For disciples of sects who place great importance on bloodline and honor, this is a punishment worse than death.
What's more, that's his own younger brother, the most dazzling genius in the Haotian Sect in a hundred years!
"I do not……"
"metropolitan!"
The Seventh Elder interrupted him sharply, his eyes red as he roared, "Do you want the entire sect to be buried with that rebellious son?! Do you want our ancestors to never rest in peace in the afterlife?!"
"If you refuse to give the order, then let us old bones give it for you!"
Looking at the oppressive, even hateful, gazes of the elders around him.
Tang Xiao's pride was eventually shattered bit by bit by the cruelty of reality.
"it is good……"
Tang Xiao slumped in his seat, his voice hollow:
"Pass on the order..."
"From this day forward, Tang Hao... is no longer a disciple of the Haotian Sect."
“Remove from the family genealogy and reclaim the title of Haotian.”
"Announce to the world..."
After saying these words, Tang Xiao closed his eyes, seemingly unwilling to look at this suffocating world any longer.
"There's one more thing."
The Second Elder did not stop because of Tang Xiao's compromise; his expression remained solemn.
"Second Brother, is there anything else?" the Fourth Elder couldn't help but ask. "We've already sealed off the mountain and expelled Tang Hao, isn't that enough?"
"not enough."
The Second Elder shook his head and said something startling: "We must prepare for the worst. We must immediately activate the backup sect territory located near Tiandou City."
"what?!"
These words shocked everyone present.
Even Tang Xiao, who had been on the verge of collapse, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Second Elder in disbelief: "Second Uncle, what do you mean? The backup clan land? That's the last resort that can only be used when the sect faces annihilation!"
"Do you want us to abandon Haotian Peak? To abandon this ancestral heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years?!"
"This is a natural fortress! As long as we seal off the mountain and sever the iron chains, how could the Spirit Hall possibly break through?!"
"A natural fortress?"
The Second Elder gave a bitter laugh, a deep fear flashing in his eyes:
“If it were before, I would also have believed that Haotian Peak was an impregnable fortress.”
"but……"
"Have you forgotten Bibi Dong's realm filled with gray mist?"
Upon hearing this, all the elders turned deathly pale.
"That domain... can corrode soul power, devour life, and even corrode space itself!" the Second Elder said, his voice trembling. "Our natural defenses are designed for the military and ordinary soul masters. But what are cliffs and precipices compared to that near-divine power? What are iron chains across the river?"
"If Bibi Dong brings that domain to Haotian Peak, even if she's the only one who rushes up, all she needs to do is release those gray mists..."
"Our Haotian Sect has several thousand members. Those above the Soul Saint level can barely hold on, but those below the Soul Saint level..."
"They'll probably all be silently devoured by that gray fog!"
Chapter 47 Ghost Leopard: Didn't we agree to slack off together?!
……
The hall was deathly silent.
Everyone was horrified by the scene described by the Second Elder.
Yes, that area is terrifying; it's a plague that no human can withstand!
"Since the Spirit Hall has already torn off all pretense and even resorted to such evil power, it shows that they have no intention of letting this go."
The Second Elder took a deep breath and made the final decision:
"We cannot sit idly by and wait to die."
"We must immediately organize the elderly, women, children, and young talents within the sect to evacuate Haotian Peak in batches and secretly, and head to the backup base near Tiandou City to completely hide."
"If the Spirit Hall really launches an attack regardless of everything..."
"Then let's destroy the sect and abandon this place completely!"
"No matter what, the flame of the Haotian Sect... must not be extinguished!"
To abandon one's ancestral homeland is an utter disgrace.
For the Haotian Sect, who valued honor above all else, this was worse than death.
But looking at the remnants of the defeated army and the clansmen weeping because they had lost their loved ones, everyone fell silent.
Because they knew that the Second Elder was right.
Faced with Bibi Dong, who was as terrifying as a demon god, and the Spirit Hall, which could instantly kill peak experts, they no longer had the means to confront them head-on.
live.
Live like a rat.
This is what was once the number one sect in the world, and now it is the only hope left.
"Titan".
The Second Elder suddenly turned his head and looked at Titan, who had been silent all along.
