Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

A black spirit ring manifested on the grass sword, and an invisible wave spread out, freezing time wherever it passed, except for Tian Hao who remained unaffected.

Without delay, he roughly drew the grass sword from Xueye's chest and charged forward, using the effect of time freezing to sever the royal elder's arm and neck with a single strike, thus rescuing Tang Yuehua.

This was still not the end of it. He used his immense mental power to knock him unconscious and then stored him in his spiritual sea for protection, lest he be used by that ruthless father-in-law again.

At the same time, Tang Zhen unleashed his soul power again, exhausting and breaking the power that had frozen time. He turned to look at Tian Hao, his heart filled with shock, but his killing intent intensified.

He really didn't expect that the little madman would have such a strange soul skill. Including the space-type one from before, there were now two soul skills that could affect him.

It means that the opponent's soul power level is not high. If they were at the same level, I would definitely be killed instantly.

Thinking about this, he felt a pang of regret; perhaps he had made the wrong choice in choosing Xueye.

Leaving aside Tang Zhen's shock and regret, Chen Xin took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Tian Hao, meeting Tang Zhen's gaze. At the same time, he was inwardly impressed by his junior brother's quick thinking.

Their Seven Kill Sword lineage inherits a realm described as the unity of man and sword, but the junior brother goes a step further and proposes the concept of the unity of heaven and man, merging himself with the entire world.

Although I am only at the beginner level and cannot improve my strength with it, I can indirectly achieve invisibility. Previously, I used the unity of man and nature to integrate myself with the surrounding environment, which is more perfect than the simple optical invisibility that manipulates light elements.

Even though Gu Rong and the others didn't realize it, they had just made a big show of themselves with this move, and the feeling was incredibly satisfying.

"You've finally appeared, Chenxin!"

Calming himself down, Tang Zhen's gaze fell on Chen Xin, his chilling killing intent making no attempt to conceal it.

Today, worldly desires must perish!

"I have no interest in defeated opponents. The only one I can look forward to from your Haotian Sect right now is Haotian Douluo Tang Chen. You are no longer qualified to be my opponent."

Chen Xin spoke calmly, without the slightest emotional fluctuation; Tang Zhen alone did not give him any sense of anticipation.

"you……"

Tang Zhen was furious, but before he could say anything, Chen Xin interrupted him.

"Your Holiness, our business is finished. It's your turn now."

Chen Xin spoke loudly, causing everyone's attention to turn towards Qian Xunji. Even the furious Tang Zhen turned to look at Qian Xunji, secretly sighing that the two sides had joined forces.

Ning Fengzhi and the others also felt a chill. Although they had guessed it before, they still felt very uneasy when it actually came to this.

Things have taken the worst possible turn, and we have no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

"I am not here today to attend the wedding banquet and coronation ceremony of the Heaven Dou Emperor, but to represent the Soul Master community in expelling the Clear Sky Sect from the list. From now on, the Clear Sky Sect and its affiliated forces shall not engage in any business related to Soul Masters, nor shall they participate in any Soul Master Competition."

Qian Xunji stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. His voice, amplified by his soul power, resounded throughout the entire New Heaven Dou City, causing people outside the palace to turn and look in his direction.

"What qualifications does your Spirit Hall have to represent the entire Soul Master world?"

Before Tang Zhen could speak, Tang Hao behind him flew into a rage.

He had never had a good impression of the Spirit Hall. After killing that bishop last time, the Spirit Hall not only had an excuse to attack the Clear Sky Sect, but also killed the Grand Elder. He and his brother were chased like stray dogs and finally escaped to the vast far north to shake off their pursuers.

Most importantly, it was the Spirit Hall that deceived Ah Yin and made her leave them back then through despicable means.

He kept all of this in mind, determined to make the Spirit Hall pay a hundredfold or even ten thousandfold one day.

"The Spirit Hall can represent our Elephant Armor Sect in this incident!"

At this moment, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect stood up and expressed his opinion.

"In this incident, our Wind Sword Sect shares the same opinion as the Spirit Hall!"

The sect leader of the Wind Sword Sect also stood up to express his opinion, and then many other sects followed suit. In particular, the lower four sects among the seven major sects supported the Spirit Hall's decision to remove the Clear Sky Sect from the spirit master world.

