The two of them continued their journey to the Worship Hall.
Upon entering, Qian Guyue was immediately met with a gloomy Qian Daoliu.
As the current High Worshiper of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu's power could be said to have reached the pinnacle of the realm.
The only ones who could compare to him were Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect and Poseidon of Sea God Island
. All three were Ultimate Douluos of the same generation.
Qian Daoliu was Invincible in the Sky, Tang Chen invincible in the Earth, and Poseidon invincible in the Ocean.
Upon seeing Qian Guyue and the others arrive, Qian Daoliu's expression softened slightly, and he nodded at Qian Guyue.
"Xiaoxue! Go play outside with your Aunt Yanying for a while. Grandpa will talk to your eldest brother for a while." Qian Daoliu smiled at the blonde girl beside him, cradling a black bear.
What had happened to his unfortunate son? He had brought so many people with him, but failed and was even killed. Now his beloved granddaughter was heartbroken.
"Um, big brother, Xiaoxue doesn't have a dad anymore." When little Lolita Qian Renxue saw Qian Guyue, she trotted over and threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears.
"Calm down!"
Hearing the little Lolita's cries, Qian Guyue patted Qian Renxue on the back and soothed her, "Okay, okay, Xiaoxue still has big brother."
"Big brother will be with Xiaoxue!" Qian Guyue had never coaxed a child before!
"Really?" Qian Renxue looked up at Qian Guyue.
"Of course it's true!" Qian Guyue pinched Qian Renxue's baby face. "Big brother will never leave Xiaoxue."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Then, let's make a promise, okay?" Qian Renxue stopped crying and said weakly.
"Okay, promise," Qian Guyue said with a smile.
"Come on, promise to hang yourself. You won't change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be a puppy," Qian Guyue said with a smile.
"Okay." Qian Renxue reached out and made a promise with Qian Guyue.
"Okay, let's go play outside with Aunt Yanying for a while! Big brother will make you something delicious tonight." Qian Guyue rubbed Qian Renxue's head.
Well, it felt pretty good.
"Come, Xiaoxue, sister will take you to play." At this time, Yanying on the side spoke. She knew that the conversation between the two was not suitable for Qian Renxue to hear.
"Goodbye, Grandpa, goodbye, brother." Qian Renxue bowed to Qian Daoliu and the others.
As for why Qian Renxue called Qian Guyue brother, it was because Qian Guyue wanted a little sister in his previous life, but he didn't have one.
After Qian Renxue was born, Qian Guyue came to see her, and later often took Qian Renxue to play together. As for Lao Qian himself, he had no objection to this situation.
After all, the two were from the Qian family, and at that time, Qian Guyue was already a Titled Douluo.
In the eyes of the old man, if his granddaughter could open the Divine Test, then Qian Guyue would be the High Priest of the Spirit Hall in the future. If the Divine Test was not opened, then the two of them, one Pope and one High Priest, would be fine!
"Xiaoxue, have fun!" Qian Daoliu said to his darling granddaughter with a smile.
After Yanying took Qian Renxue away, the smiles of the two disappeared instantly.
"Boy, do you know why I called you?" Qian Daoliu said to Qian Guyue.
His son Qian Xunji is gone, and the other people of the Qian family's generation are not that good either. The only outstanding young generation members are Qian Guyue and his granddaughter Qian Renxue.
But his granddaughter is only nine years old now. Besides, after his granddaughter awakens her spirit, Qian Daoliu plans to let Qian Renxue inherit the throne of his angel god in the future.
After careful consideration, Qian Guyue is the only one who is suitable.
As for the Saint Bibi Dong?
Don't think that I don't know who killed my son.
If it weren't for his granddaughter's father's death and the thought of losing her mother as well, Qian Daoliu would have sent that fool, Bibi Dong, down to accompany his son.
It's good enough that they didn't kill you, but you still want the position of Pope? Get out.
"Yes," Qian Guyue nodded. Yan Ying had already outlined the situation on the way here.
Pope Qian Xunji led his men to encircle Tang Hao and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, but was severely injured by Tang Hao, who had achieved a breakthrough through the sacrifice of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast.
After returning, he passed away last night.
It's no surprise that the old man summoned me here this time to figure out how to deal with the Haotian Sect.
Although the old man and Tang Chen had an agreement that the Spirit Hall wouldn't set foot in the Haotian Sect as long as he lived, now that the old man's son has been killed by your Haotian Sect members, if the old man foolishly still abides by that agreement, Qian Guyue will have to figure out how to drive him out and take control of the Spirit Hall herself.
