The Clear Sky Order! Tang Yuehua, Chief Elder of the Sect!
"... Senior Tang, please wait!"
Upon hearing Zhou Chen's clear shout, the blood-red streak that had been flying at high speed suddenly stopped, revealing a tall man with black hair and black eyes, wearing a blood-red stand-up collar cloak. It was Tang Chen.
"Do you know me? Who are you?"
A deep sense of doubt flashed in Tang Chen's eyes.
The handsome young man standing atop the Five-Colored Clouds actually addressed him as Senior Tang, clearly recognizing him.
But he had been the Slaughter King for decades and had only just awakened. Apart from old fogies like Golden Crocodile Douluo, it was impossible for anyone to still recognize him.
Besides, this handsome young man's bone age is only about fifteen years old. When I was trapped in the City of Slaughter, the young man's father probably hadn't even been born yet!
"Junior Zhou Chen greets Senior Tang."
Zhou Chen cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Tang Chen, a smile on his face, and spoke in a respectful tone.
Given Zhou Chen's status and strength, he wouldn't need to give face to anyone, even if that person was Tang Chen, Level 99 Peak Demigod.
However, Tang Yuehua was already his woman, and Tang Chen was Tang Yuehua's grandfather. So, theoretically, Tang Chen was his grandfather-in-law, a proper elder.
Zhou Chen, who always respected the elderly and cared for the young, was very respectful to his elders. That's why he gave Tang Chen so much face.
"Zhou Chen?"
Tang Chen's gaze swept over Zhou Chen, as well as the two women beside him, Yu Tianmeng and Tang Yuehua, his eyes filled with even more confusion.
The handsome young man in front of them was around level 70, and the girl to his left was even more ridiculously strong, not at all like two young people under twenty.
Are all young people these days this capable?
The only one who was weak was a beautiful woman in a silver palace dress to Zhou Chen's right.
This beautiful woman's Soul Power didn't seem to be level 10 yet, but her gentle face and long blue hair made Tang Chen feel extremely familiar and close, as if he had seen her before.
Seeing Tang Chen staring intently at Tang Yuehua, Zhou Chen's lips curled into a smile.
When Tang Chen left the Clear Sky Sect for the City of Slaughter, Tang Yuehua was still very young, only a few years old. She hadn't even activated her Martial Soul yet and couldn't remember anything.
Tang Chen had never seen Tang Yuehua as an adult. In fact, because he was obsessed with cultivation and seeking Godhood Inheritance back then, he had only seen Tang Yuehua as a child two or three times.
Therefore, he only felt that Tang Yuehua was familiar, but did not recognize his granddaughter.
As for Zhou Chen, who knew the situation, he didn't tell Tang Yuehua about her grandfather, Tang Chen, beforehand. Before coming, Zhou Chen wasn't sure if he would encounter Tang Chen, and it would be very awkward if he didn't.
However, although the grandparents and grandchildren were unaware of each other's situation, the bond of blood could not be broken.
Just like now, Tang Chen kept staring at Tang Yuehua, his eyes clearly showing a hint of affection.
Sure enough, his bringing Tang Yuehua to see Tang Chen was a stroke of genius, the perfect finishing touch.
"As expected of me," Zhou Chen thought narcissistically.
"Husband, who... is this person?"
Tang Yuehua frowned slightly, turned to look at Zhou Chen, and whispered intimately into his ear.
She felt extremely uncomfortable under Tang Chen's gaze, and involuntarily pressed herself against Zhou Chen, her ample breasts wrapping around his arm, making him feel exceptionally comfortable.
"You guess?"
Zhou Chen tilted his head and said with a smile.
Tang Yuehua glared at Zhou Chen, snorted, and turned her head away. "You think I'll just guess because you tell me to? Wouldn't that make me lose face?"
Seeing this amusing scene, Yu Tianmeng chuckled to herself, then used her Soul Power to condense her voice into a line and sent a telepathic message to Tang Yuehua: "Sister Yuehua, didn't Zhou Chen just mention that this person's surname is Tang?"
Upon hearing this, the quick-witted Tang Yuehua immediately understood that the young man in front of her, wearing a blood-red stand-up collar cloak, must be a member of their Clear Sky Sect.
Yes, Tang Chen looks to be only around thirty years old; he certainly looks like a young man.
This is the power of a level 99 Peak Douluo. They can reverse aging and greatly increase their lifespan, theoretically living to nearly three hundred years old. It's normal for them to have the face of a young person.
But it was precisely Tang Chen's face that bewitched Tang Yuehua.
She felt that the person in front of her could not possibly be over fifty years old and must be a second-generation disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. So she racked her brains within this range, but still could not figure out the identity of this blood-stained youth.
