Chapter 104 The Treasure Vault of the Hao Tian Clan_2

"Yes, what kind of enemy is it that warrants such treatment from my Hao Tian Clan?"

"Heh heh, no matter what kind of enemy they are, after today, they'll all become dead men."

'...'

The crowd was questioning a tall young man dressed in grey clothes.

And that young man was none other than Tang Long, the top among the younger generation of the Hao Tian Clan!

"Hmph."

He snorted coldly, "You better mind your own business when it comes to matters within the sect. Stay alert, watch carefully, and don't even let a fly get in."

He was different from these sect disciples, he knew some of the secrets of the sect.

And he was aware that the opponent the elders and many powerful members of Hao Tian Clan were facing was no pushover.

There could likely be casualties.

"I just hope the elders will have divine protection, as our Hao Tian Clan can't afford too many losses."

He stood on the cliff, gazing at the sea of clouds, silently praying in his heart.

But, the next moment, his expression grew tense.

"Did any of you hear something?"

He asked, his back facing the crowd.

"Sound?"

"What sound?"

The other sect disciples by the cliffside gathered around.

With confusion, they looked downwards.

And at that moment, a figure broke through the layers of mist and appeared before their eyes.

"It's a person!"

"An enemy attack!"

Tang Long recognized the figure, and it wasn't one of the Hao Tian Clan's elders or powerhouses.

"Stop him!"

He shouted urgently, the Hao Tian Hammer appeared in his hand, and his soul rings shone brightly.

"Thunder's Might Qian Jun!"

The Hao Tian Hammer in his hand, with the force of thunderous fury, was hurled towards the figure.

"Heh, an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating itself!"

Bone Douluo faced the fierce strike head-on without dodging.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black, nine soul rings burst forth from his body.

Then, his first soul ring lit up, a silver glow enveloped him, and he collided hard with the Hao Tian Hammer, not dodging at all.

"What!"

"He, he's a Titled Douluo powerhouse!"

"Gulp."

Everyone was stunned.

Boom!

Thud!

The Hao Tian Hammer, as big as a water bucket, hit Bone Douluo on the head, but it was the hammer that was sent flying, while Bone Douluo's momentum was undiminished.

"Sss..."

Having witnessed this scene, the onlookers once again gasped in shock.

Is a Titled Douluo this formidable?

To headbutt the Hao Tian Hammer?

"Quick! Sound the alarm!"

Tang Long yelled at the top of his lungs, and immediately someone sounded the alarm.

Dong dong dong dong...

Nine sonorous bell tolls spread throughout the Hao Tian Clan.

"Heh, I didn't expect you to react so quickly."

"However, that won't change the fate of the Hao Tian Clan being annihilated."

At this time, Bone Douluo had already reached the top of the cliff, hovering in midair and looking down at Tang Long and the others with a sneer.

"Your Highness, a Titled Douluo brazenly invading my Hao Tian Clan, do you really think my Hao Tian Clan is undefended?"

Tang Long took a deep breath and said coldly, "The bell has been rung, and in no time, the elders and powerhouses of the sect will be here."

Hmm?

Hearing what Tang Long said, Bone Douluo suddenly laughed, "Boy, are you trying to deceive me? Heh, interesting!"

"I'm not sure if you're fearless or ignorant."

"You might not know that the elders you just mentioned have already fallen, not even their bones remain."

What?

Tang Long's eyes widened in disbelief, "Impossible, this can't be. So many powerhouses of my Hao Tian Clan, how could no news get back?"

Bone Douluo didn't respond to Tang Long's words but instead, more people rushed up from below the cliff.

"Elder!"

"Elder!"

The crowd called out loudly.

"The attire of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

"You're disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

"How can it be that people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect are attacking our Hao Tian Clan?!"

"...."

As Tang Long and the many disciples of the Hao Tian Clan clearly saw the other side's attire, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

They never even dreamed that one day the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would attack the Hao Tian Clan.

"So, you must be the Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

"I wonder, what has my Hao Tian Clan done, to provoke such a grand display of aggression from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

"If there is any fault with my Hao Tian Clan, please, Senior, point it out, and we will surely amend it."

Tang Long looked at Bone Douluo, a stiff smile tugging at his lips.

