—------------------—
Tang Xiao was delighted. It turned out that the Soul Palace was also worried about the threat from the Spirit Hall. This made things easier.
"Palace Master Xiao, my Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall are equally at odds. I am willing to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Spirit Hall on behalf of the Clear Sky Sect. If the Spirit Hall intends to attack the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect will definitely persuade you to help them. With our help, the Spirit Hall will absolutely not be able to defeat the Spirit Hall."
Papapapa
When Tang Xiao said this, he heard Xiao Mu suddenly clapping his hands.
"Palace Master Xiao, what are you doing..."
Xiao Mu said, "I think what Sect Master Tang said is so wonderful. I didn't expect the Haotian Sect to be so helpful. I can't help but admire it."
"So that's how it is." Tang Xiao said with a smile:
"The Spirit Hall has committed countless evil deeds, irritating both heaven and man. The Spirit Hall has developed a Soul-Breaking Pill that can enhance soul power. This is good news for all soul masters on Douluo Continent. Clear Sky Sect naturally can't sit idly by, but..."
Xiao Mu had a smile on his face, but he finally couldn't hold it back anymore and was about to tell her his purpose.
Sure enough, Tang Xiao continued:
"It's just that the Haotian Sect has been in seclusion for many years, and its disciples are short of resources. After our alliance, I wonder if you can provide some Soul-Breaking Pills for the Haotian Sect's disciples to practice."
"Of course, I'm not asking for Soul Palace's elixirs for nothing. In addition to helping Soul Palace deal with the threat from Spirit Hall, the Haotian Sect can also undertake some tasks such as finding medicinal herbs and training Soul Palace disciples."
"I wonder what Master Xiao thinks?"
Xiao Mu did not answer immediately, but looked at Qian Qiusui and Zhan Kaishan.
"What do you two think of Sect Master Tang's proposal?"
The three of them looked at each other, and the next moment they all burst into laughter.
The Soul Palace has been hit by a beggar, and they are clearly here to beg for food, but they still act like they are here to help. The Haotian Sect is really shameless.
"Palace Master Xiao, what do you mean by this?"
Tang Xiao's face turned cold.
He heard full of sarcasm and disdain in the laughter. This was the first time he was laughed at in person.
"What do you mean? I'd like to ask you what you mean. Haven't you ever heard of the term daydreaming?"
Tang Xiao suddenly stood up and glared at Xiao Mu.
"Palace Master Xiao, our Haotian Sect is kind enough to help the Soul Hall fight against the Spirit Hall, but you treat us like this. Don't you think it's too much?"
"Help?" Xiao Mu asked Qian Qiusui:
"Great Lord, have you ever heard of this kind of help?"
"No, it's completely unheard of. I can't imagine how shameless someone would think this is a help to the Soul Palace."
Xiao Mu turned to look at Zhan Kaishan again.
"Second Lord, what do you think?"
"Bah! This is so despicable! Even a dog would wag its tail when asking for a bone. How can the Haotian Sect ask for pills with empty words? How can such a cheap thing happen?"
"You…you guys…"
The three of them kept arguing with each other, making Tang Xiao tremble with anger.
Their Haotian Sect was already a very unreasonable sect in the past, but after arriving at the Soul Palace, they discovered that the Soul Palace was even worse than the Haotian Sect in the past.
He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.
This is the Spirit Hall. If a conflict arises, he will be the only one to suffer.
"Palace Master Xiao, the Haotian Sect is completely well-intentioned. If you don't accept it, that's fine. Why are you being so hurtful?"
"Kindness?"
Xiao Mu sneered.
"It's better for you, Haotian Sect, to put aside your kindness. Not to mention that the Spirit Hall hasn't caused any trouble for us yet, even if they really want to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys and show off the Spirit Hall's power, don't we still have you, the Haotian Sect, who were beaten to your knees and begging for mercy?"