Seeing that neither Tang Yuehua nor Tang Chen could guess the other's identity, Zhou Chen stopped being mysterious. He reached out and put his arm around Tang Yuehua's slender waist, looked directly at Tang Chen, and said in a calm tone, "Senior Tang, she is also from the Clear Sky Sect, your granddaughter Tang Yuehua."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen and Tang Yuehua were both stunned, the grandmother and granddaughter staring at each other in bewilderment.
"He... he's my grandfather?"
Tang Yuehua said incredulously. Her grandfather had been missing for decades, how could he suddenly reappear by such a coincidence? And he even looked like a young man?
However, if this blood-stained young man really is her grandfather Tang Chen, then it would explain why Zhou Chen brought her here.
Tang Chen believed him to some extent, but still had some doubts. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "My granddaughter? What proof do you have?"
"This..."
Zhou Chen paused, his tone faltering. Logically speaking, in this world of Martial Soul that relies on bloodline inheritance, as long as Tang Yuehua revealed the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Hammer, the inherited Martial Soul of the Clear Sky Sect, it would be enough to gain Tang Chen's trust.
The problem is that Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul is a Mutated Martial Soul with its own Noble Ring domain, which has nothing to do with the Clear Sky Hammer.
Therefore, revealing Martial Soul to verify identity is not a viable option.
However, to Zhou Chen's surprise, Tang Yuehua suddenly reached into her clothes and took out a necklace with a jade pendant attached to the bottom.
The jade pendant is carved with a beautiful woman holding a scepter, surrounded by surging waves.
"Do you recognize this jade pendant? I heard from my elder brother that the woman on this pendant is your beloved, known as the Sea God Douluo."
Tang Yuehua picked up the jade pendant and said softly.
Tang Chen's gaze froze.
He looked at the jade pendant in Tang Yuehua's hand, and the crimson aura surrounding his body fluctuated violently. His expression was extremely complicated.
This jade pendant was carved by him personally. The image carved on the pendant is that of Poseidon, the High Priest of Seagod Island, a level 99 peerless Douluo.
Tang Chen carved the jade pendant to commemorate Bo Saixi. He carved three pendants in total, all of which he gave to his son, instructing him to distribute them among his grandchildren.
Therefore, the beautiful woman in palace attire before him was indeed his granddaughter, Tang Yuehua.
"Yue... Moonlight, good child, you've grown so much. Good, you're very good. Grandfather is sorry for you."
Tears welled up uncontrollably in Tang Chen's dark eyes.
As he spoke, crimson light surged in his hand, and a massive crimson hammer covered entirely in dark gold demonic runes appeared in Tang Chen's grasp.
Although the shape of this hammer is vastly different from that of the ordinary Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect, its undeniable domineering aura is undeniable. This is indeed the Clear Sky Hammer, and it is the Clear Sky Hammer that has evolved to its peak form, also known as the Great Sumeru Hammer!
Upon seeing the Great Sumeru Hammer, Tang Yuehua didn't hesitate any longer. She knelt down, choking back tears with emotion, and said, "Grandpa."
"Get up, get up quickly, let Grandpa take a good look at you."
Tang Chen stepped forward and helped Tang Yuehua up, his heart filled with sorrow.
"Waaaaah, Grandpa, where have you been all these years? You have to stand up for my second brother!"
Tang Yuehua threw herself into Tang Chen's arms and began to sob.
"Your second brother, Hao'er?"
Tang Chen asked in surprise, "Don't cry, what happened to Hao'er? With his talent, shouldn't he be the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect by now? What exactly happened?"
"Waaaaah, Grandpa, it's the Spirit Hall..."
While crying, Tang Yuehua recounted in detail the situation of the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Hao over the years.
He recounted everything without missing Clear Sky Sect, from the love between his second Tang Hao and the Soul Beast, the domineering and coercive nature of the Spirit Hall, the Soul Beast sister-in-law's self-sacrifice, his father's death from anger, the cowardice of the sect elders who led the Clear Sky Sect into seclusion, Tang Hao's siege and death by a mysterious force, and the killing of the Seventh Elder Blazing Sun Douluo, by the Holy Spirit Church.
Tang Yuehua explained it in such detail because she had high hopes for Tang Chen.
She knew that her grandfather was Level 99 Peerless Douluo, with unparalleled strength, even stronger than Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, and possibly the number one Soul Master in the world today!
If Grandpa is willing to avenge Second Tang Hao, even the Spirit Hall will tremble!
Sure enough, upon hearing Tang Yuehua's words, Tang Chen's expression grew increasingly grim.
Every change in his expression made the air seem to freeze and shatter, producing a resounding clang!
"Hao'er has fallen to such a state; the sect has failed him!"
