Tang Wei, Do You Want to Dance?

The Titan Giant Ape hadn't fled at random. It had chosen to head for Spirit City.

It knew how greedy humans were, and it knew how terrifying the people in Spirit City could be.

After all, Spirit City was far too close to the Star Dou Forest.

It was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. Even if it died without anyone suitable to absorb its Soul Ring, it could still leave behind a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone.

It knew exactly how tempting its Soul Bone would be to humans.

It didn't believe the Titled Douluo in Spirit City would stand by and watch a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone slip right through their fingers.

It didn't expect to survive. At the very least, it wanted the two great factions to become enemies and fight without end.

This was the Titan Giant Ape's revenge on Tang Wei and the others. It was the only thing it could do now.

Tang Wei saw right through the Titan Giant Ape's plan and hurriedly shouted, "Stop it! We absolutely cannot let it reach Spirit City!"

But with the Gravity Domain bolstering it, and its formidable defense, the Titan Giant Ape didn't slow down for even a moment, despite its internal injuries and the blood streaming from its ears and nose. It kept going on sheer stubborn grit.

Before long, Spirit City was right in front of them.

Tang Wei grew increasingly anxious.

But his anxiety was useless. He was powerless to stop the Titan Giant Ape as it charged toward Spirit City, heedless of everything.

Even though he had rank ninety-seven Soul Power, and even though he had brought five Titled Douluo with him.

Under the Gravity Domain, they were affected, but the Titan Giant Ape wasn't affected at all.

What a cunning Soul Beast.

Tang Wei cursed under his breath, knowing they'd likely have to pay a steep price to take down the Titan Giant Ape today.

After all, Qian Xunji wasn't upright and honorable like Qian Daoliu. He was a complete scoundrel.

The fact that Qian Xunji had bought the Blue Silver Emperor for two hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coins was proof enough.

Even a Soul Saint-level enslaved woman was worth more than two hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coins, let alone the Blue Silver Emperor, a hundred-thousand-year-old transformed Soul Beast.

Douluo Continent, Spirit City.

The Titan Giant Ape stood a hundred meters tall. Every step it took felt like an earthquake, so the elders of Spirit City had noticed something was wrong long ago.

Then they saw the Titan Giant Ape's towering, majestic form, along with the distinctive Clear Sky Hammer.

Spirit Hall.

Gui Mei hurried to find Qian Xunji.

"Your Holiness the Pope, that hundred-thousand-year-old great ape from the Star Dou Forest is running toward Spirit City. The Clear Sky Sect is hunting it down. Should we move in and seize it?"

"The Clear Sky Sect?"

"Then Tang Hao must be about to advance to Titled Douluo."

Qian Xunji immediately understood everything and sighed. "Tang Hao really is kind!"

"Just a few days ago, he sold me a Blue Silver Emperor for two hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coins, and today he's driven a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast right to Spirit City."

"What a great benefactor!"

"Since it's appeared outside Spirit City, it belongs to Spirit City. Naturally, we'll have to compete with the Clear Sky Sect for it."

"Gui Mei, come with me and take a look."

Qian Xunji walked out of Spirit Hall.

Gui Mei hurried after him.

Outside Spirit City.

As soon as the Titan Giant Ape reached the city gates, it collapsed from exhaustion.

It had done what it came to do.

Now all it had to do was wait for the two groups to fight over it.

As for its fate, it would die. If a few Titled Douluo died with it, all the better. If not, so be it.

Qian Xunji appeared at the city gate with Gui Mei and exclaimed loudly:

"My luck is truly wonderful! I only came out for a stroll, and the moment I left Spirit City, I stumbled across a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast."

"Gui Mei, go get some men. Have them transport this hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast into Spirit City. Once we find a suitable person, we'll kill it and take its Soul Ring and Soul Bone."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope." Gui Mei returned to Spirit City to fetch some men.

Tang Wei and the others, who had just arrived, were green with rage. They had expected Qian Xunji to be shameless, but they had still underestimated him. They had never imagined he would try to snatch their hard-won prey without even asking their permission.

Qian Xunji greeted Tang Hao with surprising warmth. "Well, if it isn't little brother Tang Hao!"

"You really are my lucky star!"

"The Ah Yin you sold me for two hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coins the other day was so sweet!"

