Chapter 89: The Curtain Falls, Blame Tang Hao!
With the instantaneous deaths of Tang Xiao and the Second Elder, the Five Elements Return Formation collapsed without a fight!
The remaining four elders were completely exposed to Golden Crocodile, Azure Phoenix, Thousand Jun, and Demon Subduing.
"It's time to end this."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's eighth spirit ring appeared beneath him, also a 100,000-year spirit ring!
"Eighth Spirit Skill, Crocodile King's Fatal Bite!"
A phantom of a golden crocodile king, ten thousand meters in size, opened its gigantic maw, large enough to devour the heavens and earth!
"No..."
Two of the elders were instantly swallowed by the gigantic maw, not even having time to scream.
"My turn." Azure Phoenix Douluo's expression was indifferent, "Ninth Spirit Skill, Myriad Blade Wind Killing Formation!"
Azure flames descended from the sky! Azure wind appeared out of thin air, and the next second, the wind transformed into tens of thousands of Azure Phoenix blades, sharper than blades, instantly forming a huge storm cage!
"Ah—!"
Another elder, along with his Clear Sky Hammer, was sliced into countless fragments by the Thousand Blade Wind Killing Array!
"Hahaha, it's our turn, brothers!"
"Unyielding Staff Technique, First Form: Fighting Heaven and Earth!"
The coiled dragon staffs in their hands transformed into two towering pillars, crashing down fiercely!
"Bang!"
The last Clear Sky Sect elder, along with his martial soul, turned to dust!
The battle was over.
From Tang Chen's death to the complete annihilation of Tang Xiao and the others, the entire process took no more than thirty seconds!
Although the five titled elders of the Clear Sky Sect and Sect Master Tang Xiao used their soul skills to fight desperately at the last moment, the difference in strength was ultimately too great.
The entire Clear Sky Sect—one Quasi-God and two Super Five Titled Elders—who came to the Spirit Hall to demand an explanation, had all perished!
As the last four elders fell, their bodies also fell from the sky.
And as they fell, seven rays of light emanated from their bodies.
Soul Bones!
With a wave of her hand, Bibi Dong sent all seven soul bones, along with the six soul bones that Tang Chen had previously possessed, flying to her front.
Adding the soul bone from Tang Hao obtained directly, there are a total of nineteen soul bones!
This is the spoils of war, one of which is even a 100,000-year-old one!
"Hiss..."
Even Bibi Dong gasped when she saw these nineteen soul bones, especially Tang Chen's 100,000-year-old one, as well as several other high-quality soul bones.
This is a huge win!
She suppressed her joy and looked at Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who were sitting cross-legged recovering not far behind her, their faces still pale.
"Elder Ju, Elder Gui."
"The two of you have made great contributions this time."
Bibi Dong's voice was devoid of any emotion, but her words made the two elders, Ju and Gui, tremble with excitement!
"After you recover from your injuries, you can choose any of these nineteen soul bones that suit you and absorb them first!"
"As for the rest, we'll see if the other elders need any." Bibi Dong then glanced at Qing Luan and the others.
If she remembered correctly, among the elders, only Qian Daoliu and Jin E had fully equipped soul bones; the other elders all had some vacancies.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were overjoyed!
They knew that among these nineteen soul bones was the 100,000-year soul bone that Tang Chen had dropped!
Of course, they wouldn't be so arrogant as to covet that 100,000-year soul bone; even Bibi Dong herself was probably tempted by it, but even if Bibi Dong said so, they wouldn't dare to take it.
And not counting that 100,000-year soul bone, the other soul bones on Tang Chen, Tang Xiao, and the five elders were definitely of high quality!
They had truly made the right choice this time!
"Where did this Haotian Sect get so many high-quality soul bones?"
Yue Guan wondered, while overjoyed.
He knew that none of Tang Chen's soul bones were less than 50,000 years old.
And the thirteen soul bones that Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and his five elders had dropped also seemed to be of extremely high quality, half of them over 50,000 years old, and two or three of them reaching the 70,000-80,000-year level!
This didn't make sense!
Even the Spirit Hall, with its vast resources, possesses spirit bones over 50,000 years old—strategic resources that are not easily bestowed.
What gives the Clear Sky Sect the advantage?
The Clear Sky Sect has far fewer disciples than the Spirit Hall; where does it get such resources?
The Spirit Hall possesses so many spirit bones not only because of years of accumulation, but also because of the sheer number of spirit masters they have.
This means they can hunt spirit beasts in greater numbers, naturally increasing their chances of obtaining spirit bones compared to other sects.
Of course, they didn't intend to indiscriminately kill soul beasts; each hunt was for normal breakthrough needs.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were completely baffled.
Just then, Qian Daoliu, who had been standing by as if an outsider, finally moved.
He didn't look at the soul bones; he didn't need them.
He simply waved his hand.
A holy and gentle soul power, like a spring breeze, swept away the pungent smell of blood in the square instantly.
It was as if the battle had never happened.
After doing all this, Qian Daoliu spoke calmly, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.
"Someone."
"Tie up the remains of Tang Chen and those elders as intact as possible."
"Then, send them back to the Haotian Sect."
"What?!"
Hearing this, not only Yue Guan and Gui Mei, but even the elders like Jin E and Qing Luan, and even Bibi Dong, showed extremely strange expressions.
What kind of operation was the Grand Elder doing?
Killing people, then sewing up the corpses and sending them back?
Was this an insult to the Clear Sky Sect?
Or a provocation?
Golden Crocodile Douluo, being the most straightforward, couldn't help but step forward, his voice booming, "Brother! Why go through all this trouble!"
"In my opinion, we should take this opportunity to lead men to storm the Clear Sky Sect, wipe them out completely, and eliminate any future threat!"
However, Qian Daoliu simply shook his head: "No need."
"The Clear Sky Sect can no longer cause any trouble."
"You choose a time to send these bodies back. Give the remaining members of the Clear Sky Sect two choices."
"First, the Clear Sky Sect announces to the outside world that it has become an affiliated sect of my Spirit Hall."
"Second, if they don't want that, leave the old, weak, women, and children behind, and kill the rest..."
These elders, including Bibi Dong, breathed a sigh of relief.
Who knows what they were thinking when they first heard "No need"?
Given the situation, were they really going to keep the Clear Sky Sect alive?
However, the two choices Qian Daoliu mentioned next were a compromise.
No matter what, the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul was still a top-tier martial soul, and Qian Daoliu probably didn't want its lineage to be severed.
The first method was slightly gentler.
The second method was more cruel.
And many of them actually preferred the second method.
After all, they understood the principle of raising a tiger to cause trouble.
Qian Daoliu had his men send the body back, partly out of a final bit of respect for his old rival, Tang Chen.
Death is a serious matter; leaving him with a complete body was the last dignity of a legend of his era.
As for whether the others in the Clear Sky Sect would think he was provoking them, that didn't matter.
With a high-level combat force wiped out, the sect was already dead in name only.
Looking at Tang Chen's corpse, Qian Daoliu sighed inwardly:
"Tang Chen, Tang Chen, it's really not that my Spirit Hall wants to sever the Clear Sky Sect's lineage."
Qian Daoliu murmured to himself.
"You came looking for trouble yourself. I'm only sparing your sect because I have a last shred of mercy."
"If you have to blame someone, blame your reckless grandson, Tang Hao."
