.

Qian Xun'an continued: "That's right, the Judgment Hall. It will be independent of the Gongfeng Hall and the Pope Hall, possessing independent law enforcement authority.

It will have the power to review all documents and records of Martial Soul Hall, to interrogate anyone within Martial Soul Hall, and to judge anyone who violates the rules of our Martial Soul Hall.

Within this Judgment Hall, everyone is equal; there is no distinction between Pope, Saintess, or Elder.

As long as someone violates the rules of Martial Soul Hall, my Judgment Hall can pass judgment on them!"

As Qian Xun'an spoke, his tone was firm and brooked no argument!

At this moment, no matter who they were, everyone who heard Qian Xun'an's description wore a look of shock.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, in particular, stood out immediately upon hearing Qian Xun'an's request and questioned him: "Everyone is equal, and you would be on equal footing with the Pope and the Elders? Are you not showing any regard for the Pope and the Elders?"

No sooner had Chrysanthemum Douluo finished speaking than a terrifying force instantly surged toward him.

In the next moment, Qian Xun'an left behind an afterimage, arriving in front of Chrysanthemum Douluo at a speed impossible for anyone to track.

A powerful aura erupted instantly. Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes narrowed; he couldn't believe his own eyes.

When exactly did this Qian Xun'an get over here?

Qian Xun'an grabbed Chrysanthemum Douluo by the throat and lifted him straight into the air.

At this moment, everyone watched Qian Xun'an in utter shock. Qian Xun'an looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo and said: "I am speaking with your master; who gave you permission to bark like a dog here?"

With a wave of his hand, Qian Xun'an sent Chrysanthemum Douluo flying. With a loud boom, he slammed into the wall, causing the entire building to tremble.

He then fell heavily to the ground.

Chrysanthemum Douluo spat out blood and struggled to climb back up.

Qian Xun'an's strength was too great; even a simple, casual strike was not something Chrysanthemum Douluo could withstand.

"You..."

Qian Xun'an turned to look at Bibi Dong and said indifferently: "Pope, please keep your dog on a leash!"

Hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression turned gloomy as she stared at Qian Xun'an.

Qian Xun'an continued to look at Bibi Dong and the seven Elders: "Everyone, I wonder what your thoughts are on my proposal?"

At this moment, everyone looked at Qian Xun'an, but no one responded.

Qian Xun'an looked at the people in the hall and continued: "Everyone, I will be blunt: this proposal of mine is not up for discussion. Whether you agree or not, I will carry it out according to my own will.

As for those of you who think you can stop me, feel free to step up and try!"

Just then, Guangling Douluo smiled and spoke up: "I think little Xun'an's proposal is quite good. Regardless of anything else, little Xun'an is considering the interests of our Martial Soul Hall. Adding a Judgment Hall to Martial Soul Hall is not a bad thing.

Having a Judgment Hall can allow us to judge those in our Martial Soul Hall who have committed crimes or harbor ulterior motives, which is very beneficial for the unity of our Martial Soul Hall."

Qing Luan Douluo, standing to the side, nodded immediately: "I once read a sentence in a book: 'When the Son of Heaven breaks the law, he is punished the same as a commoner.'

The rules of our Martial Soul Hall were never meant to be broken. I think adding this Judgment Hall to restrain those in Martial Soul Hall who break the law and violate discipline is feasible!"

Mighty Lion Douluo also nodded: "I am a rough man, but I hate those who bully others by relying on their status more than anything else. Therefore, I think this idea of everyone being equal is quite good. I support Xun'an!"

"Our brothers support it too!" Qianjun Douluo and Xiangmo Douluo added from the side.

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded and said: "Alright then, I support it as well!"

Great Elder Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Xun'an. He knew that if he stopped Qian Xun'an, the latter would likely go back to contending for the position of Pope.

Therefore, he nodded and agreed: "In that case, very well. Establish the Judgment Hall, with Xun'an as the Hall Master. As for the personnel of the Judgment Hall, you may choose whomever you wish from Martial Soul Hall!"

