Chapter 255 Promises I may not agree to.
The Spirit Hall's grand procession entered the Clear Sky Sect's territory. This location was not far from Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, situated three hundred miles east of Heaven Dou City, surrounded by mountains.
If by this time, they still haven't discovered that any enemies have entered the Haotian Sect, then those elders are truly idiots.
In an instant, five figures suddenly appeared at the entrance to Haotian Sect. Except for the man on the far left, who was a middle-aged man, the others were all elderly.
"Second Brother, who on earth is so audacious as to trespass on my Haotian Sect! I'll go and kill them!"
The hot-tempered, middle-aged Seventh Elder was ready to go down and kill those who had trespassed on the mountain gate.
"Seventh Brother, wait. The newcomers may not be friendly. There may be a lot of them. The sect leader is not here right now, and they have all come to establish their own sect. It may not be that simple."
The aged Second Elder was not in such a hurry. As Tang Zhen's brother, he naturally valued everything in the sect the most.
Back then, the old sect leader led the Clear Sky Sect to become the number one sect in the world with his unparalleled strength. Even the Spirit Hall had to temporarily give way to him. However, the old sect leader has been missing for many years in order to break through to level 100.
The Clear Sky Sect is also starting to lose out to the Spirit Hall, so in order to ensure the sect's continued prosperity, the Second Elder always thinks twice before acting.
Even though Tang San was the illegitimate son of the abandoned disciple Tang Hao and a soul beast, he possessed twin martial souls, and the Second Elder still accepted him, teaching him the Clear Sky Hammer Technique, instructing him on how to conduct himself, and allowing him to acknowledge his ancestors.
This is something he, as the second elder of the sect, must do. A person with twin martial souls has great potential, and Tang San is very likely to surpass the old sect leader and become the new leader who leads the sect to rise again.
As for Tang Xiao, his own nephew, he went to the Spirit Hall to rescue people, but lost his own arm and the Clear Sky Sect's inherited soul bone. He and Tang Hao were also killed.
The three inherited soul bones that Tang Chen had acquired years ago, all over 70,000 years old, have been lost. This is undoubtedly a huge loss and a loss of face for the Haotian Sect.
Originally, the other elders wanted to depose Tang Xiao as the sect leader, but the second elder still overruled the objections and allowed Tang Xiao to remain the sect leader. One reason was that Tang Xiao was young, and although his soul power had dropped to the Soul Douluo level, he was still very powerful.
Anyway, none of the other elders could match him, and Tang Xiao had been very good at handling sect affairs over the years, even surpassing his father, Zhen Tian Douluo.
The enormous losses inflicted on them by the Spirit Hall back then have gradually been recovered over the years, and they have become even more prosperous.
Now that someone has broken into the Dangshan Gate and entered the Haotian Sect, it is clear that they are up to no good. The Second Elder has some guesses but is not sure, so if the enemy does not move, we will not move!
On the other side, at the foot of Haotian Sect Mountain.
Xie Yue led the vanguard to this place, and the scene before them was quite awe-inspiring.
Directly in front of them was a mountain peak. The mountain itself was not high, but it was extremely steep. The entire mountain wall was almost perpendicular to the ground and extremely smooth. There was no vegetation at all; it was a rocky mountain.
The vanguard was slightly startled. The mountain in front of them was at least 500 meters high, and it was not something that a Soul Master below level 40 could climb.
However, as the vanguard, apart from Xie Yue being a Soul Emperor, the others were all Soul Saints, and even more so, Soul Saints of the Agility-Attack type. They were powerful and not afraid of such a dangerous place.
But the higher they went, the more frightened they became.
If someone launches an attack from the mountaintop, even a level 60 or 70 powerhouse might not be able to reach the top. It's definitely an insurmountable barrier.
Xie Yue discovered that this mountain range was quite peculiar; most of the peaks were extremely steep, and the mountains were connected by ravines. Climbing up and down would undoubtedly be extremely taxing. If defenses were to be set up on every peak, then one would have to traverse one formidable barrier after another. Even if the attackers outnumbered the defenders tenfold, they might not be able to break through. The terrain was simply too treacherous.
