The elders nodded in agreement with Qi Ling's words. Tang San and Qi Ling's achievements had far exceeded their expectations, and Tang San was fully qualified to become the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect.
More importantly, after the two of them came up the mountain again, Qi Ling, who was already terrifying enough, has become even more terrifying. Even though he doesn't show any signs of it, he is already making everyone feel suffocated.
Even Tang Xiao, the current sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, felt completely unable to see through Qi Ling when facing him. When Qi Ling came before, Tang Xiao felt that he could defeat him, but now, he was no match for him at all!
"What kind of opportunity did this kid get? His strength is almost illogical!" Tang Xiao sighed inwardly. "The feeling he gives me now is even similar to the feeling my great-grandfather gave me!"
"Haha, since you are all satisfied, that's good." Qi Ling laughed, "Or, if any of the elders are itching to try their hand, they can also go down and compete with Xiao San! They don't even need to use their Soul Power."
Upon hearing this, the elders immediately refused. Although they might not necessarily lose, fighting Tang San now would be completely pointless!
Moreover, with Qi Ling watching over them, the elders didn't dare to get serious. After all, the Seventh Elder was almost kicked away by Qi Ling last time, and if he were kicked again this time, his bones would probably be broken.
Later, through Tang Xiao, Qi Ling and Tang San learned about Sea God Island and the story of the three Limit Douluo. Knowing that such a place existed in the world strengthened Tang San's determination to go there.
"In that case, Xiao San, come with me," Tang Xiao said. "Before you head to Sea God Island, I have some unique techniques from the Clear Sky Sect to teach you."
After receiving instruction from Tang Xiao, Tang San took Hu Liena to Sunset Forest, intending to introduce his parents to their future daughter-in-law.
Qi Ling originally didn't plan to be a third wheel, since it was a family reunion, and it would be pointless for her to get involved.
However, Tang San didn't think so. Precisely because Qi Ling was his elder brother, and Tang Hao also highly regarded Qi Ling, Tang San felt that it was even more appropriate for Qi Ling to be around.
"Besides, big brother, how can Nana and I's engagement ceremony be complete without you? I'm planning to have you as my witness!" Tang San laughed. "After all, you've witnessed everything that's happened between Nana and me."
"Oh? If Xiao San's how you put it, then I guess I have no choice but to go." Qi Ling laughed. "No one can take the job of officiant from me! I'll fight anyone who tries!"
So the three of them arrived at Sunset Forest together. After passing through the dense jungle, they came to the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Tang San couldn't help but shout loudly, "Dad! I'm back! Where are you? Dad!"
However, to Tang San's surprise, no matter how he called out, he could not find Tang Hao. At the same time, a very ominous feeling arose in Qi Ling's heart.
" Xiao San, look!" Qi Ling pointed to the open space in front of her, where there was a deep footprint, clearly caused by some powerful force, and judging from the footprint, it was Tang Hao's footprint.
The group rushed to the footprint. Qi Ling examined the force applied to it and said, "This footprint doesn't seem to have been left after an attack. It looks more like it was left by someone deliberately leaving before launching an attack!"
"Brother, what do you mean by this?" Tang San asked, puzzled.
"It's simple. Uncle Hao may have encountered an enemy, but for some reason, he couldn't fight them here. Instead, he lured the enemy away before engaging them," Qi Ling said. "Judging from the direction of the force, he should have gone that way."
Qi Ling pointed in a direction, and Tang San and Hu Liena couldn't help but look in that direction.
"But why can't Clear Sky Douluo fight here?" Hu Liena asked, puzzled.
"I reckon it's to protect something! And what Uncle Hao would risk his life for..." Qi Ling and Tang San exchanged a glance, Tang San immediately understood, "Mother! Father is protecting Mother!"
"That's right! Only this possibility could explain why Uncle Hao didn't choose to run away but instead lured the enemy away! It seems the enemy he encountered must have been incredibly powerful," Qi Ling said.
" Xiao San, given Uncle Hao's abilities, since he was protecting your mother, it's highly likely he hid her nearby! And how did he hide her?"
"You and Hu Liena search around here, don't miss any details! I'll go check in the direction Uncle Hao left, maybe we'll find something!"
So Qi Ling and Tang San split up. Tang San and Hu Liena immediately began searching for his mother in the vicinity. With his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, he could sense the information of all the Blue Silver Grass in the vicinity, so this should not be difficult for him.
Qi Ling followed the direction Tang Hao had gone and quickly found the next set of footprints. Although Tang Hao had lost an arm and a leg, and two Soul Bone, as the former Clear Sky Douluo, he was not someone that ordinary Titled Douluo could easily defeat.
This means that Tang Hao's enemies were either multiple Titled Douluo or even more powerful opponents! He knew he was no match for them, which is why he abandoned Ah Yin and lured the enemies away alone.
Before long, Qi Ling arrived at a place where a fierce battle had clearly taken place. Trees were fallen in large numbers, and the ground was riddled with craters from the fighting, giving a good idea of how intense the battle had been.
Moreover, judging from the traces at the scene, Tang Hao lost, and lost completely. It is unknown whether he used any of the Clear Sky Sect's secret techniques, but it is clear that no matter what moves he used, he was not the victor.
"Since Uncle Hao isn't here, it means he was taken away. It seems there's a good chance Uncle Hao's still alive!" Qi Ling analyzed to herself. " Uncle Hao, you must hold on!"
Just then, Qi Ling suddenly heard Tang San's excited voice and immediately set off in their direction.
Near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San finally found his mother, Ah Yin, in a tree hole. She was the Blue Silver Grass, which was transformed from her seed!
After seeing the tree hole where Ah Yin was hiding, Qi Ling couldn't help but admire Tang Hao's thoughtfulness. This tree was the only one among all the nearby plants that could conceal the scent of the Blue Silver Grass. It could be said that if it weren't for this tree, Ah Yin would definitely not have been able to hide.
