"Damn it, this disgrace to the Sect has already been expelled, yet he can still bring trouble to the Sect. And that bastard born from him and that monstrous Spirit Beast has even become a Fallen Soul Master, completely shaming the Sect."
The Seventh Elder, who was at odds with Tang Hao, raged, directly cursing in front of everyone without any reservation.
"The body is incomplete, six Spirit Bones were dug out, which means those two Sect Inheritances are also lost." The Fourth Elder frowned, "Given the Sect's current situation, it's absolutely impossible to make Dugu Bo and that Silver Spear Douluo return them. Moreover, Tang Hao's actions have clearly angered the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
"This inspection of the Moon Pavilion is clearly a warning."
"Shi Quan's reputation in the Spirit Master's world is extremely high now. Everyone is Cultivating the Zhou Tian Cultivation Method he developed, and they naturally understand its value. In other words, Shi Quan has led the entire Spirit Master's world to take a big step forward. Tang Hao's actions have undoubtedly angered the entire Spirit Master's world."
"There are also many more active people outside the Sect recently than before. Clearly, these people are all here to monitor us."
"The Sect's reputation is already low due to its seclusion, and its prestige has already dropped significantly. If there is any slight movement at this time, the entire Sect's reputation will be ruined in an instant, and it will also be linked to Fallen Soul Masters."
"We cannot make any moves right now, otherwise the Sect will be in a situation of being attacked from all sides." The Second Elder slowly spoke.
As he said this, the eyes of the many Elders fell on Tang Xiao. They all knew that Tang Xiao was the most heartbroken by Tang Hao's death. Their biggest worry now was that Tang Xiao would make another mistake at this time.
"Grand Elder, you can make the decision." Tang Xiao slowly stood up and walked towards a side door with a somewhat dejected expression.
"Sigh, let Xiao'er be alone for a while." The Grand Elder shook his head.
"That damned Tang Hao, if it weren't for him, would the Sect be like this? If only he knew a little about what was important, it wouldn't be like this." The Seventh Elder still didn't forget to belittle Tang Hao.
"Sigh, he's already dead, there's no point in saying more. Everyone, manage your own Disciples well. At this special time, absolutely no other incidents must occur." The Grand Elder shook his head, stood up, and turned to walk out of the deliberation hall.
The other Elders also dispersed one by one, with various expressions.
Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Tang Hao actually died just like that?" Bibi Dong looked at the incoming report in surprise, her gaze falling on the Silver Spear Douluo Gu Yuena mentioned in the report.
"Tang Hao's strength is extraordinary, and this Gu Yuena's strength is probably extraordinary. Could it be a subordinate secretly trained by that old fellow?" Bibi Dong looked towards the Consecration Hall.
This suddenly appearing powerhouse could even cooperate with Dugu Bo to kill Tang Hao. The only person Bibi Dong could think of was Qian Daoliu.
Besides Qian Daoliu being able to Cultivate such a powerful subordinate, she really couldn't think of anyone else.
"Six Spirit Bones, in that case, the Consecration Hall's strength will increase by quite a bit." A rare hint of anger appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes.
"However, this Shi Quan is quite valuable."
Even Bibi Dong had to admit that the Spirit Master theories Shi Quan published, especially the Zhou Tian Cultivation Method, made her feel quite experienced.
"The early bird catches the worm, consider yourself lucky." There was a hint of helplessness in Bibi Dong's eyes.
If anyone else controlled Shi Quan, she would have sent assassins long ago.
But Shi Quan was good friends with Qian Renxue, and from the news Qian Renxue sent, Shi Quan already knew her identity.
In such a situation, Shi Quan was half a Spirit Hall person, and she had even less reason to act.
Heaven Dou Empire, Dugu Courtyard.
Ye Lingling's excited voice came, "Shi Quan, I'm Rank fifty-six!"
Shi Quan poked his head out from behind layers of stacked books and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad."
After the Nine Heart Begonia Family incident, Ye Lingling's mind became clear. With the help of Shi Quan's Child of Destiny aura, her Cultivation speed increased even more rapidly.
As for Shi Quan, he no longer needed to Cultivate intentionally. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi would continuously flow into his body, increasing his strength, just like having an automatic Cultivation cheat enabled.
Not having to worry about Cultivation issues also gave Shi Quan more time to research various things.
Especially with the protection of Dugu Bo and Gu Yuena, as long as the One Qi Transforming into Three Purities Divine Ability cooled down, Shi Quan would directly split into three, with three of himself researching simultaneously.
Besides familiarizing himself with his Spirit Abilities, Shi Quan's main directions now were threefold.
The first was the research of soul spirits.
The second was the research of Cultivation Techniques and martial arts.
The third was the research of spirit tools and firearms.
The order of priority was from first to third.
The research of spirit tools was mainly to deal with Emperor Xue Ye, and if successful, it would also help Xue Qinghe inherit the throne.
Gu Yuena was not interested in Shi Quan's various researches before, but after seeing the uniqueness of soul spirits, it also sparked her interest.
