Chapter 46 Coincidence? Tang Xiao Takes Action Personally!
Inside the Clear Sky Sect's meeting room.
Tang Xiao sat in the main seat with a furrowed brow, while the other seven elders of the Clear Sky Sect sat on either side, their expressions not looking good.
The Clear Sky Sect disciple who had come to report earlier was now standing at the very end of the round table, his face bruised and swollen, recounting all the information he knew.
"Hmph! This Qin Mu really doesn't know what's good for him!"
"We don't care about his lowly status. As long as he changes his name, we will make him a disciple of our Clear Sky Sect."
"But he was ungrateful. Not only did he leave us, but he also went and teamed up with the people from the Spirit Hall!"
"Who doesn't know that our Clear Sky Sect's relationship with the Spirit Hall is so tense right now?"
"He's completely ungrateful for his roots!"
The Seventh Elder angrily slammed his fist on the table. If the round table hadn't been made of a special, hard stone, it would probably have been reduced to dust long ago by the Seventh Elder's blows.
"Seventh Brother, don't worry, things might not be as bad as they seem."
Although the Fifth Elder was comforting the Seventh Elder, his expression was even more unpleasant than the Seventh Elder's.
Tang Xiao waved for the disciple to leave, sighed softly, and then spoke to the elders.
"The Fifth Elder is right. If Qin Mu really had any collusion with the Spirit Hall, or even joined the Spirit Hall, then the people of the Spirit Hall would definitely ask Qin Mu for the address of our Clear Sky Sect."
"But as of now, the Spirit Hall has no intention of sending troops against us, and no strange people have appeared near the sect in recent years."
"All of this proves that Qin Mu did not betray our location."
Tang Xiao, sitting in the main seat, expressed his judgment, and everyone present nodded in agreement after hearing it.
"However, as the Sect Master, I am ultimately responsible for the loss of such talent."
After speaking, Tang Xiao stood up and bowed deeply to the seven elders in front of him.
"Sect Master! What are you doing!"
"This can't be entirely blamed on you; your intentions were indeed not wrong!"
"It's normal that we were not informed in time due to our limited access to information."
The Second Elder, who was closest to Tang Xiao, reached out and helped Tang Xiao up, comforting him.
"Moreover, there is currently no substantial evidence to prove that Qin Mu has joined the Spirit Hall."
"We should immediately send someone to Heaven Dou City to find Qin Mu and persuade him to rejoin our Clear Sky Sect!"
"After all, when it comes to understanding and using the Clear Sky Hammer, no one can compare to our Clear Sky Sect!"
The elders reached a consensus and all hoped to bring Qin Mu back on behalf of the sect.
"Seventh brother, forget about it."
"You have too fiery a temper. What if you say something unpleasant and Qin Mu still refuses to become a disciple of our Clear Sky Sect?"
"Moreover, I've heard that the person from the Spirit Hall beside Qin Mu is also an elder of the Spirit Hall, so Seventh Brother's strength is still slightly inferior."
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder immediately became furious, but since he was indeed the weakest person present, he didn't know how to refute it.
"I'll go. After all, it was because I let Qin Mu go that Qin Mu's relationship with the Spirit Hall became so ambiguous."
Tang Xiao stepped forward to take responsibility. Considering that there might be people from the Spirit Hall who would obstruct them, after discussion, everyone decided to have the Fifth Elder accompany Tang Xiao to find Qin Mu.
Two Title Douluos were dispatched at the same time, one of whom was the current Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect.
As long as the Spirit Hall doesn't send out the elders from the Hall of Priests, they have the ability to protect themselves even when facing four Title Douluos at the same time.
It has been many years since the Spirit Hall has simultaneously deployed four Title Douluo or higher.
Just before their departure, the Fifth Elder suddenly asked Tang Xiao about something.
"Sect Master, do you remember when Qin Mu left us?"
"It was probably six years ago? I'm not sure about the exact time. At the time, I thought he would continue to live down the mountain, but I didn't expect that after leaving the Clear Sky Sect, he would leave here immediately."
Thinking of this, Tang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
He never expected that Qin Mu would leave the village immediately after that meeting.
By the time they were ready to send someone to bring Qin Mu up the mountain again for a proper discussion, Qin Mu had already been gone for several months.
"Sect Master, do you remember a major event that happened that year?"
The Fifth Elder turned his head and glanced at the empty entrance of the Clear Sky Sect behind him, and continued, "Regarding the matter of Tang Hao."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao's annoyed expression vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely complex and indescribable look.
Since the incident between Tang Hao and the Spirit Hall broke out, Tang Hao's name has almost become a taboo name for the Clear Sky Sect.
However, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao are brothers. Although on the surface he is just as dissatisfied with Tang Hao as the other elders, he can't help but miss and worry about him.
Tang Xiao naturally knew about the matter that the Fifth Elder mentioned.
The Spirit Hall dispatched ten Title Douluos to besiege Tang Hao!
Upon hearing this news, Tang Xiao couldn't help but immediately set off to help his brother.
But as the head of a sect, he had many things to consider.
If their actions in helping Tang Hao escalate the conflict between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall, then the two brothers will become utter sinners of the Clear Sky Sect!
Fortunately, Tang Hao managed to break through the encirclement with his own strength and did not fall into the hands of the Spirit Hall.
Although there are still many doubts about this matter, there are some things that Tang Xiao still cannot figure out.
But at least Tang Hao was still alive, which put Tang Xiao at ease.
"Hmm, I remember now. That damned bastard was really lucky."
Tang Xiao tried his best to answer the Fifth Elder in a calm voice, but his voice still trembled slightly.
The Fifth Elder did not notice these differences in Tang Xiao, and asked after a slight hesitation.
"Sect Master, according to the timeline, the Spirit Hall launched this siege a few months after Qin Mu left the Clear Sky Sect."
"Could it be that Qin Mu is involved in this siege by the Spirit Hall?"
Hearing the Fifth Elder's words, Tang Xiao immediately began to consider this possibility, but soon he shook his head.
"That's probably impossible."
"Leaving aside the possibility that Qin Mu would do such a thing, even I don't know where Tang Hao went afterward."
"How old was Qin Mu six years ago? Six years old! And he only had level ten soul power. Where did he get Tang Hao's position from?"
"Moreover, Qin Mu was only three years old when the incident with the Spirit Hall occurred. He had never even seen Tang Hao before, so how could he possibly recognize him?"
The Fifth Elder nodded in agreement with Tang Xiao's answer.
"Could this really be a coincidence?"
