Chapter 223: Absent
Instead, they are all the targets of the Spirit Hall's recruitment.
During the sect competition, almost every lone Spirit Master would be wooed by the Spirit Hall.
If it were usual, those lone Spirit Masters would stay after seeing the powerful foundation of the Spirit Hall. Even many Spirit Master families would choose to join the Spirit Hall in order to go further.
The same thing would be done by other sects, but their clansmen are often very xenophobic and regard the family's inherited Spirit as everything. Therefore, there are very few who can recruit lone Spirit Masters.
Only the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, which was founded with auxiliary Spirits, is slightly better. Every sect competition can recruit many excellent Spirit Masters by offering generous conditions.
But this time, it seems that the number of Spirit Masters recruited by the major families will be reduced a lot.
Even the Spirit Hall, the largest Spirit Master organization in Douluo Continent, will be affected a lot.
Who asked the Spirit Master Guild to appear out of nowhere?
In the Spirit Master Guild, as long as you register as a mercenary and complete certain tasks, you will not only be protected by the Spirit Master Guild and send your children to study in the Spirit Master Guild Academy, but also enter the Spirit Master Guild Elite Training Camp through points and get the opportunity to receive guidance from the top leaders of the Spirit Master Guild.
The most important thing is that your personal freedom is not bound. As long as you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about your safety.
This has led to more and more Spirit Masters, and more and more people choosing to join and become mercenaries of the Spirit Master Guild.
At this time, a group of people flew out of the Pope's Palace. Qian Xunji, who was wrapped in golden light, flew in the front, and Jinzhong and Yinchui, two close guards of Douluo, followed behind him. Behind them were twelve cardinals. Each of them was stepping on a flying Spirit guide that was extremely rare in Douluo Continent.
Seeing this group of people coming, Juegui and the two people who were responsible for hosting this sect competition shouted in unison, "His Holiness the Pope is here."
"Long live, long live, long live." Three voices like a tsunami sounded in Spirit City.
Except for the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, who were self-servants, the rest of the lone Spirit Masters, and even the leaders of the major sects, all knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings to His Majesty the Pope."
In addition, the only one who did not kneel was Juegui Douluo. Now their status in the Spirit Hall is extremely high, second only to the Pope and the worshiper, and ranked first among the elders.
Qian Xunji also thinks highly of them. In order to win over the two, he exempted them from the etiquette of kneeling.
The slight difference is that they bowed slightly to Qian Xunji to show respect, while the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect just stood up and saluted to show respect.
As for the Spirit Master Guild, for some reason, no one has arrived yet.
Qian Xunji, wearing a bright red robe from head to toe, a golden armor, and a nine-curve purple gold crown on his head, landed first in the VIP seat with a majestic look on his face. He walked to the throne at the top.
The golden bell and silver hammer and twelve cardinals followed closely behind and stood on the left and right.
Qian Xunji did not sit down directly.
Instead, he turned around and looked around. When he saw that Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and even Ning Fengzhi and Yu Luomian, who were not Title Douluo Spirit Masters, did not kneel down, and did not even bow, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Then he saw that the seats of the Spirit Master Guild were empty, and he became even more displeased.
He snorted coldly, threw the Pope's red robe, and slowly sat down, "Stand up."
All the people who were kneeling on the ground stood up.
Qian Xunji's eyes swept over the Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Sword Sect, Black Tiger Sect, and more than a dozen other Spirit Master sects that were qualified to participate in the sect competition. His face became more and more gloomy.
At this time, there was still half an hour before the sect competition.
He turned his head and said to Jin Zhong beside him: "Jin Zhong, why haven't you seen anyone from the Spirit Master Guild yet?"
"Your Majesty, we sent out an invitation a year ago, and they agreed to participate, but I don't know why they were delayed."
Jin Zhong was also very confused.
Not only him, but also the Spirit Master sects and spectators who came and went felt the same way. Logically speaking, with the presence of the peerless strong man Lin Hanye, it was almost certain that the Spirit Master Guild would win the title of the number one sect in the world, and it should be unlikely that they would not participate.
Why they hadn't arrived yet was puzzling to many people.
In the direction of Clear Sky Sect, the Haozi brothers, Sect Master Tang Wei, and several of the sect elders who were accompanying them exchanged glances, all of which revealed joy in their eyes.
Second Elder Tang Bai sent a message to the people of Clear Sky Sect, saying, "Sect Master, the Spirit Master Guild is absent from the sect competition this time. It seems that the backup plan left by the ancestors has worked."
Tang Wei nodded, and his originally tense expression suddenly relaxed a lot.
Tang Hao snorted coldly, "If the Ring Blast is really that easy to learn, then my Clear Sky Sect would not only be able to practice the Clear Sky Douluo successor. This person actually tried to steal my Clear Sky Sect's unique skills, and he deserved this fate."
Tang Xiao and the elders nodded, and they all showed a gloating expression.
In their view, Lin Hanye must have gone wrong in practicing the Ring Blast and suffered a backlash. In addition, Lin Hanye has never shown up in front of outsiders since the last Spirit Master Guild's opening ceremony.
It is very likely that he has been backlashed to the point that he cannot go out.
Ning Fengzhi, who was not far away, was also very confused when he saw that no one from the Spirit Master Guild had come yet. Seeing the look of the people from the Clear Sky Sect, he guessed that the Spirit Master Guild's absence might be related to the Clear Sky Sect.
So he asked with Spirit power transmission: "Master Tang, do you know why Lin Hanye is absent?"
Tang Wei nodded, but he didn't hide it, just omitted some of the content, "I think it should be that Lin Hanye's practice of my Clear Sky Sect's unique skill, the Great Sumeru Hammer, went wrong. He didn't think that the Great Sumeru Hammer is a unique skill specially matched with the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit, and it is not so easy to learn. He just reaped the consequences."
Ning Fengzhi also knew something about the bet between Tang Chen and Lin Hanye. Hearing this, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart. He guessed that Tang Chen had probably seen Lin Hanye's ambition long ago, and then gave him a fake explosive ring to restrict him.
If Lin Hanye practiced the explosive ring, it would be reasonable for him to miss the sect competition.
But when thinking of Lin Hanye's identity as a master of theory, Ning Fengzhi's heart was quickly poured with a basin of cold water.
This Clear Sky Sect must have forgotten how Lin Hanye grew from a useless Spirit with half-level innate Spirit power to the present.
He wanted to use the fake explosive ring secret book to plot against the other party.
Are you really not afraid of losing the rice when stealing the chicken, and being learned by the other party?
It is hard to imagine that if Lin Hanye really learned the explosive ring, I am afraid that even the chief worshiper of the Spirit Hall and Tang Chen would not be able to suppress him.
Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi didn't dare to think about it anymore. He could only pray in his heart that the plan of the Clear Sky Sect would succeed.
In this way, an hour would soon pass.
Ning Fengzhi's mood also changed from uneasiness to worry, and finally hope and excitement.
In his opinion, if Lin Hanye didn't come to the sect this time, then the Clear Sky Sect, or more accurately, Tang Chen's plan would succeed.
Sure enough, the old ginger is still spicy!
Ning Fengzhi smiled with a long sigh of relief and sighed in his heart.
Just when Ning Fengzhi and the people of Clear Sky Sect were secretly happy, a stream of light in the distant sky shot rapidly towards the direction of Spirit City.
