In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 340 The Calamity of the Undead! (Part 1)

Soon after, Tang Xiao, who vividly remembered what happened that year and was the one who made the guarantee, spoke up.

"Your Highness, as far as I know, my second brother... Tang Hao, regardless of whether he truly committed countless sins and became a fallen soul master as rumored, it seems he has never laid a hand on any member of your esteemed hall, has he?"

As he spoke, Tang Xiao's expression became subtly complicated, as did Tang Yuehua, who was not far behind him.

According to information revealed by the Spirit Hall, although Tang Hao has been killing ordinary people indiscriminately, he has always avoided taking action against the people of the Spirit Hall. This has undoubtedly made the brother and sister, who were the most convinced that Tang Hao would not do such a thing, unable to shake off a lingering doubt.

After all, it's perfectly reasonable and realistic for Tang Hao to avoid causing trouble for the Clear Sky Sect while killing people on the continent...

"The guarantee that I made in public when I was still a saintess seemed to imply that Tang Hao should be punished by my Clear Sky Sect on his behalf only after he had killed members of the Spirit Hall."

"No, no, no."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao shook his head.

"It seems even the sect leader of the Haotian Sect isn't very bright. In that case..."

Wang Zhao paused for a moment, then suddenly reached out and channeled his soul power to pull a one-armed Haotian Sect disciple from the ground, grabbing him by the collar and lifting him up.

"This guy who lost an arm must have been punished by my Spirit Hall back then, right? He must have a much clearer memory of what happened back then than you, the sect leader. Let me go through his memories~"

"Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, what are you doing?!"

Seeing this, one of the Haotian Sect elders couldn't help but take a step forward aggressively.

Wang Zhao's gaze turned cold, and he suddenly swung his scythe, the gray blade energy instantly carving a crack in the ground in front of the elder's feet.

"Take another step forward, and the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect will go to war."

He said it calmly.

"you……"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the high-ranking members of the Clear Sky Sect turned ugly again. Although they doubted that the Spirit Hall would break the agreement between their High Priest and their ancestor because of the arrogant remarks of this Holy Son, they were just wondering what might happen.

With this in mind, Tang Xiao, as the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, still said, "Your Highness, I hope you will not harm him..."

"Heh~"

Wang Zhao gave another mocking smile, too lazy to explain further. He simply silently recited the incantations for the necromancy spells "Soul Control Fire" and "Time Reversal." A void flame ignited from his hand and spread to the head of the struggling Haotian Sect disciple in his grasp.

Soon, the Haotian Sect disciples stopped struggling and became docile. Of course, they didn't die or suffer any injuries; their souls were simply temporarily controlled by Wang Zhao and stabilized.

Before long, Wang Zhao spoke again, casually tossing away the Haotian Sect disciple in his hand.

"Found it."

As his words fell, a huge image was projected into the sky, as if time had been reversed. Anyone in any location in the ancestral land of the Haotian Sect could see it clearly, and the image showed the former Haotian Sect headquarters.

The scene first showed Bibi Dong, then the Holy Maiden, forcing the Clear Sky Sect to make a promise that "if Tang Hao attacks any members of the Spirit Hall outside, the Clear Sky Sect will be held responsible." However, before Tang Xiao and the others could even relax, the scene shifted again, showing Tang Xiao, after being severely "humiliated" and exposed as a "newbie," making a solemn promise to the Spirit Hall:

"The Haotian Sect will spread the word to the mainland that although Tang Hao is no longer affiliated with the sect, the sect will bear all the consequences if he causes any trouble outside."

"..."

Afterwards, Wang Zhao slowly withdrew the time reversal magic, looked down at the group of hammer-wielding men with uncertain expressions, and said with a wicked smile, "You see, it seems that what your sect leader said back then was not just about taking responsibility for Tang Hao's actions against the Spirit Hall members."

"not to mention……"

Wang Zhao suddenly stretched out his hand again and pointed to himself amidst the wary gazes of the group of hammer-wielding men.

"Why do you think the news circulating not long ago claimed that this Holy Son defeated that scoundrel Tang Hao?"

"It's all because that scoundrel was enraged by my pursuit. His anger flared, and he hatched a wicked plan to kill me or even kidnap me alive during his escape. He only discovered my identity after using his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul. If I hadn't been skilled enough to thwart his plot, what do you think my fate would have been?"

"Could it be that the deacons and bishops that Tang Hao intentionally avoided taking action were members of the Spirit Hall, while I, the Holy Son, am not?!"

As Wang Zhao's words became increasingly aggressive, the faces of the people below grew even uglier.

Although they wanted to argue that "it was because you were chasing Tang Hao that Tang Hao was unable to bear it any longer and retaliated against you," they couldn't.

Because this Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, just like Qian Xunji chasing Tang Hao back then, is acting on the side of "justice"...

Tang Xiao's expression kept changing, but he finally said in a low voice, "Your Highness, just say what you want. My Clear Sky Sect has nothing left to compensate your Spirit Hall."

"Hahahaha..."

Wang Zhao suddenly burst into laughter, then waved his hand casually.

"Forget it, forget it. All the good stuff from your Clear Sky Sect was looted by my Spirit Hall army long ago. I don't care if there's anything left now. I'm here today mainly to give an explanation to the people and to vent my anger."

As he spoke, Wang Zhao suddenly rose into the even higher sky, his voice spreading throughout the entire area and even beyond this ancestral land, driven by his soul power.

"Haotian Sect! I, Li Ming, will only use one move today. Whether you can withstand it or not, I will leave after this one move."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao relaxed, thinking that if that was the case, then today's troubles should not be difficult to resolve. He then exchanged a glance with the elder beside him, and the two of them, holding their respective Clear Sky Hammer martial souls, quickly took to the air together.

"Then, Your Highness, please make your move."

Tang Xiao took the initiative to speak.

Obviously, he believed that as a Super Douluo, he couldn't possibly be unable to withstand even the so-called "one move" mentioned by the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. After all, he was once a genius who was on par with Tang Hao and known as the "Twin Stars of Haotian". Moreover, he had brought his own Grand Elder along just to be on the safe side.

Anyway, Wang Zhao just said "you guys". Tang Xiao thought to himself, "Playing word games is fine too. In that case, what's wrong with me using all the strength of my sect to meet your 'move'?"

Little did he know, Wang Zhao's real intention was for him to mobilize the entire clan's resources...
