Chapter 270 - Chapter 270: Suffocating Maneuvers

After leaving the cafeteria, Mu Yang handed over the inner cores of the Flood Dragon Beast and the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent to Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu respectively, then went to find Mu Xiyue.

Dean Huo Lie had gone to the new academy site to dig and construct a simulation cultivation field, so as the academy's other Title Douluo, Mu Xiyue was naturally staying within the academy.

Inside the Vice Dean's office—

"So, according to what you're saying, the continent is going to fall into chaos soon?"

After hearing Mu Yang's account of the upheaval within the Heaven Dou Palace, as well as the potential actions the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire might take afterward, Mu Xiyue rubbed her temples, only feeling a pounding headache.

Mu Yang nodded slightly. "There will be some chaos. If Spirit Hall wants to realize its ambitions, they need a foundation. As it happens, the kingdoms and principalities under the two great empires are all weak, with large enough territories.

And unless I'm mistaken, Spirit Hall will likely eliminate some eyesores along the way.

But after seizing the territories and clearing out a few stumbling blocks, Spirit Hall will most likely lie low for a while. Once they've accumulated enough strength, they'll devour both the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires in one gulp."

"Spirit Hall really has that big of an appetite?"

Mu Xiyue couldn't help but furrow her brows.

"The greater the strength, the greater the appetite.

Among Spirit Hall's seven elders, the Seventh Elder Jiangmo, the Sixth Elder Qianjun, and the Fifth Elder Guangling are all Rank 96 Title Douluo. The Fourth Elder Xiongshi and the Third Elder Qingluan are both Rank 97 Title Douluo. The Second Elder Golden Crocodile is likely a Rank 98 Title Douluo.

As for the First Elder Qian Daoliu, there's no need to elaborate. Back in the day, he was the undefeated on land no one in the soul master world could match him.

And being invincible in the sky, he's the fastest on the continent. If he were to lower his standards and use any means necessary, he alone could slaughter all high-level soul masters of Title Douluo rank across the two empires.

You could say that in terms of soul master strength alone, Spirit Hall by itself could rival the combined forces of all other powers on the continent.

Of course, this still isn't the most important part."

As he spoke, Mu Yang paused, and his expression grew solemn.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, you little brat—just spit it out already."

Mu Xiyue glared at Mu Yang irritably.

"There are deities in this world and the Angel God worshiped by Spirit Hall is one of them."

"That's impossible, right? Sure, there are legends of gods on the continent, but Blazing Fire Academy has existed for thousands of years, and not once has it recorded any soul master ever becoming one of those so-called gods.

Even if a soul master from Spirit Hall were to become a god someday, it's not like it would happen right in our era, would it?"

Mu Xiyue said, finding it hard to believe.

Mu Yang spoke slowly, "It's quite the coincidence. If any soul master from Spirit Hall were to become a god in the future, it would undoubtedly be in this very era!

The former Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, had a daughter who was believed to have died young, and the identity of her mother remains unknown.

Over a decade ago, the second and third princes of Emperor Xue Ye died in succession. Back then, the mastermind behind it all was unknown, but now that Xue Qinghe's true identity has been revealed being a member of Spirit Hall's Angel Clan, her real name being Qian Renxue—

That means over ten years ago, Qian Renxue had already replaced Xue Qinghe. The deaths of the second and third princes of the Heaven Dou Empire must've been orchestrated secretly by Spirit Hall.

And considering the Angel Clan has very few members, then barring unexpected twists, Qian Renxue must be that same 'deceased' daughter of the former Pope Qian Xunji.

Judging by her age, the current Angel Clan heir is about twenty-five years old. Her soul power level has already surpassed the seven-ring threshold, and her combat strength is not inferior to an average newly advanced nine-ring Title Douluo.

With such talent and suchRenxue aside from those of us who've consumed immortal-grade herbs who in the entire soul master world can match her?

And Aunt, you need to understand something: since Qian Renxue had been in deep cover within the Heaven Dou Empire for so long, her cultivation must've been delayed to some extent.

Without considering external factors, Qian Renxue's innate talent likely surpasses even that of full innate soul power."

"A twenty-five-year-old seven-ring Soul Sage with strength on par with a nine-ring Title Douluo... the Angel Clan truly lives up to its name."

Mu Xiyue couldn't help but sigh.

Although Mu Yang and the others had displayed talent even greater than Qian Renxue's, they themselves knew the truth this level of talent was achieved largely thanks to the immortal-grade herbs. While not entirely dependent on them, the herbs undeniably played a massive role.

Without the assistance of the immortal-grade herbs, people like Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, who had already advanced to six-ring Soul Emperors over half a year ago, would likely still be stuck wandering around the four-ring Soul Ancestor level by now.

"With Spirit Hall being this powerful, what do you plan to do, kid? Surrender?"

After her sigh, Mu Xiyue teased him.

Unlike the two great empires and other sects or noble families, as an independent advanced soul master academy, Blazing Fire Academy and the new elemental academy that would follow were merely platforms for nurturing talented soul masters. Since the enemy was strong and they bore no personal enmity, joining them if they couldn't win wasn't something to be ashamed of.

If Spirit Hall truly could sweep across the entire continent, then even if the academy surrendered, it wouldn't be unreasonable.

Of course, when it came to her eldest nephew, Mu Xiyue was still full of confidence.

After all, she and her husband speculated that behind their eldest nephew stood a great divine being!

Mu Yang waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the future when it comes. I'm just giving you a heads-up that the situation on the continent is changing. The academy needs to stay vigilant, so we don't end up being taken advantage of."

Thanks to their past relationship and the recent life-saving favor, Mu Yang wasn't afraid of Qian Renxue.

Even if Qian Renxue were to ascend to godhood before him, as long as he didn't act recklessly, Qian Renxue would most likely tolerate him. However, Bibi Dong was someone he had to guard against.

Why did Spirit Hall destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? There were two reasons.

First, as one of the three great clans on the continent, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stood in Spirit Hall's way.

Second, as long as the clan continued to exist, Yu Xiaogang and his cousin Liu Erlong would never be accepted by their family elders, and the two would never truly be together.

So, as an old flame, Bibi Dong "helped" Yu Xiaogang out.

From an objective standpoint, the first reason for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's destruction was somewhat acceptable. After all, to the victor go the spoils—if you block someone's path, you can't blame them for eliminating you.

But the second reason? That was just outrageous, and it showed how mad Bibi Dong had become.

Of course, that wasn't even Bibi Dong's craziest move. Her most insane act was Spirit Hall's surprise attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan at the same time they destroyed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

From a god's perspective, ambushing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was definitely one of Bibi Dong's most suffocating operations.

You have to understand, before the clan was attacked, Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan were only potential rivals—they hadn't openly turned on each other yet.

Moreover, at the time, Qian Renxue hadn't even launched the coup in the Heaven Dou Palace, and Ning Fengzhi was still effectively her teacher.

Once Qian Renxue took power and the situation became a fact, Ning Fengzhi, as the master of the usurper, would be burdened with the stain of treason. Using a combination of carrots and sticks afterward, Spirit Hall could have completely brought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan under their control.

So what happened? Bibi Dong's suffocating operation ended up pushing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan firmly to Spirit Hall's opposing side and not just as enemies, but to the point of mutual destruction. It was absolutely f***ing nuts.
