Yu Yuanzhen was slain by Qian Xunye!

Everything fell silent.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three upper sects among the seven great sects of the soul master world, was annihilated!

"So this is the master of the Night Temple... The mighty Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was wiped out just like that!"

"Under its master's leadership, will the Night Temple become a force even stronger than Spirit Hall?" Long Potian was utterly shaken, his heart filled with yearning.

"Strip Yu Yuanzhen of his soul bones. Take away everything valuable from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Qian Xunye's figure vanished first.

"Yes!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Dugu Bo, and Long Potian began removing soul bones and looting soul tools, treasures, and Gold Soul Coins, emptying out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan completely.

Meanwhile, Qian Xunye had already returned to Qian Renxue's side.

Qian Renxue froze. "Uncle, th-this quickly? The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has already been destroyed?"

"Yes. Every last one of them."

Qian Renxue covered her mouth in shock. "My god, Uncle, it's only been an hour! That was way too fast! How could the Blue Lightning Clan be so weak?"

"It wasn't that they were weak. It was that the power your uncle has accumulated is simply too strong now." Qian Xunye shook his head. "If your grandfather and those consecrated elders weren't clinging to those stupid rules, Spirit Hall could unite the Douluo Continent just as easily."

As consecrated elders beneath the gods, their duty was to protect Spirit Hall, not expand outward.

Therefore, unless Spirit Hall faced utter destruction, the consecrated elders could not easily take action against external forces.

Those were the rules and restrictions the Hall of Consecration had to uphold.

That was precisely why, in the original story, Spirit Hall wanted to unify the continent while also abiding by those rules.

This allowed Tang San to grow, eventually leading Spirit Hall to its destruction.

If the Hall of Consecration had been willing to act early, how could they have let Tang San jump around until he became a god?

Why would they have worried about being unable to rule the continent?

Whenever Qian Xunye thought of these matters, he could only shake his head.

But it no longer mattered whether the Hall of Consecration acted or not. In this life, he, Qian Xunye, would clear away every obstacle for his niece.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was merely the beginning!

"Uncle, Grandfather and the others are consecrated elders after all. They have things they must uphold..."

"Enough. Let's not talk about that." Qian Xunye interrupted her.

Qian Renxue suddenly planted her hands on her hips. "Fine! Then, Uncle, let's talk about the Night Temple! Are you planning to create your own faction?"

"That's right."

Qian Renxue did not understand. "Why, Uncle? Isn't Spirit Hall good enough? You drove away Bibi Dong, killed Tang Hao, and now destroyed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Every one of those things is an enormous contribution toward Spirit Hall unifying the continent in the future. You could completely take over Spirit Hall and succeed to the position of Pope. Xiaoxue is willing!"

"But your uncle isn't willing!"

Qian Xunye shook his head. "Xiaoxue, your uncle has lived freely and done as he pleased his entire life. The position of Pope is ultimately still constrained by the Hall of Consecration. Your uncle wants to be his own king!"

"Fine." Qian Renxue sighed inwardly, suddenly feeling a little angry. In a somewhat coquettish tone, she said, "And Uncle! You have such powerful strength in the Dark Night Mark, yet you'd rather give it to outsiders than to me. Hmph! Xiaoxue is angry, and you can't cheer me up~"

Qian Xunye did not know whether to laugh or cry. "My dear niece, it's not that your uncle is unwilling to give you the power of the Dark Night Mark. It's that this power will be restrained by me. Besides, your grandfather would not want you to possess this power either."

"Cultivate properly. Your future can become just as powerful."

"Uncle and Grandfather's relationship is already very tense. If this power makes their relationship worsen again..." Thinking of this, Qian Renxue let the matter drop.

The two waited there for a while.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the other two arrived.

Dugu Bo stepped forward and reported, "My lord, Yu Yuanzhen had two ten-thousand-year soul bones on him, both obtained from lightning-attributed draconic soul beasts. Aside from those, there were several thousand-year soul bones and a small number of hundred-year soul bones."

"There were also quite a few spatial storage soul tools, rare ores and gemstones, as well as several hundred million Gold Soul Coins."

"Heh, worthy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's accumulated wealth. Not bad at all. Their total assets amount to well over one billion Gold Soul Coins." Qian Xunye smiled.

If the Night Temple was to grow stronger in the future, wealth was indispensable.

After all, soul masters who joined a faction would not work for free. They had to be paid.

This influx of wealth was enough to ensure that the Night Temple would not need to worry about money for the next hundred years.

"Dugu Bo, you made the greatest contribution this time. I'll reward you with one of Yu Yuanzhen's ten-thousand-year dragon-type soul bones."

Dugu Bo's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, my lord!"

"Yue Guan, Elder Gui Mei, your contributions cannot be overlooked either. These two ten-thousand-year soul bones were obtained in Slaughter City. They suit you quite well. Take one each and absorb them."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were overwhelmed with emotion.

They had served three generations of Popes in Spirit Hall, working tirelessly without complaint, yet they had never received a single ten-thousand-year soul bone.

Ghost Douluo had one ten-thousand-year soul bone, but he had obtained it through his own fortunate encounter.

Yet after following Qian Xunye for such a short time, each of them had already received two ten-thousand-year soul bones in succession!

"Following Young Master Xunye is simply incredible!"

"Exactly! Old Ghost, Young Master really doesn't treat us like outsiders!!" Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo became even more loyal.

"He gave away ten-thousand-year soul bones so easily..."

Long Potian watched from the side, his face full of envy.

Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been destroyed, it was time for Qian Xunye to visit the completed Night Temple in Sunset Forest.

He also wanted to see the talented young soul masters Dugu Bo had recruited for him.

What kind of geniuses will my Night Temple have? I hope there will be a few pleasant surprises. Qian Xunye smiled, then said, "Let's go. To Sunset Forest."

"Yes!"

Several days later.

The group arrived at the outer region of Sunset Forest.

Sunset Forest was enormous.

It was likewise divided into outer, inner, and core regions, though only the inner region contained the poisonous mist forest.

The Night Temple had been built within the core region.

Dugu Bo had specially opened up a safe path for the people of the Night Temple to enter and leave.

"My lord, we have arrived!"

At that moment, everyone stood before a black castle surrounded by high walls on all sides.

A tall tower stood at its center. At the tip of the tower was a carved stone statue of a six-winged Dark Angel. This was the rather grand Night Temple.

"Not bad." Qian Xunye was fairly satisfied.

The location was excellent as well. The inner region had its poisonous mist forest, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even an army of a million from Heaven Dou would be blocked by the poisonous mist.

"Come. Let's enter the temple. Show me the talented young soul masters you recruited."

"Yes! My lord, please follow me!"

Dugu Bo led the group into the temple and arrived at the disciples' training grounds.

At that moment, all the children were cultivating in the large training field.

Dugu Bo called out, "Children, stop cultivating and gather here!"
