Chapter 148: Blue Silver Emperor’s Tyrannical Control Power
Part 1 (TL by Bagelson)
Just as he stepped out the door, a damp mist hit him head on. The mountaintop was extremely humid, and the fog was even denser in early morning. If it was an ordinary person’s eyesight, he could only have seen five meters or so.
Even if Tang San wasn’t greatly influenced by it, he was clearly unable to cultivate Purple Demon Eye. It seemed that if he were to stay here long, he would have to find a suitable place to cultivate.
The air was somewhat cold, and in just a moment outside, Tang San’s clothes were damp, leaving him no choice but to return to his room. Just as he hesitated over whether to cultivate a while longer, a pounding noise echoed at the door.
“Tang San, you up?”
The voice belonged to Tang Long.
“I’m up.”
Tang San hastily stepped forward to open the door, finding Tang Long carrying food boxes inside. Compared to Tang Tiantian’s delivery yesterday, he clearly brought a lot more food.
“Come, we’ll eat breakfast together.”
Tang Long also didn’t stand on ceremony, placing the food boxes on the table and opening them. Inside was a tray of steamed buns, a pot of hot congee, as well as a few eggs and salted vegetables.
“You might be busy today. Eat a bit.”
“Many thanks.”
Tang San didn’t stand on ceremony. He was just at an age where he could eat, and the two brothers ate heartily, finishing all the food in moments.
“Tang San, I’m afraid today will be troublesome for you. I heard the other brothers say that the elders are paying particular attention to your return, and are moreover very angry. The sect master had me tell you to be careful in everything. You can decline others’ challenges when necessary.”
Could he really decline? If he did, perhaps he truly would be unable to do anything for the sect. Tang San secretly sighed,
“Many thanks, big brother.”
Tang Long didn’t leave even after breakfast was done, all along waiting until the sun hung high enough to break up the mist, then led Tang San outside, directly to the Clear Sky School’s front courtyard.
Clear Sky School. Front courtyard.
Completely different from the quiet when Tang San arrived yesterday, right now at least a hundred fifty people were gathered in the courtyard. The majority stood in a ring, while sect master Tang Xiao and five old and white haired elders stood in the center of the courtyard.
These five elders all seemed to be at least eighty years old, but each had a lively spirit, red luster across their whole faces. One elder among them was speaking to Tang Xiao about something with a stern expression.
Tang Long spoke in a low voice:
“Besides the people outside for procuring things and handling business, the sect’s directly related disciples are all here. Those five in the center are the sect’s five first generation elders. Even the sect master has to deal with them. In terms of seniority, they’re all the sect master’s uncles.”
Accompanied by Tang Long, Tang San arrived in the courtyard. The incense burner Tang San had originally predicted would be here didn’t appear. Tang Yue-Hua stood behind Tang Xiao, her expression extremely unsightly. Tang San and Tang long’s appearance immediately became the focal point of everyone.
At this point, someone unknown shouted,
“Tang Hao family trash, get out of Clear Sky. You’re not welcome here.”
Along with this provocation, a new few of the sect youths immediately shouted back, and for a moment the courtyard became disorderly.
Tang San’s eyes narrowed slightly. Just as Tang Xiao was about to shout for order, suddenly, a faint white light spread from Tang San, instantly becoming colorless.
Right now was the middle of the day. The mountaintop was undoubtedly very cold without the sunshine, but it was also the place closest to the sun. As the sunshine sprinkled down, the temperature would also be much higher than on level ground. The vicious sunshine would even cause sunburns.
But right now, in the instant the white light spread from Tang San, the Clear Sky School’s disciples all had a feeling as if they’d fallen into an ice cellar. The ice cold thick killing intent spread to every corner of the front courtyard.
The numerous disorderly voices screeched to a sudden halt as if cut off with a sharp blade. Who could have thought that the previously quiet and contented, gracefully calm Tang San, would actually be able to release this kind of almost substantial tyrannical killing intent.
With a sweep of his gaze, Tang San almost instantly found that sect disciple who rushed to speak up first. That was a youth roughly the same age as him. Relying on his technique for locating sounds as well as his potent spiritual force, he directly locked him down.
And this moment the rich killing intent distributed into the surrounding air suddenly condensed, gathering entirely on this person.
The killing intent that had turned colorless from scattering once again appeared white, Like it was a bridge connecting Tang San to that youth. A faint blood red flashed in Tang San’s deep blue eyes. This moment, Tang Yue-Hua seemed to recognize that Tang San that had first come to the Moon Pavilion.
That moment the slightly more than twenty year old youth found himself in the condensed Deathgod Domain, his expression immediately turned miserable. The heavy chill seeped directly into his skin. To his eyes, Tang San seemed to have become a bloodthirsty devil.
However, he was also worthy of being called a Clear Sky School disciple. Even though he was young, his cultivation wasn’t shallow.
