Seventh Elder Tang Lie Goes to Kill Bai He, Slaughtering the Entire Clan Without Sparing Man or Beast!

"Especially Bai He! That old bastard!"

Third Elder's roar exploded through the council hall like thunder, making everyone's ears ring as terrifying killing intent nearly took physical form.

"Do you still remember how that man followed our sect disciples back then and actually found the location of the Clear Sky Sect Mountain Gate?"

At those words, everyone's pupils contracted as they seemed to recall the scene of Bai He standing before the mountain gate, begging the sect for protection.

He suddenly stepped forward. The hard stone slabs beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, while the crimson phantom of a Clear Sky Hammer flashed behind him, bringing suffocating pressure.

"That old thing has become Spirit Hall's lackey!"

"Once he tells Spirit Hall this information, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Niu Gao and Yang Wudi can be ignored for now, but that old bastard must die first!"

"Before he sells all our secrets to Spirit Hall, send him to hell!"

"Third Elder is right!"

Second Elder's voice was hoarse, and killing intent boiled in his eyes.

"Bai He is the greatest threat. He absolutely cannot be allowed to live! This must be handled with thunderous force, killing him in one strike! Otherwise, there will be endless trouble later!"

"Sect Master!"

Second Elder abruptly turned around. His bloodshot eyes locked onto Tang Xiao as his voice rang with unwavering determination and unquestionable madness.

"Cleansing the sect and killing the traitor Bai He must be handled personally by a sect elder!"

"Our Clear Sky Sect will use that old bastard's head to show Niu Gao and Yang Wudi, those two cowardly turtles, the consequences of betraying the Clear Sky Sect!"

"Slaughter the Speed Clan! Spare neither man nor beast!"

Fifth Elder nodded as well.

"Sect Master, the sect's intelligence elder previously reported that after the Three Clans issued their Joint Declaration, Bai He and Yang Wudi had already returned to their clans to gather their people and prepare to relocate the entire clans to Dragon Rise City."

"Without Spirit Hall's protection now, this is the perfect chance to strike at Bai He!"

"Delay may bring disaster!"

The air throughout the council hall seemed to have been completely ignited by Tang Lie's violent killing intent.

The four elders all focused their gazes on Tang Xiao.

Those gazes were filled with towering fury.

Tang Xiao slowly raised his head. The last trace of hesitation on his face was completely replaced by icy killing intent.

A cold gleam surged in his eyes as terrifying Soul Power pressure erupted, instantly overwhelming everyone else's momentum.

He spoke slowly, every word carrying resolve and decisiveness.

"Approved!"

"We must remain in the sect to observe the situation and cannot leave."

"Immediately dispatch disciples to Heaven Dou City to notify Seventh Elder Tang Lie."

"Set out at once for the Speed Clan and kill the traitor Bai He!"

"Any member of the Speed Clan who dares resist shall be killed without mercy!"

"Use traitors' blood to forge the iron laws of Clear Sky. Use thunderous methods to cow every petty villain beneath the heavens!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The four elders shouted in unison, cupping their fists as they accepted the order.

Tang Xiao, who had always been cautious, had never before made such a risky move.

Today's actions by the Three Clans had clearly enraged him beyond all restraint.

The blood of the four elders surged with heat. The Clear Sky Sect had remained hidden from the world for many years; it had been a long time since they had felt such intense battle intent.

Before the ruins of the Strength Clan in Heaven Dou City, thick with the stench of blood and burnt flesh.

Seventh Elder Tang Lie stood like an iron tower, his expression so dark it seemed ready to drip water.

He had personally surveyed this hellscape—there was not a single survivor.

"What ruthless methods! What a vicious Spirit Hall!"

Tang Lie ground his teeth until they creaked, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Violent Soul Power leaked out uncontrollably, forming a small storm around him that swept up and pulverized the rubble beneath his feet.

Though the Strength Clan was a subordinate clan, it had served Clear Sky with loyalty for generations.

Among the Four Single-Attribute Clans, it had been the most loyal of all.

This hatred could not be borne beneath the same sky!

Just then, a lightning-fast figure tore through the air and abruptly appeared.

The newcomer dropped to one knee before Tang Lie. He was a Messenger Soul Master from the Clear Sky Sect, responsible for delivering urgent secret orders.

"Seventh Elder! The sect's highest emergency order!"

The man spoke urgently as he respectfully presented a black Jade Slip engraved with the symbol of the Clear Sky Hammer.

Tang Lie snatched it up and instantly poured Soul Power into it.

The information contained within the Jade Slip exploded in his mind like thunder.

The Defense, Strength, and Speed Clans had issued a Joint Declaration in Dragon Rise City, announcing their complete break with the Clear Sky Sect and their Allegiance to Martial Soul Hall!

The traitors of the Three Clans were guilty beyond forgiveness. Bai He knew the location of the sect and was the greatest hidden danger!

You are ordered to immediately proceed to the Speed Clan's residence, kill the traitor Bai He, and slaughter the entire clan without sparing man or beast! There must be no mistake!

"Traitors! Shameless traitors!"

Tang Lie's eyes instantly turned blood-red. His violent killing intent erupted like a tangible shockwave, making the Messenger Soul Master kneeling before him feel his blood and qi churn as he staggered back again and again.

The corpses of the Strength Clan had not even gone cold, yet these three clans dared to openly defect to their enemy.

Especially Bai He! That old bastard who had shamelessly sought out the mountain gate back then to beg for protection, only to be refused—he had actually become the most dangerous traitor.

"Niu Gao! Yang Wudi! Bai He! You will all die!"

The fury and killing intent in his heart were completely ignited, leaving him without the slightest hesitation.

"Since the sect has given the order, I'll start with that old white bird, Bai He!"

"You, hurry back to the sect and report!"

Tang Lie roared at the Messenger Soul Master. Then his body shot into the sky, transforming into a black streak that tore through the heavens, heading straight for the Speed Clan's hidden residence.

He moved so fast that a string of piercing sonic booms trailed through the air.

What investigation? What evidence? None of it was needed!

The orders of the Sect Master and elders were the highest will.

He had only one thought now—kill!

He would use the bloodiest, cruelest means to let the world know the consequences of betraying the Clear Sky Sect!

Speed Clan residence.

The night was deep. Most clan members had already gone to rest, with only scattered lamps swaying in the night wind.

Clan Leader Bai He sat alone by his window, holding a piece of warm Ancient Jade in his hand. It was a token passed down through generations of the Speed Clan.

The moonlight outside was cool as water, yet it could not dispel the heavy worry and deep exhaustion between his brows.

After the Joint Declaration was issued, Niu Gao and Yang Wudi both seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief. They had begun receiving the first batch of resources and blueprints sent by Spirit Hall. Though the atmosphere within the clans was tense, it also carried a trace of hope for a new beginning.

Only the enormous shadow in Bai He's heart had not faded. Instead, it grew heavier and heavier, pressing down on him until he could barely breathe.

He knew too much.

These things had once represented responsibility and trust, but now they had become death warrants hanging over his head!

"The Clear Sky Sect will never let this go..."

Bai He gazed at the cold moonlight outside and muttered to himself, his voice carrying an almost imperceptible tremor.

"If the Clear Sky Sect makes a move, the first person they will kill will definitely be me..."

At dawn tomorrow, he would take his clan members and leave this place, relocating to Dragon Rise City.

Spirit Hall elders were stationed there, which reassured him greatly.

"Bzzzz—!"

At that very moment, an ominous premonition so intense that even his soul trembled seized him without warning.

Bai He felt as though a cold Poison Serpent had wrapped itself around his neck.
