Niu Gao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and said in a deep voice, "So what do you mean?"
Yang Wudi glanced at the two people present and said, "Regardless of what you think, my Breaking Clan has decided to join the Xuejun Pavilion and cooperate with them. As for the Clear Sky Sect? If they can resurrect my thousand dead clansmen, I will return."
A flicker of struggle crossed Niu Gao's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Have you all considered what would happen if the Clear Sky Sect were to emerge and directly attack our three sects?"
Yang Wudi sneered, "Then we'll resist with our own strength. Are we afraid of them? Besides, with the Xuejun Pavilion and the Spirit Hall around, would the Clear Sky Sect really dare to make a move?"
Just as the three were discussing, a disciple entered the hall and said to Niu Gao, "Clan leader, two more people have arrived outside. They say they are from the Clear Sky Sect and wish to see you."
Niu Gao's expression instantly turned serious. He said in a deep voice, "Two people? From the Clear Sky Sect? What are their names?"
The disciple shook his head and said, "They wouldn't give their names, only that they're here to see you."
Yang Wudi and Bai He's expressions also became serious.
Niu Gao took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said, "I understand. I'll go see them now." With that, he strode out of the council hall.
Yang Wudi watched his retreating figure and couldn't help but say, " Niu Gao, be careful." Niu Gao didn't turn around, but simply raised his hand to indicate that he had heard her.
When he arrived at the door, he saw two people standing there. He recognized one of them as Tang Hao, the Tang Hao Clear Sky Douluo, and beside him was a young man whose face resembled his own; he must be Tang Hao's son.
Niu Gao's heart was instantly filled with shock. He never expected that the successor of the Clear Sky Sect would personally come to their four sects.
Niu Gao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and fear in his heart, and walked up to Tang Hao.
" Tang Hao, how dare you show your face before me?" Niu Gao said in a deep voice. Tang Hao looked at him, a complex light flashing in his eyes. " Niu Gao, it's been a long time."
Niu Gao said coldly, "What brings you here today?" Tang Hao turned to the boy and said, "This is my son, Tang San." Niu Gao looked at the boy, his heart stirred slightly, but his expression remained stern.
"Hello, Grandpa Niu Gao." Tang San greeted him politely.
Niu Gao nodded slightly, "What brings you here?"
Tang Hao gave him a deep look. "I'm here to invite you back to the Clear Sky Sect."
Niu Gao's pupils contracted instantly. "Return? Back then, you directly closed your sects and abandoned the four of us." Tang Hao's expression changed slightly. "That was a misunderstanding. Since our Clear Sky Sect closed its sects, we have been working hard to reopen them, but back then we abandoned the four of you sects, causing countless deaths and injuries. This is also our guilt."
Niu Gao's heart stirred. He remembered that Tang Hao was a responsible person who would not easily break his promise.
"Then can you restore us to our former status?" he asked.
Tang Hao looked at him and said, "We can offer you better conditions, but you may need to earn your own status back then."
Niu Gao's heart was pounding, filled with hesitation. He could sense Tang Hao's sincerity, but if they returned to the Clear Sky Sect, it would mean a complete break with the Xuejun Pavilion.
"I need time to think about it," he said. Tang Hao nodded slightly. "I understand your hesitation. But I want to remind you that time may not wait for anyone."
"The patriarchs of the other two clans are also here with me. Would you like to have a chat with them?" Niu Gao asked.
"Good."
Tang Hao and Tang San followed Niu Gao into the council hall, where Yang Wudi and Bai He were anxiously waiting. Their expressions turned grim upon seeing Tang Hao.
" Tang Hao, how dare you show your face in front of us?" Yang Wudi said in a deep voice.
Tang Hao looked at him and said calmly, " Yang Wudi, it's been a long time."
Bai He looked at Tang San beside Tang Hao and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"
Tang Hao introduced, "This is my son, Tang San."
Bai He and Yang Wudi couldn't help but glance at Tang San again, secretly admiring him.
Tang Hao looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "I've come here this time hoping that you can return to the Clear Sky Sect."
Yang Wudi and Bai He's expressions both turned ugly.
" Tang Hao, back then you directly closed your sect and abandoned the four sects. Do you know how many disciples of my Breaking Clan died? Returning to the Clear Sky Sect? Ha, don't even think about it!" Yang Wudi said coldly.
Tang Hao looked intently at Yang Wudi, a flicker of pain and regret in his eyes. " Yang Wudi, I know our actions have caused you immense harm, and I acknowledge our mistakes. Over the years, our Clear Sky Sect has been striving to make amends for our past errors."
We are now ready to return, and the Clear Sky Sect is stronger than ever before. We hope to welcome you and work together for the prosperity of the Clear Sky Sect.
Yang Wudi sneered, "That sounds nice, 'The grudge from back then is irreconcilable.' No matter how strong your sect is, it has nothing to do with us."
Tang Hao's expression changed slightly. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, " Yang Wudi, I know you have grievances, but I hope you can consider this. Our Clear Sky Sect is not just about strength; we also have beliefs and principles. We hope to bring peace and justice to this world."
"That sounds nice, but let me tell you, I've already decided to join the Xuejun Pavilion and the Clear Sky Sect. Hah." Yang Wudi sneered, directly rejecting Tang Hao.
Tang Hao's expression changed slightly at Yang Wudi's resolute refusal. He lowered his gaze and remained silent for a moment. " Yang Wudi, do you know the consequences of your decision?" His deep voice carried a sense of sorrow and determination. "Consequences? My Breaking Clan has never feared any consequences!" Yang Wudi straightened his chest and coldly replied. Tang Hao gave Yang Wudi a deep look, then turned to the other two sect leaders, wanting to know their opinions.
"My Speed Clan has already decided to join the Xuejun Pavilion, and I cannot risk the remaining members of my clan any longer," the Bai He said slowly.
Niu Gao looked at Yang Wudi and Bai He in front of him and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He understood that Yang Wudi and Bai He had given up on the Clear Sky Sect and did not want to return to the place that had once brought them pain.
He sighed, looked at Tang Hao, and said, " Tang Hao, our three sects have decided to join the Xuejun Pavilion. I hope you can understand our decision." Tang Hao was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"I understand your decision," his voice was slightly hoarse, "But I still hope you can reconsider. While the Xuejun Pavilion is powerful, their goals are not entirely aligned with our Clear Sky Sect. We hope to bring true peace and justice to this world, not to pursue power."
Niu Gao nodded slightly, "We know. But we believe in the Xuejun Pavilion; they can give our three sects a better future."
"Well said! The three clan leaders are indeed insightful. My Xuejun Pavilion will certainly not let down the three clans."
