"If I don't bring back any news that Qian Xunji is satisfied with when I return this time, wouldn't I be the only one coming back next time?"
"It'll be the Martial Spirit Hall's army," Tang Hao said.
"So what?"
"Our Clear Sky Sect is no longer the Clear Sky Sect from more than ten years ago. If the Martial Spirit Hall still wants to bully us, our Clear Sky Sect will make them pay a heavy price!" The Second Elder was not afraid of the Martial Spirit Hall at all.
More than ten years ago.
Ever since Tang Chen disappeared.
Only Tang Xiao was left in the Clear Sky Sect. Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo, was bullied by the Martial Spirit Hall. The Clear Sky Sect could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.
However …
It was different now.
Although the Clear Sky Sect no longer had Tang Chen, Tang Xiao, and Tang Hao's father, they still had Tang Xiao and the other elders.
A total of six Titled Douluo. They were not afraid of the Martial Spirit Hall at all.
Wasn't it just a battle?
Who was afraid of who?
It was right to fight.
They were not afraid at all.
...
Tang Hao said, "Forgive me for being blunt. The Clear Sky Sect has indeed become stronger now, but we are still no match for the Martial Spirit Hall. The Clear Sky Sect is far inferior to the Martial Spirit Hall.
"If the Clear Sky Sect and the Martial Spirit Hall clash, it will undoubtedly be like an egg hitting a rock. They are courting death!"
Seeing that the Second Elder might be unconvinced, Tang Hao continued, "Second Elder, don't be unconvinced. No one in the Clear Sky Sect can stop a Thousand Dao Flow."
"This …"
The Second Elder was about to refute when he heard that, but he was stunned at this moment. Refute?
How could he refute that?
There was no way to refute at all.
The Martial Spirit Hall had a Thousand Dao Flow.
It was almost invincible on the Douluo Continent.
If Tang Chen was still around?
They would not be afraid of the Martial Spirit Hall at all.
However, Tang Chen had been missing for many years, and the Clear Sky Sect had no news of him.
A Peerless Douluo was equivalent to a superpower!
It could even be said that it surpassed a superpower.
The reason why the Clear Sky Sect went into hiding was because of the Thousand Dao Flow!
The rank 99 Wind Peerless Douluo was above all Douluo. He was the peak of the Douluo Continent!
...
"Therefore, elders, your best choice is to surrender to the Martial Spirit Hall.
For now … I surrender to the Martial Spirit Palace! "
"Or … we should pretend to surrender to the Martial Spirit Palace. After all, the Martial Spirit Palace is so strong now. Isn't it good to pretend to surrender to them and secretly develop?"
"Brother Hao, is this the reason why you surrendered and joined the Martial Spirit Palace?" Tang Xiao asked after hearing this.
Tang Hao was helpless. "Big Brother, you know me. I have no choice. For the sake of Ayin and Lil 'Three, I can only choose to join the Martial Spirit Hall."
"Although I joined your Martial Spirit Palace, my heart still belongs to the Clear Sky Sect."
"Good brother!"
"I knew you wouldn't betray the Clear Sky Sect."
Tang Xiao patted Tang Hao's shoulder when he heard that. He knew that his brother would not betray the Clear Sky Sect.
It turned out that.
This was all a scheme!
Pretending to surrender to the Martial Spirit Palace was indeed his best choice.
"Alright, I agree with Brother Hao. Our Heavenly Sect is willing to surrender to the Martial Spirit Palace!"
"Sect Master …"
When the Second Elder and the other Elders heard Hun Xiu's words, they instantly panicked. It was decided just like that?
Are you sure you don't want to discuss this with the elders?
Does he not care about the elders at all?
The Second Elder and the other Elders wanted to say something, but they were quickly interrupted by Tang Xiao. "Second Elder, I know what you're worried about."
"Joining the Martial Spirit Palace is indeed a temporary measure."
"The Martial Spirit Palace has the Thousand Stream Sect. Our Heavenly Sect is no match for them at all. Pretend to surrender to protect ourselves!"
"Let's wait for the right time to give the Martial Spirit Palace a fatal blow. Isn't that good?"
"Or do you have a better idea?"
"This …"
When the Second Elder and the others heard this, they fell silent. They indeed did not have a better idea. It seemed that this was indeed the best solution at the moment.
...
Three days later.
The Martial Spirit Palace.
In the study room.
Hun Xiu received the message from Tang Hao. Hun Xiu smiled and muttered, "Tang Hao is indeed Tang Hao. He settled the matter for me so quickly."
"As expected of the person I've chosen."
Hun Xiu looked at the black-robed figure half-kneeling on the ground. "Tell Tang Hao to bring Tang Xiao and the five elders of the Heavenly Sect back to the Martial Spirit Palace."
"Yes!"
The black-robed figure replied. His entire body turned into an afterimage and disappeared from the study room.
At this time, Ayin, who was at the side, said, "See, I told you that Brother Hao won't let you down."
