Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Five arrows radiating golden light shot out abruptly, piercing the hearts of the remaining Clear Sky Sect disciples.
The one who acted was none other than Radiant Feather Douluo!
He strictly followed Qian Cheng's instructions. Anyone who tried to run was shot dead with a single arrow!
"Tang Hao hasn't returned, has he?"
Qian Cheng looked down at Tang Xiao from above and said softly, "To lure him out, you can cling to life for a few more days."
"Damn Spirit Hall! I won't let your scheme succeed!"
Tang Xiao was no fool. If he still did not know who these people were by now, he might as well hang himself.
"In the eyes of the strong, there is no place for the weak. You have no choice!"
Qian Cheng raised his right foot and stepped on Tang Xiao's right leg.
Crack!
Tang Xiao's right leg was instantly crushed. Pale fragments of bone mixed with blood flowed across the ground.
The intense pain made cold sweat pour from Tang Xiao's forehead, yet he still gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound.
"You can endure quite well. You're a real man, but I prefer hearing your screams!"
The blood-red Chaos Guixu surged forth once more like a raging tide.
Qian Cheng held two fingers together like a sword and slashed across Tang Xiao's right arm!
Squelch!
Tang Xiao only felt a violent stabbing pain in his right arm, followed by an indescribable tearing sensation.
Blood instantly burst forth like a crimson fountain, drawing arcs of red through the air.
"Ah—"
Tang Xiao screamed incessantly as he rolled across the ground, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.
Pain!
The pain of losing an arm was ten times more intense than the pain of his broken leg just now!
"Since you can't resist, enjoy all of this!"
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be pointless for me to increase your pain sensitivity tenfold?"
A gentle smile hung on Qian Cheng's face as he casually crushed Tang Xiao's remaining hand and foot.
"Ah—"
Miserable screams rang endlessly at the foot of Clear Sky Sect's mountain.
A moment later, Tang Xiao finally blacked out, unable to endure any longer.
"Holy Dragon Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, pull out the soul bones on Tang Xiao's body. And while you're at it, trouble yourselves to drag him up the mountain."
Qian Cheng turned and spoke to Holy Dragon Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo.
"Understood!"
The two Titled Douluo hurried over and began examining Tang Xiao's limbs.
"Sir, Tang Xiao has four soul bones on him!"
Holy Dragon Douluo spoke up.
"Keep them for now. Once we've dealt with Clear Sky Sect and returned to Spirit Hall, we'll distribute them."
Qian Cheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow him up the mountain.
The Six Great Enshrined and the other elders naturally followed behind him eagerly, rubbing their hands in anticipation.
Demon Bear Douluo dragged Tang Xiao's body along at the very end of the group.
As the number one sect in the world, Clear Sky Sect could even hold a celebration without incident after its disciples killed the Spirit Hall Pope.
The upper echelons of sects large and small had basically all come personally to offer congratulations.
The one who came from the Star Luo Empire was the White Tiger Great Emperor, Dai Tianfeng.
He had already reached the mountaintop of Clear Sky Sect with his wife, Zhu Tiancai, and his son, Dai Weisi.
"Your Majesty's personal visit truly brings great honor to our Clear Sky Sect. Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality!"
The moment he saw Dai Tianfeng approach, Tang Lie immediately went forward to greet him.
"I have long heard of the splendor of the number one sect in the world. Seeing it today, its reputation is indeed well deserved!"
Dai Tianfeng said calmly.
"This must be His Highness, the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire?"
Tang Lie's gaze shifted to Dai Weisi.
"I wouldn't dare. My father has not yet named a crown prince."
Though Dai Weisi was still young, every gesture he made already carried the bearing of an emperor.
"Your Highness is too modest."
Tang Lie understood that there was no need to ask further about the matter of succession, so he directly gestured for Dai Tianfeng to enter.
After Dai Tianfeng entered the hall, the second group of distinguished guests arrived.
Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
"Elder Tang Lie, it has been a long time."
Ning Fengzhi handed over the invitation, a refined smile on his face.
"Sect Master Ning, I suppose your sect will be holding a full-month celebration in a few days as well?"
Tang Lie said pointedly.
"When Rongrong's full-month celebration comes, I will need everyone to honor us with your presence."
Ning Fengzhi lowered his voice and asked Tang Lie, "Has Spirit Hall really done nothing? Not even reacted in the slightest?"
"Mere Spirit Hall was scared out of its wits by Uncle Tang Chen long ago. What moves could they possibly make?"
"They're nothing but trash, a bunch of useless fools who only know how to bark!"
Tang Lie's face was full of ridicule, and he had no intention of lowering his voice at all.
"The Upper Three Sects stand together. Even if Spirit Hall dares to do anything, we can thwart their schemes!"
Ning Fengzhi hurriedly changed the subject.
He still understood the saying that walls had ears.
"Sect Master Ning is right. The friendship between Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shall endure forever. Mere Spirit Hall is nothing to worry about!"
Tang Lie naturally knew that Ning Fengzhi had lost his nerve, but he could not be bothered to expose him.
"Only Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Have you excluded our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
At that moment, an aged voice carrying a trace of displeasure came from behind them.
Tang Lie and Ning Fengzhi subconsciously turned around.
They saw a burly old man approaching them with several young people.
This man was the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—Yu Yuanzhen.
Among the others were his son, Yu Dagang, as well as Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng, who were just over six years old.
"Old Dragon King, you weren't here just now, so that's why we said it."
"Now that you've arrived, naturally the Upper Three Sects stand together, and our friendship shall endure forever!"
Ning Fengzhi hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
"The Upper Three Sects have always been the Upper Three Sects, but the Lower Four Sects have always been changing."
Tang Lie said meaningfully.
"The mere Lower Four Sects are not worth one of this old man's fingers!"
Yu Yuanzhen's tone was filled with disdain.
"Where is Vice Sect Master Yu? Why hasn't he come today? Could it be that he has touched upon the threshold of a Titled Douluo and is about to break through?"
Tang Lie was quite surprised when he saw that Yu Luomian had not come.
After all, Yu Luomian had promised to attend Clear Sky Sect's ceremony.
Without a special reason, he normally would not be absent.
"Then we should offer our congratulations to your sect in advance."
Ning Fengzhi was first stunned, then spoke.
Although he did not want the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to produce another Titled Douluo, appearances still had to be maintained.
"Something happened to him. This old man is still investigating the exact circumstances!"
"I'd like to see who dares to kill the deputy clan leader of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
A cold gleam flashed through Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, and his voice was incomparably icy.
"Everyone, our sect master is already waiting for you inside. Please, come in."
Having struck a sore point, Tang Lie could no longer be bothered to chat and hurriedly changed the subject.