They hadn't gone far when they reached the edge of the mountain below. At an altitude of 500 meters, clouds and mist were already swirling around them. However, the mist wasn't severe at this time of year, and they could see an iron chain.
At the end of this mountain peak, a thick iron cable, as thick as an arm, stretches into the distance. It must be connecting to another mountain. The misty clouds cleverly conceal it, making it difficult to spot without careful observation.
Although the iron chains will sway in the air, as long as one has sufficient strength to stabilize their body, they can naturally cross them. Even a level 30 Soul Master can do this with ease.
The path that followed was a repetitive series of events, only the ravines between the mountains grew increasingly deep. As they reached the fourth peak via the iron chain, the chain itself began to change. Due to the cold and dampness, a layer of icicles had formed on the chain connecting the fourth and fifth peaks, making it extremely slippery and significantly increasing the difficulty of their progress.
Fortunately, their vanguard team consisted of elites handpicked by Ghost Leopard Douluo. Even Xie Yue, who had connections, was undeniably strong, so this distance wouldn't be a problem for them.
However, it is very difficult to get the army to come up, and the Clear Sky Hammer is a top-level weapon spirit with a wide range, which is too obvious.
One of the vanguard members has already gone back to inform the Pope and asked him to make a decision.
Xie Yue and the others continued forward, stopping at the fourth mountain peak, which was only a chain away from the summit. They needed to wait for the main army, as they had sensed an extremely powerful aura.
He's a Title Douluo!
At this moment, Ghost Leopard Douluo also appeared in the group. He also sensed the powerful aura ahead. According to the intelligence, the Clear Sky Sect has seven Title Douluos, and Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao has been killed by Elder Li Luochen.
Tang Xiao, the Howling Sky Douluo, had one arm crippled by Elder Li Luochen and was relegated to the Soul Douluo level for life. That leaves five Title Douluos.
However, Ghost Leopard Douluo was not afraid. Because of the Heavenly Dou Kingdom Usurpation Mission, he obtained a ten-thousand-year soul bone that suited him, and his soul power broke through to level ninety-six. Anyone in the world who wanted to capture him had to reach level ninety-eight, otherwise it would be impossible to capture him.
This is the confidence of a Super Douluo with an agility-based attack style!
"Come out, I've found you!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo looked in one direction and shouted coldly!
"Where did you come from, Title Douluo! You dare to storm the Clear Sky Sect's gates with just a few lackeys! Do you want to test the strength of my Clear Sky Sect?"
The Seventh Elder shouted, "It doesn't matter if our strengths match or not, we can't lose in terms of momentum!"
"Does the Spirit Hall need to defer to the Clear Sky Sect's wishes? Besides, we're here to cause trouble for your Clear Sky Sect!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo let out a cold shout, and his Martial Soul Void Ghost Leopard appeared, with two yellow, two purple, and five black rings. Nine soul rings appeared, and his level 96 soul power burst forth, pressing down on the Seventh Elder.
The Seventh Elder immediately felt immense pressure and broke out in a cold sweat, but he still couldn't lose his momentum!
"Your Spirit Hall, are you not keeping your promise from back then?!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo burst into laughter after hearing this.
"Hahahaha! A promise? I don't believe in any promises. The one who made that promise has already been defeated by His Holiness the Pope. My Spirit Hall now only has one person in charge, and that is His Holiness the Pope!"
Several elders of the Haotian Sect immediately turned liver-colored. The promise made back then was made after the battle between Haotian Douluo Tang Chen and Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu lost to Tang Chen and promised that no one from the Spirit Hall would set foot in the Clear Sky Sect until he, Qian Daoliu, could defeat Tang Chen.
That old scoundrel Qian Daoliu is truly useless; he's been completely sidelined by a mere young girl!
Several elders of the Haotian Sect were still stuck on information from several years ago. They only knew that Qian Xunji's female disciple had risen to power, but her strength was unknown, and they only knew that she was very young.
