A Tang Sect in Another World! The Strength Clan!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I was crouching in the corner of the eaves when the sparrows were startled into flight.
"Who is it?" a gruff voice came from inside the door.
Squeak--
The door was opened.
Tang San raised his right hand.
The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul materialized.
Lightning crackled across the hammer's body, making it particularly striking in the night.
The eyes peeking out from the crack in the door suddenly widened!
"Quickly! Inform the clan leader! Members of the Clear Sky Sect have arrived!!"
In a short while, the once quiet courtyard was lit up.
The torches crackled as a dozen figures emerged from the courtyard.
The leader was a burly man with white hair and beard, but his eyes shone with a sharp light.
The middle-aged man following behind him was also broad-shouldered and burly.
Tang San recognized the young man further behind him at a glance.
Tailong!
The boy who followed him in the competition back then is now much more composed, with a sharper edge in his eyes.
"What is your purpose in visiting so late at night and brandishing the Clear Sky Hammer?" Tai Tan asked in a deep voice.
Tang San slowly raised his hand and pulled down his hood.
The torchlight illuminated his face, revealing it to be pale, thin, and with a gloomy expression.
In an instant, Tai Tan's mind trembled violently!
"Young Master?!"
Tailong took two steps forward, his voice trembling, "Young Master! You're not dead?!"
"My life isn't meant to end here," Tang San sneered. "No matter how cunning Ye Hua is, he can't take my life."
Tailong's eyes felt hot.
The two haven't seen each other since the Soul Master Tournament.
"This isn't the place to talk," Tailong whispered. "Come with me."
Tai Tan led Tang San to the inner courtyard and noticed a silent, dark figure behind Tang San.
The figure was also wrapped in a black robe, with the brim of the hat pulled down very low, obscuring the face.
"Young Master, who is this?" Tai Tan asked hesitantly.
Tang San turned to the side and gently raised his hand.
The Corpse Puppet slowly pulled down its hood.
The Fourth Elder's face was exposed in the firelight.
"The Fourth Elder?!" Tai Tan exclaimed in disbelief.
The air suddenly became heavy.
Taino frowned, staring at the Corpse Puppet, and lowered his voice, "Father, why is the Fourth Elder here?"
Tang San noticed their doubts and calmly manipulated the Corpse Puppet to bow.
"Tai Tan, it's been a long time."
His voice was dry and devoid of emotion.
Tai Tan forced a smile. "Fourth Elder, you're too kind."
"I wonder what brings you here with the young master so late at night? What are your orders?"
The Corpse Puppet stared at Tai Tan, its tone leaving no room for doubt, "From this day forward, the Strength Clan will be at Tang San's command."
"This is the final order from the Clear Sky Sect."
Taino's expression changed drastically.
Just as he was about to speak, Tai Tan stopped him.
The old patriarch used tremendous force, Taino, in pain, swallowed his words.
The Fourth Elder's strength is undeniable, and the Clear Sky Sect's prestige remains.
Even amidst the swirling suspicions, Tai Tan still gave them ample face.
"Young Master, is the Fourth Elder unwell?"
"Why does he walk like this...?"
Tang San remained expressionless. "My old injury has recurred, making it difficult for me to move around."
"It's alright, he's fine with me here."
Tai Tan nodded and invited Tang San to take a seat.
They already knew that the Clear Sky Sect had suffered heavy losses on the day of the re-election of the Seven Great Sects.
Rumors were circulating that Tang San had kidnapped the Fourth Elder and defected, but he refused to believe it.
Now that we've seen the Fourth Elder, those rumors are probably just the Spirit Hall trying to smear Tang San!
Tai Tan slammed his hand on the armrest. "Spirit Hall! This is outrageous!"
"Young Master, you have been wronged!"
Seeing that Tang San had captured the right emotions, he abruptly changed the subject, "Senior Tai Tan, I have something else to discuss with you tonight."
"Young Master, please speak."
Tang San looked at the Fourth Elder, the Corpse Puppet.
"Oh," Tai Tan understood, "Taino, take the Fourth Elder to rest."
After the Corpse Puppet had gone far away, Tang San continued, "I want to establish a new sect and create a new school."
The hall was completely silent.
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other in bewilderment.
