Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 175 The Youngest Pope in History, the Martial Soul Empire Established

"This is just the beginning. Next, the most high-level war on the continent will begin!"

Without a Title Douluo to protect them, the Fallen Soul Masters were completely powerless to fight back.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they had all perished.

Faced with Dugu Bo's poison, even those who were only at the Soul Douluo level couldn't survive.

Seeing that the crisis had passed, Wu Zetian (a character from the novel) released the Demon King.

"Phew, it's finally over!"

The three traitors appeared, all looking exhausted, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although they did not control the Demon King, they still provided him with just as much soul power.

If it weren't for the support of the three people's soul power, the Demon King would probably have already disintegrated.

The most tiring thing is having no thieves in the world.

The moment it disintegrated, a profound sense of exhaustion washed over me.

He stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

After all, he was the one controlling the Demon King. How could he not be tired when he was multitasking?

The traitorous official reacted quickly, grabbing him and asking with concern, "Boss, are you alright?!"

"No Thieves Under Heaven" waved his hand, his voice tinged with exhaustion: "It's nothing, I'm just too tired."

"Tch, it's good that you're alright!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the traitor released his grip.

Suddenly, he felt a loss of weight and his body lurched forward uncontrollably.

"Second brother, you son of a bitch!"

He forced his right leg forward to support himself, barely managing to avoid falling flat on his face.

The traitorous minister broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this, and his lips twitched.

"Boss, if I say I didn't do it on purpose, will you believe me?"

"I believe..." Tianxia Wuzei yelled and charged forward, "I believe your grandma's leg!"

Bang bang bang!
The next moment, screams rang out, and smoke and dust filled the air.

When the smoke cleared, the traitor was seen kneeling on the ground in a sorry state, sporting panda eyes, sausage lips, and several large, smoking, flesh-colored bumps on his head.

The man who recognized the thief as his father and the shifty-eyed man were barely suppressing their laughter, but their shoulders were twitching, clearly on the verge of bursting out.

"No Thieves Under Heaven" rolled his eyes, utterly speechless at these unreliable fellows.

"Stop joking around, they're coming."

Before the words were even finished, the elders and retainers of the Spirit Hall had already appeared.

As for cleaning up the battlefield, that's naturally someone else's responsibility.

Upon seeing Qian Daoliu arrive, Tianxia Wuzei bowed and begged for forgiveness.

"I misjudged the enemy's strength, which led to the near destruction of Wuhun City. I am willing to accept the punishment."

He was almost single-handedly instigated this war, so he naturally had to apologize for any deviations.

Otherwise, people will only think he is ambitious and eager for quick success.

Qian Daoliu waved his hand and said calmly, "It's not your fault. I also didn't expect Seagod Island to join the war. If it weren't for them, the three upper sects would have been wiped out as you planned."

"Thank you, teacher!" said respectfully, bowing deeply.

He called out "teacher" willingly.

"No need to be polite."

Qian Daoliu glanced at him suspiciously, then led Qian Renxue forward.

“This is my granddaughter, you have met her before. But today is the first time you will meet her in your true identities. You can call her Sister Xue or Xue’er.”

Looking at the woman with flowing blonde hair and snow-white skin, Tianxia Wuzei cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Sister Xue."

Qian Renxue nodded, which was taken as an agreement.

After all, she's a few years older than the "No Thieves Under Heaven" generation, so she deserves to be called "sister."

At this moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke.

"Gentlemen, please hear what I have to say."

In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression was solemn as he spoke in a deep voice.

"The traitor Bibi Dong has been rescued, and the Spirit Hall is now leaderless."

"As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a family cannot be without a head for a day. It is time to elect a new pope to maintain the normal operation of the Spirit Hall."

Upon hearing this, the gazes of the worshippers and elders all fell upon Tianxia Wuzei and Qian Renxue.

Of those present, only two were most suitable to be popes.

Tianxia Wuzei became a candidate for Pope based on his own strength, while Qianren Xueyuan was a member of the Qian family and was the first successor to the Pope.

Qian Daoliu hesitated for a moment.

He originally intended for Qian Renxue to remain undercover, with Tianxia Wuzei serving as Pope. Now that Qian Renxue has returned, it seems more appropriate for her to assume the position of Pope.

