Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 451 I, Tang Yuehua, am truly shameless; Tang Xiao's high-stakes gamble!
late at night.

A small tavern in a secluded alley in Xingluo City.

A burly man stepped in, his gaze sweeping across the tavern before finally settling on a petite figure draped in a straw hat and veiled in a secluded corner.

"Moonlight..."

Tang Xiao called out softly.

His tone suddenly turned icy.

"You brought Lin Xiao to steal my Haotian Sect's most precious treasure back then, and now you dare to come looking for me? Do you think I wouldn't dare kill you just because you're my sister?"

As he spoke, Tang Xiao unleashed the oppressive aura of a Title Douluo.

"puff."

Tang Yuehua was just an ordinary person, how could she possibly resist? She immediately let out a muffled groan and spat out blood.

However, she showed no signs of tension or panic, let alone fear.

He even laughed out loud.

"What a fine Haotian Sect! Big brother, you don't show off your power in front of Qian Daoliu or Lin Xiao, but you're so imposing in front of me, a weak woman who isn't even a Soul Master."

Tang Xiao's face turned ashen as he listened to Tang Yuehua's sarcastic remarks.

"That's still better than you, you ungrateful wretch!"

"You were born and raised by the sect, and you were provided with a life of luxury, yet you have done such a beastly thing!"

Tang Yuehua stopped laughing.

She stared intently at Tang Xiao. Although she was just an ordinary person with no fluctuations in soul power, her gaze made Tang Xiao feel uneasy and somewhat intimidated.

"You're calling me an ungrateful wretch?"

"You're saying I'm a traitor?"

Tang Yuehua sneered, "But wasn't it you who dragged the Haotian Sect into the quagmire, to the point of no return?"

"My dear brother, Tang Xiao!"

"You are the sect leader of the Haotian Sect. Wasn't the destruction of the Haotian Sect orchestrated by you?"

"Why did you have to get involved with the City of Slaughter? Why are you so unrepentant? Now you're even getting involved in the Star Luo royal family's struggles. I really wonder what your intentions are."

"Are you absolutely determined to see the Haotian bloodline die out?!"

By the end, Tang Yuehua was roaring hoarsely.

If Tang Xiao hadn't already set up a soul power barrier when he arrived at the tavern, these words would have been overheard by outsiders.

Tang Yuehua said coldly:

"I brought Lin Xiao here to retrieve the Phoenix Bone because I made a deal with him. I asked him to stop your good nephew from bringing the King of Slaughter to the Haotian Sect, so that the Haotian Sect would be clean and not have any connection with the Fallen."

"Besides, what benefit has that so-called sect treasure brought to the sect's development at this point? Lin Xiao has even proven that it should have belonged to him."

Tang Xiao laughed in extreme anger.

"You keep mentioning Lin Xiao, I think you've been brainwashed by Lin Xiao!"

Tang Yuehua suddenly flew into a rage.

Even now, you still won't reflect on your actions!

"Why was the Haotian Sect sealed off, and why has it fallen to its current state? Think carefully about whose fault it is!"

"If you had listened to me, the Haotian Sect wouldn't have been in such a passive position from the beginning! It's your shortsightedness and arrogance that have ruined the entire Haotian Sect!"

"How could I have such a foolish brother! Right now, the most important thing for the Haotian bloodline is to remain anonymous, keep a low profile, and continue to reproduce!"

"Come with me, and don't get involved in the mess of the Star Luo Empire!"

Tang Yuehua shouted sternly.

"To live in anonymity for decades, even a hundred years! Time will wash away all the filth..."

"Waiting for an opportunity to return to public life."

However, no matter how Tang Yuehua tried to dissuade him or how fiercely she shouted, Tang Xiao always crossed his arms and looked at her indifferently.

"She's just a woman, always knowing only how to run away and cower." "You can leave now. You've been expelled from the Haotian Sect, and it's none of your business to concern yourself with the affairs of the Haotian Sect."

Tang Yuehua suddenly felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and her body went limp.

An unprecedented sense of exhaustion descended upon me in an instant.

She has already exhausted all her efforts in searching for Tang Xiao and the Haotian Sect these past few days.

When she heard Tang Xiao say things like "You're just a woman after all" and "It's none of your business to interfere in the affairs of the Haotian Sect," she finally couldn't take it anymore.

Tang Yuehua took off her straw hat.

Tang Xiao was taken aback.

Tang Yuehua, who was once elegant and beautiful like a peony, was now terribly haggard!
Even her once dark, cloud-like hair was now casually draped over her shoulders, with faint traces of gray hair visible. Her once smooth and delicate face was now covered in wrinkles.

"Yuehua, how come you've aged so quickly!"

Tang Yuehua said calmly:

"Everyone will grow old, it's just a matter of time, only God can live forever."

These past few days she has been exhausted and in a state of extreme sadness and resentment. When she looked in the mirror again, she found that the once beautiful and charming young woman in the mirror had begun to resemble an old woman.

In that instant, Tang Yuehua was terrified.

But I gradually came to terms with it.

So what?
All of this was her own choice.

She kept saying that Haotian Sect had broken her heart and that she would never care about Haotian Sect again, but in the end, she worried about it again and again.

However, it still couldn't stop the tragedy of the sect's destruction.

At this point in life, all thoughts turn to ashes.

Tang Yuehua only hoped that Haotian Sect could preserve her only bloodline, so that when she saw her mother again in the afterlife, she could have a clear conscience.

Seeing Tang Yuehua like this deeply moved Tang Xiao.

He couldn't help but begin to doubt his choice.

Did I really do something wrong?

He was not unaware that getting involved in the Star Luo royal family's struggle meant plunging the last remaining Haotian bloodline into crisis.

But he lost too much.

At this moment, he was like a gambler who had lost everything, standing in front of the gambling table with bloodshot eyes, willing to risk his hands, feet, and even his life even if he lost all his money.

Tang Yuehua was like a family member earnestly advising her.

In the end, Tang Xiao stood there silently for a long time.

His imposing figure seemed to blend into the pitch-black night, and his deep voice conveyed an unwavering determination.

"Yuehua, it's my fault."

"I spoke too harshly."

Tang Yuehua's eyes gleamed slightly as she stared at Tang Xiao and said:
"Brother, have you finally decided to withdraw?"

"No!"

Tang Xiao said in a deep voice:
"I'm just so unwilling! I know you're suffering, Yuehua, but haven't I been living like a walking corpse every day, wishing I were dead?"

"There are 19 people who escaped from Haotian Sect with me. The 9 weaker ones are yours. Tang He is the most loyal outer sect elder. I will tell him to delegate authority to you. He will assist you in managing the remaining 9 people."

"The remaining 10 will follow me in the Star Luo Empire, to make a high-stakes gamble for the resurgence of the Haotian Sect!"

Tang Yuehua gave a mocking laugh.

"Good brother, you can't be unaware that the inheritance of a sect with a titled Douluo and without a titled Douluo are two completely different things, right?"

"You're quite smart."

"I came all this way, and you just dumped the burden of that group of people on me, and you still expect me to be your last resort."

"I, Tang Yuehua, am truly shameless."
