Haotian Sect.
"Hahaha!!! Spirit Hall, you've finally met your match?"
Inside the council hall, the elders of the Haotian Sect couldn't stop smiling as they looked at the message that Tang Yuehua had sent after going through so much trouble and taking half a month to deliver.
For them, nothing was more gratifying than watching the Spirit Hall suffer.
This agitated state lasted for about fifteen minutes before subsiding, but judging from their still slightly upturned lips, it would probably take them quite some time to calm down completely.
Tang Xiao, the sect leader sitting in the main seat, smiled and said after everyone quieted down: "The news of the Spirit Hall's titled Douluo being wiped out is indeed something to be happy about, but I think this is also an opportunity."
"Oh? What do you mean, Sect Master?"
The second elder of the Haotian Sect sensed a hidden meaning in Tang Xiao's words and narrowed his eyes.
The other four elders present also looked at Tang Xiao, wanting to see how he would respond.
Facing the gazes of the five Title Douluo elders within the sect, Tang Xiao's expression remained unchanged as he spoke according to his own thoughts: "The Spirit Hall has lost at least two Title Douluos this time, and has also offended such a powerful enemy. It can be said that the Spirit Hall is at its weakest point in decades."
"On the contrary, after more than ten years of biding our time, our Clear Sky Sect has already produced six Title Douluo. If we can unite with the other two sects and Qing Mu, we might be able to seize this opportunity to destroy the Spirit Hall and avenge the disciples who died in the catastrophe!"
Upon hearing this, the five elders present were all intrigued.
Especially the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, whose own son was killed in an attack launched by the Spirit Hall, was naturally very excited to have the opportunity to take revenge on the Spirit Hall.
However, after a while, the Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, who had calmed down, frowned and said, "Sect Master, your suggestion is very good, but don't forget that the Spirit Hall still has Qian Daoliu!"
Now that our ancestors are gone, how can we possibly contend with the Thousand Streams?
The words of the Second Elder of the Haotian Sect were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing their newly ignited fighting spirit.
Yes, Qian Daoliu is a Limit Douluo. As long as he doesn't die, the Spirit Hall can't really be in trouble.
This is also one of the reasons why their Haotian Sect, when faced with the pressure from the Spirit Hall, offered almost no resistance and simply sealed off the mountain.
Because they knew that if they really angered the Spirit Hall, and with Tang Chen not around, if Qian Daoliu made a move, the Clear Sky Sect would only have one path: destruction.
It's important to understand that from their perspective, Qian Daoliu's son, Qian Xunji, died because of Tang Hao, and the reason for their conflict was that Qian Xunji wanted to hunt down a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast.
Although the transformed soul beast was Tang Hao's wife, if this got out, their Clear Sky Sect would be in the wrong no matter what.
After all, if Tang Hao is in the right, then wouldn't all the soul masters who rely on killing soul beasts to obtain soul rings be evil?
So what if she's Tang Hao's wife? She's still a soul beast!
It is only natural for Soul Masters to hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings!
The words of the Second Elder of Haotian Sect made Tang Xiao pause. Qian Daoliu was indeed a huge obstacle in their way. If they did not deal with this obstacle, everything they said would be like a rootless duckweed.
But Tang Xiao's desire for revenge still made him continue, "Qian Daoliu hasn't shown up for so long, who knows if he's still alive or not? Maybe he's already dead?"
"If Qian Daoliu were still alive, why didn't he take action when his son died? That was his only son!!!"
"I ask you, elders present, if your sons were fatally wounded while hunting for spirit rings, could you refrain from intervening?"
"..."
Tang Xiao's words silenced the Haotian Sect elders present. They asked themselves if they would have intervened if they were in the same situation.
The Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect deeply understood this point. He harbored an overwhelming hatred for Tang Hao simply because his son had died at the hands of the Spirit Hall, an indirect act.
If Tang Hao had killed his son directly, he wouldn't even dare to imagine how deep his hatred would have been.
Seeing the elders remain silent, Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't sure whether Qian Daoliu was dead or not, just as they didn't know whether Tang Chen was dead or not. That level of powerhouse had exceeded their imagination.
Then, Tang Xiao pressed his advantage, saying, "Moreover, even if Qian Daoliu were still alive, he might not make a move. After all, he didn't even make a move when his son died, which means he must be held back by something and unable to make a move."
Listening to Tang Xiao's analysis, the five elders of the Haotian Sect all nodded in agreement. Indeed, if that were the case, then the threat posed by Qian Daoliu could be almost ignored.
However, if Qian Daoliu is ignored, even if the Spirit Hall has hidden Title Douluos, they will not be able to cause any significant trouble in front of the Allied Forces!
After all, they suffered a crushing defeat against Qing Mu, a Soul Saint, and even caused the deaths of several Title Douluos. How strong could the Spirit Hall be, even if it had hidden Title Douluos?
Upon realizing this, the elders immediately looked at each other and began to communicate with their eyes.
After a long pause, the elders reached a consensus and nodded to Tang Xiao, saying, "Alright, Sect Master, we'll do as you say!"
Upon hearing this, a smile of excitement appeared on Tang Xiao's lips.
Ah Yin, I can finally avenge you!
......
Outside the City of Slaughter.
Tang Hao ordered a Bloody Mary and handed it to Tang San, saying, "Drink it!"
Tang San was somewhat confused, but he knew that Tang Hao, as his father, would not harm him, so he drank it down in one gulp.
However, as soon as the liquid entered his throat, he felt a burning sensation similar to lava flowing through his esophagus, and his skin instantly turned bright red.
After a while, Tang San finally recovered and asked Tang Hao, "Dad, what exactly is this Bloody Mary?"
"It's human blood!"
Tang Hao replied without changing his expression.
Tang San's eyes widened instantly, and his stomach churned.
Tang Hao actually gave him this kind of thing to drink?
Seeing this, Tang Hao sneered, "You can't even handle this? Once you enter the City of Slaughter, what you'll experience will be a thousand times, ten thousand times more terrifying than Bloody Mary."
If you can't stand this, I can cancel your subsequent training, but then you will no longer be my son, Tang Hao's son. I, Tang Hao, don't have such a terrible son as you.
Upon hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang San immediately suppressed his nausea.
His kinship with Tang Hao was the most precious thing to him, and it was also what he longed for most in his previous life. How could he possibly give it up because of this?
