Douluo Dalu: This Soul Master is to Weird

Yesterday, upon receiving the news that Salas had sent people to assassinate Mu Yang, Dugu Bo nearly jumped in fury.

After all, Mu Yang's third soul skill, Jade Detoxifying Ginseng, was directly related to the survival of both him and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan!

Salas dared to send people to assassinate Mu Yang—if he succeeded, where would Dugu Bo ever find another soul master capable of detoxifying a Title Douluo?

Just for this reason alone, Dugu Bo found Salas particularly displeasing and wished he could smash his head in.

"That's right, Poison Douluo makes sense. Committing murder in Heaven Dou City twice in a row—this cannot be forgiven," Huo Lie nodded in agreement.

He hadn't raised much noise about yesterday's assassination attempt because he was well aware that Spirit Hall had the greater power, and his Blazing Academy was no match for them. He had no choice but to endure.

However, Huo Lie never expected that Salas would be so audacious as to act again the very next day.

This was enough for him to realize that his previous endurance was useless—it only made Salas see Blazing Academy as an easy target, a soft persimmon that Spirit Hall could squeeze at will.

Because of this, Huo Lie felt that Blazing Academy had to retaliate, to wake Salas up and make him think twice before taking action in the future.

"Poison Douluo, Tyrant Dragon Douluo, there's one thing I haven't had time to tell you.

In the storage soul tools of the two red-clothed bishops killed by Sword Douluo, we found the corpses of a purple-clothed bishop and a black-clothed bishop.

Based on my past impression of Salas, today's assassination was probably not orchestrated by the Heaven Dou Spirit Hall," Emperor Xue Ye said slowly.

Of course, what he didn't say was that even considering Tang San's displayed talent, it wasn't enough for Salas to ignore his and Ning Fengzhi's warnings and brazenly take action again.

After all, if someone broke the rules for the first time, Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might step back considering Spirit Hall's strength.

But anyone with a brain would understand that such things cannot be tolerated a second time.

Even if Spirit Hall was overwhelmingly powerful, they had to resist. They couldn't afford to retreat twice—otherwise, once they did, there would be a third time, a fourth time, and countless more.

What was that saying again? Ah, a cornered dog will jump over the wall!

Although the analogy might not be entirely appropriate, the reasoning was sound.

Salas wasn't stupid—he would have understood this.

"Oh? There's more to this?"

Raising an eyebrow, Huo Lie was slightly surprised.

"If it wasn't Spirit Hall, could it have been orchestrated by the Star Luo Empire?

Maybe these two red-clothed bishops were actually spies planted by Star Luo in the Heaven Dou Spirit Hall?

They might have planned this assassination to create an irreconcilable conflict between the empire and Spirit Hall, so they could sit back and watch the show," Qian Renxue speculated.

Regardless of whether Spirit Hall was behind this or not, as the Young Master of Spirit Hall, she had to do everything possible to distance them from this incident.

"Qinghe's reasoning is not without merit," Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment and found this theory quite plausible.

After all, Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect feared Spirit Hall, but Spirit Hall also didn't want to tear its relationship with them apart.

However, Chen Xin shook his head and disagreed.

"This still doesn't make sense. I admit that Tang San's talent is outstanding, but it's not worth the Star Luo Empire exposing and sacrificing two undercover agents just to frame Spirit Hall.

And it's also not worth Spirit Hall risking a complete fallout with us just to target him.

If Spirit Hall was truly behind this, then their actual target must be Tyrant Dragon's relative.

Since they have already offended him once, Spirit Hall wouldn't mind doing it again. Moreover, the young talents of Blazing Academy and Sky Water Academy do indeed have remarkable potential.

If the Star Luo Empire was behind this, their real goal would have been to make us and Spirit Hall fight to the death.

In that case, they wouldn't have chosen Tang San as the target—but rather Rongrong.

Compared to Rongrong, what background does Tang San even have?"

Tang Hao: Are you saying my son has no background?

"Sword Douluo has a point. But if it wasn't Spirit Hall, and it wasn't the Star Luo Empire, then who could be behind this?"

Tapping his fingers against the armrest, Emperor Xue Ye asked in confusion.

Mu Yang: Not to brag, but that would be me!

At that moment, Huo Lie spoke up.

"In my opinion, whether or not Spirit Hall was behind this, Salas must be the culprit."

Since they couldn't determine the real mastermind, they could only pin it on Salas.

After all, Salas already had a record, and the assassins were red-clothed bishops of Heaven Dou Spirit Hall.

It should be noted that within the hierarchy of Heaven Dou Spirit Hall, red-clothed bishops were already high-ranking officials, second only to Salas, the Platinum Bishop and Hall Master.

Moreover, with two consecutive assassination attempts, someone had to be held accountable.

And Salas, as the Hall Master of Heaven Dou Spirit Hall, was the perfect scapegoat.

Of course, Huo Lie had his own personal reasons too.

Salas sent people to assassinate my nephew. Who else would I go after but him?

"Here's what we'll do—detain Salas first. After the empire communicates with Spirit Hall, we'll decide how to handle him," Emperor Xue Ye finally made a decision.

After all, Salas wasn't just anyone—he represented Spirit Hall's authority. Executing him outright wasn't an option.

However, Emperor Xue Ye could already foresee that once Salas was blamed for this, Spirit Hall would not allow him to live.

To the world at large, Spirit Hall still had a good reputation.

If someone like Salas, who had committed such underhanded acts, continued to hold a high-ranking position, it would only tarnish Spirit Hall's image.

At that moment, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted outside the palace.

In an instant, disregarding formalities, Chen Xin, Huo Lie, and Dugu Bo immediately flashed to the window, leaped out, and soared into the sky.

Under the bright moonlight, they looked toward the southern-central part of Heaven Dou City—where Heaven Dou Spirit Hall was located.

There, in the sky, a massive black figure appeared, encircled by yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red soul rings.

In the hands of this enormous black figure was a gigantic hammer, radiating dark light and as large as a mountain.

"That's… Clear Sky True Form! A Hundred-thousand-year ninth soul ring… Tang Hao?!"

Seeing the gigantic Hao Tian True Form, Chen Xin couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Even though he couldn't see the person's face clearly, Chen Xin immediately recognized that this was Tang Hao.

After all, in the entire world, the only people with a Hundred-thousand-year ninth soul ring on a Clear Sky Hammer were either Tang Chen—who had vanished for years—or Tang Hao himself!

The next moment, the massive Clear Sky True Form raised its colossal hammer and smashed it down toward Heaven Dou Spirit Hall.
