Chapter 51: Tang Xiao Descends the Mountain, a 100,000-Year Soul Beast Attacks
"It seems that after we sealed the mountain for a few years, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan couldn't hold on either and are about to become vassals of the Spirit Hall."
"They even propped up some 'Blue Silver City,' what a joke."
A group of elderly men pointed and commented on the news brought by Tang Yuehua.
They didn't take Tang Hao's death seriously, nor did they take Blue Silver City seriously.
All they felt was anger at the betrayal of the other Upper Three Clans.
And, a display of confidence.
"No need to worry about them."
"Anyway, no matter what happens to Tang Hao, there's no need to worry; the Spirit Hall's schemes are naturally useless."
"No matter how strong the Spirit Hall is, they wouldn't dare to ascend our mountain!"
Several elders didn't care about Tang Hao; a 100,000-year soul beast was not very useful to them at their current level.
They had already surpassed the need for a 100,000-year soul beast, and furthermore, the current situation of the Clear Sky Sect was not suitable for them to emerge.
These words made Tang Yuehua, who had been full of anticipation, turn pale.
"Big Brother…"
Tang Yuehua's gaze quickly shifted to her elder brother.
She hoped that he wouldn't abandon her Brother Hao like those elders had.
"I understand the situation; don't worry."
"I plan to go personally and take a look at that Blue Silver City."
Meeting Tang Yuehua's gaze, Tang Xiao quickly made a decision.
Back then, he failed to protect Tang Hao, allowing him to leave the Clear Sky Sect and even be expelled from the clan.
Now that he had news of Tang Hao, he was determined to bring him back.
Even if this trip might be a little dangerous.
"No, you can't go."
"They all said it's a conspiracy by the Spirit Hall, and you still want to go?"
"Tang Hao, Tang Hao, Tang Hao, is that guy so important that you'd disregard everything?"
"What if something happens to you? What about the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Do you want to follow in Tang Hao's footsteps?"
The elders directly refuted Tang Xiao as he spoke.
"As the Sect Master, you must bear the responsibility of the Sect Master."
"Tang Yuehua, the Sect Master cannot mess around with you, and Tang Hao is no longer one of us. We cannot risk ourselves for an outsider."
"Tang Yuehua, do you also want to be removed from the Clear Sky Sect?"
At this moment, not only were they displeased with Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, but an elder even directly put pressure on Tang Yuehua.
If it weren't for her pleading look, how could Tang Xiao have made such a decision?
"Elders, Brother Hao, he…"
Tang Yuehua still wanted to explain something more.
To plead for her Brother Hao.
However, her words were cut short.
Tang Xiao had already turned around, standing in front of her, his expression cold and arrogant.
"Elders, I am no longer who I was back then."
"This time, it's not that dangerous. I must go and see."
"I can guarantee that as long as I don't find Brother Hao in danger, I won't make a move. Even if it's the Spirit Hall, if I don't act, they shouldn't be able to find me, right?"
Back then, his strength was insufficient, coupled with the great threat from the Spirit Hall and his father's orders, he became the Sect Master.
But now, he was a Level 96 Titled Douluo, no longer the same as he was back then.
He even had the confidence to break through to Level 97 if given a few more years.
"Tang Xiao, you…"
Seeing Tang Xiao display the might of a Level 96 Titled Douluo as he spoke, the elders' faces turned grim.
It was clear that he was determined to go, all for that Tang Hao.
"Elders, you cannot stop me."
"I'll apologize to you all when I return."
"If it's just a conspiracy, I'll come back without doing anything."
"If there are other unexpected circumstances, whether it's the reputation of the Upper Three Clans or Brother Hao, I will fight to reclaim them."
"I'll send you a message then."
After Tang Xiao finished speaking, he turned and pulled Tang Yuehua, walking out.
He completely disregarded the attitudes of the other elders.
This time, it would be best if he could bring Brother Hao back as well. As long as he apologized to the elders, they would forgive him.
"Little sister, come with me…"
Tang Yuehua naturally couldn't stop him and followed him out.
Watching the two figures quickly pass through the sect gate.
"The whole family is like this."
"Where is the responsibility of a Sect Master?"
"His wings have hardened, what a Tang Xiao."
The elders of the Clear Sky Sect exchanged glances, stomping their feet in frustration, but they were also helpless.
These so-called Clear Sky Twin Stars were truly alike.
"Are we really not going to stop him?"
"How do we stop him? Do you want to fight him?"
"His legs are his own; can you control him if he wants to go?"
The old men grumbled, and finally, the Seventh Elder couldn't take it anymore.