"I plan to send out the Angel Corps to attack the Haotian Sect, and you are the person in charge." Qian Daoliu expressed his thoughts.
The Angel Corps is composed of members of the Qian Family and other flying spirit masters.
They answer directly to the Spirit Hall's Grand Priest. Even the lowest-ranking members are Soul Saints, with their leader being a Level 96 Super Douluo, and two Level 93 Deputy Captains.
It's safe to say the Angel Corps is the Spirit Hall's most elite force.
Ah, the Angel Corps has been dispatched!
It seems the old man is really furious!
"Okay, is he crippled? Or?" Qian Guyue asked. He hadn't been solely focused on training these past few years. There were actual battles involved.
"Save face for Tang Chen and cripple him," Qian Daoliu finally decided to save his old friend's face and hold back.
Any other family would have scattered their ashes.
But what a shame! Qian Daoliu didn't know that in the original novel, because of this holdback, his Spirit Hall was destroyed, and his beloved granddaughter would never be able to break through Level 89.
If he knew, Qian Daoliu would have been the first to attack the Clear Sky Sect, sparing no one but them all.
"No problem," Qian Guyue nodded, indicating no problem. After so many years in this world,
he understood certain principles.
You can do good things, but you can't be a good person.
This world doesn't need kind people.
Sometimes, fists are the best way to gain power.
"Speaking of which, I'm quite curious," Qian Guyue said. "Even if Tang Hao had achieved a Titled Douluo breakthrough, with their Ring Explosion technique, how could he have defeated a veteran Titled Douluo and two Titled Douluos with spirit fusion skills?"
"And how could his health have been so good after fighting for three days and three nights?"
Qian Guyue was puzzled. The Spirit Hall had also studied the Clear Sky Sect's Ring Explosion technique.
It was a powerful technique that used a special channel to blast away one's spirit rings, thereby gaining a large amount of spirit power and a short burst of energy.
While this technique seemed powerful to Qian Guyue, it also had significant drawbacks.
It set extremely high standards for its users; without a certain level of talent, one would be courting death.
Even among the countless members of the Haotian Sect, only Tang Chen, the founder, his grandson Tang Hao, and the future Great God King Tang possess this secret technique.
Even if you briefly burst forth with enough strength to withstand a level 95 opponent, you must swiftly resolve the situation after the ring explosion; otherwise, your body will be the first to collapse.
No matter how talented you are, Tang Hao, what's the point of battling for three days and three nights?
Are you stronger than your grandfather, Tang Chen?
"This?" Qian Daoliu frowned. If Qian Guyue hadn't told him, he wouldn't have noticed!
His old rival, Tang Chen, also knew the Haotian Sect's ring explosion!
He'd experienced it himself, and while it was indeed powerful, even Tang Chen couldn't hold out for long!
How could Tang Hao have held out for so long?
"Old man, are you talking about the upper realm?" Qian Guyue looked up at the sky.
Qian Daoliu was startled by Qian Guyue's idea.
But then he thought, aside from the so-called gods, there seemed to be no other such miraculous methods on the continent!
Qian Daoliu felt uneasy at the thought of his own Spirit Hall secretly facing a divine rival. As a high priest of the Angel God, he knew that even the lowest-ranking deity was no match for a mortal!
Furthermore, neither he nor the other priests of the Qian Clan had received any directives from the angels for centuries, leading them to suspect something, but they weren't certain. But then Qian Guyue spoke.
"That's impossible!" Qian Daoliu forced a smile.
He was also aware of the rule that the divine realm couldn't interfere with the lower realms.
Seeing this, Qian Guyue attacked again.
"Don't forget, those gods were human before they became gods!"
"Humans will do anything for profit."
If there's a 100% profit, capitalists will take risks; if there's a 200% profit, capitalists will flout the law; if there's a 300% profit, capitalists will trample on everything in the world!
For the gods, the faith of the human world is what they desire most.
And their Spirit Hall has held the faith of this continent for who knows how many years, so it's normal for some people to be jealous.
However, there is a rule that the gods cannot interfere with the lower world. The best way is to support a human force, and then this force will kill the previous major force. In the end, the gods behind it will gain the faith of the entire continent, and they only have to pay a tiny amount of divine power. This is a sure win!
Thinking about it this way, it seems to explain why Tang Hao's sudden power brought down the entire Spirit Hall.
Maybe! This so-called Haotian Sect is the object of support of this god.
