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

"What's wrong with Lou Gao? Why is the association selling all this random stuff?" Titan thought with some dissatisfaction.

But not seeing the sign for the Blacksmiths' Association made him uneasy.

Could it be that the Blacksmiths' Association has also recently moved its headquarters?

If that's the case, then with everyone moving around recently, could it be that something big, unknown, has happened on the mainland?
Filled with curiosity, he stopped a passerby and asked, "Young man, isn't this the blacksmiths' association? Why are you doing other businesses here now?"

A passerby glanced at him and said with a smile, "The blacksmiths' association has moved away. The original association building has been rented out to merchants in the city."

"It's all thanks to the Blacksmiths' Association. Otherwise, the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall wouldn't have noticed the parasites in the Spirit Hall of Gengxin City, and we wouldn't be living such good lives now."

Titan was taken aback, seemingly having a bad feeling, and hurriedly asked, "Young man, do you mean that the Blacksmith Association has been absorbed by the Spirit Hall, or has it simply moved away?"

A passerby laughed and said, "They must have joined the Spirit Hall. However, not all blacksmiths joined the Spirit Hall. Those who didn't want to join were given severance pay by the Spirit Hall."

"Although the Spirit Hall was disliked by everyone in the city before, it was just a few bad apples. The Spirit Hall is still the same Spirit Hall as before, and it deserves everyone's trust."

Upon hearing this, Tang San and his servant were stunned into silence.

The Spirit Hall first aroused public anger, and then a high-ranking official arrived who not only won over the Blacksmiths' Association but also improved the Spirit Hall's reputation? How can this be so mysterious?

If such a person truly exists, what terrifying abilities would they possess? If the Spirit Hall maintains such a strong popular base in the future, who would dare to oppose them?

Tang San and Tang Xiao's previous schemes were all based on the premise that the Spirit Hall had trapped itself and lost its popular support.

If that high-ranking official were to travel to several more cities and completely salvage the reputation of the Spirit Hall, their plan could be declared bankrupt before it even began.

"Senior Titan, what exactly is going on?" Tang San was almost going crazy.

They failed to win over the Yu Clan, but their attempt to win over the Blacksmith Association was thwarted by the Spirit Hall. What kind of mess is this?

Titan was embarrassed, but his eyes were filled with anger.

He was a member of the Blacksmiths' Association, so why did Lou Gao bring the Blacksmiths' Association into the Spirit Hall without his consent?
If he catches Lou Gao, he'll definitely let him know why the flowers are so red!

But it's too late to say anything now. The Blacksmiths' Association has already moved and is now in Wuhun City; it's impossible to stop them now.

As he cursed under his breath, Titan noticed the disciples of the Power Clan stationed at the Blacksmiths' Guild. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed one of them by the ear, and yelled, "I told you to watch over the Blacksmiths' Guild, and this is how you watch over it?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the disciple burst into tears of joy, saying repeatedly, "Patriarch, you've finally come! I thought the family had abandoned us."

This was Titan's mistake.

At that time, he was only concerned with moving away from Tiandou City with Haotian Sect, but he did not inform all the disciples of the Power Clan who were away about the family's relocation.

While Wu Qi was trying to win over the blacksmiths' association, these disciples of the Power Clan had already sent the letter back at top speed.

Unfortunately, the family had long since disappeared, leaving them like stray dogs, barely able to survive here.

Upon hearing this, Titan felt it was inappropriate to continue blaming the other party, so he inquired about what had happened at the Blacksmiths' Guild.

The disciple told the truth.
A young elder from the Spirit Hall arrived, reportedly surnamed Wu, and immediately eliminated all the pests, including Miles.

Then, somehow, they convinced Lou Gao, saying that the Spirit Hall would provide the Blacksmith Association with the technology to manufacture soul tools over the next ten to twenty years.

In this way, more than 80% of the blacksmiths joined the Spirit Hall, and those who did not join the Spirit Hall each received a severance payment of one hundred gold soul coins.

Furthermore, having witnessed the Spirit Hall's integrity, on the day the Blacksmiths' Association relocated, some blacksmiths chose to join the Spirit Hall. They returned their severance pay and went to Spirit City with the main force. "Elder Wu?" Titan winked.

In recent years, there has been no news of new elders emerging from the Spirit Hall. It should be noted that the elders of the Spirit Hall are all Title Douluo, and no new Title Douluo have appeared on the continent in recent years.

Among the existing elders of the Spirit Hall, it seems that none of them have the surname Wu, and none of them look young.

After repeated questioning, the disciple still didn't know Elder Wu's true identity, only that the other party looked very young and was about the same age as Tang San.

"Could it be Wu Qi?" Tang San suddenly thought of something.

As Yu Xiaogang previously mentioned, besides the titled Douluo-level elders, the Spirit Hall has a group of honorary elders. Their strength is not that of titled Douluo, but they have made outstanding contributions to the Spirit Hall. Alternatively, they may be geniuses whom the Spirit Hall is focusing on cultivating; to facilitate their actions on the continent, they are also granted the status of honorary elder.

Although Tang San was unconvinced by Wu Qi's strength, he still acknowledged the latter's talent. It was perfectly normal for such a genius to receive special treatment within the Spirit Hall.

Besides this, he couldn't think of any other elders with the surname Wu.

Based on the description of his appearance by the Power Clan, Tang San concluded that the man was Wu Qi.

“Back then, during the Soul Master Competition, Wu Qi and Bibi Dong didn’t get along, so he might not be a subordinate of the Papal Palace.”

Titan suddenly realized something and said, "Young Master, this old servant suspects that the Yu clan has also been incorporated into his ranks."

The Juyi Sect has not yet officially appeared in the mainland's view, and Tang San and his group have already moved away from Tiandou City, so it is not yet clear whether the three major families have found their place.

However, Titan's concerns are not unfounded.

There are no coincidences in this world. If it weren't for Wu Qi, the Blacksmiths' Association would never have joined the Spirit Hall, let alone relocated.

The Yu clan has also recently relocated, and their fate is self-evident.

Titan sighed, "Young Master, we have an opponent now."

"The emergence of such an elder in the Spirit Hall is a blessing for them, but for us, it is not a good omen."

As he spoke, Titan looked at the disciple of the Power Clan.

The Blacksmiths' Association no longer exists, so it's clearly inappropriate to keep the family disciples here.

However, the severance pay these disciples received was a huge sum of money, which could greatly alleviate Tang San's immediate crisis.

Unsurprisingly, under Titan's coercion and enticement, these disciples obediently handed over the money.

However, how to counter the Spirit Hall is something that needs to be discussed carefully.

Wu Qi's efforts to quell the Spirit Hall's fire, and the potential for the Spirit Hall to regain public trust, would be detrimental to them.

……

Hurricane Canyon.

After several days of training, everyone made rapid progress, with each person advancing by an average of 20%.

Using the raging winds, Wu Qi gained a deeper understanding of wind-attribute power, but he was still some distance from condensing it into a domain. (End of Chapter)
