Six months after Tang Lan disappeared.
Tiandou Imperial Palace, Crown Prince's Chamber.
Qian Renxue shed her disguise, sitting upright in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection.
In her early twenties, her skin was whiter than snow, a straight nose, slightly delicate phoenix-shaped eyes. Her long golden hair fell loosely, accentuating her long, snow-white neck.
Paired with her heroic, stunning beauty, anyone who saw her would be captivated.
Yet, despite such beauty, she had to remain hidden in the shadows for an undercover mission.
Before, Qian Renxue didn't mind.
As long as she could help the Spirit Hall, help her grandfather, help her mother, she was willing to give her all.
But…after meeting Tang Lan, she changed her mind.
Qian Renxue didn't even know why.
But she desperately wanted to shed her current identity and face Tang Lan sincerely, one-on-one.
While lost in thought…
Her gaze suddenly sharpened!Standing up, she changed her appearance—switching into Xue Qinghe.
Turning, she saw a familiar figure—Ghost Douluo, Guimei.
An elder of the Spirit Hall, he had a soul fusion technique with Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan and was highly trusted by Bibi Dong.
"What are you doing here?" Qian Renxue said, displeased. "This is the Tiandou Imperial Palace. If we're discovered, my decades of undercover work would be wasted!"
Ghost Douluo was silent, responding only with action.
He raised his hand and tossed a letter.
Qian Renxue caught it and opened it. Her expression changed repeatedly!The letter was from Bibi Dong.
It was to confirm whether the Tang Sect could be used by the Spirit Hall.
Over the past three months,
Soul spirits had swept across the continent with unstoppable momentum,
forcing the Spirit Hall, especially Bibi Dong, to pay attention to this rising sect.
They had intended to recruit it.
But Sect Leader Tang Lan, along with core disciples, had gone off for intensive cultivation somewhere unknown.
The Tang Sect's Deputy Sect Leader, just a Soul Douluo, could play Taiji.
The deputy of the Spirit Communication Tower was even more shocking—only a three-ring Soul Master?!
So they could only send Qian Renxue to recruit.
If she couldn't make the sect submit, the threat would have to be eliminated at its source.
But how could Qian Renxue agree?
The Tang Sect was her "heart and soul."
If the Spirit Hall forcibly seized it, how could she face him afterward?So she had repeatedly stalled.
Until last month.
Both the Sunset Forest and the Extreme North Spirit Towers activated, steadily outputting soul spirits.
Their influence grew daily.
This made Bibi Dong feel a real threat and unable to sit still.
She directly dispatched capable subordinates.
Besides the Ghost Douluo before her, Yueguan waited outside the city.
"Your Highness," Ghost Douluo said calmly, "If you cannot provide a definite answer, we will act to clear obstacles for the Spirit Hall ourselves."
This aggressive stance angered Qian Renxue greatly.
That woman!
Would rather trust outsiders than herself?"I told you!" Qian Renxue shouted, furious. "I've already used 100,000-year soul bones to recruit Tang Sect Leader Tang Lan."
"Now they're out in intensive cultivation, unable to swear loyalty to the Spirit Hall."
"But given my relationship with him, there's absolutely no problem!"
Ghost Douluo remained unmoved.
This made Qian Renxue even more frustrated!She picked up a soul communication device to dial.
"Your Highness," Ghost Douluo said, "if you intend to contact the Pope, it's useless. This is a Tang Sect device—security cannot be guaranteed."
Qian Renxue froze!She realized:
If Tang Lan isn't brought out today to swear loyalty to the Spirit Hall,
they wouldn't be able to prevent an attack.
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, choosing not to argue with Ghost Douluo.
She knew it was useless.
She tried calling Tang Lan again. The result remained:
[Target not in the Blue Silver Grass service area, please try later!]
Qian Renxue reluctantly hung up, frowning in thought.
Ghost Douluo's figure began to dim.
"Since Your Highness has no way, the matter will now be handled by us."
Click—
Qian Renxue crushed the communication device, helpless.
And in the Tiandou Imperial Palace, she could not release her aura.
She could only force herself to endure.
Her teeth nearly shattered!
Her resentment toward Bibi Dong reached its peak!
"Guards!"
The elder, fat or thin, pushed open the door, folding his hands to wait for orders.
They had been stationed at the door all along.
But without being Title Douluos, they couldn't detect Ghost Douluo's visit.
Qian Renxue didn't blame them.
She tossed her Crown Prince badge.
"Go to the Tang Sect personally, invite Elder Wang and Deputy Sect Leader Zhao. Host a banquet tonight for them."
"If anything unusual occurs, mobilize the Imperial Guards immediately."
"And report all relevant information at once."
The hints were clear. The two elders understood—they were to assist the Tang Sect in facing an enemy.
They asked no further questions and obeyed.
Qian Renxue took out a new communication device, composed a message, and sent it.
Then she stared at the closed door, her eyes full of killing intent.
'Just take this chance to eliminate Xuebeng!'
'Poison Xueye that old man, seize the Tiandou Empire!'
'Let's see if you, Bibi Dong, still dare to ignore me!'
Tang Sect.
The grand entrance, normally bustling, was unusually spacious.
After more than half a year of development, several nearby streets were already Tang Sect properties.
Mostly inns, for those seeking to join the Tang Sect.
Disciples in charge of recruitment would verify candidates individually.
No more long queues—efficiency improved.
It cost money, but Tang Sect had plenty.
Ghost Douluo and Yueguan stood at the Tang Sect academy gates.
Looking at the thriving scene below, regret appeared in their eyes.
"This Tang Lan, never comes out early or late, only now for cultivation," Yueguan sighed. "The Pope's patience is limited. Hope they know better."
Ghost Douluo said nothing, waiting silently.
A large number of Spirit Hall soul masters surrounded the Tang Sect.
The process was unapologetic.
Soon, Tang Sect mobilized its forces.
Deputy Sect Leader Zhao Wuji and Second Elder Wang Dali approached Ghost Douluo and Yueguan.
"Ghost Douluo? Chrysanthemum Douluo?" Wang Dali said solemnly. "Spirit Hall, what is your intent?"
Yueguan raised a delicate finger gracefully.
"Deputy Sect Leader Zhao, Elder Wang,"
"Today we represent the Spirit Hall to sincerely invite Tang Sect to replace the White Tiger Sect, becoming one of the new Lower Four Sects."
"Given Tang Sect's potential, under the Spirit Hall's support, it could become one of the new Upper Three Sects within ten years."
"What is Tang Sect's opinion?"
This was the Spirit Hall's final olive branch.
Whether Tang Lan was present or not, they would force the situation.
Otherwise,Zhao Wuji and Wang Dali would have very grim expressions.
Seeing the Tang Sect fully prepared, they hesitated.
"Old Zhao, did the Sect Leader not leave instructions before departing?" Wang Dali whispered.
Zhao Wuji's eye twitched.
Instructions?They had indeed been given.
But Tang Lan's method…
