Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

For Wu Qilai, the change in the punishment for failing the assessment is undoubtedly a good thing.

Even if he fails the assessment due to unforeseen circumstances, he still has the guaranteed Level 1 God assessment.

The three of them looked at each other and shared their thoughts on the divine examination.

The tests for Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping were to enter the 500-meter and 480-meter ranges, respectively.

"Didn't the divine test tell you where to go?"

They both shook their heads at the same time.

Qian Gu Chang Kong stated, "Angkor, our conditions are the same as yours, and the assessment will begin in five months."

"Even if the assessment is extremely difficult, we have five months to prepare, so there's no rush."

The three of them did not dwell too much on the assessment issue, since the assessment would not begin immediately.

Before long, the three arrived in front of Wuhun City.

Surprisingly, the once bustling city gate area is now much quieter, and the merchants who used to pass by are nowhere to be seen. The heavy city gate is even slightly ajar.

Wu Qi immediately had a bad feeling.

Could it be that the flow of time within the Poisonous Land is not fixed, and a long time has already passed on the Douluo Continent, fast forward to the continental war period?
With a heavy heart, Wu Qi stepped forward and asked, "Where are the city guards?"

The door was pulled open, and a squad of armored guards surrounded the three of them.

"Who are you, and why have you come to Wuhun City!"

Confused, Qian Gu Chang Kong couldn't help but retort, "Seriously? Have you all lost your minds? Why the hell are you closing the city gates for no reason? And are you blind? Don't you know who we are?"

Hearing the commotion outside the city, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance walked out from inside the city gate.

He waved to signal the city guards to return to their posts, then bowed to Wu Qi and the other two, saying, "Elder Wu, Elder Qian Gu, and young friend Chen, by order of the Grand Elder, your subordinates are here to welcome your return."

"Gentlemen, some major events have recently occurred on the mainland. Shall we talk as we walk?"

……

Wu Qi immediately inquired about the time.

Fortunately, the flow of time within the poisonous land remained unchanged, maintaining a ratio of two to one compared to the outside world.

Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, at least he hadn't missed too much.

However, what the middle-aged man told them next was beyond their expectations!
Qian Gu Chang Kong was shocked: "What? The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan was wiped out overnight?"

The middle-aged man sighed and explained, "There are no investigation results yet in the hall. The initial suspicion is that some reclusive sects are involved."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has long since declined, yet it has always occupied a position among the top three sects. Perhaps, some sects can't wait any longer and want to take its place."

"No sect has claimed responsibility for this yet, but quite a few reclusive sects have used this opportunity to announce their comeback. As for who was responsible, there is still no result, which has only caused panic throughout the continent."

The annihilation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan may not necessarily put Spirit City on high alert.

There is another important matter coming up.

The day after the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan was wiped out, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heavenly Dou Empire announced that Emperor Xue Ye's condition had worsened and his life was nearing its end.

These two events combined make it hard not to suspect that this is a signal of an impending continental war.

Not only the Spirit Hall, but almost all cities across the continent have implemented strict entry and exit controls. Apart from essential supplies for the city's residents, other commercial activities have long since ceased.

Wu Qi didn't know why Bibi Dong's soul-hunting operation was brought forward. The most urgent thing for them was to go to the Hall of Worship to report first, and then inquire about information from the worshippers.

……

Worship Hall.

The worshippers, rarely smiling, showed concern for the three's health upon their return.

The worshippers inquired in detail about the Poisonous Land. Before leaving, Hunter didn't seem concerned about whether the Poisonous Land had been exposed.

For this reason, Wu Qi and the other two reported what they had seen and felt in the highly poisonous land.

Qingluan Douluo said slowly, "Although the flow of time there is slower than on the mainland, your age will increase as a result of being there."

The three men, Wu Qi, were actually a year older than they are now.

There is no difference in appearance; only a bone age test can reveal the difference.

After a brief conversation, Qian Daoliu said, "Chen Ping, you go back and rest first. Chang Kong and Xiao Wu, please stay behind."

Wu Qi knew that they were about to discuss serious matters.

After Chen Ping left, Wu Qi asked, "Grandpa Qian, wasn't it our Spirit Hall that destroyed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Qian Gu Chang Kong glanced at him in astonishment, and seeing that the worshippers had no intention of refuting him, he was immediately terrified.

The Demon-Slaying Douluo asked with a smile, "Then guess who's leading the team this time?"

On his way back to the Hall of Offerings, Wu Qi encountered many mid-level Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall who were unaware of the matter.

This shows that, unlike in the original timeline, this operation did not involve the Spirit Hall's Soul Master Legion.

In the original timeline, with a large number of Spirit Hall Soul Masters involved, even if they were ordered to remain silent, some rumors would still circulate internally. This is unlike the current situation—where these people actively sought out Wu Qi to inquire about the situation.

As a result, the number of people participating in the operation will inevitably be very small.

The person leading the team must be extremely powerful to be able to wipe out the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan; the Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo of the Papal Palace clearly couldn't do that.

“It was done by our temple!” Wu Qi frowned.

He didn't understand why Qian Daoliu would agree to Bibi Dong's plan.

You know, both he and Qian Renxue have the opportunity to become gods in the future. Wouldn't it be better to take back the power of the Spirit Hall from Bibi Dong at that time?

If we go along with Bibi Dong's actions now and let her appetite grow, things could get complicated in the future.

The elders readily admitted, "The team was led by the sixth and seventh elders, along with four titled Douluo from the Elder Hall and twenty Soul Douluo powerhouses."

Such a configuration is enough to wipe out the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was already an appendage of the Hall of Worship, so this time the flames of war did not reach them.

Of course, this was a compromise between Bibi Dong and the Hall of Offering.

In order to gain the support of the temple, she had to make concessions on certain matters.

Besides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is already part of the Spirit Hall, and can serve as their henchmen in the future. It's better to keep them alive than to destroy them.

The vast sky was in a state of profound shock.

When did the Spirit Hall become so domineering, wiping out entire families at will?

A thousand streams turned around and waved their hands.

Qianjun Douluo understood and kicked Qiangu Changkong, "You brat, what are you standing there for? Get back here now."

"oh oh."

Qian Gu Chang Kong left the main hall, his soul seemingly adrift.

At this moment, only seven worshippers and Wu Qi remained in the main hall.

Qian Daoliu slowly spoke, "I sensed divinity within you, a power even stronger than that of the God Ancestor."

"Which deity's legacy did you receive?"

Through the transmission of information about the divine realm via angelic statues and the summaries of successive high priests, Qian Daoliu was able to learn a great deal about the affairs of the divine realm. (End of Chapter)
