Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 312 Tang Yuehua's Scheme

"Damn it, damn it, this is all slander, all shameful slander!"

In the council hall of the Haotian Sect in the Star Luo Empire, Tang San's eyes were bloodshot as he roared repeatedly. He threw the proclamations issued by the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Empire accusing him of being an evil spirit master on the ground, and, still not satisfied, he stepped forward and stomped on them a few more times.

Tang Xiao, sitting at the head of the table, and Tang Yuehua, sitting to the side, also had grim expressions. As Tang San's closest relatives, they simply couldn't believe that Tang San would do such a heinous thing, even though Tang San did indeed do it.

Sitting below Tang Xiao were the only three remaining elders of the Haotian Sect: Second Elder Tang Ling, a level 94 Power Attack-type Title Douluo, also known as Lingtian Douluo; Third Elder Tang Ran, a level 93 Power Attack-type Title Douluo, also known as Yaoyan Douluo; and Sixth Elder Tang Yun, a level 92 Power Attack-type Title Douluo, also known as Qingtian Douluo.

The three elders also held a negative attitude towards the matter, and their words were vehement. This was not because the three elders had a deep relationship with Tang San, but because the fact that Tang San was an evil soul master had already caused serious consequences for the Clear Sky Sect.

After Haotian Sect emerged from seclusion, relying on its former title as the number one sect in the world and the support of the Star Luo Royal Family, its strength developed rapidly within a few years. Although it could not compare with its peak period when it had ten thousand disciples, it should not be underestimated.

However, after Tang San's affair was exposed, the once thriving situation of the sect deteriorated overnight.

The Soul Master world has zero tolerance for evil Soul Masters. Moreover, those disciples from other clans who join the Clear Sky Sect are even more afraid that Tang San might one day turn his attention to them.

Whether out of a desire to uphold justice or for their own safety, the Haotian Sect was no longer a place to linger. In less than a month, more than two hundred disciples from other clans had left the sect and their whereabouts were unknown.

This is still under the premise that the matter has not been finalized. If Tang San's matter is confirmed, the sect may fall apart overnight.

Therefore, for the sake of the stability of the Clear Sky Sect, even if Tang San is an evil soul master, the three elders must admit that this is false.

"The most troublesome thing right now is the Heaven Dou Empire."

Second Elder Tang Ling said in a deep voice: "The relationship between the Spirit Empire and us is known to all. If it were just them, we could simply declare that this matter is a slander, and everyone could just argue with each other. People in the spirit master world would only think it's a farce."

The reason things have escalated to this point is that the Heaven Dou Empire also issued a statement. In the eyes of the world, it is absolutely impossible for the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Empire to join forces, because more than two-thirds of the Spirit Empire's territory originally belonged to kingdoms and duchies under the Heaven Dou Empire.

When two opposing forces agree on the same thing, the credibility of that thing becomes very high.

"Xiao Yu!"

Tang San gritted his teeth and shouted Xiao Yu's name, wishing he could tear him to pieces. If it weren't for Xiao Yu's appearance, how could things have come to this?

The announcement issued by the Heavenly Dou Empire was definitely his doing. That bastard wanted to use it to condemn him to a point of no return.

Tang San clenched his fists, and his eyes turned bloodshot, like a wild beast ready to devour its prey at any moment.

"Xiao Yu, that damned bastard! First he killed Hao Di, and now he's trying to smear Xiao San's reputation. He's utterly vicious!"

Tang Xiao could not control his anger either. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up angrily, his brows furrowed with icy killing intent.

"Big brother, mistress, calm down, don't let anger cloud your judgment."

Tang Yuehua stood up and said softly, "I don't see anything wrong."

"Yuehua, do you have any good ideas?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao was overjoyed. Over the years, he had only been a figurehead as the sect leader, and the one who truly made the decisions was his younger sister, who had been exceptionally intelligent since childhood.

Elders Tang Ling, Tang Ran, and Tang Yun also pricked up their ears to listen to what Tang Yuehua would say next.

Tang Yuehua smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it's quite simple. Just get the Heaven Dou Empire to withdraw its slander against Xiao San, admit they were misled by the Spirit Empire, and issue a clarification announcement to Xiao San. That'll be the end of it!"

Upon hearing Tang Yuehua's words, Tang Xiao, Tang Ling, and the other two elders deflated like punctured balloons, and Tang San also lowered his head.

Tang Ling said somewhat displeasedly, "Yuehua, are you out of your mind? How could that bastard Xiao Yu do such a thing? If he had such intentions, how could he collude with the Martial Soul Empire to slander our Haotian Sect?"

Tang Yuehua said calmly, "Second Uncle, I was referring to the Heavenly Dou Empire clarifying things for Xiao San, not that scoundrel Xiao Yu clarifying things for Xiao San."

Tang Ling immediately retorted, "What's the difference? I think Xue Qinghe is just Xiao Yu's yes-man. Over the years, we've extended olive branches to the Heaven Dou Empire countless times, and Sect Master Ning has also made many connections, but Xue Qinghe has ignored them all and is single-mindedly clinging to the Nine Star Palace."

Tang Yuehua maintained her dignified and elegant expression, but what she said almost made Tang Ling, a nearly ninety-year-old man, have his heart stop.

"Then let's just change the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. Since Xue Qinghe has always been so ungrateful, let's find a partner who can represent the Heaven Dou Empire."

Second Uncle, Eldest Brother, although my Yuexuan has moved away from Tiandou City in recent years, my network of connections has never been broken. I have asked someone to contact Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng, and they are very willing to cooperate with our Haotian Sect.

Xue Beng is the son of Emperor Xue Ye. As long as Xue Qinghe and his infant son are gone, he will be the rightful heir to the Heavenly Dou Empire.

By then, not only will we be able to legitimize the mistress, but the entire Heaven Dou Empire will become our most loyal ally.

Tang Yuehua's words were quite explicit, and everyone present understood her intention.

Tang Xiao frowned and said, "Yuehua, aren't you being a bit too presumptuous? If Xueye were still alive, Xuexing and Xuebeng would still have some real power and could be of some help to us."

But now Xue Qinghe has been on the throne for three years, and those two have long been stripped of their power. They probably can't even get us into the palace. We can't expect to force our way in, can we? Xue Qinghe is single-mindedly devoted to the Nine Star Palace, and there must be powerful figures from the Nine Star Palace around him. I'm afraid we'll be stopped before we even get close to Xue Qinghe.”

Tang Yuehua narrowed her eyes slightly, chuckled softly, and said, "Brother, Xue Xing and Xue Beng alone are certainly not enough, but what if we add the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? With the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, arranging for a few people to enter the palace shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
