"Hmph, Tang Chen, bringing so many people with such imposing manner, do you intend to tear down our Spirit Hall?"
Qian Daoliu swept a glance over the four Title Douluos behind Tang Chen.
Strong...?
Not strong, just in the 91-94 level tier.
But, carrying the Clear Sky Hammer so blatantly on their shoulders, radiating killing intent, what do they want to do?
Give our Spirit Hall a warning?
"Qian Daoliu, you and I can be considered old acquaintances, aren't you welcoming me?" Tang Chen laughed heartily a few times, "Last time the Clear Sky Sect entered the world, I personally delivered the invitation."
"Yes, a few years ago you were still planning to smash the Spirit Hall, I haven't forgotten that!" Qian Daoliu scoffed with a laugh. The current Tang Chen belonged to Slaughter City and was related to the Asura God.
Then he was definitely locked in a life-and-death struggle with our Spirit Hall, so what was there to say!
But so far, they hadn't officially torn face, so he still had to give some respect.
"That was just an accident." Tang Chen retorted, "Did your Spirit Hall really not take Ah Yin's spirit bone?"
"Hmph, our Spirit Hall acts upright and proper. If we say we didn't take it, we didn't take it. Unlike your Clear Sky Sect's junior, who skulks around like a thief, smashing our branch halls everywhere."
"You..." A trace of anger flickered across Tang Chen's face. Of course, he knew something about what Tang Hao had done, but having it said to his face was somewhat embarrassing.
"Qian Daoliu, do you want to have a go with me?" Tang Chen looked Qian Daoliu up and down,
"Your Angel Sacred Sword seems to be lost. As the Angel God's divine servant, to lose your own god's divine weapon, you really bring honor!"
"Lost or not is my business." Qian Daoliu said indifferently, "Even if I gave it away to someone, that's my personal favor, it has nothing to do with you."
"Furthermore, this is Great Sword Mountain, territory under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall. Do you really think that without the Angel Sacred Sword, you can win against me?"
"Your current state isn't much different from mine, you've already lost the qualification to advance further, right?"
"Poor Xixi has been waiting for you all along. You've been back for a few years, with your character, I'm afraid you don't even dare to go see her!"
"Qian Daoliu, what does the matter between me and Bo Saixi have to do with you?" Tang Chen's expression changed slightly.
"Yes, it has nothing to do with me."
"Ultimately, the main characters now are not us, but those children with potential who represent the future of the Spirit Master world."
"Hmph, of course it should be so!" Tang Chen's expression sank slightly.
He just wanted to warn Qian Daoliu. If a real fight broke out, neither side would benefit.
The Spirit Hall was a place with tens of thousands of years of faith. Even without the Angel Sacred Sword, Qian Daoliu might still be able to mobilize the faith to become his own power, thus reaching peak Quasi-God.
That's right, peak Quasi-God.
The limit that so-called divine servants can reach is peak Quasi-God, no matter what kind of power they use.
This is an insurmountable limit.
"Quite lively!" Amid the standoff between the two sides, the space not far away distorted, forming a pitch-black void.
Accompanied by a low dragon's roar, a huge Bone Dragon shot out from the distorted space.
Riding the Ossified Divine Dragon were none other than Bone Douluo and others. Nine spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red, plus the oppressive space and dark aura, made people unable to help but look sideways.
"Level 98..."
The pupils of both Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen contracted slightly.
And, it wasn't just Bone Douluo alone.
On the Ossified Divine Dragon, there were two other Title Douluos.
With spirit rings of two yellow, two purple, five black, and two yellow, two purple, four black, one red respectively.
They were Dugu Bo at level 95, and Shui Cangyue at level 92. Although Shui Cangyue was only level 92, she also had a red spirit ring, which was very eye-catching.
At the same time, Ning Fengzhi and others also flew up and landed on the Ossified Divine Dragon.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly has profound foundation!" Tang Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
If he hadn't managed to get out of Slaughter City, I'm afraid the title of the world's number one sect would have long been in the bag for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi was indeed a dangerous and charismatic fellow.
