Chrysanthemum Douluo sized up Tang Zhen and said, "Very well, Sun-Sky-Sky Douluo, is it? This Seat will return to report to Martial Soul Hall shortly."

Tang Zhen thought to himself, Hao'er, once you hear this new title, I believe you will surely understand your father's painstaking efforts.

Over the past ten thousand years, the titles of Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent were generally one or two characters long; Tang Hao's new three-character title, 'Sun-Sky-Sky', was indeed the first of its kind.

In Tang Zhen's view, Tang Hao had just entered the Titled Douluo realm and already fought three against one, hammering three Martial Soul Hall Titled Douluo—killing one, crippling one, and severely wounding the third—and sending the Angel descendant Qian Xunji running with his tail between his legs. Such glorious battle achievements were even superior to those of his father, Tang Chen. Although Qian Daoliu was a defeated opponent of Tang Chen, Tang Chen had never fought three against one and hammered Qian Daoliu into a fool.

Since Tang Hao was so beyond reason and had surpassed the ancestor Tang Chen, he naturally had to be given a title that was equally beyond reason and surpassed the ancestor Tang Chen: a three-character title with two 'Skies'—Sun-Sky-Sky.

He believed that once Tang Hao learned of this title, he would surely understand his meaning, strive even harder in his cultivation, and reach the 99th-level Titled Douluo realm as soon as possible.

Tang Zhen roared, "Chrysanthemum Douluo, the Clear Sky Sect has done everything Martial Soul Hall demanded! What other requirements does your Martial Soul Hall have!?"

"Oh, none."

The storage Soul Tool in Chrysanthemum Douluo's hand lit up; he took out a letter and tossed it toward Tang Zhen.

"This is a letter the Pope entrusted me to bring to you. Read it carefully. The Great Elder also said that although Tang Hao has stripped away the Clear Sky title, as long as he has not discarded his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, he still has ties to your Clear Sky Sect. Your Clear Sky Sect remains under suspicion of betraying the spirit master world. Stay honestly within those mountains; if anyone dares to come out," a cold light surged in Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes, "Martial Soul Hall will show no mercy!"

Tang Zhen, Tang Xiao, the Six Elders of Clear Sky, and all the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect turned red-eyed and panted like oxen upon hearing this, but they consoled themselves with the thought that as long as Tang Hao reached level 99 and the ancestor Tang Chen returned as a king, everything would be fine. It was just as well that Martial Soul Hall did not take further action; they were hiding from the world specifically to cultivate in peace, so that in the future, the Clear Sky Sect would have several more Titled Douluo to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Tang Hao and Tang Chen.

As for Martial Soul Hall slaughtering the small villages, the Clear Sky Sect did not care about these remaining affiliated clansmen and outer disciples. These disciples were originally meant to serve as a facade to confuse the outside world and help the Clear Sky Sect remain hidden. Since Martial Soul Hall already knew the Clear Sky Sect was hiding here and had come knocking, there was no longer any need for these people.

Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "Let's go."

Yang Wudi looked at the members of the Clear Sky Sect with a face full of unwillingness and hatred, saying, "Elder Chrysanthemum, are we just leaving like this?"

Knowing they could not win yet fighting to the death—this was the Breaking Clan. In a sense, the Breaking Clan was perhaps even more unyielding than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; otherwise, in the original history of the Clear Sky Sect's destruction, the Breaking Clan would not have suffered the heaviest casualties. If they hadn't learned that the Clear Sky Sect had fled, the Breaking Clan would likely have fought until their entire clan was wiped out.

Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at Yang Wudi. He finally understood the mood of the Great Elder when he cursed them in the Elder Hall for having no brains. He transmitted his voice, "Why fight head-on? The Clear Sky Sect occupies the high ground; do you want the spirit masters of Martial Soul Hall to die in vain? Let's go; everything has already been arranged. The Clear Sky Sect will disappear today."

