Chapter 25: Does right or wrong matter?

……

"I heard you have a younger sister?" Nan Feng said.

"She's quite pretty, huh."

Tang Xiao's expression stiffened. "What does the Senior mean?"

Tang Yuehua was not a Spirit Master and had never participated in Clear Sky Sect affairs. The affairs of the Spirit Master world had nothing to do with her. Moreover, that girl had left the Clear Sky Sect after coming of age and went to Tiandou City. This incident happened suddenly, and he was worried about accidents on the road, so he didn't let Tang Yuehua return to the Clear Sky Sect.

After all, that girl wasn't even a Spirit Master. In the unwritten rules of the Spirit Master world, conflicts between Spirit Masters would not affect ordinary people who were not Spirit Masters!

Could it be that the Spirit Hall was already shameless to this extent? "It doesn't mean anything. I'm just complimenting your sister for being pretty. Is that not allowed?" Nan Feng said.

"Senior, Yuehua is not a Spirit Master!" Tang Xiao reminded him.

"And regarding this matter, I believe the Senior is very clear about the rights and wrongs!"

It was clearly their own failed robbery, and now they were blaming others! Did they really take everyone for idiots? Tang Hao went crazy? He went to attack three Spirit Hall Titled Douluo alone? "I know," Nan Feng sat up.

"I know this matter was actively caused by Qian Xunji. He was inferior in skill, and I even know how he died."

"Then why, Senior..."

"But so what?" Nan Feng smiled.

"Sect Master Tang, you have to be clear about this matter: the Spirit Hall is not attacking the Clear Sky Sect to avenge the Pope; the Spirit Hall simply intended to mess with you guys in the first place!"

After Bibi Dong succeeded as Pope, she naturally received the information Qian Xunji had before.

When he was bored and guarding Bibi Dong, he would flip through these confidential materials as sect gossip, and one of them was the action plan against the Clear Sky Sect.

That year, the Spirit Hall Titled Douluo who made a move to rob the hundred-thousand-year transformed spirit beast beside Tang Hao, besides coveting the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone, was also looking for trouble!

The old Clear Sky Sect Master, to put it bluntly, was quite cowardly.

And this cowardice had its reasons. In the past, Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect had superb strength, and was even called the two peaks of the Spirit Master world together with Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall—insurmountable peaks.

Behind this glory, there were also huge risks.

Qian Daoliu was strong, but he wasn't the only one who was strong; the Spirit Hall's elders and elders were also equally powerful, and Qian Daoliu cared most about the development of the Spirit Hall.

But Tang Chen was different. Tang Chen's strength was his own strength, and it didn't have much to do with the others in the Clear Sky Sect. Below Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect's strength had a huge gap.

Tang Chen was there, and the Clear Sky Sect was invincible.

Tang Chen was gone, and the Clear Sky Sect would split apart in minutes!

Plus, Tang Chen left suddenly that year. Let alone outsiders, even the Clear Sky Sect itself hadn't reacted yet.

Tang Chen's personality was wild and uninhibited, and according to informed sources, that guy's emotional intelligence was ridiculously low! Although he was powerful, Tang Chen had been wandering the Spirit Master world for many years and had no friends! In fact, they were all enemies! Only one Qian Daoliu could be called a best friend.

According to the relevant materials he found in the Spirit Hall, when Tang Chen was wandering the Spirit Master world, he fought wherever he went!

And that guy was also fierce!

Facing opponents in the same realm, he had never lost. This flashy personality led to Tang Chen having too many enemies in the Spirit Master world. He would beat someone down with one hammer, or beat them into disability, and then he would leave.

Unlike Qian Daoliu, as long as he decided to make a move, there was no such thing as sparring; it was all about deciding the winner and deciding life and death.

Qian Daoliu never left any trouble behind when he made a move. The only one who could leave alive after fighting him was Chen Jianjun, the father of Chen Xin.

And this wasn't because Qian Daoliu was soft-hearted, but because Chen Jianjun didn't have many days to live at the time, and the Seven Kill Sword was passed down through one person. Qian Daoliu knew best what kind of person that sword practitioner was.

Being inferior in skill was just being inferior in skill. Even if you died, you died; you wouldn't harbor hatred.

