"Ancestor, Ancestor, can we add one more announcement?"

Qian Ningshuang raised her hand and shouted, and in an instant, everyone in the Douluo Hall turned their eyes toward her.

"Shuang'er, if you have something to say, go ahead."

Qian Chongling's tone softened.

"Let's also announce the truth about Tang Hao and his wife back then.

"Just say that when Tang Hao learned his wife was a 100,000-year soul beast, he became greedy. Despite knowing she was carrying his own bloodline, he feared the 100,000-year soul beast might have means of resistance, so he invited Wuhun Hall to join him in the hunt, promising them the 100,000-year soul bone.

"However, our Wuhun Hall, mindful that the 100,000-year soul beast was carrying a child, did not strike, intending to wait until after she had given birth.

"During this time, Tang Hao urged us repeatedly, and our Wuhun Hall was incredibly annoyed, yet out of the kindness of heaven, we held back and did not act.

"It wasn't until the 100,000-year soul beast had finished giving birth that our Wuhun Hall, led by Pope Qian Xunji, finally began the operation.

"Then, after obtaining the 100,000-year soul ring, Tang Hao became covetous of the 100,000-year soul bone, launched a sneak attack to steal it, and in the process, the previous Pope Qian Xunji, caught off guard, was severely wounded by the ambush and died several months later."

Most of what she said was the truth anyway, just slightly whitewashing Wuhun Hall.

Qian Ningshuang had wanted to do this for a long time after learning the full story and schemes surrounding Tang Hao's 100,000-year soul ring, and she finally brought it up just as Qian Chongling was preparing to issue the announcement.

A heart-wrenching, moving romance? To hell with that, it's disgusting. He parades around with his wife's soul ring to show off, all while crying, "I love her so much, I regret everything, I'm such a piece of trash, boo-hoo~"

What kind of freak is this! Today, I'm going to shatter the persona of this "loyal and righteous" Haotian Douluo!

As for whether Qian Xunji was actually wounded by a sneak attack, Qian Ningshuang estimated there was a high probability he was.

But whether it was a sneak attack didn't matter; what mattered was that he was Qian Renxue's father, which, by extension, made him Qian Ningshuang's own foster father. It was worth whitewashing the "weakest of the Angel lineage" title for the old man.

"Very well, let's add this announcement. It's all the same whether we post one or two."

Qian Chongling squinted his eyes and said. Since everything Qian Ningshuang said was factual, he was more than happy to whitewash Wuhun Hall a little.

The Consecrators naturally had no objections; they were also happy to recover the reputation Wuhun Hall had lost back then when the Pope died at Tang Hao's hands.

The fact that they had waited until they were certain of the information before acting had already been automatically replaced in their minds with the narrative that they hadn't acted because of the child in the 100,000-year soul beast's womb.

What, someone says that's not true? Let Tang Hao come out and explain it himself. If Tang Hao actually jumped out, these Consecrators would be even happier.

"In a month, I will take Shuang'er to Tiandou. Does anyone here have any different opinions?"

Qian Chongling spoke again, asking the group.

"No!"

The Consecrators had already discussed this matter. Since Qian Renxue was already in Tiandou City, it didn't matter if one went or two went.

They just hadn't expected that Qian Chongling, the Ancestor, would be the one protecting Qian Ningshuang on her trip to Tiandou, though, thinking about it, it was quite appropriate. First, in terms of strength, although they didn't know to what extent this Ancestor, who had once been a god, had recovered, it was certainly far beyond the 99th-level limit. With this level of strength, he could walk sideways across the entire continent, let alone the Heaven Dou Empire.

Secondly, no one in Tiandou City knew Qian Chongling. In the era when Qian Chongling was active, the ancestors of the Xue family didn't even know where they were.

As for the Consecrators themselves, although they had been holed up in Wuhun City for decades, they had all been active on the continent before, and there was no guarantee that some old acquaintance wouldn't recognize them.

As for whether Qian Ningshuang going to Tiandou would affect the so-called "nation-stealing plan"? Honestly, none of the Consecrators cared, and even the executor of the plan, Qian Renxue, didn't take it very seriously.

