After Tang Xiao and the others escaped, the Dai family patriarch and Xu Xing quickly turned around and ran away with them.
Bone Douluo and the others, who had been standing beside Bai Yu, saw Tang Xiao and the others about to run away and were about to give chase when Bai Yu raised her hand to stop them, indicating that they didn't need to worry about it.
"Your Holiness, why is that? The Clear Sky Sect dared to offend Your Holiness and launch a sneak attack from behind. Why not take this opportunity to capture them in one fell swoop?"
"Without Tang Xiao and the others, attacking the Clear Sky Sect will be a piece of cake. At that time, we will wipe out the entire The Clear Sky Sect to avenge Tang Laoqi's sneak attack on His Holiness!"
Tuoba Xi, displaying his sycophantic nature, sidled up to Bai Yu and began offering advice, his expression extremely excited, eager to act as Bai Yu's vanguard and storm into the Clear Sky Sect right now.
Tuoba Xi was overjoyed. He had been willing to be Bai Yu's lackey before only because Bai Yu wielded immense power inside Spirit Hall.
Furthermore, he was given a 100,000-year soul ring, which is why he immediately pledged allegiance to him.
But he didn't expect that Bai Yu's strength would be so great, even though there were rumors in Spirit Hall that the Holy Son could fight the Pope.
But he had always thought this was just a publicity stunt. After all, how old was the Holy Son? Could he really fight the Pope? What a joke!
But now he has no doubts at all, and is genuinely happy to be Bai Yu's subordinate.
This isn't creating hype; it's clearly hiding the truth! Now, let alone the fact that His Holiness the Holy Son can fight the Pope, Tuoba Xi would be completely convinced that he can even fight the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu!
Bai Yu was unsure of Tuoba Xi's thoughts; otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to say.
Because of the two people Tuoba Xi was comparing himself to, he couldn't beat either of them right now.
Bibi Dong, needless to say, has already reached level 100, completed the divine power conversion, and her body is being nurtured by divine power, progressing towards a divine body.
Take Qian Daoliu for example. Although this old man is stuck at level 99, his soul power has been tainted by the power of the angel god due to his long-term worship of the angel god. He can even borrow the power of the angel god, making him a true demigod.
In front of these two, Bai Yu could only run away with his head in his hands; he had virtually no chance to fight back.
"Hiss, let them run. It's just the Clear Sky Sect, nothing to worry about."
"Besides, I already promised them that as long as they survived this move, I wouldn't pursue the matter further. If I go back on my word, wouldn't I lose all face?"
Bai Yu raised his hand and grasped his left arm, quickly setting his bones while responding to Tuoba Xi.
Tuoba Xi looked enlightened when he heard Bai Yu's words.
He felt that His Holiness was right. Since Tang Laoqi was about to die anyway, the remaining three, including Tang Xiao, were not worth His Holiness losing face for.
The group then returned to the Tiandou camp to find a healing soul master to treat Bai Yu's left arm injury.
Compared to Bai Yu and his group, Tang Xiao and the others, who had returned to the Star Luo camp, were in a much worse mood, and the atmosphere inside their tents was gloomy.
The Soul Master who was treating Tang Laoqi suddenly withdrew his Martial Soul, shook his head, and sighed, saying:
"Alas, this sir not only has shattered meridians and depleted soul power, but also severe blood loss. He is basically beyond saving and there is no hope of recovery."
"There are only two options now. The first is to leave him unconscious, which should give him a few more days to live."
"Secondly, I can stimulate his body with my soul power, which should wake him up for a while, but he will die immediately afterward."
After the healing soul master finished speaking, Tang Xiao and the others fell silent. Although they had expected this outcome, they still found it hard to accept when it actually happened.
Especially the fourth and fifth elders of the Clear Sky Sect, their eyes were red and their lips were trembling as they looked at Tang Laoqi.
Tang Xiao took a deep breath and turned to look at the healing soul master.
"In that case, please help me wake up the Seventh Elder."
"Sect Master…!"
"There's no need to say anything more. You two are both aware of the Seventh Elder's injuries. We can't save him. Rather than let the Seventh Elder suffer like this, it's better to see him one last time."
Upon hearing Tang Xiao's words, the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder fell silent, tacitly acknowledging the method.
After the healing soul master woke Tang Laoqi up, he withdrew on his own, leaving only the four members of the Clear Sky Sect inside the tent.
"Hehe, I'm still alive? That's good, I can see you all again."
"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, why are you crying? I acted impulsively today, and I should pay the price for it."
"Sect Master, I'm sorry, I, Tang Laoqi, have caused you trouble. But I don't care about anyone else, you must return alive, you must!"
"Because of my impulsiveness today, Spirit Hall will definitely... cough cough, will definitely retaliate. Although my second brother is experienced in handling affairs, he is not strong enough to protect the Clear Sky Sect."
"Sect Master, you must go back and take the people of The Clear Sky Sect to hide far away. Warn those brats not to even think about revenge."
"Ahem! That Holy Son of Spirit Hall is already inhumanly strong. As long as he is still alive, the Clear Sky Sect must endure him, even if it means begging on their knees!"
"Sect Master, the Clear Sky Sect is... in your hands now. I, Tang Laoqi, am sorry to... cough, I'm sorry to the sect..."
"Seventh Brother!"
After the Seventh Elder of The Clear Sky Sect woke up, Tang Xiao and the other two remained silent, standing by and listening to the Seventh Elder's last words.
Only after Tang Laoqi closed his eyes again did the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder burst into tears.
Tang Xiao gritted his teeth, then turned and walked out of the tent.
"Your Excellency, please accept my condolences."
The Dai family patriarch and Xu Xing were waiting outside. When they saw Tang Xiao come out, they both comforted him.
After all, they had fought side by side before, and now that the other person was about to die, they should at least come and see him off.
Tang Xiao sighed, his eyes filled with sorrow, and then said in a deep voice:
"Brother Dai, our The Clear Sky Sect will not be sending anyone out for this war, and I also need to return to the sect first."
"Now that we have offended the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, in order to avoid retaliation, I must arrange a way out for the people of my Clear Sky Sect."
After Tang Xiao finished speaking, the Dai family patriarch felt a bitter taste in his mouth and nodded in agreement.
He knew this was the consequence of not saving lives; from now on, the Clear Sky Sect would be unable to send anyone to the battlefield again.
These people today probably won't fight with all their might, but will instead try to find a way out and secure a chance of survival.
But what could he do? He could only agree. He hadn't their helped people before, and now he was expecting them to do something for him? How could that be possible?
The reason they haven't fallen out yet is because the pressure from Spirit Hall is too great.
While Tang Xiao was talking with the Dai family patriarch, in the Tiandou camp, Bai Yu waved his hand to disperse the water mirror in front of him, his lips twitching slightly.
"Do you think I look exactly like a villain from a picture book right now?"
"This whole thing Tang Laoqi did was actually quite touching; it even made me feel a little guilty, and I couldn't bear to target the Clear Sky Sect anymore."
