Chapter 213 The War of the Haotian Sect (Part Two)
The emergence of the Clear Sky Sect shocked the world. All soul master forces seemed to be affected, and even the Spirit Hall's recruitment of outside soul masters slowed down considerably.
Inside the secret chamber of Tianxing Academy, after a period of communication, everyone's hearts were finally at ease. However, each of them planned to go into seclusion to cultivate and absorb the newly acquired soul bones as soon as possible.
Yang Podi is now somewhat regretful. He should have chosen a high-age left arm soul bone for his father to absorb first, which would have at least improved his strength. As for the right leg and torso soul bones that his father lacked, he did not obtain any high-age soul bones this time.
However, the situation with the Haotian Sect was clearly strange. Yang Podi was not afraid at all if only the Haotian Sect came to his door. Even if the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School came together, Yang Podi did not care much. The two schools together only had seven Title Douluos. They couldn't possibly disregard their own development and send seven Title Douluos to fight to the death at Tianxing Academy.
What truly worries Yang Podi is the Spirit Hall, or more precisely, Qian Daoliu. If Qian Daoliu were to bring a large number of spirit masters to their door, that would be truly dangerous.
Just as Yang Podi had guessed, a fierce battle did indeed take place at the Haotian Sect.
More than a year ago, after Tang San absorbed the spirit ring, his spirit power reached level 61. After much deliberation, Tang Hao finally decided to let Tang Yuehua take Tang San back to the Clear Sky Sect so that Tang San could be recognized as a member of the clan.
Instead of returning to the Clear Sky Sect, he settled down near the sect's ancestral land, seemingly ready to wait for Tang San at any time.
After much deliberation, Tang San taught the Mysterious Heaven Skill to Tang Hao. Since the Mysterious Heaven Skill had already spread throughout the world, there was no need to hide it. Moreover, practicing the Mysterious Heaven Skill could have a significant effect on Tang Hao's injuries.
During this time, Tang Hao also practiced the Xuan Tian Gong diligently, and his injuries gradually stabilized, with his body even showing signs of improvement.
This Soul Hunting Operation by the Spirit Hall is much larger than in the original story. In addition to three thousand Soul Masters, six Elders were also dispatched. Apart from the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, all the other Elders were mobilized, while the Grand Elder remained at the Spirit Hall to guard it.
The six elders possessed extremely high soul power levels. Golden Crocodile Douluo reached level 98, Lion Douluo and Azure Phoenix Douluo reached level 97, and Light Feather Douluo, Thousand Pound Douluo, and Demon Subduing Douluo were all at the peak of level 96. They were more than capable of dealing with the six titled Douluos of the Clear Sky Sect.
After several secret investigations by the Spirit Hall, it was found that the highest spirit power in the Clear Sky Sect was Tang Xiao, who had reached level 96. In addition, there were five elders, most of whom were around level 92. Only the Second Elder had reached level 94, but the Second Elder was very old and might not be able to unleash his full strength.
With the Spirit Hall deploying six Title Douluos and three thousand Soul Masters, victory is practically assured.
Unexpectedly, when the group rushed to Haotian Sect, they were discovered by Tang Hao outside the sect.
After discovering this news, Tang Hao returned to the Clear Sky Sect ahead of the main group of Soul Masters at a speed far exceeding that of the main force. However, Tang Hao was very close to the ancestral land of the Clear Sky Sect, with a time difference of less than ten minutes.
When Tang Hao returned to the Haotian Sect, Tang Xiao and the five elders were very surprised, especially the seventh elder, Tang Lie, who was furious when he saw Tang Hao and wanted to drive him away.
Fortunately, Tang Xiao valued brotherhood and stopped Tang Lie's attack in time, deciding that any decisions should be made only after Tang Hao had finished speaking.
Tang Hao quickly spoke up: "The Spirit Hall has a large number of spirit masters rapidly approaching the Clear Sky Sect. They are probably up to no good. Moreover, at their speed, they will arrive at the Clear Sky Sect in ten minutes at most. There are six Title Douluo among them."
Tang Lie's expression was extremely gloomy: "They're just six Title Douluos. With our current strength, we're not afraid of them at all."
Tang Hao seemed very anxious: "Besides Qianjun and Jiangmo, there are four Title Douluo who have come this time, and their strength is probably no weaker than mine."
Although the elders hated Tang Hao, none of them doubted Tang Hao's loyalty to the Clear Sky Sect, nor did any of them question what Tang Hao said.
