Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 274 Decision

After recounting the story of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Tang Hao also told the story of how the Spirit Hall might have something that could quickly make people stronger.

Then, he looked at Tang Xiao.

"Brother, times have changed, and the Haotian Sect must keep up. Fortunately, I also possess the Bone Transformation Secret Technique. This may be our last chance."

After hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang Xiao's expression was somewhat uncertain.

He never imagined that so many things would happen in just over a decade since the Haotian Sect closed its gates, and that they would be completely unaware of them.

Tang Xiao glanced at Tang Yuehua, who was equally shocked, but said nothing. His sister's strength was too weak. She could manage regular intelligence, but it was normal that she couldn't obtain this kind of information.

"Can you verify the authenticity of this information?"

Tang Xiao looked at Tang Hao with a serious expression.

"Of course, this is something I saw with my own eyes and experienced firsthand."

As he spoke, an abnormal flush flashed across Tang Hao's face. His injuries had not yet healed. The other soul skill attached to Ah Yin's soul ring could only ensure that his injuries would not worsen, but it could not heal them.

Tang Xiao frowned and reached out to Tang Hao.

Tang Hao instinctively wanted to dodge, but when he realized that it was his older brother in front of him, he stopped and let Tang Xiao examine his injuries.

With just a slight touch, Tang Xiao's expression turned grim. Tang Hao's injuries were far too severe; he could hardly imagine that a human body could be damaged to such an extent.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Tang Xiao released his grip and asked a question.

"No, it's mainly because of the injuries from back then. They haven't fully healed. I even forced myself to break through to level 95. The fight recently just aggravated the injuries."

Faced with Tang Xiao, Tang Hao still answered his questions honestly.

"You need to get treatment as soon as possible."

Tang Xiao sighed. Tang Hao's talent was indeed much stronger than his. Even with such severe injuries, he was still able to break through to Super Douluo.

"No rush. With the Soul Ring skill, my injuries won't be affected for a short time, but the opportunity will be fleeting."

Tang Hao didn't want to talk about this with Tang Xiao; he hoped his older brother would agree to his attempt.

In his view, Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect are in a similar situation: they have strength, but they cannot show it and can only hide in the shadows.

This situation is extremely dangerous for both a genius and a powerful force, and could even lead to their downfall.

After losing Ah Yin, his son and his sect have become Tang Hao's greatest obsessions. He cannot afford to lose either of them, and he does not want to see them both decline.

So he was prepared to be that light of salvation, and now was the perfect time.

He, Tang Hao's son, and the Haotian Sect were born to stand at the top, so he took action.

Moreover, even if he ultimately fails, he can secretly expose what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has hidden to attract the attention of the Spirit Hall. With them taking the lead, the losses are manageable.

But if, as he thinks, the Clear Sky Sect returns to the forefront, then with the Bone-Changing Secret Technique and the resources to compete, Tang San will definitely receive better training and resources.

Even if Tang Hao still couldn't openly appear in public at that time, it would be enough to wash away the previous humiliation and return to the sect. In the future, when Xiao San also grows up, he might be able to avenge himself.

"How do you plan to have the mistress test you? Also, isn't exposing her a bit too dangerous?"

Tang Xiao looked at Tang Hao with some hesitation.

Upon hearing his words, Tang Hao was overjoyed. The fact that his elder brother could ask such a question meant that he was already interested, and his goal had been achieved.

"No, the risk isn't as high as you think, brother. I plan to let Xiao San reveal his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, in the later matches."

At this moment, Tang Hao's eyes shone with light.

"All we need to do is reveal the Clear Sky Hammer. As for the fact that he is my son, there is no need to make it public. Let's test the Spirit Hall's reaction first."

"If they don't make any major moves, I would appreciate it if you could show up before the finals to express your desire to watch the match."

"There's definitely no problem with the Star Luo Empire. As for the Heaven Dou Empire, Xiao San is still the captain of the Royal Dou Second Team. Unless they explicitly express their refusal, we'll pretend we don't know anything."

"Once things get started, the Haotian Sect can then rightfully reappear on the continent."

Tang Hao spoke from his prepared remarks, while a restless glint appeared in Tang Xiao's eyes.

It must be said that Tang Hao's proposal was quite attractive to Tang Xiao.

Within the Haotian Sect, there was already a strong desire among the young people to leave the clan territory again. He was only able to suppress it with his strength, but this was not a solution.

The method Tang Hao suggested wouldn't put too much pressure on the Haotian Sect.

Even if he fails, it will only be that he, as the sect leader, loses some face, which he doesn't care about.

