Three Single-Attribute Clans Issue Joint Declaration, Break with Clear Sky Sect, Pledge Allegiance to Spirit Hall

The Strength Clan had deep ties with the Clear Sky Sect and had served as its servants for generations.

Yet now they had met such a miserable end—the entire clan slaughtered, leaving not even bones behind!

"How... how could this be..."

Seventh Elder Tang Lie hesitated before speaking.

"A few days ago, I sent people to secretly contact the Four Single-Attribute Clans. Tai Tan immediately stated that the Strength Clan was willing to continue serving the sect."

"The other three clans were also considering it. How could something have happened at such a critical moment?"

The other elders all drew deep breaths.

With this, the culprit seemed to have been directly pinned on Spirit Hall.

Third Elder's gaze sharpened.

"The Strength Clan has already met with disaster. What about the other three great single-attribute clans?"

Tang Lie continued.

"A few days ago, the Four Single-Attribute Clans held a meeting of the four clans in Dragon Rise City of the Star Luo Empire. That is all the intelligence we have..."

"I... I believed their return to the sect was already a certainty, so I did not continue sending people to watch them..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao's expression darkened further. If Spirit Hall had struck the Four Single-Attribute Clans at the same time, they would have had no chance of resisting.

Moreover, this was an enormous loss for the Clear Sky Sect.

He let out a soft sigh.

"The contents of the letter are brief. Perhaps we must personally send someone to Heaven Dou City to learn the specific details."

Tang Lie immediately volunteered.

"I will personally go to Heaven Dou City and investigate this matter thoroughly!"

A flicker of surprise crossed Tang Xiao and the other elders' faces, but in the end, they all nodded.

The Clear Sky Sect had secluded itself from the world for many years, yet it was returning to the continent in such a manner.

It was truly lamentable.

Deep within the Papal Palace of Spirit City, in a quiet chamber.

"Reporting to Your Holiness the Pope!"

Two figures silently appeared in the shadows at the entrance to the quiet chamber and dropped to one knee.

They were Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, who had just returned from bloody slaughter.

"The Strength Clan has been completely exterminated according to Your Holiness's edict. Not even chickens or dogs were spared."

Yue Guan's sharp, clear voice carried a trace of satisfaction from completing his task.

"Heaven Dou City must be in utter chaos by now."

Ye Xian merely gave an almost imperceptible nod. His icy voice echoed through the quiet chamber.

"Well done. Withdraw."

"Yes!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei accepted the order and slowly retreated from the quiet chamber.

The chamber returned to dead silence, broken only by the faint flowing glow of Ice Crystal.

Yet that silence did not last long.

A soft but slightly urgent golden light tore through the chill outside the hall, and Qian Renxue appeared at the entrance to the quiet chamber.

A travel-worn solemnity lay upon her exquisite face. Her golden eyes turned toward Ye Xian as she quickly stepped forward.

"Your Holiness!"

Ye Xian finally raised his eyes, his icy-blue gaze falling upon her.

"The preliminary coordination with the Three Single-Attribute Clans has been completed. They have already issued a Joint Declaration to the outside world, announcing their break with the Clear Sky Sect."

At those words, Ye Xian nodded in great satisfaction.

He wondered what expression the Clear Sky Sect would wear upon hearing this news.

"Niu Gao and Yang Wudi have begun receiving the resources. Bai He still has some concerns."

Qian Renxue spoke a little faster, clearly having brought back important information.

"During the coordination process, he privately revealed an extremely crucial clue to me."

She drew a deep breath and said word by word,

"Bai He was one of the Clear Sky Sect's core elders responsible for external communications back then. When the Clear Sky Sect abandoned the four clans, he once found the sect's location alone and sought protection, but he was refused."

"Oh?"

Ye Xian's eyes flashed at once.

Just as he had expected, someone among these three great clans indeed knew the location of the Clear Sky Sect.

His efforts had not been in vain.

The value of this intelligence far exceeded that of subduing the three clans themselves.

At that moment, Qian Renxue's voice sounded again.

"This is the source of Bai He's greatest fear right now. He fears that the Clear Sky Sect will retaliate against him and his clansmen."

Ye Xian's brows furrowed slightly, as though he had suddenly thought of something.

"Where is Bai He now?"

"When I left Dragon Rise City, the Speed Clan and the Breaking Clan had already decided to relocate their entire clans to Dragon Rise City and join the Defense Clan."

"Bai He has most likely already returned to the Speed Clan to gather his people."

"Not good..."

Ye Xian's gaze turned cold. Given the Clear Sky Sect's nature, there was no telling whether they might launch a sneak attack at such a moment.

"Bai He is in danger. Come with me!"

Before his words had even faded, Ye Xian's figure transformed into a deep-blue streak that tore through space and shot out of the quiet chamber in an instant.

He was so fast that a lingering Ice Crystal afterimage and bone-piercing chill remained where he had stood.

Qian Renxue's golden eyes sharpened, and the Six Winged Archangel martial soul behind her instantly unfurled.

Pure, sacred golden light erupted, transforming into a golden meteor as she pursued the ice-blue trail cutting across the sky with all her strength.

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, accompany me."

Ye Xian's cold voice was like an Edict, branding itself directly into the souls of the two men who had only just withdrawn.

"By your command!"

From the shadows, Yue Guan and Gui Mei did not hesitate in the slightest. They instantly became one golden and one black streak of light, chasing after Ye Xian.

The declaration jointly issued by the Three Single-Attribute Clans was like a hurricane carrying shards of ice, sweeping across the entire Douluo Continent from Dragon Rise City at astonishing speed.

The declaration was brief, but every word was as sharp as a blade, firm and decisive:

The Clear Sky Sect was unjust and abandoned us first. His Holiness Ye Xian of Spirit Hall possesses boundless divine might and radiant benevolence, granting our three clans new life!

From this day forth, the Defense, Breaking, and Speed Clans swear allegiance to Spirit Hall unto death, severing all grace and righteousness and completely breaking with the Clear Sky Sect!

At the bottom were the names of the three Clan Leaders: Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, and Bai He.

The entire Clear Sky Sect was shaken upon receiving the news.

They had still been worrying about the safety of the other three clans. Who could have expected that they had already pledged allegiance to Spirit Hall?

Inside the conference hall, Sect Master Tang Xiao's face was as dark as water, his eyes surging with stormy waves and towering rage.

The four elders sat around him, each with bristling beards and hair, their eyes bloodshot.

Tang Lie had only just left the sect for Heaven Dou City to investigate the details of the Strength Clan's destruction.

Yet instead of waiting for news from Tang Lie, they received this declaration.

"Traitors! A pack of ungrateful wretches! Shameless traitors!"

Second Elder Tang Ming's beard and hair bristled as he slammed the table and roared. Spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across the hard stone tabletop.

"Niu Gao, Bai He, Yang Wudi—those three ungrateful bastards!"

"If not for the Clear Sky Sect taking them in and protecting them back then, their three clans would have long since been reduced to ashes amid the oppression of the soul master world!"

"And now they dare openly pledge allegiance to Spirit Hall and break with our Clear Sky Sect! What utter humiliation! Utter humiliation!"

"The Strength Clan was wiped out, yet not only do these three clans fail to seek revenge, they instead acknowledge the enemy as their father!"

Third Elder's voice was like ice grinding together, carrying deep-rooted venom.

"Kill!"

"Such conduct deserves a thousand cuts, as a warning to others!"

"Otherwise, Spirit Hall will truly think our Clear Sky Sect is a soft persimmon they can squeeze however they please!"
