Clear Sky Sect's Backer

Clear Sky Sect's Backer

Inside the Worship Hall, the five great guardians led by Qian Daoliu prostrated themselves on the ground. The moment Qian Daoliu received the Divine Decree, his face was filled with disbelief.

Since when did I have a granddaughter? he wondered.

Even after holy radiance flooded Angel Space and Qian Renxue slowly emerged from the light, Qian Daoliu still wore an incredulous expression.

Returning to the familiar Spirit Hall Sacred Hall and looking at the five familiar grandfathers before her, memories of twenty thousand years seemed to overlap with reality. Complex emotions surged within Qian Renxue, and tears slid down her cheeks. At last, she walked up to Qian Daoliu and hugged him tightly. Countless words became a single utterance: "Grandfather."

Though Qian Daoliu was full of doubts, since the Angel God said she was his granddaughter, and he could sense a faint bloodline connection from her, then she was his granddaughter. He could feel her grievance and longing, so he held this descendant connected to him by blood tightly.

Only after a long while did grandfather and granddaughter finally separate.

"I know you have many questions, Grandfather, but please allow me to explain them one by one." Qian Renxue wiped away her tears and spoke.

A moment later—

"Xue'er, you said you are Ji'er and Bibi Dong's daughter. You also said that you ultimately became the Angel God, while Bibi Dong became the Rakshasa God, yet in the end, you still failed. Bibi Dong died beneath Tang San's Shura God Sword, your Divine Core shattered and you fell from your Divine Throne, and Spirit Hall was destroyed as well?" Qian Daoliu asked in shock.

Qian Renxue said nothing more and merely nodded.

Within the Worship Hall, the five great guardians took a long time to digest this information.

Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had remained at Rank 98 for years, said, "Hmph, Big Brother, if that is the case, then let us destroy the Clear Sky Sect and wipe them out completely. As long as we kill Tang Hao, there will be no Tang San, right?"

Lion Guardian said, "And do not forget that Ten Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor. Kill her as well, seize her Soul Ring and soul bone, and nip Spirit Hall's threat in the bud."

"This..." Qian Daoliu still had his reservations upon hearing this.

Qingluan Guardian said, "Big Brother, you are not still concerned about Tang Chen, are you? Do not forget that when Tang Chen came to our Spirit Hall back then, he was chosen by an unfamiliar god and became an attendant of a Divine Trial. He had no hope of Becoming a God for the rest of his life. What is there to fear?"

Light Feather Guardian said, "Exactly, Big Brother. Let us attack the Clear Sky Sect. My Guang Ling Divine Bow has been itching for action for a long time."

"No." Qian Renxue shook her head. "The Clear Sky Sect has the Shura God behind it. That shameless Shura God had already been secretly supporting the Clear Sky Sect since Tang Chen's era. If we move against the Clear Sky Sect now, I fear the Shura God in the Divine Realm will not be able to sit still."

"Can gods interfere with the Lower Realm as they please?" Qian Daoliu frowned. As someone who often interacted with the Angel God, he knew somewhat of the Divine Realm's rules: gods could not easily interfere with the Lower Realm.

Qian Renxue said disdainfully, "The Shura God is one of the Six God Kings of the Divine Realm and controls the Divine Realm's core. He makes the rules. To him, rules are used when they are useful and discarded when they are not. He has interfered in the Lower Realm many times. For instance, the Great Sumeru Hammer was a divine skill the Shura God taught Tang Chen based on the Clear Sky Hammer's characteristics."

"This... Wasn't the Great Sumeru Hammer something Tang Chen comprehended himself?" Qian Daoliu's face twitched slightly.

Qian Renxue said, "Precisely because Tang Chen comprehended it himself, no one would criticize it. But how did Tang Chen come to comprehend it?"

"Wait, Xue'er, are you saying the Great Sumeru Hammer is a divine skill?"

"Grandfather, you lost to Tang Chen by half a move because of the Great Sumeru Hammer. Later, when my father was a Rank 95 Angel Douluo, Tang Hao, who had only just entered the Title Douluo rank, smashed him into grievous injury with the Great Sumeru Hammer. And afterward, Tang Hao, with Rank 97 strength, fought Golden Crocodile Grandfather, who had Rank 98 strength. What he relied on was also this incomparably tyrannical Great Sumeru Hammer. Then there was Tang San. In his non-god state, he used Ring Explosion to unleash the Great Sumeru Hammer and fought me when I had already become a god. Though I held back at the time, does that not prove how extraordinary this skill is?" Qian Renxue said.

Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile, whose names had been mentioned, looked at each other. After a long silence, Guang Ling Douluo suddenly broke it and said to Qian Daoliu, "Big Brother, you were tricked."

Qian Daoliu froze, then immediately understood. He said furiously, "Tang Chen, you actually plotted against me."

"What happened?" Mighty Lion Douluo failed to understand for a moment.

"Third Brother, do you remember? Before Tang Chen went searching for the path to Becoming a God, he arranged one final battle with our Big Brother. In that battle, Big Brother and Tang Chen agreed not to use soul skills. The two fought for three days and three nights, and in the end, Tang Chen narrowly defeated Big Brother by half a move with the Great Sumeru Hammer. Finally, they agreed that no Pope of Spirit Hall after Qian Daoliu would set foot in the Clear Sky Sect's ancestral grounds," Qingluan Guardian said.

"Good, very good." Qian Daoliu laughed in extreme anger. "You made me fight you without using divine skills, yet you used one yourself. Tang Chen, you truly have some nerve. In that case, I declare my agreement with Tang Chen void."

However, though the agreement had been declared void, the guardians all understood that they could not rashly attack the Clear Sky Sect when the Shura God stood behind it. Everything returned to the original problem.

"If the Clear Sky Sect has the Shura God of the Divine Realm behind it, then what should we do?" Mighty Lion asked unwillingly. "Are we supposed to sit and wait for death?"

"Do not be afraid, Grandfathers. In my past, Spirit Hall did not know who its enemy was. Behind us, the Angel Divine Ancestor was plotted against and killed by the shameless Sea God, while the Shura God shamelessly schemed against us. But this era is different. Behind us stands the Divine Ancestor, as well as a God King no weaker than the Five God Kings of the Divine Realm. His hatred for Tang San is no less than Spirit Hall's. This time, we are not without a chance of victory against Tang San and the others," Qian Renxue said confidently.

Immediately afterward, Qian Renxue informed the guardians of the Divine Realm's situation. Only then did they feel at ease.

"Grandfathers, Xue'er is telling you this because she trusts you. It is enough for us to know these matters. You must never spread them," Qian Renxue repeatedly warned.

The guardians were not loose-lipped people, and they all stated that they would not leak this secret.

Qian Daoliu asked, "What about Ji'er? He is your father, after all. Do you need me to go tell him?"

"No, absolutely not." Qian Renxue hurriedly stopped him. "Do not tell him anything about me. There are some things I want to verify. I want to see this era's father... and mother."

"Very well," Qian Daoliu said.
