The Strongest All-Round Support in Douluo Continent

The main hall level Spirit Hall is located in the kingdom's capital city, as well as some important cities. For example, the Barak Kingdom has two main Spirit Halls: one in the capital city and the other in Soto City.

Needless to say, the Empire's is even more so, with almost every province having a main hall-level Martial Soul Hall. So, apart from the lowest-level branch halls, the main halls are the most numerous.

Duan Yufan and his group spent three days organizing and arranging personnel for each branch hall.

There are over a hundred Soul Kings to Soul Saints, and these are the top-tier mid-level combatants. The Spirit Hall really couldn't provide so many people.

"Your Holiness, Your Highness, Holy Son, Holy Daughter, the members assigned to the oversight department have assembled in the plaza," Chrysanthemum Douluo reported to the three upon arriving at the Papal Palace.

"Yes, Yue Guan, go and call Elder Firebird and Elder Ghost Leopard. Tell them that you will be escorting the Holy Son and Holy Daughter to the Martial Soul Temples of the two empires."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo ran back to the Elder Hall, where Elders Firebird and Ghost Leopard both supported Pope Bibi Dong.

Elder Firebird, whose martial soul is the Flaming Eagle, is a level 93 Power Attack type Title Douluo and the only female elder in the Elder Hall.

Elder Ghost Leopard, whose martial soul is the Black-Striped Ghost Leopard, is a level 93 agility-attack type titled Douluo. He is a quiet and reserved person, similar in personality to Ghost Douluo.

"Xiao Fan, Nana, this is the first operation of the Surveillance Department. You two will split up temporarily and each lead a team to the Imperial City of the Empire. This operation will also make you famous." Bibi Dong said to Duan Yu Fan and Nana after Chrysanthemum Douluo left.

"Yes, teacher."

Duan Yufan asked Hu Liena to choose a temple, and Hu Liena chose to go to the Star Luo City Temple because she had been there once before and was familiar with it.

Therefore, the only option left for Duan Yufan was to go to the Holy Temple of Heaven Dou City.

After discussing the plan, they followed Bibi Dong to the front of the Spirit Hall square. There were already hundreds of members who were carrying out the investigation plan and were also the first batch of members of the Supervision Department.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope, Your Highness the Son, Your Highness the Holy Maiden."

Bibi Dong looked at the hundreds of members and said calmly, "I'm sure you've all read the mission instructions, the rules, and the Martial Soul Branch Hall you'll be heading to."

"This is the first operation since the establishment of the Supervision Department. You are also among the first batch of members of the Supervision Department. I hope you can be impartial and selfless in carrying out the mission. If I find out that you have accepted bribes, the consequences will be more severe than for others. Even death will be a luxury. Do you understand?"

"I will obey His Holiness the Pope's orders!"

"The mission will begin tomorrow morning. Everyone, gather here, form your teams, and then disband."

After the meeting was dismissed, Chrysanthemum Douluo led Elders Firebird and Ghost Leopard to the gate of the Spirit Hall.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."

"Elder Firebird, you will accompany the Holy Maiden to the Star Luo City Temple."

"Elder Ghost Leopard, you will follow the Holy Son to the Heavenly Dou City Temple."

When Bibi Dong saw Firebird Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo arrive, she spoke to them separately.

Firebird Douluo wore a light yellow tight-fitting leather outfit. He was tall and had a relatively perfect proportion. His light red hair reached his shoulders, the same hairstyle as Hu Liena. There was an elder's mark and a firebird pattern on his clothes near his heart.

Ghost Leopard Douluo was a very ordinary middle-aged man, wearing simple purple-black armor and a rather thin build. He also had the mark of an elder and a black leopard head pattern on his heart.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope," the two replied simultaneously.

By the time everything was assigned, it was almost 6 PM. The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, Duan Yufan and Hu Liena arrived at the main gate of the Spirit Hall.

By 8:00 AM, everyone had assembled. As Duan Yufan had instructed, they were divided into groups of three, with one Soul Emperor and two Soul Kings assigned to each temple, and so on. For the Temple level, there was one Title Douluo and two Soul Saints.

However, Duan Yufan did not want the remaining two Soul Saints, and instead let Ghost Leopard Douluo go with him alone. Therefore, Duan Yufan gave the two Soul Saints to Hu Liena.

Hu Liena's team consists of one Title Douluo and four Soul Saints.

"Everyone, form your own groups. The investigation plan will officially begin at noon three days from now. Before that, once you reach the Spirit Hall branch, do not reveal anything. Now, let's officially set off."

Seeing that everyone already understood, Bibi Dong gave them one last explanation.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

"Nana, be careful in everything you do when you go to Xingluo City."

"Xiao Fan, you too, I'll miss you."

"Me too."

