Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

The location where the Spirit Hall is now should belong to the Clear Sky Sect.

This situation of waiting for the best bidder will surely allow the Spirit Hall to reap huge profits, as long as they don't lose their minds.

The Haotian Sect has fallen into its current passive situation, and the five elders have complained a lot about Tang Xiao because of it. But despite their complaints, he has no choice but to face reality.

Currently, the Star Luo royal family is "fighting for them." If they don't send some of their disciples to fight alongside the Star Luo army, they risk becoming bargaining chips at the negotiating table.

Yu Xiaogang retorted, "Sect Leader Tang, starting a war on the border at this time is already disadvantageous to us. If the disciples of Haotian Sect join the battlefield, wouldn't we be completely bogged down in the quagmire of war?"

"Our top priority should be to help the Star Luo Empire end the war as soon as possible, rather than fanning the flames of war."

"Xiao San and his group need time to improve their strength. If we continue the war now, it will be in vain even if Xiao San becomes the strongest person on the continent once the overall situation is settled."

War is inevitable, and their goals are to annex the Heavenly Dou and destroy the Spirit Hall.

However, the timing of the war is crucial. Tang San is currently only a Soul Emperor, and Dai Mubai has not yet taken power in the Star Luo Empire.

Therefore, the outcome of this war was something they could not foresee or control.

The Seventh Elder of the Haotian Sect scoffed at Yu Xiaogang's suggestion!
As a mere Great Soul Master, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't even have the right to enter the meeting room, let alone make sarcastic remarks, if it weren't for Tang San and Liu Erlong.

"We have only been in seclusion for about twenty years, yet the continent has already forgotten the dominance of my Haotian Sect. Sect Master, in my opinion, we old folks might as well go to the battlefield together."

"In this way, we can both demonstrate the strength of our Haotian Sect and force the Tiandou Empire to submit."

Tang Xiao frowned.

If things were really that simple, the border war wouldn't have broken out.

Tang Xiao was unaware that the Heaven Dou royal family had been possessed by the Spirit Hall, and he only felt that Xue Qinghe's actions were utterly absurd.

Even if the Haotian Sect did participate in the assassination of Emperor Xueye, Xue Qinghe was the beneficiary of the entire plan.

Even if an arrest warrant is issued for the Haotian Sect afterward, is there any need to keep pressing them?
As a beneficiary of the existing system, Xue Qinghe's actions, apart from demonstrating his filial piety, have no real significance.

Tang Xiao remained silent for a long time. Seeing that Yu Xiaogang and the Seventh Elder were about to start arguing, he couldn't help but interrupt, saying, "Our Haotian Sect cannot remain indifferent. At the very least, we must show our attitude to the Star Luo Royal Family."

"If the Star Luo royal family demands our military intervention afterward, the Second Elder can lead a group of disciples to the front lines. Of course, what the master said also makes sense. Our mission is not to escalate tensions, but rather to try our best to mediate the war."

Given the current situation of the Haotian Sect, it is clearly unrealistic to continue to remain in hiding.

The key is how to maintain the cooperative relationship between the Haotian Sect and the Star Luo Royal Family, rather than becoming a complete vassal.

Tang Xiao truly deserves to be called an excellent leader. Even in this adversity, he remained calm and composed, and his emotions were not swayed by the situation.

……

Wu Qi and his two companions, who were undergoing assessment, had no time to pay attention to how the situation on the mainland might change.

Of course, even if Wu Qi wanted to change something, with his current strength, he was not yet capable of having a voice on the continent.

Several months passed quietly.

The border conflict was somewhat eased thanks to the deliberate arrangements of Ning Fengzhi and Tang Xiao.

Despite the fact that both empires claimed to have millions of troops, anyone with even a basic understanding of military affairs knows that this was an exaggeration.

The 300,000 troops that each side has stockpiled on the border already constitute a large portion of their respective army numbers.

If there were truly a million-strong army, the mainland's current production capacity simply couldn't support it. This enormous number would certainly include the laborers involved in logistical support.

These laborers, who were conscripted for corvée labor, were required to provide their own food.

In the previous skirmishes, both sides have suffered nearly 50,000 casualties, and continuing the fight will inevitably damage national strength.

If both sides were to lose 300,000 men each, their respective domestic situations would likely become unstable, and uprisings would spring up like mushrooms after rain.

With the Haotian Sect issuing a public apology and clarification statement, the situation has temporarily eased.

Although the two sides remained in a standoff, no shots were fired.

In the short term, Bibi Dong has no better way to start another war unless the Spirit Hall intervenes directly.

However, the current situation is clearly in their favor. The Spirit Hall is not Bibi Dong's sole authority. Even if Qian Daoliu gives her more power, the Spirit Hall elders with their own opinions will not let her do whatever she wants.

Inside the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

With the deadline for the assessment fast approaching, Wu Qi and his two companions began their final sprint.

Because Wu Qi needed to go deeper than Qian Gu Chang Kong and the other two, he could record the hydrological conditions below while he was diving and give them to the other two as a reference.

As for Wu Qi himself, he had no one to refer to when he went deep into the spring, so he could only explore on his own.

In the spring water, Wu Qi's soul power barrier was barely able to withstand the extreme cold and heat around him.

Because the spring water below was too dark, he didn't know how much longer it would take to get to the bottom.

But the bloodline within him told him that the dragon's might below was growing stronger, and even the remnant souls of the two dragon kings had noticed his arrival. It seemed that he only needed to dive a few meters to see the dragon bones, yet it also seemed that there were still hundreds of meters to go.

Holding his breath and clearing his mind, Wu Qi continued to descend.

A few days later, Chen Ping, who was located above Wuqi, was the first to complete the assessment.

When the latter went deeper into a certain place, an invisible force pulled him out of the spring, and at the same time, a message came to his mind that the test was completed.

Qian Gu Chang Kong sensed the movement behind him and immediately understood.

He needed to dive to a depth only thirty meters deeper than Chen Ping, and victory seemed to be within reach.

Full of ambition and radiating an aura of power, he accelerated his descent.

Unable to judge the distance, he didn't know how far thirty meters was.

As time went by, his ambition gradually faded, and his descent slowed due to the increasing pressure.

On the shore, Chen Ping couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, a dive of thirty meters into the vast sky should have been completed within an hour.

But through the gap at the top of the canyon, he could see that the sky outside remained unchanged from noon until evening.

Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.

Could it be that the eternal sky could not withstand the pressure of the spring water and fell into it?
But that's not realistic. Although Chen Ping is a defensive-type Soul Master, after Qian Gu Chang Kong awakened his Dragon Soul, his physique was no worse than his, and even stronger.

Just as he was lost in thought, bubbles began to rise from the spring, as if something were about to emerge from them. (End of Chapter)
