After the war ended, Little Nine returned to Spirit City and, after a brief rest, led his men towards the Clear Sky Sect with murderous intent. This time, he truly intended to completely annihilate the Clear Sky Sect, leaving no one alive!
However, when Little Nine and the others arrived at the gate of the Clear Sky Sect, they stopped in their tracks because someone was blocking their way, and it was someone they knew.
The one blocking Little Nine and the others' way was none other than Tang Hao!
"Hao... Tang Hao, are you going to stop me?"
Just as Little Nine was about to address Hao Shu, she immediately realized that she had severed all ties with this former uncle, so she changed her address and called him by his name.
"No, I don't want to interfere in your affairs. I'm not waiting here to stop you from taking revenge; I just want to talk to you about your mother."
Shaking his head slightly, Tang Hao, who was completely disillusioned with the sect, didn't bother to stop Little Nine from going up to take revenge. The reason he was waiting here was for another reason.
"I have no mother, I never have one!"
Little Nine spoke in a cold voice, her expression even colder.
From the moment he developed a sliver of intelligence in his fetal state, he sensed the murderous intent emanating from that woman. Originally, he didn't intend to care about any of this, since it was possible that his father had done something to harm his mother, and it was normal for his mother to harbor resentment.
But what happened three years ago completely broke his heart, and he severed all ties with that foolish woman.
"Come over and let's talk!"
Feeling even more guilty, Tang Hao gestured to Little Nine and turned to walk towards the nearby woods.
There were some things he wanted to discuss with Little Nine alone, things that shouldn't be known to outsiders.
" Little Nine!"
Jiang Zhu stepped forward, her heart filled with worry. The women of Zijing behind her also wore worried expressions and were wary of Tang Hao.
After all, Tang Hao's performance in the invasion war of the Abyss Plane was too amazing; his powerful combat strength was deeply terrifying.
They were really worried about letting Little Nine be alone with Tang Hao.
"Wait for me!"
After a slight hesitation, Little Nine finally let out a sigh of relief, gave some instructions to the Jiang Zhu women, and followed after them.
The reason he dared to bring people to the Clear Sky Sect for revenge was that the power his father had sealed within the Haotian Mirror had been revived and could be used at any time.
If Tang Hao makes a move, he also has ways to deal with it.
With this trump card in hand, he naturally had nothing to fear.
"Your aunt has probably told you about the battle with the Clear Sky Sect thirty years ago, so I won't go into detail. What I want to tell you about this time is what happened to your mother afterward, and also about your origins..."
After arriving in the woods, Tang Hao found a fallen tree trunk and sat down. He slowly recounted his experiences after that battle, focusing on the origin of Little Nine.
He didn't want to talk about the events of the battle with the Clear Sky Sect back then, nor did he know how to talk about it.
Moreover, since Little Nine has joined the Spirit Hall Empire and become the disciple of that mysterious Grandmaster, he must have access to some secrets and know the truth about the battle with the Clear Sky Sect back then, so there is no need for me to say more.
This time, he was going to talk about things that Little Nine didn't know, and at the same time, lay the groundwork for his next plan.
The truth revealed by Tang Hao left Little Nine completely dumbfounded; he never imagined that he had come to be like this.
It wasn't as she had originally thought, that her father had forced himself on her mother, but rather that she was conceived by a drop of her father's blood by a twist of fate.
So the question arises: am I really that father's son?
"I'm telling you all this so you can understand that your mother had her reasons for doing what she did back then; she wanted to protect you better. You should try to understand her and protect her."
You must have seen the previous war. Your mother was in great danger. She had a shocking secret. Not only was she being watched by your father, but even the gods of the Divine Realm had designs on her. This time, the Abyssal Sage King even personally tried to kill your mother.
This is no accident; similar things will inevitably happen again in the future. I hope you can protect your mother.
Ah Yin's life has been so miserable!
The more Tang Hao talked, the more guilty he felt. He truly owed Ah Yin far too much.
He himself had no face to face Ah Yin, let alone protect her, so he could only find a successor to continue to protect Ah Yin on his behalf.
As Ah Yin's biological son, Little Nine is the most suitable candidate. Moreover, Little Nine's personality is very similar to his own, so he should be able to carry on that legacy.
"This is a legacy I inherited from my ancestors. Your father also received the same legacy, and it's enough to make you powerful quickly."
After transmitting that inheritance into Little Nine's mind through his Soul Power, Tang Hao dejectedly got up and walked into the depths of the forest.
He didn't plan to return to the Clear Sky Sect, that place that had chilled his heart. The reason he was waiting for Little Nine to arrive this time was twofold: first, to find someone to continue protecting Ah Yin in his place; and second, to find a suitable successor for the ancestor's legacy.
He had promised to find a successor for the ancestor to pass on the legacy, but he had already broken the ancestor's promise not to pass on the legacy to others casually. This last promise could not be broken under any circumstances.
"If possible, please do not harm the innocent!"
Tang Hao's forlorn voice came from the depths of the woods; it was his request to Little Nine.
Having essentially become a cripple, he was powerless to stop Little Nine's revenge against the Clear Sky Sect. All he could do now was plead with Little Nine not to harm the innocent; this was the last thing he could do for the Clear Sky Sect.
"Uncle Hao, take care!"
With mixed feelings, Little Nine looked into the depths of the woods, muttered something to herself, and then turned back.
It's time to take revenge on the Clear Sky Sect!
