Tang San Analyzes the Continent's Situation
When people develop negative assumptions and associations about the things around them, they may be able to glimpse many hidden truths.
However, at the same time, various conspiracy theories often emerge.
At this moment, Tang Hao perceived Lin Hai's sudden appearance, his deliberate approach to Ah Yin, Xiao Wu, and even Tang Yuehua, and his attack on Yu Xiaogang as a whole...
This series of events seems like a meticulously crafted, massive conspiracy aimed directly at the father and son.
He had no solid evidence; it was simply because there were too many coincidences in succession, so many that it was impossible not to be suspicious.
"Elders, please share your thoughts," Tang Xiao said solemnly, seated in the main seat.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Elder couldn't help but show a hint of hesitation on his face:
"Sect Master, if we proceed in this manner, it would mean that our Clear Sky Sect will reopen its gates and reappear in the world. Will this... invite Thunder retaliation from the Spirit Hall?"
This same question weighed heavily on the minds of Tang Xiao and the other elders.
Tang Hao had long been expelled from the sect. No matter how much trouble he caused in the outside world, the Clear Sky Sect could remain uninvolved in public opinion. Even if they were worried, they were ultimately kept at a distance.
But once other members of the sect openly get involved, things change completely.
This represents the will and stance of the entire Clear Sky Sect.
Was the Spirit Hall incapable of destroying the Clear Sky Sect back then?
Absolutely not!
Everyone knows that the Clear Sky Sect has survived to this day thanks in large part to the glory of its Tang Chen, and to the little-known agreement between him and Qian Daoliu.
However, times have changed, and the mainland is now rife with undercurrents. How much binding force does that old agreement still hold?
Moreover, if their Clear Sky Sect were to break the agreement first...
"Heh~" In the midst of this heavy silence, a clear chuckle rang out, tinged with disappointment and sarcasm.
The Seventh Elder's brows furrowed immediately, his sharp gaze fixed on the source of the voice. "Boy, what are you laughing at?"
Tang San calmly rose and bowed to those around him, saying, "Uncle, esteemed elders, I apologize for my rudeness."
"But do you all really believe that the Clear Sky Sect can remain safe forever by continuing to stay hidden in these deep mountains?"
"Xiao San, continue." Tang Xiao's voice remained calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Tang San nodded, his gaze sweeping over each elder present who held authority within the sect, and slowly analyzed:
"Elders, how much do you know about the current situation on the mainland?"
No one spoke; they waited for Tang San to continue.
"As far as I know, Lin Hai has extremely close ties with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects," Tang San slowly revealed everything he knew.
"Ning Rongrong, the beloved daughter of Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, is always seen with Lin Hai. This is no secret in Heaven Dou City."
"Furthermore, one of the guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, openly instigated others to ambush and kill me!"
"Now that Xue Ye has passed away unexpectedly, the power of the entire Heaven Dou Empire will inevitably gradually shift and gravitate towards the Spirit Hall."
"Gu Rong even sent people to intercept and kill you?" Tang Xiao frowned, his voice tinged with anger.
Ning Fengzhi, this man, always talks about how "the Upper Three Sects of the same blood and lineage," but when it comes to taking action, he's ruthless!
Tang San nodded and recounted the events of that day in detail.
"According to my teacher Yu Xiaogang, there is only one Titled Douluo with that kind of physical characteristics on the entire continent, and that is Gu Rong."
"The effects of its Soul Skill are also completely consistent with those of the Gu Rong!"
Tang Xiao nodded. "Please continue."
"Let's talk about the Star Luo Empire," Tang San continued.
"His Imperial Prince Dai Mubai, was my classmate at the Shrek Academy. He had a close relationship with Lin Hai and has now returned to the Star Luo Empire."
"With the Crown Prince of Xingluo still undecided, his movements are also worth watching."
He paused, giving the others some time to process his words, and then continued:
"Yu Yuanzhen, the former head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was severely injured by Lin Hai. Now, the position of head of the clan has fallen into the hands of Liu Erlong, the daughter of Yu Luomian."
"And this Liu Erlong is also Lin Hai's confidante. In other words, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is now indirectly controlled by Lin Hai."
"The old balance of power between the 'One Hall, Two Kingdoms, and Three Sects' on the continent has long been shattered. The Spirit Hall's sweeping expansion and unification of the continent is almost irreversible."
"Given this overall trend, can the Clear Sky Sect, by remaining in a corner of the world, truly escape the final reckoning and remain unscathed?"
As the saying goes, "How can one tolerate another's snoring beside one's bed?"
After he finished speaking, the council chamber was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The elders exchanged glances, each seeing the solemnity and fear in the other's eyes.
A barely perceptible hint of relief flashed across Tang Xiao's eyes.
Aside from the relatively new information about Dai Mubai and Gu Rong's ambush, they had all heard about the other things Tang San mentioned to some extent.
However, Lin Hai's identity had only recently been exposed, and Tang Yuehua's sudden disappearance prevented them from connecting these scattered clues into a clear picture.
Now that Tang San has pointed it out, they are horrified to discover that the Clear Sky Sect has reached the edge of a precipice with no way to retreat.
