After his initial anxiety, Tang San also felt a bit embarrassed, but he had deep feelings for his teacher and immediately rushed forward with Liu Erlong and Flender.
"Teacher! Don't be afraid, the attackers have been driven back! We're alright!" Tang San supported Yu Xiaogang, his voice choked with emotion. Liu Erlong, tears streaming down her face, took out a robe and, together with Flender, carefully covered Yu Xiaogang's body.
Feeling his disciple's warmth and concern, Yu Xiaogang's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but his body trembled even more violently due to the intense pain and weakness.
"Teacher, who did this to you, with these injuries?" Tang San's eyes flashed with cold light, and killing intent was evident.
Yu Xiaogang, panting heavily, said intermittently, "On the road... on the road... we encountered a group of... ruthless robbers... they robbed... all my things... and broke... my leg..."
Yu Xiaogang did not describe the robbers' strength in detail, only attributing everything to the ruthless bandits. After saying this, he suddenly fainted.
"Don't ask questions now, saving lives is the priority!" Liu Erlong cried out.
Soon, under the arrangement of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Yu Xiaogang was carried onto a carriage for emergency treatment. Xue Qinghe also promised to investigate the robbers.
The team was delayed for a while, but continued on their way, Shrek members feeling quite embarrassed. Yu Xiaogang's disheveled appearance only became a topic of conversation and a source of amusement for the participants during their boring journey.
Just as the Heaven Dou Empire's participating teams, after many twists and turns, finally caught a glimpse of the majestic outline of Spirit City, a glorious moment, destined to be recorded in the annals of the Soul Master World, was unfolding in Cloud Mist Mountain, deep within the Heaven Dou Empire.
As dawn breaks, rays of light illuminate the misty mountain peaks, making them appear like a fairyland, yet also exuding an indescribable sense of grandeur and majesty.
Above the meticulously renovated mountain gate square, banners fluttered in the wind, and the giant hammer emblem symbolizing the Clear Sky Sect shone brightly in the morning breeze.
Around the square, the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect stood solemnly, spirited, dignified, and orderly.
Further out were representatives from various factions who had come to witness the ceremony, as well as some of the prominent figures from the Soul Master World who were allowed to enter. The crowd was enormous, yet completely silent, with everyone's eyes focused on the majestic platform at the front of the square.
On the high platform, the lineup was magnificent, and the atmosphere was spectacular.
Seated in the main seat was Tang Xiao, the current Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao did not deliberately release his aura, but his long-standing superiority and profound foundation as Level 97 Super Douluo, just one step away from Level 98, naturally spread out, as steady as a mountain and as vast as an ocean, inspiring awe in all who looked up to him.
Today, Tang Xiao is undoubtedly the protagonist and the helmsman of the Clear Sky Sect's revival.
Standing a step slightly behind Tang Xiao was none other than the young sect leader Tang Feng. Tang Feng stood tall and straight like a pine tree, wearing a black outfit embroidered with dark gold Clear Sky Hammer patterns. His face was handsome, and his eyes were clear and calm.
Despite his youth, Tang Feng Tang Feng remained composed and dignified amidst such a grand scene and numerous powerful figures surrounding him, displaying the demeanor of a future leader.
Tang Feng's appearance itself sends a strong signal to the outside world that the Clear Sky Sect has successors and its bloodline continues unbroken.
To Tang Xiao's left and right were his most distinguished guests of the day, two giants representing the continent's top powers:
On the left stands Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. With a gentle smile on his face and holding a jade-inlaid scepter, he exudes an air of elegance and nobility, representing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which is incredibly wealthy and has extensive connections. Behind him stands the Bone Douluo Gu Rong, silently demonstrating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's powerful foundation and the importance it attaches to this ceremony.
On the right stands Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He is burly and imposing, with a dignified face and faint lightning swirling around him, like a dormant ancient thunder dragon, representing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, known for its domineering attacks and powerful Martial Soul. Yu Yuanzhen's personal arrival is undoubtedly one of the strongest supports for the Clear Sky Sect's return.
Further down are the official representatives of the two great empires: Prince Xue Xing, representing the Heaven Dou Empire Imperial Family, and the special envoy of the Star Luo Imperial Family family, a composed middle-aged man dressed in the Star Luo Imperial Family attire.
Below the high platform, what was even more awe-inspiring was the display of the Clear Sky Sect's own powerful foundation, with thirteen elders seated in specially designated elder seats!
From left to right: Second Elder Tang Zhen, Third Elder Tang Ming, Fourth Elder Tang Ran, Fifth Elder Tang Rui, Seventh Elder Tang Lie, Eighth Elder Tang Ming, Ninth Elder Tang Kun, Tenth Elder Bai He, Eleventh Elder Tai Tan, Twelfth Elder Niu Gao, Thirteenth Elder Yang Wudi, Guest Elder Dugu Bo, and Ye Qingxin.
