Chapter 18 Tang Hao literally angered his father to death
The sect leader of Haotian Sect was stunned for a moment, then his hands trembled violently, he could not hold the note, his face turned red, and a surge of anger rose to the sky.
The next moment, he roared angrily:
"That unfilial son! How dare he?! I warned him a thousand times to control his temper! And he still caused such a terrible disaster! The bastard! I'm so angry!..."
"Cough cough cough—"
The sect leader of Haotian Sect coughed violently, struggling to catch his breath.
"Pfft!"
He suddenly vomited a large amount of blood, passed out, and fell straight backward.
It slammed to the ground with a bang!
The note slipped from his hand, slowly drifting to the ground, stained with traces of blood.
boom--!
Outside the door, Tang Xiao, who had just been promoted to Title Douluo and whose title was "Xiaotian," rushed in after hearing the strange noise.
"Father!"
Tang Xiao shouted and rushed over to pick up his father and put him on the bed.
He shouted orders to the servants outside the door:
"Someone! Quickly go and fetch the clan's healing-type Soul Masters, and also the elders!"
Suddenly, Tang Xiao's gaze fell on the note on the ground.
He picked up the note and gently wiped away the bloodstains.
Then unfold it and read the information recorded above.
In an instant, Tang Xiao's pupils constricted sharply, his expression one of utter horror: "It's over! Something terrible is about to happen!"
It didn't take long.
Upon learning of the old sect leader's accident, the seven elders of the Haotian Sect rushed to the scene.
Also arriving were healing-type Soul Masters from the Clear Sky Sect.
After using his healing soul skill, the healing-type soul master shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do and that the old sect master had passed away.
Seeing this, everyone felt grief, and Tang Xiao even knelt down on the ground, crying loudly.
After the initial grief subsided, the Seventh Elder, Tang Lie, who had the worst temper, immediately inquired about what had happened to Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao stammered as he handed over the bloodstained note, looking very reluctant.
The information on the note was extremely detrimental to his beloved younger brother, Tang Hao.
Several elders took the note and passed it around, their blood pressure soaring, and they all started cursing.
Some people criticized the Spirit Hall for being too arrogant, framing others, and shameless. They said, "Come on, if you have the guts, come on! We're not afraid of anyone. At worst, we'll all perish together."
Some people cursed Tang Hao for being rebellious, lawless, causing his father's death, betraying his master and ancestors, bringing disaster upon himself, and putting the sect in danger for his own pleasure. They said they wanted to hold Tang Hao accountable and punish him.
Of the several elders of the Haotian Sect, apart from the First Elder who was somewhat calm and quiet, the rest were almost all muscular, rough men, and all sorts of unpleasant words kept pouring out of their mouths.
The room suddenly became noisy.
However, no one ultimately said anything about handing Tang Hao over.
After all, extreme favoritism is an old tradition of the Haotian Sect.
My people can hit you, but you can't hit my people; only I can hit them!
That's what their creed means.
Tang Xiao's expression was both interesting and unpleasant as he listened to the elders' offensive words.
"Elders!"
Tang Xiao shouted, stopping the argument and attracting the elders' attention, and said, "I think this matter needs further discussion."
"I know Hao Di's character. He would never do something like killing the Pope and elders of the Spirit Hall. This must be a conspiracy by the Spirit Hall to destroy my Clear Sky Sect."
"Besides, even if Brother Hao has made a mistake, it should be dealt with by the Clear Sky Sect. What does it have to do with the Spirit Hall? Brother Hao absolutely cannot be handed over. Otherwise, it will be a huge blow to the sect's prestige. How can the Clear Sky Sect maintain its standing in the spirit master world?"
"Now is not the time to assign blame. The most important thing is to think of a way to resist the Spirit Hall's attack."
In any case, handing over Hao Di is impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime.
Therefore, Tang Xiao's first thought was not how to quell the Spirit Hall's anger, but rather to actively urge the Clear Sky Sect to fight back, so as to ensure the safety of his younger brother Hao.
Therefore, Tang Xiao blocked the path of seeking peace as soon as he opened his mouth, guiding the elders to think about confronting the Spirit Hall.
"Hmph! What's there to think about? If the Spirit Hall dares to invade, we'll just fight them back!"
The hot-tempered Seventh Elder, Tang Lie, spoke first, displaying an air of arrogance and disregard for everyone.
The Second Elder was slightly more composed, but since he and the Seventh Elder were in cahoots, he also said:
"I agree with Seventh Brother's opinion. The Spirit Hall has bullied us to the point of absurdity. If we don't even dare to retaliate, won't our number one sect become a laughingstock? Fight! We must fight! The Clear Sky Sect will never surrender!"
The other elders were also infected by the two's burning fighting spirit and clamored to make the Spirit Hall pay a heavy price.
Finally, the composed Chief Elder stepped forward.
He paused, the hammer-shaped cane in his withered hand striking the floor with a loud clang, before speaking:
"My brothers, please be patient."
When the eldest elder, who held the highest position, stepped forward, the other six elders all shut their mouths and fell silent.
The elder sighed and continued:
"Let's leave Tang Hao's matter aside for now. As for the Spirit Hall, war is inevitable!"
"Issue a sect recall order, first summoning all sect members currently stationed elsewhere back to strengthen the sect's defenses. Increase manpower and patrols at the sect's headquarters!"
"Yes, Elder."
The six elders and Tang Xiao responded one after another.
The elder then continued:
"In addition, there is another matter. Now that the sect leader has passed away, the sect is facing internal and external troubles. We urgently need to select the strongest person to serve as the sect leader and lead the sect out of the current predicament."
"The selection of the sect leader will be conducted in accordance with the sect rules. Given that the Spirit Hall may attack at any time, there is no time to lose, so let's hold it tomorrow. Those who wish to participate should go back and prepare well."
Upon hearing this, all six elders showed joy, as if they had received a windfall.
They naturally had their own ideas about the position of sect leader, especially the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder.
Tang Xiao's expression turned rather unpleasant.
The position of sect leader was originally supposed to be passed on to his younger brother, Tang Hao, but the Grand Elder announced that a sect leader selection would be held, without mentioning Tang Hao at all.
Tang Xiao was secretly furious, but he couldn't say anything.
He knew it in his heart.
Now that Tang Hao has encountered this incident, he will probably be unable to inherit the position of sect leader.
The Haotian Sect is currently in dire straits and truly needs a strong leader.
Soon after discussing various matters concerning the Haotian Sect, the elders departed.
Only the Chief Elder and Tang Xiao remained in the room.
The Grand Elder walked to Tang Xiao's side, looked at Tang Xiao's gloomy face, sighed, and said earnestly:
"Tang Xiao, I know you're unhappy, but there's nothing we can do about it. And I believe you can understand."
"Among the many young people, I actually have the most faith in you. Even your younger brother Tang Hao can't compare to you."
"Aside from not being able to comprehend the Haotian's ultimate technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer, in other aspects, including talent and cultivation, you are no worse than Tang Hao."
"In my eyes, there is one thing you are better than Tang Hao in, and that is your temperament. You are much more composed and patient than Tang Hao. If Tang Hao had half your composure, he would not have caused such a disaster and brought calamity to the sect."
"Therefore, I have more faith in you."
Tang Xiao was so surprised by the Grand Elder's earnest words that his eyes widened in disbelief. He said in a trembling voice:
"Elder, you..."
