Clear Sky Sect, the Sinner Tang Hao, Reputation Reversed

Clear Sky Sect, Main Hall.

A heavy, oppressive atmosphere filled the entire hall; the air seemed to have solidified into lead.

Tang Xiao, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, who sat at the head of the table, had bloodshot eyes.

He stared in disbelief at the emaciated man before him, who had lost both arms and legs and looked like a dried-up demon.

That was none other than his younger brother, the once-famous Haotian Douluo Tang Hao!

"Brother Hao! What on earth happened?!"

Tang Xiao slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair, and the dragon head armrest, made of fine iron, instantly shattered into dust.

In the next instant, he was already in front of Tang Hao.

Tang Xiao's trembling hands prevented him from embracing Tang Hao.

"Second brother, how did you become like this? Who did this to you?!"

"Big brother... it's the Spirit Hall, they're all those bastards from the Spirit Hall!"

Tang Hao slumped in his wheelchair, his eyes sunken, filled with resentment and endless pain, his voice like a vengeful ghost scratching at a stone slab.

"They plotted to ambush me, extract my Soul Bone, and destroy my cultivation!"

"What?!"

Tang Xiao stood up abruptly.

The powerful Titled Douluo instantly swept through the hall.

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"

"Damn the Spirit Hall, how dare they harm my second brother like this!"

"This is an irreconcilable feud! I will make the Spirit Hall pay for this in blood!"

"You've suffered, second brother!"

Hearing this, Tang San, who was standing next to Tang Hao, felt relieved, and his eyes welled up with tears.

Tang San was secretly moved.

It seems there is still true loyalty and camaraderie within the Clear Sky Sect!

With my uncle's support, I, Tang San, will surely be able to return to my ancestral home today.

At that time, we will unite the two great empires and crush the Spirit Hall!

Lin Qingmo, you stole my opportunity and took my Xiao Wu! When I take control of the Clear Sky Sect, I will make you suffer eternal damnation!

"Bullshit! Tang Xiao, shut up!"

However, before Tang San's emotions could last long, a Thunder shout instantly interrupted the brothers' heartfelt reunion!

The Second Elder, who was sitting on the left, suddenly stood up.

"Seek revenge on the Spirit Hall?" His face turned ashen as he pointed at Tang Hao's nose and cursed, "Tang Xiao, are you out of your mind or have you gone mad?"

"If it weren't for that wretched child Tang Hao's reckless actions and provocation of the Spirit Hall back then, how could the old sect master have perished?"

"How could our Clear Sky Sect be forced to abandon its four subordinate sects and cower like dogs on this deep mountain cliff, afraid to see the light of day?"

"The one who started all of this is Tang Hao!"

"His becoming a cripple today is the karmic cycle of God; he deserves it!"

"That's right! Tang Hao is a traitor to the sect! We absolutely cannot go to war with the Spirit Hall for his sake. We must preserve the Clear Sky Sect's fighting strength!"

The other six elders stood up, their faces cold and their words sharp as knives.

"You!" Tang Xiao trembled with rage. "Brother Hao is my father's own flesh and blood!"

"He's already been persecuted to this extent, are you suggesting the sect just stand by and watch him die? Or are you going to kick him while he's down?"

"The sect's rules are paramount!" The Second Elder sneered, staring intently at Tang Hao: "The disaster he brought to the sect back then cannot be washed away even if he dies a hundred times!"

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Just then, Tang San, standing behind Tang Hao, stepped out with a gloomy face.

At this moment, he straightened his back as much as possible. "Elders, please hear what this junior Tang San, has to say."

Tang San spoke in a calm and composed voice, surveying the entire audience with neither arrogance nor servility.

"I am Tang San. My father was young and impetuous back then, which indeed brought disaster and shame to the sect."

"On behalf of my father, I acknowledge this point without any attempt to deny it."

When the elders heard that Tang San was Tang Hao's son, they all showed disdain.

The elders were about to start mocking them when...

"But!" Tang San suddenly raised his voice, his eyes flashing with unparalleled fanaticism and hatred. "Do you elders really believe that what happened back then was an accident?"

"The direct culprit who persecuted my father, killed my grandfather, and drove the Clear Sky Sect to the brink of destruction has always been the Spirit Hall!"

