That's right, this person was Tang Hao.
As for how he survived Lan Minghua's Holy Spear, he had his wife to thank.
Or rather, it was the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone he carried that saved him.
Under normal circumstances, once a Soul Bone is fused, it cannot be replaced.
But in special circumstances, Soul Bones on the limbs can be replaced.
Tang Hao was on the verge of death after the Holy Spear attack. The Soul Bone on his right leg was shattered, but his leg wasn't completely severed.
At death's door, he absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone not only possessed flight abilities but also powerful self-healing and regeneration capabilities.
Although the attributes of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone didn't match Tang Hao very well, the Soul Bone still granted him the "Wildfire cannot burn it all, it grows again in the spring breeze" Soul Bone skill.
It was precisely by relying on this skill that Tang Hao managed to cling to his life.
However, the attributes ultimately didn't match, so the self-healing ability granted by the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was limited.
When Tang Hao woke up, his injuries were still very severe.
He knew clearly that the only way to survive was to return to the Clear Sky Sect.
So he gave it his all and returned to the Clear Sky Sect, displaying his Clear Sky Hammer.
This led to the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect discovering him and finally bringing him into the Clear Sky Sect, resulting in the scene that had just unfolded.
Tang Xiao, with quick reflexes, caught the unconscious Tang Hao and immediately turned to leave.
However, at this very moment, an enraged roar echoed from behind him.
"Tang Hao, die for this old man!"
The Seventh Elder attacked in fury, his Clear Sky Hammer instantly expanding into a massive black hammer.
Immediately after, the Clear Sky Hammer, wreathed in endless black light, smashed down fiercely towards Tang Hao in Tang Xiao's arms.
The hammer wind howled, and the entire great hall trembled under the pressure of this strike.
However, Tang Xiao reacted even faster.
Terrifying soul power erupted from his body, and nine soul rings instantly appeared.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, brilliant light flowed around him.
With a wave of his hand, a thick soul power barrier instantly condensed, forcefully blocking the Seventh Elder's furious blow.
"Boom—!"
The Clear Sky Hammer collided with the soul power barrier, erupting in a deafening roar, the shockwave sweeping through the entire great hall.
Weaker disciples were pushed back several steps, their faces pale.
The elders squinted their eyes, struck by the blastwave. They hadn't expected Tang Xiao to be this powerful.
The Seventh Elder was forced back two steps by the recoil, his expression terrifyingly grim.
After all, Tang Xiao was now a Level 96, or even Level 97, Titled Douluo.
The gap in soul power between each level of Titled Douluo was immense.
"Tang Xiao! Why are you harboring this traitor?!"
The Seventh Elder's eyes blazed, his voice filled with hatred. "He killed my son, disgraced the Clear Sky Sect, and you're still protecting him?!"
Facing the accusation, Tang Xiao didn't answer. He merely lowered his head to look at the dying Tang Hao in his arms.
At this moment, only one thought occupied his mind: he had to save Tang Hao's life, no matter what.
He raised his head, his gaze sweeping coldly over the Seventh Elder, and said in a deep voice, "Seventh Elder, we can discuss this later. Saving him is the priority now."
"Saving him? Saving this traitor?!"
The Seventh Elder laughed in anger, his voice sharp and piercing. "Tang Xiao, don't forget, he is a sinner of the Clear Sky Sect! As Sect Master, are you going to oppose the entire sect for this traitor?!"
Tang Xiao's expression gradually turned cold. He slowly raised his head, his eyes like knives, staring directly at the Seventh Elder.
When it came to issues concerning Tang Hao, he would not back down.
The next moment, his soul power erupted once more.
A more terrifying aura than before swept through the entire venue. The light of his nine soul rings almost illuminated the entire great hall.
Tang Xiao's voice was low, filled with undeniable authority. "Seventh Elder, I'll say it again. Saving him is the priority now."
The Seventh Elder was intimidated by this terrifying soul power, his expression changing slightly.
But he was still unwilling. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Tang Xiao, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're the Sect Master! Today, you must give me an explanation, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Tang Xiao's voice suddenly rose, like a thunderclap.
He took a step forward, his soul power surging towards the Seventh Elder like a tide, almost crushing him.
His gaze was icy, and he spoke word by word, "Seventh Elder, I am the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect. It's not your place to dictate what I do!"
The Seventh Elder was forced to retreat repeatedly by this imposing aura, his face ashen. He could no longer speak.
He stared fixedly at Tang Xiao, his eyes filled with hatred and unwillingness, but ultimately he didn't dare to step forward again.
The other elders remained silent, unsure of who to side with for the moment.
Tang Xiao ignored the Seventh Elder and left with Tang Hao in his arms.
The great hall fell into dead silence, leaving only the Seventh Elder's heavy breathing and the disciples' low murmurs.
The Seventh Elder clenched his fists, his fingernails digging deep into his palms, a trace of malice flashing in his eyes.
"Tang Xiao, this isn't over! I want to see how long you can protect him!"
Regarding Tang Hao's return, the other elders of the Clear Sky Sect did not immediately declare their stance.
However, the Clear Sky Sect became busy after a long absence.
Several days passed in a flash, and the matter continued to escalate.
Balak Kingdom, Shrek Academy.
Lan Minghua lay comfortably on the rooftop, basking in the sun, but his face was full of melancholy.
It was unreasonable that no one had come to cause trouble.
"Strange, where are the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Ning Fengzhi died by my hand, shouldn't they have come charging in to get revenge? Why is there no reaction now?"
Actually, Lan Minghua could understand why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wasn't seeking revenge.
After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could maintain its position among the Upper Three Sects not by their own strength, but by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Now, Sword Douluo's arms were both broken, rendering him a cripple.
Even with the soul power of a Titled Douluo, he was practically useless.
Bone Douluo was even less to be said, his strength was a notch weaker than Sword Douluo's.
If Sword Douluo wasn't an opponent, then anyone coming for revenge would just be sending themselves to their doom.
It was the Martial Soul Hall's lack of reaction that Lan Minghua found utterly baffling.
"Something's not right, twelve out of ten things are not right. Why hasn't the Martial Soul Hall come looking for trouble? Are they scared?"
Lan Minghua narrowed his eyes, sensing a hint of conspiracy.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were crippled by me. By all rights, the Martial Soul Hall, or rather Bibi Dong, would never let this go.
After all, the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Shadow on the Pope's Edict referred to Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
Attacking the two of them was equivalent to slapping the Martial Soul Hall in the face.
But why, after so long, has the Martial Soul Hall made no move?
Could it be that the Martial Soul Hall hasn't discovered my location?
No, that's absolutely impossible.
As soon as Lan Minghua had this thought, he rejected it himself.
The Martial Soul Hall couldn't possibly not know his location.
In fact, the moment he made a move against Tang Hao that day, he had already entered the Martial Soul Hall's sights.
Otherwise, Yue Guan and Gui Mei wouldn't have invited him to be an Elder of the Martial Soul Hall.
Just as Lan Minghua was racking his brain, he suddenly saw Yu Xiaogang, who was instructing Tang San and the others to run while carrying stones.
Suddenly, Lan Minghua realized something.
"Yu Xiaogang? Yu? Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?!"
Lan Minghua suddenly remembered a saying, and that saying might be the key.
The Upper Three Sects, united as one!
"The Upper Three Sects are united as one. That seems to be something Ning Fengzhi said. Although the Upper Three Sects have a relationship, their actual relationship isn't as close as 'united as one'."
