Chapter 155 The Perilous Haotian Sect
In the past.
Haotian Sect.
Tang Hao stood atop the mountain, his expression extremely gloomy.
Three months have passed since Ah Yin was kidnapped.
He couldn't calm down whenever he thought about the 10-year soul ring that was about to be his and had disappeared.
"Damn it, don't let me find out who you are, or else..."
These days, the Haotian Sect has been mobilizing all its manpower to search for Lin Ye's whereabouts.
On one hand, the two brothers wanted revenge.
On the other hand, it was to rescue Ah Yin.
Tang Hao desperately wanted to rescue Ah Yin.
He no longer wanted to have any emotional entanglement with Ah Yin; that woman was no longer innocent and was not worthy of him.
But it can make her his ninth spirit ring.
Tatata!
Heavy footsteps came from behind him. Tang Hao knew without turning around that it was his older brother, Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao brought him both good news and bad news.
The good news is that information has been found about the masked man who kidnapped Ah Yin.
The bad news is that the other party has appeared at the Spirit Hall many times and seems to have a very close relationship with Pope Qian Xunji. It seems that he is very likely a member of the Spirit Hall.
"The Spirit Hall, so it's the Spirit Hall!" Tang Hao clenched his fists tightly, looking like he was gritting his teeth.
For him, the news was absolutely terrible.
If Ah Yin were to fall into the hands of other forces, they could use the powerful influence of the Haotian Sect, the number one sect on the continent, to force them to hand her over.
But if Ah Yin falls into the hands of the Spirit Hall, then there is truly no hope left.
This also means that his ninth spirit ring has vanished.
"Damn the Spirit Hall, I, Tang Hao, will never let you get away with this!" Tang Hao cursed, venting his anger.
Tang Xiao understood his younger brother's feelings perfectly; he himself felt the same way.
If it weren't for the Spirit Hall's formidable strength, he would have attacked the Spirit Hall long ago.
Tang Hao left the Haotian Sect that same day.
Three days later, Tang Hao appeared in a small town in the Heaven Dou Empire, where the Spirit Hall branch stood majestically before him.
Tang Hao looked up at the building in front of him, his eyes surging with killing intent. If he couldn't afford to offend the Spirit Hall headquarters, then he would first deal with their henchmen outside.
Only in this way can one vent their anger.
"Spirit Hall, destroy it!" Tang Hao roared, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand rapidly expanded to tens of meters in the wind.
This huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of passersby. When they saw that Tang Hao had eight spirit rings floating around him, they were all shocked and scattered in all directions.
Some people who entered and exited the Spirit Hall were so frightened that they were scared out of their wits.
"Oh my god, it's Contra! He's going to kill us!"
"Run!"
"Help! Don't kill me!"
The fear and pleas for mercy of these people reached Tang Hao's ears, but he automatically ignored them.
"Spirit Hall, give me back my Ah Yin."
Tang Hao roared and swung his massive Clear Sky Hammer, which was tens of meters long, heavily smashing it into the enormous Spirit Hall building.
This terrifying blow instantly caused the Spirit Hall's buildings to collapse, and many people inside were crushed to death or buried before they even understood what was happening.
The Spirit Hall branch in this small city, whose head bishop was only at the level of a Soul Emperor, also could not escape this calamity under Tang Hao's full-force swing of the Clear Sky Hammer.
This single blow resulted in nearly a hundred deaths and injuries.
Tang Hao looked at the Spirit Hall, which had been reduced to ruins, and his voice, filled with murderous intent, carried far and wide.
"This is just the beginning, Spirit Hall. Just wait, I will collect what you owe me one by one."
Tang Hao left, intending to find another remote Spirit Hall to continue his revenge against it.
Wuhun Temple.
As usual, Qian Xunji was handling government affairs in the Papal Palace.
A cardinal rushed into the Papal Palace. "Your Holiness, something terrible has happened! Our Spirit Hall's branches in multiple locations have been destroyed by a Soul Douluo with the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit."
Qian Xunji frowned: "Do you know who from the Haotian Sect was responsible?"
"Based on the descriptions of the surviving witnesses, it should be Tang Hao," the cardinal replied.
After pondering for a moment, Qian Xunji said, "Immediately lodge a protest with the Clear Sky Sect, demanding a reasonable explanation and an immediate halt to their heinous attacks on our Spirit Hall."
These words were spoken.
The cardinal was somewhat puzzled. They had already taken hammers and smashed our Spirit Hall branch, yet the Pope's response was merely a protest.
This... it just feels like the Spirit Hall is afraid of the Clear Sky Sect!
