by Tang Jia San Shao


  “Let’s go. We’ll go inside.”

  The fortress like stone buildings once again appeared in front of Tang San. Seeing this scene, Tang San couldn’t help drawing a deep breath. Returning this time was for a number of matters. He managed with difficulty to suppress his mood, making himself as calm and gentle as possible. He of course also wanted everything to be settled peacefully. Like that his father would also be accepted by the sect even easier. No matter how it was put, his father’s feelings for the sect were still so deep.

  When the two youths guarding the great gate saw Tang San, they couldn’t help showing shock. They had both seen Tang San, and back then Tang San had exhibited his power to the Clear Sky Sect, defeating the forty percent spirit power seventh elder, leaving these youths with a deep impression. Even though Tang Long and Tang Hu were always the leaders of the third generation, among these third and fourth generation disciples, Tang San was always known as the number one of the third generation.

  Therefore, they didn’t have the slightest thought of blocking Tang San when they saw him, stepping aside with somewhat admiring gazes.

  Entering the sect, Tang Yu said:

  “I’ll bring you to sit in the drawing room first, then I’ll immediately go inform the sect master.”

  Tang San nodded:

  “Fine, then I’ll trouble you.”

  Tang Yu laughed:

  “We’re brothers, don’t be polite. We all admire your strength! If there’s a chance, give me some pointers.”

  Tang San smiled without speaking. Tang Yi brought him to take a seat in a drawing room, then immediately turned and went to report.

  The drawing room was very large, enough for fifty people to talk business at the same time. Right now, Tang San’s thoughts couldn’t help being immersed in the grudges between his father and the sect.

  The business back then really was a disaster his father brought to the sect, but this was also only from a particular angle. Had his father done wrong? Protecting his wife, what was wrong in that? It was Spirit Hall that took out its anger on the Clear Sky School. Back then Tang San originally thought that it was a disaster his father brought the sect, and also once believed his father was duty bound to accept it. But over these years, undergoing so many experiences and coming into contact with Spirit Hall, he already understood that even if not for what happened then, Spirit Hall still wouldn’t have let the Clear Sky School get away.

  And at that time, the sect chose to withdraw rather than meet the attack. Clearly, Spirit Hall was extremely powerful, but according to what the single attribute four clan chiefs said, back then the Clear Sky School was also flourishing! If they could have joined forces with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School back then, Spirit Hall might not have dared act. Even if they did, the result wouldn’t have been any worse than now.

  Of the once top three of the seven great sects, now one was dead, one ruined, one hidden. The Clear Sky School really couldn’t escape responsibility. As the world’s number one sect, retreating the whole way only for the benefits of the sect itself, leaving Spirit Hall to expand even more unscrupulously, until today’s situation with the Spirit Empire turning their nose up at the Heaven Dou and Star Luo empires.

  From this point of view, what had had his father really done wrong back then? The sect not only declared it cut relations with his father, it still ended it with hiding. Those elders even mistakenly put the blame on his father. Could they really blame his father? For twenty five years his fathers had always lived in depression, and finally even mutilated himself to repay the sect’s favor of raising him.

  Thinking of this, Tang San couldn’t help clenching his fist. His father wasn’t wrong, the sect was. This thought spread uncontrollably in his mind.

  Just as he was pondering, suddenly, a soft sound of surprise echoed,

  “It’s you, you’re back?”

  Tang San raised his head to look, it was another familiar figure, one of the outstanding persons among the third generation disciples, Tang Long’s competitor for third generation chied, Tang Hu. He just stood outside the door looking at him.

  They hadn’t met for several years, and Tang Hu’s presence had become even more stable, truly like a fierce tiger with reserved vigor. Every movement seemed extremely calm. Light pulsed in his eyes, astonishment only flashing past, but deep in his eyes there was clear hostility.

  Tang San even now remembered his cute daughter Tiantian. Over the years, the back then thirteen or fourteen year old little girl should also have grown up into a young woman.

  “Hello, big brother Tang Hu.”