Tang San stood up and paced back and forth. "The Clear Sky Sect is now only a name, and I cannot remain a dependent forever."
"I possess original Hidden Weapon techniques, unique martial arts methods, and something that can overturn the understanding of the Soul Master World."
He turned and looked directly at Tai Tan. "I need a foundation, and people I can trust!"
"The Strength Clan is the only thing I can entrust to them!"
Tai Tan looked down at the tea leaves floating in the teacup, rubbed the rim of the cup, and remained silent for a long time.
The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; even the flickering of the candlelight was exceptionally clear.
Tang San felt uneasy.
Just as he was preparing to add more fuel to the fire—
"Young Master," Tai Tan suddenly looked up, "I have a question for you."
"You said."
"Will the Tang Sect be merged into the Clear Sky Sect?"
Tang San was stunned, then replied decisively, "No way!"
"The Tang Sect stands alone in the world, unhindered by any other sect!"
"The Clear Sky Sect is the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Sect is the Tang Sect!"
Tai Tan stared intently at him, but Tang San didn't flinch and met the attack head-on.
After a few breaths, Tai Tan's tense emotions suddenly relaxed.
He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Tang San.
"Tai Tan, the patriarch of the Strength Clan, is willing to lead his entire clan to follow the young master!"
Tailong quickly bowed as well, "Greetings, Sect Master!"
Tang San Tang San helped him up, saying, "I am deeply grateful for Tai Tan's help!"
"I guarantee that the Tang Sect will never mistreat any of its brothers!"
"Senior Tai Tan is the chief Elder of the Tang Sect!"
"You flatter me, Master," Tai Tan took a deep breath. "When our old master was alive, we followed him."
"Now that our old master has passed away and the Clear Sky Sect has retired, we should naturally follow you!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San felt displeased.
It was as if the other party wasn't interested in his abilities.
Instead, he admired that old man Tang Hao!
No problem, once they see the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, they'll know just how powerful they are!
Tang San took out many blueprints, which were densely covered with diagrams of the structures of various Hidden Weapon.
"This is Hidden Weapon I invented over many years."
"Godly Zhuge Crossbow, Dragon Whisker Needles, Sand-Throwing Shadow Shot, Mother-and-Son Soul-Chasing Nails..."
"There are even the most powerful Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, and Peacock Plume!"
"Each one allows ordinary Soul Master to fight against opponents of higher levels!"
"These are the foundations upon which the Tang Sect Clan was founded!"
Tai Tan leaned closer for a closer look and clicked his tongue in amazement.
"What an ingenious design!"
"In all my years, I have never seen such an ingenious weapon!"
Tang San was surprised to see Tai Tan, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.
"In addition, I also possess unique movement techniques such as Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, a strength training method Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and a complete set of Hidden Weapon techniques!"
"As long as we select disciples with outstanding aptitude and train them, we can cultivate the sect's elite!"
Tai Tan stroked his beard and nodded, "As for manpower, Sect Master, you need not worry."
"I will immediately write a letter to contact the other three single-attribute races: Defense, Agility, and Break!"
"Back then, we four single-attribute sects followed the Clear Sky Sect, and we still maintain old friendships to this day!"
Tang San's eyes lit up. "Is Elder Tai Tan telling the truth?"
"When have I ever boasted?" Tai Tan laughed heartily. "They'll give me face as long as I ask!"
"Moreover, in recent years, we have all suffered inhuman oppression from the Spirit Hall and yearn for a wise ruler!"
"Of course, we also need the sect leader's Hidden Weapon and unique martial arts skills to impress them!"
Tang San suppressed his excitement, "Elder, rest assured, once we meet, I will make them completely convinced and loyal to me!"
"Very well!" Tai Tan said solemnly, "I will write a letter and contact them immediately!"
Tang San watched him go to the study, finally exhaling the pent-up frustration in his chest.
Ye Hua.
So what if you draw my blood?
So what if you destroy my Clear Sky Sect?
I, Tang San, can still make a comeback!
I will use the sect's resources to forge unparalleled Hidden Weapon!
Even mechanical Hidden Weapon capable of threatening Titled Douluo!
Sooner or later, I'll make you kneel before me.
I will make you pay back everything you took from me, with interest!