The group all looked at Tang Xiao, seemingly waiting for him to decide whether to fight or retreat.
Tang Xiao thought for a moment and immediately said, "The Spirit Hall is going too far. We are now trapped in the ancestral land and have no way out. We can only fight to the death."
With Tang Xiao's order, everyone in the Clear Sky Sect began to prepare for battle, even cutting the iron chains directly, hoping to use the treacherous terrain of the high mountains to block the Spirit Hall.
When the six Golden Crocodile Douluo arrived at the ancestral land of the Clear Sky Sect, they were immediately surprised. They hadn't expected that the Clear Sky Sect would actually cut the iron chains, making it even more difficult to reach the Clear Sky Sect.
However, the six were highly skilled and daring, and immediately split into two groups. The six titled Douluo flew over first, while the other flying Soul Masters prepared iron chains and ropes to build a passage as quickly as possible. They even carried various tools with them, clearly having made preparations in advance.
After the six flew over the cliff, they faced six Title Douluos, including Tang Xiao and five elders. Tang Hao hid in the shadows, as he was wanted by the Spirit Hall.
Tang Xiao spoke with a somewhat serious tone: "What brings the six of you to my Haotian Sect? My Haotian Sect has long since retreated into seclusion."
Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke with a disdainful expression: "Your Clear Sky Sect is just pretending to live in seclusion. Tang Hao has attacked my Spirit Hall many times, and your three upper sects have long been secretly colluding to overthrow my Spirit Hall."
Tang Xiao was a little confused: "Are you mistaken? My Haotian Sect has always been in seclusion and has not gone out."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression turned somewhat ugly: "Your Clear Sky Sect secretly distributed secret manuals and provided a large number of weapons to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Furthermore, the three upper sects have long since joined forces to overthrow my Spirit Hall."
Tang Xiao was even more puzzled: "Senior, what you're saying is all just talk. What evidence do you have?"
"Tang San behind you is the proof. He is Yu Xiaogang's disciple. We received the news long ago that the formation of the Heaven Dou Team was a joint effort by the three upper sects to overthrow my Spirit Hall."
The Second Elder spoke up, "This is nothing but a fabricated charge. We've never even left our ancestral land, how could we possibly be colluding with the other two major sects?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo coldly asked, "Since you've never left your ancestral land, where did you get those extra Title Douluo spirit rings? And where did you get your food and various cultivation resources?"
Faced with these words, the Haotian Sect members were speechless for a moment; these things were indeed difficult to explain.
With a command from Golden Crocodile Douluo, the six launched an attack. In terms of pure strength, the six elders were far superior to the six titled Douluos of the Clear Sky Sect.
Behind the six, three thousand soul masters, guided by countless flying soul masters, had ropes appearing on the cliff, forming a net-like structure that allowed soul masters to walk across. Other soul masters then began to quickly cross the cliff.
The battle between the twelve Title Douluos was earth-shattering. Tang Xiao directly organized everyone to activate the Haotian Formation, and he fought against three Title Douluos by himself. However, the Golden Crocodile Douluo, along with the Thousand Pound Douluo and the Demon Subduing Douluo, were almost completely overwhelmed by the five elders. In just a few rounds, the five elders of the Haotian Sect were already in grave danger.
At this critical moment, Tang Hao made a move from the shadows, directly activating his weapon spirit true form and wielding the massive Clear Sky Hammer to attack Golden Crocodile Douluo, seemingly intending to severely injure the enemy's strongest member, Golden Crocodile Douluo.
But Golden Crocodile Douluo was completely unafraid. He quickly activated his Martial Soul True Form, transforming into a giant golden crocodile king to confront Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.
The massive Haotian Hammer and the Golden Crocodile King collided, creating a scene resembling a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting apart; their sheer force overwhelmed countless people.
However, Tang Hao's attack did not gain him the upper hand; instead, he was forced back by Golden Crocodile Douluo, as the two were three levels apart in soul power.
After forcing Tang Hao to retreat, Golden Crocodile Douluo coldly said, "What a fine Clear Sky Sect, what a fine Tang Hao. Wasn't Tang Hao expelled from the Clear Sky Sect? How come he's still in the sect? It's clear that your Clear Sky Sect is two-faced."
The battle continued, and even with Tang Hao's intervention, the battle remained at a disadvantage.
In particular, the rapid influx of three thousand Soul Masters into the battlefield gave them a significant numerical advantage.
The Clear Sky Sect has fewer than a thousand Soul Masters, and has been living in seclusion for many years, which has greatly reduced the training of its young disciples, at least in terms of practical experience.
