Chapter 13 War Breaks Out
Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, everyone's expressions grew even more somber.
But Tang Zhen continued, "Whether it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, we will have to pay the price for their reinforcements today. Even the four single-attribute families of the outer sect, we will have to comfort them after the war for the deaths they suffered."
"In the end, our sect's resources will probably be completely exhausted."
At this moment, the Grand Elder spoke up: "Sect Master, our Haotian Sect is the number one sect in the world. Even if we fight to the last man, we will never surrender."
The other elders also spoke up: "Sect Master, our Haotian Sect will definitely fight to the death."
Tang Zhen understood what everyone meant: "Elders, our Haotian Sect will never retreat and will fight to the death."
After everyone had calmed down, Tang Zhen spoke again: "Elder, is there any news about Hao'er?"
"Sect Master, Tang Hao has now broken through to the Title Douluo level and is known as Haotian Douluo. Since we received news that he had left the Haotian Sect, there has been no further news about him."
"Hao'er, Hao'er fought against three opponents single-handedly, and he himself is probably seriously injured. Elder, continue to send people to inquire about Hao'er's whereabouts; we must find Hao'er."
At this moment, a disciple rushed in: "Sect Master, something bad has happened! The Spirit Hall people have arrived outside the sect."
Upon hearing his disciple's report, Tang Zhen and the elders went outside together.
Outside the sect gate stood a dense crowd of Soul Masters, all dressed in white, despite the commemoration of the former Pope Qian Xunji. Judging by the number of Soul Masters, the total number probably exceeded 1, with a very high proportion of high-level Soul Masters.
Just then, a loud voice came from the Spirit Hall camp: "Listen up, people of the Clear Sky Sect! You have one hour to hand over Tang Hao, the murderer of our former Pope, or we will launch an attack and leave no one alive."
Tang Zhen ignored the voice and instead continued speaking to the Grand Elder, "Grand Elder, approximately how long will it take for reinforcements from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, and the Heaven Dou Empire to arrive?"
"Sect Master, based on the fastest possible route, it will take the two major sects at least half a day to arrive, and the army of the Heaven Dou Empire may take another day."
"It seems the Spirit Hall intends to engage us in battle before our reinforcements arrive. Notify all inner disciples and affiliated sects that we are ready for battle at any time."
"Elder, go to the Spirit Hall yourself and tell them that Tang Hao has been expelled from the sect and is no longer with the Clear Sky Sect."
At this moment, Tang Xiao, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke up: "Dad, although Brother Hao has made a big mistake, the Spirit Hall is obviously targeting us on purpose. Moreover, their spirit master army arrived so quickly, which clearly indicates that it was premeditated."
The Grand Elder spoke up again: "Sect Master, the Spirit Hall's ability to gather so many Soul Masters in such a short time clearly indicates that they were prepared to deal with us."
Tang Zhen shook his head gravely: "How could I not know they were using this as an excuse to cause trouble? But no matter what, Tang Hao did kill their Pope, and no one can say anything about them coming for revenge. Elder, you go and negotiate first, and see if they can come up with any other conditions."
Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, the Grand Elder quickly flew towards the Spirit Hall's army.
However, less than ten minutes later, the Grand Elder flew back: "Sect Master, the Spirit Hall is adamant, refusing to accept any other conditions. They only demand that we hand over Tang Hao, or they will start a war." "It seems the Spirit Hall is determined to deal with us. Notify everyone to prepare for battle. Also, have the Min Clan inform the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, asking their sect masters to come as soon as possible."
The First Elder hesitated, "Sect Master, the Min Clan is probably unable to escape now. The Spirit Hall has completely surrounded us."
"It seems the Spirit Hall planned everything long ago, determined to destroy or severely damage our Clear Sky Sect. Elder, arrange for the children of our Clear Sky Sect to retreat back to our ancestral land first."
"Sect Master, although the ancestral land has a treacherous terrain, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop their Soul Master legion."
"You can rest assured about that. My father, Tang Chen, had an agreement with Qian Daoliu that no one from the Spirit Hall was allowed to set foot on the ancestral land of my Clear Sky Sect before the two of them had settled their differences."
"But the old sect leader has been missing for many years. Will the Spirit Hall keep its promise?"
"Although my father has disappeared, he is not dead. Moreover, Qian Daoliu is a man who always values his reputation and would never break his promise."
Upon hearing these words, everyone began to take action.
Meanwhile, outside the Haotian Sect, the patriarchs of the four single-attribute families were gathered together, all looking extremely tense, as they were facing twice as many enemies.
At this moment, a disciple came to deliver a message. Baihe took the message, glanced at it, and immediately handed it to the others.
Upon seeing the message, Yang Wudi immediately declared, "Our four families have always been protected by the Haotian Sect. Now that the sect has made its decision, my clan will fight to the death."
Upon seeing the message, the other three also declared their determination to fight to the death with the full strength of their clan. Immediately afterwards, all four returned to their clan's territory, ready for battle at any moment.
Just as Tang Zhen said, the Spirit Hall had indeed prepared meticulously this time. Whether it was releasing the news of Qian Xunji's death or declaring war on the Clear Sky Sect, every step was coordinated very cleverly, giving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School no time to react. Otherwise, with the combined forces of the three factions plus the army of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall probably wouldn't have gained any advantage.
The three upper sects have a very deep foundation. Combined, they probably have around nine to ten thousand soul masters, which is enough to rival the Spirit Hall.
However, the Spirit Hall suddenly launched a war this time, and the three families have already missed the initiative. Each sect has nearly 20% of its disciples on business outside, which is why the situation is so tense.
An hour later, the Spirit Hall ignored all of the Clear Sky Sect's conditions and did not accept the Clear Sky Sect's reason for expelling Tang Hao from the sect, and launched an attack directly.
The Spirit Hall was clearly well-prepared. It mainly deployed a portion of its forces to contain the four single-attribute families in the outer sect. The two thousand soul masters of the four single-attribute families had to deal with approximately three thousand soul masters from the Spirit Hall.
Instead, the Spirit Hall concentrated more forces to directly attack the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate. As a result, the Clear Sky Sect's two thousand inner disciples had to face seven thousand spirit masters. Almost every disciple had to face three to four spirit masters, and they were completely overwhelmed in terms of numbers.
The Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate was meticulously crafted by the Yu Clan, but it offered little defensive capability against seven or eight thousand Soul Masters. This was especially true given the Spirit Hall's large number of high-level Soul Masters, including many Title Douluos.