With a loud shout, black light surged in his right hand, a one meter long Clear Sky Hammer abruptly emerging. Two yellow and two purple, four spirit rings were released. Relying on his spirit’s formidable imposing manner, he managed with difficulty to stabilize his swaying heart.
This was still the Clear Sky Hammer. If he had an inferior spirit, under the combined assault of Tang San’s Deathgod Domain and spiritual force, perhaps he would already have collapsed.
Tang Xiao shouted:
“Tang San, don’t be impudent in front of the elders.”
Tang San also didn’t plan to really do anything. The white light vanishing, he once again turned to Tang Xiao as if he had never done anything, bowing and saluting,
“My respects to sect master, my respects to elders.”
The five elders naturally also felt the tyrannical killing intent Tang San had released, and they couldn’t keep their faces from changing. One elder with long white eyebrows said in a low voice:
“Deathgod Domain.”
Tang San didn’t conceal it,
“Exactly.”
Another slim elder gave a cold laugh,
“You’ve actually inherited the talent of that disas
ter Tang Hao, but so what? If the sect had another Tang Hao, perhaps we would be destroyed. You, a third generation disciple, still doesn’t kneel when meeting us?”
Tang San hesitated a moment, but still kneeled. Not only because they were his elders, but even more because of what his father owed the sect.
“Tang San hopes for forgiveness for his father, to help restore the greatness of the sect. Sect master and elders, please allow me to recognize my ancestors and clan.”
The slim elder furiously said:
“Bullshit, in view of your father’s conduct and deeds, don’t think about returning to the sect. You’re the son born from him and that evil spirit beast creature, just a bastard. Even if the Clear Sky School’s gates are sealed, we still won’t let a bastard return to the sect.”
“Seventh junior, pay attention to propriety when you speak, there are a lot of juniors watching.”
The long-eyebrowed elder frowned, speaking somewhat dissatisfied.
Hearing the word ‘bastard’. Tang San’s expression suddenly became calm. Still kneeling, he slowly raised his head, looking at the slim elder.
“Who did you say is a bastard?”
Even though he didn’t release the Deathgod Domain, the chill he emanated right now was even colder than before.
Tang Xiao didn’t block Tang San from questioning the slim elder, right now he was also so furious his face was grey.
“You, little bastard.”
The slim elder hardly concealed the fury in his expression, already trembling somewhat in agitation,
“If not for that animal Tang Hao involving the sect, my eldest son wouldn’t have been ambushed and killed by Spirit Hall while getting supplies for the sect.”
“Enough. Seventh elder, if you don’t control yourself you can leave.”
The long-eyebrowed elder clearly held the most respected position among the five elders. Hearing that slim elder hurling abuse without listening to excuses and without the least elegance, he was also somewhat angry.
Something nobody expected happened. Tang San suddenly faced the slim elder, slamming his head against the ground three times,
“I’m sorry, seventh elder. I will apologize on behalf of my father for the mistakes he made back then. However, your true enemy should be Spirit Hall, not us.”
As he spoke, Tang San’s expression seemed very sincere, and his three head knocks were also very heavy. As he raised his head once again, there was already a wisp of blood on his forehead.
In fact, with the durability of his skin, he had clearly had to be extremely forceful to damage it like this, and moreover without using a trace of spirit power to protect himself.
The slim elder sneered:
“Can that make up for the pain of mourning my son? I’m not alone in suffering from Tang Hao’s actions, it’s the entire sect. If he knew he was wrong, he should return to apologize to the sect himself.”
Tang San stood, as if he hadn’t heard this seventh elder’s words, his originally sincere gaze abruptly turned severe,
“Even though I believe the sect’s matters can’t be completely blamed on my father, my father was after all also wrong, implicating the sect. Therefore I offer apologies to you. However, for your previous words disgracing my mother, I must ask for justice. Seventh elder, I challenge you, I won’t complain even in death.”
His words were unhesitating like chopping the nail and slicing the iron. Even though his appearance was handsome, his temperament refined, at this moment everyone in the Clear Sky School sensed that powerful and valiant air from Tang San.
The slim seventh elder stared blankly a moment,
“You want to challenge me?”
Tang San confirmed:
“Yes. Please advise me, seventh elder.”
“Hahahaha.”
The seventh elder laughed loudly and heartily, the spirit power fluctuations emanating along with the wild laughter seemingly making the entire Clear Sky School tremble,
“A junior like you still makes a challenge to me. If it was Tang Hao it might be appropriate.”
To the side, Tang Yue-Hua secretly cursed in her heart, ‘If second brother was here, would you dare accept?’ But she saw that Tang Xiao next to her never spoke up, leaving it for Tang San to handle himself, and naturally also didn’t say anything.
Part 2 (TL by Bagelson)
She knew that it wasn’t that her big brother as sect master was unable to contend with the elders, but rather a chance Tang Xiao gave Tang San, and also an opportunity to test Tang San’s capability.
