Chapter 6: Qianxun's Soul Power Reaches Level 100; Yu Xiaogang Snatches Food in the Slums.
In the blink of an eye.
Soon it arrived that the Spirit Hall would hold its elder ceremony.
[Sign-in complete today. Soul Power level +1. Host's current Soul Power level is 100.]
Qian Xunji looked up at the system's notification and subconsciously looked up. He saw that the originally cloudless sky had quickly darkened, and a large number of clouds began to gather above the Spirit Hall. A terrifying sense of oppression permeated the entire Spirit City and continued to spread outward.
At this moment, the people from various forces who had arrived in Wuhun City early looked up at the sky in horror.
What's going on?
Emperor Xueye asked in confusion, and his personal guards immediately surrounded him to protect his safety.
Ning Fengzhi frowned as he looked at the sky and muttered, "Such a strong sense of oppression!"
"Hmm, it seems like the sky is about to fall!" Sword Douluo said with a solemn expression.
Tang Zhen, the current sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect and father of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, was equally puzzled. To ordinary people, this situation might just be bad weather, but the powerful sense of oppression could only be perceived by high-level Soul Masters.
What exactly is up there?
Tang Zhen narrowed his eyes, trying to see what was behind the clouds.
"I have a feeling that someone is watching us from behind those clouds!"
Sword Douluo said softly, "Do you feel this way too?"
The clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, as if they were about to press down. Even the enshrined figures in the temple, such as Qian Daoliu and Jin E, couldn't help but appear, looking at the sky with solemn expressions.
"Disperse!"
Sudden.
A soft shout came from the Papal Palace.
The sound, carrying powerful soul force, shot straight into the sky, causing the thick clouds to stop instantly and then slowly dissipate.
In the blink of an eye, the sky became cloudless again, and the good weather returned.
All eyes turned to the direction of the Papal Palace, where Qian Xunji slowly walked out, followed by elders such as Yue Guan Gui Mei.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there's been a little mishap. Please take your seats!"
Qian Xunji's voice was very soft, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
Only after Qian Xunji sat down on the high papal throne did the various factions on the viewing platform take their seats.
Golden Crocodile Douluo then said, "Great Elder, His Holiness the Pope's soul power level has increased quite a bit!"
"Hmm, I wonder what good thing happened to this kid recently."
Qian Daoliu turned and walked back into the Hall of Worship. A simple ceremony to confer the title of Elder was not enough to make him appear.
At this moment, the people from all the major forces on the viewing platform looked at Qian Xunji in shock, calculating his current strength in their hearts.
"Uncle Jian, what do you think His Holiness the Pope's soul power level is right now?"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly asked.
Jian Chen looked at Qian Xunji on the high platform. The other party was leaning lazily on the papal chair, but he gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
"I don't know! But if it comes to a fight, I'm no match for him!"
Jian Chen said.
Tang Zhen of the Haotian Sect crossed his arms and said after a long while, "Qian Xunji's strength has improved a lot again!"
Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family sat in place, his expression shifting.
He had heard a little about the affair between Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, but he didn't want to get involved, since Yu Xiaogang had already been expelled from the family.
But now, Qian Xunji's powerful strength has forced him to re-examine his attitude. If he continues to play dumb, what kind of blow will his family suffer?
"Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing, couldn't he just be an ordinary person? Why does he have to cause me trouble!"
Yu Yuanzhen murmured.
"We can't continue to ignore this; we must take action!"
Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, was sitting to the left of Qian Xunji, her head bowed and her fists clenched.
According to her original calculations, it would only take her five or six years to gain sufficient strength, at which point she could find an opportunity to strike and kill Qian Xunji.
But Qian Xunji's strength today exceeded her expectations, so the time had to be extended several times over!
"I'm so unwilling to accept this!"
Bibi Dong clenched her teeth so hard they made a grinding sound.
...
soon.
The ceremony for appointing elders begins.
Dugu Bo slowly walked out under everyone's gaze and knelt on one knee in the center of Papal Square.
"Your subordinate, Dugu Bo, greets Your Highness the Pope!"
Qian Xunji got up, walked down the platform step by step, stood in front of Dugu Bo, and helped him up.
At this moment, a person carrying a tray came up, with a Spirit Hall elder token in the center of the tray. One side had the Spirit Hall's logo, and the other side now had the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's logo.
"Elder Dugu, from this moment forward, you are officially the seventh elder of my Spirit Hall..."
As he spoke.
Qian Xunji handed the elder's token to Dugu Bo, who respectfully accepted it and knelt on one knee once more.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After the ceremony ended, Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief; he really didn't want to be there.
Without waiting for anyone else to come and congratulate him, Dugu Bo immediately left and returned to his residence to begin researching methods to detoxify the snake venom in his body.
As night fell, the various factions gradually left the Spirit Hall.
Yu Yuanzhen then walked up to Qian Xunji and said, "Your Holiness the Pope."
"Master Yu? Is there anything else?" Qian Xunji asked.
Yu Yuanzhen said in a low voice, "The Papal Palace is small, I have come to apologize!"
"Oh? I wonder what crime Patriarch Yu has committed?" Qian Xunji asked knowingly.
Yu Yuanzhen sighed, "Yu Xiaogang, the rebellious son who was expelled from the family, somehow tricked the Holy Maiden, causing a rift between His Holiness the Pope and the Holy Maiden."
"Although my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has long since severed ties with Yu Xiaogang, we are still responsible and have come here to apologize!"
Qian Xunji laughed and said, "Patriarch Yu, this Pope is not an unreasonable person. Yu Xiaogang's matter has nothing to do with you, right?"
"Yes!" Yu Yuanzhen said, "The Pope is wise."
Qian Xunji said calmly, "I have already punished Yu Xiaogang. As long as he doesn't bother the Holy Maiden again in the future, it's not a big deal."
"I understand!"
Yu Yuanzhen immediately replied.
"Alright, this Pope is tired today, you should leave now!"
Qianxunji said directly.
The smile on Yu Yuanzhen's face vanished instantly after he stepped out of the Spirit Hall.
"Have you found that rebellious son, Yu Xiaogang?"
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family immediately said, "Returning home, Master, we've found them."
Yu Yuanzhen's carriage slowly departed and appeared a moment later in the slums outside Wuhun City.
Yu Xiaogang was fighting with a group of people in the slums for food on the ground. Just as he was about to squeeze in, he was pulled out by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
What are you doing?
Yu Xiaogang said anxiously.
He hadn't had a proper meal in ages and was practically starving. Today, he finally swallowed his pride and came to grab some food, but just as he was about to succeed, someone pulled him out.