But he was just a bishop, and the Papal Court's decision was not something he could question. For the time being, he could only obey orders. "Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."
After speaking, the cardinal slowly withdrew from the Papal Palace.
A cold glint flashed in Qian Xunji's eyes as he muttered in a low voice, "Tang Hao, if you have the guts, keep smashing. I'll take this opportunity to use your Haotian Sect as a scapegoat."
……
News of the attack on the Spirit Hall has spread to various places.
While people were shocked, they were also watching closely. The Clear Sky Sect had clearly taken action against the Spirit Hall, and they wondered how the Spirit Hall would respond.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Spirit Hall remained unusually calm, as if nothing had happened.
Compared to the calm and peaceful situation of the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect was completely different.
The entire Haotian Sect was filled with trepidation and unease, fearing that they would anger the Spirit Hall.
When the old sect leader Tang Chen was still alive, they were fearless.
The key issue is that the old sect leader has been out of contact for many years.
Tang Tian, the current sect leader of the Haotian Sect and father of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, was even more terrified.
"This Haozi is acting so recklessly; he's putting the sect in danger!"
Tang Xiao quickly explained for him, "Dad, this can't be blamed on Hao-di. If the Spirit Hall hadn't kidnapped Ah Yin, Hao-di wouldn't have done this, right?"
Tang Tian glared fiercely at his good-for-nothing son. "How dare you say that? You can't even handle a 10-year-old transformed soul beast. What else can you do? The Haotian Twin Stars of my Haotian Sect have actually fallen into the hands of a mere brat. You have truly disgraced the Haotian Sect."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao lowered his head in shame.
Seeing this, Tang Tian did not continue to attack him.
What was the Spirit Hall's reaction?
Tang Xiao said, "The Spirit Hall has lodged a protest with us and demanded that we immediately cease our attacks on the Spirit Hall."
"Is it just a protest?" Tang Tian asked, puzzled.
Tang Xiao nodded.
After receiving confirmation, Tang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, then sneered with disdain, "That Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji is indeed a mediocre talent. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to swallow this insult."
Tang Xiao nodded in agreement, "If the Spirit Hall hadn't relied on bewitching people and gathering a bunch of rabble, how could it compare to our Clear Sky Sect?"
Tang Tian nodded in deep agreement, and then said, "Tell the Spirit Hall that this matter was Tang Hao's personal behavior and has nothing to do with our Clear Sky Sect. We have already expelled Tang Hao from the Clear Sky Sect."
Tang Xiao said worriedly, "Dad, how can we do this? Isn't this making Hao-di bear the pressure from the Spirit Hall alone?"
Tang Tian glared at him. "Do you want to drag the entire sect down with you? When your grandfather was alive, he was unscrupulous, and the Spirit Hall could only swallow their anger. But now that your grandfather is gone!"
If we truly anger the Spirit Hall and provoke a large-scale attack, it will surely be a disaster for our sect.
"Hao'er is all alone outside. With his strength, it would be extremely difficult for the Spirit Hall to capture him. But if we leave him in the sect, and the Spirit Hall comes knocking to demand him, then we'll be in a real dilemma."
Tang Xiao finally realized what was going on after hearing that.
That's right. With Hao Di's strength, he can't be captured unless a Title Douluo makes a move.
If you can't win, isn't it easy to run away?
Once Tang Xiao understood this crucial point, he immediately relaxed.
Hao Di won't let this go until he's vented his anger completely.
Since Hao Di has already been expelled from the sect, the Spirit Hall cannot blame the Clear Sky Sect in any way.
Therefore, the Spirit Hall is destined to suffer this loss in silence.
Tang Xiao was eager to try, and wanted to follow Hao Di's example and smash a few Spirit Hall branches.
However, his most important task right now is cultivation, to break through level 90 as soon as possible, and then find a suitable spirit ring to break through to the Title Douluo level.
Inside the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji was furious upon receiving the Clear Sky Sect's reply. "They smashed my Spirit Hall, and they think they can just get away with expulsion? There's no way it's that easy!"
The two generals, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, volunteered to capture Tang Hao.
Qian Xunji waved his hand and said, "No rush. Tang Hao is all alone. After the attack, he can just find a place to hide. We won't be able to find him at all."
In that case, we'll be led by the nose by him.
Upon hearing this, Kiku and Kiku felt that what His Holiness the Pope said made a lot of sense.
However, we can't just ignore Tang Hao's attack! Otherwise, wouldn't the Spirit Hall lose all its prestige?
Qian Xunji had already made plans for this. "Elder Gui, take some people to investigate this matter."
