"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Seventh Uncle…" Tang Hao cast a bitter glance at the three men brimming with murderous intent. Feeling the fierce, violent killing aura radiating from them, Tang Hao knew in his heart that these uncles would not let him go easily.
"So it seems you are determined to fight me."
"That's right!" the Seventh Elder roared. "Fourteen years ago, you cursed beast, you drove your own father to his death and were responsible for the death of my son!"
"Fourteen years later, you still show no remorse! You brought the calamity of Spirit Hall upon the Clear Sky Sect once again, leading to the deaths of your Fifth and Sixth Uncles. Even your elder brother lost an arm because of your actions! The sect has paid a terrible price because of you!"
"Tell me! As an elder of the Clear Sky Sect, how could I not demand justice for our fallen clansmen? Tang Hao, if you have a shred of conscience left, come back with me to the sect and take your own life in atonement!"
"I…"
Experiencing the pain of being abandoned by his own kin, for a fleeting moment, Tang Hao truly wished to end his life in repentance. But the thought of Ah Yin and his son, Tang San, rekindled his resolve, and he shook his head slightly.
"No! I cannot die yet. I have more important things to do!"
"Very well! Since you remain unrepentant, allow your Seventh Uncle to send you on your way!"
As he spoke, the Seventh Elder erupted with an overwhelming surge of spirit power, unleashing a violent gust of wind that howled toward Tang Hao.
His second spirit ring flared. "Second Soul Skill—Hammer Spirit Control!"
The Seventh Elder's muscles swelled as his body grew more imposing, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand expanded to a colossal size. With a mighty swing, he brought it crashing down on Tang Hao.
But Tang Hao had no wish to fight his uncle. Activating a self-enhancing soul skill, he leaped into the air and swiftly retreated.
Seeing Tang Hao try to flee, the Seventh Elder refused to let him escape and immediately gave chase.
Feeling uneasy, the Second Elder instructed the Third Elder to stay behind and protect Tang Yuehua and Dai Weisi, while he went to pursue Tang Hao and the Seventh Elder himself.
Watching Tang Hao clash with his uncle, Tang Yuehua's tears streamed down her face, her heart aching with sorrow.
Knowing how devastated she must feel after severing ties with Tang Hao, Dai Weisi pulled her into his embrace, silently offering his support.
Feeling the strength of his chest, Tang Yuehua could no longer hold back. She buried her face in his arms and cried freely, like a young girl seeking comfort from her older brother.
Like a warm and caring brother himself, Dai Weisi gently soothed her as she wept.
After what felt like an eternity, Tang Yuehua finally raised her head. Noticing her tears had soaked his shirt, she spoke apologetically, "I'm sorry, Weisi. I… I must look ridiculous. I've drenched your clothes…"
"Haha, my dear wife, cry if you need to. I know you're in pain, and I will gladly bear all your bad moods. Besides, you looked very cute just now, crying and acting spoiled in my arms~"
With a grand gesture, Dai Weisi pulled her into an even tighter embrace. Remembering her earlier loss of composure, Tang Yuehua's cheeks flushed bright red with embarrassment.
"Speaking of which, my wife, I was truly moved earlier. You actually stood before His Excellency, the Clear Sky Douluo, disregarding your own safety. It seems my affection for you has not been in vain!"
"That's because I'm your wife…" Tang Yuehua blushed. Summoning her courage, she pressed a gentle kiss to Dai Weisi's cheek. He, bolder still, captured her lips with his own.
After this, Tang Hao's bond with the Clear Sky Sect was completely severed. The disciples would undoubtedly despise him, and the sect itself was destined to become a subordinate clan of the Star Luo Empire.
After a long, passionate kiss, their lips finally parted. Tang Yuehua's face was crimson as she forced herself to regain her composure.
"Weisi, let's head to the Xingyue Sect next. I will pass my position as Sect Master to our clansman, Tang Meng. He is bold yet meticulous and should manage the sect's affairs well."
Tang Meng was an assault-type Battle Spirit Douluo of rank eighty-one with the Clear Sky Hammer as his martial soul. He was the son of the Fifth Elder and also Tang Yuehua's cousin.
Tang Yuehua chose him not only for his competence but also to repay the Fifth Elder, who had sacrificed his life for the Clear Sky Sect.
"You arrange it, my wife. I trust you completely."
"Thank you, my husband." Tang Yuehua smiled sweetly, then added, "But I'm still worried. Spirit Hall must know of the ties between the Xingyue and Clear Sky Sects. They might not send an army, but what if they dispatch a Titled Douluo to assassinate Tang Meng? If he were to die, we would fail the Fifth Elder's memory!"
"Hmm…" Dai Weisi pondered for a moment before recalling the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo. "Here's the plan. I'm on good terms with Senior Dugu. I will ask him to serve as an honorary elder of the Xingyue Sect and visit from time to time. That should be enough to deter Bibi Dong.
"Afterward, I will also have Dean Lin come to assist Sect Master Tang Meng. That way, you won't have to worry about the sect's safety."
"Yes, that's an excellent plan! Weisi, you're always so thoughtful!"
"Then let's split up. I'll go to the Sunset Forest to find Senior Dugu, while you and the Third Elder head to the Xingyue Sect."
"Alright."
Tang Yuehua nodded. She wasn't concerned for Dai Weisi's safety. The Sunset Forest wasn't far from Heaven Dou City, and with his strength, not even Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo could stop him if he chose to leave.
The two immediately went their separate ways. Dai Weisi spread his Ice-Fire Twin Wings and flew toward the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well. To increase his speed, he even activated his right leg soul bone skill—Bloodthirsty Berserk.
Instantly, his speed doubled.
In less than an hour, he reached the Yin Yang Well. There, in the herb garden, Dai Weisi saw Dugu Bo calmly sipping tea.
Activating his Evil Ice-Fire Eyes, Dai Weisi saw that the "tea leaves" in the pot were actually poisonous herbs from the well itself.
Though boiling water neutralized some of the toxins, the remnants were lethally potent. This wasn't tea; this was the cultivation of a 'Gu' poison! By eliminating the less heat-resistant toxins, he was concentrating the deadliest ones, greatly enhancing his poison arts.
Sensing Dai Weisi's gaze, Dugu Bo was startled. With a wave of his hand, a jet of dark-green poison mist shot toward Dai Weisi!
"Heh." Dai Weisi smiled. Releasing his spirit power, he dove straight through the toxic fog and landed before Dugu Bo. Having consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, no poison could harm him.
"Congratulations on advancing your poison arts again, Senior Dugu!"
Dugu Bo sized up Dai Weisi, his expression turning to shock when he saw the deep crimson hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
"Tsk, tsk, young friend, you truly are a monster. I've seen a few hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, but a hundred-thousand-year seventh ring? I've only ever seen that on you!"
