Clear Sky Sect Reopens, Gu Yuena's Wild Speculation

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tang Xiao slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, before he announced in a deep voice:

"I have decided that the Clear Sky Sect will reopen its gates immediately, but all disciples must obey orders and are not allowed to leave the mountain without permission."

"Third Elder, Fourth Elder."

"Please give your orders, Sect Master." The two elders who were called out stepped forward, clasped their hands in greeting, and accepted the command.

"From now on, the two of you will be responsible for Tang San's personal protection and safety, ensuring that he is not disturbed by outside forces during his assessment."

"Yes, Sect Master!" the two replied in unison.

Tang Xiao turned his gaze to the white-haired Second Elder: "Second Elder, I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip in person."

"First, we will go to the Star Luo Empire to try to make contact with the Dai Clan."

"Secondly, I visited the Four Single-Attribute Clans and explained the advantages and disadvantages to them."

"We should do our best to persuade them to join forces with the Clear Sky Sect to fight against the Spirit Hall."

He paused slightly, his tone tinged with apology:

"Remember, when dealing with Four Single-Attribute Clans, only mention equal cooperation; do not bring up the matter of subordination."

"Back then... it was the sect that wronged them. We only hope that they can consider the blood feud between everyone and the Spirit Hall and be willing to stand on our side again."

The Second Elder nodded solemnly, but deep down he didn't hold out much hope for the outcome of this trip.

Although the events of that year were forced by circumstances, the fact that the Clear Sky Sect abandoned the Four Single-Attribute Clans is undeniable.

The Spirit Hall came with overwhelming force, and they certainly wouldn't give up until they got their revenge. The four sect leaders with single attributes were essentially targets and punching bags left by the Clear Sky Sect...

With such heavy casualties, is there any room for maneuver?

Especially Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan, was already being lenient by not using the Soul Breaking Spear on him.

"Second Elder, there's no need for you to go to the Strength Clan." Tang Hao spoke at this moment, his voice low but firm. "I can manage the Tai Tan ' home."

"Although he most likely won't allow the Strength Clan to return to the Clear Sky Sect, he would certainly not refuse if it were just a matter of mobilizing the clan's strength to cooperate with the sect's actions."

The Second Elder nodded in agreement.

Tai Tan's loyalty and adoration for Tang Hao are well-known.

I would live for him, I would die for him, I would go through fire and water, and I wouldn't utter a single word of protest.

From this perspective, Tang Hao is doing better than those old guys.

"Dad, Tai Tan's grandson, Tailong, has been detained by the Spirit Hall," Tang San whispered a reminder from the side.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao shook his head and said with certainty:

"I know Tai Tan; he would never bow down and compromise like the Spirit Hall for the sake of his grandson's safety."

"However, before you head to the City of Slaughter Xiao San, you should personally visit the Strength Clan, explain the situation to Tai Tan in person, and offer him some words of comfort."

Why is Tai Tan so devoted to Tang Hao?

It was only because Tang Hao, as the direct descendant of the sect and a brilliant successor, was so unpretentious and devoted himself to the art of forging. He humbly sought guidance from Tai Tan for a long time, treating him with the respect due to a disciple.

This was simply because he greatly admired Tang Hao's domineering and arrogant nature when he was young.

This is because Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer abandons technique and follows the purest and most extreme path of force, which coincides with his pursuit of the path of Martial Soul.

These combined factors led Tai Tan to regard Tang Hao as his disciple, friend, and master.

This friendship, though weathered by time, has never faded.

But in Tang Hao's eyes, he was always just a follower, and his status in Yu Xiaogang's heart was not as high as that of Flender.

With this, Tang Hao and his son officially returned to their sect.

As a result, the Clear Sky Sect, which had been dormant for many years, entered a state of semi-emergence.

When Tang Xiao's decision spread throughout the sect, it brought joy to some and sorrow to others.

The radical faction within the sect, as well as those disciples whose elders had perished in the bloody battle against the Spirit Hall years ago, had waited far too long for this day. At this moment, they were all overjoyed and filled with excitement.

However, not all disciples of the Clear Sky Sect thought this way.

Similarly, many people have long been accustomed to the peaceful life of the past decade or so, living a life of quiet contemplation and cultivation, and are filled with resistance and unease about actively getting involved in the conflicts on the mainland.

However, amidst the powerful calls for "revenge" and "restoring prestige" from the mainstream sects, these voices yearning for stability sounded much weaker.

In this sect that reveres strength and courage, no one wants to be easily labeled as "cowardly and weak."

As for the matter of Tang Hao and his son returning to the sect, it was a decision made jointly by the sect leader and the five elders in charge.

Even if some people harbored resentment, they could only grumble quietly behind each other's backs; no one dared to openly question it.

The atmosphere at the distant Lake of Life was completely different from the solemn and austere atmosphere of the Clear Sky Sect.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Lin Hai and Gu Yuena seemed to have returned to the hazy and beautiful ambiguous state they had been in years ago.

The difference is that Gu Yuena's injuries have now fully healed, and Lin Hai has lost the opportunity to use the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" at close range.

A new way to express ambiguity is... two people strolling side by side along the lake, holding hands tightly, feeling the warmth of each other's palms.
