"Have you heard? So far, over a hundred branch halls of the Spirit Hall have been attacked?"
"Isn't that right? I also heard that it wasn't just Haotian Douluo who launched the attack, but also the three upper sects and other forces. It seems that they saw that the Spirit Hall was weak and wanted to take action against it."
"Tsk tsk~ It seems that the Spirit Hall is not going to survive."
"Shh, watch your words. Although the Spirit Hall is in decline, it is still the strongest."
"So what? The Spirit Hall has incurred the wrath of the masses. No matter how strong they are, can they possibly withstand the combined forces of other powers?"
"Hey, I get the feeling you guys really want the Spirit Hall to die. If it dies, who's going to give us Spirit Master subsidies and help us awaken our Spirits?"
"The Soul Master subsidy isn't paid for by the Spirit Hall. As for awakening a Martial Soul, heh! I'm a nobleman, I don't need to worry about these things."
"It should have been like this a long time ago. The thought that those poor bastards could turn their lives around with their martial spirits makes me so angry..."
...
Inside the restaurant, many Soul Masters and nobles were talking, their voices varying in volume, but all of it reached Di Tian's ears.
As he listened, Di Tian savored the tea, which was said to be the finest, and thought to himself, "Humans really are a bunch of rabble, always fighting amongst themselves. But this Spirit Hall is quite interesting. Perhaps I can go to Spirit City and observe just how far humanity's research on spirits has progressed."
Di Tian has been infiltrating the human world for more than ten days and has gained a preliminary understanding of the current state of humanity.
He discovered that humans were weaker than he had imagined, with only about a dozen Title Douluos on the surface, and none of them were even above level 97.
The strongest soul master faction among humans is called the Spirit Hall. By awakening martial souls for commoners and distributing soul master subsidies, it controls most of the soul masters in the world, and has four or five titled Douluo.
However, that was in the past. Some time ago, the Spirit Hall seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, losing two Title Douluos. After that, various forces began to test the Spirit Hall. Finally, with the help of a human named Tang Hao, the fact that the Spirit Hall was no longer viable was completely confirmed.
However, when he thought of Tang Hao, Di Tian's eyes turned cold. "I didn't expect that there would be a soul beast mixed with a human, even bearing children for this human, and even sacrificing itself for this human. It seems that they have completely abandoned their identity as soul beasts."
Originally, Tang Hao and Ah Yin's affair was a secret, but because Tang Hao kept publicizing the Spirit Hall's hatred for him for killing his wife in order to justify his actions, the Spirit Hall also made it public for the sake of public opinion that Ah Yin was a 100,000-year-old transformed spirit beast.
This incident caused quite a stir, with many people condemning the Spirit Hall, since forbidden love like this is very popular in the Douluo Continent!
Of course, some people agree, while others disagree. It's perfectly normal for Soul Masters to hunt Soul Rings, especially since they are 100,000-year-old Soul Rings and Soul Bones. Few Soul Masters would dare to honestly say that they wouldn't be tempted.
Although this matter is controversial among humans, it is absolutely unforgivable for Di Tian!
Such behavior is undoubtedly a denial of his beliefs.
Therefore, the moment Di Tian heard and confirmed this news, he mentally labeled Ah Yin as a bestial rapist.
An hour later, Di Tian tossed down a dozen or so gold soul coins and prepared to leave the restaurant.
As for the money Di Tian got, he could have easily obtained it by killing a few Soul Masters while gathering information.
Suddenly, Di Tian stopped in his tracks, because he had heard some interesting news.
Inside a private room, a man dressed in black robes addressed a richly dressed man in front of him: "The final assault will begin in three days. Are you ready?"
The elegantly dressed man smiled and said, "We've been prepared for a long time. Don't you trust us?"
"That's good. We must finish this in three days and leave the Spirit Hall no opportunity to take advantage of us!"
Upon hearing this, the man in black nodded and lowered his voice.
The two then discussed some details before the man in black left the restaurant.
The man in black robes moved quickly and soon left Tiandou City; he had other things to do.
However, after walking several miles out of Tiandou City, the man in black robes suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowing. He saw a middle-aged man in black blocking his way, but he hadn't noticed him at all.
The man in black robes looked grave and said in a hoarse voice, "Friend, why are you suddenly blocking my way? Is there something you need?"
"I am very interested in your plans in the restaurant. Could you please explain them to me in detail?"
Di Tian looked at the man in black robes in front of him and spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, the black-robed man's pupils shrank sharply, and seven soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—immediately appeared, surrounding him.
"Are you a lackey of the Spirit Hall?"
The man in black robes held a jet-black iron hammer and watched Di Tian warily. He would launch an attack the moment Di Tian made any move.
Faced with the threat from the man in black robes, Di Tian ignored it. He considered the mere Soul Saint no different from an ant in front of him.
"You just need to answer my questions; you don't need to worry about anything else."
In an instant, the dragon's might erupted from Di Tian's body. That domineering aura caused the black-robed man's face to turn pale, and he even lost his grip on the Haotian Hammer in his hand.
This was the result of Di Tian's deliberate control. If Di Tian were to unleash his threat without any restraint, the person in front of him might be instantly crushed into bloody foam.
Di Tian's power has surpassed the imagination of ordinary soul masters. Even if the three peerless Douluo Tang Chen, Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu joined forces, they would not pose any threat to Di Tian without using their divine power.
"I...I'll say..."
Finally, after the man in black robes was forced to kneel, and after confirming that the person in front of him was not from the Spirit Hall, he spoke.
"The matter is as follows, and so on..."
Under the fear of death and the unknown, the man in black robes revealed the Haotian Sect's plans in detail, including how to seize the opportunity, how to unite the strength of various sects, and the final battle against the Spirit Hall in the future!
After listening to the black-robed man's story, Di Tian directly crushed the man's head with a wave of his hand and destroyed his body.
Di Tian sneered: "Humans fighting like dogs? This is a good thing for me. No matter what the final result is, humanity will be severely weakened. It's a pity that now is not the time for us to emerge. The Lord's injuries have not yet been fully healed, otherwise, now would be a good time to wipe out humanity."
"but..."
Suddenly, Di Tian changed the subject and continued, "Such a scene will inevitably gather the strongest human beings, and perhaps the human who killed the Demon King is among them."