  Tang San stood. Etiquette couldn’t be abandoned, Tang San still regarded familial duty extremely seriously.

  Tang Hu entered the hall:

  “When did you get back?”

  Tang San said:

  “Just arrived.”

  Tang Hu nodded:

  “If there’s a chance, let’s compare notes.”

  Tang San also didn’t decline,

  “Fine, I’ll be ready at any time.”

  Tang Hu didn’t say anything else. Just when he prepared to leave, sounds of footsteps suddenly came from outside, and the present leader of the Clear Sky School, Tang Xiao entered accompanied by Tang Yi and Tang Long. Seeing Tang Hu here, Tang Xiao couldn’t help being a bit surprised, only, he didn’t pay attention to it now.

  “Little San, you’re finally back.”

  Tang San hurriedly stepped forward, falling to one knee,

  “Uncle, I’ve made you worry.”

  Tang Xiao grabbed him and pulled him up,

  “We’re family, no need to be so polite. You’re back from Seagod Island?”

  Hearing the words Seagod Island, whether Tang Long or Tang Hu, their eyes burst with light. These brothers looked at each other, their gazes colliding, neither yielding. Clearly, they hadn’t settled their competition in these years.

  Tang San naturally didn’t need to hide it from Tang Xiao. Back then it was Tang Xiao who advised him to go to Seagod Island.

  “Yes, I just returned from Seagod Island. Uncle, why did you come over personally? Calling me there is fine.”

  Tang Xiao laughed:

  “Can’t I be happy that you’re back? It’s good that you’ve returned, it’s good that you’ve returned.”

  Tang San asked:

  “Uncle, this time I’ve returned in hopes of offering rits for my grandfather. My father came too.”

  The originally still smiling Tang Xiao’s expression instantly froze, fiercely grabbing Tang San’s shoulders,

  “What did you say? Little Hao came back too?”

  Tang Xiao’s expression was clearly excited, almost unable to control himself looking at Tang San, the rims of his eyes instantly reddening, his mood extremely unstable.

  Tang San said:

  “Yes, uncle. Dad came back to the sect with me this time, hoping to be recognized back in the sect and offer rites for grandfather.”

  Tang Xiao drew a deep breath, forcefully surpressing his mood,

  “Little San, do you still remember the requirements the elders raised for you back then?”

  Tang San nodded:

  “Of course I do. Three requirements. First, cultivate to rank eighty or higher, possessing Spirit Douluo level strength, second, obtain a hundred thousand year spirit ring, third, kill a Spirit Hall Title Douluo.”

  Tang Xiao said:

  “Then that means, you’ve already……”

  Tang San nodded again:

  “Yes, uncle. My father is still waiting outside the mountain, can you gather the elders now? You also know that dad severed two limbs, I don’t want to keep him waiting for too long.”

  Tang Xiao was a bit shellshocked by Tang San’s series of news, and Tang Long, Tang Hu and Tng Yu next to him looked even more startled at Tang San. By what Tang San said, he meant he already possessed Spirit Douluo level strength. How old was he? Twenty five, or twenty six? Already
Spirit Douluo? This, how was this possible?

  Tang Xiao looked Tang San over, and was shocked to discover that he actually couldn’t see through this nephew of his. He spoke in a hushed tone:

  “Little San, this isn’t a small matter. You also know how much your father’s business influenced the sect back then, an iron forged mistake, it’s no trifle! The ten years still haven’t finished, are you sure you’ve already finished the three requirements? Wouldn’t it be better for me to go see your father first?”

  Tang San frowned,

  “Uncle, was it really my father’s mistake back then? Even if it wasn’t for that, don’t tell me Spirit Hall would let our Clear Sky School off?”

  Tang Xiao looked distracted, anger immediately rising in his eyes,

  “Little San, do you know what you’re saying? Even though your father is my little brother, I still can’t protect him. If he hadn’t killed the Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff back then, how would Spirit Hall have turned against us lightly? This has already passed judgement long ago, the order to expel your father was passed down by your grandfather. This is a matter of great concern. You’re only a third generation disciple, if you say that in front of the elders, even you might…….”

