Ghostly looked around. The vision of a Title Douluo was so far-reaching that he saw the disciples patrolling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School castle.

Soon, he noticed a strange phenomenon: some disciples were carrying fruit platters and snacks.

'So leisurely?' Many questions arose in Ghost's mind, and then his gaze moved.

The ghostly aura suddenly froze, and Yue Guan, who was perfectly in sync with his old partner, couldn't help but look over.

"Old Ghost, what's wrong?"

"Look, isn't that the second chief priest on the castle?"

"It's ghostly," he said in a hoarse voice.

"How could that be? How could the Second Elder go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Yue Guan said with a smile, his gaze following the direction of the statue.

The other five titled Douluo also left.

On the city wall, an old man in a golden robe and silver embroidery, with white hair and beard, was playing chess with Chen Xin, who was dressed in white.

The two men had warm expressions, giving the impression that they were evenly matched.

Yue Guan: ? ? ?

The other five titled Douluo: ? ? ?

No, we are about to fight to the death, what is the Second Elder doing?

Something's not right. Something's definitely not right.

"Old Ghost, what should we do now? How did the Second Elder end up at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? His Holiness the Pope doesn't know about this." Yue Guan said with a worried expression.

The ghostly face hidden in the shadows became unpredictable, shifting between light and shadow.

Everyone in the Spirit Hall knows that the Second Elder is a lackey of the First Elder, Qian Daoliu.

The arrival of the Second Elder at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School is definitely a very bad sign.

"Forget about going to bed later tonight, we need to figure this out now: do these two elders simply want to prevent His Holiness the Pope from achieving anything, or do they have other motives?"

"Let's all seven of us go up together and find out!"

Ghostly said sternly, and the other titled Douluos nodded in agreement.

In an instant, seven streaks of light sped toward Chen Xin's location.

Chen Xin raised an eyebrow: "The person has arrived, so let Senior Golden Crocodile handle things later."

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded slightly. He was now over 150 years old, even older than Qian Daoliu. It was appropriate for Chen Xin to call him senior.

"Rest assured, with me here, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be safe and sound today. However, my young master will still need the support of your school in the future."

Chen Xin smiled; this was something that had been discussed long ago.

"Second Elder, you've come at the right time. Today is the crucial moment of the Soul Hunting Operation. Let's join forces and capture Chen Xin!"

Ghost spoke first, wanting to define the nature of this matter.

In an instant, petals, ghostly shadows, spears, and other attacks hurtled towards Chen Xin.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes shone brightly, and his entire body was covered with a layer of golden scales. He suddenly stepped forward with his left foot and pressed down with both hands.

A burst of intense golden light suddenly erupted, forming a wall that blocked the seven attacks.

As Chen Xin sensed the powerful soul force of Golden Crocodile Douluo, he couldn't help but marvel at the profound foundation of the Spirit Hall.

Judging from the current performance of Golden Crocodile Douluo, he is slightly inferior.

When the seven ghostly figures saw Golden Crocodile Douluo intervene to stop them, their hearts sank. Oh no.

They were about to continue their attack when Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly, and nine spirit rings appeared one after another.

"How dare you!"

A huge crocodile phantom emerged from behind him, and his sixth spirit ring instantly shone. The huge phantom seemed to become a real entity, roaring to the sky.

Amidst the roar, all seven titled Douluo felt their blood and qi surge, and were simultaneously alarmed by the Golden Crocodile Douluo's power.

Ghostly's face was grim as he said, "Second Elder, what is the reason for this? Please give us an explanation. The Spirit Hall has been planning this for a long time, and all of this is for the future of the Spirit Hall."

"Heh, all you do is fight and kill, don't you have any sense of human relationships at all?"

"As one of the three upper sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has already decided to pledge allegiance to my Spirit Hall. With such powerful assistance, how dare you try to obstruct us!"

The ghosts and their companions were instantly filled with doubt and disbelief; they simply couldn't believe their ears.

