Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

Those disciples who supported Tang Hao remained silent. Tang Xiao wanted to argue, but given the current situation, even if he spoke, it wouldn't change anything. Tang Yuehua wanted to speak up for Tang Hao, after all, Tang Hao was her own brother who had always taken good care of her since childhood. No matter what, she had to speak up for Tang Hao and support him.

But before he could speak, Di Hong glanced at her.

Then she saw Di Hong shake his head slightly.

Just as she was about to say something, a powerful aura belonging to a Title Douluo suddenly spread out, and the chaotic hall immediately quieted down again. Everyone, including the five elders, looked at Di Hong.

At this moment, Di Hong walked to the center of the hall and bowed to Tang Wei, who was in the main seat, and the five elders.

“Father-in-law, elders, please hear what Hong has to say.”

"Speak," the Second Elder said slowly.

Di Hong said, "Everyone, the current situation is no longer about whether to expel Second Brother from the sect, but about how to deal with the Spirit Hall."

“We’re discussing this right now. Expelling Tang Hao from the sect and removing him from the Clear Sky Sect would be a way to give the Spirit Hall an explanation,” Tang Lie said.

Di Hong shook his head: "Seventh Elder, if it were that simple, things would be much easier, and we wouldn't need to discuss this here."

"I'm sure you know better than I do that the Spirit Hall won't let the Clear Sky Sect off so easily. This is a rare opportunity to suppress the Clear Sky Sect."

"However, the Spirit Hall is wary of the Clear Sky Sect, especially since they are unsure of the Clear Sky Sect's exact strength. Therefore, they dare not act rashly, fearing that they might anger the Clear Sky Sect and cause huge losses to the Spirit Hall."

"Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone the Haotian Sect, which is not a rabbit but a fierce tiger."

"If you push a tiger too far, it could be fatal. The Spirit Hall cannot afford to go to war with the Clear Sky Sect at such a high cost."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" the Second Elder asked.

Di Hong said, "In my opinion, we should first capture Tang Hao and that Ah Yin and bring them back to the Clear Sky Sect. Then, we should unite with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to put on a show of an alliance against the Spirit Hall, so that the Spirit Hall will not dare to act rashly."

"What does Qian Xunji want? Does he want Tang Hao?"

"I don't think so. They haven't really made up their minds to break ties with the Haotian Sect."

"What they want is that Ah Yin, that is, that 100,000-year-old soul beast."

"To be selfish, it's worth it to exchange Ah Yin for the resolution of the Haotian Sect's crisis, though this can only be a temporary solution."

Di Hong knew that the Clear Sky Sect had always been one of the biggest threats to the Spirit Hall, and they would not let the Clear Sky Sect off easily, so he could only say that he had resolved the crisis temporarily.

After some deliberation, the elders decided that this was a feasible plan. By uniting the two major sects to jointly resist the Spirit Hall, they could make the Spirit Hall hesitant to act. If they could delay the attack for a few years, and then find Tang Hao and hand over Ah Yin, the Spirit Hall would have no reason to take action against them.

At that time, all that's needed is for Tang Hao and Tang Xiao to fully mature. With two Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect and three Title Douluo from Di Hong, even if the Spirit Hall wanted to, it would have to consider the price it would have to pay.

Tang Xiao looked at Di Hong with some surprise and some anger.

He approved of the plan for Emperor Hong to unite the two major sects, but he absolutely disagreed with handing over Ah Yin. They could not use this method to exchange for peace; it would only highlight their incompetence, even if Ah Yin was a soul beast.

He approved of Tang Hao's actions and believed that Tang Hao was not wrong.

If it were him, he would have done the same.

So what if Ah Yin is a 100,000-year-old soul beast?

Tang Wei thought for a moment, stood up and was about to say something when he suddenly couldn't catch his breath. His cane slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. His eyes rolled back and he fell straight down.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Di Hong, the elders, Tang Xiao, and Tang Yuehua were the first to react.

Di Hong flashed to Tang Wei's side, then squatted down and pressed several acupoints on him before injecting soul power into him.

Several elders also gathered around, and Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua looked on anxiously.

Seeing Tang Wei's condition, Di Hong sighed and stood up.

"How is it?" Tang Yuehua asked hurriedly.

Di Hong shook his head: "Be prepared, my father-in-law probably won't make it through the night."

Tang Xiao's pupils constricted, and he staggered back a few steps, almost losing his balance, before collapsing to his knees. Tang Yuehua covered her mouth and burst into tears, and all the elders wore expressions of sorrow.

Di Yuan lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes. He understood what his father meant; his maternal grandfather was about to leave him forever.

The group carried Tang Wei back to his room.

After a short while, Tang Wei slowly opened his eyes, but he was already breathing in but not out.

He also knew that his time was up.

So without further ado, he immediately began to give instructions for his final affairs.

He pointed at Tang Xiao, his tone strained: "You are not ambitious enough, but you are good at maintaining the status quo. With the assistance of the elders, you will surely be able to safeguard the foundation of the Haotian Sect. After my death, you will be the next sect leader of the Haotian Sect."

"Father." Tang Xiao knelt on the ground in sorrow, tears streaming down his face.

Tang Wei continued, "Contact the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to jointly resist the Spirit Hall. If all else fails, retreat with your sect."

Then he looked at Di Hong.

"After I die, you must find Hao'er and bring them back. Even if you die, you can't let him die out there."

"Yes." Di Hong bowed respectfully with a solemn expression.