Remember, this was not done by Tang Hao alone, but was an organized and premeditated attack by the entire Clear Sky Sect against my Spirit Hall.
Did you understand?
Upon hearing these words and seeing the Pope's meaningful gaze, Ghost instantly understood.
What His Holiness the Pope needs is not the truth of the matter, but the "truth" he needs—a plausible reason to support the Spirit Hall's open and aboveboard actions against the Clear Sky Sect.
It seems that His Holiness the Pope has truly been provoked this time.
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope." Ghost immediately accepted the order.
During the time that Ghost Douluo fabricated evidence, Tang Hao still did not stop his revenge.
The various branches of the Spirit Hall were destroyed one after another, resulting in heavy casualties.
The Spirit Hall did not take any major action in response, only issuing a lukewarm protest to the Clear Sky Sect.
In the eyes of the Clear Sky Sect, the Spirit Hall's actions were an admission of weakness and a sign of incompetence.
Not only Tang Hao, but even the Haotian Sect began to become arrogant.
So much so that Tang Tian, who was initially uneasy and terrified, was able to directly and forcefully retort when faced with the Spirit Hall's protests again.
Tang Tian believed that the Spirit Hall was definitely intimidated by the prestige of his father, Tang Chen.
Tang Tian, Tang Chen's son, was also unaware of Tang Chen's condition and could not contact him either.
However, the Spirit Hall was unaware of these things.
Therefore, at this crucial moment, we must not show weakness, lest the Spirit Hall discover our secrets.
What Tang Tian didn't know was that Qian Xunji had already learned from his good son-in-law that Tang Chen was trapped and had no hope of escaping in this lifetime.
Otherwise, Qian Xunji would really have to think twice before taking action against the Haotian Sect.
The Haotian Sect's tough stance made the unsuspecting disciples arrogant and haughty as they walked down the street.
Disciple A of the Clear Sky Sect said with his nostrils flared, "Bah! The mere Spirit Hall dares to dream of making our Clear Sky Sect bow down? It's utterly laughable."
Disciple B of the Clear Sky Sect said, "Even though Ancestor Tang Chen is no longer here, our Clear Sky Sect is still the number one sect in the world. Those rabble from the Spirit Hall dare to try to compete with us? It's a joke."
Disciple C of the Clear Sky Sect chimed in, "That's right. Tang Chen has only been gone for a few decades, and the Spirit Hall already thinks that our Clear Sky Sect has declined and can't lift a hammer anymore? Hmph, if you ask me, Uncle Hao did a great job this time, and it's good to teach the Spirit Hall a lesson."
Disciple D of the Clear Sky Sect clenched his fist and said, "In the future, I will also teach the Spirit Hall a lesson, just like Uncle Hao, and step on them to make them the stepping stone for the Clear Sky Hammer to dominate the continent."
……
In the days that followed.
One after another, the branch halls of the Spirit Hall were reduced to ruins under the heavy blows of the Clear Sky Hammer, and the casualty figures of the Spirit Hall continued to rise.
The protests issued by the Spirit Hall were repeatedly and forcefully countered by the Clear Sky Sect.
The reason given was that Tang Hao was not a member of the Haotian Sect.
The two great empires and the three upper sects were all watching the Spirit Hall make a fool of itself.
Pope Qian Xunji's inaction caused everyone in the Spirit Hall to be extremely disappointed in him, and his prestige plummeted to rock bottom.
If this continues, it will inevitably lead to a situation where everyone's morale is low.
Even Qian Daoliu in the Hall of Worship couldn't sit still any longer. He went directly to Qian Xunji and asked him angrily, "The Haotian Sect has already ridden on our necks and pissed on us. What are you good for? You've done absolutely nothing. You've completely disgraced the Angel Clan."
Being scolded like a grandson, Qian Xunji could only swallow his anger, since the person in front of him was his own father.
At that moment, he told Qian Daoliu about his plan to take action against the Haotian Sect.
"What?" Qian Daoliu was shocked. "Are you out of your mind? Aren't you afraid that the Spirit Hall will be in big trouble after Tang Chen comes back?"
Qian Xunji chuckled: "Father, are you also afraid of Tang Chen?"
Qian Daoliu was furious: "What am I afraid of! Tang Chen and I are only evenly matched. I'm afraid you'll anger Tang Chen. What if he, like Tang Hao, destroys all of my Spirit Hall's branch halls outside? The Spirit Hall's foundation cannot be ruined in our hands!"
And all of you, if you run into Tang Chen outside, none of you will escape. (End of Chapter)
