Chapter 143: I Don't Believe Everyone in Spirit Hall Is a Saint!
[It can be said that the fate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was far more tragic than that of the Strength Clan.]
[You should know that in the later part of the original story, Spirit Hall's ambitions swelled, and it directly established a nation, renaming itself the Spirit Empire!]
[And during the "Soul Hunting Operation" launched by the Spirit Empire to eliminate all obstacles.]
[Because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had long been close to Tang San and had even formed deep cooperation with the Tang Sect, purchasing hidden weapons.]
[They were directly listed as the primary targets of attack by the Spirit Empire. That night, flames soared into the sky, and blood flowed like rivers.]
[The Spirit Empire dispatched several Titled Douluo and thousands of soul masters to launch a devastating surprise attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!]
[In that battle, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suffered extremely heavy losses. Outer disciples were almost completely wiped out, and even among the direct lineage, fewer than one in ten survived.]
[If not for the sect disciples being equipped with hidden weapons such as the Godly Zhuge Crossbow sold by Tang San, catching the enemy off guard,]
[The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might have been completely annihilated that very night!]
[Even so, to cover Ning Fengzhi and the core members' retreat, the Sword Douluo stayed behind alone, with a single sword, facing four Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall head-on!]
[In the end, he paid the painful price of losing his right arm before barely escaping with the remnants.]
[From the outcome alone, Ning Fengzhi placed the fate of the entire sect on Tang San, but this investment was clearly a failure.]
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong's face turned pale, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.
[Seven Treasure Little Rich Lady: @Supreme Pope Bibi Dong, come out here!]
[Seven Treasure Little Rich Lady: As expected, your Spirit Hall is full of wolfish ambition. Do you even want to establish an empire? You want to unify the continent?]
[Seven Treasure Little Rich Lady: For the sake of your ambition, you would deal such a vicious blow to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?!]
[Seven Treasure Little Rich Lady: Destroying sects and ruining inheritances, are you even human?!]
After the message was sent, the group fell into dead silence.
Spirit City, Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at the diary's contents, a trace of coldness flashing through her eyes, but even more an overwhelming dominance that looked down upon the world.
She let out a cold snort; in reality, her scepter struck the ground heavily.
"Hmph."
"Can't take it already?"
She replied coldly in the chat group:
[Supreme Pope: Ning Rongrong, as the future heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you shouldn't be so naive.]
[Supreme Pope: Isn't this a perfectly normal idea? Go ask the emperors of the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire.]
[Supreme Pope: Ask them whether they dream of defeating other forces and unifying the Douluo Continent.]
[Supreme Pope: They simply can't do it. They don't have the strength!]
[Supreme Pope: In terms of overall national power, the two great empires may be decent, but in terms of top-tier combat strength, do you think they are a match for Spirit Hall?]
[Supreme Pope: In this world, the strong prey on the weak, and the victor is king!]
[Supreme Pope: And besides, don't be too naive.]
[Supreme Pope: Spirit Hall has more than once extended goodwill to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, trying to win over Ning Fengzhi.]
[Supreme Pope: But what did your father do?]
[Supreme Pope: Not only did he refuse, but he also continued to support the Heaven Dou royal family, and according to the future written in Lin Yuan's diary, he even allied with Tang San.]
[Supreme Pope: Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, since you choose to stand against Spirit Hall, then you must be prepared to face destruction! The victor is the king, and the loser is the bandit!]
These words were cold and piercing, yet so realistic that they were impossible to refute.
Hu Liena, who had been silently observing, also spoke up.
Although she felt lost about her own future, when it came to defending Spirit Hall's position, it was her responsibility.
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: Ning Rongrong, although I sympathize with your future, there are some things I have to say.]
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: Unifying the continent may not benefit your noble sects that stand high above and may even take away your share of the cake.]
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: But for the common people of the world, it is definitely a good thing!]
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, raised in luxury, you should also know what Spirit Hall has done for the common people, right?]
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: For example, sending deacons every year to remote villages across the continent to help commoner children awaken their martial souls for free.]
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: How long has this been going on?]
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: Look at the two great empires, or your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and other sect forces.]
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: Who can do this? Who is willing to do it?]
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: In your eyes, commoners are just ants, not worth investing resources in.]
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: Take Lin Yuan, whom you all like, as an example. He was also born an orphan and grew up in a remote mountain village.]
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: If not for Spirit Hall's deacon helping him awaken his martial soul, no matter how talented he was, he would probably still be just an ordinary commoner now.]
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: How could he have the chance to stand here and become the favored genius in your eyes?]
[I Don't Like Men: Enough, stop arguing. This matter was never about right or wrong, only about positions.]
[I Don't Like Men: If you really can't settle it, why not ask Lin Yuan?]
[I Don't Like Men: Ask him what his attitude toward the two great empires and Spirit Hall really is.]
As soon as these words were spoken, the group quieted considerably.
Lin Yuan's attitude was undoubtedly what all the girls cared most about.
[I Don't Like Men: I've been living… ahem, residing in the Heaven Dou Empire for so many years.]
[I Don't Like Men: Being at the center of this vortex of power, I've seen far too many noble wastrels.]
[I Don't Like Men: They oppress the good and treat human life like grass. In their eyes, commoners aren't even as precious as the dogs they keep.]
[I Don't Like Men: Such an empire, such a system— is it really worth maintaining?]
Seeing Qian Renxue's words, Dugu Yan couldn't sit still.
Although she also hated those wastrels, she was still from the Heaven Dou Empire, and her grandfather also had ties with the royal family.
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: I don't like what you're saying. Are you saying Spirit Hall has no wastrels at all?]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Spirit Hall's branches are spread across cities and towns throughout the continent, even in remote villages.]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: With such a massive organization and so many people, can you guarantee there are no corrupt scum who indulge in luxury and oppress the people?]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: I don't believe everyone in Spirit Hall is a saint!]
