Tang Xiao Lands on Sea God Island

Sea God Island.

After two months of traveling day and night, Tang Xiao finally set foot on this small island once again.

Warmth enveloped the island. Looking out, Sea God Island was a lush expanse of green. This massive island made Tang Xiao, who had been drifting on the ocean for nearly a month, feel as if he had returned to the Douluo Continent; it was so vast that he could not see the end of it. The island was covered in various plants, many of which he could not even name.

The air was filled with the refreshing, moist, and invigorating scent of the sea, with the faint cries and whispers of the ocean carried on the breeze.

Under the sunlight, the white, fine sand on the beach shimmered like tiny crystals, casting a silvery glow. Upon arriving, the first thing one felt was the clarity—the sea and sky merged into one, with seagulls soaring in competition. The sky was a deep, distant, pure, and transparent blue, breathtakingly beautiful.

"Not a single change. Sea God Island truly is a miraculous place."

Tang Xiao recalled the scenery he had witnessed when he visited the island with Tang Hao in their youth, and he let out a sigh of admiration.

Logically, since Sea God Island was located in the middle of the ocean, the environmental conditions should have been harsh, with humid, salty air—much like the air he had breathed upon arriving at Vast Sea City.

It was usually difficult for ordinary people to live on such islands, but Sea God Island lacked all the typical weather patterns of an oceanic island. It was like spring all year round, a living environment akin to a paradise on earth.

"Who goes there?"

Following a sharp shout, seven or eight figures suddenly leaped out from the forest, their gazes fixed on Tang Xiao. These people had different appearances, but they shared one common trait: their clothing. They wore light yellow outfits similar to martial attire. The oldest was about forty, while the youngest were around twenty. There were eight of them in total, lining up to surround Tang Xiao.

These Sea God Island spirit masters, dressed in uniform light yellow, were surprised to see Tang Xiao—how could a stranger appear here? Then, they all looked at Tang Xiao's severed arm.

Tang Xiao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Everyone of Sea God Island, please do not misunderstand. I have no ill intentions. My name is Tang Xiao, from the Clear Sky Sect on the continent. I have been to Sea God Island before; my grandfather, Tang Chen, is a friend of your island's High Priestess."

"I have come to Sea God Island this time to seek an audience with the High Priestess once more."

Sea God Island was isolated from the world, but most of their daily supplies were obtained through barter with Vast Sea City, which was how Martial Soul Hall knew of the island's existence. As one of the seven great sects of the continent, the Clear Sky Sect was also known to them through the island's trade routes.

Upon hearing that Tang Xiao's grandfather was a friend of the High Priestess, the expressions of the spirit masters turned solemn. They prepared to take Tang Xiao to see a Sacred Pillar Douluo for verification.

Just then, behind Tang Xiao, the calm waves rose. The sea surface splashed with water like fish leaping out, as if welcoming someone's arrival. An aura that all the people of Sea God Island found incredibly familiar approached from the distance.

Tang Xiao and the spirit masters turned to look in one direction. A red dot appeared on the horizon, and in the blink of an eye, it magnified before their eyes.

Everyone felt the space distort slightly, and in the next moment, a person stood on the shore.

She appeared to be about one meter eighty tall, draped in a vibrant red robe. Her long white hair cascaded behind her, and her delicate, beautiful face looked no older than thirty. Her beauty stemmed more from her temperament—noble, elegant, and warmly gentle. In her right hand, she held a three-meter-long scepter. The scepter was golden, matching the color that had appeared in the sky earlier. It was carved with magical patterns, and the head of the staff featured a diamond-shaped protrusion like a spearhead. Five inches below the tip, a diamond-shaped golden gemstone was embedded.

If one judged solely by appearance, she was an incomparable beauty, but her temperament was truly beyond compare.

"Greetings, High Priestess."

The eight spirit masters bowed in salute. Given their status, they naturally would not usually see the High Priestess, but according to the rules of Sea God Island, one wore the color of the assessment they had completed.

The only person on the entire Sea God Island who could wear red was the High Priestess, Bo Saixi.

Bo Saixi nodded at the eight, leaving them feeling flattered.

"Senior Bo Saixi."

Seeing Bo Saixi, Tang Xiao finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Tang Xiao, it has been a long time. Your left arm—what happened?" Bo Saixi's gaze fell upon the empty, fluttering sleeve of his left arm, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Tang Chen had once sent Tang Xiao and Tang Hao to Sea God Island to deliver a love letter, expressing his determination to return after becoming a god to marry her. At that time, she learned that Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were Tang Chen's grandsons, the "Clear Sky Twins" of the Clear Sky Sect, and the future successors and pillars of the sect.

If one of the Clear Sky Twins, Tang Chen's grandson, had his arm severed, then something terrible must have happened to the Clear Sky Sect.

She loved Tang Chen deeply and had been waiting for his return, having exchanged vows of love with him regardless of whether he had achieved godhood. With Tang Chen's grandson maimed and the Clear Sky Sect in trouble, she naturally could not turn a blind eye.

Tang Xiao clenched his fists tightly, a look of profound grief appearing on his face. Tears streamed down his eyes again as he said tremblingly, "Senior, the Clear Sky Sect has been destroyed. All our brothers and sisters were killed. The only survivors are myself, Younger Brother Hao, and Yuehua—the three of us—along with our grandfather, whose life or death is unknown. My younger sister was also captured and defiled."

Hearing this, Bo Saixi was shocked. Upon hearing that the Clear Sky Sect had been wiped out and Tang Chen's granddaughter had been humiliated, anger flared on her face.

"What happened? Who on the continent destroyed your Clear Sky Sect? Who committed such a ruthless and vicious act?"

Tang Xiao gritted his teeth, his heart boiling with murderous intent. "It was Martial Soul Hall, Qian Daoliu, and Qian Daoliu's son, Qian Xunji."

"Qian Daoliu... he actually dared to commit such a deranged, base, and filthy act? Is he not afraid of Tang Chen going mad?"

Bo Saixi could sense Tang Chen's spirit power; he was still alive, and Qian Daoliu should have been able to sense it as well.

"Tang Xiao, tell me the whole story from beginning to end."

Seeing that Bo Saixi seemed willing to take action for the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao was overjoyed. He recounted the events in detail, word for word, pushing all the blame onto Martial Soul Hall and insisting the Clear Sky Sect was entirely innocent.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin had fallen in love, and Ah Yin's true identity was a hundred-thousand-year transformed spirit beast, the Blue Silver Emperor. Martial Soul Hall coveted Ah Yin's spirit ring and spirit bone, so their army hunted Tang Hao. Tang Hao fought back in self-defense, wiping out the Martial Soul Hall troops and severely wounding Qian Xunji.

Upon learning of Tang Hao's astonishing feat, Bo Saixi nodded slightly to herself. He was truly worthy of being Tang Chen's descendant; he had not tarnished the name of Tang Chen's Clear Sky.