But Tang Chen was different. He would smash down with one hammer. If you resisted and didn't lose, he would smash another hammer. If you didn't resist and lost, whether you died or were disabled, Tang Chen would pat his butt and leave.

And those who survived all became potential enemies of the Clear Sky Sect. After Tang Chen disappeared, those families, or they themselves, had been harassing the Clear Sky Sect for decades. It was precisely because he took over as Clear Sky Sect Master under such internal and external troubles that the old Sect Master was quite cautious in handling these matters, even to the point of being timid.

Tang Hao was attacked by a Spirit Hall Titled Douluo, and Tang Hao defended himself legitimately. Was there a problem?

No problem! Absolutely no problem! But the old Sect Master just felt that Tang Hao was wrong; he shouldn't have hurt the Spirit Hall Titled Douluo, because it would bring trouble to the sect.

When he saw these materials in the Spirit Hall, he really almost laughed himself to death! His own son was being hunted down, and after the incident, he didn't think about whether his son was okay, but worried about whether the other party would retaliate, and even because of excessive worry, he angered himself to death.

He was truly a talent! "Intended to in the first place?" Tang Xiao's face became extremely ugly.

They weren't even acting anymore! "To be honest, personally, I think Tang Hao didn't do anything wrong," Nan Feng said.

"Regardless of whether the hundred-thousand-year transformed spirit beast he was carrying was his true love, it was also a treasure in his hands. Whether others were moved by lust or greed, as long as they made a move, they naturally had to be prepared to be counter-killed."

"Even if Qian Xunji died, he deserved it."

"However, Sect Master Tang, do you think right or wrong matters?"

Tang Xiao frowned. "Doesn't it matter?"

"Of course it doesn't matter," Nan Feng said.

"Tang Hao was indeed not wrong, but the Spirit Hall said Tang Hao was wrong, so he was wrong. In fact, most people on the continent now think so. Even many of your own people in the Clear Sky Sect think so, right?"

From the time Tang San returned to the Clear Sky Sect, one could see the attitude of those elders. They were full of anger towards Tang Hao because Tang Hao caused the Clear Sky Sect to suffer heavy losses and even seal the mountain for twenty years.

No one cared why Tang Hao fought the Pope. Or rather, in their eyes, even if Qian Xunji wanted to kill Tang Hao for no reason, he should have endured it and not resisted, because once he resisted, it would bring disaster to the Clear Sky Sect.

They didn't care if Tang Hao was right or wrong; they only cared that Tang Hao brought huge losses to the Clear Sky Sect.

"Then what is the Senior's intention in coming today?" Tang Xiao's face was very ugly.

He naturally knew that what the other party said was the truth. Recently, the Clear Sky Sect had been full of curses against Tang Hao, scolding him for why he didn't stand up to take responsibility when the Spirit Hall came to the door, since he dared to fight.

No one had thought about how much Tang Hao had paid to fight three Spirit Hall Titled Douluo alone, or whether Tang Hao was even alive now.

No one cared; they only knew the Spirit Hall army had come.

Does right or wrong matter? It really doesn't matter.

Clearly, as long as one wasn't blind, one could see that the Spirit Hall had become increasingly overbearing in recent years, and its attitude towards the two great empires and the Seven Great Sects had become increasingly high and mighty. Tang Hao's incident was just an excuse. Even without this incident, the Spirit Hall would still find an opportunity to go to war with the Clear Sky Sect.

Because the Clear Sky Sect was the strongest of the Seven Great Sects and the world's number one sect.

Defeating the Clear Sky Sect would allow the Spirit Hall's reputation, influence on the Spirit Master world, and ruling power to reach a higher level!

But no one was willing to admit this, regardless of whether they saw through this truth.

They were all complaining: why did Tang Hao disappear? If Tang Hao appeared, he could definitely appease the Spirit Hall's anger, and the Clear Sky Sect wouldn't have to face war.

But in fact? He knew very well that even if Tang Hao appeared today, or even if Tang Hao died here, the Spirit Hall would still continue to attack the Clear Sky Sect!

The Pope died, and it was related to the Clear Sky Sect—this was such a good excuse for war!

It was so righteous that even he, the enemy, couldn't refute it.

With such a reason, how could the Spirit Hall give up?

Before the Clear Sky Sect was crippled, the Spirit Hall couldn't withdraw its troops!

This war could never have been resolved by peaceful means from the beginning!