“Yes.” Titan’s voice was deep.
“Your Power Clan… should also retreat.” The Second Elder’s tone was complicated. “Since the Agility Clan has already fallen, your Power Clan is too conspicuous, and it’s not safe for you to stay outside. Come with our families to Heaven Dou City; at least there will be someone to look after you there.”
Titan raised his head and looked at the elders who were once high and mighty but were now terrified.
He recalled Tang Hao's former high spirits, and the Grand Elder who had just died for the sect's honor. Then he looked at these "high-ranking" people in front of him who kept backing down in order to survive, and even betrayed Tang Hao.
Titan's heart is cold.
"No need."
Titan suddenly straightened his back, a cold smile of utter disappointment appearing on his rugged face.
"The Power Clan, although a subordinate clan, also has its own backbone."
"Since the Haotian Sect has closed its mountain, and since Master Tang Hao has been expelled from the sect by you..."
"Then we, the Power Clan, will not trouble the elders to do so."
"What do you mean?" The Second Elder frowned.
"It means..."
Titan turned and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Tang Xiao, who sat dejectedly on the throne, as if fulfilling his final duty of master and servant. Then he turned and walked out of the hall, his voice loud and resolute:
"From this day forward, the Power Clan shall sever ties with the Haotian Sect!"
"The world is vast, we'll find our own way!"
"Even if I die at the hands of the Spirit Hall, I will never be a coward and sell out my master to save my life!"
"Walk!!"
With a roar from Titan, the remaining members of the Power Clan followed their patriarch without hesitation, striding away from the Haotian Sect's main hall, which was filled with an atmosphere of decay and cowardice.
"You...you've gone too far! You've utterly rebelled!!" The Seventh Elder trembled with rage.
But no one stopped them.
Because they knew that with the departure of the Power Clan, the once mighty Haotian Sect, which ruled over four subordinate clans and was renowned throughout the world...
It's completely over.
……
The stronghold of the Power Clan, the Papal residence.
Inside the large tent, the fire blazed brightly, but Bibi Dong's face still appeared sickly pale. She leaned languidly against the soft couch, gently rubbing her temples with her fingers, trying to alleviate the tearing sensation that came from the depths of her soul.
"You bastard..."
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth inwardly, "You call this a side effect? I feel like my martial spirit is about to fall apart!"
Although that self-fusion martial soul technique was powerful, granting her nearly level 99 power in a short period of time, the cost was enormous. Not only were her two martial souls weakened, but they were also damaged.
The feeling was like forcibly stuffing two spiders with vastly different personalities and mutual hatred into the same cage, forcing them to devour and merge with each other. Although the power unleashed was devastating, the aftereffects were enough to drive anyone mad.
Nan Feng, that madman, used the point of their soul fusion to forcibly combine the two conflicting Spider Emperor soul powers. The core of this move is not martial soul fusion, but soul fusion.
The price of this fusion is that the two Spider Emperor Martial Souls, which collided at their highest point, are now both badly injured.
"One month..."
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth inwardly, "Not being able to use my full strength for a whole month, and not even being able to maintain the level of an ordinary Title Douluo. Nan Feng, is this what you call a small price to pay?"
"Relax, relax." Nan Feng's tone remained relaxed. "So what if you're a little weak? It's not like you're useless. Besides, you're the ruthless expert who just soloed the Haotian Sect dungeon. Who would dare to test your strength?"
"Even if you're slumped in a chair picking your toes right now, those people outside will think it's profound and mysterious, a return to simplicity."
"Get out!" Bibi Dong was utterly speechless.
She is a cautious person, and this outwardly strong but inwardly weak state makes her feel quite insecure!
Just then, the tent flap was lifted, and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan walked in with small, respectful steps.
"Your Majesty, Elders Ghost Leopard, Serpent Spear, and Porcupine have returned and are waiting for your orders outside the tent."
"Let them in." Bibi Dong sat up straight, forcibly mobilizing a wisp of soul power to make her complexion look rosier, and her eyes instantly regained their domineering arrogance.
A moment later, three figures filed in.
Ghost Leopard Douluo walked at the front, his eyes darting around and his steps unsteady, clearly revealing a guilty conscience.
