Chapter 16 Six Years
Spirit City, Elder Hall.
In the conference room, more than twenty people sat around a huge round stone table.
Despite being a Title Douluo, Ling Yuan could only sit at the back of the round table.
Even Bibi Dong was not able to sit in the main seat.
The man sitting in the main seat was handsome and looked to be only in his thirties or forties, but his clothes were very simple.
Even so, the aura he exuded was so powerful that it inspired awe and reverence.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu's expression was not good. He did not expect that the ten Title Douluos he sent out would still fail to capture Tang Hao!
"I said long ago that Tang Hao is an extremely talented junior, and he is not someone that an ordinary Title Douluo can defeat."
Beside Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at him with some dissatisfaction.
Of all those present, only he possessed the strength and status to dare to criticize Qian Daoliu to his face.
"This plan should have been more meticulous, but your decision caused us to miss the opportunity to avenge the former pope!"
"Because of your so-called agreement with Tang Chen, we have lost a fellow countryman who was a Title Douluo!"
"After this battle, how will outsiders view our Spirit Hall?!"
Faced with Golden Crocodile Douluo's accusations, this level 99 Title Douluo was momentarily speechless.
Generally speaking, the seven elders of the Hall of Priests do not participate in the affairs of the Spirit Hall.
However, given the feud between Tang Hao and the former Pope, the seven elders also took it very seriously.
Now that the operation has ended in failure, the seven elders are getting restless.
Qian Daoliu subtly observed the elders present and noticed that although no one else had expressed their opinions, they had all inadvertently focused their attention on Golden Crocodile Douluo and Bibi Dong.
Clearly, these people all believe that Bibi Dong and Golden Crocodile Douluo were the ones who were right to take this action.
Seeing this, the strongest member of the Spirit Hall seemed to age twenty years in an instant.
Not only because he failed to avenge his son, but also because his mistakes caused him to lose prestige in the Elders' Hall.
Looking up at Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu's eyes held an indescribable emotion.
He knew very well that Bibi Dong was the real murderer of his son, and Tang Hao was just the fuse that led to Qian Xunji's death.
But he just couldn't bring himself to avenge Qian Xunji.
Because he knew how Qian Xunji had taken Bibi Dong. Qian Xunji deserved his fate.
In addition, she is one of only two relatives of his granddaughter.
He suspected that Bibi Dong was secretly manipulating the situation behind the failure of this operation, with the aim of weakening his own power.
On one hand, they wanted to support Bibi Dong, who had leadership abilities, to become the new pope of the Spirit Hall, while on the other hand, they felt they should be wary of Bibi Dong.
Caught between these two conflicting emotions, Qian Daoliu made a wrong judgment.
Qian Daoliu sighed softly, and then slowly spoke under the gaze of all the elders.
"I take full responsibility for this operation. From today onward, all affairs except for the Hall of Priests shall be entrusted to Bibi Dong."
This level 99 Title Douluo seemed to have used all his strength to utter those words.
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, the elders present all looked at him. Although they did not speak, the shock in their eyes was unmistakable.
Even Bibi Dong didn't expect that Qian Daoliu would relinquish his power so easily.
On the surface, she simply handed the task over to the Elders' Hall as requested, but in reality, Bibi Dong had already arranged the personnel for the operation long ago.
Those loyal to Bibi Dong only suffered minor injuries in this operation.
Those who are neutral may suffer varying degrees of injury.
The only Title Douluo who died in battle chose to side with Qian Daoliu.
Bibi Dong naturally wouldn't let someone like that stay.
However, Bibi Dong arranged it very subtly. Even though Qian Daoliu vaguely sensed that this was Bibi Dong's conspiracy, he had no evidence to prove it.
In some ways, Bibi Dong was even grateful to Tang Hao for giving her the opportunity to take revenge.
However, Tang Hao's stance meant that he would never belong to the Spirit Hall.
Tang Hao's existence is definitely a potential threat to the Spirit Hall's future.
According to Bibi Dong's plan of using one enemy to devour another, her original intention was to kill those who sided with Qian Daoliu, and at the same time kill Tang Hao, so that she could reap the benefits herself.
However, she underestimated Tang Hao's fighting strength, which is why Tang Hao escaped at the cost of serious injury.
Although Golden Crocodile Douluo was equally shocked by Qian Daoliu's arrangement, he did not stop it.
After all, the Hall of Priests has the decision-making power of the Elders, and even the Pope can abolish it.
Moreover, they have witnessed Bibi Dong's abilities firsthand, and they are very optimistic that she can lead the Spirit Hall to new heights.
"By the way, I heard you took in a disciple with the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit? This disciple not only has innate full soul power, but also possesses the Clear Sky Hammer intent?"
These priests were informed of Bibi Dong's acceptance of disciples immediately.
The fact that Qin Mu possessed the intent of the Clear Sky Hammer shocked Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo.
After all, the two of them are among the very few people in the world who truly understand the destructive power of the Clear Sky Hammer.
Especially Qian Daoliu, when facing Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer Intent, even if Qian Daoliu used all his means, he still had to avoid its edge.
Therefore, upon hearing that Qin Mu possessed the intent of the Clear Sky Hammer, Qian Daoliu would have even wanted to personally teach Qin Mu if it weren't for the regulations of the Hall of Priests.
"We must provide this disciple with the best resources from the Spirit Hall so that he can grow up as quickly as possible!"
...
In less than a day, the best treatment given to Qin Mu at the Elders' Meeting had already been implemented.
The message spread instantly throughout the Spirit Hall Academy and the Elder Hall.
For a time, not only were the students of the Spirit Hall Academy very curious about Qin Mu, but even some Title Douluo elders who had never seen Qin Mu before couldn't help but become interested in him.
Just how talented must a child be to have their name mentioned in the Hall of Elders?
Qin Mu was indeed somewhat surprised by the Spirit Hall's arrangements at first.
However, after he learned about the rarity of the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit with innate full soul power and the Clear Sky Hammer Intent, he no longer felt there was anything inappropriate about it.
After all, in this world, having talent gives you more possibilities than others.
Six years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Most of the elders of the Spirit Hall liked Qin Mu very much.
On the one hand, Qin Mu was studious and serious, and he had no airs of a genius. He also respected the elders very much.
On the other hand, these elders also wanted to know how far the Clear Sky Hammer, which was born with full soul power, could ultimately grow.
But Qin Mu wasn't so popular with his peers.
Qin Mu's behavior was just like that of someone else's child.
The better he performs, the more he will be used as a role model by the teachers of the Spirit Hall Academy.
This resulted in the fact that even though Qin Mu's personality wasn't unpleasant, few people were willing to be his friends.
Fortunately, Qin Mu had spent a long time like this in his childhood, and having lived two lives, he naturally disdained to associate with these teenagers.
During these six years of cultivation, Qin Mu not only cultivated his soul power to level 30, but also learned some theoretical knowledge and pharmacological knowledge about Spirits.
