In midair, Qian Daoliu, radiating golden brilliance and using the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul Avatar, looked down at the noisy crowd below, his expression incomparably gloomy.
He gripped the holy sword tightly, his aura as oppressive as a prison.
If he were twenty years younger, faced with this kind of situation, he definitely would have gone on a killing spree.
The surrounding Spirit Hall elders all wore troubled expressions, among the more than one million people present, roughly one-fifth were causing trouble, mixed in among the innocent, and they had no way to pick them out, so they could only watch helplessly as they grew restless.
"These bastards. They picked a time like this, leaving us no way to act. But if this keeps going, our Spirit Hall is going to be utterly humiliated."
"If you ask me, we should just throw caution to the wind, even the Pope's Palace has been attacked now, what else is there to worry about at a time like this? Just take action. One by one, kill anyone who dares talk nonsense."
"That's right, I support that too! Do they really think our Spirit Hall is easy to bully? After today, kill every last person who dares make trouble."
The soul masters of Spirit Hall were all incomparably furious, they had originally been the strongest force in the soul master world, yet now they were being held hostage by a group of weaklings, facing such an embarrassing predicament.
The troublemaking forces among the million-strong crowd also knew clearly that they were currently at an extremely critical juncture, if they failed to achieve their goal this time, they might face retaliation from Spirit Hall in the future, making things even more dangerous, and making it even harder to achieve the outcome they wanted.
"If Spirit Hall sincerely wants to develop Master Latio's theories, then it shouldn't be so overbearing, taking half the slots is simply too much, more should be given out."
"If you don't give us a satisfactory answer, we absolutely won't stop, the Pope's Palace is right across from us, let's charge out and tear down the Pope's Palace too."
"..."
Now that they had seen Spirit Hall's "health bar", these forces that had always feared Spirit Hall were all fired up, wanting to press forward in one burst and destroy Spirit Hall!
Qian Daoliu's expression was gloomy as a thoughtful look flickered in his eyes, he was hesitating over how to handle this, give up some interests? That was something Spirit Hall absolutely refused to accept, but if they did not do that, things really would spiral completely out of control.
Moreover, this was now unrest involving over a million people, there was no way to conceal it even if they wanted to, and any single mistake could be magnified without limit.
Losing the support of the soul masters meant that Spirit Hall would head toward decline.
But in the current situation, if they did not satisfy these people's demands, even he felt somewhat helpless and at a loss.
"Everyone, quiet down..."
Qian Daoliu's voice had only just sounded when everyone in the entire square fell silent.
It was not because of Qian Daoliu's words, but because they looked toward the high platform, where Master Latio walked out from backstage.
The moment he appeared he became the focus of the world, everyone's gaze was naturally drawn toward him, and the noise naturally subsided as well.
They could refuse to show Spirit Hall respect, they could hold the other side hostage, but when facing Master Latio, they had no reason whatsoever to make a disturbance.
Latio walked to the front of the platform, looking down at the crowd below.
Every face was flushed red, emotions running high.
But in his eyes, two large words seemed written across every person's face...foolish idiot.
He could not even explain to these fools what it meant to be a fool.
"This unrest arose because of me. Then I will tell you one final time now."
Latio's voice was very calm, but it rang through every corner of the entire square, even outside the square his voice could be heard.
Some people could not help wanting to cheer and applaud Latio, but when they saw Latio's head sculpture. The stern aura it gave off made them subconsciously not dare to move again.
The only thing they could do now was quietly listen to Master Latio's instructions.
Latio said indifferently:"Hopelessly foolish! I publish the results of martial soul theory. It is to guide you toward the dawn of truth, to let you see that there is a direction in which to advance, yet what you are doing now. Is endlessly entangling yourselves in trivial details. Interpreting the word stupidity with incomparable vividness."
"If you continue going farther and farther down this foolish road, then I. Will reassess your value, and whether there is any need for you to approach the truth. Or...you are merely a group of unenlightened monkeys. I will no longer publish any theoretical results for you either, because there is simply no need."
"If even stern instruction cannot reverse your will. Then..."
Latio did not continue, but everyone realized the threat in Master Latio's words.
If they continued making trouble, then he would simply part ways with them and no longer publish any theoretical results for them, this was a consequence no one could accept.
The expressions of top leaders such as Qian Daoliu,Ning Fengzhi,Yu Yuanzhen all changed.
They did not doubt Master Latio's words in the slightest.
Di Tian, on the other hand, showed a look of delight, if this group of foolish soul masters angered Master Latio into leaving and pushed him over to the soul beasts' side, then he would no longer need to worry about the future fate of the soul beasts.
The rash soul masters all showed terrified expressions upon hearing this.
Right now Master Latio was willing to spread his theoretical results, allowing all of them to learn of these epoch-making theories.
But if they angered Master Latio so badly that he stopped making them public, and only let Spirit Hall enjoy them exclusively, then their losses would actually be even greater.
At this, no one dared make another sound, nor did they dare crowd forward again.
No matter what they were thinking inside now, they all spoke beautifully for appearances' sake, hurriedly scrambling over one another to explain.
"Master Latio we know we were wrong, we would never dare forget your teachings."
"Since you've said this, then of course we'll listen to you, we won't cause trouble again in the future, please calm your anger, don't abandon us."
"From now on we will definitely study theory properly!"
"..."
These people no longer surged forward, each of them hurriedly apologizing, incomparably sincere.
Qian Daoliu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.
As expected, Latio still had to personally step forward, these people refused to show Spirit Hall respect, yet did not dare disobey Latio's words.
He took a light breath, smiling as he said:"Good thing you came Latio, otherwise our situation would only have grown more and more tense."
Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly.
These fools had caused such a huge disturbance that they had nearly made Latio completely disappointed in them.
If that situation really happened, he absolutely would not spare those soul master forces that had caused trouble.
Yu Luomian's heart was in his throat, now that the situation was about to calm down, it was time to shift the blame. And barring any surprises, the Earth Dragon Sect he had instructed would be the scapegoat.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were filled with envy, the current Master Latio was revered by a million people, this was exactly the self he hoped to become.
One person, one sentence, carried more weight than all the soul masters of Spirit Hall combined.
"I will definitely replace him in the future!"
Listening to everyone's vows of repentance, Latio did not care, he looked toward the sky.
In the sky outside the square. The Hell Demon Dragon King transformed by Zi Ji was displaying her might, fighting fiercely against Bibi Dong and the other Spirit Hall soul masters in the air, swatting them around in the sky like balls.
