Chapter 53: Saying Farewell to the Ye Family, the Terrifying Qian Daoliu
After Qian Xunji led the members of Spirit Hall's forces away, the Clear Sky Sect Disciples remaining in the Spirit Arena stared at one another, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Tang Xiao was the first to speak.
"Grand Elder, have I brought trouble upon our Clear Sky Sect? That Spirit Hall Pope seems unwilling to reconcile with our Clear Sky Sect."
After saying this, he helped up the heavily injured Tang Hao beside him; seeing Tang Hao suffer both physical and Spiritual blows just now, he hadn't been able to restrain himself and had attacked Yun Yuan.
But now, it seemed the matter had escalated, and Spirit Hall appeared determined to demand an explanation.
As one of the few in the Clear Sky Sect who could still think somewhat clearly, Tang Xiao was naturally worried for the Sect.
Hearing the worry in Tang Xiao's words, the Clear Sky Sect's Grand Elder laughed and patted Tang Xiao's shoulder.
"Xiao'er, rest assured. Our Sect Master is a super Douluo known as invincible on the continent; the name of Clear Sky resounds throughout the entire Soul Master World."
"Even Spirit Hall wouldn't dare provoke us lightly. At most, we'll just compensate them with some treasures and the matter will pass. You don't need to worry."
The Clear Sky Sect Grand Elder's words were full of confidence. With Tang Chen, their Clear Sky Sect was enough to intimidate the Soul Master World. Even if Spirit Hall's Angel Douluo, Qian Daoliu, were to come, so what?
Immediately after, he looked toward Tang Hao beside Tang Xiao, his eyes filled with concern as his tone shifted.
"Xiao'er, the most important thing right now is Hao'er's injuries. Physical wounds are easy to heal, but wounds to the heart are the most difficult to recover from."
"During this time, you must properly counsel Hao'er and ensure he finds his former fighting spirit and passion. Hao'er is the future hope of our Clear Sky Sect."
The Grand Elder held Tang Hao in high regard; after all, with Tang Hao's talent, there was hope for him to step into the Realm of a super Douluo in the future, just like Sect Master Tang Chen.
When that time came, their Clear Sky Sect would have two super Douluos in one Sect—what a glorious sight that would be. It would surely take their Clear Sky Sect to the next level; even if they didn't match Spirit Hall, the difference wouldn't be much.
Seeing the Grand Elder's lack of concern and thinking of his grandfather's strength, the worry in Tang Xiao's heart gradually dissipated, and he focused his mind on Tang Hao, who was beside him and devoid of any fighting spirit.
As the Grand Elder said, physical injuries were easy to recover from, but if the heart's wounds didn't heal, it would affect Tang Hao's cultivation for the rest of his life.
After this little interlude, the competition of the Upper Three Sects gathering was also suspended, as no one had the heart to continue fighting.
After the Clear Sky Sect left the Spirit Arena, Ning Fengzhi went to his father, Ning Qingzhou, and asked.
"Father, how do you think this grudge 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 number one Soul Master in the land.
Even that Angel Douluo from Spirit Hall was said to be inferior to the Clear Sky Douluo in terms of combat power, though he didn't know how much credibility those rumors held.
Seeing his son speculating on the combat power of two super Douluos, Ning Qingzhou gave him two light taps on the head and slowly shook his head.
"Fengzhi, it's better for us to think less about matters concerning super Douluos. Sometimes, when power is not on the same level, any cleverness or calculation is useless."
At this point, Ning Qingzhou seemed to remember something and sighed, his face full of helplessness.
"Fengzhi, do you know? Although our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect are both part of the Upper Three Sects, there is a gap even among the Upper Three Sects. Our Sect, before the current Clear Sky Sect, is no different from an ant."
"In the entire Douluo Continent, only Spirit Hall can keep the Clear Sky Sect in check, because they are the only two forces on the whole continent that possess super Douluos."
Listening to his father's warning, Ning Fengzhi took it to heart and simultaneously made a silent resolution: for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to become powerful in the future, it must win over powerful Titled Douluos.
Half an hour later, Yun Yuan's figure appeared at the entrance of the Ye Family's manor.
After what had just happened, Qian Xunji had originally wanted to take Yun Yuan back to Spirit Hall quickly. He could no longer suppress the rage in his heart and was determined to demand an explanation from the Clear Sky Sect.
However, knowing he was about to leave Heaven Dou City, Yun Yuan planned to say goodbye to Ye Qingxian and Ye Zhiyun.
One was a friend who was also like a teacher, and the other was a kind sister who had accompanied him for half a year and cared for him deeply. Returning to Spirit Hall this time, their next meeting might be years away.
"You're going back?"
After listening to Yun Yuan's explanation, Ye Qingxian's gaze toward him carried a hint of reluctance to part.
"Yes, Sister Qingxian, Aunt Zhiyun. I've come to say goodbye today. We'll have the chance to meet again in the future. 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 staring fixedly at Yun Yuan.
Beside her, Ye Zhiyun looked at the youth who was both a Disciple and a friend. Though she felt reluctant to see him go, she was the Clan Chief of the Nine Heart Begonia Family and naturally controlled her emotions well.
"Xiao Yuan, until we meet again."
Before parting, she gave Yun Yuan a farewell hug and then watched him leave the Ye Family manor.
...
Spirit City, Hall of Worship.
As soon as Qian Xunji returned to Spirit City, he rushed to the Hall of Worship 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 strength alone, they wouldn't be able to make that person from the Clear Sky Sect bow his head. In the entire Spirit Hall, only Qian Daoliu would be taken seriously by Tang Chen.
As for the other Soul Masters, Qian Xunji asked himself—in Tang Chen's eyes, they were no different from people offering their own heads for sale.
Forget making the Clear Sky Sect bow; even meeting Tang Chen once would be difficult. Everyone below the level of a super Douluo is but an ant.
After Qian Xunji entered the Hall of Worship, Qian Daoliu, deep within the hall, slowly opened his eyes. He had already sensed Qian Xunji's arrival.
However, what puzzled him was that Qian Xunji's heart seemed to contain a towering rage.
After a while, Qian Xunji arrived before him.
"Jier, what is the matter? You look so furious."
Qian Daoliu spoke slowly, waiting for Qian Xunji's explanation, while the gazes of the six Enshrined Elders beside Qian Daoliu all rested on Qian Xunji.
"Father, Uncles, it's like this..."
Facing Qian Daoliu's inquiry, Qian Xunji slowly recounted the events. He did not exaggerate the trip to Heaven Dou City but answered truthfully.
As time passed and they listened to Qian Xunji's narration, Qian Daoliu and the other six Enshrined Elders in the Hall of Worship remained silent.
Sometimes, this kind of silence is instead the calm before the storm.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the Angel Soul Power on Qian Daoliu's body was released, and the pressure unique to a super Douluo was directly unleashed.
The floor within the Hall of Worship was already torn apart by Qian Daoliu's Soul Power, and the pressure of that power made Qian Xunji, a Titled Douluo, unable to move from his spot.
"Even though I've felt it many times, is this the strength of a super Douluo?"
"Father, I truly hope that one day, I too can reach your current Realm."