Hun Xiu looked at Ayin. "It's too early to make a conclusion now. The truth will be revealed when Tang Hao returns."
"You have to be prepared for the moon to disappear."
Ayin said, "Don't worry, I won't lose. Brother Hao won't let me down."
Hun Xiu smiled and did not say anything!
The Martial Spirit Palace.
As a transcendent force in the world of soul masters, the strength of its intelligence agency was simply unimaginable.
The Heavenly Sect.
It was no longer the Heavenly Sect that Tang Chen used to be in. The people of the Martial Spirit Palace could easily infiltrate the Heavenly Sect.
As for Tang Hao …
Sure enough, he didn't do as he had imagined, and he was very disappointed!
He was very pleased with Tang Hao.
As expected of him.
...
Inside the Heavenly Sect.
Hun Xiu's news also reached the Heavenly Sect's ears.
In the main hall.
Tang Xiao and the others looked at Tang Hao. "Brother Hao, what do we do now?"
"Qian Xunji wants all the Titled Douluo of the Heavenly Sect to go to the Martial Spirit Palace!"
"Do you think this could be a conspiracy?"
"Once we go, we won't be able to return?"
Tang Xiao chose to believe Tang Hao. After all, he was his younger brother. Tang Xiao knew what kind of person he was.
He believed in Tang Hao.
However, this did not mean that he would choose to believe in the Martial Spirit Palace.
Once all the Titled Douluo of the Heavenly Sect went to the Martial Spirit Palace, the Martial Spirit Palace would be like a turtle in a jar. The Heavenly Sect would be finished.
Without a Titled Douluo, could the Heavenly Sect still be considered one of the three upper sects?
Tang Hao was silent when he heard this.
He wasn't sure what Hun Xiu and the others were up to.
Could this be a test?
If he went, nothing would happen. But if he didn't go, what would happen?
The Martial Spirit Palace would send an army to attack them?
Tang Hao hesitated for a while. "Big Brother, I suggest that we go!"
"Since we have already surrendered to the Martial Spirit Palace, we naturally have to show them our sincerity."
"No!"
"I don't agree!" Before Tang Xiao could say anything, the Second Elder objected.
"Sect Leader, you have to think twice!"
"Qian Xunji wants all of us to go to the Martial Spirit Palace. If Qian Xunji is prepared, we won't be able to return!"
"Yes!"
"Sect Leader, please think twice!
We can't go. "
The other elders also chimed in at this moment.
It was not that they did not want to go.
It was that they could not completely trust the Martial Spirit Palace!
Once the Martial Spirit Palace was prepared for it, everything would be over!
Death was not scary!
However, it had to be worth it!
If they died for no reason, it would be aggrieved.
Tang Xiao also hesitated.
After all …
The Second Elder and the others were not unreasonable.
What if this was a conspiracy?
What if they dug a hole for the Heavenly Sect?
One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be wary of others.
Tang Xiao had an idea in his heart. He looked at Tang Hao. "Little Brother Hao, I can go to the Martial Spirit Palace with you, but the elders can't go."
"The elders have a point!"
"Be careful!"
"Alright!"
Tang Hao was silent for a moment, but he still nodded and agreed.
After all …
He also suspected that the Martial Spirit Palace might have a conspiracy or a trap!
"Since you think so, Big Brother, then let's not delay!"
"Let's go to Martial Spirit City immediately!"
"Alright!"
Tang Xiao nodded slightly and looked at the Second Elder and the other elders. "Second Elder, Elders, I'll have to trouble you when I'm not in the Heavenly Sect."
"OK!"
...
Martial Spirit City!
Located at the border of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, this place did not belong to any empire. It only belonged to the Martial Spirit Palace.
When Tang Xiao and Tang Hao entered Wuhou City, everything was as usual. There was no abnormality at all.
In order to welcome Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.
Hun Xiu even specially asked Bibi Dong for a day to use the full power of the Pope's Palace, and Bibi Dong had no right to refuse.
He could not beat Hun Xiu, so how could he refuse?
Her refusal.
Hun Xiu would not listen at all.
Might as well.
He directly gave the Pope's Palace to Hun Xiu for a day.
After all …
It was easy for Hun Xiu to become the Pope of the Martial Spirit Palace, but he did not do that. This meant that Hun Xiu was not interested in becoming the Pope of the Martial Spirit Palace.
...
In the Pope's Palace.
Hun Xiu sat on the high seat at the end. Beside Hun Xiu stood Ayin in a blue dress. However, Ayin had transformed into "Xiao Cao".
"Greetings, Your Holiness!"
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao came to the main hall and stopped at a suitable position. They cupped their hands slightly to Hun Xiu!
Hun Xiu said, "I haven't been the Pope for many years. It's not appropriate for you to call me Pope!"
"You should call me Your Holiness!"
"Yes!"
"Your Holiness!"
"Your Holiness, Tang Hao has successfully taken down the Clear Sky Sect. Now, the entire Clear Sky Sect has completely surrendered to the Martial Spirit Palace." Tang Hao stood up and reported his achievements!
