Subsequently, Tang Xiao's expression hardened, and he stood up and walked out.
“Let’s go, Little San, you come with me to see the Elders, explain the situation to them, and see what their opinions are.”
“If the majority agrees to emerge, then our Clear Sky Sect will go and test Spirit Hall!”
After that, Tang Xiao led Tang San to the Sect’s main hall. Of course, calling it a main hall, it was just a larger wooden house.
After all, they were deep in the mountains, so they couldn’t demand too much.
While Tang Xiao and Tang San were on their way, they had already sent people to inform the Sect’s Five Great Elders, so the two of them didn’t wait long in the hall before the five arrived one after another.
“Sect Master, may I ask why you have summoned us old fellows?”
After everyone had arrived, the Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, who was leading them, asked Tang Xiao the reason for summoning them.
Tang Xiao didn’t answer himself, but turned to look at Tang San.
“Little San, tell the Elders everything that happened before.”
After Tang Xiao finished speaking, before Tang San could utter a sound, the Five Elders all frowned.
They naturally knew who Tang San was; when Tang San had returned to the Sect before, he had caused quite a stir.
It could be said that if it weren't for Tang Xiao's strong protection, and Tang San's own good talent, they would have long ago abolished his Spirit and expelled him from the Clear Sky Sect.
But now, the reason Tang Xiao had summoned them was actually related to Tang San?
Although the Five Elders’ expressions were not right, Tang San didn’t care that much. As if he couldn’t see it, he directly repeated what he had said to Tang Xiao earlier.
After Tang San finished speaking, the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect sneered, looking at Tang San with an unfriendly gaze.
“Heh, your damned father back then caused the Clear Sky Sect heavy casualties and forced it into seclusion. Now you want to bring disaster again. Do you want the Clear Sky Sect to be annihilated?”
“Hiding from Spirit Hall by relying on Star Luo? That’s a nice thought, but have you considered what if Spirit Hall doesn’t care about Star Luo’s attitude and directly makes a move?”
“Then the people from our Clear Sky Sect who go out might not be able to return, and this incident might even cause Spirit Hall to attack the Clear Sky Sect’s mountain gate!”
“Or are you trying to make the Clear Sky Sect a stepping stone for your own glory and wealth, to pave your way?”
Regarding the words of the Clear Sky Sect’s Seventh Elder, Tang San remained noncommittal and did not retort. Instead, he said calmly:
“Seventh Elder is right, this trip indeed might cause Spirit Hall to make a move. But if the Clear Sky Sect doesn't emerge now, when else can it wait?”
“Wait until Spirit Hall announces to the continent that they will no longer trouble the Clear Sky Sect, and then emerge? Is that it?”
“First, let’s not talk about whether Spirit Hall will issue such an announcement as the Seventh Elder wishes. Even if they do, it will be many years from now. Can the Clear Sky Sect afford to wait?”
“Furthermore, if Spirit Hall doesn’t care about the Clear Sky Sect and forgets about this matter, do we have to keep waiting? Until the end of time, until the seas run dry and rocks crumble?”
The Seventh Elder’s face instantly flushed red. He slammed his hand on the table, his spirit power surged, erupting with the pressure of a Titled Douluo.
“You… you insolent brat!”
What Tang San said, the most obvious meaning, was that he, the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, was scared by Spirit Hall. How could he not be angry?
Was he afraid of Spirit Hall? His eldest son died because of Spirit Hall; he couldn't wait to get revenge, so how could he be afraid?
He just didn't want the people of the Clear Sky Sect to sacrifice themselves in vain. Of course, most importantly, he deeply resented Tang Hao, and therefore, he found Tang San equally an eyesore.
“Alright, Old Seven, if you can’t control your emotions, go back first. We’ll notify you after we’ve discussed it.”
The Second Elder frowned, looking at the Seventh Elder, who was seething with rage and wished he could smack Tang San to death.
In his opinion, since Tang San had already returned to the Sect, he was family. Why hold on to grudges?
Although his father had committed a wrong, that had nothing to do with Tang San. After all, Tang Hao was still alive; it wasn’t time for the son to pay for the father’s debts yet.
Moreover, although Tang San’s words were unpleasant, they actually made some sense. If the Clear Sky Sect only emerged after Spirit Hall had made an announcement, the Clear Sky Sect certainly couldn’t afford to wait.
Hearing the Second Elder’s words, the Seventh Elder took two heavy breaths, snorted coldly, and then withdrew his pressure.
There were two reasons why he let the matter drop so easily: first, the Second Elder had spoken, and he couldn’t object.
Second, he also understood that what Tang San said indeed made sense, and he couldn’t hinder the Sect’s development for his own selfish reasons.
Seeing the Seventh Elder calm down, the Second Elder turned to Tang Xiao.
“What are your plans regarding this matter, Sect Master?”
Tang Xiao’s expression was calm as he spoke:
“I believe we can use this opportunity to test Spirit Hall’s attitude. Otherwise, if our Clear Sky Sect keeps staying in these deep mountains, there will be no talk of development.”
The Second Elder nodded. In fact, Tang Xiao’s intention was already clear when he brought Tang San over, but it was still necessary to ask.
Then he looked at the other four Elders and said solemnly:
“Since the Sect Master has agreed, let’s vote by a show of hands. If two more people agree, then this matter will be settled!”
Currently, including Sect Master Tang Xiao, the Clear Sky Sect has a total of six Titled Douluo. Therefore, when major decisions are made, they are decided by a vote of the six.
Sect Master Tang Xiao has two votes, while the remaining Five Elders each have one vote.
The four Elders exchanged glances, seeing the eagerness in each other’s eyes. They had been waiting for the Clear Sky Sect to lift its ban and emerge for many years!
So the final vote result was a unanimous pass. Even the Seventh Elder, who disliked Tang San the most, did not object on this matter.
“Since all Five Elders agree, I announce that the Clear Sky Sect is officially lifting its ban and emerging!”
“Little San, you return to Star Luo City first and tell your classmate to inform the Xingluo Emperor that the Clear Sky Sect is about to emerge and assist him in attacking Heaven Dou.”
“We will arrange personnel in the Sect and then arrive.”
Tang Xiao saw that all Five Elders had raised their hands in agreement, his expression hardened, and he stood up to announce the Clear Sky Sect’s official emergence.
Then he turned to Tang San, telling him to go to Star Luo City first to make preparations to welcome the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect who would be emerging.
Tang San didn’t waste words. He bowed to Tang Xiao and respectfully said:
“Yes, Uncle! Tang San will depart now for Star Luo City to have the Star Luo imperial family prepare to welcome the Clear Sky Sect.”
Tang Xiao looked at Tang San, who seemed a bit tired, and sighed lightly, patting him on the shoulder.
“Alas, you’ve returned this time and haven’t even had a good rest before having to rush off again. You’ve truly worked hard, Little San!”
Tang San shook his head, said he wasn’t tired, then turned and left the Clear Sky Sect, heading straight for Star Luo City.
