After a long journey, the group finally arrived at the Clear Sky Sect again. Although the ban on the Clear Sky Sect had been lifted, the sect had not yet moved and remained on the cliff.
Upon arriving at the small village again, after some introductions, they finally ascended the mountain gate of the Clear Sky Sect once more and met Tang Xiao in the reception hall.
Tang Xiao was quite surprised to see Qi Ling suddenly appear and couldn't help but ask, " Qi Ling, is there something you need? Why didn't Xiao San come with you?"
"I'm here because of the Xiao San," Qi Ling said. "I won't waste time with pleasantries, Senior Tang Xiao. The Xiao San's life is hanging by a thread, and only Senior Tang Chen can save him. Is he still here?"
"What did you say? Xiao San is in critical condition? What happened to him?" Tang Xiao was shocked. Tang San was the future hope of the Clear Sky Sect and the only candidate to become the next sect leader. If something happened to him, it would be a heavy loss for the Clear Sky Sect.
"Senior Tang Xiao, don't be nervous. I've brought Xiao San with me." Qi Ling said, taking out a crystal coffin from her Infinite Space and placing it on the ground.
"Ah, although Xiao San was put in a coffin, he's not dead," Qi Ling said. "But if we can't find Senior Tang Chen, then things might get complicated."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao hurriedly went forward to check on Tang San's condition and indeed found that his entire body seemed to be surrounded by baleful energy, with only his chest protected by a bit of blue light, and he was unaffected.
However, under such circumstances, Tang San was constantly suffering. So Tang Xiao said, "The Ancestor is indeed at the Clear Sky Sect, but it will be difficult to see him."
"Oh? Why is that?" Qi Ling frowned. "That old man, his own great-grandson is dying and he doesn't even care? Tell me where he is, I'm going to go beat him up right now!"
Tang Xiao couldn't help but smile helplessly. Perhaps only Qi Ling could say such a thing. And the key point was that Qi Ling actually seemed to be able to beat Tang Chen, and was probably the only person in the world who could beat him up.
"It's not that the Ancestor didn't want to take action, but after returning to the Clear Sky Sect half a year ago, he has been locking himself away in the back mountain, refusing to see anyone," Tang Xiao said. "For so long, if he hadn't finished all the food sent to him every day, we would have suspected that the Ancestor had already passed away."
"What? No way, this guy's in seclusion?" Qi Ling exclaimed, her eyes wide. "What's he after?"
"I don't know, but the Tang Xiao once said, 'If Xiao San encounters difficulties and returns one day, that will be the time for him to emerge from seclusion! At that time, we can send someone to invite him out of seclusion.'" Tang Xiao said.
Qi Ling listened and began to ponder. Clearly, Tang Chen had already guessed the difficulties Tang San would face, which was why he had made preparations in advance, waiting for Tang San to return for help before he himself came out of seclusion again.
If that's the case, then why doesn't Tang Chen go directly to Tang San, instead of staying here in seclusion and waiting for Tang San to come to him?
Qi Ling guessed that it wasn't that Tang Chen didn't want to do it, but that he couldn't! It was very likely that Tang Chen's body had finally reached its limit, and he could only use this method to forcibly prolong his life until the right opportunity appeared.
Since Tang Chen had already made arrangements for this, Qi Ling Qi Ling was even more certain of her judgment. She couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for this guardian of the Clear Sky Sect. Even at the moment of his death, he was thinking about his descendants, which was worthy of respect.
