Douluo Continent: My life is ruined, but I become stronger by taking on disciples.

Chapter 50 The Emergence of the Haotian Sect?!

"I plead guilty."

"Fine, if you won't plead guilty, then we'll have no choice but to..."

The Seventh Elder suddenly realized something was wrong, thinking he had misheard, and exclaimed in surprise, "What? You confessed!"

Tang Hao, contrary to his usual self, showed a deep sense of guilt on his face and said sadly.

"Yes, Seventh Elder, I confess. Because of my personal matters, the Haotian Sect was forced into seclusion, and many disciples' families suffered as a result. I feel deeply ashamed of this."

His words were full of remorse, which aroused a sense of sympathy in those who had originally wanted to judge him.

After all, the two former stars of Haotian have now become a cripple, with one becoming the sect leader of Haotian Sect.

The people of Haotian Sect all believed that Tang Hao's personality had changed because of his disability.

Otherwise, given his temper more than ten years ago, he would have already caused a huge scene.

Tang Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing everyone's reaction.

Because she saw that Tang Hao had a chance to live.

"Brother Hao, it seems you've been through a lot these past ten years."

Not only Tang Yuehua, but Tang Xiao also felt the same way.

When the Seventh Elder heard the Haotian Sect disciples discussing among themselves, his face suddenly darkened.

He didn't want to let Tang Hao off easily; he had endured the hatred of losing his son for more than ten years.

Now that the opportunity to put Tang Hao to trial is right in front of him, how could he give it up so easily?

"Tang Hao, you don't actually think an apology can atone for your sins, do you? Don't forget how many Clear Sky Sect disciples you've killed!"

"Everyone, think about why your loved ones are separated from you by death, think about who caused you to lose your dearest ones!"

"Tang Hao's disability is entirely his own fault; what does it have to do with us? Don't be blinded by his sweet talk and his attempts to gain sympathy!"

The Seventh Elder's voice resounded throughout the entire venue like a booming bell, deafening the disciples of the Haotian Sect.

These words strengthened their resolve to try and publicly execute Tang Hao, the culprit.

"Damn it, Seventh Elder is trying to kill Brother Hao!" Tang Xiao clenched his fists, his face grim.

However, what the Seventh Elder said was true and could not be refuted.

A hint of killing intent flashed in Tang Hao's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, and no one noticed.

He still wore a remorseful expression as he spoke to everyone: "I know everyone still has many grievances against me, and that's undeniable. So, I've been thinking about how to repay the sect for a long time."

As he spoke, he pointed to his empty left leg and right arm with his left hand and began to fabricate a story: "My left leg and right arm both have soul bones bestowed by the Haotian Sect. Therefore, before returning to the sect, I severed my left leg and right arm to repay the sect."

Tang Hao knew that no one in the Haotian Sect knew how his left leg and right arm had been broken.

He was trying to use this to change the subject.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration: "Brother Hao, how...how could you go to such lengths!"

Tang Yuehua covered her mouth in shock, her eyes filled with heartache.

The disciples of the Haotian Sect were also astonished, never expecting that Tang Hao had willingly become crippled in order to return the sect's soul bone.

The Seventh Elder's pupils contracted, and a glint of greed flashed in his eyes.

A high-quality, ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is enough to greatly enhance his strength.

Right now, even the hatred of losing a child must be temporarily set aside in the face of a high-quality soul bone.

"Tang Hao, where are those two soul bones from that sect? Hand them over now!"

The Seventh Elder knew very well that, given his current status and the hatred he felt for losing his son, he could at least obtain one of the soul bones.

Seeing that the Seventh Elder was showing signs of relenting, Tang Xiao quickly said, "Brother Hao, the Seventh Elder is asking you a question."

However, Tang Hao looked grief-stricken.

"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to hand it over, but the sect's soul bone has been stolen."

The Seventh Elder's eyes widened in anger, feeling like he'd been tricked: "Tang Hao, do you take me for a fool?"

Tang Hao, still filled with grief and indignation, explained through tears.

