Douluo Continent: Become stronger by stealing Tang San's luck

This caused Tang Xiao to take a half step back, his expression complicated.

Shame, embarrassment, helplessness, anger.

Ultimately, it all turned into a sigh.

"Little Blue. May I call you that?"

Tang Lan nodded noncommittally.

Although he looked down on Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao's age was a factor.

Respect for the elderly is still essential.

This eased Tang Xiao's expression slightly.

A look of reminiscence rose in his eyes, and he said with inexplicable emotion—

"Little Blue, back then..."

"This is too difficult!"

"If the Spirit Hall launches a war rashly with all its might, it could lead to the annihilation of the entire sect."

"At that time, Tang Chen had just disappeared, and the Spirit Hall's Sky Invincible Thousand Daoliu was unstoppable."

"Although I am the sect leader, I must respect the opinions of the other five elders on such important matters of the sect."

"The decision to remove him from the sect and shut him out of the sect was the result of the final vote. Even though I am the sect leader of Haotian Sect, I cannot influence this decision."

"Indeed."

I'm so sorry!

Tang Xiao spoke with sincerity and earnestness.

The words were filled with helplessness, anger, and regret, conveying a profound emotional intensity.

As an elder.

It's truly remarkable that he would deign to apologize to a younger person.

Tang Lan, however, didn't feel much.

"If you think an apology is useful, then apologize to your father."

"For me personally, we don't have much of a relationship."

Tang Xiao fell silent upon hearing this.

Tang Lan hasn't forgiven her yet.

"Little Blue, you are now the head of a sect. Put yourself in my shoes and think about what you would do if you were in that position," Tang Xiao asked in return.

Tang Lan smiled.

Playing this trick?

Since you won't listen to nice words, then don't blame me for being impolite!

His expression immediately turned cold.

"Let's put ourselves in your shoes and evaluate your proposal first."

"Back then, for the sake of the Haotian Sect's interests, even if it meant sacrificing an arm to survive and abandoning my father to protect the Haotian Sect."

"Removing Dad from the list is no problem at all, but what about my two children, Xiao Sanzi and me?"

"Although we are descendants of Tang Hao, we were the ones being hunted down by the Spirit Hall. The Clear Sky Sect has already expelled our father and made a statement to protect the two children. I believe the Spirit Hall will not push us too hard."

"What does the Tang Emperor think?"

Tang Xiao opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But they found they couldn't say anything.

This was not an unthinkable consideration at the time, but in the end, the vote failed.

Since it didn't pass, there's no need to say anything more.

All I could do was offer a wry smile.

—It was indeed the Haotian Sect. I'm sorry to Tang Hao and the others.

"Don't think that anyone owes anyone anything."

Tang Lan scoffed—

"The reason I dislike you is not because the Haotian Sect abandoned Father, but because you, as his own brother, abandoned him."

"Using the elders' vote all the time is just an excuse."

“At that time, you were the strongest in the Haotian Sect. If you had really taken a tough stance and even stood with your father, threatening to leave the Haotian Sect.”

"Those five elders really dare to expel two high-ranking officials?"

"Of course, as the sect master of Haotian Sect, you have greater responsibilities to consider, and I can understand why you cannot do so."

“But since you chose to abandon family ties back then, there’s no need to pick them up again now.”

There was a pause.

Let Tang Xiao process his emotions.

Tang Lan continued—

"There are three strategies: superior, middle, and inferior, to deal with the encirclement and suppression by the Spirit Hall back then."

"The worst option is to fight to the death against the Spirit Hall. In the end, either my father will not be able to bear to see the sect leader exterminate the entire sect and will commit suicide, or we will fight to the death and take a piece of the Spirit Hall."

Tang Xiao nodded in agreement.

That is indeed a very poor decision.

"The middle strategy is to use a flanking maneuver. The Haotian Sect will break into smaller groups and send all its disciples to disperse and intercept members of the Spirit Hall in small teams."

"Even if Qian Daoliu is a level 99 peerless Douluo, he cannot protect the entire continent."

"The other three sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, have long been regarded as threats by the Spirit Hall. Once they see the Spirit Hall in trouble, they will definitely be happy to kick it when it's down."

"With the three upper sects taking the lead, others will also take advantage of the chaos and attack them en masse."

"The final result will be that the Spirit Hall, fearing that its foundation will be shaken, will have no choice but to reconcile with the Clear Sky Sect."

"After all, in the end, the Spirit Hall is not in the right either."

"Qian Xunji dared to lead a team to hunt down the families of Haotian Sect disciples, so he should be prepared to fight fire with fire."

"The Haotian Sect may have suffered heavy losses, but it has also established a formidable reputation. A sect leader who is so protective of his own will surely be the first choice for many soul masters."

"In the long run, it's a win."

Tang Xiao frowned, deep in thought.

If only back then...

If such a plan is indeed proposed, it would certainly be an option.

—After all, the Spirit Hall made the first move, so how could the Clear Sky Sect back down?

unfortunately

"I never thought of this plan back then, and few in the sect have such courage."

"Xiao Lan, what's the best course of action?"

Ah!

Tang Lan, a mocking smile on her lips, began to speak—

"Do you think you can just wait for the Spirit Hall to make a move if you dare to touch my people?"

“Long before the Spirit Hall, I would have decisively dispatched the elders to break through and contact the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, and the other four lower sects that did not submit to the Spirit Hall.”

"And the Spirit Hall has stood on the continent for ten thousand years, without any enemies?"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. At this time, any force that can be united is a bargaining chip for victory."

"With various forces driven by genuine desire for revenge, wavering intentions, or simply observing the situation, the Clear Sky Sect took the lead in declaring war on the Spirit Hall."

"As long as the Haotian Sect can show its strength, it will eventually return to a chaotic battle, and there will be no shortage of opportunists."

"The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire have been locked in a stalemate for ten thousand years, so why has there never been a war? Isn't it because the Spirit Hall has been mediating between them?"

"But how could the kings of two great empires not have the ambition to expand their territories?"

"Not to mention that the Spirit Hall, relying on its influence, forced the two great empires to contribute funds and manpower to build branch halls, provide free awakening, and distribute subsidies."

"Once the siege of the Spirit Hall is successful, and we explain the situation to the two great empires, they will surely seize this once-in-a-millennium opportunity to raise an army and eliminate this obstacle to the Spirit Hall."

"Even if Qian Daoliu is strong, how many can he kill when facing the armies of two great empires?"

"Is Qian Daoliu an unparalleled Douluo, invincible in the world?"

"Then I'll kill him with overwhelming force!"

Tang Lan finished speaking.

Tang Xiao stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, unable to recover for a long time.

return.

Is that even possible?

After a few dozen seconds of stunned silence, Tang Xiao suddenly gave a bitter smile.

Killing people with overwhelming force?

What a brilliant strategy!

What a wonderful Tang Lan!

Tang Xiao sincerely clasped his hands and said, "As expected of Master Tang, who can write the Tang Sect Encyclopedia, build the Tang Sect, and stand on equal footing with the Spirit Hall, I admire you!"

"This is my signal. If it is of any use in the future, I will do my utmost to help."

"I've already said too much today, so I'll take my leave now."

Tang Xiao turned and flew away, abandoning his original goal.
