"Old Ancestor..."

Tang Xing grew anxious seeing Tang Chen set off to seek revenge against Spirit Hall.

He wanted to give chase, but he could not keep up, forced to watch helplessly as Tang Chen departed.

With no other choice, he reached into his robes, pulled out a stone, and crushed it.

This was a Space-Breaking Stone, a truly miraculous soul tool.

It came in a pair, a child and a mother stone; as long as the child stone was crushed, it could transmit a signal to the mother stone over a vast distance.

Far away in the Heaven Dou Empire, at the hidden retreat of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao was in the midst of cultivation when he suddenly sensed a disturbance from the Space-Breaking Stone and excitedly pulled it out.

The Space-Breaking Stone glowed, signaling that his grandfather had sent a message.

"Sect Master, the Old Ancestor has returned."

"But after hearing about the hardships our Clear Sky Sect has endured these past few years, he went straight to slaughter his way to Spirit Hall!"

Tang Xing reported in a panic, more anxious than anyone.

"Sigh, Grandfather is truly the same; his stubborn temper has flared up again."

"I am aware of this matter. You must return to the sect immediately."

"From this day forward, there is no need to keep anyone stationed here!"

Tang Xiao sighed, put away the Space-Breaking Stone, and immediately convened a sect assembly, striking the bronze bell nine times.

Upon hearing the nine tolls, the expressions of everyone in the sect shifted abruptly as they gathered toward the main hall.

The five great elders, who had been in seclusion, also ended their cultivation and rushed over in a flurry.

In the Clear Sky Sect, there was a specific meaning behind the tolling of the bronze bell.

Striking it nine times in succession meant that the Clear Sky Sect was facing a life-or-death crisis.

In the last hundred years, it had only been struck nine times when Qian Daoliu led his forces to their doorstep.

Now, the bronze bell had rung nine times once again.

Could it be that Spirit Hall had come to attack?

At this thought, the entire sect was gripped by fear and anxiety.

The Seventh Elder, Tang Lie, possessed the most explosive temper; no sooner had he entered the hall than he couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master, what has happened? Surely Spirit Hall hasn't found this place and sent people to wipe us out?"

"Indeed, Sect Master, tell us quickly!"

"At worst, we shall fight Spirit Hall to the death."

The other elders were equally anxious, itching to engage in a life-or-death struggle with Spirit Hall right then and there.

They had been in hiding for over a decade and had long since broken through to the Title Douluo realm, desperate for a chance to clash with Spirit Hall.

"Do not be anxious. It is not that Spirit Hall has come to our doorstep, but that my grandfather, Tang Chen, has returned."

Tang Xiao spoke slowly, struggling to suppress the joy in his heart.

"What?"

"The Chief Elder has returned?"

"This is truly wonderful!"

"Our Clear Sky Sect can finally stop swallowing its pride!"

Tang Lie jumped for joy, his eyes filled with longing.

The other elders and the second and third-generation direct disciples present in the hall were equally overjoyed.

Their Clear Sky Sect had suffered grievances for over a decade!

Now, they had finally seen the dawn of a new day.

"Do not be too quick to celebrate!"

"Although Grandfather has returned, upon hearing of our sect's experiences over these years, he went alone to slaughter his way to Spirit Hall."

"You all know full well what kind of strength Spirit Hall possesses."

"I fear Grandfather will suffer if he goes alone."

"Therefore, This Seat has decided: we shall lead all experts of the sect at the Soul Emperor level or higher and rush to Spirit Hall immediately to bolster Grandfather's momentum and raise the name of our Clear Sky!"

Tang Xiao stood up, his face filled with resolve.

The Clear Sky Sect had endured humiliation for so many years for the sake of this very day.

Spirit Hall was not too far from the Clear Sky Sect; he and the five elders could reach it in half a day at full flight.

As long as the six of them—all Title Douluos—arrived safely, even Spirit Hall would not dare to swarm them, despite their numbers.

In their minds, aside from Qian Daoliu, Spirit Hall only possessed three Title Douluos: Pope Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo.

Even if Spirit Hall had hidden the true number of their Title Douluos, there could be no more than ten.

