The Divided Clear Sky Sect
"Did they find a point where I can't prove myself?"
"Quite cunning."
"Unfortunately, it wasn't used in the right place."
"Although I cannot prove it myself, I still want to clarify one point: I was not controlled; whether you believe it or not is none of my business."
"The reason I say that your scheming is misplaced is because you have overlooked the importance of strength: you think I rely on seniority to make others believe in me, but in reality, I rely on strength; in other words, everything you see, including denying my seniority, my identity, and me as a person, in order to better control the Clear Sky Sect, is wrong from the start."
"What you lack is not legitimacy."
"But victory!"
"It's about letting others see, and even participate in, this victory!"
"It is precisely because you lack victories that your prestige cannot compare to mine!"
Tang Chen stroked the Asura God Sword in his hand. The ferocious Asura God Sword, though allowing him to use it, didn't show any acceptance, which saddened him slightly. "Alright, enough of this nonsense... Those of you from the Clear Sky Sect who are willing to believe in me, Tang Chen Tang Chen, stand by my side. Those who aren't, do as you please. For the sake of our years of friendship, I can tell you the truth: I died in a fair and square duel at his hands—at the hands of what you call Ye Qingcang. The competition system for the Asura God Test Taker is extremely cruel. I died, so he is the new Asura God Test Taker. He resurrected me not to recruit you, but because I have a more important task: to take his place and oversee the City of Slaughter... Now, you can make your choice!"
"I'll go with you, Big Brother!" The Third Elder of the Clear Sky Sect was the first to make his choice. With a swift movement, he landed behind Tang Chen. "Second Brother, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, Sixth Elder, and Sect Master, come here... We've all witnessed Big Brother lead the Clear Sky Sect to its peak. The Clear Sky Sect is our life's work, and even more so, Big Brother's. I don't believe Big Brother would squander his hard work. At the very least, we can take any Clear Sky Sect disciples who are willing to come with us to the City of City of Slaughter find work. Ye... Little Brother, my request isn't too much to ask, is it?"
Ye Qingcang is too young.
The youthful appearance seems a bit fake.
He doesn't seem like someone who could defeat Tang Chen.
Of course, Tang Chen wouldn't lie about such a thing, and the Third Elder was certain of that. This left the Third Elder unsure of how to address Ye Qingcang. Calling him "Ye God Trial Taker" would be too formal, as he had never heard of such a title before. Calling him "Ye Qingcang" would be too presumptuous. What was Ye Qingcang's status? What was his position? He was just a minor elder of the Clear Sky Sect. Did he deserve to address Ye Qingcang by his full name?
After thinking it over, I could only address him as "little brother".
Use charlatanism to cover up your rudeness.
The Fourth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect gritted his teeth and landed next to the Third Elder.
At this moment, they are all under considerable pressure, because by choosing to side with Tang Chen and Ye Qingcang, they have essentially made a blood feud with the Poseidon, or at the very least, with the future Poseidon. Not everyone has the courage to be an enemy of Deity.
What gave him the courage was Tang Chen.
Although it was Ye Qingcang who gave Tang Chen the courage.
As a defector, proving one's stance is a basic requirement. Otherwise, if you don't speak up, no one will know whether you're a spy who infiltrated during the chaos or a genuine ally. "Third Brother is right, and I believe in Eldest Brother's choice... To put it another way, Second Brother, you can think about it carefully. Regardless of whether Eldest Brother is controlled by Brother Ye, he has no reason to deceive us. Brother Ye can kill Eldest Brother, and he can kill us too. Giving us a choice is precisely what Eldest Brother fought for!"
"I don't want my siblings to fight each other."
The Sixth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect succinctly stated his opinion.
He leaped and landed behind Tang Chen.
The defection was incredibly smooth.
However, this understanding is based primarily on Tang San's perspective.
If we take Ye Qingcang's perspective as the primary viewpoint.
The Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Sixth Elder all surrendered.
Currently, the Clear Sky Sect has a total of seven elders.
Including Great Elder Tang Chen.
Four elders have already sided with Ye Qingcang.
"Fifth Elder, let's go too..." After careful consideration, the Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect turned to the Fifth Elder, who was stubbornly clinging to his own thoughts, and advised, "I know that you lost your only son in the battle with the Spirit Hall more than ten years ago, but the person who caused all of this was Tang Hao from the very beginning... If Tang Hao hadn't married that 100,000 Year Soul Beast and had children, none of this would have happened. If Tang Hao had taken over as the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, none of this would have happened either. If you still harbor resentment towards the Spirit Hall and are unwilling to go, isn't this also helping Tang Hao?"
"Yes!"
"Fifth brother, you should come over here!"
"Either help Tang Hao."
"Either help the Spirit Hall."
"Moreover, it's not exactly helping the Spirit Hall. From what I understand, Brother Ye and the Spirit Hall have a cooperative relationship and are on equal footing. Not to mention, Brother Ye has the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him. Considering Brother Ye's influence in other industries and the many academies in the Heaven Dou circle, as long as we come, it will be a new alliance of the Three Upper Sects, with Brother Ye as the core. Even if we break with the Spirit Hall, we are not afraid."
"Moreover, it can also avoid conflict."
"If Brother Ye and that Angel God Test Taker can get married, all future troubles will be eliminated. Besides, your elder brother and Qian Daoliu have a pretty good relationship. There's no need for you to go to such extremes!"
The Third Elder of the Clear Sky Sect clearly understood the rift in his cousin's heart. With a single sentence, he cut to the chase, forcefully pulling the Fifth Elder towards Tang Chen and Ye Qingcang, and even tugging at Tang Xiao: "And Sect Master, you need to consider the disciples of the sect!"
"If you have your son's organs."
"Including all body tissues such as nails, skin, teeth, and hair."
"I can resurrect your son, in the form Tang Chen is in now."
"At worst, I can use Alchemy and parts of your body to create a baby with your blood flowing through its veins... However, due to the oath I made before, I still recommend the second method: I will give you a vessel to cultivate the baby, and you can choose a woman who is willing to agree to your request to carry out artificial cultivation."
Ye Qingcang casually delivered the final blow.
Immediately, the Fifth Elder made a choice. "If you can truly do it, I'll give you my life... I have teeth and hair, or more precisely, baby hair, I don't know if that will work... Oh, right, I choose to resurrect my son!"
"Of course." Ye Qingcang shrugged, looking at Tang San and Tang Hao, also demonstrating his ability to the Deity watching. "The trend is inevitable, the will of the people is there, is there any problem?"
