"I guarantee that before your hammer even hits the ground, your uncle's head will roll to your feet first!"
"And these children, these women..."
"They will all be reduced to pieces because of your bravery!"
"Come on!!"
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) suddenly took a step forward, bursting forth with a fierce shout:
"Let me see just how tough the so-called Sect Master of the Haotian Sect really is!!"
"Let me see, do you value your pride or the lives of your loved ones?!"
This angry shout resounded like thunder on the battlefield.
All eyes were on Tang Xiao.
The members of the Power Clan, in particular, felt an indescribable sense of shared sorrow as they looked at the women and children of the Min Clan with knives held to their necks.
If the sect leader doesn't care about the life or death of the Min clan today, then tomorrow... will he also ignore them?
Tang Xiao gripped the Haotian Hammer tightly, the veins on the back of his hand like winding earthworms, showing the extreme struggle and torment in his heart.
To fight or not to fight?
If we fight, my uncle and those clansmen will surely die, and the Haotian Sect will be branded as cold-blooded and ruthless, losing all popular support.
If we don't fight, are we just going to let ourselves be slaughtered?
"metropolitan……"
Titan clutched his chest, his eyes filled with grief and indignation, yet also with a hint of pleading.
Not only him, but also the elders and disciples of the Haotian Sect behind him, as well as the members of the Power Clan, all had their eyes on Tang Xiao.
They are not afraid of death, but being threatened with their loved ones and having to watch them die tragically in front of them is too humiliating.
"What exactly... do you want?"
Tang Xiao took a deep breath, his voice hoarse.
"Oh."
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) chuckled softly and slowly descended from the sky.
With a wave of his hand, the incomparably luxurious gilded papal throne appeared out of thin air and landed steadily in front of the two armies.
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down on the chair, crossed her legs, and rested her chin on her right hand. Her posture was more like admiring flowers in her own backyard than a battle between two armies.
"Actually, I don't want to start a war either."
Bibi Dong's (Nan Feng's) voice rang out softly, carrying a sorrowful and compassionate sigh:
"War always results in death."
"Regardless of victory or defeat, countless families will be torn apart. Parents will outlive their children, wives will lose their husbands, and children will lose their fathers."
"The people of the Clear Sky Sect will die, the people of the four major clans will die, and the sons of my Spirit Hall will also die."
"Death ends all suffering, but what about the living? How are orphans and widows supposed to survive in this chaotic world?"
"There are no winners in war, only losers."
These words instantly transformed the atmosphere of the entire battlefield into something eerie.
The elders of the Haotian Sect looked at each other, completely bewildered.
This...this is the ruthless Bibi Dong who just tried to wipe out an entire clan?
Why did you suddenly start being so compassionate and talking about peace and love?
What exactly does this woman want to do?
"ridiculous!"
Tang Xiao finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped forward and glared at Bibi Dong, "Bibi Dong, stop pretending to be kind with your crocodile tears!"
"From beginning to end, wasn't it your Spirit Hall that was stirring up trouble?!"
"It was Qian Xunji who led the attack to kill my brother! And it was you who started the war to destroy my affiliated clan!"
"You're talking to me about peace now? About not wanting people to die? Don't you find that ridiculous?!"
"It's truly laughable."
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) nodded, surprisingly agreeing, "I also find it quite laughable."
"But what can Sect Leader Tang do?"
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) shrugged, her tone revealing a sense of helplessness:
"Regardless of the cause, the result is that Qian Xunji died, killed by Tang Hao's hammer."
"As the holy land of all soul masters on the continent, the murder of the Pope is a disgrace that the Spirit Hall must wash away. If we let this go, how can the Spirit Hall command thousands of soul masters? How can it stand between the two great empires?"
"We had no choice."
"The Spirit Hall must swallow this insult. The Spirit Hall must regain this face."
"so……"
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) paused, her gaze becoming profound:
"Sect Leader Tang, since everyone is facing difficulties, and since no one wants to suffer mutual destruction."
"Then why can't we solve this problem in a different way?"
"What method?" Tang Xiao frowned.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor."
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) leaned forward slightly, her heterochromatic eyes fixed intently on Tang Xiao:
"From beginning to end, this matter is less a conflict between the two major forces of the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, and more a personal feud between the former Pope Qian Xunji and his rebellious son Tang Hao."
"It was Qian Xunji's greed that led him to try and take Tang Hao's wife, and it was Tang Hao's resistance that resulted in him killing Qian Xunji."
"If it's a matter between the two of them, why involve the entire Haotian Sect? Why make so many innocent people die with them?"
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) pointed to the Spirit Hall Soul Masters behind her who were standing ready for battle, and then to the group of Clear Sky Sect disciples opposite her who were filled with righteous indignation but dared not make a move:
“Look at these people, each of them has a family behind them, with parents, wives and children waiting for them to go back.”
"Just because of the sins committed by Tang Hao, are so many people going to their deaths? Are countless families going to be plunged into grief?"
Is this fair?
The audience was silent.
Whether it was the Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall, the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, or even the muscle-bound brutes of the Power Clan, they all fell silent at this moment.
Yes.
Is it fair?
This is Tang Hao's fault. Why make them risk their lives?
Seeing the fleeting hesitation on everyone's faces, Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) chuckled inwardly and continued to raise the stakes:
"Therefore, I propose that we try a different approach."
"A way to solve all problems without having to fight to the death."
Tang Xiao frowned, and although his hand holding the Haotian Hammer was still tense, the killing intent in his eyes had indeed subsided considerably.
"How do you plan to resolve this?" Tang Xiao asked in a deep voice.
"It's very simple."
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) smiled slightly, "The Clear Sky Sect is assisting the Spirit Hall in apprehending the murderer Tang Hao!"
"As long as you hand over Tang Hao, or cooperate with us to kill him, so as to appease the spirit of the late emperor in heaven."
"So……"
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) surveyed the entire audience, her voice becoming incredibly seductive:
"The Spirit Hall has avenged itself and regained its face."
"Although your Haotian Sect lost Tang Hao, you preserved the foundation of the sect, the four major clans, and the lives of tens of thousands of people."
"No one has to fight to the death; everyone can go home and enjoy their wives, children, and warm beds."
"Isn't this the best possible ending?"
These words immediately caused a stir within the Haotian Sect.
Especially the elders who were already dissatisfied with Tang Hao's troubles, their eyes lit up instantly.
This...this sounds like a pretty good suggestion!
Handing over Tang Hao would ensure the safety of the entire sect, protect the Min clan, and even avert a major war that could severely damage the sect.
This is a great deal!
"impossible!!"
However, before the elders could speak, Tang Xiao roared and resolutely refused.
"Bibi Dong! Don't even think about it!"
Tang Xiao roared, raising his Clear Sky Hammer once more, "You want me to betray my own brother? Dream on!!"
"Tang Hao may have made mistakes, but he is a member of my Haotian Sect! Even if I, Tang Xiao, die, I would never do such a despicable thing as betraying a friend for personal gain and selling out my closest relatives!!"
"Really?"
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) was not angry. Instead, she smiled jokingly and said, "Sect Leader Tang is indeed a loyal and righteous man."
"but……"
Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) pointed to the Min clan women and children on the ground, with knives held to their necks:
"Your own brother is family, but your own uncle isn't family?"
"Aren't these elders who watched you grow up, these children who call you cousin and sect leader, your family?"
"To protect a sinner who has caused a colossal disaster and plunged the entire sect into dire straits, are you really going to personally send these innocent relatives to their deaths?"
