Chapter 243 The Continent Shakes

Eighty percent of the Soul Masters and ninety percent of the common people felt extremely angry about this matter. Although the Spirit Hall has indeed become a bit arrogant in recent years, and many scoundrels from the Spirit Hall have tarnished its image.

But that was a long time ago. The Spirit Hall has now purged those corrupt elements, and those remaining are mostly dedicated and responsible individuals. Tang Hao's audacity in attempting an assassination has enraged many, leading numerous Soul Masters to petition the Spirit Hall to hunt down Tang Hao and avenge the innocent victims.

Although the Spirit Hall's Spirit Daily has only been around for a few years, the credibility of its contents is 100%. Some people who wanted to provoke or criticize the Spirit Daily investigated the events it published and found that everything in it was factual, without the slightest exaggeration or false reporting.

That's why, after this explosive news broke, almost no one on the mainland questioned the veracity of the news.

The newspaper also revealed a huge bounty from the Spirit Hall: ten million gold soul coins for anyone who killed Tang Hao. Even Ning Fengzhi was tempted by the reward, but he quickly suppressed his greed.

Tang Hao is quite strong, and he's a lone wolf. If his pursuers are weak, he can't win; if they are strong, Tang Hao might escape before he can.

If Tang Hao manages to escape during the operation, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will never have a peaceful life again. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's foundation is there, and it would be easy for Tang Hao to retaliate, but it would be very difficult for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to defend itself, given the sheer number of its assets!

Besides, Ning Fengzhi also wanted to give Haotian Sect some face. Although Haotian Sect had closed its mountain, everyone knew that Haotian Sect would not let it go so easily. Once Haotian Sect had accumulated enough strength, it would be time for Haotian Sect to emerge from the mountain.

In addition to publishing Tang Hao's evil deeds in the Spirit Daily, various levels of the Spirit Hall also issued announcements: The Titan of the Power Clan harbored the evil spirit master Tang Hao and refused to hand him over under the threat of the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall has already exterminated the entire Power Clan. If the evil spirit master Tang Hao dares to destroy another Spirit Hall, they will slaughter another affiliated family of the Clear Sky Sect. After four Spirit Halls, they will attack the Clear Sky Sect and destroy it.

When Tang Hao saw the announcement, he was filled with uncontrollable anger, but he had to suppress it. After all, he had already let down the Clear Sky Sect and the four affiliated sects, and he couldn't cause them any more trouble.

Tang Hao was well aware that in the Spirit Daily, the Spirit Hall not only glorified Pope Qian Xunji and portrayed the pursuit of him and his wife as a righteous act, but also systematically and logically damaged his reputation. It would be extremely difficult for Tang Hao to reappear in the world in the future.

The Spirit Hall fabricated three major charges against Tang Hao. First, his fondness for spirit beasts and fathering a child with one was his first crime. Second, his collusion with spirit beasts to murder the former Pope Qian Xunji, making him a traitor, was his second crime. Third, his slaughter of innocent civilians, nobles, and members of the Spirit Hall, constituting the actions of an evil spirit master, was his third crime. These three charges utterly humiliated Tang Hao, but he was powerless to do anything about it. Tang Hao knew very well that if he dared to appear openly, the Spirit Hall would undoubtedly mobilize a large number of Title Douluos to hunt him down!

...

After seeing the information released by the Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi came to the Heaven Dou Palace to meet Emperor Xue Ye once again. When Ning Fengzhi arrived, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was already in Xue Ye's palace, holding a newspaper in his hand.

After Ning Fengzhi sat down, Emperor Xueye asked, "How likely do you think it is that Tang Hao is a traitor?"

"Although I don't like the Spirit Hall very much, the Spirit Hall's Spirit Daily is very reliable. I also investigated what happened back then, and it was similar to what was written in the Spirit Daily."

Furthermore, the Spirit Hall would not lie about Tang Hao's wife's identity, since lying about such a thing would be easily exposed, and the people of the Spirit Hall would not do such a thing.

Besides, according to intelligence from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Tang Hao was only an eight-ring Soul Douluo when he was being hunted down, but after the final battle, he became the youngest Title Douluo on the continent. Therefore, it's absolutely certain that Tang Hao's wife is a Soul Beast.

"Moreover, the Spirit Hall provided evidence: the letter of denunciation was sent by someone back then. I've also met Tang Hao's wife; she already had the cultivation of an eight-ring Soul Douluo. Since Tang Hao's wife was a soul beast in human form, she had already entered maturity at that time. Even a Title Douluo wouldn't have been able to know her true identity."

Moreover, when that soul beast was pregnant, Tang Hao actually took it around everywhere. As the young sect master of the number one sect in the world, I think Tang Hao should know that a soul beast will emit its aura during pregnancy, which can be detected by a titled Douluo.

Besides, when the Spirit Hall was chasing Tang Hao, Tang Hao and his group actually ran into the desert, which is a big question mark. If his wife was a plant-type spirit beast, shouldn't they have gone into the forest to be safer?

After that great battle, I sent people to the site of their battle, so I can be quite certain that Tang Hao and his group fought in a desert. Therefore, it's very likely that everything the Spirit Hall said is true, and that Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao was indeed bewitched by a spirit beast.”

"The Spirit Hall has always been known for its benevolence, but this time their actions can be described as extremely ruthless!"

On the surface, Xue Qinghe maintained a calm and composed expression, but inwardly, his mind was in turmoil. Was it because his grandfather never told him the cause of his father's death that he was betrayed by a soul beast and couldn't even defeat a newly promoted Title Douluo? Did he find it too shameful and therefore avoid mentioning it?

Unlike the atmosphere in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the patriarchs of the three remaining former affiliated families of the Haotian Sect gathered together.

"The old gorilla is dead, now it's just the three of us old guys left!" White Crane said sadly, with a sense of shared sorrow.

"He deserved to die! Didn't he know who he was loyal to? Although I don't like the Spirit Hall, I won't deny their contributions to the Spirit Master world. Moreover, what Tang Hao did this time went too far. He actually dared to smash up the Spirit Hall, causing injuries to people from the Spirit Hall, nobles, and commoners."

Little did they know that they had just implemented reforms and eradicated all the corrupt officials. Although some time had passed, the murderous aura of the Spirit Hall had not yet dissipated! Those being investigated were all trembling with fear. The higher-ups, upon learning that the Spirit Hall had so many corrupt officials and that the Spirit Hall had been tricked by the Star Luo Empire and had corrupted its own bishops, did not know where to vent their inner rage. And yet, he foolishly walked right into the line of fire.

Moreover, although the overall strength of the Spirit Hall has weakened a bit, the strength of their higher-ups has not been greatly damaged. At this critical juncture, anyone who dares to cause trouble at the Spirit Hall is definitely not mentally sound..." Niu Gao cursed incessantly.

"Back then, when Tang Hao committed a crime, all four of our clans were prepared to fight the Spirit Hall to the death. However, Tang Hao simply refused to show up, and the Clear Sky Sect, without even a fight, abandoned us and left us to the Spirit Hall to vent their anger."

However, the Clear Sky Sect is quite powerful, and members of the other two Upper Three Sects also came to help, jointly resisting the Spirit Hall. Yet, they fled and sealed off the mountain without even fighting. Is it because they know the cause of death of the Spirit Hall Pope, Qian Xunji? Was it because he was bewitched by that 100,000-year-old spirit beast, the Blue Silver Emperor, that Tang Hao made this foolish decision, causing the Clear Sky Sect's reputation to be ruined?" Yang Wudi had read the Spirit Daily and was skeptical of the claims, so he wanted to ask his two brothers.
