"Tang Lie! You still dare to say that!"
Tang Xiao's eyes were bloodshot now, and he was panting like an ox.
The Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand, and he hurled it straight at Tang Lie.
Seeing this, the Third Elder hurriedly shouted, summoning his own Clear Sky Hammer and moving to intercept Tang Xiao.
"Tang Xiao! Get ahold of yourself!"
When Tang Lie saw that Tang Xiao actually dared to attack, he immediately stood up.
"Tang Xiao, you actually dared to attack! Do you have any respect for us elders? You're defying the sect's rules! Third Brother, let's take him down together!"
Hearing Tang Lie still fanning the flames beside him, the Third Elder could not have regretted this more. Why had he insisted on wading into these muddy waters? If he had not come along, none of this aggravation would have fallen on him.
The Third Elder turned toward Tang Lie behind him and said angrily,
"Seventh Brother, get out!"
"Third Brother..."
"Get out!"
Seeing how adamant the Third Elder was, Tang Lie realized that Tang Xiao might truly mean business and slunk out of the room.
Meanwhile, tears were already streaming down Tang Yuehua's face. She had never imagined that after all these years of pouring her heart and soul into the Clear Sky Sect, this would be her reward.
A profound sense of helplessness surged through her. She knew Tang Lie's proposal had not been a spur-of-the-moment idea. With his brains, he could never have thought it up himself.
The other elders must have discussed this beforehand. If that was truly the case, it was as good as pronouncing her death sentence.
Because there was no changing the outcome. Not only was she powerless to resist, but even Tang Xiao might not help her when
