With Qian Renxue's return, not only did she bring back Tang Hao's corpse, but she also obtained the Angel Nine Trials. She was immediately appointed as the Judgment Elder by Qian Daoliu, giving her a position of authority and preparing her to reclaim the position of Pope in the future.
The Judgment Elder held a status above all other elders in the Elder Hall, with the authority to oversee the entire Spirit Hall, including the Pope. It was like a sharp sword hanging over the Pope's head.
Although Qian Renxue's strength might not have been enough to command respect, as the daughter of the previous Pope and the one who brought back the corpse of Tang Hao, the murderer of the previous Pope, no one could legally oppose her ascension.
Even Bibi Dong couldn't stop it. After all, the Spirit Hall ultimately belonged to the Qian family. Bibi Dong had failed to avenge the previous Pope, which put her at a disadvantage. Although it was Bibi Dong who had killed Qian Xunji, the public culprit was Tang Hao.
At this moment, inside the Pope's Hall!
Bibi Dong stood by the window, overlooking the entire Spirit City. She wore a purple-gold robe that perfectly outlined her figure, holding a scepter and wearing a crown, exuding an air of nobility and elegance.
But these were just appearances. In reality, her heart was far from calm. Qian Renxue had returned and had taken the position of Judgment Elder in the Elder Hall. She would never leave again.
Seeing Qian Renxue reminded Bibi Dong of Qian Xunji, and her hatred for Qian Xunji made her loathe Qian Renxue.
As for maternal love, perhaps it existed, perhaps it didn't. The current Bibi Dong would not confront the emotions she had locked away in her heart.
Her aura suddenly flared, and Bibi Dong let out a cold snort.
"This fool. Twenty years of hard work, and she just abandoned it all. Now I have to clean up the mess."
"The arrangements in the Heaven Dou Empire will inevitably fall apart because of her departure. The only option now is to weaken the hostile forces within the Heaven Dou Empire as much as possible. The Soul Hunting Operation must begin."
"Elder Ju, Elder Gui, make the arrangements. Secretly gather the Spirit Masters under our command, as well as those from the four lower sects that have pledged allegiance to us. Have them infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire in batches. Notify our agents within the empire—it's time for them to prove their worth."
"The targets of this Soul Hunting Operation are the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. These two forces must be destroyed, leaving the Heaven Dou royal family completely isolated."
As soon as she finished speaking, a golden light and a black light flashed behind Bibi Dong. It was Ju Douluo Yue Guan and Gui Douluo Gui Mei.
The two were Bibi Dong's most trusted subordinates, and without hesitation, they responded in unison.
"As you command!"
Soon, the Spirit Hall began to move...
...
Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou City, the Crown Prince's residence!
Chaos reigned here. With Qian Renxue's return to the Spirit Hall, Xue Qinghe had mysteriously disappeared.
The disappearance of the Crown Prince was a major event that could shake the foundations of the Heaven Dou Empire. Emperor Xue Ye was so enraged that he fainted on the spot. Upon investigation, it was discovered that Emperor Xue Ye had been poisoned for a long time, though the poison had not yet fully taken effect. This time, his extreme anger had triggered the poison's eruption.
Everyone knew that Emperor Xue Ye could not afford to fall ill at this critical moment. Thus, Prince Xue Xing called in a favor from Dugu Bo, asking him to enter the palace to detoxify the Emperor. However, the mixed poison in Emperor Xue Ye's body was so complex that even Dugu Bo found it extremely difficult to handle.
The Emperor's poisoning and the Crown Prince's disappearance left the Heaven Dou court in a state of turmoil, and the city itself was filled with undercurrents of tension.
Inside the city, at the Moon Pavilion!
Taking advantage of the chaos, Tang San secretly returned. This time, he was smarter, waiting until nightfall to sneak into the Moon Pavilion.
He found Tang Yuehua and angrily recounted the atrocities committed by the Spirit Hall.
"Aunt Yuehua, I hit a bottleneck in my cultivation, so my father took me to hunt spirit beasts. But for some reason, the Spirit Hall tracked us down. In the Sunset Forest, my father was surrounded and killed by four Title Douluo, and I was chased by a group of Spirit Sages and Spirit Emperors."
"I barely survived, but my father is most likely dead. I don't have time to continue my studies with you now. I beg you to take me to the Clear Sky Sect. I hope the elders of the sect will come out of seclusion to oppose the Spirit Hall and seek justice for my father."
Tang Yuehua was struck as if by lightning. No wonder Tang Hao and Tang San had suddenly disappeared some time ago. She had been worried, but she never expected something like this to happen.
Her second brother was dead, and she was in a daze. She immediately told Tang San the location of the Clear Sky Sect.
Although she wanted to return as well, the city was under strict lockdown. Even Tang San had to sneak in, so she couldn't leave easily. She had no choice but to let Tang San go alone.
After learning the location of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San quietly left the city. After a night of travel, he arrived at the secluded home of the Clear Sky Sect, located in the mountains 300 miles east of Heaven Dou City.
At the foot of the mountain was a small village inhabited by some of the Clear Sky Sect's disciples, though they were ordinary people who couldn't cultivate. This village served as the sect's outpost. Anyone who wanted to reach the real Clear Sky Sect had to pass through here.
As soon as Tang San appeared, he was stopped. He summoned his six black spirit rings, and the sight of the six deep black rings shocked everyone present.
In the end, he was allowed to proceed to the Clear Sky Sect. Led by a disciple, he entered the mountains.
Using his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he crossed the iron chains on the cliffs and finally arrived at the real Clear Sky Sect.
Inside the Clear Sky Sect's assembly hall!
Tang San's six black spirit rings on his Clear Sky Hammer had not only alerted Sect Leader Tang Xiao but also the five elders of the sect. The six of them quickly gathered in the assembly hall and had Tang San brought before them.
Under the gaze of six Title Douluo, Tang San knelt on the ground and angrily recounted his identity and Tang Hao's death.
He hoped the sect would come out of seclusion to oppose the Spirit Hall and seek justice for Tang Hao.
He had thought this would go smoothly, but after Tang San finished speaking, only Tang Xiao showed a look of grief. The other five elders remained cold and indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with them.
Tang San not only failed to convince the Clear Sky Sect to come out of seclusion but was also subjected to a barrage of insults. Words like "sinner" and "half-breed" filled his ears, causing the killing intent in his heart to surge uncontrollably.
That night!
Tang San stayed in the sect. When midnight came, he quietly left his room and, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, began to wander around the sect.
With little effort, he found the sect's only water source. Although water could be found at high altitudes, in these mountains, the water source was essentially singular.
Standing by the spring, a bloody glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.
"When have I, Tang San, ever suffered such humiliation? In my past life, the Tang Sect forbade me from learning the Mysterious Heaven Record, so I secretly learned it. Those foolish elders, deacons, and disciples couldn't even notice. The Clear Sky Sect, huh... Since you refuse to come out of seclusion, then you'll all become my nourishment. Perhaps after devouring you, my Clear Sky Hammer will be able to bear a seventh spirit ring!"
Then, he began to poison the water. The Clear Sky Sect had many powerful experts, and Tang San couldn't kill them directly. But poison was something they couldn't guard against.
Moreover, the poison he used wasn't lethal but was enough to render them powerless. Most importantly, it was colorless and odorless, making it impossible to detect.