  Tang San drew a deep breath, gazing at Tang Xiao:

  “I’m sorry, uncle, I was too impulsive. Only, I really have already completed the three requirements the elders gave me back then. I’ll still trouble you to convene the elders. They promised that if I could do these three things within ten years, not only would they let me offer rites to grandfather, they could also let my father return to offer rites.”

  Relying on his boundless level mental strength, Tang San’s abilities in the mental aspect were above even this maybe rank ninety seven uncle of his. He could deeply sense how excited his uncle was now, that was absolutely sincere emotions.

  Tang San once doubted even his uncle. After all, his father expelled from the sect, and his uncle was the one to benefit the most, and back then his uncle had also liked his mother, so he couldn’t rule out the possibility of jealous revenge. Even though he taught him the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, Tang San still couldn’t completely remove his vigilance towards his uncle. Only, when he returned this time his thoughts had changed. A person could feign his mood, could feign his strength, and also feign his manners. But mental fluctuations couldn’t be faked. Even though it was impossible for Tang San to see into Tang Xiao’s heart, when he spoke, and especially when he heard his father returned, his mental fluctuations and mood were completely unanimous, extremely sincere. That was a feeling of dense affection within pain. He wanted to see his father, but also didn’t want to see his father return to the sect to be censured by the elders and sect disciples, that Tang San could understand. It was also just because of this that his doubts towards Tang Xiao were completely removed. His father’s business had better be made clear before the sect elders.

  After Tang Xiao briefly muttered to himself, he slowly nodded,

  “Since that’s the case, then fine. Tang Long.”

  “Here.”

  Tang Long hurriedly answered respectfully.

  Tang Xiao said:

  “Pass on my command, convene the five elders in the drawing room to discuss affairs.”

  “Yes.”

  Tang Long answered, and hurriedly turn to leave. Before he left, he still thought to shoot Tang San a glance, a somewhat admiring gaze. Even though Tang Long still hadn’t had time to talk to Tang San, he was still enormously shocked that Tang San had already reached rank eighty. Only, he believed that Tang San absolutely wouldn’t be joking around with something like that.

  Before long, the five elders’ figures walked inside in a line. Just like back when Tang San once met the five elders, the second elder walked furthest ahead, and the seventh elder in the back. When they saw Tang San, they agreed by chance to reveal astonishment, looking at each other. Clearly, they had already guessed that Tang Xiao convening them would be related to Tang San.

  The first four elders directly walked up to the top four seats in the hall and sat down, only the seventh elder who once fought with Tang San stepped directly up to him, looking him over a few times:

  “You’re back. What? Were those three requirements too hard? You still have a few years left, work hard. Don’t lose face for our Clear Sky School.”

  Just at this moment, Tang San said something so universally shocking that even Tang Xiao and all the Clear Sky School elders’ expressions froze simultaneously.

  “Does the Clear Sky School still have any face to lose?”

  “What did you say?”

  The seventh elder closest to Tang San was instantly furious, a palm slapping towards Tang San’s face.

  Tang San softly waved the Seagod Trident in his right hand, just blocking the seventh elder’s palm as it struck. A muffled thump echoed. Tang San didn’t move a hair, but the seventh elder’s palm was bounced back when it hit the shaft. Fortunately he didn’t use his full strength, or he might have had to take a few steps back to catch his balance.

  “Little San, what nonsense are you saying?”

  Tang Xiao stepped up to Tang San in almost a single step. Even though he looked to be rebuking Tang San, he placed his body in between Tang San and the seventh elder.

  Right now, the other four elders had also all seen this, and glared at Tang San with the second elder in the lead.

  Tang San’s face was calm, speaking indifferently:

  “It’s not nonsense, it’s the truth. In the outside spirit master world, how many people still know of our Clear Sky School? If you mention the Clear Sky School, how would they evaluate it? Only as turtles pulling their heads inside their shell. Does the Clear Sky School still have any face?”

  “Enough.”

