The Clear Sky Sect's troubles
For the next period of time, Tang San stayed at the Shrek Academy with Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.
Tang Yuehua sponsored Tang San with 100,000 Gold Soul Coin, so they no longer had to worry about making a living.
Yu Xiaogang studies Soul Master theory every day, trying to find a faster way to break through Soul Power Level.
Tang San, however, channeled his grief and anger into motivation, spending all his time cultivating.
Meanwhile, within the Clear Sky Sect...
Tang Yuehua frequently corresponded with Tang Xiao, so the letters the former sent back did not attract any attention within the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao didn't pay any attention at first.
After all, it hadn't been long since he last visited Moonlight Pavilion, so it was unlikely that Moonlight Pavilion would encounter any major trouble in such a short time.
Besides, he can't get away from his current situation.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to finish his current tasks before checking the other party's letter.
Tang Hao's death had a great impact on the Clear Sky Sect, and even triggered internal conflicts.
Tang Hao, after all, inherited the title "Haotian," and now that he has been killed by the Spirit Hall, some people feel that this is a blatant provocation by the Spirit Hall.
The Clear Sky Sect has a duty to seek justice for Tang Hao.
Those who hold this view are mostly the younger generation of sects. When Tang Hao committed the crime, these people were still young and did not understand right and wrong; they only knew that Tang Hao was a member of the Clear Sky Sect!
But to the elders of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao was the culprit who had plunged the sect into its predicament; how could they possibly seek justice for Tang Hao?
Tang Hao had already killed the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and now that the Spirit Hall had killed him, it could be considered that they had repaid Qian Xunji's life.
Therefore, there is no need for either side to be hostile towards each other. Instead, they should actively seek cooperation with the Spirit Hall to allow the Clear Sky Sect to return to the continent.
The elders within the sect occupy high positions, but the voices of the new generation of Soul Master cannot be ignored.
The elders will eventually pass away. If a policy of suppression is adopted, it is easy to arouse the rebellious mentality of the younger disciples.
Once these young disciples take power, the sect will turn to the right and become extremely violent.
The Main Hall.
The sect convened a general meeting regarding Tang Hao's matter.
Of course, those participating in this discussion included not only the Five Elders, but also many leading figures among the new generation of disciples.
The two sides had barely sat down when the hot-tempered Seventh Elder immediately stood up, "Do you youngsters even know how much disaster Tang Hao has brought to the sect?"
"Damn it, when the Spirit Hall invaded the Clear Sky Sect back then, the four original affiliated families suffered heavy losses and abandoned the Clear Sky Sect. The Sixth Elder was killed by the Spirit Hall while covering the retreat of the sect's disciples."
"The Sect Master at the time was even angered to death by Tang Hao. Wasn't that a lesson enough?"
"With the old Sect Master absent, and with all due respect, the Clear Sky Sect currently lacks the resources to contend with the Spirit Hall. To wage war against the Spirit Hall now would be tantamount to suicide."
Tang Long, a representative of the new generation of disciples, held a different view. "I don't know why the Seventh Elder thinks that seeking justice for Clear Sky Douluo requires declaring war on the Spirit Hall."
First of all, there are many ways to seek justice.
"Our Clear Sky Sect has been in seclusion for a long time, and the world has forgotten our existence. Speaking out for Clear Sky Douluo now is to declare to the world that our Clear Sky Sect has not perished, and is even stronger than before."
"We cannot deny the disasters that Clear Sky Douluo once brought to the sect, but this is not a reason for the Clear Sky Sect to back down to the Spirit Hall."
"Clear Sky Douluo possesses a sect's inherited Soul Bone. Now that the feud with the Spirit Hall has been settled, shouldn't we at least get the Soul Bone back?"
The new generation of disciples doesn't understand those considerations of self-interest, nor can they see the situation clearly.
Their core demand has always been for the sects to return to the mainland, so that they can travel freely on the mainland instead of being confined to their sects year after year.
Using Tang Hao's case to exert pressure is merely a means to achieve one's goal.
The Seventh Elder was furious and was about to curse when the Second Elder stopped him, saying, "Old Seven, your mind is in turmoil. Think things through before you speak."
As he spoke, he looked at Tang Long with a kind smile, "Tang Long's request is also the demand of the sect's many young disciples."
"But have you ever considered that the Spirit Hall might actually be that kind-hearted?"
Tang Xiao has not yet commented on this matter.
As the Sect Master, Tang Xiao's power was constrained by the Five Elders. However, in this matter, no matter which choice Tang Xiao made, he would receive the support of half the people.
Therefore, Tang Xiao will play a decisive role in determining the nature of this matter.
The Seventh Elder's behavior just now was clearly excessive. If this causes Tang Xiao to change his mind, it will not be a good thing for the sect.
It should be noted that after more than a decade of peaceful development, the Clear Sky Sect has grown from having only one Titled Douluo, Tang Xiao, to having six Titled Douluo today.
Tang Xiao has now reached the level of Super Douluo at level ninety-six.
Having enjoyed the benefits of peace, the Five Elders naturally did not want to come under the watchful eye of the Spirit Hall too early.
The Second Elder continued, "I am aware of your request. But please consider this: how does the Clear Sky Sect compare in strength now to the Clear Sky Sect before its seclusion?"
After Tang Chen left the sect, the only Titled Douluo in the entire Clear Sky Sect was the then Sect Master Tang Wei (Tang Xiao's father). Apart from that, there were no other titled experts in the sect.
During the years of seclusion, although the First Elder passed away in sorrow, the remaining Five Elders focused wholeheartedly on cultivation and are now Titled Douluo.
Such a significant increase in strength is unprecedented.
It could even be said that the sect has never been this powerful since Tang Chen left.
Tang Long was speechless for a moment. He was still lacking in experience when facing the shrewd and calculating Second Elder.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the Second Elder made the final decision, "It's not that the sect will remain hidden, but rather that we need to wait a little longer."
"Tang Long, when will you all grow into powerful individuals capable of standing on your own? I believe that will be the day the Clear Sky Sect returns to the continent."
"As for Tang Hao's debts, we will collect them from the Spirit Hall one by one!"
Then he looked at Tang Xiao and asked, "Sect Master, what is your opinion?"
Tang Long and the others had nothing to say, and Tang Xiao naturally couldn't side with the former.
Furthermore, he is very rational and knows that the Spirit Hall's power is unshakeable, so he would not easily turn against it.
"Since no one has any objections, then let's do as the Second Elder says."
After a pause, Tang Xiao added, "Tang Long, I know you all really want to travel the continent. How about this: from now on, every two months, the sect will arrange for a small team to go on a journey."
"I will discuss the specific details with the Five Elders and then decide. You may all go and inform everyone."
Being ignorant of the world is ultimately not a good thing. If what the Second Elder said is true, even if the Clear Sky Sect returns to the mainland, it will be out of touch with the times.
Sending a small team out to broaden their horizons is not a bad thing.
Moreover, this move can be seen as giving the new generation of Soul Master in the sect a taste of success.
