Chapter 159 The Rat Sect
The gates of Haotian Castle slowly opened.
The disciples of Haotian Sect emerged in dense crowds, including the elderly, women, and children, with their families in tow.
Besides the direct and collateral branches of the Haotian Sect, there are also affiliated forces of the Haotian Sect, the most typical of which are the four clans of Strength, Defense, Agility, and Destruction.
The total population of the Haotian Sect exceeds one thousand.
At this moment, under Tang Tian's order, these people gave up resisting and became fish to be slaughtered.
They obediently left the castle.
The Spirit Hall's Angel Legion stepped forward and separated these people.
The thousands of people were divided into four groups.
The Haotian Sect's affiliated forces are located in a separate place.
Adult men were grouped together, while women were gathered in one place.
The rest were all underage children.
Qian Xunji looked at these people and said, "Because you shamelessly attacked my Spirit Hall's branch on the continent, causing heavy casualties to my Spirit Hall."
Blood debts must be repaid in blood. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, I naturally have the duty to seek justice for them.
Originally, I intended to completely annihilate your Haotian Sect.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Haotian Sect were immediately gripped by extreme fear, terrified and in a state of chaos.
The Angel Legion quickly maintained order, and any troublemakers were immediately attacked with punches and kicks, causing the once noble Soul Masters of the Clear Sky Sect to flee in terror.
Tang Tian was also filled with unease.
However, judging from Qian Xunji's tone, she seems to have changed her mind.
Sure enough, Qianxun paused for a moment and said, "However, I am merciful and unwilling to start a bloodbath."
The members of the Haotian Sect all breathed a sigh of relief, including Tang Tian.
Seeing their reaction, Qian Xunji smiled mockingly, "But the Haotian Sect can no longer continue to exist. I have already considered this for you."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a cardinal from the Spirit Hall stepped out from behind him.
The cardinal held a plaque that read "Rat Clan".
"From this day forward, the Haotian Sect will be renamed the Rat Sect."
These words were spoken.
The entire Haotian Sect was filled with indignation, their eyes bloodshot and their breath ragged.
A hot-tempered young man gritted his teeth and said, "Absolutely impossible! We will never accept such an unreasonable demand. The honor of the Haotian Sect cannot be dishonored by us."
After someone took the lead, the others mustered their courage and said, "Yes, the Haotian Sect cannot be humiliated. We are proud of the Haotian Sect."
"We, the Haotian Sect, would rather die standing than live on our knees."
"Spirit Hall, you can harm my body, but you cannot insult my dignity. The Clear Sky Sect cannot be humiliated."
One after another, the Clear Sky Sect Soul Masters stepped forward and issued strong protests.
Qian Xunji nodded slightly, his eyes revealing appreciation. "Alright, you want to die heroically, is that it? I'll grant your wish. Men, send these heroes on their way."
The words were spoken.
Upon receiving the order, the angelic legion immediately sprang into action, charging into the crowd and dragging out these "heroes."
More than twenty "heroes" were arrested.
These people were forced to kneel in a row in front of the Haotian Sect members.
Behind each member of the Clear Sky Sect stood an Angel Legion Soul Master, wielding a sword and acting as an executioner.
Seeing this, the "heroes" were immediately panicked, realizing they were about to be beheaded.
The louder they shouted just now, the more terrified they are now.
Few people can remain calm when facing death.
"No, please don't kill me! I was wrong, Your Holiness the Pope, spare my life!"
Some people were so frightened that they immediately began to beg for mercy.
However, the angelic legions wouldn't listen to his nonsense.
With a swift stroke, one after another, fine heads fell to the ground, rolling around wildly, and glaring blood gushed from their necks.
Upon witnessing this bloody scene, the members of the Haotian Sect fell silent, not daring to even breathe.
Only now do they truly realize that this is not a game, but a brutal war of life and death.
The Spirit Hall is truly capable of unleashing a bloodbath!
The scene was deathly silent.
Qian Xunji smiled slightly, "If the Haotian Sect is renamed the Rat Sect, will anyone object?"
The Soul Masters of the Clear Sky Sect fell silent, and no one dared to step forward again.
Tang Xiao was furious. Among those killed was the Seventh Elder's son! Tang Xiao was enraged and wanted to take action, but was stopped by his father, Tang Tian.
"Calm down. As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild. The Spirit Hall is powerful right now, so we must preserve our strength."
Tang Tian tried to dissuade his impulsive son, but he also felt extremely frustrated. He wanted to fight the Spirit Hall to the death, no matter what.
But he couldn't do that. As the sect leader and the helmsman of the Haotian Sect, he had to consider the life and death of the sect, not just his own momentary pleasure.
The elders around Tang Tian were all seething with hatred. But with the Spirit Hall's power so great, they could only swallow their anger in order to preserve their sect.
They knew full well that forcing their way out would only result in meaningless sacrifices.
Qian Xunji looked at Tang Tian with a mocking expression, "I won't force you. How about this, either change your name or destroy your sect, you can choose one."
This is a disgrace, a blatant disgrace.
If the Haotian Sect were to truly change its name, it would forever be condemned to the pillory of history.
But what can we do if we don't accept it? Are we really going to let the sect's foundation be destroyed?
Tang Tian gritted his teeth and said with bloodshot eyes, "Fine, from today onwards, the Haotian Sect will be renamed the Rat Sect."
After saying this, Tang Tian seemed to lose all his strength and became listless.
At this moment, his body appeared hunched over, like that of an elderly man in his twilight years.
The members of the Haotian Sect, from top to bottom, were filled with humiliation, but not a single one dared to utter a sound.
"Hahaha..." Qianxunji clapped his hands and laughed, "Good, good, good! Sect Leader Tang is indeed pragmatic and considerate of the big picture. I admire him."
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi was so angry that he felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Dad!" Tang Xiao exclaimed in shock.
"The sect..." The others also looked bewildered and lost.
Qian Xunji's expression shifted slightly; it seemed this old fellow was nearing the end.
He then stopped wasting time and focused his gaze on the women of the Haotian Sect.
Many say that one should not bring misfortune upon one's family, but Qian Xunji, as the ruler, would not listen to such nonsense.
No snowflake is innocent during an avalanche.
These women bore children for the Clear Sky Sect, continuing the family line. Their children will also oppose the Spirit Hall in the future.
War, war, because of struggle.
What they're fighting over is resources, of course.
Resources include anything of value, such as land and money, and naturally, women, being two-legged creatures, are included as well.