No, you at least have the potential to become the number one sect in the world, and you just surrendered like that? Moreover, you kept such a big deal to yourself. Aren't you just deliberately making fun of them?

"What, you don't believe me? Chen Xin, you go and talk to them," said Golden Crocodile Douluo quietly.

Chen Xin smiled and said, "The Spirit Hall has rendered great service to the continent, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is naturally willing to work with it on important matters. From now on, the affairs of the Spirit Hall will be the affairs of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Yue Guan was so shocked that she raised her delicate fingers and pointed at Chen Xin and the other person, exclaiming, "You...you..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? I've already said this, so get out of here!" Golden Crocodile Douluo said coldly.

Using the word "roll" to describe the seven titled Douluo is obviously inappropriate, but Golden Crocodile Douluo is clearly qualified for it in terms of both age and strength.

The seven ghosts all looked grim, yet there was nothing they could do.

After all, even the seven of them weren't confident they could defeat the level 98 Golden Crocodile and the level 97 Chen Xin.

It's not impossible that they might even capsize in a ditch.

Moreover, there's also the ancient banyan tree and Ning Fengzhi hidden in the shadows.

"Let's go!" Ghostly shouted.

They had no choice but to leave.

When they left, the seven titled Douluo were heartbroken. They had taken a full ten thousand Soul Masters with them, and the mobilization and concealment of the personnel alone cost a fortune, only to end up like this.

The 10,000 Soul Masters who were lying in wait were completely dumbfounded when they saw the seven Title Douluos returning in disgrace and heard the announcement of their retreat.

No, we've made such a big fuss, we're preparing to achieve great things, and you're telling me this trip is just sightseeing?

"Your Excellency Ghost Douluo, aren't we supposed to be attacking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" a bolder Soul Douluo asked.

Ghost Douluo glared fiercely: "Enough with the nonsense, just obey orders!"

The Soul Master immediately fell silent, and hurriedly ran off to arrange for the lower-level Soul Masters to evacuate.

"Old ghost, with such a grand operation, we've returned empty-handed. If His Holiness the Pope finds out, do you think we'll get away with this?"

The ghostly figure looked bitter: "But what can we do? That's the Second Elder, and there's definitely a higher Elder behind him."

After saying that, he sighed suddenly, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has joined our Spirit Hall, and now His Holiness the Pope must be having a headache."

Yue Guan's expression also turned grave. "You mean the young master?"

Ghost nodded silently, while the other titled Douluo also had gloomy expressions.

They understood the ghost's meaning: the fact that the Offering Hall, which usually remained aloof from worldly affairs, was taking action was simply to support someone.

The surrender of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a prelude to Qian Renxue's future power grab.

Yue Guan sighed and said, "Now we can only hope that Yan Chixia can succeed. Although destroying a sect is not as good as recruiting a surrender, it can still add merit to His Holiness the Pope."

······

Shen An, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, watched the scene of brothers killing each other with a detached, amused expression.

"You really know what's good for you." Shen An didn't hide his disdain.

But the woman in the jade crown seemed completely oblivious, instead adopting a grateful expression:

"My lord, what are you saying? It is my honor to serve the Spirit Hall. That old man has always been ungrateful. Now that I am in charge, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan will become the sharpest knife in the Spirit Hall's hands."

Shen An remained noncommittal, instead saying, "It seems your family's disciples have a lot of complaints. Go and handle it. If you can't do it well, then I'll have to take over."

Although Shen An harbors a lingering resentment towards Yu Luomian, given enough strength, Yu Luomian would undoubtedly become Shen An's most loyal lackey.

Shen Anxin was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan wiped out, so he decided to give them a chance, a chance for the vast majority of their descendants to survive.

The members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family were devastated, not only because Yu Yuanzhen, who had carried the family's glory for decades, had died, but also because of Yu Luomian's betrayal.

Internal strife—how chilling that is!

"Second Master, why did you kill the First Master? How can you face the honor of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan!"

The Soul King, his eyes bloodshot, roared.

His followers echoed his sentiments, verbally attacking Yu Luomian.

