"Confess?" yers was puzzled—did the other side fear Spirit Hall's na?
It wasn't impossible; after all, who would dare offend Spirit Hall on the continent? ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Thinking so, yers smiled smugly. "Smart move. Since you confessed, I can be lenient. But these two girls—I'll interrogate them personally for their arrogance. Who knows what cris they're hiding."
"How did Bibi Dong get to be Pope? She actually sent an idiot like you to be the branch hall master?" Tianlin said with a helpless expression.
yers thought he wanted to confess—didn't even notice the sarcasm.
"You—you dare call Her Holiness the Pope by na? That's blasphemy! You're dead today, no one can save you!" yers pointed at Tianlin in rage.
"It's just a na, what's there to fear? On second thought, maybe I misjudged Bibi Dong. You're much older than her; maybe soone else appointed you. By the way, have you heard this saying: 'You, yers, with only six soul rings, why seek your doom?'" Tianlin laughed. "The person who appointed you must be the genius who said that, right?"
"You—!" This ti yers wasn't angry but trembling. Of course, he'd heard that phrase—it was the catchphrase of their previous Pope, Qian Xunji.
After Qian Xunji beca a Title Douluo, he grew extrely arrogant. Apart from other Title Douluos, even Soul Douluos would get, "Just eight soul rings, so what?"—as if all others were ants before him.
First, calling out the current Pope's na; then, cursing the forr Pope in public—this person must be either very powerful or a fool.
But Tianlin didn't seem like a fool. yers realized he might've ssed up this ti.
"Quick, pick up those tokens and show !" Both tokens were face down, so yers didn't know what they were.
When a subordinate handed over the tokens, yers's face turned ghostly pale. The design was burned into his mind—the Heaven Dou Six Emperor Token, also known as the legendary Pope's Order. Those who held it, aside from the three upper sects' Title Douluos, were all elders of Spirit Hall.
"Hey, yers, don't think that having this makes a Spirit Hall elder. I have nothing to do with Spirit Hall," Tianlin reminded him. "These are actually spoils I took—they're evidence of murder. Whose bodies did I get them from? Oh, that's right, a Blood Demon Bear and a Porcupine."
"Elder Demon Bear and Elder Porcupine!" yers trembled, pointing at Tianlin. "S-so you're the Sword Prince of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—Jun Tianlin!"
So young and already so powerful. yers could only think of Tianlin.
Tianlin nodded, "Correct. Now, you can avenge your two Spirit Hall elders by killing , the confessed criminal. But I can't promise I won't fight back."
yers was utterly terrified. A man who dared kill Spirit Hall's Title Douluo elders—he wouldn't survive even a touch from Tianlin's sword.
yers blurted out, "It's all a misunderstanding, Sword Prince! The man yesterday was just a fraud; you were right to teach him a lesson. Truly chivalrous!"
He turned to leave. He knew Tianlin wouldn't care about his rank; after all, he dared kill Spirit Hall elders. What else would he not dare do?
"Trying to leave just like that?" Tianlin reached out, locking yers in place with soul power and dragging him back.
yers fell to the ground. Tianlin stomped on his head. "Just now, you said Spirit Hall controls all soul masters. Well, tell now—can you control , Jun Tianlin?"
"N-no, I can't! I misspoke—please spare , Sword Prince!" yers was so scared he wet himself. Dignity didn't matter—he just wanted to live.
"Rember, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will never submit to any power. Only our own people can control us. Spirit Hall isn't qualified. Next ti you claim to control all soul masters, add 'except the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.' Understand?"
yers nodded frantically. "Yes, Sword Prince, I'll rember!"
"Good. Now shout three tis, 'Spirit Hall can never control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect,' and I'll let you go. Otherwise, say goodbye to your head!" Tianlin threatened calmly.
yers hesitated. If he said it, he'd be a traitor to Spirit Hall. But when Tianlin pressed harder with his foot, yers felt his skull about to burst.
"Spare , Sword Prince! I'll say it right now!" yers surrendered instantly—who cared about the future, just let him live now.
"Spirit Hall can never control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Spirit Hall can never control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Spirit Hall can never control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!" yers shouted with all his soul power, his voice echoing through Gengxin City's streets. The citizens looked on in shock—the once arrogant main hall master was now so utterly humiliated.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly deserved its status as one of the top three sects.
"Good. Now get lost!" Tianlin kicked yers dozens of ters away.
yers scrambled up and ran, not daring to utter a word of threat.
"That was aweso! Boss is the best—he beat that guy to a pulp!" Ma Hongjun cheered.
"Yeah, that felt so good. Let's see Spirit Hall bully us again!" Bai Chenxiang agreed. Her clan had always had to avoid Spirit Hall; never had she felt so vindicated.
Tianlin smiled at them. "Don't think all of Spirit Hall is bad. We just happened to et the scum today. If you ever et soone truly devoted to the people, you don't need to be so hostile."
"So boss, if we et those good folks, should we listen to them? After all, Spirit Hall does oversee most of the soul masters on the continent," Ma Hongjun asked.
Tianlin shook his head. "No, just give them the respect and courtesy they deserve. Didn't you hear what yers just shouted? Spirit Hall can never control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