If it weren't to get away from Pope Bibi Dong, who would let a genius like Qian Renxue, with innate full soul power of level 20, go out and waste her time?

"Alright, since there are no objections, go do what you need to do. Dismissed."

"As you command, Ancestor!"

The Consecrators also prepared to leave the Douluo Hall after receiving the order.

"Oh, right, Xiao Liuer, don't forget your punishment."

Qian Daoliu, who had already reached the main entrance, stumbled and looked back at the Douluo Hall with a resentful expression.

Ancestor, do I look like such a forgetful person?

"Pfft~"

Qian Ningshuang, who was still slowly walking out of the Douluo Hall, almost laughed out loud when she saw this.

After leaving the Douluo Hall, it was back to business as usual. Qian Ningshuang went to the Mimicry Cultivation Field belonging to the Consecrator Hall to cultivate diligently.

Qian Daoliu was busy leading a group of people to track down information on the women who had perished at the hands of the Haotian Sect.

Meanwhile, Tian'e began to arrange the announcement to the entire continent regarding the actions of the Haotian Sect.

Tian'e and Qian Daoliu were the most idle; they were already at level 99, and apart from breaking through to level 100 and becoming a god, there wasn't much room for improvement through hard work.

And becoming a god wasn't something you could achieve just by sitting in meditation. Even with Qian Chongling's guidance and experience, the two of them estimated that it would be difficult for them in this lifetime.

The group from Wuhun Hall began to go about their business, while the storm they had stirred up was spreading across the continent step by step, following the announcements from Wuhun Hall.

Inside the Pope Hall, Bibi Dong looked at the announcement sent over by the Consecrator Hall with an indifferent expression. To distribute the announcement to every village on the continent, the Consecrator Hall couldn't do it alone; they had to cooperate with the Pope Hall.

Bibi Dong wasn't about to hold back the Consecrator Hall on a matter that had already been decided.

Has the Haotian Sect already been wiped out? They certainly move fast.

The Consecrator Hall hadn't notified the Pope Hall of their actions, and the personnel mobilized all belonged to the Consecrator Hall.

However, from the Consecrator Hall's behavior, Bibi Dong could roughly guess that they were planning something big. At first, she thought they were mobilizing people to hunt down Tang Hao, not expecting them to go straight for the destruction of the Haotian Sect.

But if they're wiped out, so be it. A bunch of Evil Soul Masters—they should have died long ago.

Bibi Dong had no fondness for the legendary Evil Soul Masters; in fact, she felt nothing but disgust.

Her own martial soul was what people called an evil martial soul, but precisely because of that, she loathed the legendary Evil Soul Masters.

In her view, they were just a bunch of trash soul masters who couldn't control themselves. She, Bibi Dong, possessed an evil martial soul, and she didn't need to go through the trouble they did to improve herself; she could simply consume souls directly.

Yet she hadn't. From the moment she became a soul master until now, she had only ever consumed one soul: that of Qian Xunji.

That was why she looked down on those things called Evil Soul Masters.

However, Haotian Sect, Tang Hao, Tang San, hehe...

I hope you can truly realize Xiao Gang's theories and make everyone understand that Xiao Gang is no failure!

Beside the announcement sat two files. Bibi Dong picked them up, and they read:

[Tang San, martial soul Blue Silver Grass, registered as a Great Soul Master at the Nuoding City branch on X year, X month, X day. Less than three years since his previous registration as a soul master. Progress is rapid. Suggest the main hall recruit this soul master.]

[Angela, martial soul Yaoguang, observed to potentially be a super martial soul. Registered as a Great Soul Master at the Nuoding City branch on X year, X month, X day. Less than two and a half years since her previous registration as a soul master. Strongly suggest the main hall recruit this soul master. Note: This soul master has repeatedly hinted at a desire to join our Wuhun Hall, but for unknown reasons, has not proactively requested to join, and has repeatedly refused invitations. Suggest the main hall send someone to investigate!]

Soul power surged in her hand, and the two paper files turned into ash.

It's just that this Angela is a bit restless. Should I send someone to warn her?

No, forget it. Those old fossils are watching closely right now. I only hope Xiao Gang can tame this genius.

I also hope she knows what's good for her and realizes Xiao Gang's greatness sooner rather than later.
