In just over a month, several cities near the Haotian Sect had seen several vicious incidents caused by disciples of the Haotian Sect, and most of the evildoers were from the older generation. These people had once lived in the Haotian Sect's heyday, but now that they were born, their beastly nature was completely undisguised. Only the fourth generation of young disciples would exercise restraint to a certain extent.
Tang Xiao was troubled by this, but he would not change anything. On the contrary, he was still very encouraging in his heart.
As for these people who have closed themselves off from the world in the Haotian Sect, the world has probably already forgotten the majesty of the Haotian Sect. The disciples' actions, to some extent, are also promoting the Haotian Sect.
This morning, after reading the Wuhun Daily, Tang Xiao quickly negotiated with the three elders in the hall.
"Three elders, since the Spirit Hall is willing to provide this platform, why can't our Haotian Sect use this conference to restore our former glory?" Tang Xiao expressed his thoughts.
However, he couldn't just go to the Seven Major Sects Re-election Conference alone. Although the victory or defeat of the Sect Leader Battle accounted for 40% of the total score, if three elders did not participate in the Elder Battle, they might be eliminated in the first round.
The fourth elder took the lead in expressing his opinion, "I agree with the Sect Master. Our Haotian Sect has been closed to the world for too long. Some villains may have forgotten how powerful we are. This opportunity is also a good time for us to show our strength to the world."
Ever since being tricked by Xue Qinghe, the Fourth Elder's voice in the Haotian Sect has weakened a lot. He is eager to gain more voice for himself through this conference.
The second elder said in a deep voice, "Fourth Elder, don't be abrupt. The Spirit Hall will send out the announcement, and they probably guessed that we would go. The meeting will be held in Spirit City, which is the base of the Spirit Hall. If we go there rashly, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. Sect Master, this matter needs to be considered carefully, and we must not rush."
Two voices appeared at the same time, and Tang Xiao had a headache. The fourth elder, who wanted to make a contribution, would support his proposal. But the third elder, who wanted to be safe, would definitely support the second elder. In a two-on-two situation, no one could convince the other.
But soon, a turning point appeared.
When they evacuated, the fourth elder brought Tang Yuehua back with him. However, the confidants that Tang Yuehua had cultivated in Tiandou City over the years were not implicated.
So, after getting the news, she immediately came to report.
The second elder said with an unhappy look on his face: "Yuehua, why did you rush in so hastily?"
Tang Yuehua was a ninth-level soul warrior. If it weren't for Tang Xiao, she would have been expelled from the Haotian Sect long ago. But even with Tang Xiao's support, she couldn't just barge into such an important meeting.
"Three elders, sect leader, my people brought back news from the Tiandou Imperial Palace. Xue Qinghe intends to attack our Haotian Sect in the name of the disciples of the Haotian Sect affecting the security of the empire. Moreover, at the court meeting this morning, the Tiandou Empire has already established a plan, and they will take action soon."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Elder said angrily, "Humph, Xue Qinghe set a trap to harm me in the past, and now he dares to attack the Haotian Sect. I think he is tired of living. Sect Master, Second Elder, I will go to the Tiandou Palace in person to find Xue Qinghe to argue with him!"
"Fourth brother, no." The second elder stopped him quickly.
Are you kidding ? Xue Qinghe is the legitimate emperor of the Tiandou Empire. He is justified in attacking the Haotian Sect on the pretext of maintaining public order. Besides, how can they not know what kind of morals the disciples of the Haotian Sect are? If the Fourth Elder attacks the Tiandou Palace, what excuse will he use? Is it just a pretext of retaliation? Don't be naive. If you really do this, the Haotian Sect will be immediately labeled as a reactionary.
Xue Qinghe only needs to do some simple operations at that time, and they may also be charged with the crime of destroying the peace of the continent. Haotian Sect has offended many forces. If these people join forces with Tiandou Empire to attack them, it will be a disaster.
"I think Xue Qinghe's intention is to use the name of public security as a pretext. What he really wants to do is to take advantage of the opportunity to restrict the development of our Haotian Sect." The third elder sneered.
Seeing that they were still arguing, Tang Xiao waved his hand and said, "Yuehua, there's nothing important, you can go down first."
