Chapter 96: Tai Tan 'Beaten to Death' by Tang Lie
Tang Lie immediately put on the full airs of a master. Such an attitude caused everyone present, including Bai He, to feel angry, with the exception of Tai Tan.
Although they were all part of the Four Single-Attribute Clans, Bai He, after all, had a marital connection with the Clear Sky Sect. Logically, no matter what, the Clear Sky Sect shouldn't treat their Speed Clan as Clan Servantss as well, right?
The scene fell into a strange silence for a moment.
Finally, Tai Tan could not suppress his desire to return to the Clear Sky Sect. He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Reporting to the Sixth Elder and Seventh Elder, I do not know where the Sect Master and Grand Elder went with Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Ye Renxin some time ago."
"However, calculating the time, this Subordinate guesses they should be back soon?"
Regarding their own Sect Master's behavior, the Disciples of the Strength Clan were frustrated by his lack of ambition.
Even Tai Long, as his grandson, felt a bit like a stranger looking at his grandfather.
Wasn't it good to follow the Sect Master and Grand Elder to become bigger and stronger?
Why was his grandfather still so keen on returning to the Clear Sky Sect to be a lowly servant with no status?
" Sect Master, Grand Elder, please come back and deal with this rebellious grandfather of mine!"
Tai Long thought to himself.
Tang Lie finished listening to Tai Tan's report and began to think pensively.
At the same time, his gaze turned toward the group of somewhat unfamiliar people behind the Disciples of the Breaking and Defense Clans.
Don't be fooled by his fiery temper and his image as a brute who only knows how to swing a great hammer.
Hearing what Tai Tan said, combined with the situation on the scene, he immediately realized that the Nine Heart Begonia Family had joined the Tang Sect.
In that case, didn't it mean the Nine Heart Begonia had become the Clear Sky Sect's Nine Heart Begonia?
A double blessing!
"Tai Tan, back when your Strength Clan hadn't left our Clear Sky Sect, you would call yourselves 'old slaves' with every breath. What, do you think that now that you've established a Tang Sect, you can change from slaves into Subordinates?"
Tang Lie asked with a half-smile.
To his surprise, Tai Tan actually straightened his back in a rare display, and a hint of pride even flashed in his eyes.
"Seventh Elder, I, Tai Tan, my Strength Clan, and even the Tang Sect behind me, previously had only one master, and that is Tang Hao!"
"If we are to be servants, we are only the servants of Master Tang Hao!"
"Of course, the current Sect Master of the Tang Sect is the master's son, and my loyalty, Tai Tan's loyalty, will not change."
"So Seventh Elder, if you want my Tang Sect to rejoin the Clear Sky Sect, in principle there is no problem, but we must return to the Clear Sky Sect together with the master and the Sect Master!"
Such an abstract speech instantly shattered the worldviews of those present. Even Tai Tan's grandson felt his vision go dark.
A ridiculous sense of family misfortune filled his entire body.
The Tang Sect Disciples present looked at Tai Tan with eyes that had become quite unfriendly. Their Tang Sect was clearly flourishing; why should they become a vassal to another Sect?
Moreover, Tang San had previously explicitly rejected Tang Yuehua's request. What did Tai Tan's abstract speech count for now?
However, such an answer struck Tang Lie's sore spot. In his eyes, Tang Hao was a sinner of the Clear Sky Sect who could never be allowed to return to the Sect in his lifetime.
And with the addition of the Nine Heart Begonia to the Tang Sect, its strategic value had naturally increased significantly.
So today, no matter what, he would bring the Tang Sect back under the control of their Clear Sky Sect.
"What a truly wicked slave! Since you are so ungrateful, then first endure a bit of this seat's fury on behalf of that beast Tang Hao!"
Tang Lie shouted in anger, and the Clear Sky Hammer was summoned into his hand.
Tang Ba's Soul Power also surged within him as he stood by to support his seventh brother.
Hearing someone insult his master, Tai Tan was naturally furious. He didn't care whether he, a Soul Douluo, could win against a Titled Douluo like Tang Lie; he simply charged forward after his Mighty Gorilla possessed him.
"What nerve! Seventh Soul Skill: Clear Sky True Body!"
Tang Lie's Clear Sky Hammer was the most special among the old fogies of the Clear Sky Sect. Not only did it possess the fire attribute, but it could also split into two after activating the Martial Soul Avatar.
He stepped forward and gave Tai Tan's head a brutal beating.
Tai Tan, who was being beaten to a pulp, tried to get his clansmen and Bai He to join the fight, but he was met only with indifference.
On the other side, having received a message from Bai Chenxiang, Dugu Bo hid in the shadows near the Tang Sect, watching everything coldly.
"Interesting. Wanting to take the entire Tang Sect to be servants for another house, wouldn't that mean finding a master for this old man as well?"
"In Kid Jiang's words, this Tai Tan simply has a way to seek death!"
Dugu Bo had always wanted to find an opportunity to repay Jiang Li, even though he knew he could never fully repay the kindness of helping him and his Granddaughter change their Heaven-Defying fates.
"Since Kid Jiang asked this old man to look after the Tang Sect before he left..."
Thinking this, he slowly released a colorless, odorless, but lethal poison, which drifted toward Tai Tan.
Soon...
Tai Tan, who was already disoriented from being struck by Tang Lie's great hammer, suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. He then felt as if his late grandmother was beckoning to him.
Then, as Tang Lie's hammer fell, Tai Tan was sent flying backward, crashing into the ground in the distance, completely dead.
"Old Gorilla!"
Bai He flashed to Tai Tan's side. Upon checking his breath, he found that his old friend of many years had actually died just like that.
Such a huge turn of events made him unable to help but take a few steps back.
Seeing this, the people of the Tang Sect were also stunned. Although Tai Tan was hell-bent on leading them back to the Clear Sky Sect to be slaves, at the end of the day, Tai Tan was the Hall Master of the Tang Sect's Strength Hall.
How to handle him in the future would be up to the Sect Master and the Grand Elder, rather than having him beaten to death at the entrance by an outsider!
"Damn it, these people from the Clear Sky Sect are simply going too far!"
"Exactly!"
"Waaaah, my grandfather!"
"..."
Tang Ba flashed to Tang Lie's side, looking at his old brother with surprise in his eyes.
"Old Seven, since when did your strength become so great?"
"Sixth Brother, I don't know either?"
Just then, Dugu Bo saw that the time was right and flashed above the Tang Sect.
The phantom of the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon flickered behind him, and nine orderly Soul Rings circled beneath his feet.
After several years of focused cultivation, his cultivation had long since reached level 95, making him a genuine Titled Douluo.
The pressure coming from a superior being couldn't help but make the hairs of Tang Lie and Tang Ba, those two sham Titled Douluos, stand on end.
They hadn't expected the Tang Sect to still have such an expert.
"People of the Clear Sky Sect, you actually killed an Elder of my Tang Sect in front of the Tang Sect residence. Are you trying to start a war with my Tang Sect?"
