!"Is this little guy Dai Yao? His strength is really impressive. He withstood nearly 30% of your pressure so easily. If it weren't for Bibi Dong's interference, I would definitely take him as my personal disciple."
Jin E gazed in the direction Dai Yao had left, his hands behind his back, exuding the air of a grandmaster.
A glint of obscure light flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes.
"Second Brother, if you really want to take him as your disciple, I will go and talk to him. As long as he agrees, even Bibi Dong has no reason to stop him."
Qingluan Douluo frowned.
Golden Crocodile waved his hand and said, "If there is no fate, why force it? A forced relationship will never be sweet. If there really is a master-disciple relationship, this little guy and I will definitely have interactions in the future."
"You shouldn't get involved in this matter."
Golden Crocodile turned his head and looked at Azure Phoenix Douluo with a teasing expression:
"By the way, your little apprentice has quite a fiery temper. She actually dared to talk back to you for that little one, which is completely different from her usual well-behaved self!"
Speaking of the Phoenix Tree, Azure Phoenix Douluo was filled with anger and gave a bitter smile, saying:
"My apprentice is good in every way. She is exceptionally talented, obedient, and hardworking. But I don't know why, she has her heart set on Dai Yao. No matter how I try to break them up, I can't change her mind."
"I really don't understand. There are so many men in the world, why is she so devoted to this kid!"
"When it comes to Dai Yao, even I, as his master, have to take a backseat!"
Seeing the amused expression on Golden Crocodile Douluo's face, Azure Phoenix Douluo turned his head and sighed wistfully:
"Now I understand the helplessness in my elder brother's heart as he faced Xue'er's decision to go to Tian Dou..."
Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. Qian Daoliu, one of the two great masters of the Soul Master world, possessed earth-shattering strength, yet he was helpless against his granddaughter.
In the past few years in the Hall of Worship, Qian Daoliu's concern for Qian Renxue was like that of an old man worrying about whether his granddaughter who had left home was doing well. He didn't look like a peerless Douluo at all!
"By the way, third brother, be careful on your trip to the Clear Sky Sect. Although Tang Chen has disappeared from the Soul Master world for many years, I'm afraid he may have left some backup plans in the Clear Sky Sect."
"Especially Qianjun and Jiangmo, those two are very belligerent. If they encounter the Clear Sky Hammer, which is known as the number one weapon spirit in the world, they are likely to get carried away with their blood. You must stop them in time!"
"The Papal Palace started the effort to wipe out the Haotian Sect, so let those titled Douluo from the Papal Palace make the first move. We should hold back and make sure there are no casualties."
"Golden Crocodile Douluo warned."
Qingluan Douluo nodded with a serious expression and said, "Second Brother, don't worry, I know."
Over the years, Bibi Dong has become increasingly powerful, putting more and more pressure on them. With Bibi Dong in control of the Papal Palace and the greater good, the number of powerful figures in the future will continue to increase, and there may even be several more Title Douluo.
However, with Bibi Dong in charge of the Hall of Worship, it's uncertain whether any more Title Douluos will be willing to join the Hall of Worship in the future.
Therefore, with the balance of power shifting, it's difficult for them to contend with Bibi Dong. Thus, they must now preserve their own strength.
Once Qian Renxue returns to the Hall of Worship and successfully inherits the Angelic Godhood, all her forbearance will finally pay off...
······
Beneath the waterfall, a thunder dragon once again swallowed the entire waterfall. Dai Yao laughed heartily, finally able to unleash the Thunder Eight Extremes Collapse on his own.
With a light leap, it jumped out of the waterfall.
Noticing Dai Yao arriving at the shore, Du Juan quickly went over and used a towel to dry him off.
A moment later, the water stains on Dai Yao's body were wiped away. He calculated the time and realized that there were only a few days left before he went to Haotian Sect.
"It's time to say goodbye to Zhu Qingwutong."
He thought to himself.
It is worth mentioning that because the Hall of Offerings suddenly sent out two Super Douluo, Qianjun and Jiangmo, Bibi Dong detained Demon Bear Douluo and only sent out three Douluo, Ju Gui and Ling Yuan.
With the addition of Qingluan, Qianjun, and Jiangmo, there are a total of six Title Douluos, as well as three Super Douluos, so Dai Yao doesn't need to worry about safety at all.
"Haotian Sect, since you've chosen to live in seclusion, then disappear forever."
Dai Yao gazed at the scenery beyond the mountain pass and thought to himself.
The purpose of this trip to Haotian Sect is simply to ascertain the current strength of the Haotian Sect.
Once the fact that the Clear Sky Sect possesses six Title Douluos is clarified, the Spirit Hall will surely be wary, especially on this day when the Soul Hunting Plan is about to begin. The Clear Sky Sect is a thorn in the side of the Spirit Hall and must be eliminated.
Although Dai Yao defeated Tang San multiple times, he still harbored some apprehension towards this chosen one from the original story. Therefore, he would not hesitate to eliminate all forces around him.