" Little Nine!"
Seeing Little Nine return safely, the women of Jiang Zhu breathed a huge sigh of relief.
It would be wonderful if Little Nine were alright.
I'm sorry to have worried you!
With a gentle smile, Little Nine waved to the legion behind him and ordered, "Move out and annihilate the Clear Sky Sect!"
That's right. Although Little Nine has the backup plan left by her father in her Martial Soul as a source of confidence, it's best not to use that backup plan if possible.
Therefore, another major source of his confidence this time was his 10,000-strong army.
Three years ago, he joined the Spirit Hall Empire's legion, starting as a lowly soldier. Over the next three years, through his own efforts, he rose through the ranks and finally became the commander of a legion of ten thousand men.
This is his own legion, which, although not private, still has considerable leadership authority.
Of course, the decision to attack the Clear Sky Sect was made after applying to and receiving approval from the Spirit Hall Empire.
It should be noted that the laws of the Spirit Hall Empire are quite comprehensive, especially in military matters, where they are extremely strict. Even a legion commander cannot lead his legion to relocate at will, let alone leave the Spirit Hall Empire.
The combined power of a legion of 10,000 Soul Elder, all at the level of level 30 or above, was incredibly terrifying. Don't underestimate the Soul Venerables of the Martial Soul Spirit Hall Empire just because they were only at the Soul Elder level; they were on a completely different level from Soul Elder outside the Martial Soul Elder Empire.
In the Soul Master system of the Spirit Hall Empire, those who reach the level 30 Soul Elder will possess strength comparable to that of Titled Douluo in the outside world.
And this is just an average level; those with exceptional talent can far exceed it.
A legion composed of 10,000 powerful individuals, equivalent to Titled Douluo level fighters, and capable of forming a military formation to unify their power, is a testament to their formidable combat strength.
Without a word, after entering the Clear Sky Sect, Little Nine led his legion to unleash Group Martial Spirit Fusion Skill, instantly creating a towering giant thousands of feet tall in front of the Clear Sky Sect's gate.
This is the Group Martial Spirit Fusion Skill formed by the legion led by Little Nine, which is also a standard technique of the Spirit Hall Empire's legions.
The power unleashed by Group Martial Spirit Fusion Skill involving tens of thousands of people is comparable to that of Level 100 God, and even approaches the level of Third-Level God.
Having completed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Little Nine maintained her ruthless and taciturn persona, directly controlling the Sword One in the Martial Soul Giant's hand to slash down.
A colossal sword, also a thousand feet in size, slashed down, its powerful Haki Domain covering the blade and extending into a ten-thousand-foot-long, Haki beam.
That wasn't all. Little Nine unleashed his Haki Domain, intimidating everyone within the Clear Sky Sect.
He had already sensed it with his Haki Domain before; there were currently less than 10,000 people in the Clear Sky Sect, and the lowest level among them was Soul Saint.
The Clear Sky Sect is, after all, one of the Upper Three Sects, the most prestigious aristocratic sect.
Even excluding the odd jobs and menial laborers, its membership exceeds one million.
Clearly, the Clear Sky Sect had made preparations in advance, transferring members with less combat power beforehand and leaving only their strongest forces to await their arrival.
"You wretched creature, how dare you!"
At the same time, a roar came from the main hall of the Clear Sky Sect, and a figure rushed out, wielding the huge Clear Sky Hammer to meet the sharp edge of the giant sword that Little Nine was slashing down.
"When!"
A dull clang of metal clashing rang out, and the giant sword controlled by Little Nine was sent flying high into the air, causing the upper body of the Martial Soul Giant to lean back slightly, demonstrating the power of the attack.
However, the opponent's fate was even more tragic. He was forcefully slammed back into the main hall by the overwhelming force, which smashed and collapsed the defensive barriers set up in the hall. Even a wisp of blood mist drifted in the air.
"You little bastard, I should have killed you back then!"
Tang Chen rushed out of the ruins of the main hall, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Little Nine with an extremely sinister gaze, his chilling killing intent completely undisguised.
He truly regretted it; he shouldn't have hesitated to kill Tang Hao back then.
Given Tang Hao's personality, even if they really killed this little bastard, would Tang Hao really dare to lay a hand on them?
This has led to the rise of this little bastard, who has even managed to invade the Clear Sky Sect.
" Qian Daoliu, come out here! I can smell your stench from miles away!"
Tang Chen's sinister gaze swept over Little Nine's Martial Soul Giant before finally looking towards a high point in the sky to the side.
There were some people hiding there, one of whom was his old nemesis Qian Daoliu.
Clearly, the group from the Spirit Hall Empire wasn't just that little bastard's side; he had anticipated this.
After all, that little bastard's identity is extraordinary. The Spirit Hall Empire cannot simply watch him venture deep into this territory alone; it will inevitably send powerful figures to protect him in secret.
He just hadn't expected that it would be his old rival, Qian Daoliu, who came, which made him uneasy.
It should be noted that Qian Daoliu currently the Fleet Admiral -in-Chief of the entire army of the Spirit Hall Empire, the highest military leader. Such a status and position generally cannot be easily moved, let alone leave the Spirit Hall Empire.
Qian Daoliu's purpose in coming here this time was certainly not just to secretly protect that little bastard.
"Could it be that the Spirit Hall Empire suspects me?"
Thoughts raced through his mind, and a terrifying guess came to mind, making Tang Chen's expression even more somber.
This is troublesome!
