Qian Daoliu Takes Action (Please Recommend and Request More Updates)

Spirit Hall!

While Tang San was focused on how he would achieve Dual God Fusion with the Sea God and the Asura God, Qian Daoliu was far more concerned about Qian Renxue.

Damn it! How dare they manipulate Xue'er's fate? To force her to follow some so-called plot, they made her fall in love with Tang San, the son of destiny, until she let him escape time and again.

Qian Daoliu's eyes brimmed with killing intent. In his younger days, he had been an Adjudication Elder of Spirit Hall, decisive and ruthless toward outsiders when its interests were at stake.

He had never lacked the will to kill.

I won't leave the problem of Tang San for Xue'er to solve again. Rather than trust the wisdom of those who come after me, I'll bear three generations' suffering myself. If I nip every threat in the bud, Xue'er can become the Angel God without a worry.

What he heard next made Qian Daoliu even angrier with Bibi Dong.

So Tang San learned about Sea God Island from Yu Xiaogang, and Yu Xiaogang learned about it from Bibi Dong. It all goes back to Spirit Hall's campaign against Sea God Island. That woman betrays her own people. If I hadn't wanted Xue'er to lose her mother, I would never have let her live this long.

Just then, someone called out.

"Great Enshrined!"

A moment later, Demon Subduing Douluo, whom he had sent out earlier, landed with Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo by their collars.

Having lost Qian Renxue, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo both kept their heads down, looking deeply ashamed.

Demon Subduing Douluo explained:

"Great Enshrined, we've found out what happened. The young mistress launched the Heaven Dou Palace Coup tonight, but that bastard Tang San brought Poison Douluo Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan and drove her and her people off."

"The young mistress was injured. While Snake Lance and Pufferfish were escorting her back, a rift suddenly opened in the void and sucked her in. Neither of them had time to stop it."

"After that came what we saw on the Sky Screen."

With the whole story laid bare, Qian Daoliu's expression turned icy. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

"That damned Tang San even wounded Xue'er so badly. Good. Very good..."

"Golden Crocodile, Lion, Guang Ling, Azure Luan, Qian Jun, Jiang Mo—step forward and receive your orders!"

The six enshrined elders stepped forward together, cupped their fists, and answered loudly:

"We await your orders!"

Qian Daoliu's power erupted, setting his robes snapping.

"Mobilize the Angel Legion. You six will come with me to avenge Xue'er and wipe out Tang San once and for all. Neither the two empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo, nor the Clear Sky Sect, nor the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has the power to truly destroy Spirit Hall. Tang San alone is our greatest threat."

"We leave for Heaven Dou City at once. Tang San must die."

The six enshrined elders answered, their voices thick with killing intent:

"Yes!"

In less than ten minutes, Qian Daoliu and the six other enshrined elders left Spirit City for Heaven Dou City, leading the Angel Legion, whose members were all flying Soul Masters.

The Papal Hall!

Pope Bibi Dong looked up at the Angel Legion setting out in force. She gave a cold snort and cursed under her breath.

"Old bastard. When I carried out the Soul Hunting Plan, you kept the Worship Hall and the Angel Legion locked away and refused to let them take part. My Soul Master army suffered terrible losses because of it."

"Now, to kill Tang San, you're sending out both the Worship Hall and the Angel Legion. How generous of you."

"But this suits me fine. Tang San possesses tremendous fortune. In the end, he achieved Dual God Fusion with the Sea God and the Asura God, and even took my life. If he dies by your hand, so much the better. It saves me the trouble."

Beside Bibi Dong, Hu Liena was frantic. If Bibi Dong had gone after Tang San herself, Hu Liena might still have found a way to warn him.

But it was the Worship Hall and the Angel Legion that had set out. Hu Liena could not even catch up with them, much less send Tang San a warning.

Tang San, heaven protects the good. You can't die like this. Xiao Ran even said on the Sky Screen that you're destined for greatness and possess tremendous fortune. Why must Spirit Hall and Tang San fight to the death? Why can't they coexist in peace?

Meanwhile, Xiao Ran continued his account on the Sky Screen.

Blue Star!

Xiao Ran took a sip of cola to wet his throat, then launched back into his torrent of words.

"When Tang San returned to the mainland from Sea God Island for the first time, he planned to head to the Star Dou Great Forest and add Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer. On the way, he passed through Xilu City."

"There, he encountered the King of Slaughter pursuing Hu Liena. Tang San was to blame for that, too. When he challenged Hell Road in Slaughter City, he declared Slaughter City an evil place and poisoned its blood pool, destroying the city. So the King of Slaughter came after the culprit. Tang San administered the poison, but Hu Liena suffered for something she had nothing to do with."

At this, Qian Renxue frowned.

"Tang San did something like that too? Slaughter City is a prison. It holds criminals whose crimes are monstrous, and its special domain prevents anyone who enters from leaving."

"Slaughter City is evil, certainly. But having somewhere to contain those villains is a good thing for the Douluo Continent. Why did he destroy it?"

"Where will the continent's villains be imprisoned now? If they're running loose everywhere, that can't be good for its people. Even if Spirit Hall's law-enforcement teams ran their legs off, they couldn't cover the entire Douluo Continent."

Xiao Ran nodded approvingly.

"That's you, all right. You spotted the heart of the problem. Without Slaughter City to imprison villains, Evil Soul Masters ran rampant across the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years afterward. Saying the people lived in deep water and scorching fire would be no exaggeration."

"Tang San never stops claiming he's pure as ice and clean as jade, but he's a hypocrite through and through. Destroying Slaughter City is just one example of his double standards."

After leaving the Douluo Continent, Qian Renxue's mind had cleared. The affection for Tang San that had been forced upon her had long since vanished like smoke. Now, hearing of yet another vile thing he had done, her beautiful face filled with disgust.

"Tang San is despicable. The son of destiny? As if he deserves that title."

Xiao Ran shrugged.

"He certainly doesn't. I'm not the only one who thinks so. Many people on Blue Star see Tang San as a lapdog of Feudalism who cares only about protecting emperors and nobles. On Blue Star, we put the people first."

"And on that count, Spirit Hall does an excellent job. Every year, its local officials travel to remote villages to awaken Martial Souls for the children there. What a tremendous good deed."

"Spirit Hall aligns far more closely with Blue Star's ideals than the two empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo do."

Praised by Xiao Ran, Qian Renxue lifted her chin with pride.

"So you also believe Spirit Hall is right to unify the Douluo Continent?"

Xiao Ran nodded as though the answer were obvious.

"Of course. Unification is a just cause. Division means conflict, and conflict means war. For ordinary people, that's unquestionably a disaster."
