Tang Hao knew this as well, which was why even while he was on the run with Ah Yin, he refused to bring anyone back to the Clear Sky Sect.

It wasn't until Tang San was born that Tang Wei repeated his old trick, using the excuse of wanting to see his grandson to arrange a dead end for them.

This led to the iconic scene where Tang Hao's family of three was surrounded by Martial Soul Hall, forcing Ah Yin to perform her sacrifice.

Tang Hao eventually realized this himself, but as a sect-slave, how could he ever blame the Clear Sky Sect for such a thing?

In the end, he could only heap all his hatred onto Martial Soul Hall.

In fact, if it weren't for Bibi Dong killing Qian Xunji, the Clear Sky Sect would truly have been the biggest winner in the entire affair.

With a prodigy of the Clear Sky Sect brutally crushing the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, the sect's reputation would have inevitably soared.

With Ah Yin's sacrifice, the stain of colluding with a Soul Beast could have been easily washed away, and they would have gained a talented descendant possessing the bloodline of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

The Clear Sky Sect could have easily molded Tang San into a second Tang Chen to bolster their momentum; after all, with Tang Chen missing, the sect was in dire need of a pillar of strength.

Seeing the "truth" revealed by the Sky Screen, Tang Xiao of the Clear Sky Sect was the most shocked; he never imagined that the mastermind behind that incident was his own father.

He finally understood why his father had been so enraged that he vomited blood and eventually passed away.

It wasn't just anger at Tang Hao for bringing disaster upon the Clear Sky Sect, but also the frustration of seeing his meticulous schemes destroyed in an instant.

"Don't tell me you were completely unaware of this!"

Tang Xiao roared at the five great elders before him, and now it was their turn to fall silent.

In Martial Soul City, Ouyang Kong also witnessed the complex expression on Qian Daoliu's face; back then, Martial Soul Hall had simply been a whetstone for Tang Hao.

Ouyang Kong couldn't help but think that while he had seen many fathers who sabotaged their children, one who sabotaged his son to this extent was truly rare.

However, such a "truth" did explain the inconsistencies in the entire event.

Of course, the fact that the situation reached that point was inextricably linked to Tang Hao's sect-slave mentality and Ah Yin's romanticized naivety.

In Heaven Dou City, at the Akademiya Branch, Tang San felt somewhat dazed.

Should he seek revenge? And against whom? Martial Soul Hall or the Clear Sky Sect?

But he soon stopped dwelling on this, as the next images updated on the Sky Screen shifted the focus to him.

In the footage, Tang San went to great lengths to infiltrate the Tang Sect's Scripture Pavilion to obtain the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, immediately beginning to study the techniques within.

The scene then shifted, showing Tang San being hunted down by the elders of the Tang Sect.

This exposed that Tang San had stolen secret techniques and was being pursued only after his discovery.

The footage then displayed the various methods Tang San had mastered, such as the Purple Demon Eye, the Mysterious Jade Hand, and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Ultimately, Tang San was cornered at Ghost Sorrow, where he left behind the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus before leaping off the cliff.

The scene shifted once more, showing the Tang San who had jumped off the cliff transforming into an infant in swaddling clothes, being picked up by Tang Hao.

Stealing sect secrets was a grave crime in the Douluo Continent as well; with this exposed, everyone would now be three parts wary of Tang San.

Tang Hao, who was busy drinking, gave a miserable laugh; he had long suspected it, and the Sky Screen had merely confirmed his inner guesses.

"Ah Yin, what should I do?"

Tang Hao took out the remains of Ah Yin to ask, but received no response.

At the Akademiya Branch in Heaven Dou City, Ning Rongrong did the math.

"Doesn't that mean Tang San is over 30 years old!"

Thinking back to Shrek Academy, where Tang San—a middle-aged man with a real age of over 30—had pretended to be their peer, using stolen secret techniques to show off in front of her, Ning Rongrong suddenly felt a chill.

Zhu Zhuqing also leaned over to Xiao Wu and asked, "Xiao Wu, you said you slept together when you were children, right? But if you really count it up, you're much older than him."

"Zhuqing! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Xiao Wu looked at the Sky Screen, her mood also somewhat complicated.

Ouyang Kong had a question of his own.

"Nahida, would you consider Tang San's situation to be soul possession or reincarnation?"

"That is difficult to judge, but we could test the soul compatibility; if it were possession, the soul compatibility would certainly not reach 100%."

"I have already warned him; I hope he does not make the same mistake."

At the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao remained lost in thought for a long time; he found it unacceptable that the soul of Ah Yin and Tang Hao's child was actually a thief who had been forced to commit suicide for stealing sect secrets.

"Ah Yin and Hao-di have suffered enough; why must they be treated this way?"

Tang Xiao's question was destined to go unanswered, as the Sky Screen's review of the key figures of the Clear Sky Sect had concluded.

The five great elders were very dissatisfied; they clearly held pivotal positions within the Clear Sky Sect, so why didn't they even qualify to be reviewed by the Sky Screen?

But they could only swallow their resentment; the Sky Screen did not care about insignificant people like them.

[Tang Chen brought the Clear Sky Sect to an incredibly high peak through his own efforts, but because this height was too great, it left the Clear Sky Sect in an awkward position after his disappearance.]

[It was also because of the Clear Sky Sect's high status that the disciples of the sect developed an arrogant mindset.]

[The sect itself lacks unity, burdened by excessive utilitarianism, with power struggles unfolding in the shadows.]

[Furthermore, because Tang Hao severely wounded Qian Xunji, the death of Qian Xunji was blamed on the Clear Sky Sect, leading to a devastating blow to the sect's influence and leaving only a handful of core disciples to linger in the ancestral lands.]

[In summary, the Clear Sky Sect has declined from its peak, yet it remains ranked eighth due to the support of high-level combatants like Tang Chen.]

Tang Hao watched the Sky Screen's assessment of the Clear Sky Sect, tossed aside his empty wine skin, and tucked away Ah Yin's true form.

"I am sorry, Ah Yin!"

Having said this, Tang Hao continued his journey toward Slaughter City; in the end, the Clear Sky Sect still held a higher place in his heart.

The disciples of the Clear Sky Sect began to anticipate the rewards from the Sky Screen, all hoping to catch a glimmer of good fortune.

[Congratulations to the Clear Sky Sect for making the list. Reward: Teyvat Fried Egg (exclusive use for Clear Sky Sect members).]

A fried egg appeared in Tang Xiao's hand, complete with a plate.

The effects of this Teyvat Fried Egg simultaneously manifested in Tang Xiao's mind.

"Resurrection! It can actually resurrect a person!"

Tang Xiao's voice was not loud, but the five great elders heard him clearly.

They stared fixedly at Tang Xiao; who wouldn't want a resurrection item? They all had loved ones they wished to bring back.

Whether this Teyvat Fried Egg rewarded by the Sky Screen would be a blessing or a curse for the Clear Sky Sect remained to be seen.

The others had no idea what this reward was or what it could do.

Even the people from the Akademiya were clueless, as the Teyvat Fried Egg is truly just the most ordinary dish in Teyvat.

Only Ouyang Kong, a gamer, knew that the Teyvat Fried Egg was a resurrection item.

"A resurrection item—if there are no restrictive conditions, people would surely fight to the death for it. But even with restrictions, the Clear Sky Sect will likely tear itself apart over this."
