A hundred li outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
In a nameless mountain ravine, Tang Hao sat cross-legged in meditation inside a dark cave.
His battle with Xiong Jun had left him badly injured, and only now had his condition finally stabilized.
"Who's there?"
Tang Hao abruptly opened his eyes, fixing his gaze on the cave entrance.
It was as though some terrifying presence stood outside.
"Hao'er, don't be afraid. It's me!"
The voice came from outside. The next moment, a figure appeared before Tang Hao.
He wore blood-red clothes and a cloak with a standing collar.
"Ancestor!"
Tang Hao's pupils contracted as he called out in surprise.
Without a doubt, the man before him was the ancestor of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen!
"Ancestor, how did you find me here?"
Tang Hao asked in bewilderment.
"Before we parted last time, I left a mark on you. As long as you're on the Douluo Continent, I can find you with ease."
As Tang Chen spoke, his brows knitted tightly. "Didn't I tell you to find your son and take him to Sea God Island for the Sea God's trials? Why are you here, and why are you so badly injured?"
He couldn't understand what had happened to Tang Hao.
"Ancestor, you have no idea how much has happened to me in these few short days. Looking back now, it all feels like a dream..."
Tang Hao spoke with a complicated expression.
In all honesty, his experiences these past few days could only be described as a string of cruel twists of fate.
He had suffered so much.
"Then tell me one thing at a time."
"I'm not concerned with what you've been through. What I want to know is how you've handled the matters I just mentioned."
