With the Clear Sky Sect Chief Elder Token Here, All Members of the Clear Sky Sect
"Nonsense!"
"A wolf's ambition, an eagle's gaze and a wolf's look... How many idioms condemn the cruelty and God of Evil of wolves, yet you here sing the praises of the wolf's justice, attempting to distort the truth? Do you think only you are the wolf king, and everyone else should be subordinate to you?"
"The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is a natural law... This statement is utterly absurd. While strength is important, a person's moral character is even more crucial. A person without virtue, even with great strength, will ultimately be defeated by righteous morality and by the prevailing trend!"
After successfully turning his face a deep purplish-red, Tang San finally found his point of attack and sounded the horn of retaliation, "Everything you said before was misleading others. I don't need you to back down, because your so-called retreat is actually a way of showing how virtuous you are, using the emphasis on light to highlight the darkness. But you've forgotten that everyone's eyes are sharp. No matter how magnanimous you are, Ye Qingcang, as long as your theory exists, the world will never have true peace. True peace can only be achieved through understanding between people, something you, in your dog-eat-dog world, cannot comprehend. Therefore, your evasive answer is meaningless. Will you reveal the purpose of your trip in front of everyone?"
"Alright, as you say..." Ye Qingcang's calm demeanor contrasted sharply with Tang San's agitation. He fiddled with his Nine Sons of the Dragon bracelet, his every word and action brimming with a strange, manipulative power. "If peace requires understanding between people, then tell me, why can't you understand me?"
As he spoke, Ye Qingcang pointed to himself.
A fatal blow, with no solution. He countered Tang San's question, "If you could understand me, you wouldn't have wrongly accused me of being a thief; if you could understand me, you wouldn't have shown such hatred; if you could understand me, you wouldn't have argued with me, much less come up with this contradictory theory!"
Some people might think he didn't need to waste his breath talking to Tang San.
Since we have the strength to sweep the competition, let's choose to sweep the competition.
He was decisive and ruthless, and he could also shut Tang San up completely.
But this approach is undoubtedly wrong.
The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans; the next best is to disrupt their alliances; the next best is to attack their army; and the last best is to besiege their cities.
In front of all the members of the Four Element Families, Tang San took the initiative to mock them. If he had made a move then, it would have made him seem petty. Although he could have killed everyone here, what was his purpose in coming here?
He's here to reclaim the Four Element Families!
We're not here to kill!
Then, when the verbal battle begins, if Bai Chenxiang wants to take action, he will appear to be at a loss for words. This leads to a formula: taking action ≈ being at a loss for words ≈ villain!
Is he the villain?
No!
Why would he attack Tang San when he was already able to talk Tang San out?
This is not a battlefield!
On the battlefield, there's really no need for nonsense!
It's either you or me, it's that simple!
But now, they're trying to persuade us to surrender!
Therefore, if he still wants to persuade Tang San to surrender, he must attack Tang San's righteous shell, and make everyone understand that following Tang San will not only not bring wealth and honor, but will also leave a bad name for eternity. Only in this way can Tang San's roots be severed!
Just like his quest for the Asura God Position!
To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots; that's the key!
Therefore, after delivering the fatal blow to Tang San, to prevent Tang San from ever surfacing again, Ye Qingcang added fuel to the fire with Tang San's already tarnished history, "Tang San, you don't need to use such suggestive language, like: everyone else should submit to me, the Wolf King, everyone's eyes are discerning, the world will never be at peace... First, let me state one thing: I have never said these things, nor have I ever thought of them; second, you are right about one thing, the peace you speak of is indeed something I cannot understand, the best proof being you and me. You cannot convince me with your logic of mutual understanding, so your logic must be based on the survival of the fittest; finally, we both know our respective purposes for coming here. I have never intended to downplay it; I dare to state my purpose publicly, so do you dare to follow suit?"
Faced with Ye Qingcang's question.
Tang San hesitated for a moment.
A complex and ever-changing mind:
Should I answer?
"Answer first, or you might fall for his provocation."
"If I tell the truth, he can just make up some excuse, and everyone will see my little scheme to recall the Four Element Families. Compared to him, a thief who doesn't seem to have such intentions on the surface, I, who harbor such thoughts, will definitely be disliked by everyone."
"If I'm not honest and he's honest, the four- Four Element Families Four Element Families might even turn around and throw themselves into his arms. Because to them, if I publicly admit that I don't have those kinds of thoughts, they will undoubtedly gain more initiative and recruit me openly... Even if I change my mind at the last minute, it will only make me lose more points. After all, I already said that I would answer honestly. Changing my mind at the last minute will only make the Four Element Families more disgusted and less likely to choose me."
"Not answering means I dare not."
