Reincarnated as the Death Spider Queen, sacrificing Bibi Dong at the start

"You only care about your good brother who has caused such a terrible disaster, but you completely disregard the lives of these loyal clansmen who have always followed you!"

"In your eyes, is Tang Hao's life more important than the future of the entire Haotian Sect, or the lives of these thousands of people?"

"Or is this what you call being loyal and righteous?"

"Is this your so-called righteousness?"

"you--!!"

Tang Xiao was so angry that he trembled all over, but he was speechless by the series of questions.

"and……"

Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) turned her gaze to the elders of the Haotian Sect, her tone becoming somber:

"Elders, do you also think it's worth risking the entire Clear Sky Sect, and your own lives and those of your families, for the sake of Tang Hao?"

"Tang Hao is a genius, a titled Douluo. He ran away, he went into hiding."

"But what about you?"

"Can you run away? Can you run away with your property?"

"Are you really willing to pay the price for his mistakes, even if it means your families are destroyed?"

These words, like poisonous thorns, precisely pierced the most selfish and darkest corners of the elders' hearts.

Yes.

Why?

Why should they pay with their lives for Tang Hao's mistake?

Why should the entire sect be sacrificed just to protect that rebellious son?

Chapter 41 Nanfeng: I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter.

……

On the battlefield, the atmosphere within the Haotian Sect became extremely strange because of Bibi Dong's (Nan Feng) words.

Tang Xiao looked at the elders and disciples behind him, their expressions shifting, and his heart sank deeper and deeper.

He knew that Bibi Dong's psychological tactics had worked.

Although Tang Hao's talent is dazzling, he is still young and his foundation in the sect is not deep.

In addition, he spent many years training abroad, and apart from his die-hard Titans, most of his people did not have a deep affection for him.

Moreover, the trouble he caused this time was truly enormous.

For the sake of a woman, he killed the Pope, which provoked the Spirit Hall to launch a full-scale attack, and he also dragged his entire sect down with him.

Anyone with even a modicum of rationality would feel resentment.

"metropolitan……"

The Second Elder, who had always advocated avoiding war, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Tang Xiao's bloodshot eyes, he swallowed his words.

But everyone understood that as long as one person took the lead, the long-suppressed discontent would erupt instantly, overwhelming Tang Xiao, the sect leader.

However, at this crucial moment...

"Cough cough..."

An old cough broke the suffocating silence.

The elder, who had been keeping his eyes half-closed as if he might fall asleep at any moment, slowly walked to Tang Xiao's side.

He didn't look at Bibi Dong, but instead glanced around at the clansmen behind him, finally fixing his gaze on the restless elders.

"What? You're already wavering?"

The Grand Elder's voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear, carrying an air of authority honed by the passage of time: "Do you think that as long as we hand over Tang Hao, we can live a life of ignominy?"

"Elder, we..." The Second Elder's expression changed, and he wanted to explain.

"Shut up!"

The Grand Elder suddenly roared, a startling glint in his cloudy eyes, "Although I resent that rebellious son Tang Hao, and hate him for dragging the sect down with him! But—"

He turned abruptly to face Bibi Dong (Nan Feng):

"What has enabled my Haotian Sect to stand tall on the continent for thousands of years?!"

"It's the Clear Sky Hammer in my hand! It's my unyielding spirit! It's my indomitable will!!"

"If we betray our own people and abandon our own flesh and blood to avoid disaster today, how can the Clear Sky Sect ever stand in the world of Soul Masters again?!"

“What will the world think of us?! They'll point at our backs and curse us: ‘Look! This is the so-called number one sect in the world! This is a bunch of spineless cowards! A bunch of cowards who betray their friends for personal gain!’”

"Even if the Haotian Sect survives, it will be nothing more than a walking corpse! What face will it have to meet its ancestors?!"

These words were powerful and thought-provoking.

The elders and disciples who had been wavering now blushed and lowered their heads in shame.

Yes.

They are from the Haotian Sect! The number one sect in the world!

If they really have to sell out their loved ones to survive, what kind of men are they? Do they even deserve to wield the Clear Sky Hammer?

Tang Xiao looked at the old man beside him, his eyes filled with shock and emotion.

He never expected that at the most crucial moment, it would be this very elder, who usually disliked Tang Hao the most, who would stand up and uphold the last vestige of dignity for the Haotian Sect.

"and……"

The First Elder's gaze was sharp as he stared intently at Bibi Dong, and he saw through Nan Feng's scheme in a single sentence:

"Your Holiness, what you say sounds quite grand and dignified."

"But if you really just want revenge against Tang Hao, why go to such lengths? Why risk your reputation by taking women and children hostage?"

"Are you really talking nonsense with us here for the sake of so-called peace?"

"No!"

The elder sneered, "Are you stalling for time?"

"Although you brought two Title Douluos with you, their auras are weak, and they are obviously injured."

"As for you..."

"Although his strength is unfathomable, he cannot make a difference alone."

"I'm afraid the main force you brought is still lagging behind."

"You're sowing discord here just so you can wipe us out once your reinforcements arrive!"

"Am I right, Your Holiness the Pope!"

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

The members of Haotian Sect then realized what was happening and glared angrily at each other.

"What a treacherous and vicious woman!!"

"I almost fell for her trick!!"

"Fight her!!"

Seeing the situation reverse in an instant, Bibi Dong (Nan Feng), sitting on the papal throne, raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Little Dongdong, I never expected that there would be a sensible person hidden among this group of brutes?"

indeed.

The elder was absolutely right.

He's just stalling for time.

Although the Spirit Hall had a large number of Spirit Masters, their marching speed was uneven. He, Chrysanthemum Ghost, and the other flying Spirit Saints had arrived, but the remaining thousand or so Spirit Masters they led were still on their way.

If a fight breaks out now, Tang Xiao, leading seven peak Soul Douluo elders, plus the reckless brutes of the Power Clan, would likely cause his "rabble" to collapse if they really fought to the death.

That old bastard Demon Bear is definitely not putting in any real effort, and Chrysanthemum Demon is still recovering from serious injuries; whether he can hold on is questionable.

Even a fierce tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves, let alone the Haotian Sect.

The power of the Haotian Hammer is no joke.

"Who is this old man? He looks much older than those elders," Nan Feng wondered to himself.

“That’s the Grand Elder of the Haotian Sect, from the same era as Tang Chen. He’s an old man over a hundred years old, a generation older than the other elders,” Bibi Dong said.

"Oh? Then you do have some experience."

On the battlefield, Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) was not embarrassed by being exposed. Instead, she smiled and clapped, and the applause sounded particularly jarring in the tense standoff.

"The Grand Elder is indeed wise and experienced; I admire his insight."

"but……"

Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) shook her head helplessly, her face full of regret: "I had only good intentions, wanting to point out the right path for everyone, but I never expected to be misunderstood like this. It's really... I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter."

"Hmph! Stop pretending!"

Tang Xiao sneered, slightly raising the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, pointing it directly at Bibi Dong. "Bibi Dong, your true colors have been revealed. You want my Clear Sky Sect to bow down and submit? Dream on!"

"Our Haotian Sect's knees aren't that weak!"

"Ugh……"

Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) sighed and sat back on her throne, adopting an attitude of "Since you don't know what's good for you, there's nothing I can do."

"In that case, please proceed."

"Anyway, I won't make the first move."

Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) pointed to the trembling women and children of the Min clan on the ground, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of bloodlust:

"However, let me make this clear from the start."

"If you dare to make a move, try to snatch someone, or even throw a soul skill this way..."