Thirteen elders! Nine of them are Titled Douluo! Moreover, five of them— Tang Zhen, Tang Ming, Tang Ran, Tang Lie, Dugu Bo— have reached the level of Super Douluo above Level 95!
The sheer number of elders in this council is enough to make any power take notice, or even feel alarmed! This is not only a manifestation of the direct lineage of the Clear Sky Sect, but also a direct demonstration of the explosive increase in overall strength after merging with the Four Single-Attribute Clans, the Dugu Family, and the Nine Heart Begonia Clan!
The profound foundation and domineering aura of the number one sect in the world are now fully revealed!
Following the elders' seats are the core elite disciples of the second and third generations of the Clear Sky Sect.
Among the second-generation powerhouses, Tang Yu, Tang Hui, Tang Zhi, and others stood solemnly, each exuding a calm aura and possessing profound cultivation, forming the backbone of the sect.
The core of the third generation is led by well-known figures such as Tang Long, Tang Hu, Tang Jian, Dugu Yan Ye Lingling Niu Zhen, Niu Zhen, and Bai Chenxiang, while Tai Long is absent due to his participation in the Soul Master Tournament. They represent the youngest and most vibrant future of the Clear Sky Sect, their eyes shining brightly with aspirations for the sect's glory and a determination to shoulder their responsibilities.
The morning bell tolls, its sound echoing through the mountains.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, some filled with awe, some with shock, some with complex emotions, and some with anticipation, Sect Master Tang Xiao slowly rose to his feet. Tang Xiao no superfluous words, but his gaze swept across the entire scene like lightning, finally settling on the fluttering giant banner of the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao raised his right hand, and a huge, black, yet seemingly capable of absorbing all light Clear Sky Hammer slowly materialized behind him. Although it had not fully released its pressure, the heaviness and domineering nature originating from the Martial Soul Origin made the air seem to freeze.
"Today," Tang Xiao's voice, though not loud, resonated like thunder, clearly echoing throughout every corner of Cloud Mist Mountain, even faintly reverberating in the distant sky, " Clear Sky Sect, reopen your mountain gates!"
"All disciples of our sect should remember our ancestral teachings: Perform righteous deeds, uphold the prestige of our sect, and Heaven Shaking!"
From this moment on,
Tang Xiao waved his arm, pointing to the majestic mountain gate and the fluttering flags, his voice suddenly rising like a thunderclap:
" Clear Sky Sect, return!"
A thunderous roar of responses erupted from every disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, the sound waves rising higher and higher, soaring into the sky, as if they were pouring out all the pent-up frustration and fighting spirit accumulated over the past fifteen years!
Then began a flamboyant ceremony to worship heaven and earth, with bells, music, and cheers ringing out incessantly.
Amidst this earth-shattering spectacle, Cloud Mist Mountain seemed to have truly awakened.
A brand new and powerful force has officially joined the chess game on the continent. All the spectators, regardless of their own thoughts, clearly realized at this moment: a giant that has been silent for a long time has risen, and its footsteps will surely shake the entire Soul Master World!
Standing beside the sect leader, Tang Feng felt the overwhelming momentum and the heavy sense of belonging and responsibility, his heart surging with emotion.
Tang Feng knew that his era, and a new chapter for the Clear Sky Sect, had truly begun from this moment.
The road ahead may still be full of thorns and challenges, but at least for now, the Clear Sky Sect has drawn its sword, demonstrating its unparalleled power and determination to the world!
The grand opening ceremony concluded amidst the fervent attention and thunderous cheers of the crowd. However, the stirring aftertaste and the terrifying depths of the Clear Sky Sect Jiujiu in the hearts of every spectator, difficult to calm down.
After the ceremony, the more important and private reception began. Deep in the Cloud Mist Mountain, in a reception room built specifically for receiving distinguished guests, the atmosphere was solemn and slightly tense.
Sect Master Tang Xiao sat in the main seat, with Young Sect Master Tang Feng standing behind him on the side. The first people they would meet were naturally the two most important guests: Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Yu Yuanzhen Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Ning Fengzhi entered the hall accompanied by Bone Douluo Gu Rong. His face still wore that gentle and warm smile, as if the awe-inspiring ceremony he had just witnessed was merely a wonderful performance.
" Sect Master Tang, congratulations! Today, Clear Sky has reopened its gates with such grandeur and profound heritage that Fengzhi breathtaking. The Clear Sky Hammer's reputation is indeed well-deserved." Ning Fengzhi first, his tone sincere and carrying just the right amount of flattery.