The Haotian Sect is just the beginning.
······
Several days later.
Outside Wuhun City, two carriages stood quietly. As the weather grew colder, the moisture from the horses' breath gradually condensed into white mist in the air.
Hundreds of well-dressed soldiers stood around, their backs ramrod straight, exuding a chilling aura. These battle-hardened soldiers dared not utter a sound, not even a heavy breath.
Because the Soul Masters who are about to appear here are all top-tier beings on the continent!
Dai Yao sat in front of the carriage, engrossed in a book. Noticing the approaching dusk, he calculated the time and muttered to himself:
"They should be here soon."
Just then, three beams of light suddenly appeared halfway up the mountain where the Papal Palace was located, soaring into the sky and flying towards the outside of Wuhun City. After several leaps, three figures suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Two men and one woman. The man in black was completely hidden in the darkness, exuding a cold aura. The other man had a feminine demeanor, and the last woman had a light and ethereal temperament, as if she were about to fly away.
It was Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Spirit Kite Douluo.
The somewhat effeminate man glanced at the other empty carriage, gave a cold snort, and said in a soft, feminine voice:
"What, do we have to invite those guys from the Offering Hall?"
Before the words had even finished, a powerful voice boomed through the sky:
"Little chrysanthemum, it's not your place to lecture me!"
The voice arrived before the person.
A dragon-coiled staff flew up from the mountains in Wuhun City, accompanied by a piercing sound, and crashed down in front of Chrysanthemum Douluo, raising countless clouds of dust.
As the smoke cleared, three figures appeared before everyone. Although they had not released their soul power, the suffocating pressure caused the three titled Douluo of the Papal Palace to involuntarily take a few steps back.
"When subduing demons, one must not be rude. We are companions on this trip to Haotian Sect, and we should cooperate sincerely."
Azure Phoenix Douluo stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.
But his tone held no hint of reproach. The Demon-Slaying Douluo knew this too, so he grabbed the Panlong Staff and slung it over his shoulder, giving the three people in the Papal Palace a disdainful look.
Although the three titled Douluo of the Papal Palace were dissatisfied, the difference in strength could not be made up for by anger. All the humiliation had to be swallowed down.
Seeing the two sides locked in a fierce confrontation, Dai Yao couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't expected the struggle between the Papal Palace and the Temple of Worship to have escalated to this point.
Dai Yao couldn't help but wonder if this trip to the Clear Sky Sect was the right decision, but the die was cast. He took a deep breath, stood between the two sides, bowed to each of the Title Douluos, and then said in a deep voice:
"Your Excellencies, although we belong to different factions, we are all members of the Spirit Hall, and our target on this journey is our nemesis—the Clear Sky Sect!"
"Only through sincere cooperation can the Haotian Sect be completely destroyed."
"I hope everyone will prioritize the greater good, set aside the disputes, and discuss them after the Haotian Sect is destroyed!"
Upon hearing this, the tense atmosphere between the two sides gradually dissipated.
Ghost Douluo is Zhu Zhuqing's master, Chrysanthemum Douluo has a past relationship with Dai Yao, and Spirit Kite Douluo and Azure Phoenix Douluo are both Feng Wutong's masters. For the sake of their disciples, and because Dai Yao's words make sense, these titled Douluo are happy to give Dai Yao face.
The three titled Douluo from the Papal Palace were willing to ease tensions, and the three from the Hall of Worship, led by Azure Phoenix Douluo, waved their hands gently, and the two sides were no longer so confrontational.
Seeing the atmosphere ease between the two sides, Dai Yao breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"Gentlemen, the hidden place of the Haotian Sect is located three hundred miles east of Tiandou City in the Tiandou Empire. Therefore, our journey requires us to go deep into the Tiandou Empire."
"To avoid unnecessary trouble, we need to disguise ourselves as ordinary people. We need your patience for a while."
The Demon-Slaying Douluo, carrying the Panlong Staff, laughed wildly:
"Why hide our identities? Let's just attack! Even without those guys from the Papal Palace, the three of us brothers alone can sweep away that so-called number one sect in the world!"
"you!"
The Demon-Slaying Douluo's words instantly enraged the three members of the Pope's Palace. Even if they were no match for the Demon-Slaying Douluo, they were not pushovers and were determined to prove themselves equal to him!
"younger brother!"
"Qianjun Douluo shouted fiercely."
Seeing the stern-faced Thousand-Pound Douluo, the Demon-Slaying Douluo's domineering aura subsided somewhat, and he even had to lean on the Panlong Staff he was carrying.
After the Demon-Slaying Douluo's momentum weakened, the Thousand-Pound Douluo bowed to the members of the Papal Palace and said:
"Gentlemen, this young man is right. The Haotian Sect has always been a major threat to us. When we go to the Haotian Sect, we must cooperate sincerely."
"Here, I apologize on behalf of my brother."
After saying this, he gently cupped his hands in apology.