Tang San quietly watched the seventh elder, calmly saying:
“Don’t you dare?”
Just these three words were like a slap in the seventh elder’s face, his laughter coming to a sudden stop. As one of Clear Sky School’s five elders, this seventh elder had an extremely high position in the sect. Even if Tang Xiao would to let him, now being provoked by a junior several generations younger, how could he endure?
Just as the seventh elder was about to speak up, the long-eyebrowed elder indifferently said:
“Youngsters may be proud to the bone, but they can’t be arrogant. You’ve never returned to the sect, and right now you still aren’t part of the sect, so I won’t punish you according to the sect rules. However, the sect won’t forget about you looking down on us. Where is Tang Hu?”
“Second uncle.”
A robust man around his forties walked out from the crowd. As he walked through the crowd, the third generation disciples automatically stepped out of his way, his position in the sect obvious.
The long-eyebrowed elder indifferently said:
“You exchange pointers with him. Even though the Clear Sky School has returned to live in seclusion, we still won’t be provoked by anyone.”
Clearly, he had never recognized Tang San as a member of the Clear Sky School.
A tiny voice reached Tang San’s ear,
“This Tang Hu’s strength isn’t inferior to mine, his spirit power has already reached the sixty fourth rank, be careful.”
The voice belonged to Tang Long. This seemingly boorish third generation chief had a very meticulous mind.
Somewhat shocking Tang San was that the long-eyebrowed elder unexpectedly looked towards Tang Long. It seemed he had also heard what Tang Long had said with his voice compressed to a string.
Tang San looked at the long-eyebrowed elder,
“Elder, if I win, will I be qualified to challenge the seventh elder?”
The long-eyebrowed elder glanced at him, his eyes calm as the vast ocean, this elder didn’t express the slightest bit of his aura on the surface, but Tang San seemed to sense that he was even more dangerous than his uncle Tang Xiao.
“You will.”
The seventh elder snorted disdainfully,
“Tang Hu. If you lose, I’ll shut you into closed door training for a year.”
Tang Hu didn’t say anything. Just the opposite from Tang Long’s wildness, this Clear Sky School third generation elite appeared very cold, his face level as water, his whole person exceptionally calm. Built tall but not thick, and without showing any mood fluctuations from the two elders’ words. Tang San knew that the opponent he was about to confront wasn’t easy to handle. The most outstanding disciple of what was once the world’s number one sect, how could he be easily dealt with?
“Tang Hu, sixty fourth ranked power attack system battle Spirit Emperor. Please.”
Making an inviting gesture to Tang San, Tang Hu was the very model of etiquette.
“Tang San, fifty ninth ranked control system battle Spirit King. Please.”
Tang San’s movements were graceful and natural, as if in harmony with the world. Tang Yue-Hua to the side couldn’t help smiling and nodding, this was all the result of her teaching.
As they heard Tang San reveal his spirit power level, all the Clear Sky School disciples couldn’t help being in an uproar. Tang San appeared much younger than Tang Hu. Even Tang Long was thirty when break
ing through the sixtieth rank.
“Wait a moment, kid, how old are you this year?”
The previously clamoring seventh elder suddenly asked.
Tang San turned his head to look at him. Even though he didn’t have any good impression of this seventh elder, when he thought of his pain of mourning his son, he could still somewhat understand his mood,
“Just turned twenty.”
The surroundings quieted down. The facial muscles of Tang Hu standing across from Tang San twitched slightly. Before Tang San arrived at the sect, even though Tang Yue-Hua wasn’t modest in bragging about him, it was still only limited to Tang Xiao as well as Tang long and his closest several third generation subordinate disciples. The elders and the other third generation disciples naturally didn’t know his circumstances. What Tang Xiao wanted was for Tang San to shock everyone today.
Just turned twenty. These few words alone simultaneously moved the five elders. The five looked at each other, inwardly all making some judgements.
Originally, Tang Hao was already a genius difficult to find in a hundred years in the Clear Sky School. This son of his seemed to be even more outstanding than he was back then.
Twenty years old and fifty ninth rank. Further adding a Deathgod Domain, he really did have the capital to be arrogant.
The long-eyebrowed elder waved a hand, saying:
“Begin.”
Spirit power level was admittedly important, but it didn’t stand for everything. To say nothing of that Tang Hu was still one level higher than Tang San, one more spirit ring. The higher the level of the Spirit Master, the greater the strength difference of one spirit ring. Furthermore, Tang Hu’s spirit was the Clear Sky School’s exceptional top rate tool spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer. He didn’t believe that Tang San could make up the difference between him and Tang Hu with a Deathgod Domain.
Black light sparkled, and Tang Hu’s aura abruptly became grave. Within the rich black rays of light, a black Clear Sky Hammer with a three meter long handle and head the size of a bucket appeared within the dense black light in his right hand. Two yellow, two purple, two black, six spirit rings appeared neatly arrayed over the Clear Sky Hammer.
