Chapter 99: Such an Evil Sect Already Has a Path to Death!
With several Titled Douluo clearing the way, Jiang Li and the others returned to Heaven Dou City many times faster than when they left.
However, the uncontrollable joy on everyone's faces froze the moment they stepped into the Tang Sect base.
The anticipated scene of bustling cultivation did not appear; instead, white funeral banners fluttered everywhere, and a heavy, suffocating sorrow filled the air.
"What's going on?"
Tang San's brow furrowed, a faint, bad premonition rising in his heart.
Seeing the Sect Master and Grand Elder return, the Disciple guarding the gate seemed to have finally found his pillar of support. He collapsed to his knees with a thud and began to wail loudly.
"Wuwuwu, Sect Master! Grand Elder! You're finally back!"
"What happened?"
The gate-guarding Disciple quickly composed his grief and slowly gave a general account of the events.
"Just a few days ago, Tang Lie and Tang Ba from the Clear Sky Sect forced their way through the mountain gate. They not only injured many of our brothers but even... even to force us to submit, they brutally hammered Hall Master Tai Tan to death!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this news, Yang Wudi and Niu Gao's faces instantly turned ashen, and a terrifying killing intent erupted uncontrollably from their bodies.
Although they hadn't gotten along with that Old Gorilla who only knew how to be a lickspittle for the Clear Sky Sect since their reunion at the Tang Sect, he was still an old brother they had known for decades. Hearing that he had died at the hands of the Clear Sky Sect he was most loyal to, the irony and desolation made them both fly into a rage.
A flash of shock crossed Tang San's eyes, followed immediately by an unspeakable fury.
Although he had previously discussed with his Master how to make Tai Tan's death more valuable, he never expected that Tai Tan wouldn't die at the hands of his unfilial father, but rather at the hands of those filthy-blooded people from the Clear Sky Sect.
While this could be considered a lucky stroke, as the saying goes, one must look at the Master before beating the dog.
The evil Clear Sky Sect had bypassed his and his beloved Master's calculations and acted directly. They clearly didn't respect them at all; this was simply a path to death!
"Little San, as the Sect Master, you need to make a statement."
Jiang Li's voice echoed in Tang San's Sea of Consciousness. Such an opportunity had to be seized firmly.
Tang San gave an imperceptible nod, and his face instantly took on an expression of extreme grief and indignation.
"The evil Clear Sky Sect is simply going too far!"
"Everyone, we will discuss other matters later. For now, please follow me to pay our respects to Hall Master Tai Tan."
Tang San said to Yang Wudi and the others behind him.
...
In the mourning hall.
Tang San solemnly offered a stick of incense to Tai Tan. Looking at Tai Nuo, who seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and the hate-filled Tai Long, he heavily patted their shoulders.
"The two of you, please restrain your grief."
"Hall Master Tai Tan died to uphold the dignity of my Tang Sect. I, Tang San, swear that I will make the Clear Sky Sect repay this blood debt a hundredfold!"
"Especially you, Tai Long. You must Cultivate well in the future. Both my Master and I think highly of you."
Hearing Tang San's encouragement, a look of determination flashed in Tai Long's eyes.
"Sect Master, Grand Elder, I understand. This debt, I and the Disciples of our Strength Hall will eventually settle with the Clear Sky Sect!"
After comforting the Disciples of the Strength Hall, an emergency meeting of the Tang Sect's upper management was held in the discussion hall.
Besides the Hall Masters and elite Disciples of each hall, Dugu Bo and his Granddaughter were also seated to the side.
Everyone basically had a tacit understanding of what the final result of this meeting would be.
However, as for how exactly to retaliate against that evil Sect, that required Tang San, as the Sect Master, to devise a plan.
"Sect Master, the Clear Sky Sect was, after all, once the number one Sect in the world with deep foundations. Should we..."
A Soul Saint, who originally belonged to the Nine Heart Begonia Family head, spoke up hesitantly.
Jiang Li, who had been resting with his eyes closed next to the main seat, suddenly opened them, a contemptuous curve hooking his lips. "A mere Clear Sky Sect, and you want my Tang Sect to avoid their edge?"
"Everyone, stop holding back. Let these youngsters who haven't seen the world see what true deep foundations look like."
As soon as he finished speaking—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three suffocatingly vast and terrifying auras erupted in the hall without warning!
The first to stand up was Yang Wudi.
The Soul Breaking Spear in his hand let out a clear, sharp hum, and nine Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—rose from beneath his feet!
"I am Yang Wudi, Hall Master of the Medicine Hall, a Level 94 attack system Titled Douluo, Title: Soul Break!"
Next was Niu Gao. A heavy, earthy yellow light enveloped his body, and nine Soul Rings similarly shone. "I am Niu Gao, Hall Master of the Defense Hall, a Level 94 defense system Titled Douluo, Title: Savage Rhino!"
Then, the always refined Ye Renxin also smiled as he released the Nine Heart Begonia, capable of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh on bone. Nine Soul Rings complemented each other: "Ye Renxin of the Nine Heart Begonia, a Level 92 healing system Titled Douluo, Title: Nine Treasures!"
Add to that the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo sitting to the side, and Jiang Li, whose aura was unfathomable, sitting on the main seat.
...
Looking at these five powerhouses emitting world-destroying auras, all the Tang Sect Disciples in the hall were stunned. Their mouths hung open, and even their breathing seemed to stop.
Unknowingly, their Tang Sect had actually come to possess five whole Titled Douluo?!
Especially the Disciples of the original four great clans; seeing their own leaders become Titled Douluo with 100,000-year soul rings, they were so excited they couldn't find their bearings!
Things were looking up! Everything was looking up!
"The Grand Elder is right! A mere Clear Sky Sect, and they want my Tang Sect to avoid their edge?"
Someone suddenly roared this out, and the other Disciples seemed to be infected, venting their emotions.
"Trample the Clear Sky Sect! Avenge Hall Master Tai Tan!"
"That's right! I've been annoyed with those Clear Sky Sect people for a long time. What kind of things are they?"
"..."
Seeing his two old brothers have such massive improvements, it would be a lie to say Bai He wasn't envious.
Of course, he also knew that because his relationship with the Clear Sky Sect was too complicated, he was excluded this time.
However, thinking about how Jiang Li had brought a transformative improvement to his Granddaughter Bai Chenxiang, Bai He felt at peace.
In other words, Jiang Li had been impartial; it was just that Yang Wudi and the others gained the present, while their Speed Clan gained the future.
Looking at the impassioned Tang Sect crowd below, Tang San slowly stood up from the main seat and said deliberately,
"As the saying goes, if others do not provoke me, I will not provoke them."
"Now the Clear Sky Sect has attacked our mountain gate without cause, brutally killed a Tang Sect Elder, and insulted our Tang Sect Disciples. Such bullying behavior is simply evil to the extreme!"
"Such an evil Sect already has a path to death!"
