Chapter 237: The Angry Haotian Elder
"Yes, Senior, you're right. We acted too impulsively earlier and offended you."
Upon hearing Mo Hui's words, Tang Xiao immediately apologized with a smile.
The Haotian Sect's members were remarkably adaptable, as long as they understood the situation.
When Tang Hao caused trouble, they had even abandoned their affiliated forces and retreated to the desolate mountains to avoid direct conflict with the Spirit Hall. Now, they were simply repeating the same practice.
"Hmph! Lead the way."
With that, Mo Hui waved his hand, and the soul bone, which was about to fall to the ground, flew swiftly into Mo Hui's hands.
Seeing this, the hearts of the Haotian Sect members bled. While their sect was the preeminent sect in the world, ten-thousand-year soul bones were extremely rare. Even elders like them could only barely get a single one.
Furthermore, the quality of these ten-thousand-year soul bones was far inferior to the three inherited soul bones; they were merely ordinary ten-thousand-year soul bones.
Afterwards, Mo Hui, led by Tang Xiao and the others, headed towards the Haotian Sect's treasury.
As they walked, Mo Hui muttered, "No wonder Tang Hao attacked me over such a trivial matter. It turns out the circumstances were just that."
His voice was quiet, almost whisper-quiet, but everyone present was a Titled Douluo.
At that moment, they finally understood why none of them in the Haotian Sect had ever met Mo Hui, yet why he treated them so unkindly. It turned out someone had previously offended him.
"Tang Hao! Tang Hao again!"
Instantly, the faces of the three remaining Haotian Sect elders fell, their anger etched in their hearts.
They had been training Tang Hao as the next Sect Master, even having already given him two of the three inherited soul bones.
But Tang Hao not only failed to live up to their expectations by fusing with a spirit beast, but also caused great harm, leading to heavy losses for the Haotian Sect and forcing them to close the sect and retreat into seclusion. Even the previous Haotian Sect Master was irritated to death.
It was only because Tang Hao wasn't here right now, otherwise the three elders of the Haotian Sect would have likely purged the sect!
Tang Xiao's emotions were extremely complicated. As Tang Hao's older brother, it was difficult for him to blame Tang Hao for what had happened. However, the losses suffered by the Haotian Sect were substantial, and as the Sect Master, he had to consider them.
Entering the Haotian Sect's treasury, Mo Hui took a quick look and found that compared to the treasuries of the other two sects, the Haotian Sect's treasury was extremely shabby, not at all like the treasury of the world's foremost sect.
However, Mo Hui could understand this. After all, the Haotian Sect had been in seclusion for so long, and their former affiliated sects had almost completely disappeared due to their manipulation. With no external income, it was natural that they were running out of resources.
"Huh? It's not here?"
However, after a brief tour, Mo Hui was surprised to find no trace of the Jifengshi. His intuition clearly indicated that the Jifengshi was located nearby.
Then, Mo Hui turned to Tang Xiao and asked, "Is there any place around here in your Haotian Sect where you can store items?"
"There's also a place nearby where blacksmiths can store materials."
Tang Xiao paused for a moment before replying.
Mo Hui said, "Take me there. What I'm looking for isn't here."
Soon, Mo Hui arrived at the Haotian Sect's storage area for ironwork materials. After searching through the pile for a quarter of an hour, Mo Hui's eyes lit up. He had finally found the final artifact he was looking for: the Extreme Wind Arrow!
He then pulled the Extreme Wind Arrow, now as pure as black iron, from the pile and exclaimed, "I've finally found it!"
Seeing that Mo Hui's goal was just a piece of special scrap metal from the pile, the Haotian Sect's expressions turned grim.
For this piece of scrap metal and that illusory reputation, they had lost two Titled Douluo-level elders.
After finding what he needed, Mo Hui leaped onto Pidgeot and transformed into a stream of cyan light, leaving the Haotian Sect.
After Mo Hui left, the Seventh Elder of the Haotian Sect clenched his fists and roared to the heavens, "Tang Hao, you... deserve to die!!!"
Hearing this, Tang Xiao frowned and said, "Seventh Elder, you can't blame Tang Hao for this based on his one-sided account."
The Seventh Elder glanced at Tang Xiao and said in a cold tone, "With their strength, would they deliberately deceive us with something like this? Tang Hao must have provoked them outside. Otherwise, they have no grudge against our Haotian Sect, so why would they suddenly adopt such an unpleasant tone? Tell me, why!?"
In the Seventh Elder's opinion, if Tang Hao hadn't provoked the man in front of them, causing him to treat them rudely, why would they have confronted him just because he was looking for a piece of iron?
How could the Fifth and Sixth Elders have died at his hands?
Thinking of his own son's death at the hands of the Spirit Hall, resulting in the Haotian Sect's closure and seclusion, the Seventh Elder's eyes suddenly turned red.
Tang Hao, all this was Tang Hao's fault!
Don't let him find this traitor, or I'll skin him alive and tear his tendons apart, leaving him to suffer an eternity of unbearable death.
Meanwhile, dozens of miles from the Clear Sky Sect, a handsome young man in white, with a jeweled belt around his waist, was heading towards the Clear Sky Sect.
He examined the map and said, "If it weren't for the map my father gave me, I'd have found it hard to imagine a place like this could be the Clear Sky Sect."
This man was, of course, Tang San. With Hu Liena's help, he completed the Slaughter City trials much faster than in the original novel.
Furthermore, since he spent less time there, it was much easier to purify himself. He had condensed the original five years of training into four, completing the task.
"Speaking of which, I have Mo Hui to thank. If he hadn't inspired Xie Yue and Hu Liena, I wouldn't have made it so easy to pass through Slaughter City."
Tang San couldn't help but think of Mo Hui. Mo Hui's presence truly inspired the younger generation of geniuses. Even while studying aristocratic etiquette in Heaven Dou City, he discovered that his opponents from the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition had improved more than he had imagined.
A distance of several dozen miles wasn't too far for Tang San, now nearing the Soul Emperor stage. With his speed, he could reach the village in no time.
About half an hour later, Tang San arrived at the village in front of the Haotian Sect, which looked roughly the same size as Holy Soul Village.
Shortly after Tang San arrived, a burly middle-aged man approached and said, "Young man, please leave quickly. We don't welcome outsiders."