After Tang Yuehua left, he expressed his opinion: "The sect's current base is located in a remote area, and the roads in and out of the sect are very dangerous. In the past, when the sect was on the defensive, this was the best choice. But now the sect needs to expand, and the old methods are no longer applicable."
"When my grandfather was still alive, our Haotian Sect chose to support the Xingluo Empire. The Tiandou Empire may have taken such action for this reason."
"My idea is very simple. Now that we have been born, it is inevitable for us to expand on the continent. Why don't we move to the territory of the Xing Luo Empire and support the Xing Luo Royal Family again."
The second elder touched his chin and said, "The Spirit Hall is supporting the Tiandou Empire openly and secretly. The Xingluo Empire is now under great pressure and dares not approach rashly. Our move to the Xingluo Empire at this time is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Dai Tianfeng. I agree with the sect master's opinion, but how should the location of the new sect be finalized?"
"We haven't entered the Xingluo Empire for many years, so the sect must be extremely careful in choosing a location."
Speaking of this, Tang Xiao smiled in his heart.
The news brought by Tang Yuehua was bad news for Haotian Sect, but good news for Tang Xiao. Following the words of the Second Elder, Tang Xiao continued: "Second Elder, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a new location for the sect in a short period of time. We can't drag our families with us and look for a new location while we're walking. If the Tiandou Empire comes to the sect, should we resist or compromise?"
The second elder sighed. He couldn't think of a better idea.
Tang Xiao took out the newspaper and pointed to a paragraph on it. "Three elders, please take a look at the Spirit Hall's promise. Once we leave the Haotian Sect, anyone who dares to attack the sect will be tantamount to declaring war on the Spirit Hall. The content of this newspaper is consistent across the continent. The Spirit Hall will not shoot itself in the foot. Since they dare to promise, they will definitely keep their word."
"Since Xue Qinghe has surrendered to the Spirit Hall, it is even less likely that he would go against the Spirit Hall's wishes on this matter."
"Three elders, the re-election meeting of the seven major sects cannot be completed overnight. I am sure that the number of sects participating this time must be very large. During this period of time, we have the protection of the Spirit Hall. Doesn't this give the sects a lot of time to think about the new location?"
"This..." The second elder was speechless for a moment.
It was because of his words that Tang Xiao proposed. Now that he had no better proposal, how could he easily reject Tang Xiao? "Brother, in my opinion, this may be feasible. The Spirit Hall has done things with great fanfare and will never dare to go back on its word. Moreover, this is a good opportunity to promote the sect. Time is of the essence." The fourth elder took the opportunity to say.
The second elder thought for a long time and agreed with Tang Xiao's proposal. In exchange, he would have a greater say in the new sect's address.
…
On this day, the same scene was played out in all the major sects.
In general, going to the conference can protect the sect from threats during this period. Even the sects that have had conflicts with the Spirit Hall also plan to attend the conference. There is no other reason, the re-election conference of the seven major sects has become the focus of attention of the entire continent.
As long as the Spirit Hall is not stupid, it will definitely not attack them during the conference.
The content of this announcement announced the names of the sects that would participate in the conference. In addition, the Spirit Hall stipulated that the registration period would be five days, and the team that arrived at the Spirit City first after five days would be able to compete directly.
It is worth mentioning that the Haotian Sect, which was the focus of discussion among many people on the mainland yesterday, also appeared on the list.
Many people were not surprised by them. As the former world's number one sect, it was not surprising that they wanted to use the Seven Major Sects Re-Election Conference to regain their former influence after years of seclusion.
But there is one force on the list whose name is very eye-catching.
"Canaan Chamber of Commerce, they are not a chamber of commerce, why are they here to join in the fun?"
That’s right, the Canaan Chamber of Commerce also participated in this conference.
The nature of a Chamber of Commerce is very different from that of a sect. Logically speaking, the Spirit Hall should not allow them to participate.
Except for some great nobles, no one could figure out the reason behind this incident.
"The Spirit Hall just wants to use the power of the Canaan Chamber of Commerce to contain the Haotian Sect." Yu Xiaogang, who was very wise, quickly figured out the reason.
As for whether the Canaan Chamber of Commerce has a deep connection with the Spirit Hall, it is not important in Yu Xiaogang's eyes. Both are his enemies, so what if they are in cahoots with each other.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
In Haotian Sect, Tang Xiao looked at the contents of Wuhun Daily with an ugly expression.
