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

Chapter 176: Dealing with the Golden Generation and Xiao Wu, then going into seclusion to cultivate and attempt to break through to the Soul Saint realm.

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

With Bibi Dong's example as a precedent, they, as members of the former lineage, naturally have the potential to be ungrateful.

With the establishment of the Martial Soul Empire, more geniuses will inevitably emerge, so there is no need to preserve the Golden Generation.

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei's expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.

Hu Liena is Bibi Dong's disciple, but Xie Yue and Yan are their disciples.

Having taught them for so many years, it's impossible for me to have no feelings for them at all.

However, they have now chosen to stand on the side of "No Thieves Under Heaven" and cannot leave the "Golden Generation" as a potential threat.

The thief keenly noticed the changes in Yue Guan and Gui Mei's expressions, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Elders, it seems you are very reluctant to part with your disciples."

In an instant, Yue Guan and Gui Mei became the focus of attention.

The two felt uneasy, but they still spoke their true thoughts.

"Xie Yue and Yan are, after all, my and Lao Gui's disciples. After so many years, it would be a lie to say that we have no feelings for each other. If possible, please spare their lives."

Upon hearing this, "No Thieves Under Heaven" jokingly retorted.

"What, do you two elders think you have the confidence to make them completely loyal to the Spirit Empire? It's not always the case that you will get a reward for your efforts. Bibi Dong is the best example of that."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei's expressions froze. They had witnessed Bibi Dong enjoying the benefits of the Spirit Hall, yet still acting like an ingrate in the end.

Moreover, they understood the temperaments of Hu Liena and the other two.

If we continue to train them, they might eventually turn their guns on the Spirit Hall.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a bitter look, then lowered their heads and said in a deep voice, "We understand. If anyone's to blame, it's them for standing on the wrong side, right?"

"No Thieves Under Heaven" nodded in satisfaction upon seeing their statement.

"Since the two elders have pleaded for them, I naturally cannot turn a blind eye."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

"Your Holiness, no, Your Holiness the Pope, are you willing to spare them?!"

The other priests and elders were also curious about the decision of "No Thieves Under Heaven" and wanted to see how the man who was about to become Pope would deal with the traitor.

There are no thieves in the world; the story gets straight to the point.

"Letting Xie Yue and Yan leave is impossible, but crippling them is the only way to spare their lives. It's acceptable to forbid them from leaving Wuhun City for the rest of their lives."

At this point, he spoke earnestly to Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

"This is my way of giving face to the two elders, and also an explanation for the resources that the Spirit Hall has invested."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, understanding that this was Tianxia Wuzei's final concession.

We must cripple them and cut off their future ability to retaliate against the Spirit Hall.

Compared to living, this punishment is utterly insignificant.

"As for Hu Liena, this disciple of Bibi Dong..."

A wicked smile curled at the corner of Tianxia Wuzei's mouth, his tone icy.

"I will cripple her but spare her life. However, I will turn her into a genius-making machine, allowing her to exert her last bit of energy to make up for the Spirit Hall's losses!"

A genius-making machine, I know, I know.

After all, the basic rule of martial soul inheritance in Douluo Continent is to prioritize inheriting higher quality martial souls.

Hu Liena's fox spirit has an innate spirit power of at least level eight, which can be considered a top-tier spirit.

The child born will likely inherit their fox spirit.

If one isn't enough, then two will do.

If two aren't enough, then ten, or a hundred!

I don't believe there are no thieves in the world. So many people have come up and not a single one has been able to perfectly inherit the fox spirit.

If it weren't for Yue Guan and Gui Mei, he would have wanted Xie Yue and Yan to become genius-making machines as well.

Both of them possess top-tier martial souls.

Upon hearing this, everyone's opinion of "No Thieves Under Heaven" improved.

Although this approach sounds inhumane, it is indeed a good way to make up for the losses of the Spirit Hall.

The resources they invest can bring geniuses to compensate for the lack of talent in the Martial Soul Empire.

Thinking of this, the elders and the worshippers turned their gazes to Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

The two of them knew exactly what they wanted them to say.

"In that case, let Xie Yue and Yan also dedicate themselves to the Spirit Empire and bring more geniuses to the Spirit Empire."

It's a stroke of luck that Hu Liena and the other two are still alive.

Letting them continue to shine and contribute is perhaps the best outcome.

The way the "No Thieves Under Heaven" approach not only gave face to Yue Guan and Gui Mei, but also did not waste the resources of the Spirit Hall.