After most of the people had left, Duan Yufan and Hu Liena hugged and said goodbye to each other.

Chapter 126 A Different Qian Renxue

After bidding farewell to Bibi Dong and Hu Liena, Duan Yufan headed towards the east gate. He didn't know how long this investigation would take, but fortunately Hu Liena wasn't the clingy type.

Since Duan Yufan didn't ask for two Soul Saints, he and Ghost Leopard Douluo rode in a carriage all the way east towards Heaven Dou City.

"Elder Ghost Leopard, I still don't know your surname." Sitting in the carriage, Duan Yufan looked at the taciturn Ghost Leopard Douluo and couldn't help but ask him casually.

"Your Highness, my name is Ghost Leopard. I was an orphan from a young age and was brought back to Spirit City by the Spirit Hall. After awakening the Black-Striped Ghost Leopard Spirit, I changed my name to Ghost Leopard, and even my title is Ghost Leopard." Ghost Leopard Douluo remained calm and answered indifferently.

This is also why Bibi Dong assigned Ghost Leopard Douluo to Duan Yufan. He has a clean background and has always been alone. In fact, most of the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall are alone and have no relatives. Bibi Dong is one of them, as are Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

"Hmm, how long has Elder Ghost Leopard been a Title Douluo?" Duan Yufan asked casually.

"It's been over twenty years, and he's still only level 93. His potential has reached its limit. As for the Holy Son, he'll probably catch up with us in a few years." Ghost Leopard Douluo praised Duan Yu Fan's talent in his last sentence.

"Not at all, the Spirit Hall is currently under the protection of Elder Ghost Leopard and the other elders," Duan Yu Fan replied with a smile.

In fact, Duan Yufan himself was not sure how long it would take to reach the level 90 Title Douluo. At present, his level 83 soul power was increasing very slowly every day, even with the blessing of Tai Chi Intent. Unless he had some kind of encounter or completed the Divine Trial to continue absorbing the God-given soul ring.

Duan Yufan gained a level of soul power just a few days after returning from the Star Dou Forest, because he absorbed the right arm soul bone of the Titan Giant Ape and gained two skills at the same time.

Temptation of Sin: This is equivalent to a passive skill. The more negative emotions the enemy has, the higher the attack will be, up to a maximum increase of 50%.

Temptation Hand: A control technique that allows the user to grab enemies within a ten-meter radius. Enemies three realms below the user's level can even be suffocated to death.

It's possible that because Duan Yufan absorbed the Titan Giant Ape soul ring and attached it to the Savior Martial Soul, even the soul bone skill belongs to the Savior's ability, just like the Azure Bull Python sacrificed itself to the Seraph Martial Soul, and the soul bone skill also activated the Seraph's ability.

While Duan Yufan was on his way, Qian Renxue, who was resting at the Crown Prince's residence in Tiandou City, had already received a letter from Qian Daoliu.

"Miss, a letter has arrived from the High Priest." The Serpent Spear Douluo, who had been by Qian Renxue's side, handed her a letter.

"Oh! I've only been gone a short while, how come Grandpa sent a letter so quickly?" Qian Renxue took the letter from the Serpent Spear Douluo with some surprise.

"I think it might be related to the Spirit Hall, or perhaps to His Highness the Holy Son," said the Serpent Spear Douluo with a slight smile.

"What does his business have to do with me? He's ungrateful and dared to refuse me. It would be best if he died. It must be related to some upheaval in the Spirit Hall."

Qian Renxue pretended to be indifferent, but her thoughts returned to that night, and she couldn't wait to open the envelope.

That night, after Qian Renxue revealed her feelings, she was deeply moved by what Duan Yufan said and cried for a long time in her room for the first time. After regaining her senses, she silently left Wuhun City and returned to Tiandou City, realizing that she couldn't rush things with Duan Yufan.

However, after Qian Renxue opened the envelope and read two lines, she became anxious and said angrily, "What? How come this woman is so fast? It's one thing to steal her from me, but now she's stealing him from me too. Doesn't she know we have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique? Shameless!"

The two lines of text Qian Renxue saw both said that Hu Liena was already with Duan Yufan, and even said that Duan Yufan would come to Tiandou City for a mission in a couple of days and stay for two days, urging Qian Renxue to win over Duan Yufan and try to be the first to get pregnant with Duan Yufan's child.

All I can say is that he's incredibly fierce. Qian Daoliu is extremely fierce. Having lived for so many years and possessing immense strength, his observation skills are exceptionally sharp. He noticed Hu Liena's changes in the council hall. After all, this wasn't the first time Qian Daoliu had met Hu Liena, which is why the first sentence of his letter was to urge Qian Renxue.

"Damn it, but I've already taken my clothes off, what else can I do?"

Qian Renxue thought dejectedly, still feeling somewhat ashamed when she thought about it now, wondering what kind of courage she had to do such a thing back then.