The elders and the offering ministers looked at each other, torn between their own interests and the offerings.

Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue stepped forward.

"Since the little thief's brother is a candidate for pope, it would be most appropriate for him to become pope."

"Xue'er, you..."

Qian Daoliu knew that Qian Renxue also wanted to become the Pope and prove that she could do better than Bibi Dong.

That's why she chose to infiltrate the Heavenly Dou Empire, intending to reclaim the Pope's throne after her mission was accomplished.

Qian Renxue shook her head, her golden eyes filled with determination.

"That madwoman is still alive, and she will probably do her best to complete the Rakshasa God's test next."

"I have delayed for too long, and it is time for me to take the angelic test."

"If she becomes a god, even her grandfather might not be able to stop her."

She had to be wary of Bibi Dong's threats.

Qian Daoliu was also very clear about Bibi Dong's personality.

She will definitely seek revenge on the Spirit Hall for the sake of so-called love.

Finding and eliminating her now is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall must "create a god" in order to withstand the madwoman's revenge.

"Since this is your decision, then so be it."

Since Qian Daoliu trusted Tianxia Wuzei quite a bit, it didn't matter so much whether the Pope was a member of the Qian family.

The gift and mindset of the pope, known as "The World Without Thieves," are evident to all the worshippers and elders, and there is no objection to him becoming pope.

Just as Qian Daoliu was about to make the announcement, Tianxia Wuzei stepped forward.

"Wait a minute, gentlemen, I have a better suggestion."

"Oh? Tell me."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes; he had become interested.

"No Thieves Under Heaven" stepped forward and earnestly shared his insights.

"Now that the three upper sects have been convicted of colluding with fallen soul masters, if the two great empires continue to join forces with the three upper sects, we can launch a war in the name of righteousness."

"But there are too few people who truly belong to the Spirit Hall; most civilians have been absorbed by the two great empires."

"Therefore, I propose to establish a Martial Soul Empire to absorb civilians."

"Sister Xue will serve as the Emperor of the Spirit Empire, and I will serve as the Pope of the Spirit Empire."

"As for the extent of the Emperor's and Pope's power, that is for you to decide."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately realized what was happening.

Yes.

Because of the Clear Sky Sect incident, and the fact that the people from the two great empires have already concluded that the Clear Sky Sect is involved with fallen soul masters during the Soul Master Competition.

The three sects above are closely related and naturally cannot escape their connection.

If the two great empires insist on uniting with the three upper sects, wouldn't that mean they are also colluding with the fallen soul masters?

Moreover, given the formidable strength of the Spirit Hall, the two great empires will most likely join forces with the three upper sects.

At that time, it would be a natural thing for the Spirit Hall to establish a nation and absorb civilians.

The common people are unwilling to associate with the corrupt soul masters.

Furthermore, the Spirit Hall has always provided free spiritual awakening services for the children of commoner spirit masters, which has already won over the hearts of the people.

With just these two things, the common people would probably be very happy to join the Martial Soul Empire.

Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction. In this way, the highest power of the Martial Soul could still remain in the hands of the Qian family.

Moreover, the emperor only needs to be a figurehead and find a few trustworthy people to handle affairs, so Qian Renxue can focus on the Angel God Examination.

"Alright, we'll do as you say. Xue'er will serve as the Empress of the Spirit Empire, and you will serve as the Pope of the Spirit Empire. The Pope will be in charge of external affairs, and the Empress will be in charge of internal affairs; their positions are equal."

This arrangement is a win-win situation for everyone.

"Then congratulations to the little thief brother for becoming the youngest pope in the history of the Spirit Hall."

"Likewise, congratulations to Sister Xue on becoming the founding emperor of the Martial Soul Empire."

Tianxia Wuzei and Qian Renxue exchanged a smile and nodded to each other.

"However, before that, we must first eliminate the internal troubles."

At this moment, the eyes of the "No Thieves Under Heaven" turned to the three members of the Golden Generation.

It's time to deal with Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, who belong to Bibi Dong's lineage.

Although they are exceptionally talented, with ungrateful people like Bibi Dong in the past, why would the Spirit Hall continue to train them?

Having learned his lesson once, Qian Daoliu will never repeat the same mistake this time.

"If that's the case, then kill them to prevent future troubles!"
