"Moonlight... perhaps the best choice is to let the couple rest in peace and never mention them again!"
Tang Xiao's expression was filled with melancholy and helplessness, and he said in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that."
Tang Yuehua shook her head, her chest heaving as if something was stuck in her throat, and her eyes reddened as she said, "I will never forget the deaths of my second brother and sister-in-law A Yin."
"Why..."
Tang Xiao sighed, a change in his gaze as he looked at Tang Yuehua. He said, "Very well, Moonlight, since you insist, I will convene a sect council meeting tomorrow with the participation of all clan members. Whether you want to seek justice for Tang Hao or do something else, it's all fine with me. What do you say?"
"Good."
Tang Yuehua wiped away her tears, nodded, and said, "Big brother, thank you..."
Tang Xiao waved his hand at her and sighed, "Don't thank me. What happens tomorrow is up to you, not me. It's getting late, you and Zhou Chen should go and rest. Palace Master Zhou, take good care of Moonlight."
"Brother, you don't need to be so polite."
Zhou Chen smiled and said. Tang Yuehua was his own wife, of course he would take good care of her.
After leaving the Council Hall with Tang Yuehua, the two quickly arrived at the accommodations arranged for them by Tang Xiao, a magnificent and grand guest room.
Sitting on the bed, Zhou Chen stretched and then slowly said, "Have you made up your mind?"
"Um."
Tang Yuehua nodded, her voice soft yet firm, "I want to become the Chief Elder. I want to seek justice for my second brother. I also want to lead the Clear Sky Sect back into the world to fight against the Spirit Hall!"
Speaking of this, Tang Yuehua turned to look directly at Zhou Chen, saying expectantly, "Although I have the Clear Sky Order given to me by my grandfather, the Soul Master World has always valued strength above all else, and our Clear Sky Sect is no exception. Without absolute strength, I'm afraid they won't listen to me, especially those stubborn old fogies. So, I guess I'll need your help, husband."
"Rest assured."
Zhou Chen smiled slightly, reached out and patted Tang Yuehua's head gently, saying tenderly, "We are husband and wife, it's only natural for me to help you. Just you wait and see tomorrow, I'll definitely avenge you and beat those old bastards to a pulp!"
As he spoke, Zhou Chen reached out and pulled Tang Yuehua's soft, boneless body into his arms, causing her to fall onto him.
Tang Yuehua then nestled against Zhou Chen's chest, gazing down at his face with undisguised tenderness in her eyes.
It has to be said that although Zhou Chen is not very old, the sense of security he brings her is stronger than that of anyone else.
Lowering her head, Tang Yuehua gently kissed Zhou Chen's forehead, murmuring:
"Being with you? It's so good."
One night passed.
The next day? Early morning.
Zhou Chen and Tang Yuehua got up very early in the morning. They dressed neatly and, with the help of the maids kept by the sect, washed up and ate breakfast before leaving their room.
As soon as I stepped outside, a damp mist blew in my face, and everywhere was filled with pure white clouds. The clouds were so deep that I could not see where they went.
As they admired the rare and beautiful scenery, the two headed straight for the Council Hall of the Clear Sky Sect.
The atmosphere was completely different from when Zhou Chen arrived yesterday. This morning, at least two hundred people had gathered in the Council Hall, all of them direct disciples of the Clear Sky Sect. Sect Master Tang Xiao and several white-haired elders stood at the highest point of the hall.
These elderly men all appeared to be at least eighty years old. Their hair and beards were all white, but they were all in good spirits and had ruddy complexions.
At this moment, several elderly men were talking to Tang Xiao with serious expressions.
But when they saw Zhou Chen and Zhou Chen nestled beside Tang Yuehua, they all showed surprise and looked at each other in disbelief.
Not only them, but most of the Clear Sky Sect disciples present were dumbfounded when they saw Tang Yuehua and Zhou Chen appear together.
Seeing this strikingly handsome couple, most people found it hard to believe that Tang Yuehua, a spinster who had been single for decades, had actually found a man.
And it seems... he's younger than her?
In an instant, the phrase "old cow eating young grass" uncontrollably popped into the minds of the Clear Sky Sect members.
Seeing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, Zhou Chen immediately understood that his brother-in-law Tang Xiao, had ultimately chosen to stand on his sister's side.
It was quite obvious that Tang Xiao had not informed most of the disciples about Tang Yuehua's return to the sect with her husband; instead, he had the news kept secret.
"Moonlight, Zhou Chen, did you two sleep well last night?"
Tang Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed, and said in a teasing tone.
Upon hearing this, many young disciples from various sects burst into good-natured laughter, and the hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Tang Yuehua blushed instantly, burying her head in Zhou Chen's arms, not daring to lift it.
