Chapter 446 The Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall formally declare war, and Alliance is formed.
" Sect Master Tang, do you really want to start a war with the Spirit Hall by doing this?" Xue Qinghe calmly looked at Salas's decapitated corpse and asked indifferently.
"The emergence of the Clear Sky Sect this time is precisely to allow the continent..."
The Clear Sky Sect's re-emergence is to let the continent once again recognize Clear Sky Sect strength. We have been in seclusion for many years, but our spirit and our power remain undiminished. The Clear Sky Sect is not a weak and easily bullied lamb; we have our pride and dignity.
Tang Xiao's words were firm and powerful, each one striking the heart of everyone present.
Xue Qinghe silently watched Tang Xiao, lost in thought. After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he bowed to Tang Xiao and said, " Sect Master Tang, if the Clear Sky Sect really wants to declare war on the Spirit Hall, then our Heaven Dou Empire will be the Clear Sky Sect's most loyal ally." Xue Qinghe's tone was firm, and his eyes were full of sincerity.
" Emperor Qinghe, you are indeed a great ruler." Tang Xiao smiled faintly. He knew that Xue Qinghe's understanding and support would be an important help to the Clear Sky Sect in the future. Tang Xiao turned his head and looked at Ning Fengzhi, his gaze full of meaning.
He knew that Ning Fengzhi was also a discerning person, and he believed that Ning Fengzhi would make the right choice.
" Sect Master Ning, is there anything you wish to say?" Tang Xiao asked calmly. Ning Fengzhi looked at Tang Xiao silently, his gaze filled with contemplation.
" Sect Master Tang, I believe in your determination and strength, but the Clear Sky Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire alone are not enough to fight against the Spirit Hall," Ning Fengzhi said slowly.
"So what do you mean?" Tang Xiao asked.
" The Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire have been fighting for many years. It's time for them to put aside their temporary grudges, unite, and fight together against the Spirit Hall."
Tang Xiao nodded slightly, looking at Ning Fengzhi with a deep light in his eyes, as if deep in thought. " Sect Master Ning, your suggestion is very correct," Tang Xiao said slowly, "However, the relationship between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire is complicated. How should we mediate between them?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said softly, " Sect Master Tang, in this world, there are no absolute enemies, nor are there absolute friends. Only common interests are the most reliable bond. We can make the Star Luo Empire realize the wolfish ambitions of the Spirit Hall, and then it will form an alliance with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Clear Sky Sect." Tang Xiao looked deeply at Ning Fengzhi, then nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe said, "Teacher, Qinghe will do his best to make this happen. The current Star Luo Empire of Xingluo has met me a few times and was also a comrade-in-arms with Tang San. I believe he should be very willing to facilitate the Alliance."
"Yes, the Imperial Advisor once guided the Star Luo Empire in his cultivation. He is the most suitable person to handle the persuasion. As for the specifics of the Alliance, let's discuss them in the palace."
"Good."
The long-lost name, Clear Sky Sect, once again resounded in people's mouths. This time, however, it brought not the past seclusion and fading into obscurity, but a declaration of war. Salas's death was like a spark falling into a parched grassland, instantly igniting the situation on the continent. The dignity of the Spirit Hall was challenged; their Platinum Bishop had been beheaded right before their eyes—a warning to the Spirit Hall.
However, this did not cause any significant cracks in the Spirit Hall's rule. On the contrary, they reacted swiftly, declaring martial law across the entire continent and ordering all Spirit Hall members to be ready to act at any time. At the same time, they also warned the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, urging them not to easily get involved in this potential conflict.
The Spirit Hall's warning did not de-escalate the situation. On the contrary, Yu Xiaogang's lobbying efforts within the Star Luo Empire were very successful, Star Luo Empire quickly agreed to cooperate with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Clear Sky Sect.
After the Star Luo Empire agreed to form an alliance, the situation became clearer. The alliance between the Clear Sky Sect, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire put unprecedented pressure on the Spirit Hall. However, this did not cause the Spirit Hall to give up its resistance.
They began actively preparing for war, and the martial law across the continent allowed them to concentrate and utilize their strength to the maximum extent. At the same time, they also began secretly seeking new forces, hoping to break this seemingly stable Alliance.
Papal Palace, Bibi Dong looked at the urgent letters that were arriving one after another, her face full of smiles.
"We've finally waited for this day of your Alliance. Next, we'll wipe you all out in one fell swoop. Xue'er is truly amazing. In just one month, this so-called ' Alliance ' has already been established. The Spirit Hall's unification of the continent is inseparable from Xue'er's efforts over the years," Bibi Dong exclaimed.
"But Jun Yi's breakthrough took way too long, didn't it? How long has he been gone? Almost half a month, and he still hasn't returned. Could he be keeping another woman on the side?"
Bibi Dong suddenly remembered Jun Yi. He left the Papal Palace half a month ago, saying that he was about to break through to the Titled Douluo and had to leave for a while, but there has been no news of him since.
"The New Year is almost here. By this time next year, the entire Douluo Continent will probably be under the rule of the Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong stretched, her eyes full of leisure; she didn't take the Clear Sky Sect and the Star Luo Empire seriously at all.
Snowflakes drifted down outside the window, illuminating the brightly lit Papal Palace. Bibi Dong stood by the window, her gaze piercing through the vast snow, as if she could see the future Douluo Continent, a prosperous land belonging to the Spirit Hall. A sudden knock on the door interrupted Bibi Dong thoughts. She straightened up and said, "Come in."
The door was gently pushed open, and a messenger dressed in the attire of the Spirit Hall entered, bowing respectfully as he said, " Pope Holiness, your letter."
Bibi Dong accepted the letter, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You may leave now." The messenger respectfully withdrew from the Papal Palace. Bibi Dong looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar envelope, feeling somewhat puzzled. She opened the envelope, and the contents of the letter surprised Bibi Dong.
The letter stated. "A consensus has been reached within the Alliance: Yu Xiaogang will serve as the Alliance's national advisor, and Ning Fengzhi will be a decision-making participant. Tang San has embarked on the path to godhood, while the Clear Sky Sect is still searching for Tang Chen's whereabouts."
Bibi Dong's originally smiling face was now filled with doubt.
"Whose letter is this? Could there be a spy from the Spirit Hall within the Clear Sky Sect that I don't know about? He was the one who told me about the Clear Sky Sect's emergence last time. Who is he? And what is his purpose in doing this?"
She looked at the letter in her hand. The handwriting was so neat that it was impossible to tell who wrote it. The envelope also had nothing special about it, which made it impossible for Bibi Dong to find out where the letter came from.
