The Third Elder, Brought to Tears

Immediately, the Fifth Elder's aura changed abruptly, and with a grab of his right hand, a massive black hammer appeared in his hand.

With the appearance of this giant black hammer, the entire space was filled with terrifying power!

At the same time, a black light shot into the sky, centered on the Fifth Elder, and pierced the horizon!

In an instant, dark clouds surged above the entire Clear Sky Sect, creating an astonishing scene.

Upon seeing the Fifth Elder relay the gathering information, the Third Elder's eyes flickered slightly.

At that moment, a bold idea arose in the Third Elder's mind: to escape.

The precious Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set was lost in his hands, and he, the Third Elder, had to take responsibility for it, but he couldn't bear that responsibility.

"Run, run!"

The Third Elder thought to himself.

With the strength of the Third Elder Titled Douluo, he was confident that he could successfully escape from the Clear Sky Sect!

However, the Third Elder suppressed this terrible thought the moment it arose.

"Run my ass! I'm upright and honest. I didn't steal this Spirit Bone Set, and I'm not afraid of a confrontation!"

"They ran away, but soon they admitted that I stole it!"

"At that time, we will also be hunted down by the elders of our sect, as well as the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Don't run! Don't run!"

After a moment's analysis, the Third Elder immediately abandoned his plan to escape.

Staying is the wise thing to do; if you run away, things will get complicated later!

Therefore, the Third Elder remained where he was, silently waiting for the arrival of the Sect Master and the members of the Elder Council.

Upon seeing the appearance of the dark clouds, all the disciples in the Clear Sky Sect felt a sense of foreboding.

When Tang Xiao, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, saw the soaring black light, he was immediately terrified.

"Something's happened!"

Tang Xiao showed a look of panic, and in a flash, he arrived at the place where the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder were.

It wasn't just Sect Leader Tang Xiao.

The Second Elder, Sixth Elder, and Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect Elder Council all changed their expressions and rushed to the scene of the incident from different directions!

At this moment, the sect leader and five elders of the Clear Sky Sect gathered together, each with an extremely solemn expression.

The atmosphere inside the hall was extremely oppressive and eerie.

If any disciples of the Clear Sky Sect were here, they would surely be terrified by this terrifying atmosphere.

"Fifth Brother, you've called us all over here. Tell me, what happened?"

Sect Master Tang Xiao broke the silence and asked.

"Let the third brother speak!"

"Third brother, the sect leader and other elders are here now. What do you want to explain? Tell us!"

The Fifth Elder looked at the Third Elder and spoke.

At this moment, the sect leader and other elders arrived, and the Fifth Elder breathed a sigh of relief. Now he wouldn't have to face the Third Elder alone!

"Well!"

The Third Elder's expression was extremely complicated; he first sighed.

Immediately, the Third Elder took a deep breath and adjusted himself to his best condition.

"Sect Master, and Second Brother, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, and Seventh Brother, do you believe it?!"

"I personally placed that set of Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set in my storage belt, but when I handed it over to Fifth Brother just now, I found that it had suddenly disappeared!"

"This set of Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set has simply vanished!"

After regaining his composure, the Third Elder recounted what had happened.

"What?!"

"Third brother, this is no child's play. You think the Spirit Bone Set will just disappear like that?"

"Do you know what this means? Our Clear Sky Sect cannot bear this responsibility!"

Sect Master Tang Xiao's two majestic pupils suddenly contracted, and he spoke solemnly.

"Third brother, explain yourself clearly. Are you sure this Spirit Bone Set has disappeared, and that someone else took it?"

The Second Elder, standing to the side, frowned and spoke up.

"Yes, third brother, you'd better not have any ulterior motives. This Spirit Bone Set doesn't just belong to our Clear Sky Sect; it also involves the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. This is a big deal!"

The Sixth Elder also spoke up.

"Third brother, think about it again. This is no joke!"

The Seventh Elder said in a deep voice.

At this moment, the other four elders and Sect Master Tang Xiao surrounded the Third Elder and questioned him together.

Surrounded by five Titled Douluo powerhouses, the Third Elder's expression was extremely grim.

"I really didn't lie to you!"

"If I were to keep this Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set for myself, why would I be foolish enough to wait for you to come and arrest me!"

"Besides, I have no reason to keep this set of Soul Bone for myself. What good would it do me to keep them?"

"I really didn't know!"

"I can guarantee that since I put the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set into my storage belt and came to this hall, no one has touched my backpack!"

"As for why it disappeared, I have no idea either; it's just too unbelievable!"

The Third Elder explained with a sincere expression.

Sect Master Tang Xiao and the other four elders stared at the Third Elder, pondering to themselves.

Just as the Third Elder said, he had no motive for committing the crime.

Moreover, even if the Third Elder had committed the crime of illegally possessing the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set, he would not sit idly by and wait for these people to come and question and arrest him.

"Third brother, are you sure you really put this set of Soul Bone into your storage belt yourself? And that it wasn't switched?"

"Has anyone else touched this set of Soul Bone? Could they have tampered with it?!"

"Third brother," this matter is extremely important, I hope you will think it through carefully, and not be careless!

Sect Master Tang Xiao said calmly.

"My son Tang Tuan, my grandson Tang She, only the three of us—my father, my grandson, and I—have ever touched or seen this Spirit Bone Set!"

"There's no one else here. My son and grandson wouldn't dare to do anything to me in front of me!"

"I'm absolutely certain that I put them all into my storage belt; I didn't make a mistake!"

The Third Elder said with certainty.

"Okay, third brother, I believe you!"

"You've lived within the Clear Sky Sect since you were a child, and now that you've reached the cultivation level of Titled Douluo and are the Third Elder of the Clear Sky Sect Elder Council, there's really no need for you to embezzle the Spirit Bone Set!"

"Third brother, swear on your Martial Soul and your family!"

"Furthermore, I will inquire about your son Tang Tuan and your grandson Tang She!"

"I hope you really don't have any problems!"

Tang Xiao spoke methodically, immediately proposing a solution.

"Alright, thank you for your trust, Sect Master!"

"I swear on my Martial Soul and my family that I have no problem with this!"

"However, don't make things difficult for my son Tang Tuan and grandson Tang She. They don't have the guts or the ability to do anything under my nose!"

"I will cooperate fully with your investigation!"

The Third Elder spoke sincerely and with integrity.

Looking at the Third Elder's sincere appearance, and considering his past contributions to the Clear Sky Sect, he really had no reason to betray the sect and secretly keep the Spirit Bone Set!

The matter suddenly became tricky.

"Okay, I've got your note, Third Brother."

Sect Master Tang Xiao nodded and responded.

Then, Tang Xiao looked at the other elders.

What do you think?

Tang Xiao asked.

Goodnight everyone, have a wonderful day!

Good night, everyone! Good afternoon! Good morning! Have a happy and carefree day! May everything go smoothly for you!