"In front of the Four Element Families, every impression is crucial. This is not Soul Arena; we can't settle things by killing each other. We must convince the Four Element Families before these people will submit."
"But... what if it's a question asked in return?"
"Let him speak first, and see what he has to say?"
"No, no, this method of avoiding the enemy's sharp edge is too cowardly. This damn bastard attacked me head-on in front of everyone. If I take a step back, everyone will think I'm a coward. Moreover, even if I take a step back, it will only make this bastard take advantage of me. I won't get a chance to catch my breath and adjust."
And this is the difference between Tang San and Ye Qingcang.
One is hesitant and indecisive among many choices.
One who can give opponents choices, and even if all those choices were piled up on Ye Qingcang, Ye Qingcang would dare to answer frankly.
Because he has the strength to be fearless.
Those who are willing to submit to him will not change their minds because of a frank answer; those who are unwilling to submit to him can be killed without hesitation.
A tower is built from grains of sand. The most important thing is the sand, and the least important thing is also the sand. He will not be saddened by the departure of a single grain of sand, but he will definitely pay attention to the chain reaction caused by the departure of that single grain of sand.
According to the characters' personalities in the original work.
The current situation, which has gone astray, serves as a model.
under...
"As expected..." As the massive Clear Sky Hammer, accompanied by a white shockwave, flew out from the hall behind Tang San and crashed towards Ye Qingcang, Ye Qingcang's palm, seemingly out of nowhere, pressed down on the oncoming hammer. From extreme motion to extreme stillness, the exploding white shockwave roared like a giant dragon, but was firmly suppressed by five white, towering jade pillars. The sound of the sound barrier shattering was extremely jarring, but Ye Qingcang's distinctive youthful voice still clearly reached everyone's ears, without even a hint of panic in his tone. "Tang Hao, you really couldn't sit still. If the young ones aren't good enough, you replace them with the old ones. If the old ones aren't good enough, you replace them with even older ones. Compared to your ancestors, you, this descendant, are ugly beyond belief and stupid beyond belief... You think you're helping him, but you're actually harming him. Your actions prove the correctness of the law of the jungle, because you think you're stronger than me, that's why you disdain to understand me."
The floor tiles under Ye Qingcang's feet were not damaged.
There wasn't even a crack.
With one hand pressed against the surface of the Clear Sky Hammer, his breathing was even and unpredictable, but everyone could feel the surrounding buildings shaking unnaturally, and even the ground seemed to tremble.
"What a brilliant technique for releasing force!"
Bai He, who was standing next to Ye Qingcang and Bai Chenxiang, saw everything that had just happened. It was precisely because he saw everything that he felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but blurt out his admiration.
Yang Wudi's eyes suddenly lit up.
As the most powerful among the Four Element Families.
His combat skills far surpassed those of the other three clan leaders.
Amidst the shock, he concluded, "Transferring all the impact of that hammer blow into the ground not only protected his body but also kept the ground completely intact... It's simply incredible!"
A qualified commentator.
They always manage to praise you at crucial moments.
Although Ye Qingcang didn't need it.
"Boy, that's enough!" Tang Hao's figure suddenly appeared at the doorway, along with two other elderly men who appeared instantly. A total of twenty-seven Soul Ring slowly rose, nine for each man, indicating that all three were Title Douluo. This caused everyone present who was unaware of the situation to gasp in shock, including Bai Chenxiang: "Whether Xiao San did right or wrong should be judged by my Clear Sky Sect. Moreover, since you just mentioned the difference between the two worlds, that the history books of the other world cannot represent the history of this world, then Xiao San's mistakes should also be denied. Perhaps Xiao San did make mistakes, but those mistakes were made by Xiao San from the other world. For the sake of your status as God Trial Taker, leave quickly; otherwise, I don't mind killing you!"
I understand how you feel.
"I've heard about the Tang family's ways."
"But I really don't like how you address me."
"What did you just call me?"
"Kid?"
Ye Qingcang touched his wristband, took out a hammer-shaped flat token, and slowly raised it under Tang Hao's astonished gaze. "The Chief Elder Token of the Clear Sky Sect is here. All members of the Clear Sky Sect, kneel down!"
"You... you... how did this Chief Elder Token end up in your hands?" The Third Elder of the Clear Sky Sect immediately knelt down—physically kneeling—on one knee, saying, "This humble one pays respects to the Chief Elder!"
"Greetings, Chief Elder!" The Fourth Elder, dispatched by Tang Xiao, also knelt. Not for any other reason than that they were all core members of the sect cultivated by Tang Chen himself. Over 99% of the Clear Sky Sect's prestige was built by Tang Chen, one blow at a time. These nephews, nieces, and cousins, all titled Douluo, had witnessed the Clear Sky Sect's decline rise to its peak under Tang Chen's leadership. Their trust in Tang Chen made them instinctively willing to believe this Chief Elder Token: "May I ask about the previous sect master and former Chief Elder of our Clear Sky Sect... would you be willing to tell us?"
