Douluo Continent: The Angel of the Dead, starting by slaying Bibi Dong!

Chapter Sixteen: Two Great Empires Drive Out the Spirit Hall!

After hearing Qian Xunling's words, Qian Renxue fell silent.

Thinking of Qian Xunling's martial spirit.

My dad told me that my second uncle's martial spirit was originally the purest six-winged angel.

On the day of awakening, just like myself, I activated the angel statue.

However, for some unknown reason, on the day he awakened his martial soul, he disappeared from the Angel Temple under the watchful eyes of everyone.

When he returned twenty years later, Qian Renxue couldn't help but think of the changes in Qianxun's spirit.

From the brightest angel, he transformed into the darkest death.

But he himself was still an angel of light.

Perhaps I'm just not suited to follow in my second uncle's footsteps.

But the strongest person in the Spirit Hall is Second Uncle. Without Second Uncle's guidance, how can I quickly become stronger?

Becoming stronger was something Qian Renxue might not have cared about before.

But ever since he became Pope and came into contact with the people of the two great empires and the three upper sects...

Qian Renxue knew that although they treated her with utmost respect, deep down they didn't really respect her as a nine-year-old pope.

If it weren't for my second uncle, and if it weren't for the Spirit Hall, they probably wouldn't even give me a second glance.

Qian Renxue craved power, and longed for them to truly fear her.

Instead of hiding under his second uncle's arm.

Seeing Qian Renxue's worry, Qian Xunling reached out and patted her head.

"Don't worry, your second uncle will help you improve your strength as soon as possible."

"Let's go back to the Temple of Angels; we might find something worthwhile."

Qian Xunling sighed as she looked at Qian Renxue.

When the Martial Soul Empire was established, Qian Xunling originally wanted Qian Renxue to become the empress.

Chihiro had always had a feeling in her heart.

That means I am not a person of this world, and I will leave one day.

Therefore, Qian Xunling wanted Qian Renxue to be the Pope of the Spirit Hall and the Emperor of the Spirit Empire.

After all, he didn't know when he would leave.

But now it seems that I was narrow-minded.

That's too hasty.

Qian Renxue is still young; she needs time.

But I still have time.

In the limited time he had left, he could completely unify the continent and wait for Qian Renxue to take over the entire continent he had conquered for her.

Qian Renxue, on the other hand, can take advantage of this time to grow rapidly.

Seeing Qian Renxue's thirst for power, Qian Xunling had no choice but to change her strategy.

The group returned to Wuhun City in a grand procession.

News of the destruction of the entire Haotian Sect, which had become one of the three major sects, spread from the Spirit Hall.

The entire continent was once again in an uproar.

In an instant, the prestige of the Spirit Hall reached its peak.

Following Qian Xunling's advice, Qian Renxue went to the Angel Temple and, under Qian Daoliu's arrangement, had the opportunity to undergo the Nine Trials of the Angels ahead of schedule.

Thinking back to his past life, he wasted twenty years of his youth because of Qian Renxue's undercover work, yet his soul power remained stuck at the Soul Saint level...

He was granted level 20 soul power by the gods, but unfortunately, he only barely became a god during Tang San's time.

She could have become a god much earlier, but she was delayed by the Spirit Hall.

However, this time Qian Renxue has her own way.

After Qian Renxue went into seclusion, Qian Xunling took over the administration of the entire Spirit Hall.

All strategies of the Spirit Hall have been relaxed.

The Spirit Hall recruits a large number of ordinary Soul Masters and those without any faction. Even if you previously joined a faction, as long as you sincerely join the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall will accept you.

In just over a month, the number of Soul Masters in the Spirit Hall has surged again.

The total number has increased from 25,000 to nearly 30,000.

It should be noted that the total number of active Soul Masters in Douyi is only 50,000. The combined number of the three upper sects, other sects, and the two great empires is not even as many as that of the Spirit Hall alone.

After the incident at Haotian Sect, the Star Luo Emperor looked terrified.

No one expected that Qian Xunling would withstand the military threat of two great empires and forcibly destroy the Haotian Sect.

After being defeated by Qian Xunling's single sword strike, he became completely obedient.

However, upon realizing that the Spirit Hall was recruiting a large number of Spirit Masters, the Star Luo Empire, which was experiencing a massive loss of Spirit Masters, immediately became uneasy.

