Chapter 101. Spirit Hall declares war on the Clear Sky Sect.
Is Clear Sky Douluo innocent?
Since when has the Spirit Hall spoken up for Tang Hao? Tang Tian clenched his fists tightly.
Everyone knew that those Spirit Hall members outside were all crushed by Tang Hao. The Spirit Hall's words were simply a mockery of Tang Hao, saying they wouldn't dare attack the true Spirit Hall masters, only the weaker ones. Clear Sky Douluo was nothing more than that.
But Tang Tian couldn't really refute anything. They had fabricated so much evidence to prove that the Spirit Hall members outside were not Tang Hao's, but the Clear Sky Sect, and even whitewashed Tang Hao's actions. What could you say?
Everyone in the Clear Sky Sect glared in anger. The wise ones already suspected that the Spirit Hall might be making a big move.
Ning Fengzhi also sensed a brewing storm. The Clear Sky Sect was likely in serious trouble today, but he still wanted to give it a try. After all, the three upper sects were closely related.
Ning Fengzhi said kindly, "Elder Guimei, Sect Master Tang Tian, how about this? The Haotian Sect should come forward, admit their mistake, and apologize. My Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will bear the brunt of the Spirit Hall's losses. What do you think?"
Guimei said, "I don't think so. Sect Master Ning, the lost money can be compensated with wealth, and the destroyed Spirit Hall can be rebuilt. However, there is one thing that no amount of wealth from your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can restore."
"That is, those lives lost in the shameless attack. Some of them were our Spirit Hall's bishops, deacons, and other middle and lower-level personnel. Some were civilians affected by that shameless person's anger."
"Those Spirit Hall deacons and those civilians, aren't they all from humble backgrounds? What's there to care about? They're dead, and they're dead. The world will continue to operate as usual. If your Spirit Hall feels bad, our Xingluo Empire can give them some money to compensate them. Our Xingluo Empire and the Haotian Sect have always been allies and friendly. You don't want the Spirit Hall and the Haotian Sect to fall out, do you?" Dai Tianfeng said nonchalantly when he mentioned the lives of the dead civilians.
"It's just a few dead peasants, the Spirit Hall is really making a fuss out of nothing." Yu Yuanzhen folded his arms and said domineeringly, "We are three sects of the same blood. Do you think that you, the Spirit Hall, must embarrass the Haotian Sect for a few peasants?"
Originally, in such an occasion, Tai Tan, as the representative of the Power Clan, was not qualified to speak. However, the matter involved his master, Tang Hao, and the Spirit Hall openly and covertly ridiculed his master Tang Hao. Tai Tan was a little restless. The master is humiliated and the servant dies. How could Tang Hao be insulted and slandered by these villains of the Spirit Hall? Finally, finding the right opportunity, Tai Tan said with a curled lip:
"Sect Masters, His Majesty Xingluo is right. Only a few peasants died. These peasants, if they die, they die. It doesn't matter. After all, peasants can still regenerate. How can the reputation of that lord be ruined because of a few peasants? It's just a few Spirit Halls that were uprooted. Why is the Spirit Hall so obsessed with such a small matter? The Yu Clan is proficient in the construction industry, so you can let them help you rebuild Spirit Halls in various places. As for those peasants who died, it doesn't matter. They were able to look upon the majestic figure of the towering Titled Douluo before they died. It was an honor to die."
Seeing so many people speaking for him, Tang Tian also looked at the Spirit Hall with a face of satisfaction and said, "Since the Spirit Hall has proved for Hao'er that this matter was not done by him, but this matter was not done by our Haotian Sect, what else do you have to say? Could it be that you plan to tear your relationship with my Haotian Sect, the Three Upper Sects, and the Xingluo Empire?"
"A few peasants?" Yue Guan said, "Our Pope has said that the lives of those who join our Spirit Hall are invaluable. This blood debt can only be repaid with blood."
Tang Xiao finally lost his patience and said, "Repay with blood? You mean using the blood of our Haotian Sect's nobles to repay the lives of those peasants? Is Qian Xunji making a big deal out of nothing, or is he just using this as an excuse?"
Yue Guan said to the cardinal, "Read the declaration of war."
Hearing the words 'declaration of war,' the brows of the leaders from all sides furrowed.
"Yes, Elder Ju," the cardinal said, stepping forward and spreading out a papal decree.
"Read, the papal decree of the Spirit Hall:"
"A few days ago, on December 7, 2641 of the Spirit Calendar, a day that will live in infamy, the Spirit Hall suffered a premeditated attack from the Clear Sky Sect. At the time, the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were still at peace. The Spirit Hall and the three upper sects still maintained their original treaty relations, hoping to maintain peace across the Douluo Continent. When the Clear Sky Sect launched a shameless attack on the Spirit Hall, they blamed the incident on a Titled Douluo who had resigned from the Clear Sky Sect. However, we in the Spirit Hall do not believe that this was his doing.
After a thorough investigation by the Spirit Hall, We discovered that Tang Hao's attack on the Spirit Hall was just a means for the Haotian Sect to cover up their despicable attack on the Spirit Hall.
In this premeditated attack by the Haotian Sect on the Spirit Hall, a total of 123 Spirit Hall bishops, deacons, and Spirit Hall personnel were killed. A total of 450 civilians and civilian spirit masters who came to the Spirit Hall to awaken their spirits, or to receive monthly payments and handle formalities were killed.
This was a long-planned invasion. We can even say that Tang Hao, who still inherited the Haotian Sect's honorary title: Haotian, and still carried the Haotian Sect's inherited spirit bones, He did not withdraw from the Haotian Sect. He only withdrew from the Haotian Sect on the surface. In fact, he did so to protect his own sect and launched a premeditated attack on our Spirit Hall in an attempt to weaken the Spirit Hall's strength.
Facing this organized, premeditated, and evil invasion, our Spirit Hall will use its own righteous power to achieve the final victory. I believe I have expressed the wishes of the Spirit Hall Elders Council and everyone in the Spirit Hall. I also want to make a statement. This time, we must not only defend our Spirit Hall to the greatest extent possible, but also ensure that the Haotian Sect, which has betrayed us, will not be defeated. "The Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect are already at war.
Our Spirit Hall, the people we protect, and our interests are all in peril. However, with our powerful military and the people's support for our Spirit Hall, we will surely win, and the angels will protect us.
Due to the Clear Sky Sect's despicable and shameless attack, I officially announce in the Council of Elders that the Spirit Hall declares war on the Clear Sky Sect—" As the Cardinal finished his words, the scene suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
