Chapter 107: Three Years, the Forgotten Temple of Worship!
Regarding the events of a few years ago, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect knew a little about them: it seemed that Tang Hao possessed something Spirit Hall valued.
Generally speaking, Spirit Hall, with its vast power, rarely coveted outside treasures, nor would it openly pursue and seize them, as Spirit Hall, being such a large organization, also needed to save face.
Yet, at that time, Qian Xunji actually led a group of Spirit Hall personnel to pursue Tang Hao, not fearing the gossip of the continent's people behind their backs.
Then, there was a high probability of only one reason: Tang Hao possessed a ten-thousand-year soul bone, and it had not yet been absorbed.
After that battle, Tang Hao actually achieved a breakthrough to Titled Douluo on the spot, and it was rumored that his ninth soul ring was also a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
Furthermore, it was rumored that he had a wife and a son who had just been born.
Combining all these pieces of information, it was easy to deduce that Tang Hao's wife was very likely a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast that had taken human form; otherwise, how could he have achieved a breakthrough during the pursuit?
How could Spirit Hall have given him time to absorb a soul ring?
Only for this reason would Spirit Hall dare to openly pursue Tang Hao!
And he believed that not only he had figured it out, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan probably had as well.
However, Spirit Hall never expected that the pursuers would instead be killed; Tang Hao, having just entered the Titled Douluo realm, actually repelled three Titled Douluo in one fell swoop!
(The three Titled Douluo here are set as Qian Xunji, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei.)
Chen Xin frowned and looked at Qian Daoliu: "Then, High Priest, what do you mean? Do you intend to attack my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
As he spoke, Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword was already in his right hand.
He knew he would not be Qian Daoliu's opponent, but if a fight truly broke out, he only hoped to preserve a trace of the Sect's direct bloodline.
With Gu Rong's teleportation, there might be a tiny chance to take Ning Fengzhi and leave!
Qian Daoliu smiled: "That depends on your sect's stance, Chen Xin. You can't possibly think your strength can threaten me, can you? Even if you hold me back, where do you think Gu Rong can teleport Ning Fengzhi to?"
"The power of space is not invincible. Within my Angelic Domain, how far can one teleport? What do you say, Bone Douluo?" Qian Daoliu looked at Gu Rong.
At this moment, cold sweat trickled down Gu Rong's forehead. Just as Qian Daoliu said, if he were caught in his domain, the distance he could teleport would be greatly reduced.
If he had a domain, perhaps he could try to achieve a breakthrough, but unfortunately, he did not!
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, stopping the two: "High Priest, let's be straightforward. I know you didn't come here today to take our lives; otherwise, you wouldn't have said so much."
Qian Daoliu: "You're right. I came here today just to warn you. Don't show off your petty cleverness too much. Or do you think that with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire standing together, the Heaven Dou Empire will send troops to Spirit Hall for your sake?"
"But even if the Heaven Dou Empire had a million troops, what then? My Spirit Hall doesn't have that many people, but we have many soul masters. And do you think, if I were to act, the armies of the Heaven Dou Empire could resist?"
It was only because he wanted to unify the continent honorably; otherwise, he could have directly killed the emperors of the Two Great Empires and, taking advantage of civil strife, launched a conquest!
"Three years. I give your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect three years. Furthermore, if what I said today reaches anyone else's ears, there won't even be three years!"
As he finished speaking, the Angel God's aura on Qian Daoliu's body suddenly flared, and a surge of soul power impacted the three, causing them to immediately spit blood.
The three of them couldn't even react in time!
After doing all this, Qian Daoliu disappeared from the spot.
His objective in coming to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect today had been achieved: he had warned them and also struck them.
Giving them three years was his last act of mercy toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Recruitment emphasizes first courtesy, then force. If Ning Fengzhi still couldn't see the situation clearly, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have no reason to exist.
"Ning Fengzhi, how are you?" Chen Xin and Gu Rong asked anxiously.
Although they both spat blood, they only suffered minor injuries, which were not a big problem.
But they were Titled Douluo, while Ning Fengzhi was merely a Soul Saint.
Ning Fengzhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "I'm fine. Qian Daoliu held back. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Upon hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Xin said, "Then what do we do next?"
Although Qian Daoliu didn't explicitly state it, his meaning was quite clear.
Surrender to Spirit Hall within three years, and live.
To be given a three-year deadline—this was already considered Qian Daoliu being kind.
If it were anyone else, they would probably threaten directly, and if the threat failed, they would directly destroy the sect!
Qian Daoliu's reputation among the older generation was actually quite good.
Ning Fengzhi sighed: "Let's observe the situation first. There are still three years. Don't tell the Heaven Dou Royal Family about this. Within these next three years, Spirit Hall will definitely make a move; we must pay close attention."
Ning Fengzhi felt that Spirit Hall would likely make a big move next. Qian Daoliu had already acted—so what about Spirit Hall's other Titled Douluo?
Although he didn't know how many Titled Douluo Spirit Hall had in secret, there were three openly: Qian Daoliu, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei.
No, that's not right. Chen Xin said, "Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo are probably not just three or four. Ning Fengzhi, have you forgotten about the Worship Hall?"
When Chen Xin mentioned the Worship Hall, Ning Fengzhi finally remembered.
That's right, there's also the Worship Hall!
"It was only with Qian Daoliu's appearance today that I remembered. As the High Priest, Qian Daoliu is still so vigorous—so what about the other priests in the Worship Hall?" Chen Xin sighed.
He didn't know how many priests were in the Worship Hall, but he knew one thing: those who could enter the Worship Hall were all existences with strength above the ninety-fifth rank!
The number didn't need to be large; even if there were only two or three, it would be a considerable blow to their major sects!
When Tang Chen was still around, he could somewhat check Spirit Hall's ambitions for expansion, but now that Tang Chen had been missing for who knows how long, would Spirit Hall's ambitions push them to act again?
