Tang San! Did you lure the enemy here?

Outside Clear Sky Sect, a hidden corner.

Tang Hao's face was filled with horror, trembling with anxiety.

Due to guilt and other factors, he dared not return to the sect at this moment, so he waited for his son outside.

He never expected that before the result of his ancestral recognition could be seen, many powerful figures suddenly appeared in the surrounding area.

They were all strangely shaped, with the weakest being at the Soul Sage cultivation level. Without a second thought, he immediately identified them as from the [Holy Demon Federation].

"Damn it! Clear Sky Sect is indeed the target!"

Tang Hao still hadn't realized that he had actually harmed his own family.

Seeing this, he was greatly alarmed and wanted to make a move, but was stopped by intense pain.

After his last confrontation with Long Xingyu, where he detonated his spirit rings and domain, it was not so easy to recover.

Helpless, he had to resort to another method. That's right, the explosion just now was actually caused by him.

He deliberately sounded the alarm to remind the disciples within the sect. As expected, it disrupted the plan and successfully threw Long Xingyu off rhythm.

"What's with this explosion?"

Hell Demon God Marbas's expression was grim.

He mistakenly thought one of his subordinates had accidentally triggered a formation mechanism.

"Never mind, since we've been exposed, let's proceed directly. We're almost surrounded anyway."

"You take a few demon gods and attack from the front to cover my infiltration. Maybe I can catch Tang San!"

Long Xingyu flew over from not far away, hovering beside Marbas. Although his face was also a little dark, he did not question or blame him.

Very decisively, he overturned the yet-to-be-executed plan, changing from a pincer attack to an all-out assault without restraint, as their side had a significant advantage.

"Okay, I'll handle this."

Marbas nodded, agreeing to the arrangement.

In the blink of an eye, his body erupted with fiery energy, directly activating his domain power.

He took the lead and charged towards the peak, bypassing the subordinate villages on the outer perimeter. This part was left for the seventh-tier demon race to annihilate.

Then, Long Xingyu also concealed his aura, bypassed the mist-shrouded cliffs, and entered Clear Sky Sect from another angle.

The battle of annihilation, thus began!

And at the same time, inside the ancient castle's council hall.

Upon learning of the impending disaster, Tang Xiao and the faces of several elders instantly turned extremely grim.

Even Tang Xiao, who had maintained a friendly attitude and attempted to mediate reconciliation before, sensed that something was very wrong.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on Tang San, and he spoke with suppressed anger, directly questioning him.

"Xiao San! What is going on?"

Hearing this, Tang San felt a stampede of horses in his heart.

How would I know what's happening? It has nothing to do with me!

Suddenly, he reacted from his panic, realizing the thoughts of those around him.

He saw that the stern-faced Second Elder was now furious, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at him.

"Damn it! You ungrateful bastard, you must have led the enemy here!"

"Our Clear Sky Sect has been in seclusion for many years, and even the Martial Soul Hall hasn't bothered us. We've been very peaceful."

"Yet, you've only been here for less than a day, and the mountain gate is being attacked by a large number of powerful individuals. How could there be such a coincidence!"

"Speak! Did you and that beastly father of yours, dissatisfied with the sect's decision back then, deliberately collude with outsiders to attempt to destroy Clear Sky Sect!"

The Second Elder roared, his soul power surging.

What he said was also the voice of most people present.

Faced with such a sudden change, everyone had no time to think deeply and made judgments based on instinct.

Undoubtedly, Tang San's suspicion was the greatest. Even Tang Xiao wouldn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Guards! Chop this traitor to the sect and feed him to the dogs!"

The Second Elder shrieked hysterically, pointing at several disciples nearby, unwilling to dirty his own hands.

"Wait! Although Tang San is highly suspected, the matter hasn't been investigated clearly. I suggest we detain him first."

"The immediate priority is to repel the invading enemy. Otherwise, the last bloodline of Clear Sky Sect might be extinguished!"

Tang Xiao was also very angry, but he hadn't lost his reason.

He glanced at Tang San, who was frowning and looking miserable in front of him.

Gritting his teeth, he ultimately chose to believe. Belief doesn't require a reason!

"Don't do anything rash. On account of you being Brother Hao's child, I will give you a fair trial afterward."

Tang San wanted to resist.

However, his current strength was far too humble.

Looking around the council hall, not a single one of the soul masters surrounding him was below the level of a Soul King.

As a mere three-ring rookie, he would undoubtedly die if he made a move, so he did not let humiliation cloud his judgment.

He scanned the room with cold eyes and nodded silently in agreement, only to feel a sharp pain in his back as someone shoved him forward.

They intentionally made him stumble and even kicked him a few times, before he was hauled up by a burly man with the cultivation of a Soul Douluo and a face full of murderous intent.

"Kid, if you dare make any unnecessary moves, I will kill you. I never break my word!"

The man's facial veins bulged as he led Tang San out of the council hall, the latter making no move to resist.

He thought to himself that the identity of the invaders was beyond doubt; they surely belonged to the Holy Demon Federation, and if they breached the defenses, he would be in grave danger regardless.

In any case, these disgusting clansmen would have to stand in front of him, so he might as well let them slaughter each other.

"Rest assured, I don't want to die, so I won't resist."

"As for you, sir, make sure you don't get killed by the enemies outside."

Tang San was clearly being sarcastic, and the result was another punch before he was thrown into a sealed room.

This was the place where the Clear Sky Sect imprisoned clansmen who had committed offenses to reflect and repent, located at the edge of the fortress.

"Kid, you had better pray that this matter truly has nothing to do with you, otherwise no one can save you!"

The Soul Douluo brute said this before turning to leave.

He soon reunited with the others and flew toward the outside of the mountain.

The defenses of the Clear Sky Sect were based on the mountain ranges and divided into several layers, each separated by natural chasms.

Theoretically, even if the outer perimeter were breached, simply retreating to the subsequent defensive lines would be enough to stall for a significant amount of time.

But it was clear that when the old Sect Master chose this place as the secluded residence for the Clear Sky Sect, he had not considered one scenario.

That was if the invading enemies used absolutely no low or mid-tier soul masters, and every single one was above level 70, a Soul Saint, possessing the ability to fly independently.

This made the seemingly impassable defensive lines.

Appear almost non-existent in the eyes of the Divine Seal Demon Race.

In the short time spent bickering with Tang San, the main force led by the Hell Demon God Marbas had already breached the two outer layers.

Although the number of helpers Long Xingyu had invited this time was not particularly large—totaling only three hundred—they were the elite of the elite!

"What, what exactly are these things?"

"They don't look like humans; they look more like a hybrid of soul masters and soul beasts!"

"Such terrifying cultivation levels! Quickly, pass the order to immediately pull back the defensive lines; do not engage them head-on!"

Tang Xiao, the Second Elder, and the others hovered in the air, witnessing the figures of the Demon Gods. Beyond their anger, they were filled with inexplicable horror, unable to believe the scene before them.

Just as they were stunned, they noticed several figures in the distance shooting through the air, rushing toward them with clear intent, specifically targeting them!

"Haha, there are some powerful ones over there."

"Oh? Title Douluo? There are so many of them?"

"Long Xingyu's judgment was correct; the Clear Sky Sect is indeed a massive hidden threat!"
