"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan is gone."
The news spread in all directions at an astonishing speed.
It has been many years since such a major event as the destruction of one of the top three sects has occurred. It can be predicted that the popularity of this matter will remain high for a long time to come.
"It's not all gone. Isn't there still the Hawk Dog Clan, which was built with the remnants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan?"
"You said the Hawk Dog Clan is the successor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan? Yu Yuanzhen would be so angry that he would die."
"He can't survive. Don't forget, Yu Yuanzhen's soul is still in Palace Master Xiao's flag."
"But Yu Luomian can be considered as being close to the Soul Palace, right?"
"…"
Yuexuan.
The atmosphere was very depressing.
The demise of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan dealt a great shock to the Haotian Clan.
They have always looked down on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, and feel that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect is not worthy of being ranked as one of the top three sects alongside the Haotian Sect.
However, after witnessing with their own eyes how easily the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan was destroyed, Tang Xiao and the others still felt a little sympathetic.
"The Soul Palace is too powerful, and too terrifying."
After a long time, the second elder said.
"Yes, the flag in Xiao Mu's hand alone is enough to rival the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, not to mention now that it has absorbed the souls of so many of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's disciples."
"Don't forget, Tang Hao's soul and the souls of the Li clan are also in the flag."
"If I could steal that flag..."
Before the Fourth Elder could finish his words, he was glared at by the Second Elder.
"You don't want to live anymore? Do you want our Haotian Sect to follow the same path as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect?"
The fourth elder laughed awkwardly a few times.
"That's not the case, is it? This is Yuexuan, can anyone from the Soul Palace hear us talking? Even though the Soul Palace is powerful, we in the Haotian Sect are not made of clay. We can't be scared, right?"
"you..."
The second elder wanted to say something, but Tang Xiao raised his hand to stop him.
"Fourth Elder, even though I'm the Sect Master, I wouldn't interfere with your personal words and deeds. But if you continue to talk nonsense outside and bring harm to the entire Haotian Sect, I won't forgive you."
The fourth elder blushed.
Tang Xiao, the sect leader, has always been very respectful to the old elders, but this is the first time he has spoken such harsh words so directly.
The fourth elder was both ashamed and angry, but was also shocked by Tang Xiao.
"I'm not a fool like Yu Yuanzhen, how could I say such things outside?"
Under Tang Xiao's gaze, the Fourth Elder finally took a step back.
"That's good. I believe the elders know their limits."
Tang Xiao nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this time he had managed to maintain the authority of the sect leader.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's incident is over. We, the Haotian Clan, must learn from this and strive to develop. We must not follow in the footsteps of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan. The most important thing for us now is to make money."
After Tang Xiao said this, several elders scratched their heads again.
Ever since they came out of the mountains, they have been trying to make money, but they didn't make much money and suffered considerable losses.
"Um, has the whereabouts of the Seventh Elder been discovered?"
The Sixth Elder asked.
Tang Xiao's face darkened.
The disciples he sent to various places to gather information have returned. It seems that the Min clan has completely disappeared from the world, just like the Haotian Sect before it.
The Yu clan remained the same as usual, as if they were unaware of anything.
The news that Tang Xiao was most concerned about was that the Poyi clan's territory was severely damaged, as if it had been through a great war.
The disciples who went to investigate the situation made repeated inquiries and indeed heard the news that the Poyi Clan had encountered a powerful enemy, and this powerful enemy was most likely the Seventh Elder.
The route the Seventh Elders took to ask for money was first from the Min clan, then the Po clan, and finally the Yu clan.
As a result, he lost his life before he could join the Yu clan.
When the Min clan was visited, they did compromise under the pressure of the Seventh Elder and prepared to collect gold soul coins and take them away when the Seventh Elder returned.
But later, the Seventh Elder did not come, and the Haotian Sect did not send anyone else.
The Min clan also became excited. Instead of swallowing their anger and paying tribute to the Haotian Sect and then serving as dogs for the Haotian Sect, it would be better to slip away and hide from the world completely.
The Min clan didn't believe that the Haotian Sect could find them like this.
As for the Yu clan, they really had no idea about the situation. The Min clan didn't tell them when they escaped, let alone the Po clan.
Before today, Tang Xiao only suspected that the Seventh Elder had been murdered.
However, when witnessing the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan by the Soul Palace, Tang Xiao noticed a person from the Soul Palace in the valley.
Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Pozhi clan.
In fact, Tang Xiao didn't have much impression of Yang Wudi before. After all, when the Haotian Sect closed its doors, the Poyi Clan was defeated and the old clan leader died at the hands of the Spirit Hall. Yang Wudi, who was still the young clan leader, was not worthy of Tang Xiao's attention.
But Tang Xiao recognized Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear. Even if he had forgotten the person, he could still recognize the obvious martial spirit.
Yang Wudi is still alive and has joined the Soul Palace. So, is there any need to guess what will become of the Seventh Elder of the Poyi Clan?
Tang Xiao clearly discovered this, but did not tell the other elders.
But he believed that besides him, other elders must have discovered it, such as the old and cunning Second Elder.
However, like him, other elders who might have discovered Yang Wudi and guessed the fate of the Seventh Elder also pretended not to know.
What else can I do?
Even if they were certain that the Seventh Elder died at the hands of the Soul Palace, could they still attack the Soul Palace and avenge the Seventh Elder?
They didn't want to admit it, but they had to admit that the strength of the Haotian Sect was indeed inferior to that of the Soul Palace.
If I can't get revenge by speaking it out, what purpose will it serve other than damaging the dignity and confidence of the Haotian Sect?
Just make do with it. In life, it's better to be ignorant.
"Let's put aside the fact that the Seventh Elder is missing for now. The success rate of these unconventional ways of making money is too low, and the risks are too great. Let's try to do some legitimate business."
The second elder raised his dim old eyes and said.
Tang Xiao glanced at the Second Elder and knew that this old fellow was also pretending to be confused while knowing the truth.
The other elders looked embarrassed.
They are good at fighting and killing, but can't they do legitimate business?
Tang Xiao remembered something.
"Xiao San did say he wanted to make money making hidden weapons. Maybe he could succeed and make a lot of money."
Tang San did not directly mention the matter of making hidden weapons to Tang Xiao, but when he was talking about it with Tang Yuehua, Tang Xiao heard it.
Tang Yuehua is the local boss of Tiandou City, so Tang San wants Tang Yuehua to help prepare the materials or take him to buy them.
After Tang Hao's death, Tang San's trust in his aunt Tang Yuehua was almost as high as Yu Xiaogang's, and even tended to surpass it.
Tang San didn't know that after he talked about this with Tang Yuehua, it was overheard by Tang Xiao, who had no martial ethics.
And I still think about it now.
"Master, how old is Tang San? What kind of money-making methods can he come up with? It's better to rely on Tang Hao's resurrection than on him."
The fourth elder shook his head.
If Tang San was indeed an ordinary child, Tang Xiao would not believe that Tang San could make a lot of money.
But Tang Xiao always remembered the shadow of an adult that briefly emerged from Tang San's body on the day when the Soul Palace recruited disciples.
Maybe Tang San can really make a hidden weapon that can make money.
That would be great if it were true.
Tang San: "…"