"Third Elder, Fourth Elder, you..." Tang San's eyes twitched slightly, his gaze filled with disbelief. "You are all..."
"Insolence!" The Third Elder knelt on one knee. Even though Tang San was a God Trial Taker in history books, and even though Tang San was the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, in front of the chief elder who could depose the sect leader with a single word, arbitrarily mobilize the Clear Sky Sect's elders, and unconditionally demand that the Clear Sky Sect do anything, Tang San had to kneel down and loudly rebuked him. "Although I don't know what's going on, he has the Chief Elder Token of my Clear Sky Sect, so he is the chief elder of my Clear Sky Sect. Even if you are the Young Sect Master, you must kneel on one knee and obey orders. We'll talk about the specifics later!"
"That's right, propriety cannot be disregarded." The Fourth Elder continued from the Third Elder's words, adding, "Tang San, out of consideration for you being the Young Sect Master of my Clear Sky Sect, I'll let it go this time for your unknowing offense. But now that you know, if you do it again, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"
"Bullshit!" Tang San snapped. They were on equal footing just moments ago, but now, not only could he not win the argument, he was being forced to kneel before this thief. "Impossible... Besides, the Chief Elder Token he has might be fake. How could the Chief Elder Token of my Clear Sky Sect be in his hands? He might have stolen it from someone else!"
Tang San was desperate and grasping at straws.
The Third Elder and the Fourth Elder looked at Tang San as if he were an idiot.
Rob?
Do you know who the last person to own it was?
Tang Chen, a level 99 Limit Douluo!
Tang Chen, who earned the title of "Invincible on Land"!
If this Chief Elder Token was truly snatched by Ye Qingcang from Tang Chen, then kneeling in obedience is the right thing to do. Even with Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, the two Title Douluo, combined, the Clear Sky Sect today couldn't defeat Tang Chen back then. He holds the Chief Elder Token; killing us would be pointless. Tang Chen, as the one who single-handedly brought the Clear Sky Sect to its peak, has undeniable influence. Even if he said there were mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, and asked the Clear Sky Sect disciples to pave the way for him with their own bodies, a large number of the Clear Sky Sect disciples would willingly step forward. Dying would be truly pointless!
Not to mention, the material of this token is ordinary!
Although it was forged from deep-sea cold iron, it could be crushed with a single grab by a Title Douluo. If Tang Chen did not give it to him voluntarily, it could only mean that Ye Qingcang could beat Tang Chen so badly that he wouldn't even have a chance to crush the token. The Clear Sky Sect can gamble on the future, but they will not stubbornly bang their heads against a wall on a path that is sure to lead to their demise!
You won't kneel?
Then you can just wait to be expelled from the Clear Sky Sect!
Don't even think about expelling Tang Chen, because your father is Tang Hao, Tang Hao's father is Tang Chen's son. Tang Chen is your great-grandfather. If you expel Tang Chen, all of you descendants will also be expelled from the family and removed from the family tree. The result is the same!
"Kneel!"
Ye Qingcang shook the token in his hand.
Although Tang Chen gave this thing to him not so that he would use it this way, but rather wanted him to subdue the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect and make it his ally. In this way, if he could marry a female Soul Master from the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Sect could stand for ten thousand years like the Spirit Hall, and could also be considered a descendant of the Deity left in the human world. However, Tang Chen did not interfere with or instruct him on how to use it.
In other words, Tang Chen handed this thing over to him.
He can use it however he likes.
He knew Tang Chen's little secret.
But it's true that Tang Chen didn't tell him.
The main point is that the former God Trial Taker will not interfere with the current God Trial Taker. The former God Trial Taker is dead, so the spoils should belong to the current God Trial Taker. At most, the former God Trial Taker, who Edo Tensei, explained the value of the item, not wanting the current God Trial Taker to waste it, and even less wanting him to treat it as scrap.
This is also why he didn't kill the Clear Sky Sect, but only used the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect as bait, as a prison, and to test the Clear Sky Sect's attitude.
He was fishing, but he was fishing for Poseidon Tang San.
The cage imprisoned Tang Hao and Tang San.
He was testing the waters because he didn't need someone who was indecisive.
In particular, he was unsure whether the Clear Sky Sect would still recognize this Chief Elder Token. Although they did recognize it now, it didn't mean that Poseidon Tang San Clear Sky Sect from another world, would still acknowledge his status and position if he held the same Chief Elder Token.
