"On the surface, that's true. But in fact..."
Tang Yuehua smiled bitterly, his eyes full of helplessness and worry:
"Since the battle three years ago, Spirit Hall, in the name of 'common development', forcibly transferred the most elite forces in the clan from the Clear Sky Sect. A total of two hundred level 50 Soul King The direct descendants of and above were forcibly taken away by Pope and incorporated into the Pope Palace, forming a special force named 'Clear Sky Legion'."
"And..." Tang Yuehua paused, and his tone became heavy. "This legion is nominally cooperative, but in fact it is directly led and dispatched by Pope Bibi Dong. Even my eldest brother Tang Xiao, as the patriarch of the Clear Sky Sect, has no right to interfere with their daily training and mission deployment."
Hearing this, Xue Ye and Ge Feng, who was standing behind him, looked at each other, and both saw a hint of shock and solemnity in the other's eyes.
Two hundred Soul King and more Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master!
This is a terrifying force that can change the direction of a regional war!
"This..." Xue Ye asked hesitantly, "The children of the Clear Sky Sect have always been proud and loyal to the sect. Even if they are forcibly incorporated into the Spirit Hall, will they still betray the pride of Clear Sky Hammer and really work for the Spirit Hall?"
In his view, winning people's hearts cannot be achieved overnight. Especially for a super sect like Clear Sky Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years. The disciples have extremely strong clan concepts. How can they be easily conquered by outsiders?
"At the beginning, everyone thought so."
Tang Yuehua's eyes became extremely complicated, "Including eldest brother and all the elders, we all feel that those two hundred elites will never betray the sect. They are just protons used by the Spirit Hall to contain us. But..."
"Three years have passed. My elder brother has been observing Elder Hall for three years, but he was horrified to find that there was really a big problem with the so-called Clear Sky Legion."
"Something went wrong? What problem?" Xue Ye was a little confused.
"It was not simply coercion or inducement, nor was it simply coaxing, but..."
Tang Yuehua organized the language and seemed to not know how to accurately describe that feeling:
"Pope Bibi Dong, she is an extremely terrifying person. Her most powerful thing is not only her unfathomable and peerless martial arts, but also her power to control and win over people's hearts!"
"Even the eldest brother, after three years of secret observation, has to admit that Bibi Dong's personal charm... is simply terrifying!"
"For those old-school Soul Master who are older and have experienced ups and downs, they are afraid of Bibi Dong's thunderous methods and iron-blooded tactics. However, for those young Soul Master who are young and energetic and eager to make contributions..."
"But they enthusiastically support her because of the domineering power Bibi Dong has shown to rule the world, the justice of clear rewards and punishments, and the grand vision of benefiting the world Soul Master!"
Tang Yuehua took a deep breath, "Although I really don't want to admit it, but according to the information sent back by the elder brother... that Clear Sky Legion with two hundred people, at least half of them are now really shaken towards the Spirit Hall, towards Pope Bibi Dong..."
"Bang!"
Xue Ye slapped his thigh suddenly, and his face instantly turned gloomy.
This is the message he least wants to hear and the situation he is most afraid of seeing!
Three years ago, when Bibi Dong announced to the world the establishment of "Clear Sky Legion" and claimed that this was a symbol of the "close cooperation" between the Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect, Xue Ye was already keenly aware of the dangerous atmosphere.
He is very aware of the destructive power of Clear Sky Hammer and Martial Soul on the battlefield!
Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master is different from the ordinary Soul Master. It is the ultimate weapon Martial Soul that is purely designed to destroy and kill!
What is the concept of a re-indoctrination army composed of more than two hundred Soul King Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master?
Without the same number of top-level Soul Masters to restrain them, such an assault force is simply a meat grinder on the battlefield! Strong men who are not at the Titled Douluo level can't stop their charge at all.
What's even more frightening is that if there is a Soul Saint level strong person in this legion...
Once they collectively activate "Martial Soul Avatar" on the battlefield!
What kind of devastating scene would that be?
Dozens or hundreds of 100-meter giant hammers weighing tens of thousands of kilograms and like hills, with terrifying power and Thunderous Might momentum, fell from the sky at the same time, slamming into the enemy's position!
