In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 338 The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall is in Action, Target—The Rat Clan (Part 2)

This is the ancestral land of the Clear Sky Sect. Ever since they were bullied by the Spirit Hall and reduced from the disciples of Clear Sky to a bunch of "rats", they have retreated to this mountain in disgrace.

Inside a grand hall that wasn't particularly luxurious, a group of high-ranking members of the Haotian Sect, including Tang Xiao, took their seats. Outside the hall, a stunningly beautiful woman in magnificent palace attire, exuding unparalleled nobility, gracefully walked in.

"Big brother, uncle, and all the other uncles..."

"It's Yuehua who's back."

Tang Xiao, the sect leader of Haotian Sect, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up when he saw her.

"Please sit down."

"Um."

Then, Tang Xiao looked at his younger sister, who was all alone away from home, with a touch of heartache in his eyes. After offering a few words of comfort, he got down to business.

"Yuehua, you've returned in person this time. Has something major happened in the outside world? What's the latest on that Holy Son 'Li Ming' from the Spirit Hall who suddenly appeared? Also... the results of the Sect Competition should be out by now, right? How did it go?"

"Big brother, don't worry, I'll explain it to you one by one."

Tang Yuehua paused.

It turned out that ever since the news of "Li Ming, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall" first appeared along with Tang Hao becoming a fallen soul master, she had recorded the situation on paper. In the end, she took the paper and traveled by carriage from Heaven Dou City to this secluded place of the Clear Sky Sect, bringing with her the news that the Spirit Hall was going to organize a re-election of the seven major sects.

Regarding the news that Tang Hao had become a Fallen Soul Master, neither Tang Yuehua nor Tang Xiao, except for some elders and disciples in the Clear Sky Sect who had always had a bad impression of Tang Hao or even harbored resentment towards him, basically did not believe it. They thought that the Spirit Hall was deliberately stirring up trouble.

Well, perhaps the reason is that the Haotian Sect is too isolated to send disciples into the world to investigate, and Tang Yuehua, the only one outside... didn't even have time to investigate. Perhaps it's also because she instinctively didn't want to explore.

Regardless, in the eyes of the world, the fact that Tang Hao is a fallen soul master has been established, and it's no use for these rats not to believe it.

Next, there was the matter of the re-election of the seven major sects. Tang Xiao and the others had anticipated this situation. Although they were angry, they were powerless to do anything about it and could only wait on the hill for Tang Yuehua to send new information.

Tang Yuehua then surveyed the assembled high-ranking members of the Haotian Sect in the main hall and began to speak in detail.

"In the sect competition, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, Li Ming, first sparred with Wang Zhao, the Hall Master of the Dragon King Hall... In this way, the seven sects that were finally selected were, in order, the Dragon King Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Elephant Armor School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, the Holy Dragon School, the Black Tiger School, and the Wind Sword School."

"..."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has actually declined, huh? And there's more..."

"The Elephant Armor Clan. Elephant and armor, what a formidable clan! And what a formidable Armored Rhinoceros Douluo, Niu Gao!"

After listening to Tang Yuehua's account, Tang Xiao clenched his fists, his eyes constantly shifting, while the elders' expressions also changed.

Finally, one of the hot-tempered elders couldn't hold back any longer and exploded.

"snort!"

He suddenly smashed the armrest of the chair, his eyes bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.

"A mere servant has now become a Title Douluo, while I am still stuck at the level of a Quasi-Title Douluo at level 90, unable to break through!"

It turns out that over the years, the Spirit Hall has often sent people to investigate the Clear Sky Sect to see if anyone has made a breakthrough, with a particular focus on the Clear Sky Sect elders.

Therefore, even though the Spirit Hall has promoted the use of spirit rings and inner cores in recent years, the Clear Sky Sect could have easily broken through by simply relying on Tang Yuehua, who was away, to purchase some high-level spirit rings and inner cores. This would not have violated the agreement that "no one is allowed to go out to hunt spirit beasts for spirit rings." However, the Spirit Hall cleverly issued a decree immediately prohibiting Clear Sky Sect members from purchasing or using spirit rings and inner cores. If this was discovered, it would be considered that the Clear Sky Sect had the intention to make a comeback...

That year, the group of hammer-wielding men were once again in a state of bloodshot eyes and heavy breathing.

However, given how vast the continent is, it's still possible for Tang Yuehua and the Haotian Sect to secretly collect a batch of soul ring cores, as long as they keep them quietly without consuming them.

Indeed, after some discussion, Tang Xiao and the elders of the Clear Sky Sect decided that all the Clear Sky Sect disciples who had reached the bottleneck in their cultivation and were only missing one more soul ring to break through, including several elders at the level of quasi-title Douluo, should always carry a soul ring inner core that could be used to break through.

They only need to wait until the Clear Sky Sect has the opportunity to make a comeback in the future, then they can all take the Soul Ring Inner Core to break through. As for the period in between, they can only rely on the Soul Master cultivation theory they have learned before, that is, even without breaking through a realm, they can still accumulate Soul Power and continue to cultivate silently.

Although the cultivation speed was far slower than after breaking through a realm, it still gave these hammer-wielding men some comfort.

"alright."

Suddenly, the eldest elder, who was the oldest and most senior member of the family in the hall, spoke up.

"Let's forget about those traitors. Yuehua has brought so much news this time, let's have a proper discussion."

"That's right."

Tang Xiao nodded in agreement and continued, "First, let's talk about the Dragon King Palace Master and the Spirit Hall's Holy Son, then the Elephant Armor Sect, which currently boasts two Douluo-level experts..."

"boom!"

Just then, a loud bang came from outside the hall, and everyone inside stood up in unison.

"Enemy attack!!!"

……

Let's rewind to a quarter of an hour ago.

On a large tree outside the ancestral mountain of the Clear Sky Sect, Wang Zhao, carrying the Holy Son Token and posing as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, found a Spirit Hall spy who had previously been responsible for monitoring the Clear Sky Sect's every move. He instructed the spy to go to Heaven Dou City and bring over a dozen Spirit Hall Soul Masters with considerable strength, including Salas.

"You guys go and surround this place. You probably won't need to do anything later. Just make sure no little mouse tries to sneak out."

"Your Highness, have we consulted His Holiness the Pope about this action? After all..."

"Just listen to me, this is a secret operation. Salas, you'll lead the team, hurry up!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

...Watching Salas lead his men away, Wang Zhao turned his gaze back to the ancestral land of the Haotian Sect, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Tsk tsk."

"Last time, because my strength was still weak, it was inconvenient for me to show my face, so I stayed in Wuhun City and didn't come. This time, I finally have the chance to come and see you guys in person, so I'm going to have a good time."

As he spoke, he let out another strange laugh.

"Hehehe..."

"Don't blame me, blame that 'Ri Tian Tian' guy, he gave me the reason to come and cause trouble."
