Sure enough, it was Tang San… Jiang Chen thought.
Time flew by quickly; he hadn't expected Tang San to have already come out of the Slaughter City.
It had already been four years since the Soul Master Tournament.
If nothing unexpected happened, Tang San should currently be at the Soul King level of cultivation.
What use would a Soul King-level cultivation have in the upcoming chaotic world?
"Little Chen, what's wrong?" Qian Renxue asked when she saw Jiang Chen showing curiosity toward a stranger.
Jiang Chen waved his hand, instructing Hu Liena to take Little Xue Ning downstairs before saying, "That Tang Yin is Tang San."
Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised. "Didn't you say he went to the Slaughter City?"
Jiang Chen nodded. "He stayed inside for two years and probably rushed straight to Heaven Dou City after coming out."
Qian Renxue frowned. "What is he doing in Heaven Dou City?"
"To dispel the slaughter qi from his body. After coming out of the Slaughter City, the slaughter aura on his body is difficult to control, and his own emotions will constantly be affected by the killing intent."
Qian Renxue suddenly understood. "No wonder he went to Yuexuan. The master of Yuexuan, Tang Yuehua, is Tang Hao's younger sister, which makes her Tang San's aunt. Learning noble etiquette and music can indeed eliminate the viciousness in a person and bring them back to tranquility."
Suddenly, her heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Will Xue Ning be in danger staying there?"
"Don't worry, Tang San doesn't know that Xue Ning is our daughter. You really become slow-witted the moment you think about our daughter."
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen and didn't argue with him.
"The Soul Hunting Operation is about to begin. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan still can't escape the fate of destruction." She sighed somewhat emotionally.
They had received news from the Papal Palace today that Bibi Dong was already planning the Soul Hunting Operation, officially firing the first shot in the unification of the continent.
Under the covert development of these past few years, the Spirit Hall had already accumulated terrifying strength. It would either remain still or move with earth-shattering force.
Before the great war, they needed a force to serve as a sacrificial flag to establish their might. The stubborn and unyielding Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was the first choice.
As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's strength could not be underestimated. If the Spirit Hall wanted to launch a war, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had to be dealt with first.
The two Title Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan were extremely powerful existences: the Bone Douluo with his incomparably bizarre attacks, and the Sword Douluo known as the strongest in attack.
These two were currently at level 95 and level 96 respectively. With the amplification from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's sect master Ning Fengzhi, they would need at least four Title Douluo of similar ranks to contend against them.
In addition, the number of external soul masters attached to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan exceeded three thousand. Adding the clan's own direct disciples and the soul masters they had trained themselves, their total number of soul masters could reach as many as five thousand.
In the current soul master world, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan could absolutely be called a terrifyingly powerful major force.
In terms of the number of soul masters they possessed, the other six major sects could not even begin to compare.
In terms of wealth, the total assets of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan were probably greater than those of the other six major sects combined.
Therefore, if the Spirit Hall wanted to launch a continental war, they must first remove this thorn in their side, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan could stab the Spirit Hall in the back at any time.
If they could successfully take down the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, the Spirit Hall would also obtain vast war resources.
Jiang Chen said, "It's not like we didn't give them a chance. A year ago, Teacher personally sent an elder to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, only to be met with endless mockery and ridicule inside."
Qian Renxue sighed. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan has started to become arrogant. After the Heaven Dou Empire unified its territory, they believed that with their own strength plus the increasingly powerful Heaven Dou Empire, they were enough to contend against the Spirit Hall."
Jiang Chen added, "But they didn't expect that the Heaven Dou Empire already belongs to the Spirit Hall."
Qian Renxue nodded. "Mom told you to go back. When do you plan to leave?"
"Tomorrow," Jiang Chen said.
This time for the Soul Hunting Operation, Bibi Dong had specifically named him to participate.
Although Jiang Chen had made many great contributions to the Spirit Hall over the years, such as providing pills and subduing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he had not yet achieved any battlefield merits.
