Clear Sky Tomb

Xue Beng continued closing in on the Clear Sky Sect, destroying or burying everything along the way.

The Clear Sky Sect's defenses were no exception. Even the roads leading in and out were completely destroyed.

Of course, they would no longer need to come and go in the future.

At last, the avalanche struck the Clear Sky Sect's central buildings. One structure after another was destroyed, and the Clear Sky Sect's plaque was directly buried beneath the snow.

"We have to hold it back!"

After surging past the Clear Sky Sect's buildings and reaching the Clear Sky Great Formation, the avalanche had weakened considerably.

The Clear Sky Great Formation still managed to block the avalanche's impact, but this was only the beginning.

Endless snow continued pouring down to bury them. By the time the avalanche completely subsided, the place where the Clear Sky Sect had once stood was nothing but a vast expanse of white. Not a trace of the Clear Sky Sect remained.

Xiao Chenlong brought everyone back and landed on a nearby mountain peak.

"Was the Clear Sky Sect just... wiped out like that?"

Yu Yuanzhen was still somewhat dazed. The avalanche just now had been far too shocking.

If he had been swept into it, he did not dare guarantee that he would have emerged unscathed.

"Not yet. Some of their core members are still alive. They're trying to crawl out."

Xiao Chenlong used his Purple Demon Eyes to observe the situation beneath the snow.

Spirit Masters were still human. Suffocation, crushing pressure, and freezing cold were all enough to kill.

There were probably very few Clear Sky Sect disciples who could truly crawl out of the snow.

After waiting for some time, movement finally appeared on the endless white snowfield.

A mass of snow exploded, and Sect Master Tang Xiao was the first to crawl out.

However, his expression was exceptionally grim. Although the Clear Sky Great Formation had blocked the avalanche's impact—

once they had been buried beneath the snow, they could not keep maintaining the Clear Sky Great Formation forever. The Soul Power required to sustain it was enormous.

They had no choice but to slowly withdraw the Clear Sky Great Formation, then desperately carve out passages through the accumulated snow.

The longer they delayed, the more casualties there would be. The weaker their strength, the less time they could endure beneath the snow.

Although Tang Xiao had gotten out himself, he had no way to establish a stable passage through the snow to save the other Clear Sky Sect disciples.

Soon afterward, the Five Great Elders of the Clear Sky Sect also crawled out one after another. They looked even more bedraggled. Maintaining the Clear Sky Great Formation and clawing their way out of the snow had consumed vast amounts of their Soul Power.

"The Clear Sky Sect... is ruined! How are we supposed to answer to the old sect master?"

"Alas, who could have expected such a sudden natural disaster?"

"No! This wasn't a natural disaster!"

Tang Xiao's voice rang out, drawing the attention of the Five Great Elders.

"Sect Master, what do you mean?"

"It was Spirit Hall!"

Tang Xiao gritted out the three words, "Spirit Hall."

"Heh heh, Sect Master Tang Xiao, you've still got some brains. How do you like the gift I prepared for you?"

Tang Xiao and the Five Great Elders of the Clear Sky Sect looked up toward the voice and saw a Great Roc slowly descending.

After landing, Little Monkey reverted to his original form and crouched on Xiao Chenlong's shoulder. Xiao Chenlong casually handed him a banana.

Tang Xiao and the Five Great Elders of the Clear Sky Sect turned ashen upon seeing the people before them.

When Tang Xiao spotted Sword Douluo and Yu Yuanzhen, fury once again appeared on his face.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! You were actually willing to become Spirit Hall's running dogs."

Sword Douluo turned his head away, unwilling to respond to Tang Xiao, while Yu Yuanzhen merely shook his head.

"A wise man submits to the times. We had no choice. The times have changed, and we can only go with the tide. After all, we must consider our sects' survival."

Those words were practically saying that Tang Xiao had failed to consider his sect, bringing this calamity upon them.

Tang Xiao was so enraged by Yu Yuanzhen's words that he laughed.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Cowards who cling to life and fear death—I, Tang Xiao, disdain to associate with the likes of you."

"Oh? So everyone in your Clear Sky Sect is unafraid of death? Then if I said that only one of the six of you could live, what would you do?"

"You're Spirit Hall's Holy Son!"

"That's right, it's me. I've long admired Sect Master Tang Xiao's reputation. Let me also tell you this—the plan against the Clear Sky Sect was designed by me.

Fortunately, you chose such a fine location yourselves. It saved me a great deal of trouble.

Once this is over, I'll erect a monument here and carve three words onto it: 'Clear Sky Tomb.'"

"You're courting death!"

The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Xiao's hand flew from his grasp and smashed directly toward Xiao Chenlong.

Xiao Chenlong did not even bother dodging. Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo struck at the same time, sending Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer flying back.

"Sect Master Tang Xiao, now that things have come to this, why be so hot-tempered? I'd like to ask you instead—do you regret your decision back then?

If the Clear Sky Sect had chosen to cooperate with Spirit Hall like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, would you have suffered such a catastrophe today?"

Xiao Chenlong was deliberately provoking Tang Xiao and the other Five Great Elders.

"Spirit Hall! My Clear Sky Sect will never coexist with you!"

"Alas, what use is shouting so loudly? After today, even the name Clear Sky Sect will completely become history."

"Hmph! Ignorant brat, my Clear Sky Sect will not perish so easily. My grandfather Tang Chen and my brother Tang Hao will surely avenge us."

"Heh heh, all you have left is bravado. Tang Chen became trapped in the God Trial while pursuing godhood. He stopped caring about the Clear Sky Sect long ago.

As for Tang Hao, his name suits him perfectly. He really did become a rat, a sewer rat who does not even dare see the light. How could he possibly avenge you?

I'll say it again. I'll give you a chance—one out of the six of you may live. Who will you let survive?"

"You despicable brat, stop trying to sow discord here! My Clear Sky Sect has no cowards who fear death. Attack together! Even if we die, we cannot tarnish the Clear Sky Sect's prestige."

The one who said this was the Second Elder. Interestingly, perhaps because he was too enraged, he actually broke through to Rank 90 at this moment.

Unfortunately, there were no Spirit Rings here. At most, he could only be considered a Quasi Titled Douluo.

Tang Xiao also let out a roar at this moment.

"Clear Sky Great Formation!"

Tang Xiao and the Five Great Elders exhausted their remaining strength to form the Clear Sky Great Formation once more.

Xiao Chenlong could feel Tang Xiao's gaze locked onto him.

It was obvious that Tang Xiao wanted to kill him more than anyone else now.

Xiao Chenlong merely smiled. "Esteemed Enshrined, I'll leave the rest to you. Leave no one alive."

"Yes, Holy Son!"

Xiao Chenlong then turned and left to find a suitable stone for the Clear Sky Tomb.

"Don't run!"

"Hmph, let this old man see this so-called Clear Sky Great Formation for himself. Seventh Spirit Skill, Golden Crocodile King True Body."

Qingluan Douluo, Mighty Lion Douluo, Guangling Douluo, Qianjun Douluo, and Jiangmo Douluo also assumed attacking stances.

At that moment, Xiao Chenlong's voice reached Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's ears.

"Move!"