The message on the envelope contained the investigation plan. Qian Daoliu advised Qian Renxue to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Duan Yufan, and even to put aside the matter of the Crown Prince.

Qian Renxue would sometimes get angry, sometimes smile mysteriously, and sometimes lower her head and blush, her face and ears turning red.

This left the Serpent Spear Douluo, who was watching from the sidelines, completely bewildered. So, the Serpent Spear Douluo asked in confusion, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Uh, it's nothing. Grandpa just said that the Spirit Hall has a recent investigation plan. In a couple of days, His Highness the Holy Son will come to the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City to investigate the misconduct of its internal personnel, and he wants us to help him with the investigation."

Qian Renxue only told Serpent Spear Douluo a part of the contents on the back of the envelope, and then quickly put the envelope away.

"I see. So you're only investigating the Heaven Dou City Temple, and not the other cities in the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Serpent Spear Douluo asked, puzzled, but he felt something was off. It was just some ordinary explanation, so why did the young lady make so many expressions? But since Qian Renxue didn't say anything, Serpent Spear Douluo naturally didn't ask.

"Of course not, this is an operation by the Spirit Hall across the entire continent, including cities large and small."

"Elder Serpent Spear, do you think there are any members of the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City who have a bad reputation?"

Qian Renxue explained, and then asked about the Serpent Spear Douluo.

"Yes, I haven't heard anything bad about it in recent years. There might have been some before, during Salas's time in charge, but after His Holiness the Pope replaced him with Bishop Škoda, those rumors have disappeared."

When Serpent Spear Douluo heard Qian Renxue's question, he thought for a while and then answered it.

"Oh, this is troublesome. What reason do I have to approach him? How can he be so selfless and govern so well that no one can find fault with him?" Qian Renxue felt annoyed at this moment, thinking about this Bishop Skoda.

"Young Miss, what did you say?" Serpent Spear Douluo didn't hear Qian Renxue's mutterings clearly and asked.

"Nothing, Elder Serpent Spear, when will the Holy Son and the others arrive?" Qian Renxue continued to ask, her intentions unclear.

"Well, if we're coming by carriage, we should arrive by this time tomorrow if we leave this morning, but it depends on the carriage's speed," Serpent Spear Douluo estimated before replying to Qian Renxue.

"Alright, tomorrow at noon, go and lie in ambush a few miles outside the city. Once you spot their carriage, come back and report to me immediately," Qian Renxue instructed the Serpent Spear Douluo.

"Yes, Miss." Although Serpent Spear Douluo was puzzled as to why Qian Renxue did this, he still complied.

Seeing that Qian Renxue was no longer speaking, Serpent Spear Douluo left the room and went back to rest.

Alone in her room, Qian Renxue thought to herself, encouraging herself, "If that fox can do it, so can I."

After a day's journey, Duan Yufan asked the coachman at noon the next day, "Master, how much longer until we reach Tiandou City?"

"Your Highness, we are about to enter the territory of Heaven Dou City. Judging from this speed, we should arrive around four o'clock in the afternoon."

The coachman was an ordinary person without soul power, an honest middle-aged man. Given Duan Yufan's reputation in Wuhun City, the coachman also knew Duan Yufan.

“Master, there’s no need to rush. We’re not in a hurry either. You’ve been driving the carriage all day and only had a short rest at night.”

Duan Yufan said to the coachman with concern that Ghost Leopard Douluo had traveled for a while in the middle of the night last night, allowing the coachman to rest for a bit. However, just as dawn was breaking, the coachman insisted on driving the carriage himself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I'm fine. I've been a coachman my whole life, I'm used to it. Just sit tight, Your Majesty, here we go." The coachman continued driving the carriage.

"Elder Ghost Leopard, why don't you sit next to the coachman and help him out?"

Duan Yufan knew that people like this were used to doing something, and if you asked them to stop and rest, they would feel empty and uneasy. So he stopped insisting on the driver and just asked Ghost Leopard Douluo to help the driver get on the road.

“Yes, Holy Son.” Ghost Leopard Douluo sat down next to the coachman.

"Sir, I can do it myself. Please go inside and have a seat."

"It's okay. The view from inside the car isn't very good. I'll get out and sit for a while to see if there's any scenery along the way."

Duan Yufan overheard the conversation between Elder Ghost Leopard and the coachman, and was surprised that even the taciturn Ghost Leopard Douluo would make excuses.

After having lunch with Emperor Xueye in the Heaven Dou City Imperial Palace, Qian Renxue returned to the Crown Prince's residence, which was not far from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

"Serpent Spear Douluo, go!" Qian Renxue's first words upon returning to the Crown Prince's residence were to order Serpent Spear Douluo to take action, as they had discussed the matter yesterday.