Let alone an elite force of 10,000 people, even an army of 100,000 people formed the strongest defensive formation, in the face of that pure violent crushing, they would instantly collapse like paper and turn into flesh and blood all over the sky!
How many rounds of charges can Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army be able to withstand in the face of such a Soul Master army?
"Spirit Hall...Bibi Dong..."
Xue Ye clenched his fists tightly, and even a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He took a deep breath, forced down the horror in his heart, stared at Tang Yuehua with burning eyes, and asked in a deep voice:
"Now that the situation has reached this point, what do the Tang Xiao sect masters and Clear Sky Sect elders think? Are they just watching the cornerstone of the sect being hollowed out bit by bit by the Spirit Hall?"
Facing the emperor's questioning, Tang Yuehua avoided his sharp gaze and did not answer directly. He just shook his head bitterly:
"Your Majesty, it's not that Big Brother and the others don't want to save things, but...Clear Sky Sect, they are no longer willing to start another war."
"In the battle with the Spirit Hall three years ago, although Clear Sky Sect was saved, his vitality was severely damaged and he suffered heavy casualties. The days of bloodshed and precarious life have become a lingering nightmare in the hearts of many tribesmen."
"Those young Soul Masters have finally seen the light of day again. They have dignity, status and abundant cultivation resources. They... don't want to fight anymore, let alone die."
"The biggest crisis Clear Sky Sect is facing now is not at all what the clan leaders and elders think, but the tribesmen and the younger generation below! Many of them have really been deeply attracted by the future described by Pope Bibi Dong and the atmosphere shown by the Spirit Hall."
"My eldest brother even revealed his deepest concern to me in his letter - if those children who were incorporated into the Clear Sky Legion are forcibly ordered to rebel against the Spirit Hall, Clear Sky Sect... it is very likely that there will be a split on the spot!"
"Bibi Dong's infiltration methods are really terrifying. She does not use swords or poison, but uses her absolute control over people's hearts to disintegrate Clear Sky Hammer's beliefs bit by bit."
"And the most disappointing thing is that we have nothing to do about this matter."
Tang Yuehua smiled miserably and folded his hands tightly, "We can't stop the people's thinking from changing, and we can't intervene. Because those two hundred elites are all under the Pope Palace's nose now. Next, Clear Sky Legion is a legion directly affiliated to Pope. Even though the eldest brother is an elder, he has no qualifications to interfere in the internal affairs of the legion. I can only watch them, getting further and further away from the sect."
After hearing these words, the private room fell into a deathly silence.
Only the precious agarwood in the corner is still burning quietly.
Xue Ye leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and unconsciously rubbed the jade ring on his thumb with his fingers.
As the king of a country, how could he not understand the subtext behind Tang Yuehua's complaint?
The meaning of Tang Yuehua is very clear: Tang Xiao himself and the senior management of the Clear Sky Sect still retain the pride of Clear Sky Hammer in their bones, and are not willing to surrender to the Spirit Hall like a dog.
However, in the current cruel situation, Clear Sky Sect is helpless and unable to protect itself in the face of Bibi Dong's terrifying tactics of boiling frogs in warm water.
They wanted to resist, but they had no way of exerting any force, and they were almost unsteady even internally.
Xue Ye slowly opened his eyes, a deep cold light flashing in his cloudy old eyes.
Clear Sky Sect's compromise and helplessness made him feel deeply chilled.
Even the once arrogant and most bad-tempered sect in the world was assimilated and dismembered under the Spirit Hall's hard and soft tactics. Then who else in the world can stop Spirit Hall's footsteps?
If this trend continues to develop, Spirit Hall will completely digest the power of the Clear Sky Sect, and even conquer more sect forces...
Spirit Hall, would you really be willing to just be a partial Soul Master organization?
How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed?
When the strength of the Spirit Hall expands to the point where the two empires combined cannot compete, the aloof Pope Palace will inevitably cast its greedy eyes on the worldly imperial power and on these great rivers and mountains.
At that time, annexing the two empires and unifying the continent will be Spirit Hall's only option.
And war...
It will also be an absolute and unavoidable necessity!