  Tang Xiao roared, one palm slapping towards Tang San’s face. This time, Tang San didn’t dodge, nor made any movement to resist, stiffly accepting Tang Xiao’s slap.

  Only, Tang Xiao’s slap only turned his face sideways. With the Seagod Trident as anchor, Tang San wasn’t moved away. Also, while Tang Xiao seemed furious, his slap only used ten percent strength.

  A wisp of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but Tang San didn’t make a move to wipe it away, on the contrary raising his left hand and extending three fingers,

  “Today, I have altogether three matters here. The first, to prove to the elders that I have already completed the three requirements you raised to me back then. The second, to offer rites to grandfather together with my father. The third, and also the most important one, I will prove to my father that what happened back then isn’t on my father. At the same time, I will also have the two spirit bones my father repaid the sect with.”

  “Impudent.”

  The good natured looking second elder finally spoke up, a severe powerful aura suddenly exploding from his body, suppressing Tang San from all directions. But shockingly, Tang San actually stood there confronting his pressure as if he didn’t even feel it.

  “Tang San, where do you think this is? How are you qualified to speak to us like that? Seventh, grab him. Sect master, you too have seen his conduct, I will first question him on the sin of disrespecting his elders.”

  The seventh elder roared, black light surging, the Clear Sky Hammer suddenly released. Just as he was about to move, Tang Xiao hurriedly blocked in front of him, shouting:

  “Hold on!”

  Tang San still seemed ungrateful, giving a cold laugh:

  “Want to fight me? Outside is fine.”

  While speaking, he pushed off the ground, flipping over with the golden trident in his hand, already leaving the room.

  Tang Xiao felt anxious,

  “Little San, you……”

  Before he finished, the seventh elder behind him was already in pursuit. Helplessly, Tang Xiao could also only step out, and the other four elders also followed close behind with a dangerous light flickering in their eyes.

  Tang San not only left the room, in a
few leaps he had already left the sect, arriving at the flat open space before the main gate. The seventh elder was extremely fast, he caught up in just the blink of an eye.

  “Kid, did you take the wrong medicine today?”

  The seventh elder shouted furiously.

  Tang San still had some good opinion of this straightforward elder, but today he was here for justice for his father, and naturally wouldn’t relent. He spoke in a low voice:

  “Seventh elder, I respect you as elder. But if you are determined to fight, don’t blame this junior for being impolite.”

  The seventh elder instead laughed with anger,

  “Good kid, I see you’ve grown your wings. I want to take a look at just how impolite you can be.”

  Back then he lost to Tang San. Even though he only used forty percent of his spirit power, in his heart he was always unreconciled, Tang San was just a Spirit King back then. His palm still ached dully from the rebound when he slapped the Seagod Trident just now. In his burning anger, he had no intention of holding back, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand held tyrannical imposing manner, smashing straight at Tang San’s head.

  Tang San didn’t release his spirit. Facing the seventh elder’s Clear Sky Hammer, he retreated half a step, raising the Seagod Trident horizontally with both hands, shouting,

  “Start.”

  The moment the hammer and polearm met was also when Howling Sky Douluo Tang Xiao and the other four elders caught up. Seeing the seventh elder with nine glittering spirit rings smashing his Clear Sky Hammer towards the spiritless Tang San with the pressure of Mt Tai, Tang Xiao couldn’t help turning pale with fright. But now it was too late for even him to save him. He bitterly closed his eyes. Facing such an attack from a Title Douluo, without even releasing his spirit, Tang Xiao didn’t think there could be a second result for Tang San.

  Boom——

  A deafening explosion reverberated in the mountains. Cries of alarm came from behind Tang Xiao, and when he subconsciously opened his eyes, he was stupefied by what he saw.

  Chapter 270: Titan Firmament Breaker And Blue Sky Slowing God Claw

  Tang San still stood there, without being smashed to a pulp like he imagined. But the seventh elder was instead blasted away, violently spinning several turns in midair before landing far away. Once his feet were on the ground, he still retreated several steps before forcefully catching his balance. His arms were clearly trembling.
