If you have evidence, please present it. If not, then please leave.
"And if you wish to fight, I will gladly oblige!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned cold.
Tang Chen gritted his teeth: "Qian Daoliu, you make it sound so easy! After all, it wasn't your grandson who died!"
Did you know that Hao'er is the most outstanding genius of the Haotian Sect in a hundred years, and the successor that I, Tang Chen, personally cultivated!
But he died so mysteriously in a place like the City of Slaughter! How can I accept this?!
Qian Daoliu looked at Tang Chen, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
He could certainly understand Tang Chen's feelings.
The pain of a parent outliving their child is the greatest sorrow in the world, let alone the death of Tang Hao, a young man of exceptional talent and the hope of the entire Haotian Sect.
But understanding is one thing, and stance is another.
"Tang Chen, we've both lived to this age, we should understand one thing."
The path of a Soul Master is fraught with thorns, and life and death are left to fate.
Since Tang Hao chose to enter the City of Slaughter for training, he should have been aware of the unpredictable dangers involved.
Tang Chen fell silent.
He knew that he wouldn't get any of the answers he wanted here today.
Qian Daoliu's attitude has already explained everything.
The Spirit Hall will never admit any connection to this matter. Regardless of whether Tang Hao was killed by Su Mo, the Spirit Hall will remain adamant and refuse to admit it.
Continuing to argue will only lead to more arguments and is pointless.
“Very well, Qian Daoliu.” Tang Chen’s voice was low and cold. “If this matter was indeed done by your Spirit Hall, I, Tang Chen, swear to the heavens that even if it costs me my old life, I will make your Spirit Hall pay for its blood debt.”
Qian Daoliu didn't reply, but just looked at him quietly.
The two stared at each other for a moment.
Finally, Tang Chen snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Qian Daoliu gazed in the direction Tang Chen had left, gently shook his head, and muttered to himself:
"Tang Chen, Tang Chen... Although I have always considered you a friend, we are ultimately on different sides."
Next time we meet, I'm afraid...
He sighed.
He knew that Tang Chen would not let this go.
But facing the Spirit Hall now, let alone the Clear Sky Sect, even if the three upper sects were combined, they would not be a match for it.
If they truly insist on being enemies with the Spirit Hall, there will only be one outcome.
Chapter 155 Formal Alliance
Two days later.
Haotian Sect, Council Hall.
In the center of the hall, there was an oval-shaped table.
Several figures were already seated around.
Everyone sat upright, and the atmosphere was solemn.
The hall was so quiet that only the sound of each other breathing could be heard.
At the head of the long table sat Tang Xiao, the current sect leader of the Haotian Sect.
To his right was Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He had a refined appearance and a polite smile on his lips.
Beside Ning Fengzhi stood the cold-faced Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
To Tang Xiao's left sat Prince Xue Xing of the Tian Dou royal family.
Since Emperor Xueye needed to stay in Tiandou City and could not easily leave the palace, he entrusted the important matter of this alliance entirely to him.
The seats further down were occupied by several elders of the Haotian Sect.
The elders exuded a deep aura, their backs were straight, and their eyes were bright and piercing.
Several days ago, Tang Xiao had informed them in detail about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. When they heard that the sect's patriarch, Tang Chen, was determined to form an alliance to jointly resist the increasingly powerful Spirit Hall, none of the elders objected.
Further away, four middle-aged men were sitting.
They were none other than Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan; Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Control Clan; Bai He, the patriarch of the Agility Clan; and Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Destruction Clan.
As the most loyal subordinate forces of the Haotian Sect, the four clans' leaders were also allowed to attend this meeting.
At this moment, Tang Xiao broke the silence. His gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing on Ning Fengzhi. He frowned slightly and asked:
"Sect Leader Ning, why are there no signs of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan this time? Could it be that they are unwilling to form an alliance with us?"
Upon hearing this, all eyes in the hall turned to Ning Fengzhi.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, as one of the three upper sects, possesses the number one beast martial soul in the world, making them incredibly powerful.
Joining the alliance would greatly enhance its overall strength.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly, and said with a hint of regret, "Sect Master Yu has declined the alliance on the grounds that the sect adheres to the principle of neutrality."
"Neutral?" Tang Xiao frowned even more. "When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. Does he really think that just by saying 'neutral,' he can keep the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family unscathed?"
Prince Xuexing immediately snorted coldly:
"To put it nicely, they are adhering to neutrality; to put it bluntly, they just want to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight."
