Qian Daoliu stepped through the void, holding the Angel Holy Sword in his hand, and overlooked the magnificent mountain gate built by Clear Sky School before him, a cold and detached smile hooking the corners of his mouth. "Clear Sky School, oh Clear Sky School!"
"Tang Chen, back then you and I called each other brothers, but now, my son indirectly died at the hands of your grandson Tang Hao, and my most cherished granddaughter died at the hands of your great-grandson Tang San."
"You Tang Family members truly are the nemesis of my Qian Family!"
Saying this, a frigid, piercing murderous intent flashed in the depths of Qian Daoliu's eyes. "We made an agreement back then."
"You went to seek the inheritance of the gods, and as long as I still lived, I would not deal a fatal blow to your Clear Sky School or destroy the heritage of Clear Sky School!"
"Yet what about your Clear Sky School? Why do you time and time again provoke my bottom line? What did the plan executed by my granddaughter have to do with your Clear Sky School?!"
"Why did that great-grandson of yours try to stop my granddaughter, and why did he deal a fatal blow to my granddaughter?!"
"Back then, I honored that so-called agreement and let Tang Hao go, even letting your Clear Sky School go! Looking at it now, that was nothing short of an absolute joke!"
Qian Daoliu gave a self-deprecating laugh, his figure slowly floating down and landing on the steps before the mountain gate of Clear Sky School.
"Since you chose to live in seclusion, you should have honestly acted like a coward! Why did you repeatedly go against Spirit Hall? Letting Tang Hao escape back then is the greatest mistake I have ever made in my life!"
"Who goes there? How dare you trespass upon the mountain gate of Clear Sky School!" two Clear Sky School guards dressed in gray form-fitting clothes shouted sternly.
The spirit rings on the two of them lit up—they were shockingly elite spirit masters at the rank-six spirit emperor level! Yet facing Qian Daoliu, who walked toward them step by step in a blood-red robe, they appeared utterly powerless to resist.
Instead, the two of them felt an indescribable, terrifying pressure, as if they were facing a hundred-thousand-year soul beast! It was even far more terrifying than a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
This sensation made their entire bodies tremble and cold sweat pour profusely!
"This is the territory of Clear Sky School. No matter who you are, if you dare take another step forward, don't blame us for being impolite!" the guards warned.
"The territory of Clear Sky School?" Qian Daoliu smiled faintly. "What I am looking for is precisely your Clear Sky School!"
"You're courting death!" The two guards exchanged glances and, regardless of who the other party actually was, shouted loudly as they fought down the terror in their hearts.
Simultaneously, the two summoned their own martial souls, which shockingly were a pair of Clear Sky Hammer martial souls that were pitch-black throughout and exuded a heavy, oppressive feel!
"Ignorant of life and death..."
Qian Daoliu didn't even blink his eyelids, merely waving his sword casually as a streak of golden sword qi flashed past.
"Puff..."
The two spirit-emperor-level spirit masters didn't even have time to let out a miserable scream before their bodies disintegrated midair, transforming into a mist of blood that filled the sky.
"Boom..."
The next second, Qian Daoliu no longer suppressed his aura, and the coercion belonging solely to a rank-99 peerless Douluo erupted abruptly like a dead volcano!
The terrifying soul power fluctuations transformed into towering, torrential waves of tangible substance, centered on Qian Daoliu as they swept across the entire peak of Clear Sky School.
Crack, crack, crack—mountain rocks shattered, buildings quaked, and the mountain range trembled violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over!
The disciples within the mountain gate of Clear Sky School dropped to their knees with a plop under this terrifying coercion, their complexions turning pale as they spewed mouthfuls of blood!
This earth-shattering, torrential coercion instantly alerted the sect master of Clear Sky School as well as other titled Douluo powerhouses!
"What person dares to come and run wild in our Clear Sky School? Although our Clear Sky School lives in seclusion, we are not someone just any riffraff can provoke!"
The voice was like a great bell or resonant chime, echoing through the valley.
Before the person had even arrived, the mighty voice had already spread throughout the mountain gate, followed closely by several fierce and peerless auras rushing over.
Tang Xiao, the Xiaotian Douluo—a rank-97 super Douluo and the current sect master of Clear Sky School—brought six titled elders of the sect, transforming into seven streams of light that arrived before the mountain gate in the span of a breath!
Yet when Tang Xiao, who had arrived in anger, saw the appearance of the person before him, his breathing instantly stalled!
"You are... Senior Qian Daoliu? How could you possibly appear here?!" Tang Xiao asked in a shocked, involuntary gasp.
"Qian Daoliu?!" Hearing this, the remaining six elders who had rushed over likewise drastically changed expression, sucking in sharp breaths of cold air.
As one of the three peerless Douluos of that era and the sky undefeated Qian Daoliu, his reputation was thunderous to Clear Sky School! He was a powerhouse of the same caliber as their ancestor Tang Chen!
"Why can't old man here come?" Qian Daoliu looked at the group of deeply vigilant people before him and chuckled lightly.
Only, that smile, matched with the blood-red robe on his body that had already been dyed crimson by blood, appeared bizarre and hair-raising.
The first elder of Clear Sky School stepped forward and said respectfully, "Senior Qian Daoliu! I wonder what business brings you to honor our Clear Sky School with your presence today?!"
"Back then, our ancestor Tang Chen had a clear agreement with you, Senior! If he, the old master, found the opportunity to achieve godhood and became a god, he would not make trouble for Spirit Hall!"
"Even if he perished or went missing, you of Spirit Hall must not deal a fatal blow to our Clear Sky School or completely annihilate Clear Sky School."
In one breath, the first elder brought up the agreement between Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu from back then, for he always felt that Qian Daoliu had come with ill intent.
"Indeed... Back then, Tang Chen and I truly had such an agreement." Qian Daoliu slightly raised his chin, the coldness in his eyes growing increasingly ferocious. "Yet I honored the agreement and let your Clear Sky School go!"
"Yet how on earth did your Clear Sky School repay our Spirit Hall?! Time and time again, you have acted as enemies to our Spirit Hall!"
Hearing this, rage burned in Tang Xiao's heart, yet he dared not vent it.
"Senior Qian Daoliu, we must speak reason! Back then, it was clearly Spirit Hall that cast aside martial honor and launched a fatal attack on my younger brother first!"
"Launch a fatal attack on Tang Hao?" Hearing this, Qian Daoliu let out a cold snort and said, "A dignified spirit master actually cohabited with a soul beast? This violates all moral norms and cannot be tolerated by the world!"
"Besides, that child of mine only wanted the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor and never intended to deal a fatal blow to Tang Hao!"
"Yet did our Clear Sky School not also pay a price?"
Tang Xiao's eyes split with rage. "After the battle back then, our Clear Sky School was forced to announce the closing of the mountain and live in seclusion, and the four single-attribute clans under our command were all disbanded, our sect's honor swept away. Could such a price not be enough to make amends?!"
Saying this, Tang Xiao asked straight to the point, "Senior Qian Daoliu, you personally came up the mountain today—could it be precisely for those old accounts of the past?!"
"Old accounts?!" Qian Daoliu slowly raised the Angel Holy Sword and laughed aloud. "You think too much; the old accounts were already turned over a long time ago, and besides, my child only indirectly died at Tang Hao's hands!"
"I have come today for new accounts, for my pitiful granddaughter, and for vengeance!"