Not only did he himself break through to the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, unprecedented for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in ten thousand years, but he also recruited so many terrifyingly powerful Title Douluos.
As well as the famously renowned Alchemy Pavilion and Spirit Guide Pavilion in the Douluo Continent.
These were all established during Ning Fengzhi's tenure. Compared to the Clear Sky Sect, they were somewhat lacking in this aspect.
Ning Fengzhi's daughter was said to have broken through Ning Fengzhi's limit, reaching the level of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Ning Rongrong, with innate full spirit power, could very likely become a Title Douluo, judging from Tang Hao's evaluation of Ning Rongrong.
Most likely, she would be another wise Sect Leader who could lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for hundreds of years in style.
A Title Douluo can live an extra hundred years for each level. Those with innate full spirit power, barring accidents, all become Title Douluos.
With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's human and material resources, a level 95 Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was not unattainable.
"Your Excellencies, I wonder if you can give this Ning Fengzhi some face."
"This is the Continental Spirit Master Grand Competition. Though lacking talent, Fengzhi also serves as a member of the organizing committee. I hope to see this unprecedented spirit master competition through to completion."
"That is natural. Our Spirit Hall also hopes to complete this competition." The speaker was not Qian Daoliu, but Bibi Dong. Her eyes gleamed deeply,
"Sect Leader Ning seems determined to win the championship of this competition!"
"Your Holiness the Pope flatters me." Ning Fengzhi smiled gently and elegantly, "Whether to win the championship or not is a matter for the young people. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has also used this conference to make a name for itself on the continent, be it in pills or spirit guides."
"However, Glazed Academy does indeed have the desire to aim for the championship."
"A 100,000-year spirit bone, I think no one would remain unmoved, right?" Ning Fengzhi paused,
"It's just that Fengzhi is very curious. The completeness of this 100,000-year spirit bone is astonishing. I wonder where Your Holiness obtained such an item."
The higher the age of a spirit bone, the higher its completeness, and the stronger the power it can unleash.
This 100,000-year light-attribute torso bone seems as if it was completely stripped from the spirit beast, not obtained through battle.
You know, beating the other party half to death to get a treasure stained with blood.
"Sect Leader Ning, this is somewhat disingenuous." Bibi Dong curled a smile, "Do you truly not know?"
Ning Fengzhi was rendered speechless by Bibi Dong's words.
Damn, this woman Bibi Dong doesn't play by the rules.
How am I supposed to respond to that?
"Hmph, Sect Leader Ning, let me tell you!" Tang Chen spoke up, "Rumors say the Spirit Hall colludes with spirit beasts. Presumably, this spirit bone was obtained by bowing and scraping to get it from the spirit beasts."
"The Spirit Hall, which prides itself on light and justice, dares to do but dares not admit it?"
Tang Chen's words were spoken very loudly, even allowing the people below to hear.
"What!"
The audience below was indeed startled.
Even the several elders from the Spirit Hall's Worship Hall had their expressions change slightly.
Because the matter of cooperation with the Star Dou Great Forest was known to only a few even within the Worship Hall; not all Elders knew about it.
"Impossible!"
"The Spirit Hall conspiring with spirit beasts? Impossible, don't they have an irreconcilable enmity with spirit beasts?"
The Spirit Hall was the first, and sturdiest, barrier against spirit beasts, even beast tides.
This was the consensus of everyone on the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years, and also the main reason the Spirit Hall was known as the continent's number one spirit master holy land.
Could all of this be a conspiracy?
Although there were only a few thousand people in the audience stands, the events of this final round were being broadcast live to the entire continent via spirit guides. In an instant, the Spirit Hall's "deeds" spread across the continent.
In a certain hidden location within the audience stands.
A man clad in a cloak, unkempt all over, said in a low voice:
"This is just like the Spirit Hall, 'only allowing officials to set fires, forbidding common people to light lamps'."
"If it weren't for them, Ah Yin wouldn't have..."
"Hypocritical fellows, what right do they have to judge Ah Yin."
"Indeed, the Spirit Hall is inherently wicked!"
