The Spirit Hall was attacked in the morning.
Tang Li's newspaper published it in the afternoon.
[Shocking! The Spirit Hall cedes territory and pays compensation, completely withdrawing from the Heaven Dou Empire and handing it over to the Tang Sect!]
[Peerless Douluo Appears! The duel between the Spirit Hall's Grand Elder and the Clear Sky Sect's Ancestor!]
[Tang Master: Knowledge is power, the body of a Soul Douluo is comparable to a demigod!]
[Tang Master swings his hammer at the Papal Palace, nearly leveling the Spirit Hall!]
[The Tang Sect stands shoulder to shoulder with the Spirit Hall, dominating the Heaven Dou Empire!]
[The Clear Sky Sect has been wronged for over a decade! Today, its name is vindicated!] All the articles
were unanimously praising the Tang Sect.
—But it was the Tang Sect's own newspaper; who else would they praise if not the Tang Sect?
They strived to give the Tang Sect a legitimate cause in their writing.
The blame was first placed on the Clear Sky Sect by the Spirit Hall.
The battle was something Bibi Dong, unwilling to see the Tang Sect rise, deliberately invited people to Spirit City to trap and defeat them.
Even
the Spirit Hall's previous underhanded tactics against the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda were all exposed.
The Tang Sect was entirely on the defensive, occupying the moral high ground,
and was forced to retaliate.
These statements were widely disseminated,
making it easy for the world to accept the idea that "the Heaven Dou Empire belongs to the Tang Sect."
"Master Tang is a genius, founding the Tang Sect and incurring the wrath of the Spirit Hall. This compensation is only fair."
"Who can argue with that? It's just that the current Pope of the Spirit Hall is a jealous woman." "
But with the Spirit Hall's complete withdrawal from the Heaven Dou Empire, what about the free awakenings and Soul Master subsidies?"
"Are you stupid? There's still the Tang Sect!"
"The Tang Sect can even train level 0 innate soul power into Soul Masters, what do they need your awakening?"
"The funding for free awakenings and Soul Master subsidies comes from the two great empires, okay?"
"Look! All the branch halls have changed their signs to Tang Sect Academy!"
"Wow! All Soul Master subsidies have doubled!"
"Really?"
"It's an official announcement, how could it be fake?"
"Master Tang is mighty!"
"Master Tang is awesome!!!"
Wielding the Tang Li newspaper as a powerful tool of public opinion,
coupled with promises of benefits to ordinary Soul Masters,
the handover of the branch halls went exceptionally smoothly.
There were those who refused to submit, and they died.
Those who could be dealt with were the best.
What couldn't be solved, Tang Lan resolved with a single Blood Escape Technique.
Two days later,
Tang Li's newspapers began diverting public attention with other topics.
[The Clear Sky Sect's Patriarch, Tang Chen, Invincible on Earth!]
[Unveiling Tang Chen: The Grand Elder of the Slaughter City! Traveling the Mortal Realm in Search of a Divine Successor!]
[Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu Drinking in Front of the Hall of Worship, Are They Friends or Foes?]
[The Rise of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School: Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Sword Shatters Bone Sorrow, Annihilating Elder Turtle Douluo of the Spirit Hall!]
[Tang Sect and Spirit Hall Collaborate on: Sect Ranking Competition in One Year!]
A series of gossip
quickly shifted people's attention, finding juicy gossip to enjoy!
And that wasn't enough.
[Tang Sect Firearms Show Their Power! Barrett Snipers the Ninth Elder of the Spirit Hall!]
[Tang San, Tang Shi's Brother, the First Five-Ring Soul King to Snipe a Title Douluo!]
[Tang San Obtains the Title: Sniper Douluo!] [
The first Title Douluo below level 90!]
Tang San bragged about it
endlessly, thoroughly satisfying his vanity. He
was practically floating all day.
However,
some strange voices also rang out.
"The Tang Sect of the Heaven Dou Empire versus the Spirit Hall of the Star Luo Empire, is this the start of a war?"
"Hey! What Star Luo Empire Spirit Hall?"
"Yeah! Our Star Luo Empire would love for the Tang Sect to settle in too!"
"The Spirit Hall can do anything, and the Tang Sect can do too. But the Spirit Hall can't. Who would you choose?"
"Do we even need to choose? Of course, double the subsidies!"
"Hey, you're really wise!"
Because of these double subsidies,
some commoner spirit masters were eager to travel to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Although the Spirit Hall was "in dire need of rebuilding," it was still working.
Soon, it reached an agreement with the Star Luo Empire.
The spirit master subsidies were doubled, which stabilized this wave of "spirit master outflow."
Amidst this barrage of activity,
the Elite Tournament, which was just about to determine the winners, attracted little attention.
Outside, chaos reigned.
Tang Lan and his group, the main characters, leisurely arrived near the Star Dou Spirit Pagoda.
Except for Tang Hao, who had been sent back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to reunite with Ah Yin,
everyone involved in the battle of Spirit City was here.
"Brother Lan, it's quite lively outside. Are we just going to walk slowly like this?" Ning Fengzhi asked doubtfully.
Tang Lan smiled mysteriously.
No explanation needed.
— With a storage ring and Blood Escape Technique, any number of people could be quickly teleported.
His deliberate delay in returning was naturally part of a plan.
But...
it wasn't appropriate to tell Ning Fengzhi.
"After such a great battle, it's good to relax and enjoy the scenery," Tang Lan joked, "and also give certain people a chance to jump out."
Ning Fengzhi's attention was entirely on the latter part of the sentence.
Certain people?
Now that the Tang Clan is at its zenith, who would dare to cause trouble?
The Tang Clan's rise has been rapid.
The only one they've offended is the White Tiger Sect, which has already been annexed.
What other enemies are there?
While pondering this
, a figure blocked the way in front of the group.
"The pressure is very strong!" Wang Dali shouted, "It's a Title Douluo!"
Instantly
, everyone looked on warily, preparing for battle.
But their expressions remained relatively relaxed.
This group, even if led by Qian Daoliu himself, could put up a fight.
The opponent was just one person, not worth fearing.
Tang Lan stepped out of the carriage and looked at the newcomer.
He was over two meters tall, with a broad back and a powerful build, his face chiseled beneath short, graying hair, his eyes gleaming and piercing.
He
summoned his martial soul, a provocative act that surprisingly put everyone at ease.
For
his martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer!
Throughout the world
, besides Tang Hao's lineage, the only other wielders of the Clear Sky Hammer could be the reclusive Clear Sky Sect, which had been hiding from the world for centuries.
"You've come to find me," Tang Lan said. "You all rest here, we'll set off again later."
He jumped off the carriage.
Using his spiritual power, Tang Lan floated to the middle-aged man.
"Which member of the Clear Sky Sect are you?" Tang Lan asked calmly.
The middle-aged man, who had been scrutinizing Tang Lan, smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.
"I am Tang Xiao, the current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, and also Tang Hao's older brother."
"You can call me Uncle."
To be honest,
Tang Lan didn't feel much about suddenly having an uncle who was a Title Douluo-level figure.
He no longer needs a Title Douluo as a backer.
The Tang Sect is also on the right track and about to develop rapidly.
Tang Xiao's appearance at this time
is not a good thing!
"Are you here to see your father?" Tang Lan asked politely. "I can give you your father's contact number."
This calm demeanor made Tang Xiao frown.
Tang Lan's attitude
was a bit off!