Qian Xun'an immediately looked at the Pope, Bibi Dong, and asked: "Pope, what is your opinion?"

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Xun'an and slowly replied: "Since the Elders have all agreed, my opinion no longer matters. Do as you wish!"

After speaking, Bibi Dong stood up.

"Everyone, Martial Soul Hall has many pressing matters. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Let's go!"

Bibi Dong spoke, then immediately left the area with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

A few more days passed.

Qian Xun'an officially established the Judgment Hall.

The candidates for the Judgment Hall were all selected by Guangling Douluo from among the various Soul Douluo of Martial Soul Hall at Qian Xun'an's request.

Although their strength was not exceptionally high, these individuals were almost all confidants of Guangling Douluo, or people who were wholeheartedly devoted to Martial Soul Hall.

Therefore, they were very well-suited to serve as the law enforcement officers of the Judgment Hall.

However, during these very days, Martial Soul Hall was also about to host a grand event.

This grand event was called the Soul Master Tournament, a competition held by teams of youths from various regions, divided into three competition zones.

The first zone consisted of teams selected from the Heaven Dou Empire and its various principalities and academies.

The second zone was composed of teams selected from the Star Luo Empire and its various principalities.

The third zone was Martial Soul Hall Academy.

The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire would each hold their own competitions to select several teams, which would eventually converge at Martial Soul Hall to determine the final champion of the Soul Master Tournament.

And now, both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire had finished their selections and were currently making their way toward Martial Soul Hall.

Qian Xun'an arrived before Qian Daoliu.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Xun'an and said, "Xun'an, you've come?"

Qian Xun'an nodded slightly.

Qian Daoliu began, "Xun'an, the Soul Master Tournament is about to start soon. I heard that your niece is also coming to our Martial Soul Hall; perhaps you two can meet."

"Niece?" Qian Xun'an was somewhat surprised, looking at Qian Daoliu as he asked, "Father, do you mean my elder brother's daughter?"

Qian Daoliu nodded and said, "I hadn't told you before, but your elder brother left behind a daughter before he passed away. Her name is Qian Renxue, and she is now over twenty years old."

At this moment, a look of astonishment appeared in Qian Xun'an's eyes; he had not expected that his elder brother still had a descendant.

He immediately asked, "Then why is she not in Martial Soul Hall? Where has she gone?"

Qian Daoliu sighed, looked at Qian Xun'an, and said, "This matter is known to only a very few people, even within our Martial Soul Hall.

Xiao Xue is currently working as an undercover agent in the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"Undercover?"

Qian Xun'an looked at Qian Daoliu in shock and asked again, "Is Xiao Xue's talent very poor?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head and said, "No, Xiao Xue's talent is second only to yours, and it even surpasses your elder brother's!"

At this moment, Qian Xun'an could no longer sit still; this revelation completely shattered his worldview.

"Since Xiao Xue's talent is so great, why is she not the Holy Maiden of our Martial Soul Hall, and instead, an outsider with abysmal talent was chosen as the Holy Maiden?"

Qian Xun'an recalled the Holy Maiden he had encountered just after his return; her talent was truly too poor. For Martial Soul Hall to elect someone so weak as the Holy Maiden was simply disgraceful!

Seeing Qian Xun'an's confusion, Qian Daoliu began to explain, "This was Xiao Xue's own request. She knew that her mother, Bibi Dong, wanted to unify the continent.

She wanted to seize the Heaven Dou Empire without shedding blood, so she gave up her comfortable life in Martial Soul Hall and went to the Heaven Dou Empire alone.

She killed the prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, and from then on changed her name and identity, living in the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace under the guise of Xue Qinghe."

Upon hearing this, a look of anger appeared on Qian Xun'an's face.

"Why didn't you stop her?" Qian Xun'an asked, looking at Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu replied calmly, "Xiao Xue has her own path to walk. Moreover, although she went undercover, this was also done for the sake of humanitarianism and for the consideration of the common people of the world."
