Checking in at the Clear Sky Sect, Reward: Green Divination Grass
"Ding! Master, congratulations on checking in at the Clear Sky Sect! Reward: Green Divination Grass!"
[Green Divination Grass: Also known as Lady's Mantle, it is the first grass in the world, containing the essence of all things]
Legend has it that Fuxi was the inventor of divination, and this herb was in Fuxi's possession. 💥🎯 👣🍓
Qian Ye was overjoyed and accepted it with a smile.
Tang Hao: "..."
Tang Xiao: "..."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent.
Ta-da-da~
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the Council Hall.
Qian Ye turned around and saw that there were five people in total.
They were all dressed in gray, yet each of them exuded considerable power and authority.
These people should be the five elders of the Clear Sky Sect: the Second Elder, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the Seventh Elder.
As for the Grand Elder, he is Tang Hao's father's father, Tang Chen. Because the Clear Sky Sect doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, no one dares to take the position of Grand Elder, so it has remained vacant.
Among the elders now, the Second Elder is the most senior.
The Sixth Elder died more than a decade ago in the great battle between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall when the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion.
Therefore, of the seven elders, only five remain now.
The Clear Sky Sect was unaware that their Grand Elder, Tang Hao, was still in the City of Slaughter as the King of Slaughter.
Qian Ye glanced at the five elders; apart from the Second Elder, who was level 94, the other four were all below Level 93. 👺✊ 🎀👌
This is also why the Clear Sky Sect was no match for the Spirit Hall back then.
The ten elders of the Spirit Hall are all above level 95, and there are many elders, including many Super Douluo, as well as Golden Crocodile Douluo Douluo the peak of Level 98 ninety-nine Peerless Douluo.
Coupled with a high-quality team of Soul Master, including Soul Douluo, Soul Saint, and Soul King, the Clear Sky Sect, no matter how strong its combat power, could not withstand four opponents alone. Once their Soul Power was exhausted, they would have no choice but to flee or wait to die.
The death of the sixth elder of the Clear Sky Sect is a good example.
Therefore, in order to protect themselves, the Clear Sky Sect had no choice but to back down and go into seclusion.
If it weren't for Qian Daoliu's concern for Tang Chen, he would have already wiped out the Clear Sky Sect.
There's another point in the original Douluo Continent novel that explains why Qian Daoliu didn't completely wipe out the Clear Sky Sect: he knew that his son, Qian Xunji, didn't die at Tang Hao's hands, but was killed by his daughter-in-law Bibi Dong, seeking revenge.
Therefore, dealing with the Clear Sky Sect was not his original intention, but merely a means to establish his authority.
Otherwise, if their son dies without an explanation, the Spirit Hall's status will be lower than that of the Clear Sky Sect.
Upon seeing Tang Hao, the five elders all revealed fierce expressions, wishing they could tear him to pieces to vent their hatred.
They all believed that the Clear Sky Sect was entirely due to Tang Hao's actions, including killing the Spirit Hall's Pope, Qian Xunji.
Of course, it would be a lie to say that this matter has nothing to do with Tang Hao.
This incident was also caused by Tang Hao's failure to protect Ah Yin, which led to the current situation.
Bibi Dong suppressed the Clear Sky Sect because the Clear Sky Sect was too powerful. It was the number one sect among the Upper Three Sects the Douluo Continent, and its strength was formidable.
Back then, the Clear Sky Sect was ranked second in strength, the Spirit Hall was first, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was third, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was fourth.
Moreover, the Clear Sky Sect has absorbed Four Single-Attribute Clans, and its influence is expanding across the entire continent.
The saying "a tall tree catches the wind" is not without reason.
If the Spirit Hall hadn't suppressed the Clear Sky Sect a decade or so ago, it would be the Spirit Hall's biggest threat now, after twenty years of development.
Perhaps, with better resources, the Clear Sky Sect can cultivate a few more Titled Douluo, or even absorb one or two, thus increasing the number of Titled Douluo to surpass the number of Elders of the Spirit Hall.
In this case, if the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were to actually fight, the outcome would be uncertain.
"Tang Hao, you're finally back!"
"Why aren't you kneeling down and apologizing?"
"You unfilial son, do you still have the face to return to the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Tang Hao, do you know that you've completely disgraced the Clear Sky Sect?"
Toast toast~
Ahhh~
Suddenly, several screams rang out, and the heads of the Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, and Seventh Elder rolled off their necks and onto the ground.
Tang Hao, holding a large sword in one hand, stood in front of the five men.
Blood was still dripping from the knife onto the ground.
Bang bang bang~
The five corpses fell to the ground one after another, and the entire scene became terrifyingly quiet.
Tang Xiao, Tang Hu, Tang Long, Tang Tiantian, and hundreds of other family members present stared wide-eyed, unable to believe their eyes.
These were the five elders of the Clear Sky Sect, all of whom were Titled Douluo at Level 91 or above, yet they were instantly killed by Tang Hao.
That would require an incredible level of skill.
But what they didn't know was that it wasn't Tang Hao who could do it, but the young man beside him wearing the Dragon King Mask.
As a god, Qian Ye has already used his Divine Power to control Tang Hao. Killing a few minor Titled Douluo would be a piece of cake for him.
"Tang Hao... what are you doing?" Finally, Tang Xiao reacted and shouted at Tang Hao first.
Tang Hao looked at Tang Xiao: "What's wrong? Those five were rude to me, why should I show them mercy? They brought it on themselves, they deserved to die."
"There's something else I think you'd really like to know, brother: what was the real cause of Ah Yin's death?" Tang Hao suddenly grinned maliciously.
Tang Xiao was completely dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. He had originally thought that it was a good thing that his younger brother Tang Hao was coming back.
Unexpectedly, he killed the five elders of the Clear Sky Sect within two minutes of returning.
What should have been a good thing has turned into a tragedy.
After that, the Clear Sky Sect faced even greater difficulties in the Douluo Continent.
"Haozi, wasn't Ah Yin's death the Spirit Hall's fault?"
Haha~
Tang Hao suddenly burst into laughter. "Big brother, big brother, it seems you haven't changed at all, still as adorable as ever. My dear brother, you're so kind."
"Actually, there was no right or wrong in us falling in love with Ah Yin back then. The real mistake was that Ah Yin chose me and gave up on you."
Tang Xiao didn't understand what his younger brother meant, so he just listened patiently.
"Ah Yin ultimately chose me, not you, Big Brother. This is enough to show that Ah Yin likes me, not you. You were just indulging in wishful thinking."
"Are you mocking me?" Tang Xiao's face turned ashen with anger upon hearing this.
Tang Hao shook his head. "No, I just think Ah Yin is so silly and naive, trusting me so much, while I had designs on her. I just broke through to Level 90 when she was pregnant."
"I need a Soul Ring, a powerful Soul Ring, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, that's what I was thinking. But I have a better option, I can't give up. I want a Soul Ring that's extraordinary, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."
"I can't get Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, nor can I absorb it, but I've thought of a shortcut: Sacrifice."
"Sacrifice?!" Tang Xiao suddenly realized something. "You... you mean Ah Yin's death wasn't the Spirit Hall coming to us on their own, but a carefully planned scheme?!"
"A flawless scheme that can both use someone else to do the dirty work and get Ah Yin to Sacrifice her Soul Ring for you?!"
