The Clear Sky Sect was truly at the height of its power. The Clear Sky Hammer was known as the number one tool-type Martial Soul in the world, and the sect itself was the number one sect in the world!

Its direct disciples nearly numbered a thousand, and it had four major Single Attribute Sects under its command. The previous sect master had even been a level ninety-nine limit Douluo, hailed as invincible on land!

Therefore, any disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, even when training abroad, carried themselves as if heaven came first and they came second.

What was more, they were now accompanying their own sect master, so their attitude naturally became even more arrogant, displaying the prestige of the Clear Sky Sect!

The Clear Sky Sect disciples rudely cleared away the nobles blocking their path and headed toward Dugu Bo and Yu Yuanzhen.

Dugu Yan happened to catch sight of this. Frowning, she said, "Brother, how can these people from the Clear Sky Sect be so overbearing and crude? Just because they're the number one sect in the world?!"

"With the title of the number one sect in the world, how could they not be arrogant? But prosperity inevitably declines. Let's just watch." Dugu Yao gently stroked Dugu Yan's head and smiled, unconcerned.

The Clear Sky Sect currently possessed two number one titles and was flourishing for a time. Even its four subordinate sects took pride in the Clear Sky Sect!

But once Tang Hao's affair was exposed two years later, Spirit Hall would shatter the Clear Sky Sect's dream of being number one with three blows, killing its nearly thousand direct disciples.

Less than half would remain alive. Then, like an army collapsing after defeat, they would have no choice but to lead their surviving direct disciples away from the sect and go into seclusion.

They would abandon the four major Single Attribute Sects in order to save themselves!

From then on, they would never recover. If not for Tang San, even when Spirit Hall later unified the continent and destroyed the two great empires, the Clear Sky Sect likely would not have dared show itself!

"Sect Master Tang, it has been several years. Has your health been well?" Upon seeing Tang Wei arrive, Dugu Bo immediately rose to greet him, a faint smile on his face.

"Our sect master has always been in good health. What does that have to do with you?!" Before Tang Wei could speak, one of the direct disciples behind him could not help speaking first, showing no concern whatsoever for Dugu Bo's status as a Titled Douluo!

Dugu Bo's face instantly turned frosty. His emerald eyes fixed fiercely upon the ill-mannered junior, and the atmosphere immediately dropped to freezing point!

"Sect Master Tang, has the Clear Sky Sect grown so powerful that any random sect disciple can insult a Titled Douluo?!"

"Shut up! Do not be disrespectful!" Tang Wei rebuked coldly, then clasped his hands toward Dugu Bo with an apologetic smile. "Brother Dugu, the younger members of my family lack discipline. I hope Brother Dugu will not take it to heart!"

Though the Clear Sky Sect was flourishing at the moment, how could he, as sect master, not know the truth?

The previous sect master—his father, that level ninety-nine limit Douluo, the Titled Douluo hailed as invincible on land—had left the Clear Sky Sect in search of that elusive method of becoming a god.

He had yet to return, and there had not even been any news from him. The enormous Clear Sky Sect rested entirely on Tang Wei's shoulders. Though he was a Titled Douluo, his health was worsening by the day.

Although the Clear Sky Sect had worthy successors, known as the Clear Sky Twin Stars, and both his sons could become Titled Douluo, even if he died of illness, the Clear Sky Sect's glory would not fade because of it!

Unfortunately, while both his sons were talented, they would likely still need some time before becoming Titled Douluo.

Offending a newly advanced Titled Douluo—one he wished to win over—would not be a wise choice!

"The Upper Three Sects' Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, has arrived!" A voice rang out. A handsome young man in a moon-white robe strolled inside, seven-colored halos flowing across his hem. His bearing was extraordinary as he approached.

At his side stood Sword Douluo Chen Xin, one of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two guardian elders. His silver hair was tied high, his expression calm, and his sharp gaze was like an unparalleled treasured sword!

"Congratulations, Senior Dugu, on breaking through your bottleneck and advancing to the realm of Titled Douluo. Today, my sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, will cover all expenses!" Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, clasping his hands toward Dugu Bo.

There was nothing improper about calling Dugu Bo Senior. After all, Dugu Bo truly was his senior, a figure from his father's generation; Dugu Bo simply had not been particularly outstanding!

Besides, this offer to pay was not made without purpose. This was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's own property anyway. Gaining Dugu Bo's favor through it was a guaranteed profit with no loss!

"I had long heard that Sect Master Ning possesses extraordinary bearing and an imposing presence. Now that I have seen you, you truly are exceptional!" Dugu Bo said with a smile. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Ning Fengzhi, they waited until Prince Xue Xing arrived, and the banquet officially began.

"Old Poison, Old Poison, we've known each other for so long. We're friends too, aren't we? How could you not invite us to come congratulate you? Honestly~"

As the voice fell, loud and forceful, chrysanthemums immediately drifted down from the sky. Their petals glowed with molten gold radiance. The doors suddenly flew open on their own, and two figures appeared in the banquet hall!

They were none other than two elders of Spirit Hall.

Ju Yueguan wore a golden robe embroidered with chrysanthemums, idly playing with a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his hand. Purple-gold eyeshadow swept up at the corners of his eyes, making it impossible to tell whether he was male or female!

Beside him stood Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, dressed in a black robe that seemed to conceal him completely. Pale fingers protruded from his sleeves as his indifferent gaze rested on the three sect masters of the Upper Three Sects before him!

"Ju Huaguan!" Dugu Bo abruptly rose to his feet, saying in shock. Why had this fellow come here?

Ning Fengzhi's calm gaze swept over Ju Yueguan and Gui Mei. "Spirit Hall's Heng Ha Two Generals. Why have they come? They may have hostile intentions."

Everyone was puzzled by Ju Yueguan and Gui Mei's arrival. Could they really be here merely to attend Dugu Bo's celebration banquet? Probably not!

These two were the Pope of Spirit Hall's loyal lapdogs. Every time they appeared, misfortune followed. This time would likely be no exception!

But there were four Titled Douluo here, as well as the sect masters of the Upper Three Sects. Even if Spirit Hall wanted to cause trouble, they should weigh their options first!

"Ju Huaguan, what are you doing here? I don't seem to have sent you an invitation. Showing up uninvited is not very polite. I'm afraid you have hostile intentions!" Dugu Bo stared coldly at the two of them.

"Oh my~ Old friend, how could you think of us that way? Can't we simply be here to attend your celebration banquet?" Ju Yueguan curled his lips into a smile as he played with the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his hand.

"Yueguan, get to the point. Talk business!" Gui Mei urged from beside him. They had not come merely to attend Dugu Bo's banquet. They had come with a mission and could not waste time here!