"No, I'll go. I'll just follow behind. If there's any problem, I must stop him."
"The sect will rely on you guys for now."
Although he hated Tang Hao, the Seventh Elder, Blazing Sun Douluo, didn't want to see Tang Xiao perish like this.
If that happened, their Clear Sky Sect would truly face a generational gap, as the younger generation hadn't been nurtured yet.
Tang Xiao still had his value.
That guy, if Tang Hao really appeared in Blue Silver City, would definitely act impulsively.
If he then fell into the Spirit Hall's conspiracy, someone would have to stop him.
"Old Seven, alas, alright."
"How about I go with you?"
The other elders looked at Blazing Sun Douluo and nodded.
It was just to take a look; surely nothing major would happen, right?
Moreover, it wasn't the Spirit Hall, just a new force near the Star Dou Great Forest.
"No need, I'll go alone. If an accident occurs, I won't have to worry about escaping."
Blazing Sun Douluo even thought that if there really was an accident, he could drag some Spirit Hall members to their deaths, which would be a satisfying release.
For so many years, he had been too suppressed…
There was the oppression from the Spirit Hall, and also the grievances he encountered in the Clear Sky Sect.
Worried about not catching up, Blazing Sun Douluo quickly gave his instructions and then pursued.
Only four old men were left to guard the sect.
Now, it was just these old bones.
The younger generation capable of taking charge had not yet risen.
News from the Clear Sky Sect also spread across the continent, intensifying over time.
Making people even more aware of the existence of Blue Silver City.
And as time passed, the battles near Blue Silver City became even more fierce.
Initially, soul beasts attacked people in various places.
With Blue Silver City's counterattack, many soul beasts had been annihilated.
But now, the soul beasts' counterattack had also arrived.
Whether voluntarily or forced, large numbers of soul beasts appeared outside the Star Dou Great Forest, specifically attacking people entering and exiting Blue Silver City.
Now, it was completely a war between soul beasts and Blue Silver City.
Moreover, this time, a 100,000-year soul beast had even directly taken action.
On this day, a soul beast clearing team led by a Soul Douluo lost contact.
And this essentially meant the news of their complete annihilation.
The last message sent back by the communication crystal was that the 100,000-year soul beast, the Titan Giant Ape, had personally acted.
In a desolate grassland east of Blue Silver City, a deserted place now bore traces of a great soul master battle, with many cratered areas and fluctuations of soul power.
No bodies were left, neither human nor soul beast; only the damaged grassland and bloodstains remained.
Several figures quickly streaked through the air, descending from the sky. Dugu Bo, clad in green armor and with a grim face, led several Soul Douluo and quickly arrived.
They had rushed over almost as soon as they received the news, but it was still too late.
Looking at everything nearby, the aura had traveled far. At the speed of a 100,000-year soul beast, it would be difficult to catch up, and it might even be a trap.
"Damn it."
Dugu Bo cursed under his breath. He had originally hoped that if the Soul Douluo squad could hold on, he could save them first.
As long as they blocked the 100,000-year soul beast, the others could directly provide rescue, and this area was not far from Blue Silver City, so reinforcements could arrive continuously.
A few breaths after they landed, a spatial fluctuation appeared, and several figures flickered into existence.
"It seems it's already over."
Ning Fengzhi looked at the scene, where there were no bodies and Dugu Bo's expression was poor, and surveyed the surroundings.
As if trying to find something different.
"A 100,000-year soul beast, truly rare to see."
Bone Douluo was a bit depressed at the side.
He had rushed over with Dugu Bo as soon as he heard the news.
Sword Douluo, on the other hand, sensed everything around him and only gave up after finding no trace of the 100,000-year soul beast.
"What are you doing following us?"
Dugu Bo looked at the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. These guys…
Now that there was nothing to do, they kept trying to understand the situation of Blue Silver City, even pretending to help.
Offering help without being asked, with ulterior motives.
"Poison Douluo, please don't misunderstand. We are just curious about the 100,000-year soul beast, and also, we were worried about danger and wanted to help."
"After all, if we really deal with a 100,000-year soul beast, others will definitely be sacrificed."
"Dealing with soul beasts is our bounden duty."
Ning Fengzhi had a gentle smile on his face, looking full of goodwill.
But it made Dugu Bo roll his eyes.
It would be good if these guys had no ulterior motives.
And on this point, he truly wronged the other party, at least for now, Ning Fengzhi genuinely wanted to curry favor with Blue Silver City.
After all, now, he couldn't even see the blue sky anymore.
