"Damn it! The Soul Bone auction is in three days, and Old Seven hasn't sent any news yet."
Yuexuan.
This place has completely changed from a place for cultivating aristocratic etiquette to the stronghold of the Haotian Sect.
"The Li Clan is incredibly poor and can't make much money, so we're counting on the Seventh Elder to bring back good news, but he hasn't sent any news in such a long time."
An elder said:
"Is Old Seven in danger? Otherwise, after all this time, there should be news by now."
"No way? Old Seven is a Titled Douluo after all, and they are just a few affiliated families. Who can threaten him?"
"Could we have run into anyone from the Spirit Hall?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
The Haotian Sect is now in a state of half-coming out of the mountains. Although people have come out, they have not publicized it in a big way because they are afraid of the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall is located between the two empires, so it is not impossible for the Seventh Elder to be discovered.
Listening to the elders talking non-stop, Tang Xiao raised his hand.
"The Seventh Elder has indeed been away for too long. Send a few more disciples to the other three affiliated sects to check on the situation."
"What we need to discuss now is the matter of soul bones. Although our Haotian Sect has a few soul bones passed down from our ancestors, the more soul bones the better. However, our Haotian Sect's financial resources..."
Ultimately, it's a matter of money.
The Li Clan in Tiandou City was the first to be visited by the Haotian Sect.
But the Li clan was really poor. After searching for a long time, they didn't even have 500,000 gold soul coins, which was far from their expectations.
There was no news from the Seventh Elder yet. The total amount of soul coins in the Haotian Sect was enough to buy a few low-level soul-breaking pills, but if one wanted to compete for soul bones, this amount of gold soul coins was far from enough.
The second elder gritted his teeth and said:
"Many forces will be sending people to Tiandou City to participate in the auction. They will definitely bring a lot of gold soul coins with them. If it really doesn't work out, we..."
The second elder was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he made a gesture.
The others immediately understood what the Second Elder meant.
"Isn't highway robbery a bit damaging to the image of the Haotian Sect? After all, as the number one sect, the Haotian Sect would be a disgrace to the heroic spirits of our ancestors by becoming bandits."
Although the Haotian Sect was in decline, they still couldn't let go of the dignity of the world's number one sect and asked the Seventh Elder to ask for money from the Poyi clan because they were once a subsidiary sect of the Haotian Sect.
If they really did something like highway robbery, the Haotian Sect would be completely disgraced.
The Second Elder said, "I just said it casually. What to do next depends on what the Sect Master wants to do."
Everyone's eyes turned to Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao wanted to curse in his heart.
This old gangster proposed an extremely sinister method, then backed down and put all the responsibility on him, the sect leader. He was really not a filial son.
But who made him the clan leader? He still had to make the final decision.
Facing everyone's gaze, Tang Xiao said with a serious face:
"The Second Elder's proposal does have some merit."
The second elder smiled inconspicuously, he knew that the sect leader would make this choice.
"But we can't do it by ourselves." Tang Xiao continued.
"Oh? What does the Sect Master mean?" asked the Second Elder.
Tang Xiao said, "Isn't the Li Clan still idle? While no one knows about the Li Clan's joining the Haotian Sect, it's perfect for them to do this dirty work."
Hearing Tang Xiao say this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Yes, it is only appropriate to let the reckless man of the Li clan do such a hateful thing.
If the truth is revealed in the future, all the crimes can be put on the Li clan, saying that it was entirely the Li clan's own behavior.
"The master is wise."
"The Tai Tan of the Power Clan is a Soul Douluo. He can handle most of the people coming from these forces."
"Although the Tai Tan is powerful, its speed is not fast. We have to be on guard against someone escaping from the interception of the Power Clan. It would be best to have a Titled Douluo in charge." The second elder put forward his opinion at the right time.
As soon as these words were spoken, the other elders all looked on in disbelief, and no one took the initiative to take responsibility.
They are unwilling to take the lead in such a shameful thing.
"Master, what do you mean?"
The second elder asked again.
Tang Xiao really wanted to curse.
This old guy always comes up with bad ideas, but he always has to make the decision.
No matter which elder he assigned, he would offend people.
"None of you need go."
"What? Does the sect leader intend to go there in person? This is absolutely not allowed." The second elder advised.
Tang Xiao said with a dark face, "Of course I won't go."
These old guys all think it's shameful, and as the dignified leader of the Haotian Sect, he would never do such a shameful thing.
"So what you mean is..."
Tang Xiao said, "I will find a Titled Douluo from outside to take charge."
The Titled Douluo outside? The Second Elder's eyes shifted, as if he had thought of something.
That's right, the person Tang Xiao is looking for is Tang Hao.
"Brother, you want me to do something so shameful?"
Ever since the last time Tang Xiao and I separated, the two have been in contact.
When Tang Xiao came to him this time, Tang Hao thought there was something important, but he didn't expect that he was asked to cooperate with the Li clan to do highway robbery.
Doesn't he, the great Haotian Douluo, have any dignity?
Tang Xiao said earnestly, "Ah Hao, even if you don't consider my face, you should consider the face of the ancestors of the Haotian Sect. The Haotian Sect needs your help now."
"Besides, the gorillas of the Power Clan respect you the most, so you are the most suitable person to take charge."
What Tang Xiao didn't say was that when the two brothers were adventuring in Douluo Continent, Tang Hao had done a lot of things to steal other people's benefits and opportunities. He was the right person to be entrusted with this kind of thing.
After listening to Tang Xiao's persuasion, Tang Hao hesitated.
Tang Xiao then added a decisive goal.
"Even if you don't care about the ancestors of the Haotian Sect, what about Tang San? Don't you want him to recognize his ancestors and return to the Haotian Sect?"
"this..."
Tang Hao was a little shaken.
"Xiao San failed to join the Soul Palace, so it is almost impossible for him to obtain the Soul Breaking Pill. But as long as you help the Haotian Sect overcome the current difficult situation, I will devote all my efforts to training him after Xiao San returns to the sect."
Tang Hao was completely persuaded.
"Okay, for the sake of Haotian Sect, even if it damages my dignity, I have to do this."
"Okay, this is my good brother."
Tang Xiao patted Tang Hao's shoulder.
"You made a grave mistake back then, which led to the closure of the Haotian Sect. If you can help the Haotian Sect regain its former glory, it's not impossible for you to be accepted back into the sect."
Although he was expelled from the Haotian Sect, Tang Hao still felt a sense of belonging to the Haotian Sect.
He knew that many people in Haotian Sect were dissatisfied with him, but with Tang Xiao's words, Tang Hao couldn't help but have some hope of returning to Haotian Sect.
"Ah Hao, without further delay, I'll leave it to you to notify the Power Clan."
That's right, even when giving this order to the Li clan, Tang Xiao didn't want to do it through his own mouth.
