Chapter 55: Tang Chen Backs Down, the Might of the Spirit Hall
Inside the main hall of the Clear Sky Sect.
Feeling the seven powerful Soul Power fluctuations coming from above the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen frowned deeply, his heart heavy with gravity.
In the next moment.
Tang Chen's figure vanished from where he stood, and before long, he appeared in front of Qian Daoliu.
"Brother Qian, what is the meaning of this?"
Seeing the aggressive posture of Qian Daoliu and the six Priests beside him, Tang Chen asked.
According to what the Grand Elder said, their Clear Sky Sect was the one in the wrong. What did Qian Daoliu mean by this action?
"Haha, Tang Chen, I have come here today to demand an explanation from the Clear Sky Sect."
"Your Clear Sky Sect people are too arrogant, too shameless, and show no respect for my Spirit Hall. Do you know of the incident in Heaven Dou City?"
Facing Tang Chen's inquiry, Qian Daoliu gave an honest answer; today, the Clear Sky Sect must give the Spirit Hall an explanation.
And as the Sect Master, Tang Chen should be the one to pay for the trouble caused by his Sect members.
Hearing this, Tang Chen was displeased, thinking Qian Daoliu was too overbearing. This matter was originally the Spirit Hall's fault, yet they came to demand an explanation? Did they really think the Clear Sky Sect was a soft persimmon that could be squeezed at will?
Seeing the expression on Tang Chen's face, Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes, his Angel True Body emitting waves of Holy Light.
Since Tang Chen was unwilling, he couldn't be blamed for using force.
Immediately after, an Angelic Sword condensed from Angel Soul Power appeared in Qian Daoliu's hand, and a massive golden sword also appeared in the hands of the Angel True Body behind him.
"Tang Chen, since you want to shield your Sect members' misdeeds, then don't blame me, Qian Daoliu, for being impolite."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Daoliu increased his Soul Power output, and the massive golden sword slashed toward Tang Chen.
Seeing this, Tang Chen had no time to think. The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul appeared in his hand, and a massive Clear Sky True Body appeared above him, smashing toward the Angelic Sword.
Their Rank 99 Soul Power collided in mid-air, and in an instant, the entire Clear Sky Sect was enveloped by a terrifying Soul Power pressure.
Ordinary members fell directly to their knees, and even high-level Soul Masters had their legs trembling incessantly under this Soul Power pressure, feeling like a small boat in a vast ocean.
"Brother Qian, is there some misunderstanding? Allow me to question my Sect members first."
"The Clear Sky Sect will definitely give you an explanation later. How about it?"
After one exchange, Tang Chen knew he had to back down. Otherwise, if things continued, the Clear Sky Sect he painstakingly established might be destroyed today at the hands of Qian Daoliu and the six Priests.
As Qian Daoliu's old rival, he knew better than anyone how powerful and difficult Qian Daoliu was. But most importantly, there were the six Priests beside Qian Daoliu who could strike at any moment.
Once the battle began, if Qian Daoliu pinned him down, the Clear Sky Sect would truly be in danger of being wiped out.
As the Sect Master, he couldn't act on impulse. Even if the Spirit Hall was overbearing, he had to grit his teeth and swallow this grievance, because behind him was the entire Clear Sky Sect.
As long as the Clear Sky Sect existed on this continent, Tang Chen could not act recklessly.
"Fine, Tang Chen, I'll give you time. If you don't give the Spirit Hall a satisfactory answer later, then don't blame me and my six brothers for taking action against your Clear Sky Sect."
As soon as Qian Daoliu finished speaking, Golden Crocodile, Qingluan, Lion, Guangling, Thousand Weights, and Xiangmo instantly released even more powerful Soul Power fluctuations, seemingly as a show of force to Tang Chen.
Second Priest, Gold Crocodile Douluo, Rank 98 Peak Douluo.
Third Priest, Qingluan Douluo, Rank 96 Super Douluo.
