Tang San was happily cultivating Guanyin Tears and Bodhi Blood in the secret chamber, eagerly anticipating the day he would seek Godhood Inheritance.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat as he sensed a powerful presence approaching Hao Tian Mansion.
Could it be that Evil Soul Master arriving just as he thought of him?
Without a second thought, Tang San leaped out of the secret chamber and into the courtyard.
Right behind him, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao also rushed out.
All three had detected someone approaching Hao Tian Mansion, and the other party was moving unhurriedly, brimming with confidence.
"Ning Zongzhu is coming with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo!"
"Jade Phosphor Crown is also on the way!"
"Other powerful figures from Heaven Dou are all heading here—have they all sensed it?"
The three of them continuously surveyed their surroundings, noticing the movements of these powerful individuals in Heaven Dou City.
Even Titan, Yang Wudi, Bai He, and Niu Gao from the neighboring mansion rushed over.
Then, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao froze.
Their expressions stiffened as they caught sight of the figure in the sky.
In an instant, Tang Hao’s eyes turned blood-red, while Tang Xiao’s face was streaked with tears.
Tang San, seeing his father and uncle’s unusual reactions, was also stunned. Who was that person in the sky with Dugu Feng? Such an overwhelming aura!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Four consecutive sounds echoed as Titan and the others rushed over and immediately knelt on the ground.
"You’ve returned!"
"Your Eminence has finally returned!"
"Wahhh!"
"Heaven has eyes!"
The four of them reacted intensely. Titan, having received Dugu Feng’s voice transmission first, rushed over without hesitation.
The surprise was so sudden that he nearly fainted.
As for Bai He and the other two, it went without saying. In their youth, Tang Chen had dominated the continent, and the Clear Sky Sect was at its peak.
Tang Chen was not only their sect leader but also their idol.
Later, when Tang Chen disappeared without a trace in search of Godhood, they still held onto great hope.
Though time gradually eroded that hope, and disappointment grew until Tang Chen became a forbidden topic for everyone, with most believing he would never return.
But today, unexpectedly, Tang Chen had reappeared.
The man once revered as a god had returned.
"Grandfather!"
"Grandfather!"
Two more cries of excitement and pain rang out as Tang Hao and Tang Xiao knelt down.
"Great-grandfather, Great-grandfather has returned?" Tang San followed his father’s lead and also knelt on the ground.
His heart was overwhelmed with shock. That was his great-grandfather!
Decades ago, Great-grandfather’s strength had already reached Level Ninety-Nine, the peak of Titled Douluo, hailed as Invincible on Land and revered across the continent. Such a legendary figure had actually returned.
With a soft sound, Tang Chen descended to the ground alongside Dugu Feng’s Emerald Dragon Snake.
He took a few steps forward, looking at the people before him, his eyes flashing with intense emotion.
Two grandsons, one great-grandson, and loyal subordinate sect leaders like Titan.
His great-grandson had also cultivated to the level of a Titled Douluo, already at Level Ninety-Four—something Dugu Feng hadn’t told him, likely because his Second Martial Soul had begun acquiring Spirit Rings.
"Xiao’er, Hao’er, my good children, you’ve suffered!" Tang Chen called out, his voice trembling.
When they left, they were still young. After so many years, both had reached their prime, though they appeared more weathered than their actual age.
"Grandfather! Xiao’er is incompetent, I have failed to lead the Clear Sky Sect well!"
Tang Xiao cried out in anguish, taking two steps forward and wrapping his arms around Tang Chen’s legs.
With so many upheavals and immense pressure over the years, Tang Xiao could no longer hold back, releasing all his pent-up grievances.
As for Tang Hao, he too hung his head, tears streaming down his face.
Tang Chen patted Tang Xiao’s shoulder and sighed, "I know, I know everything.
Xiao’er, you have suffered all these years. The burden of the Clear Sky Sect rested on your shoulders, and you have done well. I am proud of you!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao’s sobs grew louder, tears falling uncontrollably.
When Tang Chen was still in the Clear Sky Sect, he had held the highest hopes for Tang Hao, believing he would become the sect’s leader. Yet, in times of crisis, it was Tang Xiao who shouldered the responsibility.
For Tang Hao, Tang Chen felt a trace of disappointment—not only because he had wallowed in despair for over a decade after encountering setbacks, but also because his Slaughter God Domain had failed to evolve.
By the timeline, his grandson had possessed the Slaughter God Domain for quite some time. Had he dedicated himself to cultivation, the Slaughter God Domain would have long since evolved into the Asura Domain.
If that were the case, he could have seamlessly inherited the results of his own God Test. Unfortunately, Tang Hao’s Slaughter God Domain was far from reaching that level.
"Hao’er, lift your head!" Tang Chen said sternly.
"Grandfather!" Tang Hao looked at Tang Chen with shame, fully aware of how highly his grandfather had once regarded him. Yet now, his cultivation had not even surpassed his elder brother’s.
He had also brought such great trouble upon the Clear Sky Sect. For a moment, Tang Hao was overwhelmed with shame.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" Tang Chen asked calmly.
"Grandfather, Hao’er had no choice..." Tang Xiao quickly interjected in defense.
"Elder brother, don’t speak for me. I know my mistakes well. I made enemies for the sect and caused Father’s death because of me," Tang Hao said, his eyes reddening.
"Nonsense!"
Tang Chen’s angry shout cut Tang Hao off.
"Qian Xunji deserved to die. That was not your fault. Your only mistake was not being strong enough, and the despondency you fell into after facing hardship.
Over twenty years ago, you were already a Titled Douluo, with a 100,000 Year Soul Ring as your Ninth Soul Ring! And now? You have made almost no progress.
The Hao’er I remember was a prodigy, a rare talent of the Clear Sky Sect, not someone so mediocre!"
Tang Chen spoke with heartfelt pain, genuinely distressed that Tang Hao had squandered his immense talent—both his aptitude for Soul Power cultivation and the opportunity bestowed by the Slaughter God Domain.
Tang Hao was stunned. He had thought Tang Chen blamed him for his union with A Yin and for the impulsiveness of his youth.
But it turned out that was not the case. His grandfather still stood by him.
Yet Tang Hao felt even more ashamed. Back then, he had indeed fallen into despair. Witnessing the formidable strength of the Spirit Hall, he believed no amount of cultivation could ever allow him to contend with them.
During that time, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol, wasting precious years that could have been spent cultivating.
Chastised by his grandfather, Tang Hao grew timid and dared not speak.
"I have just returned from Spirit City!" Tang Chen added.
"Grandfather, did you go to seek vengeance for us?" Tang Xiao asked hopefully, while Tang Hao, Bai He, and the others widened their eyes in anticipation.
Tang Chen nodded. "You have suffered injustice. How could I not stand up for you?"
Bibi Dong was severely injured by me. If she hadn’t escaped quickly with her Divine Tool, she would already be dead.
Qiandao Liu has also been warned by me and dares not make any move.
From now on, with the Clear Sky Sect unsealed, let me see who dares to target the Clear Sky Sect!"
Tang Chen declared with domineering authority.
His words invigorated the scene. The Clear Sky Sect had finally awaited such a day.
With Tang Chen’s return as a king, he was undoubtedly the strongest on the continent. Who could possibly stand against the Clear Sky Sect from now on?