After all, soul spirits were superior to spirit rings, caused relatively less harm to Spirit Beasts, and were a spirit ring substitute that maximized the Spirit Master's ability improvement.
High-Rank soul spirits could simultaneously grant a Spirit Master multiple spirit rings and Spirit Abilities. If Legacy could be achieved, the Spirit Master's slaughter of Spirit Beasts would be greatly reduced.
Shi Quan's attainments in the Soul and spiritual aspects completely relied on the Soul Martial Spirit. Because he already had a soul spirit in his body, Shi Quan's original plan was to deduce the method of soul spirits based on existing soul spirits.
After some research, there were gains, but they were always limited.
But with Gu Yuena's addition, relying on her understanding of Spirit Beasts and her attainments in the Soul aspect, the research on soul spirits slowly began to make effective progress.
Star Luo Empire.
Defense Clan, Niu Gao.
Speed Clan, Bai He.
Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi.
The three Clans gathered here after receiving news of Tang Hao's death.
"To ambush and kill a junior in a private residence, how could he even think of it? It's simply disgraceful!" Yang Wudi's angry voice came, "Clear Sky Douluo? With such a petty act, does he even deserve to inherit the name of Clear Sky?"
"He deserved to die now."
"Also, that Old orangutan is also muddle-headed. He actually dared to collect Tang Hao's body. Now his entire Strength Clan is being targeted by the Heaven Dou Empire, and I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire Strength Clan also declines."
After speaking, Yang Wudi turned to look at Bai He, whose face showed a hint of sadness, then continued to scold, "Bai He, and you, snap out of it! Don't you see what a mess your Speed Clan has become? Among our four Clans, you at least have some Bloodline connection with the Tang Clan. For so many years, has the Clear Sky Sect ever cared about you? If it weren't for our help, you wouldn't even be able to afford food."
"They don't even consider us important, yet you all keep thinking about them."
"Old goat, say less." Seeing Bai He's face flush slightly, and with this stance, Yang Wudi was about to start scolding himself, Niu Gao quickly spoke up, then turned his head, "Old White Bird, although Old goat's words are unpleasant, they are rough but reasonable. From now on, it's better for us to draw a clear line with the Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Sect itself is in danger now, and as for Tang San being a Fallen Soul Master, Old goat knows best, it's absolutely true. It couldn't be more true."
"Moreover, because Old orangutan collected Tang Hao's body, our four great Families have once again been noticed. I think these past few days, you should have also noticed the impact of Tang Hao's matter on us."
Currently, in the outside world, talking about Tang Hao brings curses, while talking about Shi Quan brings praise.
Because Tai Tan collected Tang Hao's body, it was spread by some interested parties, saying that the four Clans were still loyal to the Clear Sky Sect.
This also caused people's disgust for Tang Hao to shift to them.
Their lives were already difficult, and now, due to Tang Hao's involvement, their lives have become even harder.
Just as Yang Wudi said, if it weren't for Yang Wudi's assistance, their Clan truly wouldn't even be able to afford food.
"Old Rhino, Old goat, I understand what you're saying. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Listening to their persuasion, and thinking about his current predicament, Bai He could only nod with a bitter smile.
"Good that you understand." Yang Wudi looked at Niu Gao with satisfaction, then nodded at Bai He, "You also know about Tang San using his external Spirit Bone's Devour ability to damage people's Foundation in the Spirit Master Tournament, right? I've treated many people, and these situations are all true. The matter of him being a Fallen Soul Master is set in stone, there's no faking it."
"So this time, if we're going to cut ties, let's do it cleanly. After you go back, each of you issue a statement to avoid getting into trouble."
Yang Wudi's knowledge of pharmacology was extremely strong. After Tang San's Life force devouring incident occurred, some people from the Star Luo Empire came to him for treatment. Fortunately, the amount devoured was not much, and it was discovered in time, so he managed to cure them with great effort. After the news spread, many people who had been devoured by Tang San came knocking on his door with hope.
Except for some particularly severe cases that he truly couldn't treat, he tried his best to save the others. He also made a considerable profit from this and his reputation in the Star Luo Empire rose rapidly.
He originally thought he would live a good Life, but now, because of Tang Hao's matter, it was directly spread that they and Tang San had a connection, and that Tang San told him the treatment method, which was why he could cure people.
His hard-earned reputation directly collapsed. If it weren't for the people he knew in the Star Luo Empire knowing that he deeply detested the Clear Sky Sect, otherwise, just based on these rumors, their Breaking Clan would definitely suffer heavy losses.
This was also one of the reasons why Yang Wudi was so angry at this gathering. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, but Tai Tan collecting a body caused his Breaking Clan to once again suffer the unwarranted disaster of rumors.
Bai He nodded, no longer saying anything.
"Alright, alright." Niu Gao interjected, patting both of their shoulders, "Old goat, I know your Clan has been most affected by this matter, and you've been extremely troubled by Family affairs recently. We've also understood the stakes this time. It's not easy to gather, so tonight, let's brothers have a good drink. Let's not talk about these bothersome things."
Under Niu Gao's soothing, the gloomy atmosphere in the room dissipated, leaving only the scent of wine…
