Chapter 49 Tang Yuehua
"Brother Hao, how are you feeling now?"
Tang Hao vaguely heard someone calling him and struggled to open his eyes.
A familiar face came into view, which made his tense nerves relax a little.
"Cough cough... Big brother, I'm fine for now."
Despite this, Tang Hao was filled with humiliation and anger.
He, the mighty Haotian Douluo, was beaten so badly that he was powerless to fight back.
More importantly, everything that happened in the Star Dou Great Forest has become an indelible memory for him.
Now that he has nowhere else to turn, he has no choice but to shamelessly return to the Haotian Sect, which he had implicated in the past.
Tang Xiao's worry lessened slightly, but seeing Tang Hao's empty left leg and right arm still caused him a pang of pain.
"Brother Hao, with your strength, who could have injured you to such an extent? Could it be the Spirit Hall's doing?"
Just as Tang Hao was about to answer, the door was suddenly smashed open with a loud "bang".
"Tang Hao, how dare you return to the Clear Sky Sect! Even Tang Xiao can't protect you today!"
Led by the Seventh Elder, the Haotian Sect members stormed into the room, glaring angrily at Tang Hao on the bed.
Tang Xiao quickly stood up, blocking Tang Hao's path, and said in a deep voice, "Are you trying to rebel? How dare you trespass into the sect leader's room!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly released his soul power at the level of a Title Douluo, attempting to intimidate everyone.
However, the Seventh Elder sneered and nodded to the disciples beside him who were only at the Great Soul Master level.
Those powerful Soul Masters showed no fear as they approached Tang Xiao and Tang Hao step by step.
"Tang Xiao, although I am no match for you, would you dare to attack your fellow disciples for the sake of this traitor, Tang Hao?"
A smug look appeared on the Seventh Elder's face.
He hadn't been idle these past few days; instead, he secretly gathered disciples from sects whose relatives had been killed by the Spirit Hall because of Tang Hao.
All of these people harbored deep hatred for Tang Hao.
The parents of the several Great Soul Masters who stepped forward at this moment were killed by the Spirit Hall.
All of this started because of Tang Hao.
Upon seeing that the newcomers were only Great Soul Masters, Tang Xiao quickly withdrew his soul power, fearing that he might accidentally injure them.
"Stop right now! In the name of the sect leader, I order you to leave this room!"
However, the several Great Soul Masters did not stop; instead, they stared intently at Tang Hao.
"Sect Master, my parents both died because of that traitor Tang Hao. Now that our enemy is right before our eyes, how can you expect me to remain calm?"
"Disobeying the sect leader's orders is disloyalty, and failing to avenge our parents is unfilial piety. Does the sect leader want us to become disloyal and unfilial people?"
"Sect Leader, as long as you hand over the traitor Tang Hao to us, you will still be the sect leader we respect!"
Their voices were powerful and resonant, each word piercing to the heart.
These words were all instigated by the Seventh Elder beforehand, but they are also the truth.
Their purpose in doing this was to force Tang Xiao to back down.
Sure enough, Tang Xiao's body trembled upon hearing this.
His gaze was sharp as a knife, fixed intently on the Seventh Elder.
The Seventh Elder did not back down, meeting Tang Xiao's gaze without fear of his murderous eyes.
"Seventh Elder, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you instigating them to make such remarks to incite internal strife within the sect?"
"Hmph! Nonsense?" The Seventh Elder sneered, clenching his fists. "Their loved ones all died because of Tang Hao. What's wrong with seeking revenge?"
Tang Xiao was speechless for a moment. Looking at the hateful gazes behind the Seventh Elder, he felt overwhelmed with guilt.
As the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, he knew better than anyone the hatred these disciples harbored for Tang Hao.
However, Tang Hao was still his younger brother, and he couldn't bear to watch his brother fall into a desperate situation.
"Hmph, Seventh Elder, how to punish Brother Hao is not a decision you and I can make alone. If we are to try him, the entire sect must participate in the trial."
Tang Xiao also understood that continuing to forcefully protect Tang Hao would only backfire.
However, not everyone in the Haotian Sect hated Tang Hao.
Therefore, Tang Hao can only have a chance of survival if he lets the entire clan make the decision.
Seeing that Tang Xiao had backed down, the Seventh Elder accepted the proposal and let the entire sect vote on how to deal with Tang Hao.
Tang Xiao is ultimately the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, and his strength is currently the strongest in the sect.
If you anger him, it won't benefit anyone.
"Hmph, I hope the sect leader will stop protecting this traitor. Otherwise, it will discourage the sect and cause internal strife, which will be your problem. Let's go."
The Seventh Elder hurriedly led his men away to prepare the venue; it was time to put Tang Hao on trial.
Tang Hao stared resentfully at the Seventh Elder's back, a murderous intent surging deep in his eyes.
"If I were still in my prime, you wouldn't dare utter a single word in front of me!"
It's a pity he's no longer at his peak; now he can only roar in frustration in his heart.
The latest novel is first published here!
Tang Xiao sighed and said to Tang Hao, "Brother Hao, this is the rule of the Haotian Sect. I can protect you for a while, but not forever."
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao immediately put on a wronged expression: "Big brother, are you going to abandon me too?!"
Tang Xiao would certainly not abandon him, but he would not take action against the sect disciples either.
So I came up with a compromise.
"Brother Hao, if the people in the sect really want to kill you, I will lead you to break out of the encirclement."
Tang Hao nodded repeatedly; this was his good older brother.
However, he didn't consider what would happen to him if Tang Xiao did this.
After all, not everyone is as irresponsible as Tang Hao, and Tang Xiao will take responsibility for his actions.
Soon, all the prominent figures from the Haotian Sect appeared.
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's younger sister, Tang Yuehua, also rushed back to Haotian Sect without stopping.
Perhaps this will be the last time she sees Tang Hao.
"We're back too late. Is the trial already about to begin?" Tang Yuehua was extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
As the head of the Yuexuan Pavilion, a court etiquette unit of the Heaven Dou Empire, she was followed by soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire behind her received an order from Emperor Xue Ye.
"Captain, His Majesty has ordered us to send a message to the Haotian Sect. Are we to follow Master Tang directly into the Haotian Sect?"
The captain thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Let's see what the situation is like first. After all, it seems that something big has happened to the Haotian Sect as well."
As a reclusive sect, even the Heavenly Dou Empire would not easily provoke them.
As expected, the soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire were blocked as soon as they arrived outside the Haotian Sect.
Tang Yuehua whispered to the disciple of Haotian Sect, "He is my bodyguard. Let him come into Haotian Sect with me."
The disciples of the Haotian Sect, seeing that the man was only a Soul Emperor, gave Tang Yuehua face and let him in.
After all, she is the sect leader Tang Xiao's own sister.
Tang Yuehua led the captain quickly into the Haotian Sect.
At this point, all the prominent figures in the clan had made their appearance.
Tang Hao was escorted to the execution platform in full view of everyone, ready for a public trial.
Tang Xiao felt heartbroken looking at Tang Hao, but now he could only wait for the outcome.
Soon, the elders of the Haotian Sect appeared together, looking down at Tang Hao from their high positions.
The Seventh Elder was the first to stand up, glaring angrily at Tang Hao.
"Tang Hao, in the past, for your own selfish reasons, you caused countless disciples of the Clear Sky Sect to suffer undeserved calamities. Do you know your crime?!"