Fourth Priest, Lion Douluo, Rank 96 Super Douluo.
Fifth Priest, Glowing Feather Douluo, Rank 95 Super Douluo.
Sixth Elder, Thousand Ton Douluo, Rank 95 Super Douluo.
Seventh Elder, Xiangmo Douluo, Rank 95 Super Douluo.
At this time, among the seven Priests of the Spirit Hall, except for the Second Priest Golden Crocodile who was stuck at Rank 98 Peak Douluo and unable to advance, the cultivation of the other six Priests was slightly inferior compared to decades later, having not yet reached their Peak state.
Feeling the Soul Power Rank of every Priest present, Tang Chen felt helpless. If the Elders of his Clear Sky Sect were as capable, he wouldn't have to back down to Qian Daoliu now.
After making the agreement with Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen retracted his Clear Sky True Body and returned to the Sect's main hall.
"Sect Master, have you driven back the visitors from the Spirit Hall?"
Seeing Tang Chen return, the Grand Elder's old face broke into a bright smile as he questioned Tang Chen. He believed that with Tang Chen's presence, he could definitely intimidate the Spirit Hall's visitors.
But what greeted him was not Tang Chen's answer, but a Soul Power pressure descending upon him.
"Ayi, tell me the truth. If I find that you've hidden even half a thing about what happened in Heaven Dou City, I'll break your legs."
Tang Chen was filled with rage; he was now certain that the Grand Elder had lied to him.
"Sect Master, what has happened? Have the Spirit Hall visitors not left yet?"
Seeing Tang Chen's gloomy face and solemn expression, the Grand Elder's heart was also very uneasy.
Just then, Tang Xiao, who was standing to the side, stepped forward.
"Grandfather, this matter is my fault. After Brother Hao lost his duel with that Spirit Hall Genius, I saw Brother Hao's Martial Soul wavering, so I attacked that Spirit Hall Genius."
"Then, the Grand Elder and others blocked the rescue efforts of Pope Qian and the Spirit Hall Elders for me, and I attacked that Spirit Hall Genius."
Hearing Tang Xiao's answer, Tang Chen grew even angrier, his gaze toward the Grand Elder becoming increasingly cold.
"As the Grand Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, do you know what your actions in Heaven Dou City have brought upon the Clear Sky Sect!"
"Is the Spirit Hall someone you can afford to provoke? Do you think Qian Daoliu can no longer lift his sword? Or do you think I, Tang Chen, am already invincible on the Douluo Continent?"
"If only you all were a bit more capable, I wouldn't be so helpless when the Spirit Hall's Seven Great Priests descend."
As he spoke, the Soul Power pressure Tang Chen applied to the Grand Elder became more terrifying, forcing the Grand Elder to his knees, unable to move.
Beside him, Tang Xiao was also frightened by his grandfather's rage. This was the first time he had seen Tang Chen in such a terrifying state.
"Sect Master, I was wrong."
Seeing Tang Chen fly into a rage, he also knew how much trouble he had caused. Over the years, the Spirit Hall's low profile had made him think the Clear Sky Sect could contend with them.
But in fact, the Spirit Hall was still the overlord power of the Douluo Continent. The Clear Sky Sect's strength was entirely supported by Tang Chen alone.
Otherwise, with the Clear Sky Sect's strength, it would truly only be at the level of an ordinary Upper Three Sects member, with a world of difference from the Spirit Hall.
After this, the Grand Elder swore he must keep a low profile. At the very least, they should wait until the Clear Sky Sect could stand on equal footing with the Spirit Hall before being arrogant again.
"You know you were wrong? No, you're just afraid."
"In a moment, come with me to face the Spirit Hall. As the instigator, you should pay the price for your actions."
Then, he turned his gaze toward Tang Xiao.
"Xiao'er, you come along too. Apologize. Given Qian Daoliu's character, he won't make things too difficult for a youth."
