After leaving the Four Element Academies, Yang Yuan found the camp where Xiao Chenyu and Wang Sheng were stationed.
Ever since the Star Luo Empire deployed troops at Jialing Pass, the various provinces of the Heaven Dou Empire had dispatched reinforcements in support. Xiao Chenyu and Wang Sheng had joined the support force from Fasinuo Province, hoping to earn some military merit for themselves.
After several years apart, the two were even more reserved and formal in Yang Yuan's presence than others.
After all, in their eyes, describing Yang Yuan as a figure from the heavens was not an exaggeration.
Moreover, as Fasinuo Province was one of Yang Yuan's fiefdoms, his reputation there was exceptionally prominent, known to almost everyone.
However, besides their formality, they also felt the joy of seeing a friend again and gratitude for the Cultivation TechniqueYang Yuan had left them.
Thanks to the Cultivation TechniqueYang Yuan had left them, combined with their bodies having been tempered and cleansed by him, their strength had advanced by leaps and bounds over the past six years.
Xiao Chenyu had progressed from level 19 to level 34, making him a minor expert.
Wang Sheng was more daring and aggressive than Xiao Chenyu, often living on the edge. Coupled with his own opportunities during these years, he had actually absorbed a thousand-year external Spirit Bone upon reaching level 30. He was now a level 39 Spirit Elder, a terrifying improvement.
Yang Yuan felt a sense of gratification regarding their experiences... Yang Yuan did not conceal his presence, so the news of his appearance at Jialing Pass quickly spread throughout the entire pass.
The Heaven Dou City side naturally saw a great boost in morale.
When this news reached the ears of the Star Luo allied forces outside Jialing Pass, it instantly sparked heated discussion.
Panic quickly spread among the troops, a wave of fear rapidly sweeping through the allied forces, completely uncontrollable.
Star Luo Allied Forces, Central Command Tent.
The area was bristling with weapons, the atmosphere stern, with countless neatly arrayed, armored knights guarding outside the tent.
Inside the great tent, no fewer than a hundred people were seated.
Among these hundred, some were generals from the Star Luo allied forces, others were kings of various kingdoms and dukedoms, and still others wore unified uniforms, representing Spirit Masters from some Sects within the Star Luo Empire.
The most conspicuous group, however, were the burly, bronze-skinned men seated below the head position.
Their presence even overshadowed the Star Luo Emperor seated at the head.
The reason for this was precisely their identity: they were Spirit Masters from the Clear Sky Sect, the leader of the Upper Three Sects.
The man at their head appeared to be in his fifties or sixties, his Aura exuding a profound solidity.
He was the current Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, the Howling Heaven Douluo, Tang Xiao.
His face was expressionless, but his mind was recalling the message his sister had sent not long ago.
It turned out that when Tang San was being hunted by the Spirit Hall, he fled northward from the Star Dou Great Forest. He eventually traversed the Star Dou Great Forest from the central region, passed through the Kingdom of Hagendas, crossed the Tianling Mountain Range, and finally escaped into Heaven Dou City.
With the Strength Clan's help, putting aside past grievances, and informed by Tai Tan, he also learned that he still had an aunt and an uncle alive.
Furthermore, his aunt was the master of the Moon Pavilion in Heaven Dou City.
He immediately infiltrated the Moon Pavilion under cover of night to meet Tang Yuehua and told her the news that his father had died at the hands of Yang Yuan, Sword Douluo, and Dugu Bo.
Initially, Tang San did not believe his father's death was related to Yang Yuan, as he had always thought Yang Yuan's strength, while formidable, was far from sufficient to kill his father.
It wasn't until later, when he heard that Yang Yuan had even crippled the former Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, that he realized the truth.
So, his father's death was indeed Yang Yuan's doing.
Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo could only be considered accomplices.
Upon first hearing this news and learning of her second brother's fall, Tang Yuehua was naturally heartbroken. After comforting Yang Yuan, she immediately sent word back to the Sect, informing Tang Xiao of the news.
