Chapter 3762

Seeing that the elders had indeed changed their attitude, Tang Xiao spoke again, "Now that the elder has spoken thus, concerning Tang Hao's matter..."

In an instant, the elders exchanged glances...

But quickly, it seemed they all understood each other's intentions...

If they could gain such a genius, then turning a blind eye to Tang Hao's case wouldn't be an issue!!

After all, it was mostly just lip service, and they weren't particularly concerned about past events!

With this in mind, the elders immediately made their stance clear...

"Cough cough... Even though Tang Hao has been expelled from the sect and should not return, his child is innocent and should rightfully be brought back to the Hao Tian Clan for cultivation!!"

"That's right, as the saying goes, the sins of the father should not befall his family. Tang Hao's situation should not involve his child!!"

"In light of Tang San, the child's involvement, let us put Tang Hao's matter aside for now, but just this once!"

"Exactly, exactly, we elders are not unreasonable people; in consideration of Tang San, we can temporarily overlook Tang Hao's transgressions!!"

Tang Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, "Good, worthy of being elders of my Hao Tian Clan, you should indeed exhibit such magnanimity, rather than fussing over every little thing!!"

It seemed that persuading these elders had become an easy task!

"Then, let us now plan how to rescue Tang San, who is imprisoned in the Worship Hall."

They thought progress would be smooth, but then an incongruent voice interrupted...

"Sect Master, we have no objections to rescuing Tang San; it's just that before doing so, I have a question!"

After speaking, the elder stroked his beard...

Tang Xiao felt something was amiss but still forced himself to say, "Ask directly what you wish to know!"

The former continued, "Qian Dao Liu must have known Tang San was Tang Hao's child when he brought him back to the Worship Hall!"

"But why didn't he immediately execute him? After all, Tang Hao and Qian Dao Liu have significant enmity!"

Tang Hao pursed his lips without answering, for he already had an answer in his heart!

Tang Xiao frowned, "This matter is what we should consider later, elder..."

The elder snorted, "Sect Master, I'm thinking of our sect's best interest; please answer my question!"

Tang Xiao did not respond, opting for silence...

Seeing this, the elder spoke again, "Since the Sect Master will not speak, then let me!"

"There are two possibilities for Qian Dao Liu imprisoning Tang San in the Worship Hall."

"First, it could be a trap using Tang San to lure our Hao Tian Clan into this affair, to capture us all in one fell swoop!"

"Second, it's very likely that Tang San has colluded with the people of the Worship Hall and become one of them!"

Tang Hao immediately rebuked, "Impossible, Xiaosan is not that kind of person!!"

Regardless of how these guys ostracized him, he had no complaints!

But to say that Xiaosan would join the Martial Soul Hall, that was impossible!

The elder challenged, "Impossible?? Then tell me, Tang Hao, did you personally witness Tang San being imprisoned in the Worship Hall?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you only sensed his presence in the Worship Hall, right?"

Tang Hao clenched his teeth, "I...."

Indeed, he had not witnessed Tang San being imprisoned; everything was mere speculation!

The questioner pressed on, "But if it truly is imprisonment, what makes you think the people of the Worship Hall would be so negligent??"

Cold sweat broke out on Tang Hao's forehead. These few sentences had almost pushed him into a corner!

Tang Xiao slammed the table fiercely, "Enough! Given the animosity between Tang Hao and Qian Dao Liu, do you think he would treat Tang San well??"

Yet, this Elder showed no signs of fear and insisted, "Sect Master, I have no other intentions, just stating the facts. If Tang San has indeed defected to the Martial Soul Hall, and we send a large number of Soul Master powerhouses to rescue him, once ambushed, our entire sect might be uprooted!"

"Sect Master, you couldn't bear such consequences either, could you?"

Tang Xiao clenched his fists, but couldn't refute the argument, "You're exaggerating! Before we set out to rescue Tang San, we would certainly send someone to infiltrate the Worship Hall to scout the situation, out of caution!"

"That kind of scenario simply won't happen!"

Seeing this, the former tactfully retreated, "Since you've said as much, Sect Master, I have no objections."

His purpose in saying all this was just to make everyone present doubt Tang San!

Visibly frustrated, Tang Xiao cut him off, "Fine, if you have no further doubts, let's then discuss how to rescue Tang San!"

"As well as which disciples to send to gather intelligence at the Worship Hall!"

They would not rashly send people to the Worship Hall unless necessary!

Because once their identities were exposed there, it meant certain death!

However, Tang San with his Innate full soul power was worth the risk!

...

The Worship Hall!

Qian Dao Liu slowly opened his eyes, muttering to himself, "It's been some time since Tang Hao learned of Tang San's whereabouts and left. Why haven't there been any actions taken!"

Hearing this, Gold Crocodile Douluo asked, "Big brother, could it be that Tang Hao is scared of you and decided to give up on rescuing Tang San??"

Qian Dao Liu responded decisively, "Impossible. If he had decided to abandon Tang San, he wouldn't have needed to probe the Worship Hall!"

"If I'm not mistaken, Tang Hao knows he can't rescue Tang San alone; he'll undoubtedly seek help!"

"The only support he can rely on is the Hao Tian Clan behind him!"

Jincroc Elder was clearly skeptical, "Big brother, that... could be unlikely, right? It's said that the Hao Tian Clan already expelled Tang Hao from the sect. How could they possibly make a massive move just to save his son!"

Qian Dao Liu glanced at him, neither denying nor affirming, but continued, "Indeed, Tang Hao has been expelled from the Hao Tian Clan, but don't forget, the Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan is his brother!"

"As soon as he speaks up, Tang Xiao will likely use his status as Sect Master to command those Elders to obey!"

Jincroc Elder, upon hearing this, chose to remain silent, because he still didn't believe Tang Hao could rally the Hao Tian Clan's forces.

Qian Dao Liu pressed his lips together before changing the subject, "Alright, leave this matter to me; don't interfere!"

"As for Tang San, how is his cultivation?"

Jincroc Elder was taken aback for a moment before responding, "Tang San's soul power rank has improved significantly, but at his current young age, it's difficult to make further progress!"

Even if his potential were fully unleashed, how strong could a child under ten years old be??

To stand against his own father, it would probably require a long wait...

Whether big brother could wait that long was uncertain. If he lost interest prematurely, Tang San might meet a gruesome end!
