When the Clear Sky Sect descended to the mountain foot, they were in a sorry state.
If it weren't for Tang Xiao's decisive action, they would have lost at least thirty percent of their members before coming down.
At this moment, Ghost and Yue Guan were already waiting for them. When the two sides met, their eyes turned red with rage.
"Kill!"
Without hesitation or any communication, both sides engaged in a fierce battle.
Five thousand against a few hundred, there was no need to guess who had the advantage.
A few elders exchanged glances with Tang Xiao, who immediately understood. He stopped fighting and, under the protection of the elders, fled with the future hopes of the sect.
A ninety-seven-level titled Douluo who was determined to escape could hardly be stopped.
"Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect will never forget this day of humiliation. One day, we will return!" Tang Xiao left these words behind and fled without looking back. As for the elders and Tang Hao, they chose to fight to the end.
Time passed, and the dust settled.
Except for Tang Xiao and a few children who managed to escape, everyone else from the Clear Sky Sect had fallen in battle, including the once "invincible" Tang Hao.
The Shura God, who was currently preoccupied with his own severed arm, paid no attention to Tang Hao, and his death was inevitable.
On the Spirit Hall's side, the losses were severe. Two titled Douluos had fallen.
But compared to their gains, these losses were worth it. As for the five thousand Spirit Hall disciples, their losses were not significant, as they had almost traded one for one with the Clear Sky Sect members.
"Tang Hao, the once Clear Sky Douluo, has finally fallen." Yue Guan looked at Tang Hao's body and sighed.
Tang Hao had a full set of spirit bones, and even after his death, four of them had dropped.
By now, Tang Hao's body was unrecognizable, and he had been dismembered.
As old rivals, it was natural for Yue Guan to sigh at the sight.
"Tang Hao's strength was undeniable. Even at seventy-nine levels, he had unleashed the power of a titled Douluo. Unfortunately, such a prodigy was always our enemy."
"But luckily, we came with overwhelming force this time. If we had brought fewer titled Douluos, we might have been the ones who fell."
Yes, no one had expected that the old members of the Clear Sky Sect would have five who had broken through to the titled Douluo level, and with their combined battle formations, they had become a formidable force.
If it weren't for Yue Guan and Ghost's spirit fusion technique, these five might have carved another path of blood.
Fortunately, with the sacrifice of two titled Douluo, these five old men were sent to their graves.
"Tang Xiao has escaped..." This was a matter worth pondering.
The sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect had fled, which meant the sect was not completely destroyed.
But Tang Xiao's strength was something they had witnessed before.
Even when he was on the verge of collapse, he had somehow burst forth with an aura that suppressed four titled Douluos.
"Continue the pursuit of Tang Xiao. Return and report this to the Pope!" Even if they had to let some fish slip through the net, they would catch them, boil them, and make soup out of them.
"Yes!" With Bibi Dong personally leading the pursuit of Tang Xiao, it would be foolproof.
Although the Clear Sky Sect had not been completely annihilated, it was as good as destroyed.
Tang Xiao's first thought was to seek support from the four subordinate forces.
With their backing, rebuilding the Clear Sky Sect would be much easier.
He took a few children with eyes that were either blank or bloodshot and headed towards the Power Clan's territory.
For now, he could only rely on the four subordinate clans.
No, it should be the three subordinate clans.
The Strength Clan had already been destroyed by that Tang San. At the thought of this, Tang Xiao felt a pang of pain.
The news of the Clear Sky Sect's "destruction" quickly spread throughout the Douluo Continent.
No one could have imagined that the once number one sect in the world would fall so quickly.
Even more shocking was that the Spirit Hall had used a poisonous scheme to force the Clear Sky Sect into a decisive battle. For a time, everyone condemned the Spirit Hall.
After this incident, anyone who set up their sect or family on a mountain would be considered a fool.
With the Spirit Hall leading the way, there was no need to worry about anyone being the second to be criticized.
Of course, there were no more sects or family forces left.
They either submitted to the Spirit Hall or relied on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Those who still held on didn't know how long they could last once the Spirit Hall had the time to deal with them.
Among them, the three subordinate families of the Clear Sky Sect were among those who still held on.
Due to the Spirit Hall's actions, their clans had suffered heavy casualties.
They would rather die than join the Spirit Hall. As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, when they were under the Clear Sky Sect, they had looked down on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
How could they become a subordinate family of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect now?
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had invited them before, but they had been rejected.
"Old Yang, Old Bai, what do we do now?"
After the Strength Clan's destruction, the three families had united and formed a new force. They had taken in the orphaned Tai Long from the Strength Clan and assigned him many maids, clearly intending to rebuild the clan.
To rebuild the Strength Clan, they had to start with the population. If Tai Long worked hard and his descendants worked even harder, the Strength Clan would be restored within a century.
Tai Long was extremely grateful for this. Compared to his fake master and young master, these grandfathers were much more reliable.
Because of the Strength Clan's incident, everyone harbored deep hatred for the Clear Sky Sect. Now that the Clear Sky Sect had "fallen," it was both a good and bad thing for them.
When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. Now, the tall ones were dead.
At these words, the two clan leaders fell into deep thought. If they didn't want to die, their only options were to join the Spirit Hall or the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Once the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect fell, it would be their turn.
Perhaps they wouldn't even have to wait that long before the reckoning came early, which was why they were discussing this matter here.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Bai He said, "What if we join the Star Luo Empire or the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Joining the two great empires wasn't a bad idea.
They had three Soul Sage-level combatants and many clan members, which would be a significant addition.
For the empires, this would be a good thing. But could they really endure the empires' constraints?
"The Heaven Dou Empire is one of the culprits behind Old Gorilla's death. We cannot join the Heaven Dou Empire."
Indeed, although Tai Long's death was due to Tang Hao, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had also played a part.
If they joined the Heaven Dou Empire, what would Old Gorilla think of them in the afterlife? So, they could only go to the Star Luo Empire.
