Discussions Among the Powers

"Everyone, I'm sure you've all heard by now. The former sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen, has returned—the legendary first-generation Clear Sky Douluo. Legend says this man once fought Spirit Hall's Grand Worshiper, Qian Daoliu, and even defeated him. The man has returned."

Yu Yuanzhen felt deeply troubled at this moment, because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had never possessed the same foundations as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Clear Sky Sect.

For instance, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had two Titled Douluo, while the Clear Sky Sect had the four single-attribute affiliated clans, as well as the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world. In terms of the combat strength of their sect's Soul Masters, they were inherently superior.

It was not merely a matter of numbers and quality. There were many other factors as well.

Although they currently had only one Titled Douluo, they had many Spirit Douluo too. Meanwhile, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only had one Titled Douluo as well.

If a grand sect competition had been held before Tang Chen returned, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would likely have claimed the title of the world's number one sect, while the Clear Sky Sect would have taken second place.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would still have ranked third.

However, the gap between the three powers would not have been too great. By joining forces, they could still contend against Spirit Hall, so their cooperation would have remained equal. But things were different now. The man who had once fought and defeated Spirit Hall's Grand Worshiper, Qian Daoliu, had returned.

In that case, the alliance among the three sects would no longer be equal. It would become an unequal coercion.

Yu Yuanzhen knew exactly what kind of person Tang Chen was. On the surface, this man was one of the two great pillars of the Soul Master world and was highly respected.

But at his core, he was no good person either. He was someone who would stop at nothing for the Clear Sky Sect and the Tang Family. Otherwise, how did they think the Clear Sky Sect had risen to prominence?

"Big Brother, was this man really that formidable? Why have I never heard about how powerful he was? I don't think this guy was all that impressive."

Yu Luomian could not understand what his elder brother was thinking. So what if the old sect master of the Clear Sky Sect had returned? At most, it meant one more Titled Douluo. The gap in combat strength was not that large, and they needed enough fighting power to deal with Spirit Hall now. Having an old Clear Sky Sect master helping them should have been a good thing.

"My dear little brother, you entered the world rather late. By then, stories about Tang Chen had already stopped circulating much. Soon afterward, he went searching for the legendary path to godhood, so naturally, you never heard his story.

He was the legendary Rank 99 Peerless Douluo. His combat strength was terrifying. I don't know exactly how powerful Rank 99 is, but he must be on the same level as Spirit Hall's Grand Worshiper.

You must understand that Rank 99 Titled Douluo are exceedingly powerful beings. I have never fought one myself, but if Spirit Hall sent several Titled Douluo, they could wipe out our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yet those Titled Douluo would still be like children before a Peerless Douluo. They did not even send out their strongest combat force, which meant that the Clear Sky Sect had gained an exceptionally powerful fighter.

When the time came, cooperation between the Upper Three Sects and the various powers would no longer be equal. Do you understand? We might even become cannon fodder, and we would be forced into it."

"Th-then..." Yu Luomian did not know what to say after hearing his elder brother.

"In any case, we cannot possibly submit to Spirit Hall. If we submit to the Clear Sky Sect, we may still be treated as cannon fodder. Let's remain neutral. We will side with neither of them and let them fight until both sides are badly weakened. It would be best if we could profit from it afterward."

Yu Yuanzhen's thoughts were the same as those of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. They both wanted the other side to fight until both sides were badly weakened, then reap the benefits.

"Then that's settled. Let the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall fight. We'll just cheer from the sidelines and let them risk their lives against Spirit Hall themselves."

Heaven Dou Empire.

"That man has returned. Now we're in serious trouble—really serious trouble. The balance of power among the Upper Three Sects was already uneven, and now this has happened.

That legendary man has returned. This is a huge problem."

Xue Ye was greatly alarmed at this moment. He had never expected the old sect master of the Clear Sky Sect to return.

"It seems we're in serious trouble as well."

Xue Xing shared the same view. Everyone knew that anyone from the older generation had heard tales of this giant of the Soul Master world—a man who had once defeated Qian Daoliu.

"When the forces clash with Spirit Hall, we will certainly become cannon fodder. No matter what, we must work harder and see whether we can find talented people, so that we can secure some benefits for the Heaven Dou Empire.

We can delay things until later. As long as the empire continues to exist, we will eventually have hope of becoming the power that rules the continent..."

Xue Ye was already confused enough to start spouting nonsense. How could that possibly happen? Everyone knew what the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family was like.

The Heaven Dou Empire was nothing more than a group of people who relied on their noble bloodline and thought themselves extraordinary. In truth, they were nothing. When faced with a powerful Soul Master clan, they could be crushed in minutes.

They still dreamed of having a chance to make a comeback someday. How was that possible? They had brought this upon themselves, and there was no hope left for them.

They could only become cannon fodder in the clash between the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall.

"Reporting to my lord, the latest news from the human world is that the sect master of a human sect called the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen, disappeared because he had gone searching for the path to godhood. No one knew where he was, but now he has returned. We do not know what is going on."

"What?!" After hearing this news, the Phoenix King became even more certain, though he was also shocked. He had not expected Tang Chen to be found as well.

It seems there should be a reincarnator. The butterfly effect would not be like this. There must be a transmigrator, or perhaps a reincarnator! Otherwise, none of this makes sense. After all, Tang Chen was in Slaughter City, serving as the King of Slaughter!

If it were truly just the butterfly effect, it should not have affected the Asura God's territory. There was clearly either a reincarnator or a transmigrator.

"There is another piece of news. It is said that the Clear Sky Sect has a mysterious female Limit Douluo. She appears to have blue hair and is extraordinarily beautiful. She carries a strange trident in her hand, perhaps a Martial Soul or something similar. We do not know."

Well, no need to ask. It was definitely Bo Saixi. There must be a reincarnator or transmigrator helping them, and they are on the Tang Family's side.