First, representatives from the Soul Master sects and families of the Star Luo Empire expressed their opinions, and then representatives from the sects and academies within the four kingdoms of the Heaven Dou Empire also stood up to express their opinions, clearly indicating that they had all secretly agreed to this beforehand.

"As the Crown Prince of Xingluo, I represent the Xingluo royal family in supporting the Spirit Hall's decision. The Clear Sky Sect, such a cancer, should not remain in the world of spirit masters."

Finally, the Crown Prince of Xingluo stood up and made a statement, representing the entire Xingluo Empire.

The Haotian Sect did have a close relationship with their Star Luo Empire in the past, but since they have chosen the Tian Dou Empire's side and even ruthlessly schemed against them, there's nothing more to say.

This scene left Tang Hao and Tang Xiao stunned. They couldn't understand why so many sects, families, and even the Star Luo Empire would stand on the side of the Spirit Hall.

Tang Zhen's expression changed slightly, and he vaguely guessed something, but how could that be?

Impossible. They could never have obtained any evidence. Suspicion alone proves nothing.

"Play the recording simultaneously."

Qian Xunji gave the order, and the Spirit Hall personnel, who were prepared, took out several huge soul guides that combined recording and playback. They inserted the recording crystals into them and activated them with their soul power. Soon, three huge projections appeared, which everyone could see, and even hear.

Tang Zhen also looked up, and his expression changed again when he saw one of the projections.

Because the projection showed the location where the Heaven Dou Empire Academy team had set up camp after leaving Wuhun City, and it was from that time that he set off to detour and catch up with the Star Luo Empire Academy team on the other side.

Sure enough, a figure emerged from the camp; who else could it be but Tang Zhen?

Tang Zhen used his overwhelming strength to evade everyone's senses and leave the camp. He then took a detour to catch up with the Star Luo Empire's camp and threw something towards their main tent.

Chapter 309 The Four Clans Commend Themselves

The other two recordings respectively showed the fake video meticulously crafted by Tian Hao and the Spirit Hall, and the entire process of the Battle of Heaven Dou City, including the Star Luo Empire's precise sabotage of the Heaven Dou City gate mechanism and the swift and accurate massacre of the city's defenders.

Seeing this scene, most people wouldn't think much of it, but some high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Dou Empire couldn't help but turn grim.

Although they did not know the overall defense map of Tiandou City, they knew a little about it and could see the irrationality in it.

The Star Luo Army's offensive was too precise and efficient, without any unnecessary moves. It was a tactical arrangement that could only be made if the entire defense map was known.

How could the Star Luo Empire possibly know the complete defense map of Tian Dou City?

There are only a handful of people who are qualified and have the opportunity to know the defense map of Tiandou City. Emperor Xuesheng and Prince Xuezhan have passed away, and there is absolutely no way they would leak the defense map to the Xingluo Empire.

That left only one person...

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Xue Ye, who had been rescued and was receiving healing from her soul skill. Some of the powerful and wealthy even speculated whether Xue Ye was behind their being drugged and robbed.

I've heard that the Po clan under the Haotian Sect is quite skilled in medicine making, and Prince Xuexing is on good terms with the head of the Dugu family...

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, and the anger in his heart continued to rise.

That wasn't the end of it. After the shortest fake video finished playing, the members of the Spirit Hall replaced it with a new recording crystal. This one was specially edited, featuring clips of the Star Luo army breaching the defenses of various large cities.

Although each city occupies a very short section, it is still clear enough for everyone to understand, so how could they not guess what's going on?

Everyone glared angrily at Xue Ye and Tang Zhen, especially those forces that had suffered heavy losses in the war.

Finally, after the longest recording of the Battle of Tiandou City finished playing, the scene fell into a deathly silence, but a chilling killing intent continued to emerge.

Feeling the countless angry and cold gazes, Xue Ye felt a chill run through her body, and cold sweat soaked her clothes.

Although he knew that the video of his conversation with Tang Zhen was fake, the other videos were real, and there was no way to refute or deny them.

Most importantly, he did indeed do it.

"Young Sect Master Ning, Sect Master Yu, what are your opinions?"

Qian Xunji looked at Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen, using this opportunity to force them to make a statement and completely dismantle the alliance of the three upper sects.