"Canaan Chamber of Commerce, why are they here too?"
"If I remember correctly, Tang You's youngest son was killed by Canaan City's law enforcement team some time ago. Humph, I haven't gone to Canaan City to settle accounts with Han Yu yet, but he can't wait to cause trouble for us." The third elder said angrily.
Tang You is a disciple of his lineage. If Tang Xiao and the other two elders had not stopped him a few days ago, he would have already rushed to Canaan City.
The Canaan Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce, but they have been developing rapidly in recent years. Behind them are the three Titled Douluo Han Yu, Dugu Bo, and Li Tian. Although they are not a sect, their influence far exceeds that of the current Haotian Sect.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the purpose of their attendance at this conference is to compete with the Haotian Sect.
Tang Xiao said in a deep voice: "Third Elder, don't get excited. Since the Spirit Hall can allow us to participate in the conference, there is naturally no reason for them to reject the Canaan Chamber of Commerce. If we make a big deal about this, I'm afraid that many people on the mainland will stand up against us."
After a pause, he continued, "I've heard Yuehua talk about Han Yu. He had the strength of a Soul Douluo seven years ago, when he was only in his twenties. At his age, seven years have passed, so it's inevitable that he will become a Titled Douluo. But the number of times he has taken action is very few, and we don't know how strong he is now."
"If his strength exceeds mine, I'm afraid the title of the world's number one sect will fall into his hands."
Han Yu didn't attack very often, but Dugu Bo was the face of Canaan City. He had attacked at least 20 times in these years. And he was at least level 94, while the three elders of Haotian Sect were at most level 93. Moreover, they were old and could no longer exert the full strength of their respective levels.
The battle of the clan leader accounts for 40% of the weight, and there are three battles of elders, each accounting for 20%. As long as Han Yu wins the battle of the clan leader and Dugu Bo wins the next battle of elders, they can already lock in the victory in advance.
The sudden appearance of Cheng Yaojin gave everyone in the Haotian Sect a headache.
"Han Yu's talent is probably even better than that of the old sect master. Alas, it's a pity that the seventh elder offended him in the Star Dou Great Forest, otherwise our Haotian Sect would have gained a powerful ally." The second elder slumped in his chair, sighing repeatedly.
What happened in the past is in the past. Even if you regret it now, it's too late.
"Don't worry, Sect Master. The three of us old guys will win all three battles in the Elders' War even if it costs our lives." The fourth elder said in a firm tone.
"However, Han Yu doesn't seem to be very close to the Spirit Hall. Canaan City was built based on the Canaan Academy. I remember that Xue Qinghe originally wanted to build a separate academy for Han Yu. Later, when Xingluo and Tiandou clashed on the border, the Tiandou Empire gave the land that was originally intended for Han Yu to the Spirit Hall."
"The Spirit Hall also wanted to build an academy at that time. Han Yu was deprived of half of the jurisdiction for no reason. He must be upset about it. Perhaps we can find a breakthrough from this aspect."
The Haotian Sect was previously in a closed-door phase, so the channels for obtaining information were very limited, and Han Yu deliberately concealed it. Few people in the outside world knew about his relationship with the Spirit Hall. Without knowing the truth, it was normal for Tang Xiao to make such a judgment.
"No matter what, we should first deal with the issue of the sect's new headquarters. The re-election meeting of the seven major sects is just a bonus. As long as our Haotian Sect is still among the top three sects, there will be room for mediation on some matters in the future." The second elder made the decision.
…
A few days later, all the major sects went to the Spirit Hall one after another.
After Han Yu explained Ye Lingling's next training matters, he hurried to the Spirit Hall.
For those larger sects, there was no need for them to participate in the Seven Major Sects Re-election Conference, which started early. Only some small sects came here early for the safety of their sects.
In order to prevent them from causing trouble, the Spirit Hall came up with this countermeasure.
The people of these small sects naturally know their own strengths and weaknesses. Even the current winners will not choose to fight against the big sects with eggs. Moreover, being able to see the competition between the strong will be of great help to their future cultivation.
Bibi Dong would not come here to preside over the meeting before all the sects arrived. Currently, the task of maintaining order in the venue fell on Tie Niu.
Hu Liena listened to Bibi Dong's advice and used the credit of her action to win Tie Niu a chance to redeem himself with merit.
