Douluo Continent: Let Tang San fuse with a ten-year soul ring

Chapter 157 The Spirit Hall Unleashes Its Full Force

The third day after the main force set off.

Dressed in white and wearing a white mask, Lin Ye hurriedly arrived at the Papal Palace.

The paladin knights bowed to him upon seeing him, saying, "Greetings, sir."

Ignoring everything else, Lin Ye grabbed someone and asked urgently, "Where is the Pope? I need to see the Pope."

The paladin replied, "Your Excellency, His Holiness the Pope set off with his men to attack the Haotian Sect the day before yesterday."

He left the day before yesterday? Lin Ye was extremely anxious. Wasn't he too late? The opportunity was already too late.

After careful questioning, he learned that Qian Xunji had set off with a legion of Soul Masters.

In this light, it might still be possible to make it in time, since a large-scale march would inevitably slow down the pace of progress.

Lin Ye then hurriedly headed towards the offering hall at the top of the mountain.

They hadn't gone far when they unexpectedly ran into Bibi Dong and her daughter Qian Renxue.

At this time, Qian Renxue looked to be about nine years old, with a rosy complexion like a delicate porcelain doll.

However, Lin Ye's gaze immediately turned to Bibi Dong, and he said urgently, "Bibi Dong, quickly take me to see Qian Daoliu."

Bibi Dong remained unmoved, instead glaring at Lin Ye with eyes full of hatred.

Lin Ye's eyes turned cold. "Bibi Dong, get your facts straight. I'm not discussing this with you. If you dare to give me attitude, I'll go and kill that piece of trash."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth in hatred. This guy only knows how to threaten her with Xiao Gang.

But it must be said, this trick is actually quite effective.

"Xiaoxue, go back first. Mom will be back in a little while."

After sending Qian Renxue away, Bibi Dong reluctantly led the way, and the two soon arrived at the offering hall at the top of the mountain.

This was Lin Ye's first time visiting the Offering Hall, but with Bibi Dong "showing off" his connections, no one stopped him along the way.

Upon entering the main hall, Lin Ye saw Qian Daoliu kneeling devoutly before the statue of the angel god, his face solemn and dignified.

The old man was very focused and ignored the two even though he knew that uninvited guests had entered the offering hall.

"Qian Daoliu, stop bowing. If you don't want your son to be crippled, then hurry up and bring your men with me," Lin Ye said bluntly.

These words were spoken.

Qian Daoliu suddenly opened his eyes. "What did you say?"

Lin Ye said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and leave. If you're late, your son will be in real danger."

Seeing Lin Ye's anxious expression, and knowing that his son's safety was at stake, Qian Daoliu dared not delay any longer and immediately prepared to set off.

At this moment, three people entered the main hall.

The elder at the head of the group spoke up, "Great Elder, let us go with you."

This man had white hair and beard, a robust build, and wore a long golden robe embroidered with a crocodile pattern in silver thread.

Qian Daoliu wanted to say that it wasn't necessary and that he could handle it himself.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ye spoke first: "Okay, let's go together then."

In the blink of an eye, the group walked out of the offering hall, and Qian Daoliu transformed into a rainbow of light, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight.

The Third Elder, Azure Phoenix Douluo, released a large azure bird, which carried the group of people and flew towards the direction where Qian Daoliu had disappeared.

On the way, Lin Ye learned that he was accompanied by the level 98 Second Elder Golden Crocodile Douluo, the level 97 Third Elder Azure Phoenix Douluo, and the level 96 Fifth Elder Light Feather Douluo.

It's worth mentioning that Bibi Dong actually came along too.

Nearly a hundred miles east of Tiandou City, at the very front of a continuous cluster of fortified villages, the three characters "Haotian Sect" on the plaque above the main gate carry immense weight.

However, on this dark, cloudy night, even though it was late at night, the many disciples of the Haotian Sect on patrol were still on high alert, and even though they were tired, they dared not relax their vigilance.

Everyone's face was filled with unease and bewilderment, as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

This uneasy atmosphere enveloped the entire Haotian Sect.

Inside the council hall, the high-ranking members of the Haotian Sect gathered together.

Tang Tianju is in the main position.

The old man didn't look well. He leaned back in his chair, his face slightly pale, and his eyes were filled with lingering worry.

Tang Tian suffered a severe injury in his early years, and as the years went by, his condition deteriorated day by day.

Since the Spirit Hall declared war, Tang Tian's health has deteriorated even further.

Seven elderly men sat to the left and right of the lower seat. They all looked to be at least eighty years old, but they were all in good spirits and had ruddy complexions.

These seven people are the seven elders of the Haotian Sect. Among them, the eldest elder, Tang Xuan, is a titled Douluo, while the others are all Soul Douluos.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, these individuals are also capable of breaking through to the Title Douluo level.

At the scene, Tang Tian and all the elders wore worried expressions.

Previously, when the Spirit Hall only protested, everyone could laugh at their incompetence.

But now that they've really started fighting, everyone suddenly feels immense pressure and that disaster is imminent.

Now that everyone has gathered together, they are discussing whether to fight or retreat.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Heavenly Dou Royal Family have all sent people to support the Clear Sky Sect, and they are currently on their way.

With the help of these three parties, it's not that we're without the ability to fight.

The price to pay is inevitably heavy losses, crippling the sect.

If we were to retreat, the only option would be to retreat to our ancestral homeland.

The ancestral home of the Haotian Sect is located 300 miles east of Tiandou City, nestled among towering peaks behind a small mountain village surrounded by mountains.

Qian Daoliu had fought Tang Chen on this mountain and suffered a hidden loss, so he swore that no one from the Spirit Hall below him should ever set foot in this place again.

Now facing the menacing Spirit Hall, the ancestral land has become the Clear Sky Sect's last resort.

However, unless absolutely necessary, they don't want to go up the mountain and become wild people.

The high-ranking members of the Haotian Sect were caught in a deep dilemma.

Returning to our ancestral homeland is clearly not an option; otherwise, what difference would we make from being cowards?

Moreover, even if they were to retreat, they should fight first. It's one thing to be outmatched in skill, but if they flee without a fight, lacking even the courage to fight, then their Haotian Sect, which claims to be the number one sect in the world, would truly become a laughingstock.

At that time, his prestige will plummet to rock bottom.

But if war breaks out, can the sect really withstand the devastating losses?

After repeated discussions, everyone decided to wait for support from the three upper sects and the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, and then decide whether to fight or retreat based on the specific situation.

However, we can't do nothing. We can first arrange for some of the direct descendants to relocate to the ancestral land.

In this way, even if the worst-case scenario occurs, at least some seeds can be preserved for the sect.

Following Tang Tian's order, within the Haotian Sect's castle, a portion of the sect's direct descendants began to move, packing their belongings and heading to the ancestral land under the leadership of the Seventh Elder. (End of Chapter)
