Within Tiandou City, Yuexuan—the former court etiquette school of the Heaven Dou Empire—had been completely surrounded by a group of spirit masters wearing the uniforms of Wuhun Hall.
Do not wonder how Wuhun Hall knew about the connection between Yuexuan and the Haotian Sect. Tang Yuehua, the former third young lady of the Haotian Sect, had been strutting around Tiandou City day and night without even changing her name; Wuhun Hall was neither blind nor deaf.
It was just that they had previously been too lazy to care about a mere level 9 spirit master. But now that the Haotian Sect had been wiped out, and since Wuhun Hall couldn't catch that slippery titled expert Tang Hao, wasn't catching a level 9 spirit master easy as pie?
Not to mention that the pile of female corpses within the Haotian Sect had an undeniable connection to this so-called noble school.
Furthermore, Qian Ningshuang was making a fuss within Wuhun Hall, so how could they possibly let her go?
Qian Ningshuang wasn't actually interested in Tang Yuehua, a woman of peerless elegance from the original story. She was just a level 9 weakling; perhaps only her possession of a domain at level 9 was worth mentioning.
But since Qian Ningshuang had no intention of going to the Capital of Slaughter to "procure" a domain, what did the Noble Ring have to do with her?
It was better to capture this support for the Tang God King early; once Tang Hao was caught, they could just finish them both off together.
Tang Yuehua didn't put up any resistance. She stayed inside Yuexuan, putting on an air of so-called noble grace while waiting for the people from Wuhun Hall to arrive.
Then, she was dragged into a room by two female spirit masters, and immediately after, a heart-wrenching wail echoed from within the room.
Following that, the vast crowd of onlookers in Tiandou City witnessed a scene they loved to see: Wuhun Hall spirit masters parading a woman with a shaved head and wearing prison garb through the main streets. A large sign hung in front of the prisoner, reading: "Accomplice to the Evil Soul Masters of the Haotian Sect."
Immediately, rotten eggs and vegetable leaves began to pelt the prisoner with a rhythmic patter.
An accomplice to Evil Soul Masters, eh? It was a mercy she hadn't been beaten to death on the spot. The Wuhun Hall guards were also happy to see this; she was a sinner, so who was she trying to impress with that haughty attitude?
At the same time, the third elder Yin Long and the fourth elder Qing Yu were secretly keeping watch over Tang Yuehua.
Originally, the two of them shouldn't have come to Tiandou City, but when Qian Ningshuang went to tell Qian Chongling not to forget to capture Tang Yuehua, Qian Chongling realized it too.
Tang Hao still had this younger sister running around outside. Once they captured Tang Yuehua, it might lure Tang Hao out, and that was exactly what they wanted—they were just worrying about not being able to catch Tang Hao.
Thus, the two elders who had been in seclusion left Wuhun City just like that.
At the same moment, in the south of Tiandou City, a mansion with two stone gorilla statues carved outside the main gate was also surrounded by a group of Wuhun Hall spirit masters.
Inside the mansion, the sounds of fighting and screams were incessant.
"Ling Tian Strike!"
As the final move landed, Tai Tan, who had once been full of overbearing power, lay on the ground, clearly not long for this world.
A middle-aged man with black and white hair walked up to Tai Tan, looking down at him from above.
"I say, what was the point of this?"
"We were just following orders to investigate. Why are you such a stubborn old ape?"
The one speaking was a titled expert from Wuhun Hall—Yun Bao Douluo, who belonged to the elder faction and was a level 93 titled Douluo.
Tai Tan just stared fixedly at Yun Bao, roaring hoarsely: "Why? Why do you know the Haotian Nine Absolutes?"
"Haotian Nine Absolutes? It's the Wuhun Nine Absolutes now."
"As for how I know it, since you're about to die, I'll be merciful and tell you."
"Every titled expert belonging to Wuhun Hall knows it now."
"Do you want me to perform a Ring Detonation for you, big monkey?"
Hearing this, Tai Tan was enraged. Back at the Haotian Sect, whenever sect disciples practiced the Haotian Nine Absolutes, they, the affiliated sects, were required to stay far away.
Now, Wuhun Hall was telling him that everyone had a copy?
"How dare you! Pfft!"
Yun Bao stepped onto Tai Tan's chest, then bent down, grinning as he looked at Tai Tan.
"Why wouldn't I dare? They're just a few self-created spirit skills. So what if I learned them?"