Tang San suddenly spread his arms wide and, in front of dozens of high-ranking members of the Clear Sky Sect, dropped a bombshell.

"Because my mother is not an ordinary human being!"

"She is the Blue Silver Emperor, Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast!!!"

Boom!!

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor?"

"Tang Hao actually married a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast back then?"

The younger generation in the room all gasped as their pupils contracted sharply.

Tang San sneered, "Back then, the Spirit Hall coveted my mother's Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Soul Bone, which is why they resorted to any means to hunt down my parents."

"This is all a conspiracy and covetous scheme by the Spirit Hall. What wrong has my father done?"

"The Clear Sky Sect suffered this humiliation entirely because of the Spirit Hall's insatiable greed!"

The starkly different truth struck, prompting many of the younger generation to angrily denounce the Spirit Hall.

The elders exchanged glances, their imposing manner immediately diminishing by three points.

Seeing the elders stunned, a hint of smugness flashed in Tang San's eyes.

"Big brother..." Tang Hao also spoke in a hoarse voice, looking at his eldest Tang Xiao, and said, "I brought Xiao San back today for no other reason than to let her Xiao San!"

"He is the hope of the Clear Sky Sect!"

Tang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Good! Xiao San is Second Brother's son, and should rightfully return to the family!"

"Wait!" the Second Elder interrupted again, his voice cold. "On what grounds?"

"No matter what, Tang Hao is still the culprit who caused the death of the old sect master."

"Why should a sect take in the son of a sinner?"

"Unless he possesses talent that surpasses his peers, he can forget about entering the Clear Sky Sect!"

"Crushing one's peers?"

Tang Hao's lips curled into a smug, cold smile.

"Xiao San, let the elders see this clearly!"

"Yes, Father!"

Tang San's eyes blazed with unparalleled pride and confidence.

He took a sudden step forward, and his Berserk Soul Power exploded.

Boom!

A jet-black hammer radiating extremely domineering power instantly floated in Tang San's right hand— the Clear Sky Hammer!

at the same time,

The Spirit Ring on Tang San's body suddenly lit up in an extremely strange and shocking way!

Purple! Purple! Purple! Black! Black!

All five Spirit Ring surpassed the conventional Perfect Spirit Ring Configuration in the Douluo Continent.

The interwoven black and purple light illuminated the entire main hall of the Clear Sky Sect.

"This... this is...!"

The Second Elder's eyes widened instantly, his voice trembling. "Purple, purple, black... The First Spirit Ring is a thousand years, the Fourth Spirit Ring ten thousand years?!"

Tang Hao straightened his back proudly and shouted, "Elders, look carefully! My Xiao San is only fourteen years old this year, but he is already a level 57 Battle Soul King!"

"A fourteen-year-old Spirit King!"

"I ask you, among all my peers, who can rival my Xiao San?"

The elders of the Clear Sky Sect were all stunned.

This is more than just genius.

This is simply a once-in-a-millennium prodigy!

With such Qilin, the Clear Sky Sect's return to the top sect on the continent is just around the corner.

The Second Elder also hesitated, and the scales in his heart began to tip.

Seeing this, Tang Xiao slammed his palm on the table and shouted like Sea God, "Hahahaha! Good! What a fourteen-year-old Spirit King!"

"Elders, what happened back then was entirely the work of the Spirit Hall. What wrong did Brother Hao do?"

"Now that the Xiao San possesses such unparalleled beauty, it is a blessing from heaven for our Clear Sky Sect."

"I've decided to give the Xiao San the chance to be recognized as part of the family. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

Faced with the sect leader's imposing presence, the seven elders exchanged glances and all yielded.

The Second Elder stepped forward, his face extremely solemn. "Alright! Tang San, we can allow you to acknowledge your ancestors and return to the clan, but the sect rules cannot be disregarded."

"If you wish to return to the sect, you must undergo the sect's three great trials."

"Do you dare to accept?"

Tang San proudly put away the Clear Sky Hammer, his eyes revealing boundless confidence and ambition.

He raised his head and laughed loudly, "What's there to be afraid of?"

"I, Tang San, will accept all trials!"
