Watching Tang Hao’s actions, Qian Xunji calmly looked at the pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer in his opponent’s hand, “Tang Hao, are you raising the Clear Sky Hammer with the intent to make a move against me?”
Qian Xunji’s voice was not loud, yet it carried a chill, “By making a move against the Pope of Spirit Hall, are you Clear Sky Sect members planning to completely declare war on our Spirit Hall?”
Declare war?
Hearing these two words, Tang Xiao beside him shivered all over.
Although Titled Douluo Qian Xunji’s oppressive aura was reined in, that intangible superior aura still pressed down on him until he could barely breathe.
“Brother Hao!
Calm down!
You must calm down!” Tang Xiao roared at Tang Hao, almost grinding his teeth.
“Spirit Hall is not something our Clear Sky Sect can afford to offend.
Are you out of your mind?
Do you want to become a sinner of the Clear Sky Sect?”
At this moment, Tang Hao’s eyes were slightly red, and his hands gripping the Clear Sky Hammer trembled slightly from excessive force.
Looking at Qian Xunji as if facing a formidable enemy, he thought that if he used his Martial Soul Avatar and detonated all seven rings simultaneously, he might be able to put up some resistance.
“Big Brother!
He is here for Ah Yin, he is going to harm Ah Yin!
Ah Yin is our companion!”
“Shut up!” Hearing these words, Tang Xiao was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Just for a woman, and moreover a woman he had known for less than half a month whose background was completely unclear, he was going to drag the entire Sect into an abyss of eternal damnation?
Even with one’s toes, anyone could figure out this math, right?
Tang Xiao completely failed to understand his younger brother at this moment!
Just because of a woman, he wanted to make an enemy of Spirit Hall?
What a joke!
He immediately bowed and saluted toward Qian Xunji: “Pope, my younger brother is young, impetuous, and ignorant, and has been spoiled by me on normal days.”
“Today he offended the Pope, so as his Elder brother, I apologize to you on his behalf, and I hope the Pope can be magnanimous and not hold it against him.”
Tang Xiao made his stance extremely humble.
“Mhm…
You are not bad.” Looking down condescendingly at the bowing-and-scraping Tang Xiao, Qian Xunji said, “As an Elder brother, you are much smarter than him, and not nearly as impulsive!”
“I really don’t understand why the Clear Sky Sect chose him as the future successor instead of you, the Elder brother!”
“Compared to him, you are much more responsible!”
Tang Xiao directly ignored the rest of the words.
Hearing that the Pope did not blame the reckless Tang Hao, the tightly wound string in his heart relaxed slightly.
Then he turned around, grabbed Tang Hao’s arm, and sternly reprimanded him: “Tang Hao, hurry up and apologize to the Pope!”
“Big Brother!” Tang Hao widened his eyes, his face full of indignation.
“Why should we apologize to him?
Our Clear Sky Sect is the number one Sect under heaven, and there are no cowards under the Clear Sky Hammer!”
Hearing Tang Hao’s near-idiotic statement, Tang Xiao only felt his temples throbbing and his blood pressure rising.
“Slap…”
A crisp and loud slapping sound rang out as Tang Xiao slapped Tang Hao across the face, directly stunning Tang Hao into a daze.
“Tang Hao!!!
Do you really think that our Clear Sky Sect is invincible across the entire continent and in the Soul Master World?!”
Tang Xiao wore a bitter expression and said with a mix of disappointment and anger: “That is merely a superficial appearance hyped up by the outside world!”
“Our title of the number one Sect under heaven was hammered out stroke by stroke by Old Ancestor Tang Chen back then!
What is powerful is the Old Ancestor, not our Clear Sky Sect!”
“Now that the Old Ancestor’s life or death is unknown and his whereabouts are lost, are you really going to drag the entire Clear Sky Sect up and down into this just for a woman you’ve known for less than half a month?”
“You are the future successor of the Clear Sky Sect, and your actions outside represent the Clear Sky Sect.
How can you be so muddle-headed?”
Tang Xiao’s words pierced straight to the heart.
Spirit Hall had stood tall on Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years without falling; how profound was its foundation?!
Just the Titled Douluo Elders on the surface were so numerous that it was despair-inducing!
Moreover, Spirit Hall still had mysterious consecrators!
And looking back at their Clear Sky Sect?
Aside from the Old Ancestor, currently there was only their father, the current Sect Master Tang Wei, a single Titled Douluo propping up the facade.
If they truly went to war with Spirit Hall, their Clear Sky Sect would have no second possibility other than destruction…
Tang Hao was slapped awake by this sudden slap.
He blankly looked at his Elder brother, fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Their Clear Sky Sect…
was it really this weak?
Living in the halo of the number one Sect under heaven all along, he had never thought about it.
Tang Hao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking of what the Sect would face if he made a move today, and in the end, he still put away the Clear Sky Hammer.
But when he turned his head to look at the young girl hiding behind him, there was still an indescribable reluctance in his heart!
Clearly they had known each other for such a short time, yet he just felt that Ah Yin was his destined one!
Furthermore, he had a feeling that if he just let go like this today, he would definitely regret it in the future.
“Pope…” Tang Hao took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, “I wonder if the Pope can inform this Junior.”
“Why…
did you come specifically for Ah Yin?
She is merely an ordinary female Soul Master, and shouldn’t pose any threat to Spirit Hall, right?”
“If the Pope is magnanimous, no matter what price we must pay, we only ask that you spare Ah Yin!”
“An ordinary female Soul Master?” Qian Xunji let out a scoff.
“If she were truly just an ordinary Soul Master, with me being the Pope, why would I run all this way specifically to find her?”
Qian Xunji reined in his smile, his gaze sweeping coldly across Tang Hao, “Tang Hao, I can let your impulsive rudeness just now pass!
But you must remember that when you brothers are outside, every word and action does not represent yourselves, but the Clear Sky Sect!”
“Showing your hammer to me right here?
If this matter spreads out, I can judge that your Clear Sky Sect intends to declare war on our Spirit Hall!”
“Before making a move, think more about your Sect, think more about your seriously ill father who is struggling bitterly to hold on!”
“If I wanted to destroy a Clear Sky Sect that has lost Tang Chen, it would be nothing more than lifting a hand!” Qian Xunji said indifferently.
Hearing this, Tang Hao could not say a single word, his back already soaked in cold sweat.
He finally realized that Qian Xunji standing before him was not some kind-hearted person, but the Pope of Spirit Hall, the Dominator of the continent’s number one force!
If Spirit Hall truly were some evil force and they wanted to annihilate the Clear Sky Sect, no one could stop them.
“Pope…
You haven’t answered this Junior’s question just now.” Tang Hao spoke cautiously, the growth brought by this single moment far surpassing his training over the past five years!
Qian Xunji moved his gaze away from Tang Hao, letting it fall upon the blue-haired young girl behind him as his eyes turned playful.
“Will you tell them your identity yourself, or shall I explain your identity to them on your behalf?”
