Chapter 280 Elder 7 Angrily Slaps Tang 3! Was He Stunned?
Chapter 280 The Seventh Elder angrily slaps Tang San! Was he dumbfounded?
Meanwhile, in a secret chamber in the back mountain of the Haotian Sect.
Not long after the fake Tang Xiao and the fake Seventh Elder left, the stone gate was pushed open again.
This time, the people who walked in were none other than the solemn-faced Zhen Tangxiao, the frosty-faced Seventh Elder, and the equally serious-looking Second Elder and others.
Tang San, slumped on the ground, secretly relieved to have survived for the time being and eagerly awaiting his uncle and aunt's arrangements, was stunned when he saw the returning group, especially the Seventh Elder's even more grim expression. He instinctively blurted out:
"Uncle, Seventh Elder... why are you back again?"
His tone was somewhat bewildered and confused, completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
Tang San's words.
This also stunned Tang Xiao and the elders who had just entered!
"Back again?" Tang Xiao frowned, a deeply ominous premonition rising in his heart. He asked in a deep voice, "Third Brother, what do you mean by that? We were just discussing the alliance with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; this is our first time here!"
"What? First time here?!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San was struck dumb, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"Impossible! It was clearly you, Uncle, along with Seventh Elder and Aunt Yuehua, who came in together! You forced me to hand over the parchment containing the secret technique of exploding rings before leaving!"
"Seventh Elder, what else...?"
Before Tang San could finish speaking, the Seventh Elder, who had been unable to contain himself any longer, suddenly stepped forward and interrupted him sharply, his voice carrying a mocking tone, saying:
"Bullshit! You little beast, stop spouting nonsense and making baseless accusations!"
"When did I ever come here? And when did I ever take your parchment?! I think you just don't want to hand over the secret method of exploding the rings, and are just spouting nonsense to buy time!"
Tang San was also enraged by this sudden denial and insult. He forced himself to stand up and retorted angrily, "I'm slandering you? It was you just now! You came in with Uncle! You forced me to hand over the parchment, and now you want to go back on your word and deny it?!"
"You wicked child! How dare you try to argue!" The Seventh Elder was so angry that he trembled all over. He was convinced that Tang San was playing them for fools. New and old grudges surged into his heart at once, and he could no longer control himself. He suddenly swung out a palm, and a sharp palm wind slapped directly at Tang San's cheek!
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, how could the heavily injured and weakened Tang San possibly dodge the angry attack of a Title Douluo?
He was sent tumbling by the slap, crashing into the stone wall. Blood spilled from his mouth again, and a clear handprint instantly appeared on his face.
"Old dog! You...you dare hit me?!" Tang San, clutching his burning cheek, his eyes instantly filled with humiliation and a frenzied killing intent, struggled to get up, roaring:
"You faithless scoundrels! I'll fight you to the death!"
"Still dare to talk back! It seems you won't know your place until I teach you a real lesson!" The Seventh Elder was even more furious upon seeing this. He stepped forward, his soul power surging, ready to attack again.
"Stop, Seventh Elder!" Tang Xiao hurriedly stopped the enraged Seventh Elder, but his own face was also terrifyingly grim. He looked at Tang San, whose mouth was bleeding and whose eyes were filled with the venom of a wild beast, then at the Seventh Elder, whose face was ashen with anger, and said, "Calm down! Something seems fishy about this!"
The Seventh Elder was furious and struggled to roar:
"What else is suspicious! It's clearly this little beast..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
"Squeak—"
The heavy stone door to the secret chamber was pushed open once again.
Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tang Hu, the most outstanding disciple of the third generation, standing blankly at the door. He looked at Tang Xiao, the Seventh Elder, the Second Elder, and others in the secret room, then at the disheveled Tang San, and scratched his head unconsciously, asking in confusion:
"Huh? Sect Master? Seventh Elder, Second Elder, what are you all doing here?"
He paused, his face showing even deeper confusion, and muttered to himself:
"Then who were the Sect Master and the Seventh Elder that I saw outside just now?"
These words were like a thunderclap in the secret room!
Everyone froze instantly!
Tang Hu's unintentional remark.
Like a bolt of lightning, it cleaved through all the fog and doubts!
Could it be that... someone impersonated them just now?!
Realizing this, Tang Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted, and all the clues instantly connected in his mind. He exclaimed in a hoarse voice, "Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!"
"Someone impersonated us and stole the secret technique for exploding rings!"
Suddenly, the truth came to light!
It wasn't Tang San playing tricks, nor was it the Seventh Elder going back on his word. Rather, it was someone extremely skilled at disguise who beat them to the punch and staged a perfect "substitution" scheme, tricking Tang San into handing over the sect's most precious treasure!
"What?!"
The Seventh Elder, the Second Elder, and the others reacted instantly, and a surge of anger at being tricked and panic at the theft of their treasure welled up in their hearts.
"Chase!"
Without further hesitation, Tang Xiao roared and transformed into a streak of light. He didn't even have time to go through the door; he smashed through the stone window of the secret chamber and shot towards the outside of the sect, carrying boundless anger and urgency!
"You bastard! How dare you play tricks on this old man!!"
The Seventh Elder was so angry that his beard and hair bristled. He roared and followed Tang Xiao out of the window, unleashing his full soul power as he frantically searched for any suspicious aura within the sect.
The Second Elder and several other elders realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly dispersed using their movement techniques. They ordered all routes down the mountain to be sealed off and a thorough search to be conducted throughout the entire sect.
In the blink of an eye, the secret room, which had been crowded with people, became empty, leaving only Tang San lying on the ground, his face covered in blood and humiliation.
And Tang Hu, still somewhat bewildered, stood at the door.
…………
As soon as Tang Xiao rushed out of the secret chamber, his figure did not stop. In an instant, he rose from the ground and hovered in mid-air above the Haotian Sect.
His face was ashen, and his Title Douluo-level spiritual power surged like a tidal wave, sweeping wildly from him across the sect buildings, mountain paths, and every corner below!
The disciples within the sect were all startled by this sudden and powerful mental pressure, and they all looked up, bewildered.
The speed of the mental scan was extremely fast. In just a few breaths, Tang Xiao's gaze suddenly locked onto the main road leading to the mountain gate!
There, a figure dressed in gray, with a burly build and a face exactly like his, was walking slowly toward the mountain gate, looking calm and even occasionally nodding to the unsuspecting disciples who were passing by!
The realism was so great that even Tang Xiao himself was momentarily dazed.
"Who are you, scoundrels?! How dare you toy with my Haotian Sect like this?!"