Or rather, there's nothing they can do about it; the Haotian Sect has already lost enough face, so they don't care about this little bit.

As for Tang Hao and Tang San, aside from his older brother, in the eyes of most people in the Clear Sky Sect, they were traitors and culprits. Even if they died, some people might still applaud them.

However, if the test is successful, the Haotian Sect can leave the mountains, re-enter everyone's sight, and return to the ranks of the top powers on the continent. This temptation is immense.

With Tang San's talent as a foundation, the Bone-Changing Secret Technique as a catalyst, and the allure of rebirth, Tang Xiao could imagine that even the old fogies within the sect who hated Tang Hao to the bone wouldn't refuse such a condition.

If successful, the matter of Tang Hao and his son's successful return would also be resolved, and Tang Xiao couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

"Brother Hao, it's commendable that you came up with this idea. The sect members will most likely not refuse it."

Tang Xiao did not agree directly, but he did give his assessment.

"Is that so? That's good."

Tang Hao stopped urging him at this moment. He knew his older brother's personality; for him to say such a thing was already an answer.

"Let's wait a bit. I need to go back and discuss the specifics with the elders. The secret technique..."

Tang Xiao paused for a moment.

"The secret technique is here; you can take it back, brother."

Tang Hao took over his words, took out a booklet from his body and handed it over: "Regardless of whether you agree today or not, I am prepared to hand over the secret technique to the sect. This is my way of making amends to the sect."

Tang Xiao took it, but did not put it away. Instead, he looked at Tang Hao seriously and said, "This is the only method. Regardless of whether things succeed or fail, you will be the glory of the sect."

Tang Hao's eyes felt a little uncomfortable. He tried to open them wider, raised the wine glass in front of him, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp, concealing the sudden surge of emotions.

Then, he heard Tang Xiao's voice again.

"If things don't work out, take your mistress to the place where we first met, and I'll personally come to pick you up and take you home."

Tang Hao paused, realizing that Tang Xiao was referring to the place where the two brothers first met Ah Yin. He nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Tang Yuehua smiled when she saw that the two had reached an agreement. That's great.

She stood up and poured wine for her two brothers, and the three siblings reunited after a long time.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, as she was about to take the two to the room that had been arranged for them, she saw Tang Xiao stand up.

"Brother Hao, take me to see that Xiao Wu. It's a very important matter, and I must confirm it myself."

As his soul power circulated, the smell of alcohol dissipated, and his eyes regained their clarity.

Across from him, Tang Hao did the same thing, nodded, and the two of them greeted Tang Yuehua before quietly leaving Yuexuan.

At the window, Tang Yuehua watched the two figures disappear into the distance, then looked up at the bright moon in the sky, her eyes unconsciously narrowing into crescents.

-

The Chamber of Commerce mansion, inside the main building.

Han Li witnessed the entire conversation between the three siblings and then exited the mental space with a strange expression.

Tang Xiao's unexpected appearance in Tiandou City was something he hadn't anticipated.

What's even more audacious is that both of the things Tang Hao and Tang Xiao mentioned were related to him. So, could it be considered that he, like a butterfly flapping its wings, fanned the Haotian Sect out of the depths of the mountains ahead of schedule?

Moreover, and most importantly, from the brothers' perspective, you have to admit, the timing of the Haotian Sect's emergence seems quite good.

With Qian Renxue poised to seize power, Qian Daoliu is unlikely to make any major moves for the time being. Within the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong is holding them back, so the matter is highly likely to fizzle out.

On the Star Luo Empire's side, they were even more eager for the Haotian Sect to regain its place on the stage, as this would greatly alleviate their pressure.

As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, to be honest, their opinions are not important. The Heaven Dou Empire is even more adept at playing both sides; apart from Star Luo, they are willing to maintain friendly relations with any force.

Han Li, of course, didn't mind either.

He had originally prepared a plan to expose the Haotian Sect through Tang Hao and his son, but now that they have come forward on their own, it has saved him the trouble of worrying.

Yes, it's warm and comforting.

Han Li pondered for a moment, then sat down at the table, picked up his pen, and decided to inform Qian Daoliu about this matter. In fact, he mainly wanted to use Qian Daoliu to appease the irritable elders of the Hall of Worship.

A few minutes later, he put the letter into the envelope with satisfaction, and told Salas to send it back via the fast track the next day.

In this way, by the time of the finals, almost all the forces on the continent would have to gather in Wuhun City, Han Li thought to himself.

That will be the time for him to truly reveal something; I hope everything goes smoothly.

Han Li sat at the table and looked up at the sky. The gaze from the divine realm had not appeared for a long time.
