Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 204 Qian Renxue's Hesitation

Just as a conflict was about to break out between the two sides, dozens of burly men with bulging veins stood up in the tavern, looking at them with hostile eyes.

They all wanted to enter the Killing City, and their biggest commonality was that they were all heinous criminals.

Nonsense, if you weren't a heinous criminal, why would you come to this desolate place to eat dirt? You're just desperate, so you're going to the Killing City to find some benefits, right?

So, being stared at by so many strong men would probably make most people's legs go weak, but neither of them are ordinary people.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen old rivals get together before?"

The leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School snorted coldly, "Soul Saint!"

The burly men were startled. Despite their fierce appearance, they were at most Soul Kings, with most being Soul Venerables or Soul Masters. They had no courage whatsoever when facing a Soul Saint.

"Look again, and we'll gouge your eyes out and drink your blood!"

The Soul Saint of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan was even more direct, and also pointed out that the Yellow Spring Dew was human blood.

The burly men slumped back into their seats like quails. Just then, the tavern owner, a kind-looking middle-aged man, came out and smiled:

"Ah, distinguished guests from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, what brings you here?"

The two groups found a few tables and sat down. The Soul Saint of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan complained:

"Sigh, aren't we here to see Tang Hao? He caused trouble on the continent and was hunted down by the Spirit Hall, so he hid in the City of Slaughter, which is why we were assigned by the Heaven Dou Royal Family to come and talk to him. By the way, isn't he inside the City of Slaughter right now?"

The middle-aged man nodded and smiled:

"If he were here, you'd probably be dead by now."

The Soul Saint of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School mocked:

"You still don't think before you speak."

The Soul Saint of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan retorted:

"You have a brain, but it's only good for boiling offal."

After saying that, he stood up and said:

"Since I can't see anyone else, I'd better go back soon. Staying here is making me feel uneasy."

Yu Leizhen had been here before, so all the experts of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan above the Soul Saint level knew of its existence.

The middle-aged man smiled and said:

"Won't you stay for a drink?"

"Get lost, who wants that stuff from you?"

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family members left the tavern, cursing and swearing.

The group had just walked a short distance from the tavern when suddenly, Soul Saint raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

"I asked the subordinate."

Soul Saint frowned and said:

"I have a feeling something's not right."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a golden light shot out at a speed he couldn't react to, piercing his chest and pinning him to the ground in terror!

Upon seeing the sudden death of their elder brother, the Soul Saint, everyone was stunned for a second. Before they could even scream and run away, they were instantly killed.

Having changed his clothes and donned a veil, Chrysanthemum Douluo emerged, looking at the last survivor—a Soul King lying on the ground, terrified and wetting himself—and sneered:

"You bunch of scum, you dare to cause trouble for Lord Tang Hao? Go back and tell Yu Leizhen to come here himself next time; Lord Tang Hao will take his life!"

After saying that, Chrysanthemum Douluo disappeared, and the Soul King screamed in despair as he scrambled away.

After Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo who was responsible for intercepting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School met up, they quickly disappeared into the vicinity.

. . . . . .

Yu Leizhen, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair, shattering it with a loud crack, and stood up angrily.

"Tang Hao, this is outrageous!!"

Below, Contra spoke in a deep voice:

"Clan leader, Tang Hao's actions are undoubtedly a declaration of war against us. I suggest we go to the Clear Sky Sect and demand an explanation!"

An elderly man nearby countered with a question:

"What's the point of seeking an explanation from the Clear Sky Sect? They've been in seclusion for years and have long since severed ties with Tang Hao. If you go to them, aren't you afraid they'll beat you up?"

Contra frowned and said:

"But Tang Hao is, after all, from the Clear Sky Sect. Now that he's going to war with the entire continent, doesn't the Clear Sky Sect intend to clean house?"

"Then why don't you go and talk to them?"

At this moment, Yu Leizhen said in a deep voice:

"That's enough!"

Everyone looked at him, and he looked at the old man and asked:

"Didn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also send people? Where are their people? Let's go find out. If they're stronger, and if they're like us, then let them be the first to stick their necks out!"

. . . . . .

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Fengzhi looked at the Sword Douluo and Ghost Douluo on either side with a gloomy expression, and said in a deep voice:

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, what do you think?"

A Soul Saint and two Soul Emperors are not commonplace for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Their deaths warrant a reaction, otherwise, their followers will lose heart.

But the question remains: who did it?

Tang Hao?

They didn't think so when they suspected the Spirit Hall, but the problem was that even with evidence, turning against the Spirit Hall was not an easy thing, let alone without evidence.

Bone Douluo, being outspoken, sneered:

"I think there's a 60-70% chance that the Spirit Hall orchestrated this whole thing. They're using the pretext of hunting down Tang Hao to weaken us; their true intentions are obvious!"

Sword Douluo said in a deep voice:

"I think so too. But firstly, we have no evidence, and secondly, our strength is far inferior to that of the Spirit Hall."

"Are we just going to sit here and watch the Spirit Hall weaken us? We've lost one Soul Saint and two Soul Emperors. Are they going to plot against us next?"

Ning Fengzhi raised his hand to interrupt their argument and said in a deep voice:

"Go and invite Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong over; we need to discuss something important."

. . . . . .

Wuhun Temple.

Qian Renxue and Hu Liena tested each other for several days, but neither of them got the information they wanted.

Today, Qian Renxue received instructions from Bibi Dong to continue her infiltration and prepare to seize the throne at any time.

Qian Renxue knew what this meant; Bibi Dong couldn't sit still any longer and was about to launch a full-scale war!

Through Qian Daoliu, she roughly guessed Bibi Dong's plan to weaken the Heaven Dou Empire and other sects, which is why she was anxious.

If she really wants to go against Bibi Dong, or even if, to put it another way, she wants to secure a peaceful old age for herself and her grandfather Qian Daoliu after Bibi Dong's schemes succeed, she must demonstrate enough value to make Bibi Dong hesitate to act against her.

Her biggest bargaining chip right now is undoubtedly the power within the Heaven Dou Empire, which is her other alias, Xue Qinghe.

However, she could only watch helplessly as Xue Qinghe's power was weakened and the strength of the Heavenly Dou Empire was diminished by Bibi Dong. Not only was she powerless to do anything about it, but she also had to help Bibi Dong.

She always felt like she was stumbling along a wooden bridge, with an unfathomable abyss below, where one wrong step would lead to utter ruin.

Even if you don't take a single wrong step, the other side of the bridge is pitch black.

With a heavy heart, she left the Spirit Hall again and arrived at a large city, intending to rest there for the night before heading back to the Heaven Dou Royal Family the next day. She would then wait for the fake Xue Qinghe to return and then appear as Xue Qinghe again.

But that very night, just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly opened her eyes, abruptly jumped out of bed, looked at the figure by the window, and said warily:

"Who?!"
