Douluo: Two brothers in douluo (completed)

With the Four Great Clans gathered, Yang Wudi became even more resolute in his decision after learning of the Spirit Hall's inheritance techniques. He hadn't expected to gain so much immediately after joining.

"Everyone, the attack on the Clear Sky Clan is urgent. We must not delay. Sending them to meet the Death God is our duty!"

Every time he heard this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but worry about the Spirit Hall's future. Their mantra—"Sending you to meet my Lord is both my duty and your honor"—sounded like a recipe for a twisted organization.

They were living believers of the Death God, revering their deity but adamant about avoiding an audience with the god themselves. The contradiction was palpable.

"We'll return to gather our clansmen immediately and prepare to attack the Clear Sky Clan!"

Hearing this, Dai Mubai shook his head. With or without these additional forces, it made little difference. He merely needed a justified pretext to act against the Clear Sky Clan.

After all, some elders of the Clear Sky Clan, especially Elder Lieyang, had shown him respect before—Lieyang was particularly disdainful of Tang Hao.

But interests had diverged.

With Tang Hao killed, the feud was unresolvable.

"No need to make such preparations. First, issue a declaration of extermination in the name of the Spirit Hall and the Four Clans. It's a life-or-death battle!"

"The Clear Sky Clan prides itself on being the number one sect in the world. They'll undoubtedly look down on us and treat this as a joke, waiting for us to attack."

Dai Mubai emphasized the importance of justification. Writing a formal challenge letter outlining the reasons for their actions and their determination to wipe out the Clear Sky Clan ensured their actions were above reproach.

"Our battle is one of justice, to remove the Clear Sky Clan as a cancer on the Spirit Master world!"

Hearing these words, Titan, Bai He, Niu Gao, and Yang Wudi twitched.

We're followers of the Death God, yet we're doing this for justice?

But the more they thought about it, the more the phrase "for justice" resonated.

"The Clear Sky Clan abandoned us and betrayed the Four Great Clans. This is an act of justice!"

"Exactly!"

"To cleanse the Spirit Master world of its cancer and bring about a brighter future—this is the Spirit Hall's righteous duty! We'll sacrifice ourselves if necessary!"

Dai Mubai was stunned. These old guys were learning fast!

Seeing his satisfied nod, Titan and the others exchanged subtle smiles. They weren't fools—reaching their level required both strength and cunning.

Dai Mubai's words had illuminated the importance of reputation and charted a path for the Spirit Hall's future.

By branding their mission as a campaign against corruption and evil in the Spirit Master world, they would ensure the Spirit Hall's legacy aligned with its name.

"As for mobilizing your clans, it's unnecessary. Your clansmen are the Spirit Hall's future pillars and cannot be put at risk."

Before Dai Mubai could finish, the clan leaders, touched yet resolute, shook their heads.

"Leader, that would be unwise!"

"The followers must be tempered by fire and blood to truly understand the meaning of justice and better cleanse the Spirit Master world of its cancers!"

The truth was, they needed contribution points. Without battles, earning those points was nearly impossible.

Even if the leaders agreed to hold back their clans, their clansmen would refuse.

While the Clear Sky Clan was the top sect, its abandonment of the Four Great Clans had weakened it. Their total spirit master count barely reached a few hundred, and their true threat lay in their high-end combatants, not their foot soldiers.

Taking down the Clear Sky Clan's elite? Dai Mubai could handle that alone.

Tang Xiao and the Titled Douluo elders were nothing compared to Tang Hao.

The Clear Sky Clan's famed techniques, Ring Detonation and the Great Sumeru Hammer, were only passed down to each generation's Clear Sky Douluo. Other members could only learn the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, putting their combat level worlds apart.

Tang Hao's infamous power came from detonating all nine spirit rings and unleashing the Great Sumeru Hammer, granting him godlike strength for a brief moment. That was why Tang San could later challenge Qian Renxue, who had already ascended to godhood.

The combination of Ring Detonation and the Great Sumeru Hammer wasn't just a secret—it was akin to a divine skill.

Even a prodigy like Tang Chen couldn't become the Asura God, showing just how selective such powers were.

"Fine. Your clans can stay on the perimeter and prevent Clear Sky Clan members from escaping."

"Understood!"

Days later, a shocking announcement spread across the Douluo Continent:

A sect had dared to challenge the Clear Sky Clan to a life-or-death battle!

In the name of justice, they had listed the sins of the Clear Sky Clan, declaring their intent to cleanse the Spirit Master world of its corruption.

The continent was stunned.

Some mocked the Spirit Hall and the Four Great Clans for overestimating themselves, while others were inspired by their boldness.

In the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong twitched at the news. She was just as bewildered.

She had been preparing to preemptively strike against the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. But before she could act, a fledgling sect had boldly declared war on the Clear Sky Clan under the banner of justice!

What kind of absurd turn of events is this?!

Most ridiculous of all, the leader of this Spirit Hall was none other than her son-in-law, Dai Mubai!

As much as she despised Dai Mubai and wanted to kill him, there was little she could do.

Qian Renxue had already chosen him, and even Qian Daoliu endorsed him. Bibi Dong felt utterly helpless.

"Why would Dai Mubai attack the Clear Sky Clan?" Ning Fengzhi wondered aloud as he read the intelligence reports.

"Fengzhi, could this be the will of the gods?" Chen Xin suggested gravely. The idea of Dai Mubai targeting the continent's top sect seemed inexplicable—unless driven by divine orders.

The Death God, after all, naturally sought to harvest the strong.

"Then, could Dai Mubai one day turn against the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?" Gu Rong asked cautiously.

"Impossible!" Ning Fengzhi dismissed the notion. "Rongrong is betrothed to Dai Mubai, and he even presented us with unparalleled gifts as part of the dowry. He values relationships and would never act against our sect!"

"True. If the Death God demanded such a thing, it would only alienate its chosen inheritor."

"We must aid the Spirit Hall…"
