Outside Tian Dou Imperial City, in the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Sword Douluo sat in a chair, holding a report Spirit Hall had issued to the entire world.
Even Sword Douluo, who was not sensitive to politics, understood Spirit Hall's intentions from this intelligence.
"Tang Hao must be in utter despair right now!"
"If he goes to Spirit City, he will be walking into a trap. If he does not, he will be reviled by the entire world."
Sword Douluo let out a long sigh, his face full of conflict.
Even he would have found it difficult to make a choice in such a life-or-death dilemma.
"Tang Hao will not go unless he truly does not want to live anymore and is prepared to drag Tang Zhen, Tang Xiao, and Tang Yuehua down with him!"
"But if that happens, even if Spirit Hall does not kill Tang Xiao and Tang Zhen, they will make them wish they were dead."
A bitter smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face. He sighed. "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been hard to reconcile. No matter what Tang Hao does now, it will be wrong. Even breathing is a grave sin!"
"At the end of the day, Tang Hao caused this."
"If he had not attacked Spirit Hall's Pope over a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, things would never have escalated to this point."
As he said this, Sword Douluo's face turned icy.
Bone Douluo's tragic death remained an inescapable shadow in his heart.
And ultimately, Bone Douluo had died because of Tang Hao.
"Uncle Sword, it is enough for us to understand certain things in our hearts. There is no need to say them aloud."
"Spirit Hall's ambitions are already plain for all to see. If we do not unite, we will soon become the next Clear Sky Sect."
Ning Fengzhi's expression was extremely solemn.
Spirit Hall had seized six cities. What exactly were they planning to do?
That was truly difficult to guess!
"Sect Master, Tang Yuehua, the mistress of Moonlight Pavilion, has taken a group of Moonlight Pavilion graduates toward Spirit City."
Just then, a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciple rushed inside in a hurry.
"Tang Yuehua? Tang Hao's younger sister? She is going to Spirit City? Could it be..."
Upon hearing this information, Ning Fengzhi froze for a moment before quickly realizing what it meant.
Tang Hao still had a younger sister. It was not unreasonable for his sister to atone for his crimes in his place.
Since Tang Hao had not gone, Spirit Hall would not deal a fatal blow to Tang Zhen and the others.
This would tarnish Tang Hao's reputation even further, but Tang Yuehua's reputation would rise several notches instead.
Then even more people would go to Moonlight Pavilion to study.
What exactly did Moonlight Pavilion teach?
Ning Fengzhi had no desire to know, but he was certain Tang Yuehua would fan the flames and make those students loathe Spirit Hall.
For example.
Tang Yuehua was bringing a group of brainless graduates to Spirit City right now!
"Uncle Sword, let us go to Spirit City to witness the ceremony!"
Ning Fengzhi's decision was no different from that of the other sect masters.
The sect masters who had received the intelligence also began making their way toward Spirit City.
Meanwhile, after returning to Spirit City, Qian Cheng convened a meeting.
"This meeting will be chaired by the little girl!"
Qian Cheng pulled Qian Renxue over and had her sit beside him.
Seeing this, the several worshippers led by Qian Daoliu all revealed strange expressions.
Qian Daoliu's face was full of smiles, though no one knew exactly what he was smiling about.
The other worshippers wore expressions as though this were only natural.
Qian Renxue was bound to become the next Pope. Familiarizing herself with the work beforehand was something she had to go through.
"Um..."
Qian Renxue looked timidly at the worshippers, but their faces were full of encouragement, instantly giving her confidence.
"Tang Yuehua is coming to Spirit City. What do you all think?"
Qian Renxue put on the air of an adult, though her little frame was still far too small.
Mm.
Flat as a board, front and back indistinguishable!
"She should be coming to apologize in Tang Hao's place, but I cannot figure out why she is bringing those students."
Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment before voicing his opinion.
"What else could it be? Moral blackmail!"
Qian Cheng raised a brow and said playfully, "Those students are all children of noble families. They are coming either to throw their weight around or to play the sympathy card. Either they want us to release them, or they want us not to make things difficult for Tang Yuehua!"
"Then what should we do?"
Qian Daoliu asked with an anxious expression.
"What should we do? Grandson, I will give you two lines!"
Qian Daoliu immediately put on an attentive expression.
"If I have no morals, you cannot morally blackmail me!"
"You only know it hurts when the slap lands on you!"
Qian Cheng looked at Qian Daoliu with great interest, as though waiting for him to suddenly attain enlightenment.
Unfortunately, Qian Daoliu had apparently not reached that level yet and still looked utterly baffled.
"If Tang Yuehua has come, Tang Hao definitely will not!"
"Then how exactly should we deal with Tang Xiao and Tang Zhen?"
"Do we kill them or not?"
Qian Renxue's words plunged the four worshippers into deep thought.
They were not fools. The sects coming to Spirit City to witness the ceremony had the same purpose in mind.
Kill them?
Then Tang Hao, that sewer rat, would certainly wreak havoc everywhere. Guarding against him would be extremely troublesome.
Do not kill them?
Spirit Hall would lose more than half of the prestige it had worked so hard to establish!
It was still a dilemma!
"Looks like none of you have any ideas?"
Seeing the four worshippers' troubled expressions, Qian Cheng knew they had not broadened their thinking.
"Ancestor, please enlighten us."
The four worshippers looked at one another and spoke in unison.
"I will give you a hint. Let those people see what they ought to see!"
The corners of Qian Cheng's lips lifted slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.
"See what they ought to see?"
The four worshippers frowned and immediately sank into thought.
Then...
After thinking for a long time, they still could not make heads or tails of it.
"Forget it, I will spell it out!"
"Tang Yuehua is an ordinary person. It should not be difficult for you to make her hallucinate or control her thoughts, right?"
Upon hearing Qian Cheng say this, Qian Daoliu instantly understood.
Tang Yuehua's Soul Power had not even reached level ten. Making her hallucinate would be effortless.
As long as Tang Yuehua believed Tang Xiao and Tang Zhen were not dead, Tang Hao would continue living like a rat!
But in reality, Tang Xiao and Tang Zhen would already have been executed by them!
The sects of all sizes that came to witness the ceremony would personally see Tang Xiao and Tang Zhen die in Spirit City!
When both sides insisted on their own version of events, whom would Tang Hao choose to believe?
Even if Ning Fengzhi told him that his father and elder brother had died, Tang Hao would think Ning Fengzhi was using him to make him attack Spirit Hall!
Tang Yuehua was his own younger sister!
How could she possibly deceive him?
Impossible!
"Ancestor, I have something to say, though I do not know whether I should."
Qian Daoliu scratched his head and cautiously said, "Your moral bottom line really changes at every moment!"
"If you know you should not say it, why did you still say it?"
Qian Cheng shook his head and slowly pulled out a brick.
