Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 57 The Disaster of the Haotian Sect

Time flies in the mountains, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Mingxi has been in this world for twenty-eight years.

Ever since the fragment given to him by the two elders merged into Xu Mingxi's body that day, he felt that his cultivation speed had increased to a new level.

The sect will go ahead to collect information on the 100,000-year-old soul beast required for his eighth soul ring, and all he needs to do is reach level 80 as soon as possible.

His soul power level improved rapidly with multiple amplifications, and in just three years, his soul power level had reached level eighty.

In the past few years, the sect has also collected some traces of what appear to be 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Accompanied by the sect leader and the grand elder, Xu Mingxi once again set off and successfully hunted down a 100,000-year-old fire lizard in the volcanic cluster in the southern part of the Star Luo Empire. He also absorbed the 100,000-year-old left arm bone produced by the fire lizard, and his soul power reached level 83.

Everything was proceeding smoothly, but when he and the sect leader returned to the sect, they found that the Third Elder was seriously injured, and the person taking care of him was Yuan Ting, the head of the Yuan family.

A few days ago, the Third Elder was invited by Yuan Ting to help one of the Yuan family elders obtain his eighth soul ring.

Unexpectedly, during the soul hunt, the soul beast they had beaten to the brink of death was snatched away by the Haotian Sect members who suddenly appeared.

The opposing team had two Soul Douluos leading the charge, and their Clear Sky Hammer martial soul was incredibly powerful. The Third Elder managed to hold off one of them, but the Yuan family's team was no match for the others.

In the end, the Soul Saint from the Yuan family who wanted to obtain the eighth soul ring died on the spot. Only Chen Hou and the Third Elder escaped with Yuan Ting despite being seriously injured.

Yuan Ting dared not return to Dongji City, and alone led Chen Hou and the Third Elder to Xingguan Sect overnight to seek help.

The members of the Star Crown Sect were filled with grief and indignation as they watched the Third Elder, who was lying on the bed with his body wrapped in bandages after receiving treatment from the Fourth Elder. What a domineering Haotian Sect!

At the elders' meeting, all the elders looked at the sect leader. They absolutely could not swallow this insult. If they didn't retaliate, would they really think that their Star Crown Sect was weak and easy to bully?

The sect leader kept tapping the table with his right hand. As the sect leader, the rise and fall of the entire sect was in his hands. He absolutely could not act impulsively. The advantages and disadvantages were what he needed to consider first.

Xu Mingxi sat to the side, her mind filled with the pitiful sight of the Third Elder. The Star Crown Sect was sparsely populated and had a harmonious atmosphere. These outstanding juniors had grown up under the care of the elders since childhood.

The fact that Haotian Sect dared to harm the Third Elder has crossed his bottom line. Xu Mingxi signaled to the sect leader to let the elders leave, as he had news to tell the sect leader.

Ten days later, the sect leader of Haotian Sect flew into a rage inside the mountain gate. He threw the intelligence report in his hand to the ground and stared at the seven elders sitting in the hall with bloodshot eyes.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on? Why has such a secret matter spread throughout the entire continent?"

The seven elders also looked extremely grim; they had no idea how this news had spread.

The Haotian Sect secretly began recalling its members and sent Tang Xiao to find Tang Hao and ask him if the news was true or false.

After Xu Mingxi left that day, the sect leader sat in the main hall for a long time. He didn't know where Xu Mingxi got the news from, but if it was true, a major earthquake might really happen on the Douluo Continent.

He began spreading the information Xu Mingxi had just mentioned through the Star Crown Sect's secret channels throughout the Star Luo Empire. Meanwhile, the Blood Blade Pavilion of the Heaven Dou Empire, under the incredulous gaze of its leader, also began to take action.

Before long, the news had spread. Qian Xunji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, also received the message from his subordinates and revealed a bloodthirsty smile as he looked in the direction of the Clear Sky Sect.

Upon hearing the news, Qian Daoliu, who was in the Elder Hall, suddenly opened his eyes, his golden pupils gleaming.

"Tang Chen, you're actually stuck in that Killing City?"

Almost all the major powers had two pieces of news on their desks. The first was that Tang Chen, the previous sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, was trapped in the City of Slaughter and could never escape. The second was that Tang Hao, one of the Clear Sky Sect's twin stars, had a wife who was a 100,000-year-old soul beast who had been reborn as a human.

Apart from Xu Mingxi, no one could confirm the truth of these two pieces of news. In fact, many forces didn't even know where the Killing Capital was.

However, these two pieces of news will stir up the hidden desires of some ambitious people. As time goes by, the Haotian Sect will eventually be unable to withstand the outside world's prying eyes.

The mastermind behind it all, Xu Mingxi, sat cross-legged under the Star Tree, cultivating and ignoring all external affairs. He was waiting for the moment when the war between the Haotian Sect and the Star Tree would break out completely.

Those who dare to harm the Star Crown Sect should be prepared for retaliation by the Clear Sky Sect.

The plot and such are no longer important.

Time may calm things down, or it may make things worse.

The Clear Sky Sect could no longer suppress all voices. With Tang Chen missing, the current sect leader, a titled Douluo, was simply not enough to intimidate all sides.