"What could that bunch of Evil Soul Masters from the Haotian Sect even do to my Wuhun Hall?"
"I only regret that when the Haotian Sect was destroyed, I didn't go along to personally kill a few pieces of trash to vent my anger!"
The foot pressing on Tai Tan's chest ground down fiercely, and Yun Bao's face was already filled with killing intent.
"But now, personally slaughtering you lackeys of the Evil Soul Masters isn't bad either."
"I hope the remaining Three Single-Attribute Clans can be as loyal to the Evil Soul Master Tang Hao as your Strength Clan, so I can properly loosen up my muscles."
"You're full of crap! Your Wuhun Hall is full of crap! My master is not an Evil Soul Master!"
When Tang Hao was mentioned, Tai Tan ignored his dying body and forced himself to roar.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes. That's the attitude. I hope the remaining Three Single-Attribute Clans can be just as tough."
As spirit power surged through his body, the Tai Tan under Yun Bao's foot stopped breathing, leaving only a pair of wide-open eyes that showed just how furious he was before he died.
Looking up at the battle that was already nearing its end, Yun Bao shook his head.
He had been assigned by the elders to investigate whether the Four Single-Attribute Sects were involved in the affairs of the Haotian Sect's Evil Soul Masters.
Yes, investigate—they weren't actually here to wipe out the sects.
It was the same old story: Wuhun Hall wanted a reputation. This wasn't just a matter of whether they cared about their image, but a consideration based on reality.
If Wuhun Hall were just a normal spirit master faction, then face and reputation wouldn't matter, but for a Wuhun Hall aspiring to unify the world, it wouldn't do. Reputation was sometimes still very important.
Although he spoke with murderous intent, as if he couldn't wait to paint the ground red, Yun Bao remained very restrained in his heart; the elders wouldn't truly send a reckless madman to be in charge of this matter.
Exterminating the Strength Clan was truly a last resort; the moment he surrounded this bunch of gorillas with nothing but muscle in their brains, they charged out the door in a fit of rage.
Of course, just coming out wouldn't have been enough to provoke the wrath of Yun Bao, but as Tai Tan charged out, he demanded that Yun Bao acknowledge Tang Hao was neither an Evil Soul Master nor a heartless, unrighteous man, and that Wuhun Hall must retract their public announcement and apologize.
???
At that moment, Yun Bao almost had a question mark written across his face. The Haotian Sect was already full of Evil Soul Masters, and you're telling me that Tang Hao, the former heir to the sect, isn't one?
That was pure nonsense. As for whether Tang Hao was heartless or unrighteous, who the hell knew? He wasn't even there, so Tai Tan could just say whatever he wanted with his mouth.
Since they couldn't see eye to eye, there was nothing left to do but regretfully exterminate his clan.
"I hope the remaining three clans aren't this brain-dead. Exterminating clans is fine once or twice, but if it happens too often, it doesn't sound very good when word gets out."
With a sigh, he gathered his men and prepared to head toward the next clan.
Just then, a flying spirit master dressed in Wuhun Hall attire landed in front of Yun Bao. Upon landing, the spirit master immediately pulled a letter from his chest and held it above his head with both hands.
"Elder Yun Bao, this is a letter from Wuhun City, addressed specifically to you!"
Yun Bao didn't waste any words; he opened the letter right there on the spot and began to read.
Before long, Yun Bao finished the letter and casually destroyed it, while questions simultaneously surfaced in his mind.
Why does the Second Young Lady want me to capture the entire Break Clan alive? Is there something special about this Break Clan?
And the Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng—the Agility Clan has such a good treasure? How did the Second Young Lady even know about it?
Carrying these questions, Yun Bao began his investigation into the remaining three clans.
Not long after Yun Bao left Tiandou City, Tang Hao finally arrived outside the city. Fortunately, his previous location hadn't been far from Tiandou City, which was why he had made it so quickly.
Then, Tang Hao walked into Tiandou City and eventually stood there, staring blankly at the Spirit Saint Hall within the city from a distance.
Because of his ninth spirit ring, he was even better at concealing his aura than agility-type Title Douluo, and his perception range far exceeded that of many other Title Douluo as well.
He sensed the aura belonging to a Super Douluo inside the Spirit Saint Hall.
After struggling for a long time, Tang Hao finally turned and left, leaving a single tear behind on the ground.
"Third Sister, I'm sorry. But your Second Brother has no choice. Little San is the only hope for our Haotian Sect's revenge."
