Chapter 22 Attacking the Haotian Sect
Who can object? Who dares to object? Who dares to object to the Angel God himself in the Spirit Hall?
Without exception, the elders knelt on one knee and, with utmost reverence, loudly proclaimed in unison, "Welcome back the First Pope! Welcome back the Angel God to the Spirit Hall!"
With the situation hopeless, Bibi Dong watched helplessly as this unfolded, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
Her scheming, her concealment, and her efforts seemed so laughable in the radiance of the angel god himself. Those elders who ignored her, whom she had painstakingly managed to win over but only a third of, were now kneeling before Qian Yuyan. Qian Yuyan hadn't even done anything yet, but these elders were already worshipping her and offering their loyalty.
Her figure appeared somewhat forlorn, standing out from the many Title Douluos present.
"Very good!" Qian Yuyan was very satisfied with the elders' attitude. These people were still wise to know when to yield, especially that little chrysanthemum brat, who was the first to shout out the slogan.
"Elder," Qian Yuyan said to Bibi Dong with a smile, "if you have nothing else to say, please step back a little. I am about to issue my first important order."
Bibi Dong's anger flared instantly, her fist clenched tightly in her sleeve—she hadn't officially abdicated yet! But then she helplessly relaxed it, mechanically retreating into the group of elders.
Bibi Dong, patient and tolerant!
She secretly encouraged herself. She was the successor of the Rakshasa God. This Angel God had only cultivated earlier than her due to his age. When she became a god... Dark thoughts kept emerging in Bibi Dong's mind.
The elders quickly made room for Bibi Dong, as they did not want to provoke this "former pope" who was seething with anger.
Qian Yuyan glanced at Bibi Dong, raising her eyebrows. This Rakshasa's stench... Bibi Dong really has a rebellious streak. I'll have Jin Yang deal with her later.
"I wonder what divine decree the angel god has descended to the mortal realm to deliver?" Chrysanthemum Douluo flattered.
"Just call me Pope. This is merely my human incarnation, not a god." Qian Yuyan offered herself a consolation, since she was currently only using Jin Yang's divine power as a pretext. It wouldn't be good if someone discovered her true strength and exposed her for being a fraud.
If even a mere human avatar can suppress numerous Title Douluos, just how powerful must a true Angel God be? Many elders swallowed hard. Is this what a god is?
The elders' thoughts were relayed to Qian Yuyan by Jin Yang, making her so embarrassed that she wanted to scratch her feet. Now that things had come to this, she could no longer bring up the matter of being beaten up and having to rebuild her cultivation.
She cursed Jin Yang inwardly a few times, but maintained her holy and dignified demeanor as she spoke: "I've heard there's a sect called Haotian Sect that's very arrogant? They actually dare to call themselves the number one sect in the world? And call their martial spirit the number one weapon martial spirit in the world?"
The elders had different thoughts, guessing at the Angel God's intentions. Could it be that he wanted to take action against the Haotian Sect?
An elder tentatively spoke up: "Your Holiness, I've long disliked the Clear Sky Sect! They've abused their power because their sect leader, Tang Chen, is a peerless Douluo, committing countless evils and acting arrogantly. They've even repeatedly trampled on the dignity of my Spirit Hall. If it weren't for the fact that the Grand Elder has some connection with Tang Hao, my Spirit Hall would have taught these arrogant fools a lesson long ago!"
"Tang Chen's grandson, Tang Hao, is even more despicable. He betrayed the human race, colluded with spirit beasts, and even murdered the former Pope Qian Xunji, who had tried to persuade him to repent. He has also attacked my Spirit Hall branch multiple times. He deserves to die!"
"Although the Clear Sky Sect nominally expelled Tang Hao from the sect, they refuse to hand over this scoundrel and are even trying to hide his whereabouts, which is why our Spirit Hall has been unable to apprehend him to this day. I suspect that Tang Hao is currently hiding within the Clear Sky Sect!"
