Very soon, Qian Dao Liu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, felt two auras approaching and slowly opened his eyes, "Qian Jun, Xiao Long, since you're here, why are you still standing outside?"
As he finished speaking, Qianjun Douluo and Jiang Long Douluo finally stepped inside.....
Feeling a bit guilty, they spoke, "Big brother"
Qian Dao Liu naturally noticed their change in expression, "Judging by the looks on your faces, it seems you have something to say, don't you?"
These two, who usually feared nothing, especially Xiao Long, were now showing such an expression!
Something unspeakable must have happened!
Jiang Long Douluo gritted his teeth and was the first to speak, "Big brother, well... how should I put it, we've brought Tang San safely back to the Worship Hall as per your instructions!"
Qian Dao Liu nodded, "Hmm, I already sensed Tang San's aura before. What you wish to say is surely more than just that."
Jiang Long Douluo immediately became tense, "Yes... yes, there's something else, and I don't know how to begin."
Qianjun Douluo, seeing this, sighed helplessly, "Xiao Long, let me do it."
Then he turned his gaze to Qian Dao Liu, "Big brother, this time, the person who secretly arranged to meet Tang San was Tang Hao."
Qian Dao Liu's eyes glimmered with light, "I suspected as much. I knew that guy wouldn't just give up and, lacking the courage to approach the Worship Hall, attempted to take Tang San away with such a despicable method."
"However, today, I don't know what he said to Tang San, but he suddenly went crazy and tried to kill him!"
Qian Dao Liu sneered softly, "Heh, it's nothing but feeling embarrassed about his son Tang San joining the Martial Soul Hall and naturally wanting to clean house."
After all, Tang Hao's wife was forced to a dead end by the Martial Soul Hall!
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Nonetheless, for you to be able to bring Tang San back from his hands truly shows that you haven't neglected your cultivation during this time!"
Qianjun Douluo and Jiang Long Douluo hung their heads in shame upon hearing this.....
Qian Dao Liu seemed to perceive something amiss and immediately connected the dots.....
He promptly asked, "Wait, where is that Magic Bear guy? Wasn't he responsible for Tang San's close protection? Why didn't he come back with you?"
No wonder something felt off; it was because they were missing Magic Bear!
Qianjun Douluo swallowed and reluctantly answered, "Big brother, we hadn't arrived by then, and Magic Bear, in order to protect Tang San..... died at Tang Hao's hands."
"What?"
Qian Dao Liu abruptly stood up, furiously glaring at the two in front of him...
"How is it possible that even Tang Hao, that guy, could kill Magic Bear so easily?"
It was hard for him to believe that Magic Bear was killed by Tang Hao!
Qianjun Douluo continued to explain, "Big brother, before Magic Bear died, he said Tang Hao was a complete madman and directly used the Broken Ring upon seeing him."
Jiang Long Douluo chimed in, "Exactly, at that time we also felt that intense soul power fluctuation, reaching at least your level!"
Qian Dao Liu narrowed his eyes, "Broken Ring... has Tang Hao truly gone mad to the extent of using this ability to kill Magic Bear!"
"What about Magic Bear's body?"
Qianjun Douluo pursed his lips, "Big brother, under Tang Hao's attack, only half of his body remained, making any treatment impossible, so I took the liberty to destroy it!"
Qian Dao Liu closed his eyes.....
Finally, it turned into a deep sigh.....
"Forget it, Magic Bear truly met with misfortune this time!"
He could roughly understand why Qianjun and Jiang Long didn't provide support!
Had they gone, the Worship Hall might have lost three guest elders!
"However, this grudge, the Worship Hall will never forget!"
Tang Hao, since you killed Magic Bear, I will let you know what true pain is!
Qianjun Douluo's eyes sharpened, "Rest assured, big brother, this vengeance will be exacted!"
"Moreover, even though Magic Bear tragically fell, that kid Tang San is now wholeheartedly on our side, so there's no need to worry about him having other thoughts!"
Qian Dao Liu nodded slightly, "Very well, afterward, you two shall decide amongst yourselves who will mentor Tang San!"
Neither of them dared to object, "Yes, big brother!"
It seemed this matter would be glossed over; otherwise, with the previous big brother, they would likely have been beaten half to death!
Qian Dao Liu waved his hand, "You may leave, keep a close watch on Tang San's every move, and don't let him leave the Worship Hall without authorization!"
...
Soon after, the news spread.....
As the Sect Master, Tang Xiao, exclaimed in shock, "What?? Is this truly the case?"
Other elders also showed expressions of disbelief...
The Clear Sky Sect Disciple responsible for delivering the news bowed his head, "Returning to Sect Master and elders, although I don't know the news source, it seems to be true!"
"We investigated the surrounding area and certainly found Tang Hao's aura, and the entire vicinity was razed by a terrifying force!!"
Tang Xiao fell back into his seat with a thud, trying to calm his mind...
And the usually tough elders finally had a change of heart about Tang Hao.....
"Who would have thought Tang Hao would be so decisive, taking action against his own child? It's not an exaggeration to call this righteous extermination!"
"Hmph, if I had a child like Tang San, I'd have strangled him at birth, yet Tang Hao did something right for once!"
"Unfortunately, he didn't extinguish Tang San in the cradle. Given his talent, he will undoubtedly become a sharp blade for the Martial Soul Hall!"
"What is there to fear? Tang San is still young and far from reaching our level! Besides, didn't the Worship Hall lose a guest elder this time, weakening their overall power?"
Tang Xiao ignored their words and inquired again, "Have we found any trace of Tang Hao?"
Even using the Broken Ring ability, which can greatly amplify power temporarily, leads to extreme weakness thereafter!
The disciple truthfully replied, "Returning to Sect Master, we've thoroughly searched the area, but found no trace of Tang Hao or his body!"
Tang Xiao, for some reason, felt a sense of relief in his heart...
"It seems, Brother Hao must still be alive, but he is likely in great danger, and we cannot let this be!"
"Transmit my orders to expand the search area and bring Tang Hao back!"
"Elders, you have no objections, do you?"
The last sentence clearly carried a hint of threat...
The elders exchanged glances and all shook their heads...
"All will follow the Sect Master's command!"
After all, Tang Hao's recent actions were somewhat beneficial to the Clear Sky Sect, so they decided to let it slide for now!
The disciple immediately regained his senses and cupped his fists, "Yes, Sect Master!"
