"Tang Wei, the war between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy together with the Holy Spirit Cult is growing increasingly fierce. Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult have already fallen completely into a disadvantageous position."
"If this continues, it won't be long before the Sun Moon Empire completely defeats Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult."
"And when that happens, it will be your Haotian Empire's turn."
"Are you really planning to keep standing by and doing nothing? Don't forget—right now, the Haotian Empire stands on the same front as Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult."
"If they are defeated by the Sun Moon Empire, the Haotian Empire will definitely not meet a good end either!"
Niu Tian and Titan looked at Tang Wei before them, speaking earnestly and at length in an attempt to persuade him.
Tang Wei exchanged glances with the other two elders beside him. Then, with an unconcerned expression, he looked back at Niu Tian and replied calmly,
"Great Sect Master, there's no need for you and the Second Sect Master to worry about this matter. With the three of us here, we absolutely won't allow anything to happen to the Haotian Empire."
Another elder smiled faintly and added,
"Tang Wei is right. Great Sect Master, don't forget the agreement we made before. From now on, you and the Second Sect Master will be responsible only for Haotian Sect affairs."
"As for the Haotian Empire, we old fellows can still move our bones. We'll handle such trivial matters ourselves."
These three elders—holding the highest status and greatest strength within Haotian Sect—had long since reached a consensus.
They knew very well that Niu Tian and Titan were no ordinary figures, and that their strength far surpassed even that of these Extreme Douluo elders.
But even so, they were absolutely unwilling to allow outsiders to permanently control the highest authority of Haotian Sect—regardless of whether those outsiders had been personally designated by their ancestors.
At the same time, Tang Wei and the others were perfectly aware that, with their own strength, it was impossible to expel Niu Tian and Titan.
Moreover, the existence of Niu Tian and Titan was, in truth, a good thing for Haotian Sect.
If they ever encountered an insurmountable crisis, with Niu Tian and Titan stepping in, Haotian Sect's lineage would never be severed.
However, when the Tang Clan of Haotian Sect sought to expand their ambitions and attempt to replace the Sun Moon Empire as the sole ruler of the Douluo Continent, there was no way they would tolerate Niu Tian and Titan continuing to tower above them.
That was precisely why they had reached an agreement with Niu Tian and Titan.
Haotian Sect affairs would remain as before, handled by the two of them.
But the Haotian Empire—built by the Tang Clan themselves—would absolutely not allow those two to meddle in its governance.
Only by firmly grasping the supreme authority of the Haotian Empire in Tang Clan hands could they truly feel at ease.
Upon hearing the response of the three elders, Titan's expression instantly darkened.
Compared to Xuanzi, Titan did indeed have more brains—but not by much.
He was already extremely displeased with these people who clearly wanted to shake off their control. Now they dared to speak such words right to his face—did they really think he and Niu Tian were just watchdogs for Haotian Sect?
Titan snorted coldly. A terrifying aura erupted from his body as he glared angrily at Tang Wei and the others.
"What do you mean by that? Are you accusing Niu Tian and me of meddling too much? You think Haotian Sect doesn't need us anymore and want to kick us aside?"
"Don't tell me you actually believe that your so-called Haotian Empire alone can deal with today's Sun Moon Empire?"
"A bunch of ignorant fools!"
Titan truly didn't know where these people got such confidence from.
Even he and Niu Tian had to carefully weigh whether to go to all-out war with the Sun Moon Empire.
After all, if they truly provoked Gu Yuena—who was hiding her identity within the Sun Moon Empire—then he and Niu Tian wouldn't even have their lives left.
And yet these Haotian Sect people were arrogant to such an extent.
Things had developed to the point where they didn't even listen to him and Niu Tian anymore.
From the moment Haotian Sect descended from their reclusive sanctuary into the wider Douluo Continent, they had been unstoppable.
This constant success caused everyone in Haotian Sect to gradually swell with pride—even the strongest elders like Tang Wei were no exception.
They felt they had already given Niu Tian and Titan enough respect. At the very least, Haotian Sect affairs were still decided by those two.
But now Titan dared to treat them with such an attitude—did he really think the Tang Clan had no temper at all?
Bang!
Tang Wei slammed the table and stood up abruptly, meeting Titan's gaze without yielding in the slightest.
Coldly, he said,
"Whether the Haotian Empire can defeat the Sun Moon Empire is not something the Second Sect Master needs to worry about. Even if we fail, it's no big deal—our Tang Clan can afford defeat!"
"Ten thousand years ago, when Haotian Sect faced the Spirit Hall, we also suffered defeat."
"So what? In the end, didn't Haotian Sect still have the last laugh? And didn't our great ancestor Tang San emerge—a divine being of unparalleled greatness?"
When Tang San was mentioned, reverent and yearning expressions appeared on the faces of Tang Wei and the other two elders, as if they wished they had lived in the same era, serving that ancestor with absolute loyalty.
Tang Wei's words left Niu Tian and Titan utterly speechless.
They had long known how deeply brainwashed these Haotian Sect people were by Tang San.
But every time they saw those expressions when Tang San was mentioned, they still felt an uncontrollable wave of nausea rise from the depths of their hearts.
These idiots—did they really think Tang San was some kind of saint?
Niu Tian and Titan knew all too well what kind of person Tang San truly was ten thousand years ago!
If these people had been born in that era, Tang San would first have acknowledged them as kin with great courtesy—and once he grew powerful, he would have humiliated them mercilessly.
However, that wasn't the most important issue right now.
Niu Tian and Titan had been closely watching the war between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy together with the Holy Spirit Cult.
Just as Niu Tian had said earlier, under the relentless pressure of the Sun Moon Empire, the situation of Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult was becoming increasingly dire.
Meanwhile, the Haotian Empire had decided from the very beginning to stand aside, coldly watching as the war escalated.
As if they had forgotten the agreements they once made with Mu En, Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao—forgotten that those people were their allies.
Niu Tian was genuinely curious.
Had these people never considered that once the Sun Moon Empire defeated Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult, it would ride the momentum of victory and sweep straight into the Haotian Empire?
Or had the foolish people of Haotian Sect already been blinded by ambition, truly believing that the Haotian Empire was invincible under heaven?
No matter which it was, Niu Tian absolutely did not want to see such a future come to pass.
