Clear Sky Sect, Trouble Again!

Tang San listened, his head full of question marks.

What did he mean, because the Clear Sky Sect was targeting him?

Though he vaguely sensed something was amiss, seeing his father's agitated expression, he did not voice his doubts.

Listening silently, he soon understood the intent; in saying so much, there were two primary objectives.

First, the outside world was too dangerous; the Holy Demon Federation was massive, with powerhouses as numerous as clouds.

After his battle with Long Xingyu, Tang Hao had clearly been frightened; already harboring a decadent mindset, he was even less willing to get involved in the war.

He only hoped his son could escape the trouble.

The Clear Sky Sect was in seclusion, so surely it was safer than Heaven Dou, right?

One had to remember that based on past experiences, Shrek had likely been targeted while still inside the city.

Beyond that factor, the other goal was "acknowledging ancestors and returning to the clan," one of Tang Hao's long-cherished wishes.

Perhaps he could take this opportunity to return to the sect? By providing valuable intelligence, maybe the elders would accept Tang San?

From start to finish, Tang Hao wandered further and further into his own misunderstandings, failing to realize just how absurdly wrong he was.

In Lin Feng's eyes, the reclusive Clear Sky Sect hadn't been a high-priority target, but sending Tang San back now would be akin to inviting disaster.

Unknowingly, Tang Hao had sabotaged his sect once again.

Having caused the family heavy losses years ago, the situation this time would only be more tragic.

After listening, Tang San was noncommittal; though not particularly interested, he couldn't be bothered to refute his father.

He nodded casually, effectively agreeing to Tang Hao's request, treating it as a way to take refuge while helping his father resolve his inner knot.

"Good, good, good. Then let's hurry. I will have Yuehua help provide cover; she has influence within the imperial family."

"I expect that once Emperor Xue Ye learns of the battle's outcome, he will have his own thoughts regarding the Clear Sky Sect and won't dare to make things difficult for you."

Seeing his son agree, Tang Hao was ecstatic.

Even the sharp pain in his body seemed to lessen significantly.

He stood up, solemnly patted his son's shoulder, his face full of relief and joy.

He then called his sister in, and the group deliberated further, launching their plan that very night.

Tang Yuehua met with Emperor Xue Ye, using the excuse of having Tang San return to the sect to persuade them to re-emerge, thereby securing imperial support.

They departed immediately, utilizing official secret channels to quietly slip out of Heaven Dou City, not even alerting Shrek; the level of concealment was absolute.

"That brat has left?"

Inside the palace, Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow slightly.

This operation might have fooled others, but it couldn't hide from the "Crown Prince" of the empire, who received the news immediately.

"Yes, Young Mistress. If my senses are correct, Tang Hao should be lurking in the shadows. Do we need to do anything?"

The response came from Pufferfish and Snake Lance; by now, Thousand Jun and Falling Devil had already taken the corpse of Gui Mei and were speeding back to Martial Soul City.

"No need. The current situation is unclear, and this might not be a bad thing. Let's observe for now."

Qian Renxue's face was filled with keen interest. After speaking, a strange light flickered in her eyes as she whispered to herself.

"I am more curious whether Tang San's return to the sect this time will be a blessing or a curse for the Clear Sky Sect..."

Her expression had, in fact, already provided the answer.

And it was clear that she was not the only one with such thoughts.

Far away in Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong had just finished seeing Yue Guan and reacted to the news in the same way.

"The Clear Sky Sect is about to have bad luck again!"

Compared to the subtle Qian Renxue, she was more direct as a mother.

As for why she said "again," the reason was simple: this wasn't the first time the Tang family had run into misfortune.

Back then, because of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, they were heavily besieged by Martial Soul Hall and nearly wiped out, even abandoning the Four Single-Attribute Clans.

They had barely managed to scrape by, yet after only a few years, it seemed they were about to repeat the same mistakes—and the key saboteur was Tang Hao once again.

"Knowing they are being watched by the Holy Demon Federation, he still lets Tang San go back? Isn't he afraid of inviting a wolf into the house?"

"But it's fine; it can help Martial Soul Hall share some of the pressure. The current situation is indeed too unfavorable."

As she spoke, Bibi Dong's brows furrowed tightly once more.

Her gaze fell upon the Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was still kneeling below.

Not long ago, having carried Dai Mubai back, he had requested an audience with the Pope immediately to lay out the sequence of events.

This included the death of his partner Gui Mei, the fact that the enemy's target was suspected to be Tang San, and the appearance of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, all described in as much detail as possible.

After listening, Bibi Dong's mood naturally grew heavy.

She was furious that her loyal dog had been killed and that the enemy was far too strong.

Yet, she currently had no solutions, as the efforts to form an alliance had not yet been completed.

It was only later, when new intelligence arrived from Heaven Dou City regarding the Clear Sky Sect's involvement in trouble and Emperor Xue Ye's agreement to cooperate, that there was finally some consolation.

"Elder Yue Guan, rise. This matter cannot be blamed on you."

"Please accept my condolences; we will avenge Gui Mei sooner or later."

"But before that, in order to defeat the Holy Demon Federation, you cannot rest yet."

"Hurry and take Dai Mubai back to the Star Luo Empire to sound out the Star Luo Emperor's intentions. Heaven Dou has already agreed; it all depends on him now."

If Martial Soul Hall had gained anything from this entire affair, it was undoubtedly the remaining goodwill of Dai Mubai.

He had barely managed to save his life and successfully bring him back to Martial Soul City, where they had gotten along quite well.

Therefore, even though Gui Mei's body was not yet cold and his funeral had not even been held, he was urged to continue his mission.

"Rest assured, I will not let you down this time."

Yue Guan slowly stood up, bowing respectfully to show his stance.

With his partner gone, his status had plummeted, and he had to cling tightly to the Pope's favor.

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction, though she could not be bothered to say more and immediately granted him leave.

In a flash, Yue Guan returned to his residence, where Dai Mubai was waiting, looking uneasy.

As a prince of Star Luo, he had a poor impression of Martial Soul Hall and had never imagined that one day he would be brought here.

"Elder, how is the situation?" He was, of course, asking about Shrek; before Yue Guan left, he had promised to help inquire about them.

"Do not worry, your teachers and classmates are all alive, and it is time for us to depart." Suppressing his displeasure, Yue Guan feigned a kindly demeanor.

Dai Mubai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Subconsciously, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Yue Guan felt secretly annoyed, thinking to himself that while your friends are alive, my best friend is gone!

If not for the Pope's secret order to maintain a good relationship for contingencies, he would have loved to kill the trash before him.

Of course, he could only think about it.

With a soft snort, Yue Guan urged Dai Mubai to leave.

The two soon set off, heading straight for the Star Luo imperial capital to facilitate the establishment of the Douluo Federation.

It could be said that all the factions across the Douluo Continent were rushing about for this purpose; Tang San was doing so, and so was Dai Mubai.

With them working so hard, the neighboring Holy Demon Federation was naturally not sitting idle.

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the City of Slaughter, the armies of both humans and demons were gathering, about to enter the next phase.

And Long Xingyu, having accepted a special mission, had already pointed his target toward the Clear Sky Sect based on the clues provided by Lin Feng...
