At noon, Dugu Bo arrived at Heaven Dou Academy. Having just returned from the Clear Sky Sect, he was in high spirits and beaming.
After all, he had single-handedly charged into the Clear Sky Sect, not only making the five Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect suffer a loss, but also having them send him off as if he were a god.
This was deterrence!
Otherwise, if the five Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect were truly ruthless, they could have completely had Tang Xiao hold him back. Once his spirit power was exhausted, the other four Titled Douluo Elders would swarm him.
However, the consequence of doing so would likely be the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect's foundation.
So, none of them dared to gamble!
They had no choice but to pay a huge price in exchange for Dugu Bo's departure.
Besides countless gold coins, this price also included various countless rare treasures, especially various rare metals and iron ores.
Originally, Dugu Bo had also demanded that the Clear Sky Sect hand over a Spirit Bone over 30,000 years old, but the Clear Sky Sect was not foolish. They could give him other things, but absolutely not a Spirit Bone.
Because Spirit Bones could increase spirit power, they were also worried that Dugu Bo would return and absorb the Spirit Bone, and after his strength increased, he would come back to the Clear Sky Sect to cause trouble.
Moreover, the Clear Sky Sect also didn't have any extra Spirit Bones. Tang Xiao's talent was not as good as Tang Hao's, but he could reach the level of a level 95 Titled Douluo at this age, relying on the Sect's heritage.
After he became the Sect Master, he completed all six of his Spirit Bones, which allowed his spirit power to advance by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, the Clear Sky Sect did still have Spirit Bones, but none that were over 30,000 years old.
Upon seeing Qi Lin and Dugu Yan, he immediately recounted how he had vented their anger at the Clear Sky Sect and handed over all the tens of millions of gold coins and various treasures compensated by the Clear Sky Sect to Dugu Yan.
In his words, these, plus the medicinal garden in the valley, were all Dugu Yan's dowry.
As for the rare metals and ores, he directly gave them to Qi Lin.
After doing all this, Dugu Bo then gloated, saying, "The Clear Sky Sect's losses this time won't recover for several decades."
This was indeed the case. When Tang Yuehua returned to the Sect to deliver living supplies, seeing the devastated state of the Sect, she almost thought she had gone to the wrong place.
After learning from Tang Xiao that all of this was done by Dugu Bo, she was even more shocked.
"Dugu Bo is actually this strong? Even Big Brother and the Elders couldn't do anything to him?"
Tang Xiao said with a solemn expression, "After this battle, the lost wealth is a minor matter, but there were hundreds of elite disciples in the Sect who were not quick enough to retreat and were affected by Dugu Bo's poisonous mist, directly dying."
"What!" Tang Yuehua was greatly startled again upon hearing this.
The death of hundreds of elite disciples could already be said to be a severe blow to the Clear Sky Sect.
If the elite disciples were like this, there was no need to think about how many ordinary disciples had died.
Then, Tang Xiao said in a deep voice, "Third Sister, what exactly is the grudge between Second Brother and Dugu Bo?"
Tang Yuehua sighed upon hearing this and could only tell Tang Xiao what had happened back then.
This included the grudge between Tang San's master and disciple and Qi Lin, as well as the matter of Tang Hao being severely injured and losing an arm by Dugu Bo.
Tang Xiao's expression had gradually become solemn after hearing about the grudge between Tang San's master and disciple and Qi Lin.
The name Qi Lin was not unfamiliar to him. Not only was his talent extraordinary, but there was also a peerless expert suspected to be a Limit Douluo behind him.
This was someone the current Clear Sky Sect absolutely could not provoke!
And when he heard that Tang Hao had been severely injured and lost an arm by Dugu Bo, his expression instantly became tense.
He had originally thought that since Tang Hao had escaped from Dugu Bo's hands, he should be fine, but he hadn't expected him to be so severely injured.
"Third Sister, why didn't you tell Second Brother to secretly return to the Sect back then?"
"In his current state, if he is discovered by Spirit Hall, his life will be in danger!"
There was a hint of blame in Tang Xiao's tone.
Tang Yuehua's tone was slightly aggrieved upon hearing this.
"Big Brother, you know Second Brother's personality. I tried to persuade him, but I couldn't stop him at all."
"He always felt guilty towards the Sect and refused to return to the Sect no matter what."
Tang Xiao sighed after listening.
Then he comforted Tang Yuehua, saying, "Third Sister, my tone was too strong just now, Big Brother."
Tang Yuehua comforted him, saying, "It's okay, Big Brother. The Sect has gone through such a change recently, I know you are also troubled."
Comforted by his younger sister, Tang Xiao sighed, his face full of worry.
He said to Tang Yuehua, "Little Sister, haven't you had contact with Qi Lin? What kind of person is he?"
Tang Yuehua thought for a moment, then said truthfully, "I've only met Qi Lin once and don't know him well, but he is gentle to others and seems to have a rather lazy personality. He really doesn't seem like someone who would actively cause trouble."
"On the contrary, the feeling I get from Little San's classmates and teammates is very bad."
After speaking, a relaxed expression appeared on Tang Yuehua's face, and she said, "Little San was probably led astray by his classmates and teammates before. Now that he is being personally trained by Second Brother, he will definitely grow into a towering figure in the future."
At this time, even though Tang Yuehua had discovered that Second Brother was not as omnipotent as she had imagined, she still had a strong filter for him.
Tang Xiao nodded, but remembering Tang Hao's personality, he thought for a moment and said to Tang Yuehua, "Third Sister, find a way to contact Second Brother and tell him to immediately return to the Clear Sky Sect to find me. Just say it's what I said."
He understood Tang Hao's personality better than Tang Yuehua, so he was very worried that Tang Hao would instill in Tang San the idea of taking revenge on Spirit Hall, Dugu Bo, and Qi Lin.
Although Tang Hao lost an arm because of Dugu Bo, Tang Xiao was also very angry, but he was more rational.
The current Clear Sky Sect could no longer afford to be tossed around!
Let's look at Tang Hao's enemies.
Spirit Hall, there's no need to say more about this. Tang Hao killed their Supreme Pontiff. If Qian Daoliu hadn't given face to Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect would have become history long ago.
Dugu Bo, a single person almost soloed the entire Clear Sky Sect.
Finally, there is Qi Lin. Leaving aside his own talent and connections for now, the existence behind him who is suspected to be a Limit Douluo is not someone the Clear Sky Sect can provoke.
This Second Brother of his, he specializes in high-level matches. He has offended almost all the most difficult people to provoke on the continent.
If this continues, the Clear Sky Sect will sooner or later be finished.
Tang Yuehua nodded seriously, saying, "Big Brother, I understand!"
Only then did a smile appear on Tang Xiao's face.
Then he thought for a moment and continued, "Little Sister, you have some connections in Heaven Dou City. If conditions permit, find an opportunity to have some contact with Qi Lin. It would be best to ease the relationship between him and Second Brother and Little San."
Tang Xiao knew that Tang Yuehua was best at socializing, so he entrusted this matter to her.
"Leave it to me!"
