The Tang family is simply courting death

The assembled Worships, Title Douluo, Qian Xunji, and Qian Renxue all wore expressions of confusion; if they were called normal soul masters, how could they possibly be evil soul masters?

Qian Daoliu continued, "As everyone knows, the cultivation speed of evil soul masters is extremely fast because they use improper methods to rapidly increase their cultivation by devouring flesh and blood. It is similar to those sinister techniques on the continent that consume a soul master's lifespan and talent to boost their cultivation in a short period."

"Evil soul masters devour and absorb flesh and blood to rapidly increase their cultivation, which is why they are defined as evil. We and the great families of the soul master world also consume the flesh and blood of soul beasts to promote our cultivation; why are these soul masters not defined as evil?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "This is because we do not excessively consume resources or slaughter wantonly. We only turn the flesh of the soul beasts we kill to absorb soul rings into delicacies, making use of waste. We rarely kill unrelated soul beasts, and even if we do, we kill those of lower age that can recover quickly."

"For a soul beast to grow to a thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand years, the time required is ten or a hundred times that which a soul master needs to cultivate enough to absorb their soul rings. If soul masters slaughter soul beasts wantonly, then sooner or later, soul beast resources will be completely exhausted, and soul masters will disappear."

"Great Worship, do you mean that the people of the Clear Sky Sect have slaughtered soul beasts on a massive scale?"

Qian Daoliu gave Chrysanthemum Douluo an approving look. Chrysanthemum Douluo's strength was mediocre, but his brain turned quickly; there was no need for him to explain everything slowly by himself.

"The Pope investigated information on Tang Hao in detail because he was defeated by him. Tang Hao was thirty when he broke through to become a Soul Saint, and he was thirty-five when he announced his departure from the Clear Sky Sect and took the Blue Silver Emperor to hide from Martial Soul Hall's pursuit. During that time, he fought one of our Martial Soul Hall's Title Douluo, and his cultivation was at level 84 as a Soul Douluo."

Qian Xunji was a bit dazed. When had he ever investigated Tang Hao's intelligence in detail? It was you, Father, who investigated it; why are you throwing the blame on me?

The Title Douluo who had fought Tang Hao ten years ago and had his leg broken by Tang Hao's hammer muttered, "Breaking through 14 levels in five years, such fast speed. But Tang Hao broke through to Title Douluo at 44; calculating that, he only broke through 6 levels in nine years..."

"Great Worship, could it be that those two brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, slaughtered soul beasts on a massive scale to obtain soul bones while training on the continent?"

Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back and said, "I am not entirely sure either. If a soul master wants to increase their cultivation speed, there are only a few things: absorbing soul rings and the soul power contained within them; absorbing soul bones and the soul power contained within them; or taking heavenly treasures and absorbing the soul power contained within them."

Chrysanthemum Douluo said angrily, "It must be the wanton slaughter of soul beasts to obtain soul bones, and the increase in soul power brought by absorbing soul bones—it must be! If Tang Hao really had such high cultivation talent and maintained that cultivation speed from thirty to thirty-five, he wouldn't have been a Soul Saint at thirty; he would likely have been close to a Soul Douluo!"

"That shameless thing, Tang Hao! To obtain soul bones, how many soul beasts did he slaughter? And he still had the face to fall in love with a hundred thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo clenched his fists tightly, filled with immense anger, jealousy, and hatred. Given Tang Hao's cultivation speed, he dared to say that Tang Hao must have stopped only after all six of his soul bone slots were full. As a fellow Title Douluo and a senior to Tang Hao, he didn't have a single soul bone on his body.

If he were willing, he could also slaughter soul beasts wantonly to obtain all six soul bones, but could he do that? Just as Qian Daoliu said, if everyone slaughtered soul beasts for soul bones, in a few hundred years, high-level soul beasts would likely be extinct, and future soul masters would have no rings to use.

The faces of the Worships and many Elders present showed varying degrees of anger. They were all from Martial Soul Hall, and one of the rules Martial Soul Hall proclaimed to the soul master world was the prohibition of wanton slaughter of soul beasts.

Golden Crocodile Douluo said angrily, "Tang Hao is truly an evil soul master! How did that fellow Tang Chen teach such a selfish grandson!"

At this moment, a man wearing golden armor, with a somewhat thin build and an icy aura, entered the entrance of the Elder Hall. Upon entering and seeing the Elder Hall, the Pope, the Young Master, the Saintess, the Elders, and the Worships all gathered, he looked stunned.

"Greetings to all Worships."

The man immediately flashed to the center of the hall and bowed in salute.

This man was Ghost Leopard Douluo, who had been left in the Clear Sky Mountain Range to secretly observe the Clear Sky Sect.

Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke, "Elder Ghost Leopard, how is the Clear Sky Sect now?"

Ghost Leopard Douluo cupped his hands and said, "Great Worship, Second Worship, on the surface, the Clear Sky Sect has summoned all its affiliated clans to fight against our Martial Soul Hall. But after careful observation by this subordinate, the Clear Sky Sect seems to be preparing to use the affiliated clans to confuse our Martial Soul Hall, while the main clan members are secretly evacuating."

"So it's not just Tang Hao; the Clear Sky Sect actually let the affiliated clans act as cannon fodder to die, buying time for their own evacuation. These Tang family members are all evil soul masters who have brought destruction upon themselves."

"Great Worship, please give the order quickly to exterminate these evil soul masters of the Clear Sky Sect who have betrayed humanity!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke, and the Title Douluo Elders, including the Worships, felt their soul power surging, killing intent appearing in their eyes as they prepared to eradicate this scum of the soul master world.

Qian Xunji's face was filled with extreme shame. He had been miserably defeated by such a shameless, selfish, evil thing as Tang Hao; this was simply an insult to him as the descendant of the angels. He had failed his Six-Winged Angel martial soul.

"How are your brains wired? Are you treating my words as wind passing by?"

Qian Daoliu was speechless, feeling helpless at having such pig-like teammates. Why not fight without martial virtue? What is the root of fighting without martial virtue? It is to deal the greatest damage with the minimum consumption.

Yet these things still mindlessly wanted to engage in a frontal assault.

There were easier and more casual methods that would not only prevent Martial Soul Hall from losing soldiers and generals but also allow Martial Soul Hall's strength to surge, solving the Clear Sky Sect without any effort.

Did they not know that there is a type of control-system soul master in this world who is invincible below the Title level, but cannot beat anyone above it? Let the Tang family hide in their rat hole, hit them with a wave of poison, and then harvest the remaining Title Douluo.

It was unclear whether Dugu Bo had broken through to Title Douluo yet, but Porcupinefish Douluo was already a level 91 Title Douluo.

The Clear Sky Sect's affiliated clans—the Defense, Speed, and Attack clans—faced the crisis of annihilation as the Martial Soul Hall army pressed down, and the Tang family abandoned them to run away. What would they think? Would they still risk their lives for such a sect? It would be a kindness if they didn't turn around and attack them instead.

Ah, this seemed to be Douluo; the strategy of cutting off supplies was an eternal masterpiece, so that was fine.

Qian Daoliu sighed with mental exhaustion, "I suppose I will have to handle it myself."
