What the Heck
Upon hearing the words of the two Clan Leader, Niu Gao and Yang Wudi, Tang Xiao's expression immediately darkened.
As the leader of a sect, being treated so unwelcome made Tang Xiao lose his temper.
However, Tang Xiao quickly suppressed his rising anger and tried to calm his expression.
"It was indeed our fault as the superior sect that we did not have time to settle your Four Great Families back then."
"But the real culprit is still the Spirit Hall!"
"If the Spirit Hall hadn't been deliberately targeting us, our Clear Sky Sect wouldn't have gone into seclusion, and your Four Great Families wouldn't have been targeted!"
Tang Xiao tried to speak in a gentle tone, but his words implied that he wanted to provoke the Spirit Hall!
Then, Tang Xiao continued:
"Back then, the Clear Sky Sect was weak, and there was nothing that could be done about it."
"But now, including myself, there are five elders in the Clear Sky Sect, making a total of six Titled Douluo powerhouses!"
"If your Four Great Families were to return to the Clear Sky Sect!"
"I believe that our Clear Sky Sect will soon be reborn!"
"Come on, come back!"
This time, Tang Xiao mentioned the current strength and foundation of the Clear Sky Sect to enhance the persuasiveness of his words.
When the four Clan Leader, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He, and Tai Tan, heard that the Clear Sky Sect actually had six Titled Douluo powerhouses, their expressions darkened.
They didn't expect that in recent years, the Clear Sky Sect, which appeared to be living in seclusion, was actually biding its time and accumulating strength.
The four Clan Leader believed that if the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set had not been lost, the Clear Sky Sect would indeed have had a chance to emerge again after some time.
However, given the Soul Bone, the Clear Sky Sect will most likely have no choice but to continue to cower in fear!
"Hehe, no need!"
"Your Clear Sky Sect's strength is your business, it has nothing to do with us!"
Tai Tan shook his head, directly refusing.
They have all sworn an oath with their Martial Soul to become Du Bai's subordinates and have received five million Gold Soul Coin from Du Bai, their hearts now with Du Bai!
As for the Clear Sky Sect, it's just talk. If the Four Great Families were to return to the Clear Sky Sect, they would not only receive no Gold Soul Coin, but they would also have to serve the Clear Sky Sect like sons serving their fathers.
The four Clan Leader are not stupid; they know who is good and who is bad, and they can distinguish between what is important and what is not.
"If my information is correct, your Clear Sky Sect just lost that priceless Spirit Bone Set, right?"
"Now the Clear Sky Sect has offended more than just the Spirit Hall; even the other two major sects of the Upper Three Sects and the Heaven Dou Empire have grudges against you!"
"Sect Master Tang Xiao, what do you mean by asking our Four Great Families to submit to the Clear Sky Sect again?"
"Do you want our Four Great Families to take the blame and share the burden?"
"We're not three-year-olds who can be easily fooled by you!"
Old Goat Yang Wudi glared at Tang Xiao.
When he spoke, his entire goatee stood on end, clearly indicating that he was very angry.
"They don't think of us when things are going well, but they suddenly remember us when they're in trouble!"
"We're already old and frail, do you really want to be used and tormented by us?"
The Old Bird, the Bai He, glared angrily.
"Hmph, what good would it do us to return to the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Will you give each of our families five million Gold Soul Coin?"
Old Ox Niu Gao raised his head and glared at Tang Xiao through his nostrils.
The rebuttals from the four Clan Leader left Tang Xiao speechless, and his face turned extremely ugly.
Tang Yuehua, standing to the side, also looked unpleasant and extremely uncomfortable.
However, Tang Yuehua remained silent and showed no intention of speaking.
The Clear Sky Sect has indeed made mistakes in dealing with the affairs of the Four Great Families, and its foundation is not as strong as before!
The Clear Sky Sect's desire to reclaim the Four Great Families is nothing more than an attempt to squeeze out the last bit of value from them in order to alleviate the Clear Sky Sect's depleted resources.
Tang Yuehua knew this, and because of the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set, she was disappointed in the Clan Leader.
Tang Yuehua no longer wanted to get involved in managing the clan's interests.
Therefore, Tang Yuehua remained silent and did not intend to speak.
At this moment, Tang Xiao's face was grim, and his expression was extremely unpleasant.
The rebuttals from the four Clan Leader leaders left him speechless.
To be honest, although the Clear Sky Sect has six Titled Douluo, its foundation is not as strong as before and it is on the decline.
Moreover, Niu Gao offered five million Gold Soul Coin, which was an astronomical sum for the Clear Sky Sect!
Let alone five million Gold Soul Coin, even five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin would be beyond the Clear Sky Sect.
Even the 50,000 Gold Soul Coin would be a painful expense for him, as the sect leader.
"This..."
"Our Clear Sky Sect just participated in the auction and paid a large sum of Gold Soul Coin in compensation for the Soul Bone."
"Our Clear Sky Sect cannot currently afford five million Gold Soul Coin to make up for the mistakes Clear Sky Sect back then..."
Tang Xiao tried to speak in a gentle tone.
"Oh, then what the hell are you talking about!"
"You can't even come up with five million Gold Soul Coin? Your Clear Sky Sect is really not what it used to be!"
Niu Gao curled his lip and said disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao's expression darkened again, and a shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, Tang Xiao really wanted to end this conversation!
However, Tang Xiao thought again, since he was already here, he might as well calm down and have a proper exchange and communication.
"Our Clear Sky Sect is indeed facing difficulties right now!"
"If the four Clan Leader are willing to return to the Clear Sky Sect, we are willing to appoint them as the second-ranking Clan Leader of the Clear Sky Sect!"
"The Second Elder's status in the Clear Sky Sect is second only to the five Titled Douluo Chief Elders!"
"With four Clan Leader standing with our Clear Sky Sect through thick and thin, your clan will definitely reap the benefits in the future!"
Tang Xiao spoke up, extending an olive branch once again.
"Second Elder? What use is that?"
"Your Clear Sky Sect has been keeping its doors closed and its strength greatly diminished. What use is this title to you?"
"We want nothing to do with your Clear Sky Sect anymore!"
"Second Elder, we have no interest!"
"Please leave!"
Old Titan shook his head and repeatedly refused, even giving them the order to leave.
"Yes, can the position of Second Elder be eaten?"
"You wish! Do you expect us, the Four Great Families, to serve you for free again?"
"Hehe, I don't want your five hundred Gold Soul Coin!"
"You can surely come up with 500,000 Gold Soul Coin, right?"
"Give us 500,000 Gold Soul Coin each, and we'll seriously consider whether or not to submit to the Clear Sky Sect again!"
Old Ox Niu Gao interjected, mentioning the Gold Soul Coin once again!
Without comparison, there is no harm; the Clear Sky Sect is not even willing to part with half a Gold Soul Coin.
This greatly disappointed the four Clan Leader, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He, and Tai Tan.
When Tang Xiao heard Clan Leader Niu Gao demand 500,000 Gold Soul Coin, he felt a headache coming on.
The Clear Sky Sect is extremely poor right now, how could they possibly give them 500,000 Gold Soul Coin!
