Chapter 98 Tang Wei Fell, Yu Xiaogang Arrived in Spirit City
Several hours later.
Tang Chen returned to the Clear Sky Sect, his face terribly gloomy.
Without saying a word, he walked straight into the council hall.
Upon entering the main hall, Tang Chen said in a deep voice, "Summon the Sect Master and all elders, and come here immediately for a meeting."
Before long, Sect Master Tang Wei and several elders rushed over.
As soon as everyone entered the main hall, they sensed that something was amiss.
Tang Chen sat in the main seat, his face ashen.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Tang Chen was always as calm and composed as a mountain, never showing his emotions. Anything that could make him show this expression must be something serious.
No one dared to speak first.
Sect Master Tang Wei, steeling himself, tentatively asked, "Father, why are you back so soon? Where is Hao'er?"
He had a bad feeling.
Tang Chen clearly went to bring Tang Hao back, but he returned alone with such a terrible expression.
Could it be...?
Tang Wei dared not think any further.
At this moment, Tang Chen slowly spoke: "Hao'er perished in the City of Slaughter two years ago."
These words struck like a thunderclap in the council hall.
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone froze, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
The elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Tang Hao was the most outstanding genius of the younger generation of the Clear Sky Sect and the future successor to the Sect Master position.
He actually died in the City of Slaughter?
"No... this is impossible..." Tang Wei suddenly stood up. "Hao'er is powerful and possesses the unique skills of the Clear Sky Sect. How could he have died in the City of Slaughter?"
Tang Chen said, "According to the King of Slaughter, Hao'er was surrounded and killed by a group of Fallen Ones."
As soon as Tang Chen finished speaking, Tang Wei's body swayed violently.
He staggered back two steps, his face instantly turning deathly pale, devoid of any color.
Tang Wei couldn't help but recall Tang Hao's appearance when he was young.
When he first grasped the Clear Sky Hammer, his eyes gleamed with confidence.
In his youth, he stood out among his peers, earning everyone's admiration.
And when he left the sect, he smiled and said to him, "Father, when I come back, I will definitely become stronger, and I will definitely not let you down."
But what he received was this message.
Suddenly, Tang Wei clutched his chest, felt a sweet taste in his throat, and vomited a mouthful of blood.
Then, everything went black before his eyes, and his body fell straight backward.
"Sect Master!"
Chaos erupted in the main hall, and several elders rushed forward to help Tang Wei up.
The Grand Elder reached out to examine Tang Wei's condition, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in horror, "Sect Master, this is due to excessive grief and anger, causing your blood and qi to attack your heart... the situation is not good."
"You may all leave," Tang Chen waved his hand.
"Yes, Elder Sect Master."
Soon, Tang Wei was carried away by a group of people.
In the blink of an eye, only Tang Chen remained in the main hall.
He stood alone in the center of the empty hall, his heart heavy as if a mountain were pressing down on him.
Now that the Sect Master had fallen, the future of the sect was shrouded in mystery.
If he left in the future, what would become of the Clear Sky Sect...?
Among the younger generation of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao was quite good, but compared to Tang Hao, he was ultimately far inferior.
As for the other disciples, they were not worth mentioning.
Tang Chen let out a long sigh...
...
Meanwhile, at Tang Wei's residence.
The members of the Breaking Clan had already come to see him and said that he needed to rest and recuperate properly and not be subjected to any further stimulation, otherwise his life might be in danger.
Tang Yuehua and Tang Xiao rushed over after learning that their father, Tang Wei, had collapsed.
At this moment, Tang Yuehua's eyes were red and swollen, clearly indicating that she had been crying.
Tang Xiao's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly, and his eyes bloodshot.
They already knew about Tang Hao.
Soon, the two rushed into the room and saw Tang Wei lying on the bed, his face pale and his breath weak.
Tang Yuehua's tears welled up instantly.
"Father..." She knelt before the bed, holding Tang Wei's hand, her voice choked with sobs.
"Yuehua... I'm fine." Tang Wei forced a smile, but the smile looked worse than a grimace.
At this moment, Tang Wei's gaze passed over Tang Yuehua and landed on Tang Xiao.
"Xiao'er."
Tang Xiao stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Father, I'm here."
"You should know about Hao'er's matter, right?"
Tang Xiao's expression darkened, and he nodded heavily without saying a word.
Tang Wei sighed, a sigh filled with weariness and sorrow.
"Xiao'er, your father is no longer useful. The burden of the Clear Sky Sect will fall on your shoulders from now on."
Tang Xiao was shocked. "Father, you..."
"Let me finish," Tang Wei interrupted him. "In the past, I placed too many expectations on Hao'er and paid less attention to you. That was my fault."
Now that your brother Hao is gone, you are the sole pillar of the Clear Sky Sect for the next generation. From this day forward, the future of the Clear Sky Sect rests on your shoulders."
Tang Xiao nodded. "Father, please don't say that. I have never blamed you."
"Rest assured, from now on, I will redouble my efforts in cultivation and will never let you and Grandpa down, nor will I bring shame upon the Clear Sky Sect."
"Good..." Tang Wei smiled with relief. "I believe in you."
"You all go down first. Let me have some peace and quiet."
Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua exchanged a glance.
Then they tiptoed out of the room and gently closed the door.
...
Two days later, in Spirit City.
Yu Xiaogang stood at the city gate, looking up at the majestic city before him, a surge of indescribable excitement welling up in his heart.
He had been traveling for several days, enduring wind and rain, and his food supplies were almost gone.
Now, he had finally arrived at Spirit City.
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
After traveling for so many days and enduring so much hardship, it was all worth it.
He believed that with his intelligence, even if he couldn't find a way to evolve his Spirit,
he could still become a renowned theoretical master across the continent.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fist, a determined glint appearing in his eyes.
Spirit City, here comes Yu Xiaogang!
He lifted his foot and strode toward the city gate.
The guards at the city gate checked Yu Xiaogang's Soul Master certificate and looked him up and down.
He looked quite old, yet he was only a Soul Master?
"Go in." The guard's tone was somewhat impatient.
Yu Xiaogang took the certificate and put it into his pocket without changing his expression.
He didn't say anything, nor did he show any emotion.
He had seen that look, that attitude, far too many times.
These things were nothing new to him.
Yu Xiaogang snorted inwardly but remained outwardly calm.
You look down on me?
It doesn't matter.
One day, I will use my wisdom and my theories to make you all look at me with new eyes.
