Tang Xiao stared wide-eyed at the most respected elder of the Haotian Sect in disbelief.

"Tolerate?!"

"My uncles are all going to be killed! You expect me to just stand by and do nothing?!"

"If you can't bear it, then the entire sect will be buried with you!" The Grand Elder suddenly opened his eyes and shouted sternly, "Tang Xiao! Do you want to become a sinner of the Haotian Sect?!"

The hall was deathly silent.

Tang Xiao slumped into a chair, clutching his head with both hands, and let out a low growl of extreme pain.

He knew the Grand Elder was right.

But he was unwilling to accept it!

I'm so unwilling to accept this!

Just then, another disciple rushed in in a panic.

"Report—!!!"

"Sect Master! Elders! Something terrible has happened!"

"The Power Clan, the Defense Clan, the Destruction Clan... have also been attacked by the Spirit Hall!!"

"what?!"

The entire audience was stunned!

All the elders stood up abruptly, their faces filled with horror.

Attacking four tribes simultaneously?!

The Spirit Hall is... really determined to wipe them out!

"and……"

The disciple swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "According to the news that came back, the one besieging the Min clan... is the new Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, who is personally leading the team!"

"She announced that she wanted to... wanted to..."

"What do you want? Speak!!" Tang Xiao roared.

"She said... she's waiting in the Min clan, waiting for the Haotian Sect to come and rescue people."

"If you don't dare to go..."

The disciple lowered his head, his voice barely audible:

"Then prepare coffins and collect the bodies of the four major clans."

"..."

"This is outrageous!!"

Tang Xiao was completely enraged.

"First it was Brother Hao, then the four major clans. Does the Spirit Hall think my Clear Sky Sect has no one left to rely on?!"

As he spoke, Tang Xiao suddenly stood up and headed to the sect square to gather manpower.

"Wait!"

Just as Tang Xiao was about to step out of the hall, the Second Elder's gloomy voice rang out again, carrying an unquestionable calmness, forcefully stopping the enraged Tang Xiao.

"What are you trying to say now?!" Tang Xiao turned around abruptly, his eyes bloodshot, like an enraged lion. "Second Uncle, I've already backed down once. If you dare to stop me from saving Uncle again, don't blame me for disregarding seniority!"

"Sect Master, you're being foolish!"

The Second Elder pointed at the few Min Clan scouts on the ground and analyzed sternly: "It is reasonable that the news of the Min Clan being attacked came back quickly, after all, their martial spirit is flight, and their speed is unparalleled. These scouts were also deliberately released by the Spirit Hall."

"But what about the other three races?"

The Second Elder turned abruptly, pointing at the disciple who had last rushed in, his tone chilling:

"The Power Clan, the Defense Clan, and the Destruction Clan are scattered in different parts of the Heaven Dou Empire, far away from the Haotian Sect. Not to mention that they don't have the extreme speed of the Swift-tailed Swift, even if they broke through and sent a message immediately, how could the news have reached the mountain only a moment after the Agility Clan?!"

Upon hearing this, the elders, who had been in complete chaos, instantly fell silent, and Tang Xiao's bloodshot eyes narrowed slightly.

Yes.

too fast.

The news came at such a perfect time, it was as if... someone deliberately timed it perfectly, shoving all four "battle reports" into their hands at once, forcing them to react immediately.

"This is clearly false information deliberately spread by Bibi Dong! It's meant to confuse us!"

Seeing that everyone was wavering, the Second Elder immediately pressed his advantage: "She wants to make us confused and panicked! She wants us to feel that the four major affiliated clans are in trouble at the same time, forcing us to either divide our forces to rescue them or launch a full-scale attack and plunge into her trap!"

"I dare say! Apart from the Min clan, which is indeed under attack from the main force, the news about the other three clans is most likely false, or exaggerated!"

"It's even possible that there was no attack at all, and it was just a smokescreen released by the Spirit Hall!"

"There's only one objective—to lure the snake out of its hole!"

"The Haotian Sect occupies a natural stronghold, easy to defend and difficult to attack; that is our greatest advantage. If we abandon this natural stronghold and launch a full-scale attack to rescue the Min clan, which is already heavily besieged, based on a few pieces of information that may or may not be true..."

The Second Elder took a deep breath, his tone extremely heavy:

"That's like walking right into a trap! It's exactly what Bibi Dong wanted!"

