Chapter 278: Six Years Later.
"If we're taking Yang Wudi and the others, President Lin's goal has been accomplished. I have no intention of making things difficult for them."
In public, Bibi Dong didn't get too close to Lin Hanye, but her gaze was tender and heartwarming.
This girl's acting skills are questionable. Lin Hanye blushed, but remained impassive. "No, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and the other four clan leaders are members of our Spirit Master Guild. Taking them is only natural. I'm here for the people of the Clear Sky Sect. Someone has entrusted me to save their lives."
"Doesn't the Spirit Master Guild never participate in wars between nations or sects?" Bibi Dong feigned anger, but her eyes remained as affectionate as ever.
"No, you misunderstood me. I simply wanted Her Holiness the Pope to show some respect and spare their lives. That's all," Lin Hanye said, fearing it would devolve into flirting.
But his words, to Tang Lie and other disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, were like a ray of hope.
Having already given up hope, they looked at Lin Hanye with disbelief.
They could never have imagined that Lin Hanye, who had always been at odds with them, would actually come to their rescue one day.
Especially Tang Lie, whose entire family had been exterminated, his wife and children tragically killed, and who had once offended Lin Hanye, his expression was particularly complicated.
"What if I don't agree?" Bibi Dong seemed addicted to acting.
As she spoke, she erupted with an incredibly terrifying aura. A thousand-meter-tall phantom of the Death Spider Emperor appeared behind her, roaring at Lin Hanye.
"No, you will agree." Lin Hanye raised his right hand, and brought his index and middle fingers together, transforming them into sword fingers, with a blue light shimmering between them.
The next moment, a blue halo appeared behind Lin Hanye's neck. Simultaneously, an ice-blue energy sphere expanded rapidly in the sky behind him, visible to the naked eye. In a split second, it reached a diameter of several thousand meters, obscuring the sky and completely eclipsing the Death Spider Emperor's shadow.
Seeing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a look of helplessness.
The rest of the Spirit Hall, unaware of the situation, were startled by the sudden and terrifying energy sphere.
Silver Hammer looked at Bibi Dong with a look of panic, "Your Majesty, this..."
"Okay, I'll grant you this favor today, but I'll ask them to leave something behind." Bibi Dong dissipated her spirit power.
"I only promise to spare their lives. Your Excellency, the Pope, feel free to do anything else." Lin Hanye clasped his hands behind his back, and the Death Spider Emperor and the ice-blue energy sphere vanished simultaneously, as if they had never appeared.
"Elder Silver Chui, cripple one hand from each of these remnants of the Clear Sky Sect. As for Tang Lie, I will completely wipe out his descendants."
Bibi Dong turned her back to the Clear Sky Sect and transmitted a telepathic message to Silver Chui.
To destroy this man who had once threatened her own little Linzi, leaving him without descendants and living in hatred and endless pain for another decade, would be the most cruel thing to do.
Silver Chui was stunned by this and glanced at Lin Hanye. Seeing that he didn't seem to want to stop him, the panic on his face vanished, replaced by amusement and cruelty.
With a wicked grin, he stepped forward and crushed the arms of each Clear Sky Sect disciple one by one. When it was Tang Lie's turn, he expected to suffer the same fate as the others before him, losing an arm.
He thought it was nothing; at least the Clear Sky Sect was saved, and they wouldn't have to die.
He closed his eyes, looking ready for death.
Unexpectedly, Silver Chui didn't cripple his arm at all. Instead, he reached out and grabbed it, then pinched it hard.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Tang Lie was completely childless. Not only had he lost his wife and son, but he had also lost the most basic symbol of manhood.
He fainted from the pain.
Bibi Dong turned her back to the Clear Sky Sect and said, "For President Lin's sake, I will let you, a bunch of useless people, go today. You have one day to get to Clear Sky Peak and take Tang Lie with you. I don't want to see you again. Duck down in the ditch. If you dare show up, I don't mind making the Clear Sky Hammer disappear forever. Also, from now on, don't call yourself the Clear Sky Sect. A rat in a ditch should act like a rat in a ditch. From now on, you shall be renamed the Rat Sect. You better hope that coward Tang Hao doesn't commit any more crimes against the Spirit Hall, or I won't mind eradicating you completely. Let's go."
With that, Bibi Dong waved her sleeves and left with the Spirit Hall.
"Let's go too."
Lin Hanye didn't bother to deal with the disabled members of the Clear Sky Sect. With a sudden thought, a blue ball of light enveloped him, Yang Wudi, and the other three. It soared high into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it vanished into the horizon in a streak of light.
Only when only forty or so one-armed disciples remained of the Clear Sky Sect, along with Tang Lie, who had passed out from being castrated, did the disciples of the Rat Sect burst into tears. Seeing the Clear Sky Sect reduced to mere rubble and the bodies emitting a foul stench in the pit, after briefly stopping the bleeding, they didn't bother collecting the bodies. Instead, they took turns carrying the unconscious Tang Lie and rushed non-stop to Clear Sky Peak.
The Spirit Hall had given them only one day. If they didn't get there quickly, they truly had no hope of survival.
And all this was because of that damned Tang Hao.
If it weren't for Tang Hao, the previous two sect leaders wouldn't have died of rage, and the Clear Sky Sect wouldn't have been attacked by the Spirit Hall.
Countless disciples of the Clear Sky Sect were killed or injured.
Even the four inherited soul bones were stolen.
Within days, news spread.
A battle between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect resulted in utter casualties for the Clear Sky Sect. Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, fearing death, disappeared.
The Spirit Master Guild's president, Ice Emperor Douluo, appeared to rescue the sect, preserving a Clear Sky Sect bloodline.
The Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect reached an agreement: the Clear Sky Sect would be renamed the Rat Sect, and the remaining fewer than fifty disciples would be forced into permanent seclusion. If Tang Hao dared to commit another offense or refused arrest after reappearing, the agreement would be void and the Rat Sect would be annihilated.
Upon hearing this, the nobles of the two empires and the major spirit master factions were horrified, yet relieved.
This included those who had secretly pledged allegiance to the Spirit Master Guild.
They were unaware of the true situation.
When Bibi Dong returned, and the Spirit Hall suddenly possessed two peerless Douluos, they were truly apprehensive.
Seeing Lin Hanye single-handedly defeat thousands of Spirit Hall spirit masters, including Bibi Dong and several Titled Douluo Elders, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The most amusing of these was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
They weren't happy that Lin Hanye had defeated Bibi Dong, but rather that the conflict between the two sides had finally begun.