"Seventh Elder, I really didn't lie to you. Because I severed an arm and a leg, my strength was greatly reduced. On my way back to the sect, I encountered villains. Not only was my soul bone stolen, but I also almost lost my life on the spot."

When Tang Hao was brought back to the sect, he was indeed on the verge of death; there's no faking that.

The Seventh Elder was furious: "Damn it! Who on earth dares to lay a hand on the Haotian Sect's possessions?!"

The other disciples of the Haotian Sect were also extremely angry.

They were forced into seclusion due to the oppression of the Spirit Hall, and had long harbored resentment. Now, someone actually dared to attack their people.

Do they really think their Clear Sky Sect is a pushover?!

Tang Xiao, anxious to protect his brother, quickly asked, "Brother Hao, do you know who attacked you?"

Tang Hao was overjoyed. He had finally succeeded in changing the subject and directing the anger of the Haotian Sect members toward the person who had made him into this state.

Then, he spoke with a ferocious expression.

"Lan Minghua, he's the one who stole two soul bones from the sect!"

In an instant, a heated discussion broke out within the Haotian Sect.

"Lan Minghua? Who is he? I've never heard of him."

"Could this person be someone Tang Hao made up? Lan Minghua? Lan Minghua? Who would choose such a name!"

The latest novel is first published here!

"I think he's just trying to change the subject; there aren't that many coincidences."

"Besides, we are the Haotian Sect, one of the top three sects. Who would dare to attack us!"

The disciples of Haotian Sect were not familiar with the name "Lan Minghua," and had never even heard of it before.

However, the elders of the Haotian Sect did have some recollection of this name.

"Lan Minghua? That name sounds familiar."

The elders looked at each other, seemingly having heard or seen the name somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.

Suddenly, Tang Xiao seemed to remember something and took out a crumpled letter from his pocket. It was a letter from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Everyone, I think I know who Lan Minghua is that Brother Hao was talking about!"

Tang Xiao's voice was extremely penetrating, instantly silencing the entire audience.

Tang Hao was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that the Haotian Sect, which had kept its mountain gates closed, would also know who Lan Minghua was.

"How does my brother know about Lan Minghua? Could it be that my lie is about to be exposed?!"

Just as he was racking his brains, Tang Xiao unfolded the letter from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and presented it to everyone.

"Lan Minghua is a vicious and ruthless person. A few days ago, I'm sure everyone heard the news of the death of Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"And the person who killed Ning Fengzhi was Lan Minghua. This letter was written by Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so it is absolutely genuine."

Upon hearing this, the Haotian Sect disciples who were still filled with doubt fell silent.

Unexpectedly, the person who seriously injured Tang Hao was actually real.

Given that Lan Minghua dared to kill the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, how could he not dare to attack the already crippled Tang Hao?

"No wonder the name Lan Minghua sounded so familiar; it turns out he's the vicious killer of Ning Fengzhi!"

Although the Seventh Elder still had some disbelief, he had no choice but to believe it now.

Tang Xiao stepped forward and said loudly, "Everyone, the three upper sects are of one mind. Now that our Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have a common enemy, we should lend a helping hand. Otherwise, we will only make a fool of ourselves in front of the Spirit Hall."

One faction within the Haotian Sect, not wanting to cause trouble, was about to speak out in rebuttal.

Just then, the general standing next to Tang Yuehua stepped forward.

"Esteemed seniors, may I have a word to say?"

"Who are you?" Tang Xiao only realized now that the person was only at the level of a Soul Emperor, and was not worth his attention.

The general replied neither servilely nor arrogantly: "This junior is a bodyguard of Lord Tang Xuan, and also here on His Majesty's orders to deliver a message."

"What did you say?" Tang Xiao asked.

"His Majesty said that as long as the Haotian Sect is willing to join forces with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to deal with Lan Minghua, the Heaven Dou Empire will provide its full support. After the matter is over, if the Haotian Sect wants to emerge from the shadows, the Heaven Dou Empire will also provide its full support."

"What?!"