Compared to his previous contributions, earning battlefield merits would undoubtedly allow him to rapidly increase his prestige and win the conviction of a large number of soul masters in the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong was also paving the way for Jiang Chen to inherit the position of Pope.
"What about this Tang San? Really no need to pay him any attention?" Qian Renxue asked.
"No need. He can't stir up any waves." Jiang Chen didn't take Tang San to heart.
The current Tang San posed no threat to him at all. Even with those powerful hidden weapons added in, Jiang Chen still didn't take him seriously.
"After I leave, I'll leave Xue Ning in your and Senior Sister's care."
Qian Renxue smiled. "Don't worry, I won't let her go hungry."
Jiang Chen glanced toward the next room and laughed. "She's already asleep. I'll call Senior Sister over. Before leaving, let me dote on you two some more."
Qian Renxue ignored him, her face slightly flushed as she got up to make the bed.
…
The next morning, Jiang Chen set off on the road back to Spirit City.
Accompanying him was the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. In this Soul Hunting Plan, Dugu Bo was one of the most crucial parts.
In terms of poison ability, Jiang Chen's corpse poison was already more terrifying than Poison Douluo's poison.
However, in terms of large-scale destructive power, Poison Douluo far surpassed Jiang Chen. Among Title Douluo, it was hard to find anyone comparable to Poison Douluo in this aspect.
More importantly, Dugu Bo was currently an honored guest elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Over the past year, he had visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan several times and had earned their deep trust.
The two abandoned the carriage and rushed on the road relying on their own speed.
When Jiang Chen had just broken through to Soul King, his speed, which had already reached the Soul Douluo level, had astonished Dugu Bo.
Now, as a Soul Saint, Jiang Chen's soul power had increased by more than twenty ranks, and his speed was no slower than Dugu Bo's.
It was just that in terms of endurance, Dugu Bo's deeper soul power still gave him the advantage.
In merely two days, they traveled from Heaven Dou City back to Spirit City.
Inside the council hall of the Papal Palace, the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall had gathered.
Bibi Dong sat upright on the high papal throne. Several years had passed, yet time had left no trace on her.
She was still that peerlessly beautiful Pope who appeared to be in her late twenties, wearing magnificent palace attire, a phoenix crown on her head, and holding a gem-encrusted scepter.
Jiang Chen sat on the throne beside her, this was at her request.
Jiang Chen was still the Holy Son, yet he could sit on the papal throne. This showed his position in Bibi Dong's heart; the next Pope's position was already unshakable.
On both sides of the throne sat Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
On the lower sides of the hall sat the eighteen elders of the Spirit Hall.
Over these years, another elder had emerged from the Spirit Hall's original soul masters.
The newly joined Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had also added two Title Douluo—the clan's Second Elder and Third Elder.
Together with several elders currently carrying out missions outside, the Spirit Hall's strength had once again reached its peak.
The reason the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was able to produce two Title Douluo so quickly was thanks to Jiang Chen's efforts.
Ever since he discovered that his tribulation lightning energy could improve Yu Tianheng's aptitude, he had bestowed a portion of tribulation lightning energy upon the clan's Second and Third Elders.
Compared to the lightning-type soul power within these veteran Soul Douluo powerhouses, that portion of tribulation lightning energy wasn't particularly strong, but its quality was countless times superior and carried the aura of heavenly tribulation, enough to cause a mutation in the soul power within these veteran powerhouses.
This miraculous energy of Jiang Chen's made the powerhouses of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan completely envious.
However, he had not bestowed too much and had stated that in the future, if they wanted to obtain such energy, they would have to exchange it with meritorious deeds.
In the lower part of the hall, the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and his two Title Douluo elders were prominently present.
Bibi Dong's majestic gaze swept across them. "For this Soul Hunting Operation, besides Elder Dugu, we still need four elders at level 94 or 95. Who is willing to go into battle?"
As soon as her words fell, all the elders at level 94 and above stood up one after another in a rush.
Yu Yuanzhen, who had already reached level 96, also stood up with a slight flush on his aged face.
