Clash Erupts

Seeking refuge with us? They're probably just trying to annex our Ye Clan!

Ye Renxin cursed inwardly, but put on a smile. "Bishop Quinn, my Ye Clan is small in number and weak in strength. I beg the Spirit Hall to show mercy and let us go."

"Ye Clan, you don't need to discuss this with me. The orders from above have already been issued, and I cannot disobey them."

Quinn's voice gradually turned cold, "I'm putting this out there today: if you refuse to join my Spirit Hall, your Ye Clan will never be able to establish a foothold in Heaven Dou City!"

"You... you've gone too far!" Ye Renxin was so angry that her chest heaved, and she could hardly speak.

"Hmph!" Quinn snorted coldly.

"Bishop Quinn, please give us a day to consider this, and we will give you an answer after that day."

Ye Wanning patted her father on the back to help him catch his breath, while looking up at Quinn with a tone that was both pleading and requesting.

"Ye Renxin, is this your daughter?" Quinn heard Ye Wanning's voice, his gaze shifted to her, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"What do you want to do?" Ye Renxin frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Quinn chuckled slyly, "If you're willing to let her stay with me for a month, I might consider it and help you cover this up."

"You're dreaming!" Ye Renxin said angrily.

Quinn's face darkened. "Then there's nothing I can do. For your daughter's sake, I can give you a day to consider it. Give me your answer after a day!"

"Don't even think about trying anything funny. I'll have this place sealed off! Let's go!"

With that, Quinn assigned six or seven men to monitor the area, then turned and left with the rest of his men.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the crowd dispersed.

Yu Mingxiao stood there, and suddenly the idea of recruiting the Ye Clan came to mind.

The Ye Clan is currently being coerced by the Spirit Hall, which presents a good opportunity to make a move.

As for whether he would offend the Spirit Hall, he didn't care at all.

The man was recruited by Meng Shu, so what does it have to do with him?

Even if it's later discovered that the Ye Clan has sided with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so what?

In the current Soul Master World, the power structure still appears to be dominated by one palace, two empires, and Seven Great Sects.

None of the various factions dared to easily disrupt this existing order.

The Spirit Hall would not rashly destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for the sake of a mere Ye Clan.

After all, a small change can have far-reaching consequences.

Moreover, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall is Qian Daoliu!

They simply gradually delegated power to Qian Xunji.

Later, under the successive management of Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall continuously produced Titled Douluo, its strength steadily increased, and its influence spread throughout the entire continent. Only by controlling various kingdoms and duchies did it have the confidence to launch a full-scale war.

In this day and age, the Spirit Hall is far from possessing that kind of strength.

"Hmm?" Quinn paused, suddenly noticing Gu Yuena next to Yu Mingxiao. His eyes lit up, and he beckoned to a Deacon beside him, whispering a few words in his ear.

The Deacon nodded repeatedly. After he finished speaking, he quickly walked up to Gu Yuena and said arrogantly, "Young lady, our bishop invites you."

Yu Mingxiao's gaze darkened slightly as he looked at Gu Yuena, chuckling lightly and teasingly saying, "Look at the trouble you've caused."

Gu Yuena knew perfectly well what the fat old man meant by inviting her over, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, scolding, "Is it my fault?"

The Deacon frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Young lady, are you going to refuse His Holiness the Bishop's invitation?"

Gu Yuena didn't speak, but instead focused her gaze on Yu Mingxiao.

"Get your bishop out of here!" Yu Mingxiao said coldly.

"You insolent wretch, how dare you!" The Deacon roared in fury and was about to strike on the spot.

But Yu Mingxiao was faster. With a slap, a strong wind whistled past, and the Deacon fell to the ground!

"You... you..."

The Deacon collapsed to the ground, turning to look at the Platinum Bishop Quinn not far away, and cried out, "Your Excellency! That madman hit me! He clearly doesn't respect you at all!"

"What?! You audacious madman, how dare you lay a hand on my men!" Quinn roared, striding forward. "Who gave you the audacity? Which family are you from?"

Yu Mingxiao's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Quinn, I am not a member of any family. If your subordinates want to attack me, why can't I retaliate?!"

"Very well, very well, what an audacious madman! I'll cripple you today! And this beauty beside you won't escape my grasp either!"

Quinn laughed in fury, his fat face trembling.

A murderous intent flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes, and her aura quietly spread throughout her body. However, due to Yu Mingxiao's presence, she suppressed the urge to forcefully attack.

"This person is in danger. In a way, it's because of me that he's suffering collateral damage."

Ye Renxin had originally planned to return to his residence, but he was drawn to the conflict between Yu Mingxiao and Quinn, and stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on the outside of the residence.

"Father, I feel like that man... looks familiar," Ye Wanning suddenly said softly.

"That man..." Ye Renxin pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "His name seems to be Meng Shu. We met once back in Bala City. He was quite well-known in the Soul Master World, and he and his wife were known as the Dragon-Snake Duo."

"That woman next to her... is that his wife?" Ye Wanning at Gu Yuena, unable to help but exclaim in amazement, "She's so beautiful, absolutely breathtaking."

"I have never seen such a stunning beauty. Even I, a woman, am captivated..."

Ye Renxin sighed, "It must be him. I heard he and his wife are always inseparable, but I never expected his wife to be so young and beautiful."

"Meng Shu is truly blessed. If I were twenty years younger, I might have pursued Chao Tianxiang as well."

"Father is truly shameless," Ye Wanning said reproachfully, her pretty face slightly flushed.

In the arena, Quinn had already completed the Martial Soul Possession.

His Martial Soul is the Beast Martial Soul, the Soul-Devouring Giant Toad.

In an instant, his whole body swelled and twisted, his skin was covered with green spots, and sticky bumps grew all over his body. Combined with his fat and bloated body, he looked like a toad, ugly and ferocious.

Yu Mingxiao, his face full of disdain, sneered, "So it's just a toad, so ugly it's an eyesore."

"Arrogant! You bastard, I'll make you regret ever being born!"

Quinn flew into a rage, opened his massive mouth, and a long, foul-smelling tongue shot out like lightning, attacking Yu Mingxiao.

Yu Mingxiao's eyes turned cold, Dragon-Slaying Blade instantly appeared in his palm, unleashing a golden blade of light.

With a sharp, tearing sound, Quinn's long tongue was severed in two!

The foul-smelling venom mingled with blood, spilling onto the ground and corroding it, leaving black spots...

"Ah! My tongue, my tongue! I want you dead!"

Quinn howled in pain, rapidly retracting the remaining part of his tongue. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his fourth Soul Ring lit up!

His body swelled up, and he shot up like a cannonball, crashing heavily towards Yu Mingxiao!
