"This..."

As Tang Yuehua invoked the name of their grandfather, Tang Chen, Tang Xiao's resolve began to waver. He too wished to see the Clear Sky Sect rise to glory once again. But the mere thought of the Spirit Hall's power stirred fear in his heart.

He had personally experienced the fierce battles with Spirit Hall in the past and was well aware of their might. It was precisely because of this that, despite repeated requests from the five elders and many inner disciples to lift the sect's seclusion, he had suppressed all dissent using his authority as Sect Master.

"Yuehua, you know that I..." Tang Xiao tried once again to emphasize the strength of Spirit Hall, but before he could finish, Tang Yuehua interrupted him.

"Big Brother, I know what you're about to say. I'm well aware of how powerful Spirit Hall is—that's exactly why I brought His Highness the Crown Prince with me.

Today, the Star Luo Empire boasts a powerful military and a thriving national strength. Its overall power is second only to Spirit Hall. I firmly believe that if our two forces unite, we can stand against Spirit Hall!"

At that point, Tang Yuehua gave Dai Weisi a meaningful glance, silently signaling: Your turn, Your Highness.

Dai Weisi gave a slight nod, understanding that it was his cue to speak. He stepped forward solemnly.

"Your Excellency Howling Sky, the Star Luo Empire currently has three Titled Douluo. I believe you are also aware that our royal family possesses a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill known as the Netherworld White Tiger."

"I've heard of it," Tang Xiao nodded, then recalled, "Back when I wasn't yet Sect Master, I encountered a couple much younger than me—probably members of the Star Luo royal family.

We had a disagreement which turned into a fight. During the battle, they unleashed the Netherworld White Tiger. It left a lasting impression on me.

At the time, I was merely a Level 60 quasi–Soul Emperor, and they were only two Soul Sect–level soul masters. Yet with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they managed to fight me to a standstill! Had I not used my full strength, I might not have won at all."

Hearing Tang Xiao recount this incident, Dai Weisi couldn't help but speculate about the couple's identity. Since they were younger than Tang Xiao, they could very well have been his parents—or perhaps his late uncle and aunt.

Tang Xiao continued, "In terms of combat effectiveness, the Netherworld White Tiger ranks among the top Martial Soul Fusion Skills. But so what?"

Dai Weisi smiled faintly and replied, "My grandfather and grandmother have both become Titled Douluo. When they use the Netherworld White Tiger together, their strength reaches that of a Level 98 Super Douluo, capable of briefly matching a Level 99 Peerless Douluo in battle!

My father is also a Titled Douluo. Though my mother is only a Soul Douluo, together they can fight against a Super Douluo as well.

Besides them, the Dai family has two or three other pairs capable of performing the Netherworld White Tiger to rival standard Titled Douluo.

In addition, the Star Luo Empire fields an elite army of over half a million troops!

We also maintain close ties with both Poison Douluo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. If the Clear Sky Sect were to join us, we would not only be strong enough to fight Spirit Hall—we might even destroy them completely!"

As he finished speaking, a chilling killing intent flashed in Dai Weisi's eyes, causing Tang Yuehua's heart to tremble.

The assassination attempt by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo—sent by Bibi Dong—made it clear that the relationship between the Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall was beyond repair. They were now mortal enemies.

As for the Clear Sky Sect, Dai Weisi held no fondness for Tang Hao or Tang San. But as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Tang San no longer posed a threat to him. Without the immortal herbs, Tang San would be powerless—unable to do anything but rage helplessly.

Compared to Tang San, Spirit Hall was the greater enemy.

As for stealing the Blue Silver Emperor and its right leg bone—so long as he kept quiet, who would ever suspect that the right leg bone was in his possession?

Besides, Tang Hao was no longer part of the Clear Sky Sect. Other than Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua, no one in the sect wanted Tang Hao, the "disaster," to return—especially not the five elders.

As for Tang San, in their eyes, he was nothing more than a half-soul beast bastard.

Upon hearing the names "Poison Douluo" and "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan," Tang Xiao's eyes lit up.

"Oh? His Highness also has ties to Poison Douluo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?"

"Indeed. Senior Dugu and I share a bond forged through life-and-death experiences. If you doubt me, Your Excellency, you can ask Sister Yuehua."

Tang Xiao glanced at Tang Yuehua, who nodded slightly. "It's true. On our way back to the Clear Sky Sect, we were ambushed by Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo of Spirit Hall. It was Senior Dugu Bo who saved us."

Learning that his sister had nearly been assassinated by Spirit Hall sent Tang Xiao into a fit of rage.

"As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, I've known Clan Master Ning for years. Our two forces also have business dealings."

Though he had yet to meet Ning Fengzhi, once Ning Rongrong returned to the clan and revealed her evolved Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Fengzhi would certainly rush to the Star Luo Empire to meet him.

"I see..."

Tang Xiao was visibly moved. If the Star Luo Empire, Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and Dugu Bo could form an alliance, then perhaps they truly could stand against Spirit Hall. Maybe even overthrow them entirely!

But one thing still held Tang Xiao back—the Spirit Hall's Grand Elder and Supreme Pontiff, Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu had long since made a name for himself. A Titled Douluo with soul power at Level 99, he was a contemporary of Tang Chen and possessed unfathomable strength.

A Peerless Douluo—his power was unimaginably terrifying. This was the root of Tang Xiao's hesitation.

Dai Weisi, unaware of Tang Xiao's inner turmoil, saw his prolonged silence and assumed he was still paralyzed by fear. He stood up, a look of disappointment on his face.

"I see... it appears Your Excellency's fear of Spirit Hall has sunk deep into your bones. That battle over a decade ago must have shattered your courage.

Since that's the case, I shall take my leave. I won't trouble Your Excellency any further."

Bang!

Just as Dai Weisi turned to leave, a thunderous crash sounded behind him. Tang Xiao had slammed his palm onto the table, his expression twisted with anger.

"Who said that?! Who said I've lost my courage to Spirit Hall?! I just..."

"Just what?" Dai Weisi cut him off coldly. "A man must fight for his dignity, if nothing else! Spirit Hall already tried to assassinate Sister Yuehua, and yet you, her elder brother, are still making excuses for your cowardice instead of seeking justice?

Honestly, Sister Yuehua is truly pitiful—nearly forty years old and still forced to take care of a bunch of cowards!"

"Your Highness, please stop!"

Hearing those words, Tang Yuehua quickly stood up and grabbed his hand, pleading for him to stop speaking. She feared that if Tang Xiao's fury erupted, he might strike Dai Weisi dead on the spot.

Tang Yuehua turned to look at her brother. As expected, Tang Xiao's expression was terrifyingly dark—like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

"No, His Highness is right! Sect Master, you've become weak!"

Suddenly, a deep voice came from outside the door. Five white-haired elders strode into the room.