Tang Chen's expression was extremely painful, and two lines of bloody tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. Under his skin, blood vessels caused by anger kept flashing!
"Good, good Spirit Hall, good Qian Daoliu, good Holy Spirit Church! Your father and those elders are all cowards and fools. Do they think they can get away with just forbearance? Taking a step back today, taking two steps back tomorrow, sooner or later they'll have nowhere left to retreat and can only wait to be slaughtered. Don't they understand this principle?!"
Hearing Tang Chen's heartbroken words, Tang Yuehua quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Grandpa, now that you're back, our Clear Sky Sect can reappear in the Soul Master World. We must avenge my second brother and wipe out the Spirit Hall and the Holy Spirit Church!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen stared blankly at Tang Yuehua, speechless for a long time.
After a long silence, Tang Chen's expression gradually dimmed, his eyes revealing apology and resentment. He sighed deeply, closed his eyes in anguish, and shook his head, saying, "Moonlight, Grandpa can no longer assist the Clear Sky Sect in its endeavors."
"Why?"
Tang Yuehua looked at Tang Chen in confusion, then asked excitedly, "Grandpa, the Spirit Hall has gone too far! We absolutely cannot let them get away with this!"
"Moonlight, it's not that Grandpa doesn't want to help you, it's just that Grandpa's health isn't good enough."
Tang Chen said in a low voice, "Grandpa was ambushed by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King and has been trapped in the City of Slaughter decades. His body has long been eroded by the Rakshasa God's divine power, and he only has a few days left to live."
"What?"
Tang Yuehua felt as if struck by lightning; her hope instantly turned into despair, and she even felt immense sorrow because her grandfather's days were numbered.
Seeing his granddaughter's face streaked with tears, Tang Chen gave a wry smile, patted her little head, and comforted her, "All mortals must die. Although Grandpa is a demigod, he is still a mortal. Don't be sad, cheer up. Hao'er's revenge will have to be avenged by your generation!"
"That's right."
Zhou Chen, who was standing to the side, looked at Tang Chen at the right moment and said righteously, "Senior Tang, Moonlight is my woman, I will definitely help her."
"You're very kind, young friend."
Tang Chen nodded, responding with goodwill.
He couldn't see through Zhou Chen and didn't intend to ask him any questions. However, Tang Chen had a particularly strong sixth sense and was quite intelligent, so he could sense that there must be a fairly powerful force behind Zhou Chen, otherwise it would be impossible to cultivate such a young powerhouse.
Perhaps in the future, the Clear Sky Sect will still need to rely on Zhou Chen.
The key to contacting Zhou Chen lies with his granddaughter, Tang Yuehua.
Although his granddaughter doesn't have much strength, she is quite intelligent and decisive, making her very suitable to guide the future of the Clear Sky Sect.
Thinking this way, Tang Chen felt that he should give his granddaughter some confidence to manage the sect and increase her voice, so that the sect would not be dragged down by those cowards.
Tang Chen then reached into his robes and pulled out a small golden hammer, each end of which was inlaid with a black gemstone, making it look extremely exquisite.
"Moonlight, this Clear Sky Order is for you. It's the token of our Clear Sky Sect's Chief Elder. With it, you can command everyone in the Clear Sky Sect, including all the elders in the Elder Hall!"
After a pause, Tang Chen continued solemnly, "You also have the right to depose the sect leader and decide on major sect affairs. If anyone disobeys, you should join forces with your elder brother and kill them without exception!"
Immediately afterward, Tang Chen tossed the small golden hammer to Tang Yuehua. He then said, "Grandpa doesn't have many days left to live. Before I die, Grandpa wants to go to Sea God Island to see Bo Saixi. I won't be able to accompany you."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Chen's figure leaped into the air, instantly transforming into a blood-red meteor and disappearing from the three people's sight.
Tang Yuehua stared blankly in the direction Tang Chen had disappeared, completely bewildered. How could her grandfather do this! He just dropped a hammer and ran off, completely disregarding whether she could take control of the situation after returning to the sect!
Could it be that Bo Saixi's importance to him surpasses that of his juniors and sect?
Thinking of this, Tang Yuehua gave a wry smile and handed the small golden hammer in her hand to Zhou Chen.
"This is your idea, isn't it, my husband? By using the Clear Sky Order and my grandfather's instructions, you can legitimately win over the Clear Sky Sect and have them serve your Purple Micro Palace through me."
Tang Yuehua stared directly at Zhou Chen and said irritably.
She wasn't stupid; even if she didn't understand Zhou Chen's purpose at first, she understood it now.
Hearing this, Zhou Chen smiled sheepishly, put his arm around Tang Yuehua's slender waist, and said softly, "Don't be angry, Moonlight. I was just trying. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. I will do my best to help you take control of the Clear Sky Sect."