Tang San hid at Tang Yuehua's place for a while and had initially evaded the Spirit Hall's pursuit. However, without using the Eight Spider Lances' devouring power, his current Cultivation speed was as slow as a turtle's crawl.
Left with no choice, he could only take a desperate risk, continuing to hunt Spirit Beasts in the Sunset Forest to Cultivate, incidentally killing many Spirit Masters as well.
Because his actions were too conspicuous, he once again attracted the attention of Salas, the head of the Spirit Hall's Heaven Dou branch.
Salas personally led a team to hunt Tang San. Unfortunately, with Tai Tan's help, Tang San still managed to escape.
Sadly, due to colluding with Tang San, the Strength Clan also suffered a devastating blow. Only Tai Tan, Tai Long, and a few Strength Clan members managed to flee Heaven Dou, seeking refuge with the Defense Clan.
Tang San was chased all the way north, eventually fleeing into the Far North, whereabouts unknown.
Back in the Clear Sky Sect, upon receiving the news of Tang Hao's demise, many Elders felt a great sense of vindication.
But Tang Xiao had been close to Tang Hao since childhood. How could he remain indifferent to Tang Hao's death?
Although rumors outside claimed Yang Yuan had crippled Bibi Dong, and Qian Daoliu had personally admitted inferiority.
As long as one was still human, one could not be called absolutely invincible. At the very least, he was confident his grandfather Tang Chen was not weaker than Yang Yuan.
Unfortunately, Tang Chen's whereabouts were currently unknown, so Tang Xiao temporarily set aside the thought of seeking revenge on Yang Yuan.
However, when the Star Luo Emperor personally came to their doorstep, hoping the Clear Sky Sect would emerge to join the campaign against the Heaven Dou Empire,
Tang Xiao's heart was ultimately swayed.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Dugu Bo both had close ties to the Heaven Dou Empire.
If the Clear Sky Sect aided the Star Luo Empire, perhaps they could first kill Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo, collecting an advance payment on the debt owed for Tang Hao.
Regarding Tang Xiao's decision, the Five Elders of the Clear Sky Sect had initially firmly opposed it.
But they couldn't withstand Tang Xiao kneeling before them, pleading earnestly.
Back in the day, the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had grown up under their watchful eyes.
Although they harbored many grievances about Tang Hao's past actions, over twenty years had passed, and Tang Hao was now dead.
Coupled with Tang Xiao setting aside his Sect Master's dignity to kneel and beg, the Five Elders of the Clear Sky Sect ultimately resolved to emerge, support the Star Luo Empire in overthrowing Heaven Dou, kill Chen Xin and Dugu Bo, and avenge Tang Hao... Therefore, the men beside Tang Xiao were precisely the Clear Sky Sect's Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder.
All four were Titled Douluos.
As for the Clear Sky Sect's Seventh Elder, his title was Blazing Sun. Being the youngest among the Elders, he did not participate in this campaign. Instead, he led a small number of Clear Sky Sect elites far overseas, as a precaution.
The moment Tang Xiao and the other four Elders appeared, they immediately delivered an immense shock to the Star Luo Empire's representatives.
No one had expected that after secluding themselves for over twenty years, the Clear Sky Sect had quietly produced so many Titled Douluos.
One must know that among the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only had two Titled Douluos, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had only Yu Yuanzhen as a single Titled Douluo.
It was precisely the appearance of the Clear Sky Sect that gave the Star Luo Empire an extra measure of confidence.
Inside the central command tent, having just received the news of Yang Yuan's appearance at Jialing Pass, everyone's faces were filled with gravity, not a word spoken.
The atmosphere remained deadlocked until the Star Luo Emperor seated at the head, with his golden hair and imposing demeanor, Dai Tianfeng, spoke.
"The King Qitian has appeared at Jialing Pass. Does anyone have a good strategy?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire assembly fell silent.
