Chapter 127: Tang Hao Shows Up and Pledges His Allegiance!
As for the Strength Clan, they had long been forgotten by their three great sects.
Half a year ago, the four great sects held their annual meeting as usual, and this time, the meeting was set at the Strength Clan.
After all, their current territories were not very convenient—what if Tai Tan came over and discovered something?
Yang Wudi and the other two initially cherished the opportunity to persuade, given by Hu Bai, as the four single-attribute sects had always been united.
Even Bai He, who had some connection with the Clear Sky Sect, was now wholeheartedly loyal to Spirit Hall. So why would Tai Tan, an "outsider," continue to serve Tang Hao?
During the meeting, the three of them immediately put on an act. Yang Wudi suggested that their four great sects should merge and then join Spirit Hall to find an opportunity to get revenge on the Clear Sky Sect.
Before Tai Tan could object, Bai He and Niu Gao first cursed Yang Wudi to death, saying that it was Spirit Hall that had brought them to this situation, and he still wanted to join Spirit Hall!
This idea also received strong support from Tai Tan.
But gradually, Yang Wudi listed all the benefits of joining Spirit Hall.
First, Spirit Hall did not kill them when they left the Clear Sky Sect.
Second, by joining Spirit Hall, their clansmen would be protected, and the four of them might be able to advance further.
Third, and most importantly, the Clear Sky Sect had abandoned them, and Spirit Hall would sooner or later go to war with the Clear Sky Sect—this would be a good opportunity for their revenge.
Although Yang Wudi's cultivation was the lowest among the four, his strength was the strongest. Tai Tan and Niu Gao, known for their strength and defense, did not dare to directly withstand a single spear strike from him, even with all his amplifications.
Gradually, Bai He and Niu Gao were 'convinced,' showing some inclination, but Tai Tan still objected, and this matter was thus left unsettled.
Yang Wudi and the others felt deep regret. They could see that although Tai Tan claimed grievances against the Clear Sky Sect, he was still loyal to Tang Hao in his heart; he still wanted to be Tang Hao's dog.

"Today, taking this opportunity, while conferring my disciple Hu Bai as the Spirit Hall Holy Son, I also want to announce something: I have decided to betroth my daughter, Qian Renxue, the Spirit Hall Holy Maiden, to Hu Bai as his fiancée!"
Bibi Dong had done a lot of mental preparation and finally decided to make Qian Renxue's identity public!
Qian Renxue stepped forward, and five soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, and black—appeared on her body—a five-ring Soul King!
Moreover, her soul ring configuration was only slightly inferior to Hu Bai's.
This also made many people speculate whether Spirit Hall had mastered some resources that could enhance physique and mental power; otherwise, how could they break the theoretical limit?
Of course, this thought flickered past. What shocked them even more was: when did Bibi Dong have a daughter?!
This Seraphim Martial Soul was the Qian family's legacy martial soul. Could Qian Renxue's father be Qian Xunji?
"No, impossible! Bibi Dong, how could you have a daughter? I demand an explanation from you!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes turned red. The woman he loved but couldn't have had actually had a daughter with Qian Xunji!
What did that make him?!
Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang coldly. Before she could speak, a surge of soul power arrived first, blasting Yu Xiaogang several meters away and causing him to spit out a mouthful of old blood.
"Please call me Supreme Pontiff Your Excellency, and who do you think you are? Do I need to report to you if I have a daughter?" Bibi Dong's gaze was steady, her authority radiating.
This also made everyone present dare not speak or transmit their voices.
Bibi Dong's actions also gave Hu Bai and Qian Renxue a great sense of security.
Qian Renxue's eyes were moist, and she tried her best to hold back tears.
Hu Bai also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his teacher had truly let go; at least she no longer had feelings for Yu Xiaogang. When he made his move, he wouldn't have any more scruples.
Although the outcome wouldn't change, Yu Xiaogang would still die in the end.
Ning Fengzhi knew that at this moment, he should make a stand: "Supreme Pontiff Your Excellency, congratulations to the Holy Son and Holy Maiden on their happy union. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not bring overly valuable gifts this time.
Therefore, I have decided to bring my sect to join Spirit Hall, hoping to become an affiliated sect. I hope the Supreme Pontiff Your Excellency will not mind."
Damn it!
How shameless!
Yang Wudi and the others cursed inwardly. They had actually been preempted by this old fox. The three exchanged glances and simultaneously spoke: "Our Breaking Clan, Defense Clan, and Speed Clan are willing to bring all our clansmen to join Spirit Hall!"
With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the three great single-attribute sects leading the way, many smaller sects no longer hesitated and expressed their stance one after another.
Spirit Hall was so powerful; if they showed their attitude now, they might still get a share.
The most shocked was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire. He looked at Ning Fengzhi with disbelief.
Prince Xue Xing, beside him, also frowned and asked, "Sect Master Ning, what is the meaning of this? Does Emperor Xue Ye know about this?"
Chen Xin, nearby, snorted. "Does my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect need your imperial family's permission to do things? We were merely in a cooperative relationship before, and now that cooperation has ended."
Suddenly, the sky darkened with thunder and lightning.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed slightly. Chen Xin was protecting Ning Fengzhi. Enemy attack!
Bibi Dong's lips curved slightly: "Since you're here, why not show yourself?"
"Heh heh, your Spirit Hall injured my wife and caused the death of my Clear Sky Sect Sect Master. Today, it's time to settle this score!"
He then summoned a giant Clear Sky Hammer, breaking through the clouds and locking onto Hu Bai and Qian Renxue!
This Clear Sky Hammer was covered with a layer of red killing intent, flickering with lightning effects—obvious whose it was.
Bibi Dong was not in a hurry to move but instead glanced at Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
Chen Xin sighed slightly. He knew that if they truly wanted to join Spirit Hall, they would need a "letter of allegiance." He suddenly understood why Spirit Hall was so high-profile: they were using Hu Bai and Qian Renxue as bait to fish.
Chen Xin summoned his Seven Kill Sword and released his Seven Kill True Body. His Seven Kill Domain clashed with the opponent's Death God Domain.
Ning Fengzhi's support arrived shortly after. The Seven Kill Sword gained amplification, instantly breaking through Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.
Chen Xin's cultivation was inherently higher than Tang Hao's. Now, Tang Hao was only using his Martial Soul Avatar. If he didn't use Ring Explosion and the Great Sumeru Hammer secret techniques, Chen Xin was confident he could keep him at bay!
In fact, Chen Xin didn't believe his Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul was weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer. If it weren't for the Clear Sky Sect's Ring Explosion secret technique, he was confident that his self-created Soul Skill would not be weaker than the opponent's Great Sumeru Hammer!