Under the perception of Tang Zhen's Titled Douluo-level spiritual power, seeing most of Martial Soul Hall's forces gradually leave and disappear from his range of perception, he finally let out a sigh of relief and roared, "Martial Soul Hall! When my father returns as a god and Hao'er reaches the 99th-level Titled Douluo, the humiliation you have heaped upon the Clear Sky Sect will be repaid a hundredfold in the days to come!"

A moment later, Tang Xiao asked, "Father, what is written in the letter Qian Xunji sent you?"

"What good could that dog Qian Xunji possibly write?"

Despite his words, Tang Zhen tore open the envelope.

The moment he saw the words written on the letter, Tang Zhen's eyes were instantly bloodshot, his face flushed completely red, and he panted like an ox, his haggard face covered in death spots.

The letter contained only one sentence: Tang Zhen, your daughter is truly amazing!

"Qian Xunji—you beast! Give me back my daughter—"

Qian Xunji: Father, why do you ruin my reputation?

"Pfft—"

Tang Zhen roared at the sky, his eyes splitting, completely unable to suppress his fury. As he tried to hold back the surging blood in his body, he spat out a large mouthful of stagnant blood and collapsed limply.

This time, Tang Zhen's breathing did not just grow weak; his eyes rolled back, his head tilted to the side, and his hands went limp. His body could no longer withstand the torture of his illness, and he died completely—he had been angered to death by illness, or simply put, he was scared to death.

"Father—"

Tang Xiao did not understand why Tang Zhen's emotional fluctuations were so violent, but he hurriedly caught him. Feeling that Tang Zhen's breathing had stopped and his heart seemed to have ceased beating, he was overcome with extreme grief. His peripheral vision caught the content written on Qian Xunji's letter on the ground, and he immediately understood that his beloved sister had likely been defiled by that beast, Qian Xunji.

"Qian Xunji! Qian Daoliu! Martial Soul Hall! The hatred of shaming my sister! The grudge of killing my father! I, Tang Xiao, will one day slaughter your entire Martial Soul Hall!!"

Tears streamed from Tang Xiao's tiger-like eyes as he hugged Tang Zhen's corpse and roared.

When the Five Elders of Clear Sky saw the text on the letter and realized the Sect Master had been angered to death, they were just as grief-stricken as Tang Xiao, wishing they could wipe out the entire Martial Soul Hall.

Tang Lie was grief-stricken and angry at Tang Zhen's death, but he had long known that Tang Zhen was riddled with illness and could die at any moment, so he was mentally prepared. Furthermore, because he looked down on Tang Yuehua, he felt little anger regarding her potential defilement by Qian Xunji; he was the first to realize what Tang Yuehua being taken away by Martial Soul Hall meant for the Clear Sky Sect.

"Yuehua has been captured by Martial Soul Hall; what are we going to eat in the Clear Sky Sect from now on?"

Hearing this, Tang Xiao was furious and said, "Seventh Elder, Father is dead! My sister may have been defiled by that animal Qian Xunji, and you are actually thinking about what to eat!?"

Tang Lie considered himself to be thinking of the sect's future. Hearing this junior, Tang Xiao, berate him in front of all the Clear Sky Sect disciples, he was also furious and retorted, "Is there something wrong with what this old man said? Tang Yuehua was responsible for the Clear Sky Sect's procurement. Now that Yuehua is gone and Martial Soul Hall won't let us leave the mountains, without food, how can the sect rise? We'll starve to death!"

Seeing that Tang Xiao and Tang Lie were about to argue again, and knowing that the Clear Sky Sect's food supply was indeed a problem, the Second Elder said with a headache, "Xiao, Old Seven, the Sect Master's body is not yet cold; let us hold the funeral for the Sect Master first. The Clear Sky Sect's food can last for another month; we will discuss this matter later."

Tang Xiao nodded, agreeing with the Second Elder's idea. With his father just dead, what could be more important than the Sect Master's funeral? His tiger-like eyes still filled with tears, he carried Tang Zhen toward the Clear Sky Sect, followed by the Six Elders of Clear Sky and the disciples of the sect.
