Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 142: Mystery of Tiandou
After devouring Dugu Bo's martial soul, Fang Chang soon faced his fifth heavenly tribulation.

I don’t know if it’s because his strength is getting stronger, but it seems to be getting easier for him to overcome the tribulation now.

This time he didn't even use the "Endurance" skill, let alone "Resurrection".

After the tribulation was over, Fang Chang rested for a few more days in his newly built nest in the Sunset Forest, during which time he continued to devour the flying soul beasts that his descendants had worked so hard to capture.

The last condition in the evolutionary conditions column, "devour one hundred soul beasts or human martial spirits with flying abilities," also quickly reached 55 during this period, completing more than half of the task.

After the hidden injuries he suffered from the thunder tribulation were completely healed, Fang Chang temporarily left the Sunset Forest and headed for Tiandou City, which was not far away.

Tiandou City is, after all, the imperial city of the Tiandou Empire. Even the Spirit Hall doesn't dare to act too presumptuously under the feet of the emperor.

It was also for this reason that the Spider God Cult branch in Tiandou City was able to be preserved during the previous purge of the Spirit Hall, and there have always been many believers in the Spider God Cult in the city.

After arriving in Tiandou City, Fang Chang went straight to the location of the Spider God Cult branch and lurked here for several days.

During this period, he secretly selected some believers who seemed to be more devout and reliable, told them some stories, and asked them to spread the news in the city.

And these believers were indeed powerful. In just a few days, rumors spread throughout Tiandou City. Some secrets spread wildly among ordinary people and soul masters, and even spread from Tiandou City to all parts of Douluo Continent.

Among these, there are probably a few stories that are most widely circulated.

First of all, the reason why the top sect on the continent, the Haotian Sect, retired was said to be because their Haotian Douluo fell in love with a soul beast, and in anger for that soul beast, he killed the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji.

After that, the Haotian Sect was forced to retreat to avoid the revenge of the Spirit Hall. And the Haotian Douluo Tang Hao also had a son with the soul beast, who was Tang San of Shrek Academy in the city.

When this story came out, countless people were shocked. At first they did not believe it, but after careful investigation, they found that some things seemed too coincidental.

For example, not long after the Haotian Sect retired, the Pope of the Spirit Hall was replaced by the current Lady Bibi Dong, and there was no news of the original Qian Xunji.

For example, at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition a few years ago, there was news that Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao had appeared in the Spirit Hall and rescued a transformed soul beast.

If you put these things together with this story, then everything seems to make sense.

Of course, these are all stories compiled by Fang Chang based on the original works, and he only slightly modified some details. For example, the cause of Qianxunji's death was changed from being poisoned by Bibi Dong to being beaten to death by Haotian Douluo.

But at least 80 to 90 percent of these stories are true, so they are easy to believe.

The story spread more and more widely, and more and more people knew about it. Some people even made up a nursery rhyme to mock the Spirit Hall.

"Haotian Sect is awesome, they produced Tang Haotian. Tang Haotian is even more awesome, he killed an old pope with one hammer. Wuhun Hall is cowardly, they don't dare to seek revenge or make trouble."

The Spirit Hall soon received the news, and although they were angry, they could do nothing about it.

This should have been one of the biggest secrets in the spirit master world. Even in the Spirit Hall, only a few high-ranking people knew about it. But now it has become known to everyone, making them lose face.

The second rumor is that the reason why Spirit Hall did not take much action against the recent actions of the Spider God Cult is because they are planning a bigger conspiracy.

About a year later, they will launch a "Soul Hunting Operation" in which large sects on the continent that are unwilling to submit to the Spirit Hall, including the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, will be exterminated.

When the news reached the Spirit Hall, the already turbulent high-level officials of the Spirit Hall were instantly in an uproar. The Elder Hall held an emergency meeting, saying that they wanted to find out the spies in the hall. But in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

But among the people, this story did not cause as much stir as the first story.

Most soul masters are not aware of the true power of the Spirit Hall, and do not believe that they can destroy several major sects at the same time.

However, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan still secretly increased the number of guards and quietly recalled some clansmen who were originally active outside.

The third story is closely related to the Tiandou Empire. It is said that Xue Qinghe, the current eldest prince of the Tiandou Empire, is actually fake.

The real Xue Qinghe had been secretly killed by the Spirit Hall when he was a child, and the current him was completely replaced by a person named Qian Renxue who was found by the Spirit Hall. She was even a woman dressed as a man.

The purpose of doing this is to let this person named Qian Renxue inherit the Tiandou Empire, and then hand over the empire to the Spirit Hall, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of the Spirit Hall to unify the continent.

The response caused by this news was even greater than the first news. Even though the Tiandou royal family quickly came out to refute the rumor, almost everyone in Tiandou City was discussing it in private.

For a time, Tiandou City was shrouded in suspicion and rumors were spreading everywhere.

At this time, the fourth piece of news also leaked out. But this was not a story, but a map. The place recorded on it was about 300 miles away from the Tiandou Empire. There were only three big characters marked on the map: "Haotian Sect".

As soon as this map came out, countless people's eyes were once again focused on the Spirit Hall. Now the news that their former Pope had been killed by Haotian Douluo was almost known to the world.

If they didn't know the location of the Haotian Sect, they could still make some excuses, but now someone has released the map of the Haotian Sect, so will they fight or not?
In the Spirit Hall, the chief priest Qian Daoliu, who had not appeared for a long time, unexpectedly reappeared at this time, holding a copy of the Haotian Sect map in his hand.

As the origin of all news, Tiandou City has also become the focus of attention of all forces on the mainland.

The number of soul masters in the city has almost doubled in recent days, and many of them are secretly gathering information. Most of them are spies from various forces.

At this critical juncture, news came from the Spider God Cult, the mortal enemy of the Spirit Hall.

Their lord Spider God messenger, who had challenged Spirit Hall to a duel in Hanhai City, actually showed up at the Spider God Cult branch in Tiandou City.

He even publicly gave out great rewards in the temple, and all believers who were willing to believe in the Spider God Cult were blessed by the great Spider God.

Among them, some people got soul bones, some got a good soul guide, and some got some very precious cultivation materials.

After doing all this, the Spider God Messenger actually walked towards the imperial city of the Tiandou Empire and requested to meet with the current Emperor Xue Ye of the Tiandou Empire.

In addition, the Spider God Messenger also required that the current Crown Prince Xue Qinghe must be present.