With the overwhelming might of their Clear Sky Hammers, they were more than capable of handling the situation.

As for the others, they would rush over at top speed and were guaranteed to arrive within a day.

"We shall obey the Sect Master's every command!"

The five elders raised their hands in agreement without a moment's hesitation.

They were now impatient to clash with Spirit Hall and uphold the prestige of the Clear Sky.

"Good!"

"Clear Sky Sect, hear my order: summon all disciples at the Spirit Emperor level or higher and head to Spirit City immediately. There shall be no delays!"

"The rest of you, descend the mountain at once and proclaim the joyous news of our Chief Elder's return and the Clear Sky Sect's re-emergence to the world!"

After Tang Xiao channeled his soul power to broadcast his orders to the entire sect, he and the five elders took flight.

Everyone in the Clear Sky Sect at the Spirit Emperor level or above gathered in an orderly fashion outside the main hall and raced toward Spirit City at breakneck speed.

Everywhere the Clear Sky Sect passed, they caused a sensation.

The Clear Sky Sect, having lived in seclusion for over a decade, had mobilized in full force.

Judging by the direction, they were heading for Spirit City.

Could the Clear Sky Sect be planning to attack Spirit Hall?

Upon receiving this intelligence, people hurriedly relayed the news back to their respective factions.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect were the quickest to react, immediately dispatching scouts to gather information.

Upon learning of Tang Chen's return and the Clear Sky Sect's march on Spirit Hall, both great sects sent their powerhouses toward Spirit City.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was led by Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect was led by Yu Yuanzhen, both bringing all their experts at the Spirit Emperor level and above to provide support.

In an instant, all the major powers of Douluo Continent were set in motion.

The Heaven Dou Empire remained the most composed, maintaining a purely spectator attitude.

In contrast, the Star Luo Empire had already mobilized one hundred thousand soldiers, rushing toward Spirit City at top speed to bolster the Clear Sky Sect.

The tense situation made the world almost forget about the Sky Screen's golden rankings.

At this moment, the Scumbag Ranking had updated with two new names.

They were Dai Davis at TOP 8 and Xue Beng at TOP 9 of the Scumbag Ranking!

"Qian Daoliu, get your ass out here!"

Tang Chen arrived outside Spirit City, clutching his Clear Sky Hammer, and let out a thunderous roar.

Eight black and one red soul ring hovered and descended, manifesting his immense power.

Everyone in Spirit City who heard the roar looked on with disdain.

They wondered what kind of fool would dare run wild in Spirit City and address the Great Elder of Spirit Hall by his name.

He was practically delivering his own head!

Did he not know that Spirit City was the stronghold of Spirit Hall, filled with countless experts, and that no matter how many people came, it was impossible to conquer?

Just as everyone assumed a fool had come to cause trouble and prepared to watch the show, Tang Chen's soul ring configuration and the terrifying aura of his soul power completely silenced them.

Eight black and one red—what kind of configuration was this?

It was something never seen or heard of before!

"Dad, who is this? His cultivation is so formidable; no wonder he dares to challenge them!"

"Do you think Qian Daoliu can beat him?"

"Ugh, look at me asking you. You're just an ordinary person, what could you possibly understand!"

"I think Qian Daoliu is still stronger."

"He is the Great Elder of Spirit Hall, a rare Limit Douluo in this world, and he has been famous for over a hundred years."

"Even if this man's soul ring configuration is shocking, he shouldn't be a match for Qian Daoliu."

Wang Yuyan was stunned by Tang Chen's strength and wanted to find someone to discuss the outcome.

But then she remembered that her father only knew how to drink and chase women; he wouldn't know anything, so what could he possibly guess?

She simply stated the most plausible answer in her mind.

"Not necessarily. It depends on what methods he has."

"If he lacks any exceptionally powerful techniques, Qian Daoliu will definitely win!"

Duan Changsheng saw through Tang Chen's cultivation at a glance and guessed his identity.

If he hadn't instructed Qian Daoliu on his techniques, Tang Chen would certainly win.

But things were different now; Qian Daoliu had mastered his techniques correctly, so defeating the current Tang Chen would not be difficult.

It all depended on what trump cards Tang Chen truly held.