"Is that so?"
Seriously.
Hun Xiu did not believe Tang Hao at all. "The Clear Sky Sect did not surrender to the Martial Spirit Palace based on your words."
Hun Xiu's gaze fell on Tang Xiao. "Sect Master Tang Xiao, is the Clear Sky Sect really willing to surrender to the Martial Spirit Palace?"
"Of course!"
"Your Holiness, the Clear Sky Sect is willing to surrender to the Martial Spirit Palace." Tang Xiao stood up and said respectfully.
He lowered his head.
He did not dare to look at Hun Xiu.
This was something that he had discussed with Tang Hao beforehand.
He would not change his mind at the last minute.
"Tang Xiao, you are the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect. You represent the Clear Sky Sect!"
"Let me ask you again. Is the Clear Sky Sect really willing to surrender to the Martial Spirit Palace and submit to the Martial Spirit Palace?"
Tang Xiao said, "I swear in the name of the Clear Sky Sect's Sect Master that the Clear Sky Sect will surrender to the Martial Spirit Palace. We are willing to submit to the Clear Sky Sect!"
"Oh!"
Hun Xiu was not surprised when he heard that. He nodded and said, "Alright, I choose to believe that the Clear Sky Sect is willing to surrender to the Martial Spirit Palace for now!"
"Tang Xiao, since the Clear Sky Sect is willing to surrender to the Martial Spirit Palace, why are you here alone?
"If I'm not mistaken?"
"I want the five elders from the Clear Sky Sect who have become Titled Douluo to come along, right?"
"Why are you the only one here?"
"Are you afraid that I'll set up an ambush and make it impossible for you to return?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Tang Xiao said.
"The five Titled Douluo elders have not been involved in worldly affairs for many years. They are in closed-door cultivation, so they did not follow me!
"Wait for the five Titled Douluo elders to come out of closed-door cultivation?
I'll bring them to the Martial Spirit Palace to beg for forgiveness. "
Tang Xiao was neither servile nor overbearing as he spoke. They had already discussed a strategy!
He was not afraid of Hun Xiu's questions at all.
"Alright!"
"I understand."
"I believe that the Clear Sky Sect is willing to join the Martial Spirit Palace.
"However, if I find out that you are fooling me, I'll be very angry. The consequences will be unimaginable."
"I wouldn't dare!"
Tang Xiao lowered his head and was a little surprised. Hun Xiu chose to believe them. Was that really a good thing?
It was like a dream.
It was a little unbelievable.
Wasn't this Hun Xiu a little too easy to fool?
...
Since Hun Xiu believed them …
Then Tang Hao's mission was completed.
Tang Hao stood up and said, "Your Highness, I've done what you asked. Shouldn't you return Ayin to me?"
"There's no hurry!"
Hun Xiu said calmly.
Ayin was Tang Hao's lifeline. How could he not be anxious?
He was about to die from anxiety.
So it was not his wife who was in the hands of the enemy. He was not anxious at all!
Tang Hao had already discussed with Tang Xiao.
They would pretend to surrender to the Martial Spirit Palace and then rescue Ayin.
As for Tang San?
Sorry.
Tang San was just an accident.
Tang Hao loved Auntie the most!
Hun Xiu said, "Before I hand Ayin over to you, Tang Hao, I'm going to give you my beloved maid. What do you think?"
His so-called beloved maid was naturally Ayin, who was disguised as "Xiao Cao".
Tang Hao glanced at Ayin, who was standing next to Hun Xiu, and refused, "There's no need. I only want my Ayin!"
"I'm not interested in other women!"
It was undeniable that Qian Xunji's maid had a good figure, but her face was ugly. She could not compare to his Ayin at all.
Tang Hao was not blind. He could not be as hardcore as Hun Xiu. He only loved beautiful women. If it was someone prettier, he might accept it.
That was it?
A face full of pockmarks?
He was not interested!
After all …
He did not like to turn off the lights.
It was as if anyone liked to turn off the lights.
...
"Alright."
"Tang Hao, I didn't misjudge you. You didn't disappoint me!"
Hun Xiu looked at Tang Hao with satisfaction. Then, he changed the topic, "But I can't return Ayin to you."
"Qian Xunji, what do you mean by that?"
Tang Hao, who was full of anticipation, was instantly furious when he heard Hun Xiu's words.
He felt that he had been played by Hun Xiu.
Hadn't he already completed the mission?
Why didn't he return Ayin to him?
"Tang Hao, I should be the one asking you that. What do you mean by that?"
"You and your brother, Tang Xiao, put on a show in front of me, and you want to trick Ayin from my hands?
"Are you rubbing my IQ against the ground?"
"Or do you think that your acting is flawless?"
A terrifying, boundless pressure spread out from Hun Xiu's body and pressed toward Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.
"Your clumsy acting is too clumsy. You can't fool me at all."