The elder paused for a moment, then said, "If His Holiness the Pope wishes to eliminate a disgraceful sect like the Clear Sky Sect, he may use the pretext that the Clear Sky Sect is harboring the criminal Tang Hao to launch an attack. I am willing to be the vanguard and lead a large army to raze the Clear Sky Sect's gates to the ground!"
A good subordinate will not only answer your questions, but also help you with the planning.
Qian Yuyan looked at the elder with satisfaction. "What's your name?"
"My name is Tuoba hope, my title is Holy Dragon, and I am the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect." Tuoba hope replied to Qian Yuyan with a look of delight.
"Very good, I'll remember you." Qian Yuyan nodded and looked at the elders: "Have you all understood?"
At this moment, the elders finally came to their senses, looking at Tuoba hope with envy and regretting it so much that they wanted to slap their thighs. This was the approval of the angel god. Otherwise, how could someone be a sect leader? Why didn't they have this reaction speed?
"You have insulted the dignity of my Spirit Hall and injured my Spirit Hall Pope. Can you tolerate such humiliation?"
"No!" The elders shouted in unison, their voices echoing throughout the hall. Tuoba Xi's words reflected their own sentiments. The Clear Sky Sect had risen to fame by stepping on their Spirit Hall, calling themselves the number one sect. As members of the Spirit Hall, how could they not suffer the humiliation of the Clear Sky Sect? How could they not suffer the humiliation of the world?
"What should our Spirit Hall do with the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Slaughter them all!" the elders roared. They had long since lost their patience with a few worthless nobodys who dared to step on the heads of their thirty-odd Title Douluos.
If it weren't for that good-natured Grand Elder who always sided with outsiders, first promising Tang Chen that no member of the Spirit Hall would ever set foot on the Clear Sky Sect under his command, and then lightly ignoring his own son's death, they would have already been squatting in front of the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate, killing them one by one as they came down! Let them starve to death on the mountain. They might not be able to beat Tang Chen, but they could at least beat those rotten fish and shrimps, right?
Moreover, Tang Chen has long since disappeared, so what is the Grand Elder afraid of?
Could it be that the Grand Elder and Tang Chen have some unknown secret?
"Qian Daoliu!" Qian Yu suddenly called out Qian Daoliu's name, making Qian Daoliu shudder. His tone was hostile: "I order you to personally lead the elders and the Angel Legion to raze the Clear Sky Sect and restore the prestige of my Spirit Hall. Can you do it?"
Qian Daoliu hesitated, "God Ancestor, Tang Chen and I are of the same generation. If I personally take action, wouldn't that be too much of an abuse of power?"
The elders all wore speechless expressions. The Grand Elder was good in every way, but his personality was hopeless. If it were one of them at level 99, they would have stopped eating beef long ago.
"Fool! It's because you didn't take action that people look down on the Spirit Hall!" Qian Yuyan resisted the urge to slap Qian Daoliu. After all, he was family, and she had to save face for him in front of outsiders. "You lost your son! Everyone thinks the Clear Sky Sect killed your son. If you don't take revenge, who will respect you? Who will respect the Spirit Hall!"
"You've disgraced the Spirit Hall, what do you care about your old face?" Qian Yuyan said coldly. "Or is your face more important than the face of me, the Angel God?"
"Great Ancestor," Qian Daoliu knelt down with a thud, his face showing panic, "Daoliu had no such intention."
"Then go to the Clear Sky Sect to take revenge yourself. Don't come back to the Spirit Hall until you bring Tang Hao's head back!" Qian Yuyan's voice was icy cold, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Dao Liu obeys the order." Qian Dao Liu sighed inwardly. He knew that Tang Chen was not dead, but had gone to search for the divine inheritance. If he returned and saw that Haotian Sect had been wiped out, he would probably go crazy.
"Proclaim to the world, tell everyone, the Spirit Hall intends to wipe the Clear Sky Sect from this world! The dignity of the Spirit Hall cannot be offended! The glory of the angels cannot be desecrated!"