"Heh heh."

"If only the elders of the Hao Tian Clan had the same awareness as you do, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in now."

Suddenly, another voice rose in the arena, and as everyone from the Hao Tian Clan turned towards the source, they saw a young figure emerge from behind Bone Douluo.

"Lingkong Xudu!"

"You, you're a Titled Douluo!"

Tang Long could stay calm no longer, pointing at Qin Xiao and shouting.

But immediately afterward, his eyes filled with terror. "You, you're the one the elders aimed to deal with, you are Qin Xiao!"

"Correct!"

Qin Xiao nodded, "As a reward, I shall grant you a swift end."

With that, Qin Xiao snapped his fingers crisply.

With a crack, a bolt of lightning ripped through the void, striking toward Tang Long.

"No!"

In panic, Tang Long cried out repeatedly, rejecting what was coming and even trying to dodge with all his might.

Yet, how could Qin Xiao's seemingly casual strike, one that even a Soul Sage could not withstand, be something Tang Long could resist?

The next moment, in the sight of everyone, Tang Long, the foremost youth of the Hao Tian Clan, perished.

Not even his corpse remained, turning into mere ash!

"All forces, attack!"

At the same time, Bone Douluo waved his hand grandly, ordering the assault.

The powerhouses of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, like tigers among sheep, begun their slaughter.

After dealing with the disciples guarding the mountainside, they advanced towards the true gate of the Hao Tian Clan.

In Soul Land, might is supreme.

Without its strong protectors, the Hao Tian Clan wasn't even a toothless tiger.

Under the leadership of Qin Xiao, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and others from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, nobody was a match for them; they swept through like a hot knife through butter.

They went straight for the jugular, easily occupying Hao Tian Castle.

Before the sect's treasury.

Ning Fengzhi said with some emotion, "Who would have thought that the once Number One Sect in the world would end like this."

In other words, he never thought that one day the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would ascend to the high grounds of the Hao Tian Clan.

A perfect illustration of how the idea that the upper three families are branches of the same tree is nothing but a joke.

"Who dares claim invincibility, who dares speak of being undefeated?"

"Not to mention the Hao Tian Clan, even the Martial Soul Hall is not forever unchallenged."

"Strength will always determine one's position."

After listening to Ning Fengzhi's words, Qin Xiao spoke indifferently.

He felt not the slightest ripple in his heart concerning the plight of the Hao Tian Clan.

Once again, showing mercy to an enemy is cruelty to oneself.

"Uncle Bone, please open the gate."

Ning Fengzhi set aside his emotions and addressed Bone Douluo standing beside him.

Bone Douluo did not speak, just gave a faint nod and took steps forward.

He placed both palms on the massive stone doors and gradually exerted force.

Boom rumble rumble.

The stone doors moved, emitting a deafening noise. At the same time, the contents of the treasury were revealed to everyone present.

"Ah, this..."

Bone Douluo's mouth fell open.

"Is this what the Hao Tian Clan's treasure vault looks like?"

Sword Douluo also gaped, making no effort to hide his surprise.

Qin Xiao also frowned slightly, "The treasure vault of the Hao Tian Clan is really poor, isn't it?"

Indeed.

Poor.

Never mind other things, there were only a small pile of golden soul coins, compared to the mountains Qin Xiao had envisioned, they were worlds apart.

Beyond that, not a single soul bone...

Only some finely crafted works of art remained...

"How much could these items be worth?"

"Five million, eight million, or ten million?"

Bone Douluo couldn't help but assess the value of the items.

"This, I really can't see the depth of the Number One Sect in the world."

Sword Douluo pursed his lips, "With such resources, my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is streets ahead of them."

"It's actually not too little, you know. The Hao Tian Clan has been isolated for many years, some of its assets were operational, but not much was generated, and over the years, they had mainly depleted their resources."

"Besides..."

Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile, "Brother Qin, Uncle Jian, Uncle Bone, aren't you forgetting that for a Soul Master, it's not the money that matters most, but the soul bones? The elders of the Hao Tian Clan and strong figures like Tang Xiao contributed over a dozen soul bones, treasures that even wealth can't buy."

What he meant was, we've obtained the most precious treasures; if there are fewer items in the treasury, it's still acceptable.
