Ye Qingxian had never met Tang Chen.
But that didn't stop her from making a basic judgment.
Tang Chen, who was possessed by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, must have had abilities related to blood, most commonly devouring blood to grow stronger and recover.
She had been studying this for days.
After several haphazard concoctions, she managed to create a pill that could solidify blood without taking too long. By crushing and vaporizing it with Soul Power, its effects could be exerted invisibly.
Since she was refining a poison, not a tonic, Ye Qingxian didn't exert herself too much. As long as it hindered blood flow and didn't strengthen the opponent, there was no need to worry about side effects.
Whether it worked or not, trying it wouldn't hurt.
...
Demon Bear Douluo was responsible for guarding the Clear Sky Sect.
Leading hundreds of people from the Knight Order, he blocked the Clear Sky Sect's only passage.
With the enhancement of the Poison Array, if the Clear Sky Sect attempted to force their way through, the level 95 Demon Bear Douluo would join forces with the Knight Order to make them pay a heavy price.
If they couldn't stop them, they would retreat decisively.
Then they would report to Spirit Hall, And wait for Spirit Hall's army to come and suppress them.
Demon Bear Douluo felt this was a cushy assignment, as the Clear Sky Sect had been like turtles hiding in their shells on the mountain, afraid to come down.
But today, an unexpected guest arrived.
Staring at the burly man who appeared before him, completely shrouded in a black cloak, Demon Bear Douluo's brow twitched. A sense of danger washed over him.
"Hey, someone from Spirit Hall?"
"Qian Daoliu is really something. Since when did the foot of my Clear Sky Sect's mountain become a place where Spirit Hall's dogs can run wild?"
Was he from the Clear Sky Sect?
Demon Bear Douluo looked at Tang Chen with a solemn expression.
"May I ask who you are?"
"Hiding your head and covering your tail, are you afraid to show your face?!"
Tang Chen chuckled sinisterly and attacked abruptly.
"Deathgod Domain!"
Boundless crimson blood enveloped Demon Bear Douluo and the Spirit Hall Knight Order, the suffocating pressure making Demon Bear Douluo feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
"Clear Sky True Body!"
Dark red energy surged like an angry ocean tide.
Tang Chen, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, smashed down towards Demon Bear Douluo and the Spirit Hall Knight Order.
Demon Bear Douluo roared.
"Form up!"
"Demon Bear True Body!"
The Spirit Hall Knight Order formed a battle formation, their Soul Power combined. Demon Bear Douluo, even more so, unleashed his Martial Soul True Body, transforming into a massive bear king roaring at the sky.
"Blazing Meteor Fall!"
Demon Bear's thick bear paw slammed heavily onto the ground, causing the earth to tremble. However, Tang Chen was unaffected. He let his body sway, his feet rooted to the ground as if they were planted.
The countless meteors burning with raging flames, summoned by Demon Bear, rained down densely on Tang Chen, but they were all shattered head-on by Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer with an invincible posture.
The colossal Clear Sky Hammer pressed down, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.
Demon Bear roared, flames erupting from his body. His bear paw expanded again, but it appeared incredibly small beneath the mountain-like Clear Sky Hammer.
...
"Escape!"
After just two exchanges, Demon Bear Douluo was severely injured and immediately fled.
He led the remaining members of the Spirit Hall Knight Order and, under the cover of the Poison Array, quickly retreated.
Tang Chen merely glanced at them and did not pursue.
"This Poison Array is quite troublesome..."
The Poison Array set up by Dugu Bo contained various poisonous mists and insects, which caused trouble for Tang Chen's pursuit. He frowned slightly. Wherever he went, he would swing his Clear Sky Hammer, forcefully destroying the Poison Array.
Afterward.
Following his memories, he actually ascended the cliff face, stepping directly upwards!
The Clear Sky Sect was strategically advantageous due to its defensibility, the most crucial point being its extremely steep cliffs. Passage was usually made via iron chains and baskets; there was no path up the mountain!
Tang Chen, clad in a black cloak and shrouded in shadows, exuded a bloody aura of slaughter. When seen by disciples of the Clear Sky Sect along the way, they mistook him for an invading enemy.
They all attacked to stop him.
Tang Chen impatiently released his Clear Sky Hammer.
He wasn't in the mood to mess with these young disciples.
"Where is the current Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Where is that brat Tang Xiao? Call him out to see his grandfather!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was filled with righteous indignation.
But the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul on Tang Chen's body, and the eight black and one red Soul Rings that lit up behind him, caused the disciples to fall silent, their hearts filled with shock and uncertainty.
Could this mysterious person hidden in the cloak truly be one of the old ancestors of their Clear Sky Sect?
A clever Clear Sky Sect disciple.
Immediately went to notify all the elders and Tang Xiao.
In a short while.
The five great elders of the Clear Sky Sect arrived, and Tang Xiao also quickly rushed over.
"May I ask, Your Excellency, which senior of our Clear Sky Sect are you?"
Tang Chen chuckled strangely:
"Little Xiao, you don't even recognize your grandfather?"
With that, Tang Chen took off his cloak, revealing an aged face.
Bony and thin, extremely gaunt.
Tang Xiao was completely stunned.
"Who are you if you're not my grand-uncle?"
He searched through his memories, but couldn't find any elder of the sect in front of him who looked as withered and ancient as a dying vampire.
Tang Chen said lightly:
"This old man is Tang Chen, your paternal grandfather."
Tang Xiao's body trembled violently, and he exclaimed:
"Grandfather?!"
"Grandfather, what have you experienced all these years you were missing? How, how did you end up looking like this!"
Tang Chen laughed:
"But at least I'm still alive."
The five Clear Sky Sect elders standing beside him were extremely shocked.
When Tang Chen went missing, he never returned for a long time, and there was no news.
Everyone in the Clear Sky Sect assumed that Tang Chen had died outside. They never expected him to still be alive!
For a moment, immense joy enveloped everyone's hearts.
"It's Grand Elder Tang Chen!"
"The ancestor has returned!"
"Wuwu, ancestor, we missed you so much!"
The Clear Sky Sect disciples on the periphery also understood what had happened.
Instantly, they cheered with joy.
"It's ancestor Tang Chen! When ancestor Tang Chen was here, even Spirit Hall didn't dare to offend our Clear Sky Sect! The Great Enshrinement of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu, had to give our sect face!"
"With the ancestor's return, the hard times for our Clear Sky Sect are finally over!"
Tang Chen pressed his hands down slightly.
The voices immediately quieted down.
He said lightly:
"This old man already knows the experiences of the Clear Sky Sect these past few years. Spirit Hall has been too overbearing, and that scoundrel Qian Daoliu is shamelessly brazen!"
"Now that I have returned, the sect naturally doesn't need to endure in silence anymore!"
"However, Spirit Hall is powerful, and I was injured outside, so I am temporarily unable to fight Qian Daoliu. You all need to remain patient."
The Second Elder said joyfully:
"With the ancestor's return, our Clear Sky Sect will rise again!"
"Ancestor, for the past ten years of sealing the mountain and closing the sect, we have been diligently cultivating."
"Now all five of us elders have been promoted to the ranks of Titled Douluo, and with the Sect Master and you, ancestor, we have seven Titled Douluo!"
"Even Spirit Hall would not dare to attack us!"
The Second Elder then said angrily:
"A while ago, a scoundrel stole our Clear Sky Sect's supreme treasure. I request that ancestor deal with him and capture/kill him!"
Tang Chen frowned slightly.
"Who is this person?"
"Lin Xiao!"
