Chapter 53: Farewell to the Ye Family, The Terror of Qian Daoliu
After Qian Xunji led the Spirit Hall members away, the Clear Sky Sect disciples left on the soul arena, staring at each other, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Tang Xiao spoke first.
"Great Elder, did I bring trouble to our Clear Sky Sect? That Pope of Spirit Hall doesn't seem willing to reconcile with us."
As he spoke, he helped up the heavily injured Tang Hao beside him. Seeing Tang Hao suffering from both physical and mental blows earlier, he acted on impulse and attacked Yun Yuan.
But now, it seemed the matter had escalated. Spirit Hall appeared determined to demand an explanation.
As one of the few in the Clear Sky Sect capable of rational thought, Tang Xiao naturally felt worried for the sect.
Hearing the concern in Tang Xiao's words, the Great Elder of the Clear Sky Sect laughed heartily and patted his shoulder.
"Xiao'er, don't worry. Our Sect Master is an Ultimate Douluo known as invincible on the continent. The name of Clear Sky resounds throughout the entire soul master world."
"Even Spirit Hall would not dare provoke us easily. At most, we'll compensate them with some treasures, and this matter will pass. There's no need for concern."
The Great Elder's words were full of confidence. With Tang Chen in their sect, they could intimidate the entire soul master world. Even if Spirit Hall's Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu came, so what?
Then, he looked at Tang Hao beside Tang Xiao, his expression turning serious, filled with concern.
"Xiao'er, the most important thing now is Hao'er's condition. Physical wounds are easy to recover from, but wounds of the heart are the hardest to heal."
"In the coming days, guide him well. Make sure he regains his former fighting spirit and passion. Hao'er is the future hope of our Clear Sky Sect."
The Great Elder valued Tang Hao highly. With Tang Hao's talent, he had the potential to step into the realm of an Ultimate Douluo like Sect Master Tang Chen in the future.
At that time, with two Ultimate Douluo in one sect, what a glorious sight that would be! It would elevate the Clear Sky Sect to another level. Even if they could not surpass Spirit Hall, the gap would not be large.
Seeing that the Great Elder had no worries, and recalling his grandfather's strength, Tang Xiao's concern gradually faded. His focus shifted to Tang Hao beside him, who had completely lost his fighting spirit.
As the Great Elder said, physical wounds were easy to heal, but if the wounds of the heart could not recover, it would affect Tang Hao's entire future cultivation.
After this incident, the competition among the upper three sects was suspended. No one had the mood to continue.
After the Clear Sky Sect left the arena, Ning Fengzhi walked up to his father, Ning Qingzhou, and asked:
"Father, how do you think this conflict between Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect will end?"
This was his doubt. There were already rumors on the continent that the Clear Sky Douluo was the strongest soul master on the continent.
Even Spirit Hall's Angel Douluo was said to be inferior in combat strength, though no one knew how much of that was true.
Seeing his son speculate about the strength of Ultimate Douluo, Ning Qingzhou lightly tapped his head and shook his own.
"Fengzhi, it's better for us to think less about matters concerning Ultimate Douluo. When power is not on the same level, any cleverness or schemes are meaningless."
At this point, Ning Qingzhou seemed to recall something and sighed again, his face full of helplessness.
"Fengzhi, do you know? Although our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect are both among the upper three sects, there are still differences between us. In front of the current Clear Sky Sect, our sect is no different from an ant."
"In the entire Douluo Continent, the only force capable of balancing the Clear Sky Sect is Spirit Hall, because only these two forces possess Ultimate Douluo."
Hearing his father's advice, Ning Fengzhi kept it firmly in mind. At the same time, he silently resolved that if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wished to grow stronger in the future, they must win over a powerful Titled Douluo.
…
Half an hour later, Yun Yuan appeared at the entrance of the Ye family residence.
After what had just happened, Qian Xunji originally wanted to take Yun Yuan back to Spirit Hall immediately. The fury in his heart was already difficult to suppress, and he was determined to demand an explanation from the Clear Sky Sect.
However, knowing he was about to leave Heaven Dou City, Yun Yuan decided to bid farewell to Ye Qingxian and Ye Zhiyun.
One was a friend who was both teacher and companion; the other, a caring elder sister figure who had accompanied him for half a year. After returning to Spirit Hall, their next meeting might be years away.
"You're leaving?"
After hearing Yun Yuan's explanation, Ye Qingxian looked at him with a hint of reluctance.
"Mm. Sister Qingxian, Aunt Zhiyun, I came today to say goodbye. We'll meet again someday. Also, thank you both for helping me so much over the past six months."
Hearing this, Ye Qingxian's lips moved slightly, but in the end, she said nothing, only gazing at Yun Yuan.
Beside her, Ye Zhiyun looked at the youth who was both her student and friend. Though she felt reluctant, as the head of the Nine Heart Begonia family, she had strong control over her emotions.
"Xiao Yuan, we'll meet again."
Before parting, she gave Yun Yuan a farewell embrace, then watched as he left the Ye residence.
...
Spirit City, Douluo Hall.
The moment Qian Xunji returned to Spirit City, he headed straight for the Douluo Hall. If he wanted to demand an explanation from the Clear Sky Sect, this matter had to be known and approved by his father, Qian Daoliu.
Otherwise, with Spirit Hall's current strength alone, it would be impossible to make that person from the Clear Sky Sect bow his head. In the entire Spirit Hall, only Qian Daoliu could make Tang Chen take things seriously.
As for the other soul masters, Qian Xunji admitted to himself that in Tang Chen's eyes, they were no different from insignificant ants.
Let alone making the Clear Sky Sect bow, even meeting Tang Chen would be difficult. Below the level of Ultimate Douluo, all were ants.
After Qian Xunji entered the Douluo Hall, deep within the hall, Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes. He had already sensed Qian Xunji's arrival.
However, what puzzled him was that Qian Xunji seemed to carry overwhelming anger within him.
After a while, Qian Xunji arrived before him.
"Xunji, what matter brings you here? You seem quite furious."
Qian Daoliu spoke calmly, waiting for an explanation. The six other worship elders beside him also turned their gaze toward Qian Xunji.
"Father, uncles, it's like this…"
Facing Qian Daoliu's inquiry, Qian Xunji slowly recounted everything that had happened in Heaven Dou City. He did not exaggerate anything but spoke truthfully.
As time passed and they listened to his account, Qian Daoliu and the other six worship elders fell into silence.
Sometimes, such silence was the calm before a storm.
Sure enough, in the next moment, angelic soul power burst from Qian Daoliu's body. The pressure unique to an Ultimate Douluo spreads out instantly.
The floor of the Douluo Hall cracked under the force of his soul power, and the overwhelming pressure even rendered Qian Xunji, a Titled Douluo, unable to move.
'So this… is the strength of an Ultimate Douluo, even after experiencing it so many times?'
'Father, I truly hope that one day, I can reach your realm.'
