Tang Hao stood in mid-air, reaching out with his hand. A black light flickered, and a massive black hammer appeared in his grasp.
At the same time, one after another, soul rings began to appear beneath his feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and finally, a red ring. The moment the red ring appeared, an overwhelming aura and terrifying pressure radiated outward, palpable to everyone present.
The scene left countless people in shock. A Title Douluo, one who had killed the previous Pope, had appeared before them. Many were reminded of the events from over a decade ago, and the man responsible for those events was none other than the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.
Bibi Dong clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she glared at Tang Hao in the sky.
Because of Yu Xiao Gang, she had abandoned her plan to eliminate Tang Hao and Tang San. But now, instead of retreating, Tang Hao had the audacity to come to the Spirit Hall at this very moment.
This situation was becoming difficult to handle. With so many eyes watching, if they couldn't deal with Tang Hao swiftly and decisively, it would severely damage the Spirit Hall's reputation in the soul master world. More importantly, it would undermine Bibi Dong's authority within the Spirit Hall.
Due to Tang Hao's actions, Xue Qing He had already sent word back to the Spirit Hall. The elders and deacons of the Spirit Hall were well aware of the situation and had even prepared to ambush Tang Hao. However, under Bibi Dong's intervention, the assassination plan had been canceled. This was a vulnerability, one that could be used by Qian Ren Xue to replace Bibi Dong at a critical moment.
How could Bibi Dong not feel resentment? She thought helplessly:
'Xiao Gang, do you know what I am sacrificing for you...'
With a cold command, Bibi Dong ordered:
"Elder Ju, Elder Gui, take action immediately! Do not let Tang Hao escape!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who had been standing guard beside Bibi Dong, shot into the air, charging toward Tang Hao.
"As you command, Your Holiness!"
The two quickly summoned their martial souls. Nine soul rings appeared beneath each of them, with the same configuration: two yellow, two purple, and five black. Their auras surged to their peak.
"A chrysanthemum and a ghost? You think you can stop me?"
Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer. His seventh soul ring lit up, and the hammer expanded rapidly, reaching a hundred meters in size. This was the true form of the Clear Sky Hammer.
Then, his ninth soul ring, the bright red one, began to glow brilliantly. Crimson patterns spread across the massive hammer, pushing its aura to its limit and beyond.
Tang Hao laughed wildly:
"Hahaha... Bibi Dong, I know you're aware of my movements. I also know you planned to ambush me. Let this be a lesson to you—not everyone can be provoked! Heavenly Descent Strike!"
With a swing of his hammer, the hundred-meter-long weapon came crashing down toward the Pope's Hall. Yue Guan and Gui Mei were horrified. Without needing further orders from Bibi Dong, they turned back, desperate to protect the hall.
Bibi Dong let out a sharp cry and summoned her martial soul. However, she did not fully merge with it. Her martial soul was grotesque and hideous, unlike the radiant angel martial soul of the Qian family. Beneath her feet, nine soul rings appeared: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—identical to Tang Hao's configuration.
She soared into the air. At the same time, four figures rushed out from the depths of the Spirit Hall, joining Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei. Together, the seven Title Douluos managed to deflect Tang Hao's attack, preventing the Pope's Hall from being reduced to rubble. Otherwise, the humiliation would have been unbearable.
Tang Hao's strategy was to attack where they had to defend. In his current state, severely injured and facing multiple Title Douluos, he would have no chance of survival if caught.
Although he failed to achieve his goal, Tang Hao was satisfied. Fighting one against seven was no small feat. He quickly retreated, shouting:
"Consider this a warning! The next time I appear before you, I will turn the Spirit Hall upside down!"
After fleeing the scene, Tang Hao met up with Tang San and Xiao Wu in a corner of Spirit City. He said to Yu Xiao Gang:
"Master, Bibi Dong has already made her move. I hope you can learn something from this. In a few years, I will have Xiao San come to you."
With that, Tang Hao suppressed the turmoil in his body, took Tang San and Xiao Wu, and left Spirit City.
Only after Tang Hao disappeared did Yu Xiao Gang finally look away, his eyes filled with admiration. The reason he idolized Tang Hao was because of his strength—strength that even the Spirit Hall couldn't handle.
Recalling the scene just now, where Tang Hao single-handedly repelled seven Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiao Gang couldn't help but feel awed by such a display of power.
Soon, Yu Xiao Gang muttered under his breath:
"Bibi Dong, you're nothing special. I will uncover the secrets of the twin martial souls. Xiao San will surpass his father and become a force that makes the Spirit Hall tremble."

Back at the Pope's Hall!
Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and the four other Title Douluos in red robes looked disheveled. They exchanged uneasy glances, their gazes lingering on Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's face was cold as she spoke in an icy tone:
"The responsibility for this incident lies entirely with me. After the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament concludes, I will give you all an explanation. Tang Hao will die by my hand sooner or later."
Since Bibi Dong had taken responsibility, the other elders couldn't say much, though they couldn't help but feel some resentment.
Xue Qing He had sent the message back, yet Tang Hao had still managed to storm the Spirit Hall, nearly destroying the Pope's Hall in the process.
Meanwhile, in the VIP seats!
Xue Qing He lowered his head, hiding the coldness in his eyes. At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to confront Bibi Dong and demand to know what she had been thinking.
The exact information had been sent back. All they needed to do was send Title Douluos to ambush Tang Hao. Instead, Tang Hao had caused chaos at the Spirit Hall, tarnishing its reputation. The key question was: how did Tang Hao know about the Spirit Hall's plan to ambush him? There was a mole, and their position was alarmingly high.
Not far from Xue Qing He, Ning Fengzhi's eyes sparkled with amusement. If they weren't in the Spirit Hall, he would have burst out laughing.
With this incident, as long as Tang Hao remained alive, the Spirit Hall's reputation would continue to suffer. The Spirit Hall would undoubtedly go to great lengths to hunt him down.
This was perfect for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. They could continue to lie low and focus on their own development.
Meanwhile, in the ordinary spectator seats!
Chen Yuan was surprised. He hadn't expected to witness such a spectacle while watching the tournament. He had also gained a glimpse of Tang Hao's strength. He thought to himself:
'Tang Hao possesses a certain aura, one that makes him fearless and his enemies hesitant. That must be the Slaughter Domain. It's time I paid a visit to the City of Slaughter...'
