Chapter 39: The Lion Speaks Out.
"Yes, Teacher,"
Qin Ming replied briefly, then turned to Tang Xu and said,
"Sect Master Tang Xu, our Spirit Hall's envoy to your Haotian Sect is a message of goodwill.
We originally only wanted to invite you to participate in the ceremony of re-ordering the seven major sects. We
didn't expect so many complications to arise out of nowhere. This is not what we at Spirit Hall wished for..."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xu's eyes widened.
He glanced at the Lion Douluo beside him, then at Qin Ming before him.
Tang Xu couldn't help but mutter inwardly,
"How could Lion Douluo, with his tyrannical personality, have raised such a disciple?"
As Tang Xu stared in astonishment, Qin Ming continued.
"Sect Master Tang Xu, those elders are all seriously injured.
If you don't quickly arrange for treatment, they might not last long...
Even if those elders die, your Haotian Sect still has to pay the compensation they owe."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xu's face darkened, and the good impression he had just had of Qin Ming completely vanished.
"That damn brat, he's the same bird as the Spirit Hall..."
Shocked, Tang Xu turned to look away.
Several of the Haotian Sect elders were slumped to the ground, some even unconscious.
Seeing this, Tang Xu hurriedly apologized to Qin Ming and Lion Douluo before rushing forward to investigate.
The more he examined, the more serious his expression grew.
"With such severe injuries, the chances of these elders achieving a breakthrough in the future are likely to be greatly reduced.
My health is failing, and Tang Hao and Tang Xiao haven't matured yet.
My Haotian Sect will probably have to keep a low profile for a while..."
The thought of the Haotian Sect's downfall under his control filled Tang Xu with bitterness.
Qin Ming, too disinterested to consider Tang Xu's thoughts, added casually.
"Sect Master Tang Xu, you should have healing treasures in your secret vault.
Don't be reluctant to use them this time, okay?
If those elders die, we in the Spirit Hall won't be responsible."
Hearing this, Tang Xu nodded with a bitter face.
He then summoned several Haotian Sect disciples who had just arrived from the sect.
"Haven't you noticed the injuries of the other elders? Why don't you quickly gather the sect's healing spirit masters?
And take out all the healing medicines in stock.
Also, send a few men to the Poyi Clan
to ask if they have any prepared healing medicines."
After a pause, Tang Xu added.
"By the way, notify Elder Baihe later.
Have him depart immediately for Xingluo Imperial City.
Ask the Xingluo Imperial Family for healing treasures as quickly as possible."
Upon hearing Tang Xu's order, the Haotian Sect disciples hurried out...
After completing the arrangements, Tang Xu turned to Qin Ming and the others and spoke.
"I'm truly sorry to have kept you so long.
Your Majesty the Lion, Qin Ming, please come in with me
. We'll go talk inside the sect."
Qin Ming nodded, and he and Lion Douluo followed Tang Xu.
Ten minutes later,
in a magnificently decorated hall within the Haotian Sect,
Qin Ming and the other two took their seats, each served tea by a Haotian Sect disciple.
Only then did Tang Xu turn to Lion Douluo and say,
"Your Majesty the Lion, this incident was a complete blunder.
The culprits, Tang Lie and Tang Xing, are both dead...
I wonder what price our Haotian Sect will have to pay to reconcile with Spirit Hall?"
Lion Douluo said, pointing to Qin Ming beside him.
"I'll leave all negotiations to my disciple. You can discuss compensation with him."
Hearing Lion Douluo's words, Tang Xu pulled a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Ming.
"Qin Ming, these are the treasures from my Haotian Sect's secret vault.
See if there's anything you're looking for?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming shook his head and didn't take the brochure Tang Xu handed him. He simply smiled and said,
"I've heard that your Haotian Sect possesses three high-quality inherited soul bones.
There's also the Haotian Nine Absolutes, the Great Sumeru Hammer's secret, and the astonishing Ring Explosion technique..." Upon hearing this, Tang Xu's face fell, and he hurriedly interrupted.
"Qin Ming, these two are absolutely not allowed.
The inherited soul bone must be passed down to the future Haotian Douluo of our Haotian Sect.
This soul bone cannot be given to you.
Also, the Nine Haotian Absolutes and the Great Sumeru Hammer's secrets are also the secrets of our Haotian Sect.
Aside from our Haotian Sect Master, not even the elders of our Haotian Sect can learn the Great Sumeru Hammer.
These are our Haotian Sect's most precious treasures, and they cannot be passed on to you, the Spirit Hall."
Qin Ming remained silent.
He simply took a sip from the teacup beside him.
Seeing this, the Lion Douluo snorted coldly. Though he remained silent, his pressure was unreservedly released.
Faced with the Lion Douluo's undisguised threat, Tang Xu's face showed a hint of bitterness.
"Your Majesty the Lion, Qin Ming.
Are these conditions truly unacceptable?
Without the inherited spirit bones, the Nine Clear Sky Absolutes, and the profound meaning of the Great Sumeru Hammer,
our Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Douluo would be unworthy of his title...
How could he protect our Clear Sky Sect?
Besides these conditions, could you offer something else?
We have other treasures within the Clear Sky Sect.
As long as you desire, we will do our best to satisfy you."
Hearing this, Qin Ming put down his teacup and said with a smile.
"Sect Master Tang Xu, you're joking. A Clear Sky Douluo is never achieved by a few spirit bones and a few self-created spirit skills. What
truly makes a Clear Sky Douluo is the heart that desires to protect the Clear Sky Sect.
As long as this heart is there, what does spirit bones or self-created spirit skills matter?"
Qin Ming said, spreading his hands towards Tang Xu.
"Master Tang Xu, once the future Clear Sky Douluo learns of your choice, he'll surely understand.
After all, they're just a few 'ordinary' spirit bones and a few 'insignificant' self-created spirit skills...
Compared to these things, isn't the friendship of our Spirit Hall more important?"
Qin Ming said, rising from his seat and making a move to leave.
The Lion Douluo beside him looked at Qin Ming with a strange look, but he still stood up.
Seeing this, Tang Xu hurriedly addressed Qin Ming and the others.
"Qin Ming, Your Majesty the Lion, don't worry.
We can't give you inherited spirit bones, but we have several of slightly lower quality spirit bones
in our Clear Sky Sect collection. You can choose one of them.
Also, the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and the Great Sumeru Hammer are both spirit skills created by my father, Tang Chen.
They require the Clear Sky Hammer spirit to be used.
It's useless for your Spirit Hall to take them."
Hearing this, Qin Ming shook his head.
"Master Tang Xu, I have no shortage of ordinary spirit bones.
As for the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and the Great Sumeru Hammer Secret…
Master Tang Xu, you just said they require the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit to activate.
It doesn't matter if you give them to me.
I simply want to use them as a reference, drawing on the ideas behind these two secret techniques, and try to create my own unique spirit skills."
Hearing this, Tang Xu frowned, pondering.
Qin Ming was not in a hurry. After returning to his seat, he quietly waited with his tea.
After a while, Tang Xu finally spoke.
"Qin Ming, I can give you the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and the Great Sumeru Hammer Secret, as long as you promise not to pass them on. But I really can't
give you
the inheritance spirit bones.
Of lower quality spirit bones, I can let you choose any two."
Qin Ming was about to respond when
a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect hurried in from outside to report.
"Master, Elder Baihe of the Min clan has requested an audience.
He said he has a sacred medicine for healing.
He is willing to give it to our Haotian Sect to be used to heal the wounds of those elders..."