"What's the matter? Have you forgotten the pain now that your wound has healed? Do you think you've become stronger and can defeat the Spirit Hall? Or do you want to cling to our Spirit Hall to embolden yourselves?"
Xiao Mu showed no mercy, and every word he said hit Tang Xiao's lungs.
Since he is the one being extorted, there is no way Xiao Mu will give him face.
A sect that has been forced like a stray dog by the Spirit Hall still claims to be protecting the Spirit Hall. This is simply nonsense.
"Kaishan, please help me get this Sect Master Tang out."
Not bothering to pay attention to Tang Xiao who wanted to say something, Xiao Mu directly said to Kaishan Douluo.
"Yes, Sect Master Tang, please."
Zhan Kaishan spoke to Tang Xiao bluntly.
Tang Xiao's expression changed again and again. Xiao Mu's attitude was many times worse than the worst case scenario he had expected before he came.
He originally thought that even if Xiao Mu did not agree to form an alliance with the Haotian Sect, he would at least maintain superficial politeness. Who knew that Xiao Mu was too lazy to even maintain superficial politeness and did not care at all whether the Haotian Sect would be angry about it.
Faced with Zhan Kaishan's bad attitude, Tang Xiao took a deep breath and walked outside.
A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Tang Xiao suppressed the anger in his heart and walked out with heavy steps.
As soon as he walked out of the Heavenly Palace, he heard Xiao Mu's undisguised voice behind him.
"Lingling, give the order. If anyone from the Haotian Sect comes again, don't tell me. This kind of sect, which is obviously poor but still pretends to be tough, will be treated like a dog from now on."
Ye Lingling nodded.
"I understand, Palace Master. From now on, Haotian Sect and dogs are not allowed to enter the Soul Palace."
"clever."
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord."
Ye Lingling used to be a very low-key, calm and introverted person, but after staying in the Soul Palace for a long time, she felt that this arrogant and domineering style of behavior was also very good. It was hard to say anything else, but at least it would not let her suffer any grievances.
"Ahem~"
Tang Xiao felt a sharp pain in his chest, completely out of anger.
If he hadn't still had some sanity left, he would have really wanted to fight the Soul Palace regardless of the consequences.
The Soul Palace was simply going too far. Neither he nor the Haotian Sect had ever suffered such humiliation.
Even when they were forced to close their doors by the Spirit Hall, it was only because they were defeated in a battle.
Although I felt humiliated at that time, I had fought against it after all, and it was definitely not as humiliating as the one I felt today facing Xiao Mu.
But he had to consider the overall situation and could only endure the humiliation of the Soul Palace temporarily.
Zhan Kaishan was brought directly to the gate of the Soul Palace Fortress.
"I'll send you here. You heard what our Palace Master said. If you have nothing to do, don't bother the Palace Master. Of course, even if you come, you won't be able to see the Palace Master."
Tang Xiao slowly turned around and answered word by word:
"I've got that."
Regardless of how much Tang Xiao gritted his teeth when he said this, Zhan Kaishan laughed heartily:
"Very good, just remember it."
After saying that, Zhan Kaishan turned around and left.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are things not going well at the Soul Palace?"
Tang Xiao couldn't remember how he walked out of the fog. His mind was in turmoil, and the words Xiao Mu had said appeared in his mind one after another.
The more he wanted to forget, the clearer it became.
It was not until Tang Hao appeared beside him that he realized he had left the range of the formation.
"Brother, is the Soul Hall disrespecting you? Let's join forces and destroy it, regardless of whether it's the Soul Hall or the Spirit Hall."
Tang Xiao was indeed very angry, but Tang Hao's words, which were clearly fanning the flames, actually calmed him down a lot.
Tang Hao's previous experience is a lesson for me. I must not make the same mistake and must endure it.
"Nothing, it's true that things didn't go smoothly, but it wasn't unexpected either." Tang Xiao managed to calm down and said to Tang Hao:
"By the way, Hao, I have a very serious question for you."