Star Luo Empire.

"No, Your Majesty cannot continue to allow the Spirit Hall to recruit Spirit Masters like this."

"A large number of Soul Masters from my Star Luo Empire have left, and the total number is no more than ten thousand."

"Your Majesty, if this continues, all the soul masters of my Star Luo Empire will go to the Spirit Hall. Given the Spirit Hall's prestige among the common people, even ordinary soul masters will choose the Spirit Hall first. The Spirit Hall is destroying the foundation of my Star Luo Empire."

"Your Majesty, several noble families in Star Luo City have also defected to the Spirit Hall. If this continues, the mainstay of our Star Luo Empire will be lost."

Starry Palace.

Hearing the advice of the ministers beneath him, Emperor Xingluo's brows twitched violently.

Since Qian Renxue succeeded as Pope and Qian Xunling became the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall has developed very rapidly.

If this continues, the foundation of the Star Luo Empire will be hollowed out.

"What about a snowy night?"

"What about a snowy night in the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"Has that old guy gone back to the Heavenly Dou Empire?"

One of the officials immediately stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, ever since Xue Ye was captured by the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall has demanded 100 million gold soul coins from the Heaven Dou Empire before they will release him."

"The Heaven Dou Empire seems unwilling to spend so much money to save people. At present, it is supporting the princes. The power struggle in the Heaven Dou Empire's court has now reached a fever pitch."

Emperor Xingluo remained silent.

"What kind of time is this? They're still fighting for the throne and engaging in internal strife... The Spirit Hall is practically hollowing out both empires. Are they all idiots?"

"Contact the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and have Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School deal with the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family as soon as possible. We can't wait any longer."

August 1, 2631 of the Douluo Calendar.

The Star Luo Emperor and Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School secretly met.

The Xingluo Conference was held in Xingluo City.

March 5th.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School forcefully intervened in the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, using its absolute prestige and strength to suppress the power struggles within the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family.

The Second Prince, Xue Qinghe, became Ning Fengzhi's apprentice.

The power struggle in the imperial court has seemingly subsided.

The following day, the Heaven Dou Empire paid 100 million gold soul coins and ceded some territory to redeem Emperor Xue Ye.

March 7th.

Xue Qinghe was made crown prince of the Tiandou Empire.

Wuhun City.

Offering Hall.

"How many troops have you recruited?"

Qian Xunling turned to look at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"By order of the Grand Elder, all male citizens of Wuhun City are to serve in the army on a mandatory basis. The current strength is 100,000, with 33,000 Soul Masters!"

During this month, Qian Xunling did not rush to push back the territory of the Spirit Hall.

Instead, it is developing the most loyal group of people in the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall Soul Masters, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Spirit City.

The Spirit Hall did not formally call upon the continent to form a Spirit Empire.

This is also why the troop strength is so small.

Qian Xunling was also aware of the secret alliance between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, I didn't pay any attention to it.

They're nothing but a bunch of clowns. Do they really think that by uniting all the military forces and soul masters on the continent, they can contend with the Spirit Hall?

A joint operation is great! It's perfect; we don't need to fight in two separate groups anymore, we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

However, to Qian Xunling's surprise, the Tian Dou Empire did not take advantage of the destruction of the Xing Luo Empire's Haotian Sect to attack the Xing Luo Empire.

However, after thinking about his recent movements, Xue Ye was captured by him, and the Heaven Dou Empire was leaderless. Even if he wanted to take action against the Star Luo Empire, it was unlikely.

Another point is that the Spirit Hall has shown too much strength and is very aggressive, which has led the two great empires to regard the Spirit Hall as the biggest threat.

Tap tap tap!

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

"A grand offering! A grand offering is no good!"

"The Star Luo Empire has expelled all the Soul Masters of my Spirit Hall from its territory!"

"High Priest, the Heaven Dou Empire... the Heaven Dou Empire, citing non-compliance with the law, has expelled all members of the Spirit Hall from the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"Everyone," Qian Xunling said, a slow smile curving her lips.

"Finally... finally it's here."

"Originally, there wasn't a suitable reason to establish a Martial Soul Empire. Now that you've handed the reason and the initiative to your doorstep, you can't blame me!"
