One by one, these people completely lacked the dignity of being an Elder of the Clear Sky Sect.
The God of Slaughter standing beside Tang Chen observed them with a look of mockery, finally fixing his gaze on Tang Chen.
It was as if he was reminding him to get down to business.
"Trash, every single one of you is trash! What are you even saying?"
"Is this how you lead the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Fallen Soul Masters? Spirit Hall?"
"The current Clear Sky Sect needs to rely on the name of the Spirit Hall just to survive?"
"Are you worthy of the Clear Sky Sect's predecessors?"
Hearing the words of the Elders and sensing the God of Slaughter's scrutiny, Tang Chen couldn't help but let his anger show. His eyes narrowed, and the spirit power around him surged, forming a terrifying pressure that bore down directly on the Titled Douluo Elders present.
His Clear Sky Hammer Spirit was revealed; he wished he could give each of them a direct blow right now.
To let them know what the Clear Sky Hammer was—the number one Tool Spirit under heaven.
His words were filled with disappointment, especially seeing the fearful and anxious expressions of these people.
He simply couldn't restrain himself.
If it were just a slight difference in strength, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But acting like this meant they had completely lost their temperament, and the arrogance and dignity of a Spirit Master were gone.
To put it harshly, they were like dogs with broken spines, only capable of fawning and begging for mercy.
Actually, saying this was a bit unfair to them.
The main reason was that the successive incidents reported here had dealt a blow to their morale.
Tang Hao offended the Spirit Hall, forcing them to seal the Sect gates. Before they could even re-emerge, Tang Xiao offended the Blue Silver City, and the news alone indicated that they were completely incapable of resisting with the few remaining members of the Clear Sky Sect.
The only somewhat good news was that the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the Blue Silver City was not harmonious; otherwise, they might as well disband the Clear Sky Sect and just run away.
They were clear about Tang Xiao's strength; he alone could fight against all of them combined, let alone the Seventh Elder.
Since those two were dealt with without any resistance, unable even to flee, they figured their own fate wouldn't be much better.
Now looking at Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer.
The Elders of the Clear Sky Sect reacted, some showing delight, having already realized something.
Others were dumbfounded, mouth agape, not knowing what to say, but feeling relieved.
In any case, their current emotions were a mixture of shock and joy.
" ... "
"Is that the Clear Sky Hammer???"
"Are you a member of the Clear Sky Sect?"
"You are not from Blue Silver City?"
"You, are you Tang Chen?"
"The former, former, former Sect Master Tang Chen?"
Since he possessed the Clear Sky Hammer, he was very likely a member of their Sect.
Having also heard Tang Chen's tone of deep disappointment, the Elders present also clearly observed Tang Chen's condition.
Observing Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer and his distinctive appearance, the Second Elder examined him closely and became somewhat certain.
Although the other party's appearance had changed somewhat due to the Nine Headed Bloody Crimson Bat King, making him look quite sinister, his facial features were still somewhat recognizable.
The Second Elder hadn't noticed before because he had been prejudiced by his initial assumptions, and besides, he hadn't seen him for many years.
At that time, he was still quite young.
With the Second Elder's confirmation, the others also recognized a bit of Tang Chen from their vague memories.
This was great news for them.
Tang Chen, even in the history of the Clear Sky Sect, was a famous and supremely powerful existence.
Back then, he and Qian Daoliu were known as the Twin Peaks, and he was even considered superior to him.
This was the confidence they had in being the premier Sect.
"Ancestor Tang Chen, you have finally returned."
"Are you Uncle Tang Chen? It really is you! The Clear Sky Sect is suffering greatly now."
"Eldest Uncle, we didn't want things to be this way."
"This is all trouble caused by Tang Hao and his brother."
"Exactly, it's that unfilial son Tang Hao! He didn't even return when the father of the former Sect Master passed away, and as soon as he appeared, he caused trouble for the Sect again, even getting the former Sect Master Tang Xiao killed."
"It was all them; they ruined the Clear Sky Sect..."
Various forms of address gradually emerged.
In truth, whether it was Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, or their father, they were all direct descendants of Tang Chen, and there were also other close direct descendants of Tang Chen present, though their strength was not as high.
Back then, Tang Chen's son had several brothers.
One by one, these old men, decades in age, were now acting like children, crying out and identifying their relationship with Tang Chen, hoping to cling to his powerful leg.
This scene left Tang Chen somewhat speechless.
He now had a rough understanding of the current situation.
But those were external matters; he wasn't very clear about the internal affairs of the Clear Sky Sect.
That was why he had rushed here directly.
He had originally hoped that this place could also become a source of assistance for him.
The result? This?
Tang Chen was deeply disappointed.
But he still listened carefully to the details of what had happened in the years since he left.
His own grandson killed Qian Daoliu's son, all for a Spirit Beast.
He didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, that fellow Qian Daoliu still had some sense of honor and did not break their agreement by acting rashly.
Later, his grandson provoked the Blue Silver City again, all because of a 100,000-Year Soul Beast.
These 100,000-Year Soul Beasts truly seemed fated with them.
Hearing this, even Tang Chen didn't know how to react.
The 100,000-Year Soul Beasts, which were rarely seen outside and usually hid themselves, seemed to appear casually beside his grandson as if they were worthless.
He didn't know whether to call them lucky or something else.
As for the Blue Silver City, which had only emerged in recent years, Tang Chen had learned a lot about it.
Most of the information came from the God of Slaughter.
As for the other powers, the other party did not say much.
"Alright, I know all about the situation now."
"The Clear Sky Sect will not continue like this."
Having heard what he wanted to know, Tang Chen had no interest in lingering with these individuals who were still complaining and shirking responsibility.
"As for the Blue Silver City, this won't be the end of it."
Of course, there was also the Spirit Hall. Since that old man Qian Daoliu upheld the agreement, he naturally wouldn't act rashly either.
Moreover, the Clear Sky Sect had benefited from the situation.
When the time comes, he would spar with Qian Daoliu again and let him know his current strength.
"Ancestor, since you have returned, please take the position of Sect Master."
"That's right, only you can lead the Clear Sky Sect now."
"The situation on the Douluo Continent is also very unique right now; this is precisely when we need you."
"Sect Master, Sect Master!!"
These old men were completely unable to bear the responsibility now, so they could only dump the matter onto the even older Tang Chen.
Listening to the clamor, Tang Chen felt annoyed. He hadn't expected his descendants to be such a group of people.
Not a single one was willing to take responsibility.
"I will temporarily take the position of Sect Master. Gather any talented children in the Sect later on, and we will cultivate a new Sect Master."
But considering that the Sect was still needed, and his feelings for it over the years couldn't be completely abandoned.
He still chose to cultivate someone to take over.
