Chapter 186
"Enemies? I think our Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall have long been enemies, haven't they? I imagine you know about what happened years ago, since you dared to come to the Clear Sky Sect. Young man, you don't need to try to trick me. I know your purpose. You're the one who caused such a ruckus in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Clear Sky Sect Clan not long ago, right? The one who made Yu Yuanzhen so wary—I've seen it for myself today. Truly extraordinary. If that's all you've got today, you can leave now. Our Clear Sky Sect has been closed for twenty years. Whether we open or close is an internal matter for our Clear Sky Sect. As a senior, I must remind you, with your talent, you shouldn't waste your time on these things. You, a Soul Emperor, have come here, or you forced the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to abandon their sect not long ago. Do you think it's because of the Spirit Hall behind you? That's part of the reason, but the main reason is that man who's known as invincible in the sky. Neither the Clear Sky Sect nor the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can withstand his wrath. So, instead of wasting your time arguing with me here, you should become someone others fear."
Although Tang Xiao was an upright man, he had been the sect leader for so many years, so how could he not understand what Yu Tianshuang was saying? However, he greatly admired the young man's talent and strength, and since he and Hao Di both knew his parents, he spoke up to explain.
"I understand, thank you, senior. In that case, I won't bother you any longer. Farewell!"
Hearing that Tang Xiao had seen through his little scheme and had wasted so much time talking to him, it seemed that he wouldn't get an answer from him today. So he stopped arguing, bowed, and went down the mountain in the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi.
"I wonder if Sect Master Tang has found an answer after being gone for so long?"
Yu Yuanzhen waited in the hall for a long time, refilling his teacup several times. When he saw Tang Xiao return with a solemn expression, he spoke.
"Sect Master Yu, do you know who I just saw? It was Yu Tianshuang, whom you just mentioned."
Seeing that Yu Yuanzhen still looked calm and collected, Tang Xiao immediately dropped a bombshell.
Where is this traitor?
Upon hearing Tang Xiao's words, Yu Yuanzhen immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
"He's gone, he's been gone for quite a while. He defeated our Clear Sky Sect's Seventh Elder at the foot of the mountain, and then came up the mountain, intending to force our Clear Sky Sect to continue its reclusive existence."
Tang Xiao was very satisfied with Yu Yuanzhen's reaction. His idea was correct; the old tyrant's words were not entirely true. However, the strength that Yu Tianshuang had shown at the foot of the mountain did indeed deserve this reaction. With this young man's talent, he could become the second Qian Daoliu in ten years at most.
"Since that's the case, then Sect Master Tang, you should give me an answer. The Spirit Hall has grand ambitions and intends to unify the continent. As the most feared force in their eyes, the Upper Three Sects should unite, otherwise we will only be defeated one by one by the Spirit Hall."
It's clear that after meeting Yu Tianshuang, Tang Xiao actually believed half of what he said. Given the irreconcilable conflict between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall, an alliance should be feasible.
"Sect Master! A man claiming to be Tang Hao's son has arrived; he's already at the mountain gate!"
Today, Blazing Sun Douluo felt extremely busy. He had just been defeated by a young Soul Emperor from the Spirit Hall, and now he was summoned to the sect by the Second Elder, who said that Tang Hao's son had arrived.
"Since I lost, I have to keep my promise to him, hmph!"
Tang Lie felt very aggrieved. If he hadn't used the Majestic Tragedy and Continuing Iron Will in his previous battle with Yu Tianshuang, which left him extremely weak and with only one-tenth of his Soul Power remaining, he wouldn't have been able to keep Tang San standing on the iron chains at all.
"Everyone, disperse and go back to your cultivation. Sect Master Yu, you may stay."
The Grand Elder was very satisfied as he watched Tang San take out the three Soul Bone from Tang Hao's body and sit cross-legged to recover. After twenty years, his Clear Sky Sect's young disciples had finally produced someone who could rival the Clear Sky Twins.
"Very good, very good. I have never seen such an outstanding young man before. I just hope he doesn't go astray in the future and end up like his father. Sigh."
Tang Xiao, Yu Yuanzhen, Tang Lie looked indignant, exchanged glances upon hearing the Second Elder's words, their expressions somewhat unnatural.
"Sect Master, the Clear Sky Sect has been closed off for many years. Now, according to Sect Master Yu, the Spirit Hall's clutches have begun to blatantly extend towards the Upper Three Sects. Sect Master, several of our elders have repeatedly suggested to you that we lift the restrictions. I believe the time is ripe. What is your opinion, Sect Master?"
The Second Elder looked at Tang San with a kind and gratified gaze, then spoke to Tang Xiao and Yu Yuanzhen.
"Twenty years have passed. My Clear Sky Sect has been in seclusion for a full twenty years. Now I believe it's time for the Clear Sky Hammer to reappear in the Soul Master World. However, I feel the time is not yet ripe. I think we should continue to be patient for a while longer, because Xiaosan. What our Clear Sky Sect needs now is someone who can lead the sect back to its former glory. I am old, and all the elders are old, but Xiaosan is different. As his uncle and the current Clear Sky Sect, I cannot delay his growth because of the sect's early rise. What he needs now is time, enough time for him to grow to be able to dominate the world!"
If Tang Xiao hadn't witnessed how Yu Tianshuang, a mere Soul Emperor, defeated Tang Lie, he might have agreed to the Second Elder's suggestion. Hao Di's son might be outstanding enough, but at this moment, he was still quite far behind that young man from the Spirit Hall. He should give him enough time to grow.
"Sect Master Yu, regarding the alliance you mentioned, please grant Clear Sky Sect some time. But rest assured, it won't be long before Clear Sky Sect reappears on the continent!"
Looking at the young man with long blue hair before him, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but compare him to Yu Tianshuang. He then sighed heavily, a sense of helplessness in his voice. If he could return to the sect, with him leading the younger generation, and with Tianxin and Tian Heng assisting him, it would only be a matter of time before the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan surpassed the Clear Sky Sect and became the number one sect in the world. What a pity...
"Zhu Zhuqing, do you think my mission was a success or a failure? Will the Clear Sky Sect reappear?"
After picking up Zhu Zhuqing was waiting at the foot of the mountain, Yu Tianshuang led her to Dai Weisi's location. On the way, she kept pondering Tang Xiao's words, which were somewhat ambiguous, so she asked Zhu Zhuqing behind her.
"I... I think the Clear Sky Sect probably won't be leaving the mountain for the time being. The mission... I guess it's complete..."
Although she had already shared the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi with Yu Tianshuang several times, the blush on Zhu Zhuqing's lovely and aloof face could not be wiped away when she felt the touch pressing against her.
