If You, Tai Tan, Want to Be the Tang Clan's Dog, I Won't!

"Re... report to the three clan leaders!"

A scout from the Speed Clan crawled over, stumbling and falling to his knees with a sob.

"The count is in. Of the nearly one thousand elite clansmen our Four Single-Attribute Clans brought into the city, less than thirty percent made it out."

As he spoke, the scout's body trembled. He hesitated before adding, "And... Clan Leader Yang Wudi, he... he was killed in action. We couldn't even recover his body!"

The words struck like a bolt of lightning.

"The, the Old Goat is dead?!"

Niu Gao's eyes turned bloodshot. He slammed a palm into a nearby giant tree, shattering the trunk—which was thick enough for two men to embrace—into splinters!

"Crack!"

The exertion caused his chest wound to burst open again, and blood sprayed wildly.

But he didn't care about the pain. He pointed toward Heaven Dou City, roaring like a madman, "To hell with Tang San! To hell with the Upper Three Sects!"

"I originally thought that following that brat Tang San would restore our clan's glory."

"But they actually abandoned us and ran!"

Niu Gao was furious. He was filled with resentment over the flight of Tang San and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

It reminded him of how the Clear Sky Sect had once pushed the four clans out to act as a shield against Spirit Hall.

"He treated our four clans as cannon fodder, leaving us in the city to act as meat shields for Qian Renxue."

"The Old Goat died a miserable death, and we lost seventy percent of our elites. Is this Tang San's 'loyalty and righteousness'?"

"Is this the brotherly, flesh-and-blood affection he kept preaching to us?"

Niu Gao's eyes were bloodshot, his spit flying as he screamed. His composure had completely shattered!

Beside him, Tai Tan heard Niu Gao insulting Tang San and Tang Hao and suddenly stood up.

He glared, roaring, "Old Rhino, stop spouting your nonsense here!"

Tai Tan's fists cracked as he clenched them, his face flushed as he argued, "What the Young Master did back then was a strategic withdrawal."

"Didn't you see how terrifyingly strange that Qian Renxue was?"

"Even the two Super Douluo, Sword and Bone, couldn't stop her. If the Young Master didn't leave, was he supposed to stay and wait for death?"

"The Young Master is the Master's only bloodline!"

"He will surely avenge the Old Goat in the future! He will wipe away the shame of our four clans!"

"We should be loyal to the Master. I won't allow you to smear the Young Master's name!"

"Loyalty? I think you, you old orangutan, are just an old dog raised by Tang Hao!"

Niu Gao pointed at Tai Tan's nose and cursed.

"If you're willing to use your clansmen's lives to play the sycophant, I'm done!"

"The Old Goat is dead, and hundreds of my Defense Clan's warriors have no bodies left to bury."

"If Tang San is truly loyal and righteous, why did he abandon us to run away alone?"

"A double-standard hypocrite! Despicable!"

"You're courting death!"

Tai Tan was enraged. His violent soul power exploded, and he prepared to attack Niu Gao.

"Enough! Both of you, shut your mouths!"

Bai He shouted sternly. He stepped between them, his eyes red and his body shaking.

"The Old Goat's body isn't even cold, and our clansmen are still bleeding. Why are you two old bones fighting here?"

"Do you think our four clans haven't died enough?"

Bai He took a deep breath, suppressing the sorrow in his heart, and said bitterly, "Old Rhino, although Tang San ran, he is still my grandson-in-law."

"As for this matter... sigh, the situation was extremely dangerous. The Young Master was likely powerless to do anything."

"Powerless?" Niu Gao sneered repeatedly. "Ha, you just keep protecting him!"

He turned his head away, his face full of disappointment.

Just then, another burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the dense forest!

"Three clan leaders, it's bad!"

"Urgent report from Heaven Dou City!"

Another blood-soaked Speed Clan scout stumbled and collapsed at their feet.

He clutched a flyer he had torn down from Heaven Dou City!

Tai Tan snatched the flyer and scanned it roughly. He immediately began to howl in rage:

"Too much! This is too much!"

"Those animals from Spirit Hall have actually pinned every unsolved case and crime in Heaven Dou City on the heads of the Master, Tang Hao, and the Young Master!"

"Give it to me!"

Bai He snatched the flyer, wanting to see what crimes Spirit Hall had listed.

The more he read, the uglier his face became.

However, when his gaze fell to the very end of the execution list, his expression changed drastically.

"Boom!"

Bai He's body shook violently, and his face turned paler than a corpse's!

The paper in his hands even emitted a harsh tearing sound from his trembling grip!

"Old White Bird, what's wrong? Why is your face so pale?" Niu Gao asked with a frown.

Bai He gritted his teeth, his lips trembling. In a voice filled with a near-sobbing, extreme terror, he read the line on the flyer:

"Tomorrow at noon, the following criminals will be publicly beheaded: Heaven Dou Emperor Xue Ye, Prince Xue Xing, Princess Xue Ke, and..."

Bai He swallowed a mouthful of blood-tinged saliva, his eyes nearly popping out of his sockets: "And the sister of the criminal Tang Hao, the Mistress of Moon Pavilion—Tang Yuehua!"

"!!!"

The entire forest fell into a deathly, pin-drop silence!

Tai Tan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Niu Gao's eyes nearly bulged out as he roared in disbelief, "Who did you say? Tang Yuehua?!"

"How... how could she have been captured?"

"She's just an ordinary woman with only nine levels of soul power!"

The scout lay on the ground, shivering as he reported, "Reporting to the clan leader, scouts saw someone personally storm the Moon Pavilion, forcibly capture Lady Tang Yuehua, and drag her away in blood chains!"

"Spirit Hall has charged her with infiltrating the Heaven Dou nobility as the sister of Tang Hao to conspire against the Heaven Dou Empire!"

Hearing this, Tai Tan, Niu Gao, and Bai He looked at each other.

The three of them felt an indescribable, icy chill rush from the soles of their feet to their scalps.

"They're mad! Spirit Hall has absolutely lost its mind!"

"That is the Master's own sister. How could they dare?"

"How could they dare to publicly behead the eldest lady of the Clear Sky Sect?!"

Tai Tan roared at the top of his lungs!

But Bai He, after the initial shock, instantly saw through the cruel and vicious conspiracy behind it!

"This isn't just an execution; it's an overt plot, a trap!"

Niu Gao gasped, cold sweat soaking his clothes. "That devil Qian Renxue is deliberately using Tang Yuehua as bait. She's clearly trying to force Tang Hao and Tang San to go to Heaven Dou City to save her!"

"If Tang San and Tang Hao go to save her, Heaven Dou City has already set a net from which there is no escape. Going there is just walking into a trap."

"And if Tang San and Tang Hao don't dare to save her..."

Niu Gao looked at Tai Tan, his eyes cruel and biting. "Then Tang San's hypocritical mask of loyalty and righteousness will be completely shattered!"

"The whole continent will know that Tang San is a coward who didn't even dare to show his face when his own aunt was being beheaded! A double-standard dog!"

"This move is vicious to the extreme."

Listening to the analysis of Bai He and Niu Gao, Tai Tan felt cold all over and collapsed to the ground.

Tomorrow at noon!

The Heaven Dou City execution ceremony!

Facing this inescapable death trap laid by Qian Sha Yu, how would he respond?

As for Tang San, who had fled back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, would he dare to step onto that Heaven Dou guillotine of certain death?!