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School agrees with the Spirit Hall's decision."

Ning Fengzhi seconded the motion expressionlessly. The situation had already developed to this point, so there was no use in disagreeing. They couldn't possibly make an enemy of almost the entire Soul Master world for the sake of the Clear Sky Sect, could they?

"I also agree with the Spirit Hall's decision."

Yu Yuanzhen echoed the agreement expressionlessly. It wasn't that they weren't capable, but rather that Haotian Sect and Xueye were utterly disappointing.

You did it, but you let others get the evidence. You deserve this fate.

"Crown Prince Xueye is the sole heir to the throne of the Tiandou Empire. I cannot interfere in your empire-level conflicts, but you should refrain from such actions in the future."

Having received statements from Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen, Qian Xunji glanced at Xue Ye and the Tian Dou royal family, gave them a warning, and then waved his hand.

"Elders, listen to my command: execute the criminals Tang Xiao and Tang Hao on the spot."

It would have been fine if the Tang brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, hadn't shown themselves, but since they dared to appear before him, then they should stay.

"Charge out!"

Once he calmed down, Tang Zhen decisively unleashed his power, first using the Haotian True Body, then maximizing his strength with the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Exploding Ring Secret Technique, and charging outwards with his two sons.

The Haotian Sect elders and elites who had been lying in ambush nearby also decisively charged outwards.

With Tang Zhen, a peak level 99 Douluo, leading the way, along with several elders at the title Douluo level, no one could stop them; they were quickly broken through.

This scene left the members of the four major families of Liminyu stunned. Putting aside the sudden change, the fact that Haotian Sect abandoned them to break through was chilling.

The patriarchs of the three major families of Min, Yu, and Po, and an elder of the Li family exchanged a glance, and under the gaze of countless people, they stepped forward together and knelt down in front of Qian Xunji.

"Your Holiness, our four clans were unaware of this matter. The Clear Sky Sect has just abandoned us. On behalf of our four clans, we hereby declare our separation from the Clear Sky Sect. We four will also commit suicide here to apologize to the entire Soul Master world. We beg Your Holiness and everyone to forgive our four clans."

After the four finished speaking, they slapped each other on the forehead with a decisive blow, shattering the brain and killing the person instantly.

The elites of the four major families were furious at the sight, but they felt even more helpless and sorrowful.

They knew that the clan leader was trying to buy them a chance to survive; otherwise, if they did nothing, let alone the Spirit Hall, the sheer number of people present would prevent them from leaving alive.

"After a thorough investigation, we found that this matter was only known to the higher-ups of the Haotian Sect. The four clans had only been passively following orders and were not the main culprits."

However, while the death penalty may be waived, punishment will not be escaped. Those who participated in the Battle of Heaven Dou City are to come to the Spirit Hall to surrender themselves. All the property of the four major families and all the industries under the Haotian Sect will be confiscated and exchanged by the Spirit Hall for various materials for the post-war reconstruction work in various war zones.

The Spirit Hall will make the accounts public, and everyone can supervise this matter.

Chihiro solemnly announced that he had accepted the requests of the four clan leaders, but also imposed severe punishments.

No one had much objection to this, not even Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen said anything.

It is only natural that you should pay the price for doing something wrong.

Your four clans followed the wrong people, so it's normal that you were abandoned and betrayed at the last moment. If you want to survive, you have to pay a sufficient price.

After saying a few more words, Qian Xunji led the Spirit Hall personnel away.

He wasn't here to attend the coronation ceremony on a snowy night; he had already finished his business, so there was no need for him to stay.

Moreover, he also had to oversee the confiscation of the properties under the Haotian Sect, so he couldn't let those guys take them away prematurely.

Even if we can't destroy the Haotian Sect this time, we can't let them get away with it. The only question is whether we can force Tang Chen out this time.

That remains a potential problem.

Tian Hao and Chen Xin didn't linger either, but before leaving, they passed by the corpses of the three clan leaders of the Yu Min Po clan. With the help of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's devouring ability, they remotely devoured the martial souls, soul rings, and even souls of the three who had collapsed due to their deaths.

Last time, Guangling only managed to take down the patriarch of the Power Clan, but this time they've managed to gather the other three as well.