They are unwilling to offend the Spirit Hall now and get burned, but they also don't want to completely sever ties with us, fearing that they will be left isolated and helpless when the Spirit Hall takes action against them in the future.
That's quite a clever plan!
Ning Fengzhi still wore a gentle smile: "We cannot force Sect Master Yu to make his decision."
But the course of events is always determined by the times. The Spirit Hall is currently biding its time, not yet fully revealing its fangs, so it's understandable that they harbor some wishful thinking.
He paused briefly, then continued:
"When the Spirit Hall launches its full-scale attack in the future, with its military might aimed directly at all the major powers and when it truly unsheathes its sword, we will not need to say anything more. Sect Master Yu will naturally see the situation clearly and make the most correct choice."
"Hmph." Prince Xuexing was still dissatisfied. "Now they want to stand by and do nothing. If the Spirit Hall attacks them in the future and they want to come and join the alliance when the situation becomes critical, I think we can just refuse them."
They must understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch; if they want to share in peace and stability, they must also share in the hardships.
Faced with Prince Xuexing's indignant words, Ning Fengzhi remained calm and composed, gently shaking his head:
"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan possesses the number one beast martial soul in the world, and their strength should not be underestimated."
If we can bring them into the alliance, it will be a powerful boost in our fight against the Spirit Hall, greatly increasing our chances of victory.
Conversely, if we shut them out in the future, and they happen to completely side with the Spirit Hall, it will be a huge hidden danger for us.
The fight against the Spirit Hall is a protracted and arduous battle, not something that can be accomplished overnight. We must not let momentary anger ruin the overall situation.
"Having one more ally means one less potential enemy; why not?"
Prince Xuexing paused slightly, his resentment gradually subsiding.
He was just a little dissatisfied, not that he was unaware of the bigger picture.
Indeed, the Spirit Hall's foundation is unfathomable. Surrounded by powerful enemies, every bit of its strength is precious, and any allies that can be won over must not be easily turned into hidden dangers.
With that in mind, he stopped arguing.
At this moment, Tang Xiao said in a deep voice, "Let's put the matter of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family aside for now."
If they are willing to form an alliance, we will naturally welcome it warmly; if they insist on remaining neutral, we will not force them and will let nature take its course.
There's no need to waste our energy on this right now.
He paused, then his expression suddenly turned serious:
"Gentlemen, the fact that you have gathered here today proves that you are determined to join forces against the Spirit Hall."
From this day forward, we are allies, sharing weal and woe. Without further ado, let us now formally discuss the core matters of our alliance.
In an instant, everyone present composed themselves, their expressions solemn, and they all looked at Tang Xiao in the main seat.
Tang Xiao surveyed the entire room and said, "First of all, forming an alliance requires someone to take charge and coordinate the forces of all parties to avoid a leaderless situation."
Therefore, we need someone to make the decision, and I will take on that role. Does anyone have any objections?
The hall was silent; no one showed any dissatisfaction, and no one uttered a word of rebuttal.
Needless to say, the people of Haotian Sect, with Tang Xiao as their sect leader, naturally obeyed everything.
Ning Fengzhi smiled gently and nodded slightly.
"Your sect is recognized as the number one sect in the world on the mainland. It is well-deserved for Sect Master Tang to serve as the leader and oversee the overall situation. I have no objection."
Prince Xuexing nodded in agreement without hesitation: "On behalf of the Tiandou royal family, I also have no objections."
Both of them knew the truth perfectly well.
At this moment, among the allies, only the Haotian Sect is qualified to hold the power of the alliance leader.
After all, the Clear Sky Sect has Tang Chen, a peerless Douluo, who is the strongest backing for the entire alliance.
Since the fall of Bone Douluo Gu Rong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has lost nearly half of its high-end combat power.
With only Sword Douluo Chen Xin remaining as a Title Douluo, the team was struggling to cope alone, and their overall strength declined significantly.
Although the Heavenly Dou Empire possesses a million-strong army, a vast territory, and abundant resources, and seems to be powerful, it is not without its own strength.
However, their strength in combat is a major weakness. They have no titled Douluo to rely on, and they are almost powerless against the top experts of the Spirit Hall.
Seeing that no one objected, Tang Xiao felt somewhat relieved and a satisfied look appeared on his face:
"Alright, thank you all for your trust. Since you have entrusted me with this important task, I will do my best to live up to your expectations."
His expression turned serious, and he said in a clear voice:
"I hereby declare that from this day forward, all of us must unite as one and help each other."
