Major Events

• Struggle for control: After Bibi Dong’s order to attack Su Liuchuan and Manjusaka led to casualties among Spirit Hall’s elders, Qian Daoliu moved to bring the Worship Hall, Elder Hall, and local forces under Qian-family control. Bibi Dong retained the title of Pope but lost much of her practical authority 101 108 109 210.
• Campaign against Shadow: Qian Daoliu ordered branches to kill any Evil Soul Masters they found. The campaign repeatedly failed because secret plans were being leaked; Bibi Dong was passing intelligence to Shadow, while Bai Ranmo was also secretly connected to the organization 109 110.
• Destruction of the Clear Sky Sect: Following the sect’s cooperation with Evil Soul Masters in an attack on Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu ordered its leaders killed and surrendering members imprisoned. Spirit Hall’s Worship Hall forces then assaulted the sect 118 119.
• Crisis at the tournament finals: After Spirit Hall Academy’s victory, Tang San publicly accused Bibi Dong of being an Evil Soul Master. She attacked Qian Daoliu, and Spirit Hall’s Titled Douluo turned against her. Qian Daoliu subsequently stripped her of the papacy 253 254 255.
• Leadership transition: Qian Daoliu appointed Golden Crocodile Douluo acting pope, named Qian Renxue the future pope after her divine trials, and designated Bai Ranmo to become Elder of Judgment in ten years 268.

Public Image

• Angel God campaign: Bai Ranmo wrote essays presenting Spirit City as an ideal place to live and linking Spirit Hall’s protection of ordinary people to the Angel God. Qian Daoliu authorized their distribution through branches, including to subsidy recipients and villages receiving awakening ceremonies 209 210 214.
• Reception: Some readers dismissed the essays as obvious propaganda, while others began praising Spirit Hall in both empires. Ning Fengzhi interpreted the campaign as a bid to unite the continent; Bai Ranmo stated that its goal was to spread faith in the Angel God 210 214 216.
• After the finals: The essays helped preserve public support when news of the upheaval in Spirit City spread. Qian Daoliu ordered scholars to study them and expanded their distribution 268.