At this moment, an elder with white hair and beard and a robust build came directly in front of the two, looked Zhou Chen up and down a few times, and asked hesitantly, "Are you the Palace Master of Purple Micro Palace, Zhou Chen?"
Upon hearing this, most of the sect disciples realized that Sect Master Tang Xiao had just addressed this handsome uncle-in-law as Zhou Chen.
Within the two great empires of the Tiandou Empire and Star Luo Empire, there was a man of unparalleled strength, whose power was overwhelming and whose name was Zhou Chen!
Thinking of this, almost everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Zhou Chen, waiting for his answer.
"Third Elder, we met briefly two years ago. Don't you remember us so quickly?"
Zhou Chen looked at the robust old man in front of him and said with a half-smile.
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder's expression changed, and he said, "It really is you, Zhou Chen."
Two years ago, Tang Zhao, the third elder of the Haotian Sect and the Void-Breaking Douluo, and Tang Xuan, the seventh elder and the Blazing Sun Douluo, traveled to Tiandou City, intending to coerce Tang Yuehua into handing over Tang Hao's remains. However, Zhou Chen caught them red-handed.
Then, the hot-tempered Blazing Sun Douluo and Zhou Chen fought a great battle in the sky above Heaven Dou City, but they were both ambushed by the God of the Underworld Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church. Blazing Sun Douluo died on the spot, and Zhou Chen was seriously injured and fell into a coma for two years.
Therefore, the Third Elder and Zhou Chen were old acquaintances.
The disciples present, who were merely observing the situation, were in an uproar.
Aunt Moonlight's methods are truly remarkable. She doesn't make a move until she does, and then she becomes the wife of the Palace Master of the Purple Micro Palace. She is truly admirable!
Just then, an elderly man with a goatee standing next to Tang Xiao suddenly shouted, "Zhou Chen, you killed my seventh brother, and you still dare to show your face in my Clear Sky Sect? Get out!"
Following this provocative remark, the entire hall fell into complete silence.
Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes, and an invisible aura suddenly emanated from his body, causing the Clear Sky Sect disciples present to feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar!
The reputation and achievements of the Palace Master of Purple Micro Palace are not just empty words; they have been personally verified by the titled Douluo killed by Zhou Chen!
Angry the Palace Master of Purple Micro Palace is not a wise choice.
Tang Xiao clearly thought the same thing. He immediately looked at the old man with the goatee beside him and shouted, "Sixth Elder, you're too presumptuous! The Seventh Elder died at the hands of the Holy Spirit Church Sect, that's obvious to everyone. What does that have to do with Zhou Chen? You're old enough to not even think before you speak so rudely?"
"Sect Leader, why are you siding with outsiders?"
The Sixth Elder glared and roared angrily.
"You're talking nonsense! Zhou Chen is my husband, and more importantly, the son-in-law of my Clear Sky Sect. How can he be an outsider?"
Tang Yuehua's face flushed red, and she was so angry that she disregarded all etiquette and blurted out something unintentionally.
"Yes, Sixth Brother, you need to be careful what you say. There are so many juniors watching."
An elderly man with long eyebrows frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
He is the second elder of the Haotian Sect and the current chief elder of the sect. He is Tang Lin, the Wind and Cloud Douluo, and he is considered to be the most respected person in the Haotian Sect.
After being repeatedly reprimanded by his own family members, the Sixth Elder opened his mouth but was speechless, and could only slink back behind the Second Elder.
"Ahem, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we should discuss this further."
Tang Xiao coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention to him. Then, he looked at Tang Yuehua and said, "Moonlight, if you have anything to say, don't hold back."
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Tang Yuehua raised her head and looked at the Second Elder, saying calmly, "Second Elder, please step down from your position as Chief Elder."
"What?"
The Second Elder's long eyebrows twitched, and he froze, only reacting after a long while. He exclaimed in shock, "You want me to resign from my position Chief Elder?"
"Exactly."
Tang Yuehua said in a serious tone, "I also want to be the Chief Elder, and I'm confident that I can do it better than you."
"Hahaha, Moonlight, you're just a junior, and your Soul Power is only level 9. You want to be the Chief Elder? What makes you think you can?"
Behind the Second Elder, the Sixth Elder jumped out and burst into loud laughter. His unrestrained laughter carried a powerful Soul Power that seemed to make the entire Clear Sky Sect tremble.
Tang Yuehua said coldly, "Just because of this."
As she spoke, a flash of golden light appeared, and a small golden hammer inlaid with black crystal appeared in her palm!
"This... this is my uncle's Clear Sky Order?"
The Second Elder's voice trembled, and he felt a wave of dizziness.
