Chapter 245 On the Eve of the Selection of the Three Upper Sects

During the time Yuexuan was closed for repairs, Tang Yuehua saw various articles in the Martial Soul Daily. She had many unanswered questions about these articles, so she decided to take advantage of the closure to return and investigate.

Tang Xiao was also puzzled when Tang Yuehua returned to the Haotian Sect. After all, Tang Yuehua would never return except for holidays and festivals, so her return meant something serious had happened. Yuexuan was currently the only source of income for the Haotian Sect, so after hearing the news of Tang Yuehua's return, all the elders of the Haotian Sect rushed over.

Soon, everyone gathered in the Haotian Sect's council hall. Tang Xiao asked with concern, "Yuehua, why are you back?"

"well……"

Tang Yuehua then recounted all the unpleasant things that had happened at Yuexuan. The elders listened with their heads spinning, and the hot-tempered Seventh Elder, Lieyang Douluo, angrily cursed, "The Spirit Hall is a bunch of bastards..."

"Alright, Seventh Brother, the Spirit Hall's actions are understandable!" the Second Elder said helplessly.

"Second Elder, do you know who sent the letter of complaint to the Spirit Hall? And why was my second brother taking Sister-in-law Ah Yin to wander around various cities when she was heavily pregnant?" Tang Yuehua asked with a suspicious look.

Hearing Tang Yuehua's question, the Second Elder didn't know what to say. There were too many suspicious points about that incident back then.

"I didn't know either. I only found out afterward that Tang Hao's wife was a soul beast!"

The Second Elder actually knew something, but he chose not to say it. As the saying goes, respect for the dead is paramount, and he couldn't let his elder brother bear the blame after his death! Tang Yuehua knew she wouldn't get anything out of him, so she had no choice but to give up. However, she already had some guesses in her heart, but she couldn't say them out loud, since the two people she suspected were people she respected!

...

Before the heat of the Tang Hao incident had even died down, the Spirit Hall dropped another bombshell: Tang Hao, the new Clear Sky Douluo trained by the Clear Sky Sect, colluded with spirit beasts to assassinate the Pope. The Spirit Hall, known for its magnanimity, had already forgiven him, but Tang Hao showed no remorse, attacking a branch of the Spirit Hall and committing horrific slaughter—an act befitting an evil spirit master. The Clear Sky Sect is unworthy of its position as the head of the three upper sects. After deliberation, the Spirit Hall decided to strip the Clear Sky Sect of its status as one of the three upper sects and revoke all its benefits. However, the position of one of the three upper sects cannot remain vacant; therefore, the Spirit Hall decided to hold a selection process for the three upper sects and the four lower sects in Spirit City one month from now!

The moment the Spirit Hall announced this news, the entire Douluo Continent was in an uproar. Every force wanted to climb up the ranks, and as for the Clear Sky Sect, which had been squeezed out, no one cared about its feelings.

Time passed quickly, and a month later, all the major forces arrived in Wuhun City with their teams, awaiting the start of the selection.

The day before the selection of the three upper sects began, Wuhun City was already bustling with activity. Many smaller forces arrived in Wuhun City early to join in the excitement and witness the birth of the new generation of the three upper sects, since the selection of the three upper sects is a rare event.

On the day of the competition, due to the ambiguous relationship between the Lower Four Sects and the Spirit Hall, they all arrived early and sat in the seats arranged by the Spirit Hall, obediently waiting for the selection to begin. The Lower Four Sects were fairly well-organized, with each sect bringing two Soul Douluos in addition to their sect leader.

The first of the three upper sects to arrive was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Ning Fengzhi brought the two sect elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to Martial Soul City.

A quarter of an hour later, Yu Yuanzhen arrived, but his entourage was much more meager, with only two Soul Douluos following him. Originally, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had seven Soul Douluo-level elders, but the Ice Palace killed three of them, leaving only four Soul Douluos.

Yu Yuanzhen left his sect to participate in the selection of the three upper sects. Since the sect could not be without a force to guard it, Yu Yuanzhen left behind a Soul Douluo and Yu Luomian, who did not care much about the sect but would definitely step forward in times of crisis. These two Soul Douluos were more than enough to guard the sect. Therefore, he could only bring two Soul Douluos with him.