To the Spirit Hall's surprise, Tang Xiao actually broke through to level 97, and his strength was much greater than they had imagined.
However, Tang Xiao was not in a position of ease and comfort like he was on the battlefield of Jialing Pass. On the contrary, the Spirit Hall had a large number of spirit masters and a huge advantage in numbers.
Especially with countless people attacking the Haotian Formation, or rather, the ordinary soul masters who set up the Haotian Formation, Tang Xiao would be in a more difficult position. At the very least, he wouldn't be able to fight against three Title Douluos with all his might, especially since both Lion Douluo and Azure Phoenix Douluo are level 97 Title Douluos.
As time went by, the Clear Sky Sect was increasingly at a disadvantage. After all, the difference in numbers was too great. Moreover, the Soul Masters in the Clear Sky Sect were relatively homogeneous, mostly Soul Masters with the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. There were no agility-type Soul Masters or support-type Soul Masters, which greatly limited their capabilities.
However, Tang San performed quite well. He is now level 65, and especially after his Blue Silver Grass martial soul has been cultivating the poison attribute for a long time, his attacks are more unpredictable and his toxicity is greater.
However, given the current situation, if the fighting continues, the Haotian Sect will likely be defeated sooner or later, and may even be completely wiped out.
Even though Tang Hao used all his skills, there was still a significant gap in strength between him and the Golden Crocodile Douluo, and he was repeatedly defeated.
Tang Hao was also very anxious when he saw this situation. Tang Xiao, the disciples of the Haotian Sect, and even the five elders were all in great danger.
At this moment, Tang Hao gritted his teeth, and five spirit rings instantly exploded on his body. The Clear Sky Hammer, like a small mountain, covered the Golden Crocodile Douluo, as if it wanted to flatten him.
Golden Crocodile Douluo, not to be outdone, directly used his ninth soul skill: Golden Giant Force Break. A giant golden crocodile king pounced on the Clear Sky Hammer. As expected of a 100,000-year soul skill, its power was extremely strong.
However, in this powerful collision, Tang Hao still had the upper hand, after all, this was the exploding ring of the Clear Sky Hammer, which was also a desperate skill of the Clear Sky Hammer.
Meanwhile, the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder, their eyes flashing, seized the moment when the giant Clear Sky Hammer fell. The Fourth Elder quickly flew towards Tang Xiao and used all his soul power to self-destruct, instantly creating a huge energy explosion that blasted Lion Douluo, Azure Phoenix Douluo, and Light Feather Douluo away. Tang Xiao also took this opportunity to use the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes to attack the three of them, directly hammering them far away.
While the other three Title Douluos were enduring the massive attacks of Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo with their dragon-coiled staffs, the Fifth Elder also self-destructed, causing considerable damage to Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo.
With two Title Douluos from the Clear Sky Sect self-destructing in succession, coupled with Tang Hao's desperate ring-exploding hammer strike, the situation seemed to have reversed instantly. Especially after the two self-destructed, the damage to the surrounding Soul Masters was even greater, after all, these were Title Douluos self-destructing.
In the end, Golden Crocodile Douluo had no choice but to order a retreat. After all, the self-destruction of the two Title Douluos had caused considerable damage to the six elders, and they couldn't stop Tang Hao's exploding rings today.
However, although the Haotian Sect repelled the attack of the six elders, the cost was extremely high. Two of the five elders self-destructed, and it was precisely because of their self-destruction that the five people in the Hall of Offerings were injured.
As soon as the Spirit Hall's spirit masters retreated, Tang Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed straight down, immediately losing consciousness. It should be noted that Tang Hao had destroyed five spirit rings at once in order to deal with Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Tang Hao's current body simply cannot withstand this level of explosive rings, even after he has recovered somewhat from cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique over the past few years.
As Tang Hao collapsed, Tang Xiao and Tang San rushed to help him up, but Tang Hao seemed to be seriously injured.
The other three elders also seemed to be seriously injured, after all, they had been enduring the attacks of Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo the whole time.
The Seventh Elder, Tang Lie, watched Tang Hao's unusually expressive face, sometimes showing hatred and sometimes admiration. In the end, he simply shook his head and left alone.
The three elders continued to discuss something with Tang Xiao, as if they were about to make some big move.
Ultimately, Tang Xiao made the decision himself, and the Haotian Sect officially emerged from seclusion. At the same time, the sect's new headquarters will be located near Tiandou City.
