Chapter 220 Tang San and Tang Hao's Predicament
In addition, both empires had a very friendly attitude towards the Spirit Hall.
Of course, it's less about the two great empires' attitude towards the Spirit Hall and more about their attitude towards Qin Mu.
On the Heaven Dou Empire's side, thanks to Qian Renxue's assistance, any event involving Qin Mu received the green light under her manipulation.
During this period, the Heaven Dou Empire also enjoyed the benefits of Qin Mu being the Pope of the Spirit Hall. From the empire's famous experts to ordinary people, everyone praised Qin Mu highly.
As for the Star Luo Empire, although the Spirit Hall's policies were promoted much slower than those of the Heaven Dou Empire due to Crown Prince Dai Mubai.
However, thanks to Zhu Zhuqing's strong support, they did not fall far behind.
In fact, recently, Dai Mubai's constant resistance to cooperating with the Spirit Hall has even provoked protests from some ministers.
Qin Mu helped Zhu Zhuqing, certainly not because he was lustful at first sight.
More importantly, he really had no one he could trust in the Star Luo Empire.
Qin Mu's desire to change the Spirit Hall is inseparable from the Star Luo Empire.
He knew that Dai Mubai was the future crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, and he could not get rid of him directly in a short period of time.
Otherwise, all the reputation Qin Mu had built up during this period would be ruined by his killing of Dai Mubai.
Therefore, he took advantage of his shallow friendship with Zhu Zhuqing, and the fact that Zhu Zhuqing disliked Dai Mubai, to seize the opportunity.
That titled Douluo, along with a group of cardinals and deacons, represented Qin Mu's attitude.
With the Spirit Hall's current prestige, even a powerful nation like the Star Luo Empire wouldn't dare to show such disrespect.
In a city of the Star Luo Empire, an ugly, wounded young man slowly walked away from the city gate and staggered toward a secluded spot.
It took the young man nearly half an hour to walk just a few kilometers.
An ordinary person might be able to understand it a little, but the young man in front of them was no ordinary person.
He is a genuine Soul Master!
Once he reached a secluded spot, the young man cautiously surveyed his surroundings. After confirming that no one had noticed him, he immediately jumped off the cliff. After maintaining his balance in mid-air, he reached a crevice halfway up the mountain and slipped inside.
Even though it was still noon, there was still some darkness in the crevice, and only through the faint light could one see a solitary, withered figure sitting in the crevice.
"Dad, I'm home."
Whenever the young man saw the person in front of him like this, he couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart, and his hatred for Qin Mu would increase.
Indeed, the two people hiding like dark rats in a dark, sunless crevice were none other than the once-famous Clear Sky Douluo and Tang San, who had been defeated in the Continental High-Level Soul Master Elite Tournament!
After Tang San finished speaking, he did not receive a response from Tang Hao.
Tang San was already used to this.
Tang San put the goods he had purchased from the city aside, sat down a little closer to the door, and began to look through the latest news.
When Tang San learned that Dai Mubai had succeeded as the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire, his eyes immediately lit up.
"It's Mu Bai? That's wonderful! I've been waiting for him to succeed to the throne!"
"I will go to find him in a few days."
"Given our past relationship, he should be able to help me out a little."
"If all else fails, I'll just give him a strong tonic. This guy likes to indulge himself anyway!"
At this point, Tang San's somewhat sinister face suddenly turned into a strange smile.
As he continued flipping through the newspaper, Tang San's expression instantly turned ferocious when his gaze fell on the most eye-catching column.
"How is this possible?! It's him! It's him! What right does he have?!"
His hands trembled uncontrollably, and the newspaper in his hands gradually became crumpled as his hands trembled.
However, after five years of hiding and fleeing, Tang San's character had been tempered considerably during those five years.
Suppressing his anger, Tang San continued reading the information about Qin Mu.
"Possessing a 100,000-year-old spirit ring... succeeding as Pope... implementing policies... and winning unanimous praise!"
"Why him?! If it weren't for him, I would have won, and that would be my life!"
He stole my life!
Tang San could no longer contain his anger and tore the newspaper to shreds.
But just as he was about to tear it apart, Tang San's gaze suddenly paused, and then the expression on his face froze.
Tang San didn't even realize what was happening as the newspaper scraps fell to the ground.
After a long while, Tang San suddenly knelt on the ground and pieced the torn newspaper back together, one piece at a time.
After piecing it together, Tang San carefully flipped through it again, and when he got to the very last sentence of the column about Qin Mu, Tang San's eyes completely lost their light.
"What happened?"
An aged voice sounded behind Tang San, but Tang San ignored it and continued to sit there in a daze.
Tang Hao, standing behind Tang San, looked at the newspaper in front of him, then his gaze fixed on a certain point, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Level 90?! In just five years, Qin Mu actually went from level 60 to level 90? How is that possible?!"
It's no wonder Tang Hao didn't believe it; even someone as talented as him back then took him more than a decade to figure it out.
Tang San, who was of the same generation as him, also reached level 65 after five years of trials.
Such a level is indeed not weak, but in front of Qin Mu, it becomes simply not enough!
Since Xiao Wu's sacrifice five years ago, Tang San has survived, but he lives like a walking corpse, devoid of any soul.
What drove him to keep striving was to avenge his hatred for Qin Mu.
Qin Mu has now officially become a level 90 Title Douluo, but he is still just a level 65 Soul Emperor.
Revenge is easier said than done.
Seeing Tang San's appearance, Tang Hao couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiao San, take these two items back to Clear Sky Sect."
"With these two things, I believe those people will stop making things difficult for you."
"Furthermore, we will relay the news that Qin Mu has reached level ninety to the Clear Sky Sect. I believe they will definitely not sit idly by and wait for their doom."
Hearing that there were helpers available, a glimmer of hope returned to Tang San's eyes.
Turning to look at Tang Hao, Tang San was once again stunned by Tang Hao's current state.
The once domineering Clear Sky Douluo now only has one arm and one leg left, and his body is half as thin as before.
What's most striking is his hair.
His hair was completely white, and he looked utterly lifeless. Yet, judging by his age, the current Clear Sky Douluo was not even seventy years old!
Coupled with his ragged clothes and withered appearance, no one would believe that the old man in front of them, who looked like a candle flickering in the wind, was actually Clear Sky Douluo!
