Chapter 18: Tang Hao Angries His Father to Death
The leader of the Haotian sect was stunned for a moment, and then his hands began to tremble violently, and he could not hold the note. His face turned red, and a surge of anger rose to the sky.
The next moment, he yelled:
"That rebellious son! How dare he?! I told him over and over again to control his temper! Yet he still caused such a terrible disaster! Asshole! I'm so pissed off! ..."
"Ahem…"
The leader of the Haotian sect began to cough violently and was gasping for breath.
"Puff~~!"
He suddenly vomited a large pool of blood, fainted, and fell backward.
Bang! It hit the ground.
The note slipped from his hand and slowly fell to the ground, stained with blood.
boom--!
Outside the door, Tang Xiao, who had just been promoted to Titled Douluo and was given the title "Xiaotian," rushed in directly after hearing the unusual noise.
"Father!"
Tang Xiao shouted, rushed over, picked up his father, and put him on the bed.
He shouted to the servants outside the door:
"Come here! Go and ask the healing soul masters in the clan, and also ask the elders to come over!"
Suddenly, Tang Xiao's eyes fell on the note on the ground.
He picked up the note and gently wiped the blood off it.
Then unfold it and read the information recorded on it.
In an instant, Tang Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted, and he was horrified beyond words: "It's over! Something terrible is going to happen!"
Not a long time.
Upon learning that the old sect leader was in trouble, the seven elders of the Haotian Sect rushed to the scene.
Also arriving were the healing soul masters from the Haotian Sect.
After performing the healing soul skills, the healing soul master finally shook his head, indicating that everyone was powerless to save the situation as the old sect master had passed away.
Seeing this, everyone was filled with grief, and Tang Xiao even fell to his knees and cried.
After the grief, Tang Lie, the seventh elder who had the worst temper, directly asked Tang Xiao about what happened.
Tang Xiao handed over the blood-stained note hesitantly, looking very reluctant.
Because the information on the note was extremely unfavorable to his beloved younger brother, Tang Hao.
Several elders took the note and passed it around. Their blood pressure soared, and they started cursing.
Some people scolded the Spirit Hall for going too far, framing others, being extremely shameless, and saying that if you have the guts, come on. Who is afraid of who? At worst, they will all die together.
Some people scolded Tang Hao for being a traitor and lawless, for angering his father to death, for betraying his teacher and ancestors, for bringing disaster, for putting the sect in danger for his pleasure, and said that they would hold Tang Hao accountable and punish him.
Among the elders of the Haotian Sect, except for the chief elder, who was a little calm and quiet, the rest were almost all muscular and rough men, and all kinds of embarrassing words kept coming out of their mouths.
The venue suddenly became noisy.
However, in the end, no one said anything about handing Tang Hao over.
After all, extreme protection of one's people is an old tradition of the Haotian sect.
Tang Xiao listened to the unbearable words of the elders, his face looking both interesting and ugly.
"Dear elders!"
Tang Xiao shouted, stopping the quarrel and attracting the attention of the elders, and said, "I think this matter needs to be discussed."
"I know Brother Hao well. He would never do such a thing as kill the Spirit Hall's pope and elders. This must be a conspiracy of the Spirit Hall, and the purpose is to destroy our Haotian sect."
"Besides, even if Brother Hao makes any mistakes, they should be handled by the Haotian Sect. What does it have to do with the Spirit Hall? Brother Hao must not be handed over. Otherwise, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of the sect. How can the Haotian sect still gain a foothold in the soul master world?"
"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The most important thing is to think of a way to resist the attack of the Spirit Hall."
Anyway, it is impossible to hand over Brother Hao, not in this lifetime.
Therefore, Tang Xiao's first thought was not to extinguish the anger of the Spirit Hall but how to actively push the Haotian Sect to respond to the challenge to ensure the safety of his brother Hao.
Therefore, Tang Xiao blocked the way to peace as soon as he opened his mouth and guided the elders to think in the direction of confronting the Spirit Hall.
"Hmph! What's there to think about? If the Spirit Hall dares to invade, just fight back!"
The hot-tempered Seventh Elder Tang Lie was the first to speak, looking like he was very tough and didn't care about anyone.
The second elder was a little more stable, but he and the seventh elder were in the same boat, so he also said:
"I agree with the Seventh Brother. The Spirit Hall has bullied us to the point of no return. If we don't even dare to fight back, then we, the world's number one sect, will be treated as a joke. Fight! We must fight! Haotian Sect, never surrender!"
Several other elders were also infected by the two men's fiery fighting spirit, and they all clamored to make the Spirit Hall pay a heavy price.
Finally, the steady chief elder stood up.
He paused for a moment, and then he banged the hammer-headed cane in his withered hand on the floor, making a clanging sound, and then he said:
"My brothers, please be patient."
Seeing the most senior elder standing up, the six elders shut up and fell silent.
The Great Elder sighed and continued:
"Let's not worry about Tang Hao for now. As for the Spirit Hall, we must fight!"
"Issue a sect summons to gather the sect disciples outside to return and strengthen the sect's defense. The sect's garrison should also increase manpower and strengthen patrols."
"Yes! Great Elder."
The six elders and Tang Xiao responded one after another.
Then the Great Elder continued,
"In addition, there is one more thing. Now that the sect master has passed away, the sect is facing internal and external troubles. We urgently need to select the strongest person to serve as the Sect Master and lead the Sect out of the current predicament."
"The selection of the sect leader will be held by the sect rules. Since the Spirit Hall may attack at any time, time is running out, so let's hold it tomorrow. Those who want to participate should go back and prepare well."
Upon hearing this, the six elders all showed their delight, as if it were pie in the sky.
Naturally, they had their ideas about the position of sect leader, especially the second elder and the seventh elder.
Tang Xiao's face looked a little bad.
The position of sect leader was supposed to be passed on to his younger brother, Tang Hao, but at this time the great elder announced that he would be selecting a sect leader and did not mention Tang Hao at all.
Tang Xiao was secretly angry, but he didn't know what to say.
He knows it clearly in his heart.
Now that Tang Hao has gotten into this situation, he might not be able to inherit the position of sect leader.
The current situation of the Haotian sect has fallen into a difficult situation, and it needs a strong person to lead it.
Soon, after discussing many matters concerning the Haotian sect, several elders left one after another.
Only the chief elder and Tang Xiao were left in the field.
The Great Elder walked up to Tang Xiao, looked at his gloomy face, sighed, and said earnestly:
"Tang Xiao, I know you are unhappy, but there is nothing we can do about it. And I believe you can understand."
"Among the many young people, I am most optimistic about you. Even your brother Tang Hao cannot compare to you."
"Except for not being able to comprehend Haotian's unique skill, the Great Sumeru Hammer, in other aspects, including talent and cultivation, you are no worse than Tang Hao."
"In my eyes, there is one thing you are better than Tang Hao at, and that is your character. You are much calmer and more patient than Tang Hao. If Tang Hao could be half as calm as you, he wouldn't have caused such a disaster and brought disaster to the sect."
"So, I am more optimistic about you."
When Tang Xiao heard the great elder's earnest words, he opened his eyes wide in surprise, full of disbelief, and said in a trembling voice:
"Great Elder, you..."
