"Yes, with your return, the Clear Sky Sect will rise to an even higher level."
"The mighty Clear Sky Sect cannot be defeated."
"Forget about Spirit Hall or Blue Silver City, the Clear Sky Sect will let them know what the number one Sect is truly like."
"With your return, can we finally emerge from seclusion now?"
"..."
With Tang Chen's appearance, the shattered confidence of those old men was slowly being restored.
After all, they had been the number one Tool Spirit for so many years.
Now their strongest Sect Master had appeared.
Naturally, they felt assured.
They were also eager to emerge from seclusion.
"There is no need to keep the Sect closed off anymore."
"I will deal with Spirit Hall myself. Spread the news of my return; that guy Qian Daoliu will understand."
Tang Chen did not pay attention to their shouting of slogans.
He told them to spread the news.
And to determine the candidate for the next Sect Master.
He knew his own situation; he would definitely be preparing for godhood later on.
If he succeeded, he would not be able to stay for long, and if he failed, there was even less need to mention it.
Therefore, he needed to leave a pillar behind for the Clear Sky Sect, someone who could support the Sect.
Not this group of old men who had lost their confidence.
"Yes."
"Sect Master, we will go handle it right away."
"I will arrange a place for you to rest."
"I..."
Fortunately, these old men were very quick when it came to trivial matters.
They immediately selected personnel and arranged Tang Chen's residence.
The news of Tang Chen's return quickly spread within the Sect, and they planned to open the gates, letting everyone else know that the strongest Clear Sky Sect was coming.
As for whether Tang Chen would fear the Blue Silver King, they did not have to worry about that.
Their Sect Master did not even fear Qian Daoliu, who was known as invincible in the sky. Why would he fear a 'rising star'?
?
The minor tasks brought liveliness back to the Clear Sky Sect and helped them regain some dignity.
The identity of the God of Slaughter was not introduced to the others; Tang Chen did not have the face for that, so he was arranged in a separate courtyard next to him.
"This is the only environment available right now."
"You will have to make do with it."
The two had been in contact for several days before, and their relationship seemed quite equal, so Tang Chen spoke simply.
"I have stayed in much harder places when cultivating before; this is already quite good."
"Those guys might not be useless if you train them a bit, and the cannon fodder from Slaughter City can also be helpful."
"As long as you are not careless, I will secretly take action as well. Dealing with a Blue Silver King is not a problem."
The God of Slaughter had a very favorable attitude toward Tang Chen, as, barring any accidents, they would be colleagues in the future.
"Understood, I will not be careless."
"I will do my utmost."
Tang Chen nodded directly.
He still held a bit of reverence for the gods and naturally would not underestimate them.
He also knew about the enemy; he was the inheritor chosen by another god.
Similar to him.
Therefore, he needed to defeat the opponent to gain faith, destiny, and successfully achieve godhood.
If he had to defeat a god, he might not be confident.
But as long as it was a Spirit Master, Tang Chen still had his own arrogance.
He did not even fear Qian Daoliu, let alone an old relic who only broke through to Titled Douluo at the age of 150.
Perhaps the opponent truly had some hidden methods, but under his Clear Sky Hammer, it would only be a fleeting moment.
Moreover, he could briefly control the Asura God Sword of the Asura God.
Although he had basically been abandoned by the Asura God now, he had still gained some authority during the previous God Trials.
With matters basically settled, the Clear Sky Sect quickly opened its gates, and the news spread on its own.
Initially, the other major powers were surprised that the Clear Sky Sect dared to emerge at this time. Were they not afraid of Blue Silver City or Spirit Hall coming to cause trouble for them?
After all, the two strongest forces currently known to the public both had grievances with them.
However, before anyone could form other ideas, the news that Tang Chen was alive and had become the new Sect Master spread.
Furthermore, they had already sent word demanding that Blue Silver City pay the price and give an explanation.
Tang Chen was a level ninety-nine super Douluo back then.
Given the strength of a Titled Douluo, if he had not been killed, it was naturally impossible for him to have perished early.
The previous rumors that he had been killed by Qian Daoliu were now self-refuting.
This also forced people to re-examine this former number one Sect in the world.
"This Clear Sky Sect truly hid themselves deeply."
"This is going to be interesting now, a tripod standoff: Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, and Blue Silver City."
"Why do I feel like Blue Silver City has now become the weakest party, especially since they have so many tempting Spirit Beasts and Spirit Bones?"
"We don't know yet. I heard the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is very close to them, so they might not be the weakest."
"The two great super Douluo have been the strongest for decades, and their current strength is unfathomable. The Blue Silver King cannot compare to them."
"Although the Blue Silver King is inspiring, and we have to admit his strength, when it comes to talent and power, he definitely cannot match the two strongest peaks of the Continent back then."
Just a few days after the news broke, the Clear Sky Sect attracted many people seeking information, and even some forces that were previously affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect came knocking to pledge allegiance.
The reason was simple: Tang Chen's reputation was too strong.
The previous Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were figures who could not be compared with him at all.
The Douluo Continent was turbulent, and the news spread rapidly. When Ning Fengzhi, who had already returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, received the news, his expression was somewhat stiff.
He did not know what to say.
"Fengzhi, you might not be familiar with that Tang Chen, but his strength is truly terrifying."
"If it were just Qian Daoliu alone, all the major powers combined with Blue Silver City might be able to resist, but if you add Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect, Blue Silver City might be vulnerable."
Although Bone Douluo did not want to discourage him, he still explained the situation clearly.
When he was traveling the Continent back then, Tang Chen was already a prominent existence.
Although he later disappeared, he remained a great mountain in their hearts.
"I understand, I just didn't expect him to emerge at this time."
"Alas, Sword Uncle, do you think I might have made another mistake?"
Ning Fengzhi thought about how, just before the Clear Sky Sect announced Tang Chen's appearance, he was still communicating with Lan Tian in Blue Silver City.
They had basically reached a cooperation agreement, a deep cooperation, along with people from the Heaven Dou Empire and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Later, even the Star Luo Empire showed interest.
The goal was to prevent Spirit Hall from becoming too strong. Their cooperation was also due to concerns about Blue Silver City acting recklessly, so the other parties had reluctantly reached a consensus.
For them, having a consensus meant they would not be swallowed up without warning, but with the Clear Sky Sect making such a move, the pressure increased significantly. It was possible that if the Clear Sky Sect had any connection with Spirit Hall, their flimsy little alliance could be instantly destroyed.
Could it be that the consensus, just reached, had to be canceled, betrayed??
