That night, Qi Ling and Tang San lay in their respective beds, each with their own worries.
"Is Xiao San still awake?" Qi Ling suddenly asked.
Tang San hummed in agreement and said, "Big brother, is there something you want to say to me?"
Qi Ling thought for a moment and then said frankly, "There are indeed some things I want to tell you. Do you want to be the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect?"
Tang San paused for a moment, hesitated, and then said, "I don't have that idea. All I want now is to fulfill my father's wish and leave this place. I have no desire for power or anything like that."
"Sigh, Xiao San, you're being a bit unambitious. Clear Sky Sect is the number one sect in the world, surely you don't look down on it like that?" Qi Ling said.
"And with this bunch of stubborn fools, believe me, if you replace them with someone else as sect leader, the name 'Clear Sky Sect ' will cease to exist in the world within a hundred years!"
Tang San laughed and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be, brother. I think Tang Long and the others are quite talented too."
"Stop with the nonsense, tell me the truth!" Qi Ling interrupted Tang San.
Tang San paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Alright, brother, it's true what you said. The next generation of the Clear Sky Sect doesn't have any truly talented individuals."
"Right? You can sense it too, Xiao San, this world is already extremely turbulent, and a major upheaval is about to occur," Qi Ling said. " The Clear Sky Sect is an extremely important force; we absolutely cannot just watch them go and die."
"So, I've made up my mind!" Qi Ling suddenly sat up, looked at Tang San and smiled, "You will be the next sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect!"
If someone who didn't know better came here, they might think Qi Ling was the current sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect. But the way he said those words was so convincing, as if they were undeniable facts.
Tang San looked at the spirited Qi Ling and smiled helplessly, "Brother, you're asking too much of me. I'm far from being able to become the leader of a sect."
"Sigh, we're not making you take office right now, but this sect leader position will be yours sooner or later!" Qi Ling laughed. "Later, you'll lead the Clear Sky Sect, and I'll lead the Dragon's Glory. Imagine how spectacular it would be if we fought a massive brawl together!"
Tang San felt helpless again; his older brother's thinking was always so unpredictable.
After another moment of silence, Tang San suddenly said, "Brother, even if I one day become the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, I will never leave Dragon's Glory! At worst, I'll bring the entire Clear Sky Sect to join Dragon's Glory!"
Qi Ling laughed and said, "Don't joke around, Xiao San. Do those people from the Clear Sky Sect look like they'd join another sect?"
"Yes, big brother, as long as Dragon's Glory is big enough that they can't refuse, wouldn't that work?" Tang San said to Qi Ling with a smile.
This time, it was Qi Ling's turn to be surprised. When did this kid develop such ideas?
But upon further reflection, it did seem to be a solution! He couldn't help but imagine, "Then, how big would my Dragon's Glory have to be to accommodate the Clear Sky Sect?"
"It must be at least larger than the three major sects, larger than the two great empires, and larger than the Spirit Hall!" Tang San said. "At that time, not only will no one object to the Clear Sky Sect, but they will also be proud to join the Dragon's Glory!"
"You really dare to dream, Xiao San," Qi Ling laughed. "If you want to make Dragon's Glory that big, I can't do it alone. Xiao San, you have to help me!"
"Of course, brother," Tang San laughed, "We're brothers!"
The peaceful night passed just like that. Early the next morning, everyone in the Clear Sky Sect was already busy. They already knew yesterday that Clear Sky Douluo's son had returned and would decide many important things today.
Therefore, when they reached the top of the pole that day, almost all the direct disciples of the Clear Sky Sect gathered in the square in the front yard, numbering more than 150.
Meanwhile, the crowd was clearly divided into two factions: one led by Tang Xiao, and the other led by the five elders.
These people naturally had different opinions about Tang San's return. Tang Xiao's faction was in favor, while the five elders' faction was opposed.
In fact, in order to give Tang San a hard time, the five elders' faction had already conspired to start hurling insults at him as soon as Tang San arrived, hoping to make him back down.
Not long after, today's main characters, Tang San and Qi Ling, made their dazzling appearance. However, the people from the five elders' faction couldn't bring themselves to curse them, because along with the two came something else.
A murderous aura! A soaring murderous aura! This time, Qi Ling did not release his kingly aura, but rather the undisguised evil aura belonging to the Blood Devil Emperor.
Tang Xiao watched as Qi Ling approached, radiating a terrifying aura like a Devil King, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He had indeed told her to be a little arrogant, but was this all she had to do? Many of the weaker disciples were practically kneeling on the ground by now.
Qi Ling's murderous aura used to affect even the minds of Titled Douluo, let alone these ordinary Clear Sky Sect disciples. Now, they can hardly even stand on the ground, let alone curse.
The five elders clearly sensed Qi Ling's murderous aura. While surprised, they knew they couldn't let Qi Ling continue like this. Otherwise, if he walked over in this state, none of the disciples behind them would be able to stand.
At that moment, the eldest of the five elders, the Second Elder, stepped forward, releasing a powerful aura in an attempt to block Qi Ling's murderous aura.
But to the Second Elder's surprise, his powerful aura as Titled Douluo was no match for Qi Ling's murderous aura, and he was even forced into a passive position.
Seeing that the Second Elder had been thwarted, the other elders immediately stepped forward, and the four of them released their immense auras, pressing down on Qi Ling.
However, to their shock, even with the combined efforts of the five, they could only barely block Qi Ling's murderous aura; defeating him was utterly out of the question.
"How could this be? This is not the kind of aura a man his age should have!" The Second Elder thought to himself in disbelief. Even the Sect Master, Tang Xiao, did not have such a terrifying aura.
Seeing the serious looks in the five elders' eyes, Tang Xiao knew it was time to let Qi Ling stop while he was ahead, so he stepped forward and said, "Elders, this is Tang Hao's son, Tang San! And beside him is his sworn brother, Qi Ling."
Tang San bowed respectfully to the five elders and said, "Greetings, Sect Master! Greetings, Five Elders!"
Qi Ling withdrew her murderous aura at this moment and said with a grin, "I'm just here to observe. Please, make yourselves at home."
The five elders looked like they were about to vomit blood. "Just passing by? With someone like you coming here to buy soy sauce, probably no one in the world would dare to sell soy sauce!"