Tang Xiao's clenched fists trembled slightly, his knuckles cracking. Reason told him that the Second Elder's analysis was extremely reasonable; this was very likely a deadly trap targeting the main force of the Haotian Sect.

but……

"So what if it's a trap?!"

Tang Xiao suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot rather than clear, revealing the pride and responsibility of a sect leader. "The Min clan's demise is an undeniable fact! My uncle is still in their hands! Those clansmen are still waiting for me to save their lives!"

"Second Uncle, your analysis is very logical, but let me ask you, what if... I mean, what if the other three races also really suffer a calamity? What if the Spirit Hall really goes mad and tries to exterminate all the forces that are affiliated with us?!"

"Can we afford to gamble?!"

"I can't gamble with my uncle's life! Nor can I gamble with the last shred of integrity of the Haotian Sect!"

Tang Xiao suddenly flicked his sleeve, and the phantom of the Haotian Hammer flashed behind him. The overwhelming aura made all the elders present feel a jolt in their hearts.

My mind is made up!

"No matter what, I must go down the mountain! I'm determined to save the Min clan! Even if it's a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire ahead, I'll brave it!"

"If you elders are afraid of death or falling into a trap, I will not force you!"

"I, Tang Xiao, will go and save them myself, hammer and all!"

Chapter 37 Predicting Their Predictions

……

"stop!!"

The second elder was so angry that his beard trembled and he stomped his foot hard.

Looking at Tang Xiao's resolute back, he knew that his nephew's temper was just like Tang Hao's stubborn mule; once he made up his mind, not even nine oxen could pull him back.

If Tang Xiao were to go alone and were to perish at the hands of Bibi Dong, the Clear Sky Sect would be without its sect leader and its only titled Douluo. Even with its natural defenses, it would be close to destruction.

"Come back! Who said we're not going to save them?!"

The Second Elder shouted, stopping Tang Xiao, who had already reached the door.

Tang Xiao paused, turned around, and looked at his second uncle, who had been trying to stop him, with a complicated expression.

"Second uncle..."

"Sigh..." The Second Elder sighed deeply, "Why are you so impatient, child?"

He glanced around at the elders, whose expressions varied, and finally gritted his teeth, making a compromise:

“Since the Min clan is already surrounded, and that is the main force personally led by Bibi Dong, if we rush over directly, facing two Title Douluos, an unfathomable new Pope, and thousands of Soul Masters, even if we can save them, we ourselves will be badly injured.”

"That's so stupid."

The second elder walked to the map and pointed heavily at three other locations:

"If we're going to rescue them, we need to be strategic."

"Since the Min clan is the bait and the main force, it means that the forces besieging the other three clans must be weak! Or even just bluffing!"

"We will not go to the Min clan!"

Tang Xiao was taken aback: "Not going to the Min Clan? Then where to go?"

"Go save the Power Clan! The Defense Clan! The Destruction Clan!"

A glint of shrewdness flashed in the Second Elder's eyes, and his tone became firm and ruthless:

"We'll do the opposite!"

"Isn't Bibi Dong trying to lure us into a trap using the Min clan? Then let's not touch that tough nut for now! Let's sweep away the three clans' encirclement with lightning speed!"

"As long as we are fast enough, we can save these three races first, gather their strength, and add our Haotian Sect's elite troops."

"At that time, we will have enough leverage and manpower!"

"At that time, we will gather the momentum of our great victory, unite our forces, and relieve the siege of the Min clan!"

"This is the safest and most effective way to preserve our strength!"

At this point, the Second Elder looked at Tang Xiao, his tone carrying a hint of admonition:

"Sect Master, this is also a gamble."

"Betting on Bibi Dong's arrogance, she concentrated her main forces on the Min clan while neglecting the other three clans!"

"As long as we can take out her split forces first, the situation will be reversed!"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao fell into deep thought.

It must be said that the Second Elder's plan, although somewhat roundabout, was much more rational than simply running headlong into Bibi Dong's arms.

If we can first save the Destroyer Clan, known for their offensive power, and the Guardian Clan, known for their formidable defensive capabilities, it will indeed be a great help in the subsequent battles.

Moreover, this also gave the elders a way out—it wasn't that they wouldn't help, but that they would help the easier ones first, avoiding the strong and attacking the weak.
