Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 304 - When it comes to bribery, I'm a professional!

"Alright, I'll go and notify all the offerings to come back right away."

As he spoke, the High Priest slowly stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and added, "I'm only responsible for calling them back. Whether they listen to you or not is not up to me!"

"Of course," Qian Lingyun nodded slightly, then looked at the third and fourth elders and asked curiously, "I wonder if you two elders will support me?"

"Me?" The Soul-Slaying Douluo glanced at Qian Lingyun, then at his younger brother beside him, pondered for a moment, and chuckled, "I'm not interested in Zhongli Wu. If you can bring my eldest niece over, then I have no objection!"

My dear niece! Oh! Hu Mei! Then it's alright!

Qian Lingyun nodded with a smile and then said no more.

Everyone in the Holy Spirit Cult knows that Hu Mei and Qian Lingyun are in cahoots!

The requirement for Soul Slayer is basically not a requirement at all.

"And what about you, the Four Elders?" Qian Lingyun turned around and asked the Soul Extinction Douluo.

"Me?!" The Soul-Destroying Douluo, with his arms propped up and legs crossed, said mockingly, "I naturally decide based on my mood!"

"I must say...you really are something else, aren't you?"

Qian Lingyun looked at the amusing person with a complicated expression, thought for a moment, and then sat back down.

About fifteen minutes later, the High Priest lazily walked in from outside. He looked at Qian Lingyun, remained silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Why are you still here?"

Soul Slayer Douluo/Soul Destroyer Douluo: "?"

"Then I'll leave!?"

"Don't go," the High Priest shook his head, adding, "Run!"

Most of the worshippers are not exactly docile, so waiting for the worshippers to gather is not an easy task.

Even at noon on the third day, there were still empty chairs in the offering hall.

This unusual behavior from the Offering Hall naturally caught Zhongli Wu's attention. After pondering for a long time, he sent someone to summon Feng Ling, who was cultivating, and instructed her:

"Xiao Feng, the Offering Hall just had a meeting three months ago, but now, after such a short time, they've gathered again. Go and see what's going on!"

"Hmm!" Feng Ling didn't say anything more, just nodded and turned to leave.

Just then, Zhongli Wu called out to Feng Ling again. Feng Ling's delicate body trembled, thinking that Zhongli Wu had discovered something extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, Zhongli Wu simply said, "You must have had a hard time during my six months of seclusion!"

"It's not hard work, it's just my job!"

After speaking, Feng Ling let out a sigh of relief and walked out of Zhongli Wu's room alone.

Fortunately, Zhongli Wu had been in seclusion for most of the past six months, and she handled most of the affairs of the Holy Spirit Sect herself.

Otherwise, Qian Lingyun's numerous misdeeds at each branch would have already reached Zhongli Wu's ears.

Inside the offering hall, a group of worshippers sat in a circle around the table, among them even a couple of elders who seemed to thrive on chaos.

"Holy Maiden, why did you send the High Priest to summon us back?"

The speaker was a stout old man who looked to be in his early seventies.

At this moment, he was looking at Qian Lingyun with some displeasure and complaining loudly.

He is the twelfth Abomination Douluo in the Hall of Offerings, with a cultivation level of ninety-one.

The reason I'm mentioning him now is because in about five minutes, he will become Qian Lingyun's most loyal supporter...

"Alright, everyone quiet down!" The Grand Master tapped the table lightly, and his low shout was enough to silence everyone present.

And yesterday, he received some shocking news…

"Tsk, I must say, as expected of the Grand Elder, his level 97 strength is arguably the strongest in the Hall of Elders!" The Abomination Douluo pursed his lips and sighed in a low voice, "Level 97, a realm I can never reach in my lifetime!"

"No, no, no."

The senior priest continued, "I am now the second senior priest. Just yesterday, I was demoted from senior to second senior priest!" This news was clearly unacceptable.

"Are you kidding me? What happened?"

Nearly half of the worshippers couldn't help but sit up straight, staring at the Heavenly Punishment Douluo with an incredulous look.

Especially the Soul Extinction Douluo: "So, we..."

"That's right, you've each dropped to 4th and 5th place," Heavenly Punishment Douluo confirmed their guess.

"Because of the addition of a powerful new member, everyone's ranking in the Hall of Worship has been moved down one place."

"How could that be...? Who joins the Hall of Worship and immediately takes over the position of the Head Worshipper?! It can't be true!"

Some people whispered among themselves, while others watched coldly.

"If you're not convinced, everyone can try to seize the throne of High Priest based on their own abilities. Anyway... I only exchanged one blow with that person before I couldn't help but admit defeat!"

Heavenly Punishment Douluo sighed leisurely, pointed to Nightmare Douluo, and introduced, "Look, this is the newly promoted Fifteenth Elder. Most of you have probably already met him, so I won't waste any more time introducing him!"

Having finished speaking, the High Priest dejectedly beckoned to Qian Lingyun, "Holy Maiden, you speak!"

Qian Lingyun picked up the conversation, nervously organizing her thoughts, "Esteemed members, the reason I invited you all here today is to ask for your help in assuming the position of sect leader ahead of schedule."

"Taking over ahead of schedule?"

As everyone pondered the meaning behind Qian Lingyun's words, they couldn't help but ask, "Holy Maiden, it sounds like... you want us to help you force the emperor to abdicate!"

Before Qian Lingyun could even open her mouth to explain, the door to the ancestral hall was opened from the outside.

Bai Yuan strode to his seat and explained to the assembled retainers, "That's right, it's a coup!"

"Besides our Hall of Offerings, others were involved in this coup! For example... me!"

A slightly hoarse female voice came from outside the door. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Feng Ling standing in the doorway.

"Even the vice leader is one of us now? That's really surprising!" Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger, looked at Feng Ling and thoughtfully stroked his chin.

"The Second Elder, the Third Elder, and the Vice Sect Leader are all at level 97. They're more than capable of dealing with a level 98 Sect Leader," Bloodthirsty Douluo estimated the strength comparison between the two sides, and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"But I hope the Supreme Leader won't get involved!"

"No way!" Raven Douluo slightly raised his head and transmitted his voice, "Without the Supreme Master's authorization, the Holy Maiden wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"

"Alright, alright, everyone quiet down!" Yuma released her powerful soul energy fluctuations, attracting everyone's attention.

With a few teeth-grinding cracking sounds, white bone armor had covered Yuma's entire body.

"Such a powerful aura... What is that?!"