Looking at the dozen or so disciples around him, Yu Luomian's eyes flashed with a cold light.

He understood that he needed to handle all the first witnesses properly before leading his family to surrender; that was his value, otherwise Shen An wouldn't let him off easily.

At the same time, he did not want the family's power to be too damaged, as these were the components of his future power.

With tears welling in her eyes, Yu Luomian walked step by step toward the family members, saying with compassion, "You don't understand, this is the result that my elder brother and I discussed long ago."

"The Spirit Hall is too powerful for us to resist. I had no choice but to resort to this tactic. Only when we lose our titled Douluo-level leader will the Spirit Hall be willing to recruit us."

All the disciples' eyes were filled with extreme anger: "There are only dragons who die in battle, not dragons who surrender!"

“You don’t understand. I’m doing this all for the sake of the family, so let me bear this infamy,” he said as he walked.

At this moment, Yu Luomian was already quite close to them. At that moment, he transformed into a dragon, his eighth spirit ring shone brightly, and he immediately unleashed a killing move.

In an instant, lightning flashed and dragon roars echoed. Amidst the tremendous roar, more than ten unsuspecting disciples were all killed by Yu Luomian.

At the same time, Yu Luomian also returned to human form. Looking at the bloodstains on his body, he frowned slightly, and then his old face blossomed into a smile.

"My lord, please rest first. Leave the rest to me."

Shen An looked at the jade crown and thought to himself, "She really is ruthless."

The reason why the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is called a family is that most of its members are related by blood or marriage. It is no exaggeration to say that these people were raised under the watchful eyes of Yu Luomian.

But the assassins under the Jade Emperor were so decisive.

However, this gave Shen Anxin other ideas.

'It seems I need to find an opportunity to have a proper "chat" with this jade crown,' Shen Anxin thought to himself, before speaking:

"Is there someone in your family named Yu Xiaogang? Where is he? Bring him out here."

Yu Luomian hurriedly lowered his head. How could he not recognize this person? He was a disgrace to his family and had almost abducted his exceptionally talented daughter.

"Yes, yes, but this person is not currently with the family; instead, he has gone to the Heavenly Dou Empire."

Is he not here?

Shen An expressed slight regret, it seemed that he would not be able to send Yu Xiaogang off to reunite with his father today.

"Alright, you can go now."

Shen An gave the order, and Yu Luomian immediately stepped down. Since his elder brother died so quickly, those tough guys in the family probably wouldn't insist on fighting anymore.

He wanted to consolidate his family's power, making this foundation the basis for his rise to the top ranks of the Spirit Hall.

Throughout the entire night, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was ablaze with flames, accompanied by continuous screams.

This is Yu Luomian leading his confidants to eliminate his elder brother's loyal followers.

These young men never dreamed that before the enemy even attacked, they would be met with their own second-in-command's broadsword.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan originally numbered over 1,800, but only 1,300 were killed.

It has to be said that this family has a lot of tough guys, but unfortunately their second-in-command is the softest one.

"Tianheng, oh Tianheng, you really are lucky." Yu Luomian, covered in blood, had a murderous glint in his eyes.

He searched around but couldn't find Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng is, after all, a descendant of the Changsun lineage. Although no one knows about his killing of his elder brother except Shen An and Lingluan Douluo, it's still best to eliminate him completely.

Suddenly, a trusted confidant said, "Second Master... cough, First Master, the people from the Spirit Hall have been brought into the main hall as you instructed."

Yu Luomian nodded and smiled: "Alright, you may leave now. I will handle the rest."

Inside the council hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Yu Luomian burst in, her clothes stained with blood, and immediately slid down to her knees in front of Shen An.

"My lord, the rebellion of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has been completely dealt with. From now on, I will be His Holiness the Pope's sharpest blade, and you will have made a great contribution."

Shen An stared in astonishment at Yu Luomian kneeling before him. Yu Luomian was truly redefining his opinion of a person's bottom line time and time again.

A Contra Master, and the second-in-command of a large family, was able to kneel so naturally.
