A Titled Douluo Angered to Death

While Huo Yuhao slept in Spirit Hall, the situation across the continent underwent earth-shattering changes.

Tang Hao's "glorious deed" of assassinating the Pope of Spirit Hall over a Soul Beast had already reached the ears of every major power. The seemingly peaceful Douluo Continent was now undercurrents swirling beneath the surface...

Majestic Clear Sky Sect, peerless Battle Soul Hammer!

The once incomparably glorious number one sect under heaven had already descended into complete chaos.

In the Clear Sky Sect's council hall, the old Sect Master Tang Zhen sat in his chair, coughing loudly.

Already bedridden with a serious illness, he had coughed up blood the moment he received the news and had nearly been angered to death on the spot.

When facing Spirit Hall, Earth Shaker Douluo did not dare show even a trace of negligence.

Back when his father Tang Chen was still around, they could still contend with Spirit Hall. But now, they simply lacked the means to challenge Spirit Hall. After all, Qian Daoliu alone could wipe out the entire Clear Sky Sect!

During this time, everyone in the Clear Sky Sect had been on edge.

"How is it? Xiao'er, has Spirit Hall still made no move? Is there any new information?"

Tang Zhen's aged body trembled faintly as he forced himself to sit in his chair, repeatedly questioning Tang Xiao, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

Tang Xiao was also tense, but he still forced a smile and continued consoling his father. "Dad, you should rest for a while. You haven't slept for three whole days! I'll take care of things here."

Though he said that, Tang Xiao knew better than anyone just how terrifying this matter was.

Qian Daoliu's son had been killed by his younger brother. If Spirit Hall truly intended to strike at the Clear Sky Sect, they would not need to send anyone else. Qian Daoliu alone could slaughter the entire Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Xiao repeatedly urged his father to rest, yet he himself had not slept for three whole days either.

Hao Di, Hao Di, the disaster you caused this time is truly too great... I wonder where you are now. Are you dead or alive...?

Tang Xiao gazed sorrowfully into the distance. His once jet-black Long Hair was now threaded with streaks of silver, as though he had aged ten years overnight.

Just then, a Clear Sky Sect Disciple rushed in from outside.

Before he even arrived, his voice had already reached the hall.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, last night Spirit Hall launched overnight surprise attacks on every branch of our Clear Sky Sect. All direct-line disciples and disciples of affiliated sects at those branches were slaughtered. As of today, every one of our Clear Sky Sect branches has been wiped out!"

"What! Pfft..."

Upon hearing the news, Tang Zhen's vision went black. He spat out a mouthful of old blood, and his body began to tremble violently.

He had painstakingly spent decades spreading the Clear Sky Sect's influence throughout the continent, only for it all to vanish overnight!

Bloody tears streamed from Tang Zhen's eyes as his gaze split with fury. "Ah... Ah! Damned! That damned unfilial son, that damned Spirit Hall!"

Seeing his father's agitated state, Tang Xiao hurried forward to support him, his eyes full of worry. "Dad, calm down. The Healing Soul Master said that you absolutely must not get angry during this time..."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Supported by Tang Xiao, Tang Zhen began coughing violently. Then, with a "wah," he suddenly vomited a huge mouthful of blood, spraying it across the floor. The Soul Power around him fluctuated wildly before strength left his body, and he collapsed straight back into his chair.

"Dad! Dad! What's wrong? Don't scare me! Someone, hurry! Go find Elder Ye, and summon all the Elders!"

Tang Xiao's roar nearly blew the roof off. Terrifying Titled Douluo-level Soul Power mixed with the sound waves, and nearly everyone in the sect heard his furious cry.

Before long, a rumbling sound like an earthquake came from outside the door. Then, a group of Elders with bulging muscles smashed straight through the doors, nearly demolishing the entire room.

"Second Brother! What's wrong? Say something!"

The Third Elder and Seventh Elder were the first to rush inside. When they saw Tang Zhen lying in Tang Xiao's arms, already without breath, they nearly fell to their knees. They immediately threw themselves beside Tang Zhen and began weeping bitterly.

Since childhood, the Third Elder, Seventh Elder, and Tang Zhen had shared the closest relationship, nearly inseparable from one another.

Now, seeing their beloved Second Brother die right before their Eyes, the two of them simply could not accept the reality before them.

For the Seventh Elder in particular, it was like misfortune piling upon misfortune.

News of his son's death had only just arrived, and now he watched his Second Brother die before his very Eyes. The Seventh Elder could no longer suppress the fury in his heart.

"Damned Spirit Hall, damned Qian Daoliu! You dared slaughter the disciples of my Clear Sky Sect! This is absolutely unforgivable!"

The Seventh Elder was so furious that his brows, beard, and hair all stood on end. A terrifying, scorching blaze erupted from his body as he picked up two hammers and strode outside.

"Seventh, where are you going?"

Before the Seventh Elder could step through the doors, a tall man with graying hair blocked his path.

He pressed one hand firmly onto the Seventh Elder's shoulder. Powerful level 96 Soul Power instantly pinned the Seventh Elder in place.

The newcomer was the Clear Sky Sect's First Elder, the eldest brother of the Clear Sky Sect Master and all the Elders—Heaven Suppressing Douluo Tang Zhen!

"Big Brother, let me go! I'm going to avenge my Second Brother! I'm going to avenge my son!"

The Seventh Elder's face twisted viciously. A scorched smell rose from his clothes. His Martial Soul was the mutated Flame Clear Sky Twin Hammers, possessing not only the terrifying strength of the Clear Sky Hammer but also the power of searing flames.

Even though his Soul Power Level was only 86, his strength was enough to rival a half-step Titled Douluo.

However, his Martial Soul also had a flaw: whenever he became extremely angry, the flames on his body would begin burning uncontrollably.

"Tang Lie, wake up! Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo alone are already terrifyingly powerful. Even I cannot break free from their Two Extremes Forbidden Domain.

Not to mention that Spirit Hall has other Titled-level Elders, as well as Super Douluo-level Consecrates!

And Qian Daoliu is still alive. What difference is there between going to Spirit Hall now and throwing your life away?"

When he mentioned Qian Daoliu, a look of fear involuntarily appeared in the First Elder's Eyes.

Though it seemed that there were only three levels separating his Soul Power from Qian Daoliu's, the actual gap was dozens of times greater. If they truly fought, Qian Daoliu could kill him within a few exchanges.

After all, with his current physical condition, he could not use the Great Sumeru Hammer at all, and Qian Daoliu would never give him the chance to use Exploding Ring.

"Are we just going to let this go?"

The Seventh Elder roared at the First Elder with reddened eyes.

"Of course we cannot let this go, but not now. Right now, we must endure! Our Clear Sky Sect still has many young children who have not grown up. If we fight Spirit Hall to the death now, those children will never have the chance to grow up!"

Hearing the First Elder's words, the Seventh Elder finally calmed down.

His two little grandsons were only three years old. If something happened to him, what would become of those two little ones? They had just lost their parents; they absolutely could not lose their grandfather as well.

Thinking of this, Tang Lie dejectedly lowered the hammers In hand and slumped onto the ground.

The First Elder silently looked at his younger brothers and Tang Xiao. Then, in a low voice, he said, "Enough. Now is not the time for grief. Many matters remain unresolved. From this moment on, I will temporarily assume the position of Sect Master and stabilize the entire sect first. Clear Sky Sect, seal the mountain..."