This can be described as killing two birds with one stone. With such a mindset, he would likely be able to do a better job as Pope than Bibi Dong.

Qian Daoliu nodded and instructed, "Leave the handling of the Golden Generation to Yue Guan Guimei, and the rest of you shall rebuild Wuhun City. Announce the establishment of the Wuhun Empire soon."

"Yes, great offering!"

After giving instructions, everyone went about their own business.

The four brothers from "No Thieves Under Heaven" contributed greatly to this battle and went back to the main hall to rest.

As he passed by Ning Rongrong, the treacherous official inquired.

"Boss, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has already taken the opposing side, should we...?"

As he spoke, he wiped his neck with his hand.

"No Thief Under Heaven" rolled his eyes and punched him on the head in annoyance.

"It has nothing to do with her. That old fox Ning Fengzhi puts profit first and abandoned Ning Rongrong long ago. Ning Fengzhi is inhuman, but we should be human too."

Ning Rongrong has no chance of returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now, especially since she is still one of their team members.

Logically and emotionally, they would never do anything to harm Ning Rongrong.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's listless eyes, Tianxia Wuzei didn't go over to disturb her, knowing she needed some time to process things.

After all, the former little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School suddenly became unwanted.

With such a stark contrast, how could one not be devastated?

Just as the thief entered the offering hall, a dark figure suddenly appeared, its long legs sweeping like whips.

It turned out to be Xiao Wu; she had already woken up.

However, the offering hall was tightly closed, and she, a mere Soul Master, had no way to get out.

"Hmph, over your own strength!"

Seeing the long legs so close at hand, Tianxia Wuzei's fist struck Xiaowu's face instantly, arriving before her.

His fist sank deep into her face, blood from her nose mixed with flying bits of teeth.

He was sent flying like a cannonball, skidding for hundreds of meters across the smooth floor of the hall before losing consciousness.

"Although I am already at my limit, I am still not someone that a mere Soul Master like you can compare to."

Hearing the commotion, the guards of the temple quickly arrived.

The thief ordered the guard, "Keep a close watch on her and don't let her die."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Holy...Pope."

The guards dragged Xiao Wu away and locked her in a sturdy cage large enough to trap a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

After all, she still has value, and it's quite valuable.

"Cherish this last bit of time. Once I break through to Soul Saint, it will be your death day."

The Thief Under Heaven no longer paid any attention to Xiao Wu. If it weren't for the fact that she could be used to lure out the Azure Bull Python, she would have become a soul ring or soul bone long ago.

Immediately afterwards, he led the three traitors back to their dormitory.

As soon as I got back to the dorm, the shifty-eyed guy couldn't wait to ask me anything.

"Boss, boss, why is it that besides providing soul power, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill doesn't do anything else for us?"

The three of them had some understanding of spirit fusion techniques.

Therefore, I am very puzzled by this.

After pondering for a long time, "No Thieves Under Heaven" shared his guess.

"Perhaps it's because you haven't reached the Soul Saint level, and the mechs weren't entirely summoned by you, which is why the control is concentrated in my hands."

"Once you reach the Soul Saint level and can summon mechs to perform Soul Fusion Techniques, all your doubts will be resolved. So, young men, cultivate diligently!"

Faced with this explanation, the three traitors accepted it.

Because they couldn't think of a better explanation.

Without relaxing at all, he immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began his meditation practice.

Seeing this, Tianxia Wuzei nodded in satisfaction and let the three of them absorb the soul bone from Tang Hao to increase their soul power.

He then took out the inner cores of the ten Fiery Sun Serpents and the reverse scale of the Burning Sky Crimson Flame Dragon from his soul tool, preparing to absorb them.

"The most important thing right now is to break through to the Soul Saint level. Try not to fall too far behind me."

Having said that, Tianxia Wuzei began absorbing the inner core and the reverse scale.

The three traitors stared blankly at the absorbed "World Without Thieves," a complex emotion flashing in their eyes.

But the complex emotions vanished in an instant. The three of them exchanged glances and nodded emphatically in unison.

He immediately began absorbing soul bones to increase his soul power, striving to break through to the Soul Saint realm as soon as possible!

Soon after, news of the great battle fought by the Spirit Hall spread throughout the continent, and at the same time, the Spirit Hall announced the establishment of the Spirit Empire.

This news caused an uproar across the entire mainland!
