Therefore, I just want to know about the current state of my family before I die! If you can tell me the truth, you will earn the friendship of the Clear Sky Sect! Since you know of me, Tang Chen, you must also know of the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect on the continent!"
Hearing Tang Chen’s words, Xiao Yu spoke slowly.
"Senior Tang Chen, this isn’t the place to talk. How about we leave the City of Slaughter first?"
"Alright, no problem."
With that, Tang Chen followed Bibi Dong and Xiao Yu as they flew out of the City of Slaughter.
Looking at the young couple holding hands before him, Tang Chen, who had gradually let go of his ambitions for the Clear Sky Sect, couldn’t help but show an appreciative gaze.
From an outsider’s perspective, they were a perfect pair, a golden boy and jade girl. He just wondered which force they belonged to.
Judging by their martial souls, they didn’t seem to be from the Seven Great Sects or the royal family. Could they be from a new force that had emerged during his decades of absence?
Soon, the three of them left the City of Slaughter and arrived at a forest about twenty miles away.
They found some rocks to sit on, and Tang Chen spoke first.
"This old man is Tang Chen, the former sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, the former Clear Sky Douluo, and the former strongest on land! May I ask where you two young ones are from? How is my Clear Sky Sect doing now?"
"My name is Xiao Yu, from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. This is Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall!"
Hearing this, Tang Chen’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
However, in his heart, he sighed with emotion.
"Ah, so they’re from that little mud dragon’s family and Qian Daoliu’s Spirit Hall. What a pity... But wasn’t the Spirit Hall’s Pope Qian Xunji? How did that old fool Qian Daoliu allow an outsider to become Pope?"
Tang Chen didn’t delve deeper into Xiao Yu and Bibi Dong’s identities. Instead, he got straight to the point.
"So, young Xiao Yu, you’re from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. Do you know how my Clear Sky Sect is doing now? How is my grandson, Tang Hao, faring?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yu fell silent for a moment before speaking seriously.
"Senior Tang Chen, do you really want to know?"
Seeing the look in Xiao Yu’s eyes, Tang Chen was momentarily stunned. He immediately sensed that something might be wrong with the Clear Sky Sect, so he nodded.
"Senior Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect has now sealed itself off from the world. Fourteen years ago, Tang Hao severely injured the former Pope, Qian Xunji, leading to his death. To protect the sect, the Clear Sky Sect abandoned the Four Single Attribute Clans, expelled Tang Hao, and severed all ties with him. They then retreated to their ancestral lands and completely sealed themselves off!
As for the Spirit Hall, Senior Qian Daoliu, due to his agreement with you, did not directly destroy the Clear Sky Sect, nor did he allow anyone from the Spirit Hall to trouble them."
Hearing this, Tang Chen’s previously smiling expression changed drastically.
He ignored most of the details in Xiao Yu’s long explanation.
Tang Chen only focused on two things: the Clear Sky Sect had sealed itself off, and Tang Hao had been expelled.
Instantly, Tang Chen’s aura surged.
In a hoarse voice, he asked, "Can you tell me what exactly happened?"
Half an hour later, Xiao Yu explained everything to Tang Chen.
After hearing the full story, Tang Chen’s entire body trembled slightly.
His aged but sharp eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger, tinged with a bloody red.
In his heart, he roared with pain.
"Wei’er, Wei’er, how could you be so foolish!! Why did you expel Hao’er? Why were you so afraid of the Spirit Hall? Why did you reject the other sects’ offers of cooperation?!
All you had to do was bring Hao’er back to the Clear Sky Sect and then join forces with the other sects to pressure the Spirit Hall. With Qian Daoliu’s rigid mindset, he would never dare to set foot on our mountain!!
And Hao’er, you were so foolish too! Knowing your wife was a 100,000-year spirit beast, why did you wander around with her? Why not just return to the sect? With the sect’s protection, who in the Spirit Hall would dare to attack us?!"
Because there were outsiders present, Tang Chen couldn’t voice his anger. He could only roar internally, his face filled with unwillingness and rage.
Seeing Tang Chen’s stifled frustration, Bibi Dong felt uneasy.
She was worried that Tang Chen might suddenly lash out at them.
But Xiao Yu remained calm. After some thought, he sent a mental message to Bibi Dong.
"Dong’er, what do you think of Tang Chen?"
"What do you mean? What about him? I’m not familiar with him."
Bibi Dong asked, confused.
"I’m talking about what you mentioned to me earlier!"
Soon, the clever Bibi Dong understood. She resisted the urge to turn her head and nodded subtly, then sent another mental message.
"We can try... but with his strength... should we call Qian Daoliu over to be safe?"
"No need. If Qian Daoliu comes, given his personality, he wouldn’t agree to our plan!"
"Then what should we do..."
"Let’s wait and see how Tang Chen chooses. If he doesn’t attack us, I’ll find a reason to strike first!"
"What do you mean? Do you think Tang Chen will attack us?"
Bibi Dong asked, surprised.
"Of course. Tang Chen’s reputation in the past wasn’t great. His title of ’Strongest on Land’ was earned through bloodshed. With our strength and talent, he would definitely try to kill us for the sake of the Clear Sky Sect. Now that he’s heard about the sect’s current state, the likelihood of him attacking is even higher, especially since you’re the current Pope of the Spirit Hall!"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong gave Xiao Yu a flirtatious glare.
"Alright, in that case, let’s wait... I have the Rakshasa Scythe, which is enough to counter his Asura God’s Sword. We just need to watch out for his Ring Explosion."
After a long silence, Tang Chen finally spoke, his tone gentle.
"Young ones, thank you for answering my questions. This old man is old, and the future belongs to you young people. Although I am heartbroken by the Clear Sky Sect’s current state, there is nothing I can do. Find the newest release on Nove1Fire.net
After all, at my age, there’s little I can accomplish. In the final years of my life, I plan to return to the sect and live out my days in peace. May I ask one last small favor of you two?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yu and Bibi Dong exchanged glances. Then, Xiao Yu asked, "Senior, what do you need from us?"
Tang Chen looked at the two calm faces before him, his lips twitching slightly. Then, in an extremely gentle tone, he said, "I would like to ask you two young geniuses... to die."
