Chapter 404 Poison Array Seals Off Haotian Sect

Getting back to the main point, Dugu Bo knew that his poison was highly contagious. Therefore, after releasing the poisonous mist, he immediately controlled the poison and used it to form a huge magic array, which enveloped the entire Haotian Sect while preventing the poison from spreading outwards.

Dugu Bo's actions were significant, and since they made no attempt to conceal them, the titled Douluos of the Clear Sky Sect noticed what Dugu Bo was doing and hurriedly rushed out.

"Are you Dugu Bo? You have no grudge against the Haotian Sect, so why are you opposing them?"

Thanks to the information provided by his sister Tang Yuehua, Tang Xiao knew that the titled Douluo standing next to Dugu Bo was the Xuanzi of the Ice Palace. When the Ice Palace was born, the Haotian Sect had been in seclusion for nearly three years, so there was no conflict between the Haotian Sect and the Ice Palace.

Of course, there are some conflicts. When the top three sects were re-selected, the Haotian Sect was the leader of the top three sects, but now this title has been taken over by the Ice Palace. In addition, the Haotian Sect's former affiliated sects have also been incorporated into the Ice Palace. Therefore, there are some conflicts between the Haotian Sect and the Ice Palace. However, these are not major issues and there is no need to resort to violence.

It was this realization that made Tang Xiao believe that Dugu Bo was the mastermind, and Xuan Zi was just someone Dugu Bo had invited to keep things under control. As the sect leader of Haotian Sect, Tang Xiao naturally had to take the lead and stand up to question Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo ignored Tang Xiao and, after setting up the formation, directly addressed Xuanzi, saying, "I have done as you requested. I do not know the reward..."

"You'll get your reward later," Xuanzi said, waving his hand dismissively.

After listening to their conversation, Tang Xiao realized that he had found the wrong mastermind. He then questioned Xuan Zi: "Haotian Sect and Ice Palace have no enmity. Why did you have Dugu Bo set up a poison array around our Haotian Sect's territory?"

Although the Haotian Sect had fallen on hard times, arrogance still remained in their bones, and Tang Xiao's tone revealed a hint of pride as he spoke. Xuanzi didn't indulge him and directly released his own aura. The elders of the Haotian Sect and Tang Xiao all turned red in the face, struggling to resist Xuanzi's pressure.

"Whether Haotian Sect has offended my Ice Palace is not my concern. The question should be how your cowardly brother taught your bastard nephew. At such a young age, he is not learning anything good and dares to steal our Ice Palace's unique skills. He is truly courting death."

After hearing Xuanzi's words, the elders of Haotian Sect were all furious, especially the Seventh Elder, whose eldest son had died, who cursed loudly: "We kicked that bastard Tang Hao out a long time ago. If he has the guts, go find him! What kind of guts do you have to come to us!"

"That brat who committed the offense is still a junior; it would be shameful to lay a hand on him. I can't find Tang Hao anytime soon, and I don't have the time to look for him. As for your expulsion of Tang Hao from the sect, it's a joke to me. Since he's been expelled, what the sect gave him should naturally be taken back. Only a gentleman like Qian Daoliu would believe your nonsense. If Tang Hao dares to kill my son, even if I can't find that coward hiding in some ditch, I'll grind his sect to dust. As the saying goes, the son pays for the father's debts. Tang Hao's father is gone, so naturally he should seek an explanation from his elder brother and his sect!"

Judging from the pressure released by Xuanzi, Tang Xiao realized that Xuanzi's current strength was probably close to level 99. Even if the entire Haotian Sect were tied up, they wouldn't be enough for Xuanzi to beat. The Haotian Sect could no longer withstand the storm. Rather than fighting Xuanzi head-on, it would be better to back down and compensate Xuanzi.

"No need for compensation. I've already arranged the punishment for you. Since the Haotian Sect has chosen to go into seclusion, then you should go into seclusion properly and stop causing trouble."

After speaking, Xuanzi ignored the group from the Haotian Sect and left the sect's territory with Dugu Bo. No sooner had Xuanzi and Dugu Bo left than the Seventh Elder discovered that his soul power had been reduced by more than half in just a few minutes. If he continued to stay there, he might not be able to withstand it.