As soon as he said this, the other elders and Tang Xiao also looked over subconsciously, and their pupils shrank immediately!
This small golden hammer is truly the Haotian Token, personally forged by the peerless Douluo Tang Chen, capable of commanding the entire Haotian Sect!
Tang Yuehua's voice rang out. "Second Elder, you are my uncle and my elder. How could I dare to offend you without my grandfather's order? This Clear Sky Order was bestowed by my grandfather. He is still alive and he is very dissatisfied with the current cowardly behavior of the Clear Sky Sect. He wants me to take over the Clear Sky Sect as the Chief Elder."
Upon hearing this, the elders exchanged glances and fell silent.
Logically speaking, upon seeing the Clear Sky Order for the first time, they should have knelt down and respectfully regarded Tang Yuehua as the Chief Elder of the Clear Sky Sect.
However, the Soul Master World has always respected the strong. How could Tang Yuehua, a woman with only a level 9 Soul Power, make the Second Elder step down and command the entire Clear Sky Sect?
They were not satisfied!
Not to mention them, even among the more than two hundred Clear Sky Sect disciples present, very few wanted to obey Tang Yuehua's orders!
A frail woman wants to be the Chief Elder? Are you kidding me?!
After a long silence, the Second Elder hesitated for a moment before politely declining, saying, "Moonlight, whether my uncle's Clear Sky Order is real or fake is another matter. Just with your strength, if you were to become the Chief Elder, and this were to spread, I'm afraid our Clear Sky Sect would lose all face."
"Heh, Clear Sky Sect, do you still have any shame?"
Tang Yuehua chuckled and uttered a shocking statement that froze the expressions of all the high-ranking members of the Clear Sky Sect, including Tang Xiao.
????"What did you say?"
The Second Elder was seething with anger, and the other elders also glared at Tang Yuehua.
Tang Yuehua remained calm and said indifferently, "I'm telling the truth. Do you know what the outside world thinks of our Clear Sky Sect? Let me tell you, the entire Soul Master World thinks our Clear Sky Sect is a coward, understand?"
"That's enough!"
Tang Xiao couldn't listen to this any longer and shouted angrily.
"Not enough."
Tang Yuehua stepped forward, straightened her breasts, and looked directly at the Second Elder, saying, "Please step down, don't force me to take action."
"Presumptuous!"
The Second Elder finally couldn't hold back any longer. A sharp aura suddenly erupted from him as he roared, "Tang Yuehua, what do you think this place is? What right do you have to speak to us like that? Sixth Elder, seize this disrespectful person!"
"Yes, Second Brother."
The Sixth Elder roared and appeared in front of Tang Yuehua in a flash, stretching out a hand and pressing it towards Tang Yuehua!
"Clang!"
Just then, a loud sword cry rang out, and the golden Xuanyuan Sword flashed out from between Zhou Chen's eyebrows, slashing directly toward the Sixth Elder's head!
How dare this Sixth Elder touch his woman? He's got a death wish!
"Zhou Chen, you..."
Seeing Zhou Chen launch a sneak attack without saying a word, the Sixth Elder was both shocked and furious. Amidst the surge of black light, the Clear Sky Hammer suddenly appeared. Without retreating or dodging, he used the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand with the momentum of Mount Tai pressing down, and smashed it straight towards the Xuanyuan Sword.
"Clang!"
The hammer and halberd clashed, and a deafening roar echoed throughout the hall. Exclamations arose one after another. Zhou Chen stood with his hands behind his back, the Xuanyuan Sword protecting him three feet in front of him, completely unharmed.
The Sixth Elder's body was thrown back into the air, tumbling violently several times before landing back beside the Second Elder and the others. When his feet touched the ground, the ground cracked, and he staggered back several steps before barely managing to stand firm, his arms trembling noticeably.
This scene silenced the entire hall!
The Palace Master of Purple Micro Palace is well-deserved!
"I'm very curious, who gave you the audacity to touch my woman?"
Zhou Chen looked at the elders of the Clear Sky Sect with some doubt, and said calmly, "Do you know what happens to anyone who dares to touch my woman?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present held their breath in tension.
"It seems you know."
Zhou Chen smiled slightly, looked at the elders of the Clear Sky Sect, raised his eyebrows and said, "Very well, considering that you are related to Moonlight, I will give you a chance. If all of you attack together and can withstand three moves from my sword, I will spare your lives."
As he spoke, Zhou Chen gripped the Xuanyuan Sword and casually swung it towards the outside of the hall, unleashing a massive golden Sword Light!
The next second, a huge roar resounded, and the entire Clear Sky Fortress trembled violently under his sword strike!
Just a kilometer away, an uninhabited mountain peak had been cleaved in two by the sword strike!
