Lin Xiao!
Tang Chen was all too familiar with that name.
Ghost Face Flame Monarch was Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao was also the one who stole Tang San's Asura Divine Sword!
Tang Chen's eyes flickered.
The Second Elder, however, said indignantly:
"Old Ancestor, this Lin Xiao, at such a young age, is already a Soul Saint expert. His Soul Ring configuration is six black and one red. In terms of talent, he might even surpass you, Old Ancestor!"
"If this scoundrel isn't eliminated, he will surely become a major threat in the future!"
"You must know, not long ago, Lin Xiao even infiltrated the Clear Sky Sect and retreated unharmed under our encirclement. This means he has already established himself!"
At this point, the Second Elder's resentment was palpable.
"Our Clear Sky Sect is sealed by a Poison Array and guarded by Spirit Hall. The one who set up the Poison Array, Dugu Bo, is precisely Lin Xiao's teacher!"
Tang Chen pondered for a moment and said:
"This Lin Xiao does indeed need to be dealt with."
"However, let's put this aside for now."
Tang Chen had not forgotten that the most urgent matter after emerging from Slaughter City was to seize power from the Clear Sky Sect and take complete control of it.
Only in this way could he ensure the merger of Slaughter City and the Clear Sky Sect.
His expression changed drastically, and he suddenly attacked.
"I never expected that after being missing for just over ten years, my glorious Clear Sky Sect would fall to such a state. You all truly lack backbone, tolerating being bullied to this extent!"
As soon as he said this, the elders and Tang Xiao all showed shame.
Tang Xiao wanted to argue.
"Grandfather, it's not that Xiao is cowardly, but rather that Spirit Hall's power is immense. We can only preserve the sect's strength by enduring humiliation for now!"
Tang Chen became furious.
"This is your incompetence!"
"If you had great strength, why would you need to retreat?"
Everyone lowered their heads.
Seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, Tang Chen changed his tone.
"Today, our Clear Sky Sect has reached a critical juncture of life and death."
"Little Xiao, I am very disappointed in you!"
"From this day forward, you are stripped of your position as Sect Master!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Clear Sky Sect was shocked.
The Grand Elder had just returned and was already deposing the Sect Master?
The Third Elder hurriedly said:
"Old Ancestor, this cannot be!"
"The Sect Master has been diligent all these years, and we have all seen it. He is truly not to blame."
Seeing everyone's resistance, Tang Chen changed his tune.
"It's only a temporary removal. You don't need to plead!"
"This is tough love, and it's also because I don't want Xiao to bear such a heavy burden anymore. Once I stabilize the situation, Xiao will still be the Sect Master!"
So, the Grand Elder wasn't angry.
He was trying to pave the way for Tang Xiao?
In an instant, all dissenting voices disappeared.
The Second Elder was the first to react, bowing deeply to Tang Chen.
"The sect is in grave danger. We implore the Grand Elder to temporarily assume the position of Sect Master and help the sect overcome this difficult time!"
The others also reacted.
"We implore the Grand Elder to temporarily assume the position of Sect Master and help the sect overcome this difficult time!"
Tang Chen's lips curved upwards.
With his strength and status, regaining control of the Clear Sky Sect was as easy as flipping his hand.
He said:
"I can also tell you about my experiences over the years. In fact, I became the king of Slaughter City, and I intend to merge the Clear Sky Sect with Slaughter City this time."
Tang Chen's words shocked those around him.
"Merge the Clear Sky Sect with Slaughter City?"
"Ah? Aren't all the people in Slaughter City Fallen Ones?"
"You want to collude with Fallen Ones?"
Even the Second Elder, who was the most supportive of Tang Chen, was greatly alarmed and hastily said:
"Absolutely not! The Continent has zero tolerance for Fallen Ones."
"I'm afraid our Clear Sky Sect will have nowhere to stay!"
Isn't this just giving Spirit Hall a legitimate excuse to attack?
Tang Chen smiled grimly.
"This old man has made up his mind. All of you just need to do as I say!"
The Deathgod Domain unfolded, its immense pressure and fear enveloping everyone within its reach.
The elders began to feel uneasy.
They realized at this moment that the Tang Chen before them was likely no longer the Tang Chen they remembered.
The leader of the Fallen Ones is, of course, also a Fallen One!
Tang Chen appeased them:
"Don't worry, the Continent will naturally have a place for us. The Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire is also one of us. When the time comes, the entire Clear Sky Sect can relocate to the Star Luo Empire!"
With a combination of threats and reassurances, the members of the Clear Sky Sect were left with no choice.
Tang Chen instructed:
"Within three days, pack up everything the sect needs to pack! Before we leave, I will lead you to find Lin Xiao!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
"No need to trouble yourself to find me, I've come to you!"
This voice sounded right beside him, yet it originated from the distant sky.
Tang Chen looked up sharply.
He saw two figures above the clouds, looking down at the Clear Sky Sect members below.
One of them had hair as red as maple leaves, a mocking expression on his face, and features as handsome as a god. A pair of Phoenix Wings grew from his back.
The other was clad in gold hair and white robes, his posture upright, and his eyes held a sharp, world-dominating glint. His back bore a pair of immaculate Angel Wings.
Tang Chen's expression drastically changed.
These two were Lin Xiao and Qian Daoliu!
Why was Qian Daoliu at the Clear Sky Sect?
Only Tang San and Yu Xiaogang knew that he had come out of Slaughter City!
Who had betrayed him?
Tang Chen's face suddenly turned grim.
He naturally wouldn't suspect Tang San. After all, Lin Xiao had stolen Tang San's Asura Divine Sword, so Tang San had no reason to betray him.
That meant it could only be Yu Xiaogang!
If he discovered that Yu Xiaogang was indeed the mole, Tang Chen swore he would make him wish he were dead!
Qian Daoliu's eyes were indifferent, as if nothing in the world could stir even the slightest ripple within him. However, upon seeing Tang Chen's current state, he couldn't help but sigh.
The proud son of heaven of yesteryear had now degenerated into this ghastly, half-human, half-ghost appearance!
Qian Daoliu sighed.
"Tang Chen, I didn't expect to meet you again in such a state."
"Are you worthy of Bo Saixi?"
Tang Chen knew that he couldn't escape this situation today.
He sneered, "Qian Daoliu, why are you acting so self-righteous here? Are you still holding a grudge because Bo Saixi didn't choose you? To tell you the truth, Bo Saixi never had you in her heart!"
Tang Chen desperately wanted to break Qian Daoliu's composure.
But Qian Daoliu's mental fortitude was strong, and he merely smiled slightly in response.
"Perhaps."
"It's simply because Bo Saixi doesn't know you."
"Even the most beautiful and outstanding women can inevitably make wrong judgments."
Lin Xiao felt a bit speechless.
He had always been very curious about what Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen would say when they met, but he never expected that after only a few words, the two would start talking about women.
Clearly, Qian Daoliu wasn't as nonchalant as he appeared; he was still quite displeased.
That old man really holds a grudge...
Tang Chen chuckled sinisterly.
"Heh, Qian Daoliu, you've always been inferior to me. Not only is your strength weaker than mine, but the woman you liked also liked me. You may look glorious on the outside, but in front of me, you've been a failure from beginning to end!"
As Tang Chen spoke, he began to mobilize the Soul Power within his body.
He wanted to take this opportunity to disrupt Qian Daoliu's state of mind.
This way, his chances of winning would be greater.
