Douluo: Wuhun Dragon Roar Spear, I, the Lord of the North

Chapter 137 Qian Renxue’s Test, On the Spirit Hall!
Looking at the carriage going further and further away, Liu Yanyang thought to himself, "You can't have your cake and eat it too. Ning Fengzhi, will you regret your decision today in the future?"

"What are you thinking about, Brother Yan Yang?" Xue Qinghe asked softly.

"When mediating between various forces, one could end up dead if one is not careful," Liu Yanyang sighed.

Xue Qinghe chuckled and looked at the direction where the carriage disappeared. "Last time, Brother Yan Yang, you broke the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique by yourself, and the teacher mentioned my marriage to my father. It seems that he wants Sister Rongrong to marry me, so that our two families can be together forever."

"Ning Fengzhi is so willing to do this? So how do women do it? Who of you two will be on top of whom?" Liu Yanyang's eyes sparkled as he looked Xue Qinghe up and down.

"Cough cough!"

Xue Qinghe coughed twice. It was the first time that she was stared at so closely by a member of the opposite sex, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Brother Xue, I'm sorry, I was a little distracted." Liu Yanyang said nonsense.

Xue Qinghe could only wave his hands pretending to be indifferent and asked casually, "Brother Yang, what do you think of the Spirit Hall before Bibi Dong took office as the Pope?"

"Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi just finished probing, and you are starting to show your true colors!" Liu Yanyang thought to himself, then cleared his throat and said, "There are rumors that the Spirit Hall was established by the Angel God to collect the faith of all living beings."

After saying this, Liu Yanyang looked at Xue Qinghe, only to see her dazed for a moment, then nodded and said, "I have indeed heard of this."

"My goodness, the inheritor of the Angel God has heard of it," Liu Yanyang complained in his heart, and then looked at the setting sun.

"From top to bottom of the Spirit Hall, there are the Douluo Hall, the Elder Hall, the Pope Hall, the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Main Hall, the Spirit Sub-Hall, and the Spirit Branch Hall."

"The Douluo Hall is the final destination for all the Titled Douluo and above registered in the Spirit Hall. It is also the place that most spirit masters yearn for. The Elder Hall is the true power core of the Spirit Hall. The Pope Hall governs the Spirit Hall and is the most noble place in the Spirit Hall."

"The Spirit Temple, the Spirit Main Hall, the Spirit Sub-Hall, and the Spirit Branch Halls below basically cover all the cities in the entire Douluo Continent. Even the smallest city has a Spirit Branch Hall."

"With this specific structure, the Spirit Hall only needs to send out deacons to gain the faith of all living beings by helping civilians and civilian spirit masters awaken their spirits."

"If we can discover one or two civilian geniuses, it will be a great success for the Spirit Hall."

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly and asked tentatively, "So, Brother Yan Yang, you don't think highly of the previous Spirit Hall and think it is too selfish?"

Liu Yanyang shook his head. "Judging from deeds rather than hearts, no one is perfect if you look at their hearts."

"To judge a person or an organization, we should not judge by what he says, but by what he does."

"The Spirit Hall helps civilians and the descendants of civilian spirit masters awaken their spirits for free every year. They can even send people to villages that no one cares about to awaken the descendants of the villagers."

"I think the current Tiandou Empire can't do this or won't do it, right?"

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, "This will harm the interests of the nobles of the Tiandou Empire, or the benefits will be far less than the cost."

"On this basis alone, the Spirit Hall far surpasses the two empires. Although it is essentially for the belief of all living beings, it gives hope to civilians and civilian spirit masters. This is why the Spirit Hall can become a holy place for spirit masters."

“Speaking of the Soul Hunting Forest that came later, on the surface it was a fixed captivity set up by the empire for the advancement of low-level soul masters, but it was the Spirit Hall rather than the two empires that actually did this, am I right, Brother Xue?” “Brother Yan Yang, why do you have such an idea?” Xue Qinghe asked, pretending to be calm.

Liu Yanyang chuckled and said, "Brother Xue should be very clear about how much money, manpower and time it takes to capture soul beasts and raise them in captivity."

"This kind of time-consuming and labor-intensive project will definitely be maintained, but why is there only the Spirit Hall's law enforcement team patrolling the Soul Hunting Forest, and no law enforcement team from the Empire?"

"Because they don't care. The Spirit Hall is responsible for capturing and raising spirit beasts, and the two empires only need to provide land and then they can be listed in the name. Why not do something good that can gain fame without any effort?"

Xue Qinghe nodded and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Brother Yan Yang, you are right."

"You are really good at pretending, Qian Renxue!" Liu Yanyang thought to himself, and then continued, "Since the Soul Hunting Forest, the Spirit Hall and the two empires have actually begun to force low-level spirit masters to make a choice of which side to join."

“After all, to enter the Soul Hunting Forest, you need a warrant issued by the Spirit Hall. For low-level soul masters, there are only two ways to obtain a warrant.

"First, join the Spirit Hall. Second, obtain the Spirit Hall's recognition, and need guarantees from at least three imperial nobles."

"But I don't need to explain what most of the imperial nobles are like, Brother Xue."

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly. Having been undercover in the Tiandou Empire for so many years, she had seen the ugliness of those nobles.

Liu Yanyang coughed twice and said, "The last point is the soul master subsidy."

"The two empires allocated funds, and the Spirit Hall distributed them on their behalf. Why didn't the two empires do this kind of good thing of gaining fame themselves, but let the Spirit Hall intervene."

"The root cause is that all three parties benefited. The Spirit Hall gained the faith of most sentient beings, making it a holy place for spirit masters."

"The royal families of the two empires can also benefit from this and earn reputation. After all, the royal families cannot afford this money, so they can only let the subordinate princes and nobles pay for it. But the most important thing is to pressure them."

"If we don't want to be exploited by the Spirit Hall, then we must unite against the enemy and turn internal conflicts into external ones. Then they will support the royal family more wholeheartedly."

"After all, if the royal family falls, the princes and nobles will also be finished. As for money, it is a piece of cake for them. They just need to squeeze the civilians in the fiefdom as much as possible."

Xue Qinghe was shocked. She didn't expect Liu Yanyang to see the Spirit Hall and the two empires so clearly.

"From these three points of view, compared with the two empires, the Spirit Hall is simply too good, so I think the previous Spirit Hall is definitely a blessing for the civilians of the mainland."

"But the Spirit Hall led by Bibi Dong is now extremely corrupt and on the brink of destruction."

After saying this, Liu Yanyang stared at Xue Qinghe and said loudly, "The Elders' Hall is the one that caused the current situation and bears the main responsibility. The Pope was elected by them. They are to blame for Bibi Dong becoming the Pope."

"The Spirit Hall has come to this point, but they did not take action to stop it. Instead, they let Bibi Dong do whatever she wants. This is simply a heinous crime."

The words were deafening in Xue Qinghe's mind, and her eyes were full of confusion, "Grandpa, are you really letting Bibi Dong harm the Spirit Hall?" (ps: This paragraph was written based on the original novel. After reading it, the author only had one thought, that is, all the high-level officials of the Spirit Hall were basically backstabbing the inheritor of the Angel God, Qian Renxue, including Qian Daoliu!)
