As the saying went, troubles never came alone.

"Third Elder!"

At that moment, a Clear Sky Sect disciple was trembling violently all over, his steps unsteady as though he might float away at any moment. He looked on the verge of collapse.

He could no longer be said to be holding his Clear Sky Hammer. At best, he was barely "grasping" it.

Clearly,

he had completely become a mere conduit for the Clear Sky Hammer's inertial execution of Disordered Cloak!

As such, he was currently unable to redirect this power that had exceeded his control.

"Disciples nearby, stop him now!"

Seeing this, the Third Elder's eyes nearly split open with rage as he hurriedly shouted.

He was panicking.

He had no choice but to panic.

If that disciple truly erupted within the Clear Sky Array, it would not be as simple as the array collapsing on its own.

After all, most of the disciples within the array had temporarily bestowed their power upon him.

Once that disciple erupted and the Clear Sky Hammer flew from his grasp...

there might even be casualties!

However, although the Disordered Cloak Hammer had affected the entire Clear Sky Array, that did not mean it ceased to function within the array.

In other words, the surrounding disciples simply could not approach the Clear Sky Hammer being continuously swung by the disciple on the verge of collapse.

Unless a high-level powerhouse stepped in and forcibly suppressed him. But was there anyone?

Those above Soul Saint were either barely holding on or enduring the power being bestowed by other disciples who could no longer hold on.

And this disciple on the verge of collapse had a Soul Power Level of 63...

No one could stop him. No one could block him!

Finally—

Boom!

The massive Clear Sky Hammer flew from his hand, directly smashing down a large group of disciples who had originally surrounded him and now had no time to retreat.

Blood immediately stained the ground. Quite a few of the fallen Clear Sky Sect disciples passed out on the spot, their lives and deaths unknown.

Seeing the situation heading in the worst possible direction, the Third Elder in front no longer cared about maximizing profits or taking as many Angel Legion members with him as possible. He only wanted to quickly withdraw the Clear Sky Array and put an end to this clumsy, chaotic Disordered Cloak.

"All Clear Sky Sect disciples!"

He raised an arm and shouted. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand instantly expanded.

"Together with me, smash the power of the Clear Sky Hammers into the ground!"

"But then we won't be able to hit the Angel Legion in the sky..."

A disciple could not help hesitating.

"Stop fucking bringing that up!"

It would have been fine if he had not heard it, but upon hearing it, the Third Elder immediately flared up.

After all that effort, they had not harmed the Angel Legion in the slightest. The Clear Sky Array had collapsed on its own, and some disciples had even fainted from losing control of the Disordered Cloak Hammer.

They had dealt zero damage to the enemy while crippling their entire side. It was all effort for nothing!

Boom!

At last, several Clear Sky Hammers smashed down at once. Huge craters instantly appeared across the ground, leaving it utterly ravaged as dust rose all around. The Clear Sky Array had already collapsed on its own.

When the dust settled, it revealed the Hammer Men inside, all covered in grime and looking utterly miserable. At the same time, the Angel Legion, which had long been poised to strike, had already surrounded them from all directions.

"This Disordered Cloak Hammer really shook heaven and earth. It even blew my hair loose a little..."

"You may resist."

Ling Yuan looked down at them from above, the fiery wings behind her blazing as she spoke calmly.

"We..."

The Third Elder gave a bitter smile and slightly raised his hand, about to surrender.

But a disciple suddenly spoke up.

"Elder, we can't lose!"

After those words, the other disciples seemed to recall something and began responding one after another.

"That's right, Elder, we can't lose!"

"If we lose, what will happen to my wife?"

"And my younger sister."

"My niece."

"My aunt..."

"My grandma..."

"Uh, seems like this has nothing to do with her old lady."

"..."

Hearing this, the Third Elder's body shook. He pressed his lips together and said no more, about to rise and continue fighting.

But at that moment, a mournful cry suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"My brother!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw a Hammer Man kneeling beside another Hammer Man lying unconscious on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Someone nearby tentatively extended a finger beneath the fallen man's nose, then quickly pulled it back with a swish.

"Dead... he's dead..."

the man said in a low voice.

Without a doubt, the disciple lying on the ground—perhaps not just him—had lost his life.

The Angel Legion had never truly attacked from beginning to end. In other words, they had all died beneath that Clear Sky Hammer that had gone out of control just now.

After realizing this, everyone immediately ran over to inspect the other unconscious disciples.

Before long, several relieved sighs rang out, followed by several bursts of crying.

Watching this scene, the Third Elder's gaze dimmed.

They could not fight anymore...

No matter what, they could not continue fighting.

"We surrender."

He raised his hand and spoke softly. Then, without looking at the Clear Sky Sect disciples or acknowledging the Angel Legion in the sky, he walked back toward the Clear Sky Sect camp alone with a dejected expression.

Upon reaching the camp, the Third Elder fell to his knees with a plop.

"It's all because I was too greedy..."

Not long after,

all the Clear Sky Hammer Men returned to camp, while the Angel Legion followed close behind, descending in great force. Their purpose was obvious.

But Tang Xiao suddenly stepped forward and looked toward the Spirit Hall camp, saying with little confidence, "The disciples sent by our Clear Sky Sect suffered casualties. You violated the rules, so this battle cannot count."

"Heh!"

Even Bibi Dong could not help laughing in anger at Tang Xiao's shameless appearance.

"Don't think I don't know why you didn't immediately stop it when you first noticed that the Clear Sky Hammer was losing control."

"You wanted to play along and strike back at the Angel Legion as hard as possible before stopping it, didn't you?"

"You are utterly shameless, and yet you are the master of a sect!"

Tang Xiao fell silent.

Ling Yuan then waved her hand and ordered the Angel Legion to move out, taking away every female Clear Sky Sect disciple except the old women.

Naturally, the scene once again erupted into wails and cries—

"Wife, don't leave me, wife!"

"Damn it! Xiao Xue, we haven't even gotten married yet, and you're still... Ah!"

"What are you yelling for? I'm the miserable one. I only got married last month, and now I'm about to be cuckolded..."

"Wuwuwu, damn it, you all had better be gentle and treat my younger sister well."

"You'd better not use too much force, or I, Tang Baitian, will make sure you don't have a good ending in the future..."

"Bastard Spirit Hall... no, I won't curse you anymore. I'll curse Tang Hao instead. Yes, bastard Tang Hao!"

"That's right, it's all Tang Hao's fault!"

"That damned troublemaker, that damned Ritian Tian dog thief, ahhh!"

"Hao thief, traitor, vile thief, rebel! You have scattered my wife and daughter, subjected all my sisters, aunts, and nieces to humiliation! I swear I will eat your flesh and sleep on your skin!"

Such sorrowful cries and curses rang out without end.

But none of it could change the fate of the female Clear Sky Sect disciples being taken away.

Before leaving,

the Angel Legion soared into the skies. With her back to the Clear Sky Sect, Ling Yuan suddenly thought of something and immediately called out loudly:

"Disordered Cloak Technique Secures the Realm—what a true case of losing both wives and troops! Ha~"

Upon hearing this, the Angel Legion also began shouting in response—

"Disordered Cloak Technique Secures the Realm, yet loses both wives and troops!"

"Disordered Cloak Technique Secures the Realm, yet loses both wives and troops!"

"Disordered Cloak Technique Secures the Realm, yet loses both wives and troops!"

"Hahahahaha—"

Tell me, when Feng Xiaotian fights God King Tang at the Continental Soul Master Tournament, do you think something interesting might happen?

Hehehe~