Although Qianjun Douluo's attitude wasn't exactly sincere, he did give everyone a way out, so the expressions of the three members of the Papal Palace softened slightly.
Dai Yao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Compared to his arrogant younger brother, Demon Subduing Douluo, Thousand-Pound Douluo was undoubtedly much more rational. If it weren't for him, the two sides would probably have had an unimaginable conflict.
At that time, they won't have the mind to go to the Haotian Sect; it would be good enough if they didn't kill each other.
"Your Excellencies, the journey to the Haotian Sect is long and arduous. Let us depart now without delay."
Once the titled Douluos were drawn over by Dai Yao's words, Dai Yao came to the carriage and introduced it:
"There are two carriages, both decorated with the same materials, and there is no difference in their quality. In order to avoid conflict, we would like to ask the three His Holinesses of the Papal Palace to sit separately from the three His Holinesses of the Sacred Hall."
The three Title Douluos in the Papal Palace exchanged glances and then unanimously chose the one on the left. Demon Subduing Douluo wanted to compete for it, but was stopped by Thousand-Pound Douluo and had to give up his plan.
Qianjun Douluo and Qingluan Douluo exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and then darted into the carriage on the right.
After the titled Douluo were all seated, Dai Yao boarded the carriage in the Papal Palace, transformed into a coachman, and gently cracked the whip, sending the carriage speeding away.
Under his leadership, the carriages behind him, whipped by a Contra Douluo, followed the carriages in front, rushing towards the sunset.
The wheels rolled on, kicking up clouds of dust; the grand drama that would shake the entire continent was slowly beginning...
······
Haotian Sect, Iron Chain Bridge.
Standing on the frost-covered iron chain bridge, the mountain wind was biting, and Tang San's long, light blue hair fluttered like ocean waves.
He glanced at the Haotian Sect's mountain gate, then shifted his gaze to the countless Haotian Sect disciples gathered in front of it. Their eyes held a mixture of hostility, contempt, disgust, and incomprehension.
Aunt Tang Yuehua, who had no soul power, was wearing a close-fitting silver cheongsam. She was dignified and elegant, and although it was a thin layer, she seemed not to feel the slightest bit of cold. She was looking at him with a worried expression.
Sect Master Tang Xiao, a man as imposing as a father, was examining himself at this moment.
The mountain wind was cold, but Tang San's heart was unwavering, his blood seemed to boil, and his hands clenched involuntarily.
"I must make my father acknowledge his ancestors and return him to his family. I must not let my uncle and aunt down. Let me bear all of my father's sins!"
Looking at the cliff that resembled the one before his death in his previous life, Tang San felt a strange sense of emotion. He was also forced by the sect, and faced the same cliff, but today, he would never accept his fate!
His gaze suddenly hardened, as if a fierce fighting spirit was burning within him, and the killing intent within his body began to boil. The regrets of two lifetimes were all resolved in this battle, and his entire state was elevated to an unprecedented peak!
Suddenly raising his head, his gaze, filled with fighting spirit, instantly pierced through hundreds of meters and collided with the Seventh Elder, who stood on the iron chain bridge like an immortal, seemingly weightless.
The fighting spirit contained in those eyes startled the Seventh Elder!
"Good heavens, this kid's fighting spirit is quite threatening to me! However, if he wants Tang Hao to be recognized as a member of the clan, he must first get past me!"
The Seventh Elder thought to himself.
"Seventh Elder, what if the distance between the two mountains is negative?"
Tang San pointed forward with one hand in an inviting gesture and smiled gently.
Like a noble knight, the ceremony of inviting someone to a duel, the standard refined demeanor—even Tang Yuehua couldn't help but nod secretly in approval. Even she couldn't find a single fault with it.
His handsome appearance made many women of the Haotian Sect blush. In their hearts, Tang Hao no longer seemed so hateful.
The Seventh Elder nodded, and with a wave of his right hand, the Clear Sky Hammer appeared out of thin air on his right hand. The Clear Sky Hammer had no patterns on it, only nine soul rings that were gently shining.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
Title Douluo!
Nine spirit rings, like sharp swords, pierced Tang San's eyes, giving him a jolt. He hadn't expected that the Seventh Elder was also a Title Douluo!
However, at this moment, the Seventh Elder did not look at Tang San, but instead narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the snow-covered mountain peaks in the distance.
Not only him, but the remaining four elders, along with Sect Master Tang Xiao, all fixed their gazes on the distance.
Noticing the changes in the elders, the disciples of the Haotian Sect also turned their gazes in the direction the elders were looking, and discussions gradually arose.
In the distance, a figure gradually emerged from beneath the snow-capped mountain. With short golden hair, he exuded confidence and certainty, without being overly flamboyant, resembling a refined scholar. However, his next words caused an uproar among the disciples of the Haotian Sect!
"The so-called number one sect in the world is nothing but a bunch of cowards. Today I want to see if your Clear Sky Hammer is worthy of the title of number one weapon spirit in the world!"
Tang San turned around abruptly, and when he saw the person's face clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted!
