Chapter 92. What I Need Is the Truth.
Tang Xiao's understanding came to him immediately.
Yes, my younger brother is a dignified Clear Sky Douluo. Alone and out there, if he can't defeat you, Spirit Hall, then I can't escape.
This thought instantly reassured Tang Xiao.
Tang Hao was creating obstacles for the Spirit Hall, but the Clear Sky Sect couldn't blame him for that. Meanwhile, Brother Hao, by continuing to attack the Spirit Hall, would also garner a certain amount of prestige in Douluo Continent. Rising to power by riding on the Spirit Hall's reputation was often a good thing, but the Spirit Hall had to suffer in silence in this matter. Brother Hao wouldn't let it go until he had vented his anger.
The Clear Sky Sect then relented, claiming that Tang Hao was responsible and no longer a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect.
That day, Bibi Dong was caring for Qian Renxue in the Angel Hall, while Liu Erlong accompanied Qian Xunji to attend the Spirit Hall's morning meeting.
The cardinal informed Qian Xunji of the Haotian Sect's response and said, "Your Holiness, this is how the Haotian Sect responds to our Spirit Hall."
Qian Xunji remained silent, but the group of elders guarding the Spirit Hall erupted in anger. Ju Douluo angrily asked, "Haotian Sect, expelling Tang Hao is like shaking this matter off?"
"I think the Haotian Sect is convinced we can't apprehend Tang Hao. Your Holiness, please give the order to apprehend Tang Hao. Once we capture him, the Haotian Sect won't be able to say anything," Ling Yuan Douluo said.
Liu Erlong watched all this unfold before her. The Haotian Sect had dismissed Tang Hao, while Tang Hao, alone, moved across the continent, leaving the Spirit Hall powerless. A surge of satisfaction welled up in her heart.
She resented the Spirit Hall, and it all depended on how this cowardly Qian Xunji would handle the situation with Tang Hao. It would be best if he played coward and retreated to Spirit City, completely destroying the Spirit Hall's prestige.
Facing the Titled Douluo below, shouting for their lives, Qian Xunji shook his head and said, "In my opinion, this wasn't Tang Hao's doing. It was a Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect, disgruntled with our Spirit Hall, who acted."
The Cardinal said, "But, Your Holiness, based on our investigation, is it really Tang Hao's doing?"
Qian Xunji was furious, shouting, "Does the truth matter? I need the truth, Ghost!"
"I'm here," Ghost said.
"Get your Shadow Angels to act. This wasn't the Clear Sky Sect's doing, yet you're trying to pin the blame on them," Qian Xunji said.
"Yes, Your Holiness," Ghost said.
In the face of Tang Hao's attack on the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect's attempt to shift the blame, Pope Qian Xunji didn't take any major action.
This only emboldened Tang Hao's arrogance, and over the next few days, several more Spirit Halls were razed by Tang Hao.
Standing atop the ruins of the Spirit Hall, Tang Hao spoke condescendingly, "Qian Xunji, I'm not strong enough to ascend to the summit of the Spirit Hall and challenge you to a life-or-death battle. So, before my son grows up, I must first eliminate all your minions on the continent."
"You owe me a debt, and I will settle it with you, one by one."
At this moment, the entire Douluo Continent was buzzing with this incident. "What a joke!
Qianxunji actually protested to the Haotian Sect! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Tang Hao's fault," Bone Douluo said.
"I think Qianxunji was terrified by what happened back then. He doesn't dare to confront Tang Hao, and only dares to attack the Haotian Sect. Humph." Sword Douluo sneered, "What a shame! The Haotian Sect is not a place where Spirit Hall can easily attack them. Even Qian Daoliu couldn't make the Haotian Sect bow down, let alone Qianxunji."
"Tang Hao has already left the Haotian Sect. No matter how much Qianxunji demands, he can't hold the Haotian Sect responsible."
Ning Fengzhi clasped his hands behind his back and said, "This time, Spirit Hall will probably have to swallow their anger." Sword Douluo Chenxin nodded and said, "I don't know what provoked Haotian Douluo to attack Spirit Hall, but I doubt Tang Hao will stop until he's vented his anger. Spirit Hall's prestige will be completely shattered."
When Tang Hao attacked Spirit Hall, the Haotian Sect was in a state of panic. However, when they saw that Spirit Hall had merely protested, and the Haotian Sect responded forcefully, the disciples throughout the Haotian Sect were filled with pride.
The aura that had once dominated Spirit Hall had returned, and the disciples walked the streets with their heads held high.
Haotianzong disciple A said: "Spirit Hall really thinks that we Haotianzong are spineless and want us to bow our heads. Ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Haotianzong disciple B said: "Humph, that loser Qianxunji was beaten to a pulp by our Haotian Douluo Tang Hao and only dared to protest to our sect. I guess he doesn't even have the courage to arrest Uncle Hao. It's ridiculous."
Haotianzong disciple C said: "Although Patriarch Tang Chen has disappeared, our Haotianzong is still the number one sect in the world. Spirit Hall, an organization that rose to prominence by supporting peasants, is worthy of competing with our Haotianzong?"
Haotianzong disciple D said: "This time, even if Spirit Hall is angry, it's best to hold it in. Uncle Hao won't let you Spirit Hall go until you vent all your anger."
Haotianzong disciple E said: "That's right. Patriarch Tang Chen left the Haotianzong for decades. Is the Spirit Hall rising up again? Is it that our Haotian Sect can't lift the hammer anymore, or is it that your Spirit Hall is getting cocky?
Haotian Sect disciple F said, "I really don't know why the Sect Master asked Uncle Hao to leave our Haotian Sect. Even if Uncle Hao stayed, would the Spirit Hall dare to attack our Haotian Sect?"
Haotian Sect disciple G said, "You don't understand. Our Uncle Hao is feigning his withdrawal from the sect. In the future, after Uncle Hao is expelled from our Haotian Sect, the Spirit Hall won't be held responsible for this. Uncle Hao can then use the Haotian Hammer to teach the Spirit Hall a lesson. In the future, when our Haotian Sect's strength grows, or when the old Sect Master returns, and Uncle Hao joins our Haotian Sect, what can the Spirit Hall do to us?"
The three major sects and the two great empires, without exception, were all watching the Spirit Hall's joke.
Before Qian Daoliu, the Spirit Hall's reputation was renowned. It wasn't until Qian Daoliu's time that Tang Chen, overpowering the Spirit Hall, forced it to avoid the Haotian Sect's might. After Tang Chen's disappearance, the Spirit Hall regained its footing. But just as Qian Xunji was about to make a move, he and his three Titled Douluo were completely thrashed by the newly promoted Titled Douluo, Tang Hao.
Over the past six years, despite issuing a wanted order for Tang Hao, the Spirit Hall hasn't yet apprehended him. Qian Xunji's prestige has plummeted.