Tang Wei wanted to say something more, but he felt he couldn't say anything more.

How he longed to see his Hao'er again!

His hand had just been raised, but it immediately fell back down.

Chapter 136: Roaring Sky Douluo

Chapter 136 Howling Sky Douluo

Tang Wei passed away, leaving this world with regrets and resentment.

His regret was that he did not see his second son before he died, and his resentment was that the Haotian Sect had come to this end under his leadership. He could only place his hopes for the future of the Haotian Sect on his descendants.

Tang Wei's death coincided with the Elite Soul Master Tournament, so it didn't cause too much of a stir, since most Soul Masters were focused on the tournament.

The first Elite Tournament is in full swing, with young Soul Masters from all over the world engaging in fierce competition.

Tang Wei's funeral did not invite too many powerful forces. Apart from the forces affiliated with the Haotian Sect, there were only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Sect Master Ning Fengzhi brought his wife and children to pay their respects. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sent their second patriarch, Yu Luomian. The Kingdom of Silves also sent people. Upon learning of their in-laws' passing, Di Yuan and Shen Ning came to offer their condolences. Even the Spirit Hall sent people.

The Heavenly Dou Empire is still ruled by Prince Xue Xing.

In the mourning hall, Tang Yuehua and Tang Xiao knelt in mourning clothes, surrounded by disciples of the Haotian Sect. The entire Haotian Sect was immersed in a sorrowful atmosphere. The sect leader's death was undoubtedly a major blow to them.

After bowing to Tang Wei's coffin, Ning Fengzhi offered his condolences to Tang Xiao and the others.

After leaving the mourning hall, he did not leave immediately.

Di Hong maintained order outside the mourning hall to prevent anyone from causing trouble. Haotian Sect had many affiliated forces, but not all of them were loyal to Haotian Sect. After Tang Wei's death, some forces that were originally affiliated with Haotian Sect began to stir.

After all, Tang Wei had passed away, and the relationship between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall was tense. Although they came to pay their respects, it did not mean that the relationship between the two would ease. Therefore, some forces began to have the idea of ​​breaking away from the Clear Sky Sect.

Of course, while some want to leave, others remain loyal. The four major clans remain loyal to the Haotian Sect. Although there is some crisis now, they have enjoyed the protection of the Haotian Sect for so many years. If they were to leave now, they would be no different from beasts.

Moreover, the Haotian Sect is not lacking in powerful individuals.

The Spirit Hall is unlikely to resort to force easily.

Arriving beside Di Hong, Ning Fengzhi looked at the mourning hall and sighed.

"With the passing of Sect Master Tang, the Spirit Hall will certainly not let go of this opportunity to suppress the Clear Sky Sect."

Di Hong shook his head: "There's nothing we can do but take it one step at a time."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will stand with the Clear Sky School to jointly defend against the Spirit Hall." Ning Fengzhi made his promise. With the assistance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, plus the combat power of the Clear Sky School, the Spirit Hall would have to think twice.

He also knew that the three upper sects had to unite to fight against the Spirit Hall; otherwise, a single sect would not be enough to contend with the Spirit Hall.

Di Hong nodded. The future path of Haotian Sect was not up to him, but to Haotian Sect itself. He was just a son-in-law and could not decide the internal affairs of Haotian Sect; he could only offer suggestions.

"What are the Clear Sky Sect's plans to do with Tang Hao?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"I don't know," Di Hong said. "But since he hasn't been expelled, it means that Haotian Sect still wants to protect him, even though the elders advocate expelling him from the sect."

"As for what the future holds, that depends on you, elder brother."

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Tang Xiao and had a general idea of ​​what was going on. Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had a close relationship, and Tang Xiao was the eldest brother who took good care of his siblings. He would definitely not see Tang Hao being expelled from the sect.

Moreover, the turmoil is gradually subsiding, and the Spirit Hall has not made any grand announcements or attacked the Clear Sky Sect.

Of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon.

Afterwards, Ning Fengzhi asked a few more questions about Tang Hao, but Di Hong said he didn't know the answers because he genuinely didn't know; he didn't even know where Tang Hao was right now.

After the funeral, the mourners left, and Di Hong sent Ning Fengzhi back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School before returning to the Haotian School.

After Tang Wei's funeral, Tang Xiao became the new sect leader of Haotian Sect. Di Hong has been busy these past few days, trying to appease Tang Yuehua and those forces. Not only is he busy, but the entire Haotian Sect is busy.

For Tang Xiao, his most pressing task was not dealing with sect affairs, but rather acquiring his ninth spirit ring as soon as possible.

It is necessary to let external forces know that although the former sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect has passed away, the new sect leader is also a titled Douluo. This will help to stabilize people's hearts and minds.

So, a month after the funeral, Di Hong and Tang Xiao set off to obtain the ninth soul ring, while the elders took charge of the sect's affairs.

They quickly hunted down the spirit beast. Tang Xiao's ninth spirit ring was from a 90,000-year-old spirit beast. Although it was not 100,000 years old, it was already very good. After all, the sect was in a critical situation and could not spare the time to find a 100,000-year-old spirit beast.

After Tang Xiao returned, the Clear Sky Sect immediately spread the news that Tang Xiao had become a Title Douluo, and also spread the news of Tang Xiao's title.

They originally wanted Tang Xiao to inherit the title of Haotian, but Tang Xiao refused. He believed that he was not qualified to inherit the title because the previous Haotian Douluo was their grandfather, and only a powerful sect leader of the Haotian Sect was qualified to use this title.