Both the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had their own ulterior motives; they weren't unwilling to share in the spoils of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

The Clear Sky Sect recalled almost all of its disciples, and the area outside the mountain gate was filled with spies from various factions, with the Spirit Hall having the largest number.

Outside, Tang Hao's whereabouts have been discovered. A Soul Douluo powerhouse caught a glimpse of him from afar, and news that his wife is a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast has already spread among the upper echelons of the continent.

Inside the Haotian Sect, Sect Master Tang Zhen looked at the letter Tang Hao had sent back in his hand. He was so angry that he almost fainted. His wife was actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Moreover, he actually wanted to ask the Clear Sky Sect for help, saying that with his Soul Douluo strength, he couldn't possibly stop the many Title Douluo powerhouses from coveting Ah Yin. "Father, I think we should help Brother Hao. He's a member of our Clear Sky Sect. How can we let others bully him?"

Tang Xiao was heartbroken when he saw in the letter that Tang Hao and Ah Yin were being hunted down across the continent. Why did the world treat such a beautiful woman like this?

Tang Zhen was stunned when he heard his eldest son suddenly say such a thing. Help? What could they possibly offer?

Besides, Tang Hao could just give up that 100,000-year-old soul beast; it's not like the other party wants to kill him.

The next glance revealed Tang Xiao's worried eyes, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

"Xiao'er, you knew all along that your brother's wife was a soul beast, didn't you?"

"Father, Ah Yin is the most beautiful woman in the world, she..."

Tang Zhen reached out to stop Tang Xiao from continuing. He finally understood that although his two sons were strong, they were complete idiots.

Haotian Sect is in trouble this time.

The next moment, Tang Zhen suddenly felt his soul power spiral out of control, his blood rushing to his head, and he fainted.

The seven elders rushed forward anxiously to check on him. The sect leader couldn't afford to fall now; if the sect's only titled Douluo were to fall, the Haotian Sect would truly be in dire straits.

With such a major event occurring at the Haotian Sect, the patriarchs of the four single-attribute affiliated families have all gathered at the Haotian Sect's mountain gate.

After Yang Wudi's examination and treatment, the old sect leader slowly regained consciousness, but he must control his emotions more in the future and must never get angry again.

But when Tang Zhen saw Tang Xiao, he almost lost control again. Fortunately, he managed to shift his gaze in time and suppress his anger.

"We must summon all Soul Saint-level experts from our sect and all affiliated forces to the main hall for a meeting. This is a matter of life and death for our Haotian Sect."

The Haotian Sect members discussed their countermeasures, but that's another story. Tang Hao and his wife had been chased like stray dogs.

After someone reported his location and he wiped out the village where he had lived for two or three years with a single blow, he began his escape.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast! Even without absorbing a soul ring, its soul bone alone is one of the most precious treasures on the Douluo Continent.

Tang Hao is currently just a Soul Douluo, and even if he wields the Clear Sky Hammer, he cannot stop the greed of the powerful figures on the continent.

The powerful figures are still wary of the Haotian Sect and have not yet made a move. The two of them are already suffering greatly from the sporadic attacks.

Ah Yin was only at the Soul King level, and she was a hindrance in battle. Tang Hao could only protect her while fleeing.

While doing so, Tang Hao tore up the letter from the Haotian Sect that urged him to give up on Ah Yin, knowing that the sect would most likely not send anyone to support him.

He could understand that; one should take responsibility for one's actions, and he would never implicate the sect.

The crowd surrounded Tang Hao and his wife, deliberately forcing them to head north, further and further away from the Star Dou Great Forest.

At this moment, Qian Xunji could no longer contain himself. He slammed his scepter on the ground, the door opened, and Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo walked in.

He, along with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, began gathering manpower. He, Qian Xunji, was determined to obtain the 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Qian Daoliu closed his eyes to meditate in front of the angel statue in the Elder Hall. With three Title Douluos mobilized, how could a Soul Douluo possibly escape with a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast?

He didn't care about Tang Hao and the 100,000-year-old soul beast. Without Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect was nothing more than a clay chicken or a tile dog to him, and could be destroyed at any time.

The Spirit Hall issued a public notice to the mainland, stating that Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect colluded with spirit beasts with treacherous intentions, and that everyone should kill him. Anyone who dares to associate with him is an enemy of humanity.

Upon the release of the statement, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan were the first to distance themselves from Tang Hao, claiming that they would never associate with those who colluded with soul beasts.

Inside the Haotian Sect, Tang Zhen listened to the elder's report with a grim expression. Amid Tang Xiao's desperate pleas, he ordered Tang Hao to be expelled from the Haotian Sect, thus completely severing ties with the sect.

Although the two have nominally separated, the powerful forces on the mainland all know the real situation. Saying it is one thing, doing it is another.

No one will take this statement seriously; it won't affect their choices in the slightest. What they want to do, they will do anyway.

In a small village in the northern border of the Heaven Dou Empire, Tang Hao learned that he had been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect and was filled with despair.

Ah Yin gently comforted him, which helped him regain his fighting spirit and search for the next hiding place.

Sorry everyone, it was an operational error; I forgot to set the timer. It was posted this morning, and I'll revert to posting at noon later.
