Star Dou Uprising! Clear Sky Douluo Returns to Clear Sky Sect!

The Star Dou Great Forest had always been a paradise for soul beasts and a forbidden zone for soul masters.

But now, even this final sanctuary was being violated.

This left the Star Dou Beast King, hidden within, unable to sit still for a moment longer.

"ROAR--!"

Accompanied by a roar that shook the heavens and earth, a black giant ape as massive as a mountain charged out from the core area deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

The beast tide, initiated by the Titan Giant Ape and sweeping across the entire Star Dou Great Forest, began to erupt in full force!

This beast tide swept through almost the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and even surged beyond its natural borders. Many civilians and small soul master teams who made their living on the forest's edge suffered an unprovoked disaster, resulting in heavy casualties.

There is no such thing as an airtight wall.

Although Spirit Hall acted in secret, the upheaval in the Star Dou Great Forest was simply too massive. Spies from the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and various major sects quickly sent the intelligence back to their respective powers.

Heaven Dou City, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect headquarters.

Ning Fengzhi sat behind a large desk, clutching a secret report that had just arrived, his expression so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong's injuries had stabilized, and he was currently sitting in a grand armchair nearby, eyes closed to recuperate.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin was holding his Seven Kill Sword, standing by the window and watching the scenery outside.

"Fengzhi, what is it?"

Sword Douluo sensed Ning Fengzhi's breathing grow rapid and turned to ask.

Ning Fengzhi placed the report on the desk, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"Spirit Hall is on a killing spree in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Sword Douluo frowned. "A killing spree? Haven't they always controlled the number of soul beasts they hunt?"

"This time is different." Ning Fengzhi stood up and paced back and forth in the hall. "The intelligence says they are only drawing blood, not taking soul rings. Furthermore, they are hunting only powerful soul beasts over fifty thousand years old."

Bone Douluo opened his eyes, a trace of confusion flashing across his skeletal face. "Drawing blood? What does that madwoman Bibi Dong want with so much soul beast blood?"

Ning Fengzhi stopped pacing and gave a bitter laugh.

"What else could it be? That girl who returned from Swallowed Star is currently in Spirit City. Bibi Dong must have pried the cultivation method for Spirit Masters out of her."

Ning Fengzhi's gaze turned profound. "The cultivation system of that world emphasizes both the spirit and the physical body; our Douluo Continent's soul masters have relatively weak bodies."

"Bibi Dong must have encountered a cultivation bottleneck and wants to use the essence blood of high-level soul beasts to achieve something."

As these words were spoken, the air in the hall grew heavy.

Sword Douluo's hand tightened around his sword hilt.

"Regardless, Spirit Hall has become increasingly rampant in recent years. If we really let them continue to hunt soul beasts without restraint, once they make a breakthrough, it will be a massive threat to us all."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, his tone exceptionally grave.

"That is exactly the case."

"Moreover, Spirit Masters are truly too terrifying for our Douluo Continent."

"Just imagine, a group of monsters with deep soul power who can also control a dozen flying daggers from a distance to kill—if they were to charge into battle, they would absolutely be a slaughtering legion capable of reaping lives."

The million-strong armies of the two great empires would be nothing more than living targets in the face of such impossible-to-defend flying daggers.

Spirit Hall's strength was already the greatest on the continent, and now that they had obtained such an epoch-making combat method, the balance was about to be completely shattered.

"We cannot wait any longer."

Ning Fengzhi walked to the desk, spread out a sheet of letter paper, and picked up a brush to write rapidly.

"Uncle Sword, I must trouble you to make a personal trip to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Deliver this letter to Emperor Xue Ye and tell him that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to fully support the imperial family; we must make plans as soon as possible."

"Additionally, send someone to the Star Luo Empire to make contact."

"At this moment of life and death, both great empires are indispensable forces. It would be best if our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could secretly form alliances with both."

Although the two great empires were mortal enemies, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could privately ally with both sides.

Sword Douluo took the letter, nodded solemnly, and turned into a streak of sword light that vanished into the horizon.

The cold wind whistled.

Deep within a continuous range of rugged mountains inside the Heaven Dou Empire.

The terrain here was treacherous, surrounded by steep cliffs and precipices, with only a few thick iron chain bridges connecting the isolated peaks on either side of the abyss.

A burly man wearing a tattered black robe was carrying a massive sack on his back, stepping onto the swaying iron chain bridge and walking step by step toward a castle at the highest point of the mountain.

This man was none other than Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao.

And inside the blood-stained sack on his back was Dai Mubai, whose bones had been shattered and who had fallen into a deep coma.

The mountain wind whipped Tang Hao's black robe, making it snap loudly.

He looked up at the familiar yet strange giant stone castle ahead, where a massive hammer pattern was carved onto the main gate.

That was the stronghold of the Clear Sky Sect.

Many years had passed since he was forced to leave the sect.

Two young disciples guarding the gate saw a stranger radiating a murderous aura approaching, so they immediately summoned their Clear Sky Hammers and vigilantly blocked his path.

"Halt! The Clear Sky Sect has sealed its mountains; no outsiders are allowed to approach!"

Tang Hao stopped in his tracks. He did not get angry, but simply pulled down the black hood covering his head, revealing a face covered in stubble and weathered by time.

"Go report to your Sect Master. Tell him that Tang Hao has returned."

Upon hearing that name, the two young disciples were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened so much that they nearly dropped the hammers in their hands.

Tang Hao!

The peerless powerhouse who, according to legend, had single-handedly dealt a heavy blow to the former Pope of the Spirit Hall!

Not long after, the heavy gates of the stone fortress slowly swung open to both sides with a dull, rumbling sound.

A middle-aged man, even taller and broader than Tang Hao with long, graying hair, strode out from within.

His features bore a slight resemblance to Tang Hao's, though they carried the added weight of authority and the weariness of one who had long held a high position.

The current Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, Howling Sky Douluo Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao looked at Tang Hao standing outside the gate, and his eyes instantly turned red.

His face, usually set in a stern expression, twitched slightly, and his lips trembled for a long time before he finally managed to spit out two words.

"Haozi..."

Tang Hao's eyes also grew hot.

He set down the burlap sack from his back, took two steps forward, bent his knees, and knelt directly onto the cold stone floor.

"Big Brother, I have returned."

Tang Xiao stepped forward quickly, grabbed Tang Hao by the shoulders, pulled him up with force, and pulled him into a fierce embrace.

"It is good that you are back, it is good that you are back!"

The two brothers poured their hearts out to each other outside the gate for quite some time before Tang Xiao finally noticed the sack on the ground that was still seeping blood.

"What is this?" Tang Xiao asked, frowning.

There was an extremely violent and chaotic life force emanating from the sack; it did not feel human, but rather like that of a vicious beast.

Tang Hao kicked the sack and explained, "This is Dai Mubai, the Star Luo prince who returned alive from the Swallowed Star world."

"But he can no longer be considered human. That world used him as a test subject, injecting him with all sorts of monster genes, turning him into a half-man, half-beast monster."