"She kept me busy all night."

"I imagine you and I are the only ones who know what that felt like."

"And now I've run into you again."

"Not only did I see you, but I also got to pick up a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast for free."

"Little brother Hao, tell me: if you're not my lucky star, what are you?"

At Qian Xunji's words, an image instantly appeared in Tang Hao's mind: Qian Xunji plowing Ah Yin all night.

He could no longer contain his rage and hatred.

"Ah! Qian Xunji, you've humiliated me beyond endurance! I'll fight you to the death!" Tang Hao brought out the Clear Sky Hammer and lunged at Qian Xunji.

But before Tang Hao could charge forward, Tang Wei grabbed him.

"Unfilial son! Don't forget why you came here today!" Tang Wei scolded him, exasperated.

That roar immediately brought Tang Hao back to his senses.

What good would it do to charge at Qian Xunji?

He couldn't beat him, and wouldn't get justice. Worse still, Ah Yin might have to agree to even more unreasonable demands from Qian Xunji to save him.

Tang Hao's spirits sank.

Qian Xunji ignored Tang Hao and turned to Tang Wei, feigning ignorance.

"Sect Master Tang, may I ask why you've brought so many Titled Douluo to Spirit City today?"

"I, Qian, don't believe I've ever offended you."

What a thick skin!

If Qian Daoliu had been so shameless, he'd have had no trouble winning Bo Saixi.

Tang Wei was so furious he nearly swore, but in the end, he held back.

Still, he gave Qian Xunji no courtesy. Even though Qian Xunji was a Limit Douluo, Tang Wei wasn't particularly afraid of him.

After all, Tang Wei himself was rank ninety-seven, and with five elders at his side, even a Limit Douluo was someone they could take on.

More importantly, Tang Wei trusted Qian Daoliu to be fair. That was his greatest reliance.

"Qian Xunji, you know perfectly well why I'm here today. Don't play dumb with me."

"If you keep pretending not to understand, I don't mind calling Uncle Qian out here to judge this fairly." Tang Wei didn't want to waste words, so he went straight to a threat.

Qian Xunji kept pretending not to understand, teasing Tang Wei as he pulled out the agreement Tang Hao had signed.

"Sect Master Tang, look carefully. It's all written in black and white: Tang Hao willingly sold the Blue Silver Emperor to me for two hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coins."

"What, are you trying to go back on the deal?"

"Even if my father came, I'd still be in the right."

"Qian Xunji, I'm talking about the Titan Giant Ape! The Titan Giant Ape!" Tang Wei finally lost his patience and roared. "The Clear Sky Sect worked tooth and nail to hunt it down and badly wound it."

"And now you want to pluck the fruit that should have been ours. Don't you think that's too much? Won't it damage the friendship between our two sides?"

"Too much?"

Qian Xunji asked himself and answered himself.

"Sect Master Tang, I think you're the ones being unreasonable. This Soul Beast clearly fainted right outside the gates of Spirit City. How did it become the Clear Sky Sect's wounded prey?"

"Besides, did anyone see you wound it?"

Before Tang Wei could answer, Qian Xunji turned toward Gui Mei, who had returned from the city with a group of bishops, and asked:

"Did you see it?"

"Did the Clear Sky Sect wound this Soul Beast?"

"Your Holiness the Pope, the Clear Sky Sect is talking nonsense! This hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast clearly fainted on its own at the gates of Spirit City."

"This is the Ancestor God's favor toward us."

"The Clear Sky Sect wants to take away the Ancestor God's favor. They deserve to die!"

"Exactly, Your Holiness the Pope. The Clear Sky Sect has ill intentions."

"Pah! They're a bunch of Titled Douluo, yet their faces are thicker than the city walls."

"Exactly! That big hammer over there doesn't look like a good person at all."

Tang Wei and the others turned even greener!

They had never seen anyone so shameless. If they hadn't known what had actually happened, they might have believed they were the ones in the wrong.

"The fish rots from the head!"

"The fish rots from the head!"

"Qian Daoliu, are you going to come out and do something about your son, Qian Xunji?" Tang Wei roared again. He had never felt so stifled in his life.

"Tang Wei, do you want to dance?" At the mention of Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji's face instantly turned cold.
