What does it mean to be utterly disgraced?
This is truly an utter disgrace.
Killing someone is but a nod of the head.
But this was far more unbearable than killing for them.
And he himself merely looked solemn.
Within the Clear Sky Sect.
The Five Elders and others, who were already extremely displeased with Tang Hao's previous actions, seeing this scene,
immediately snorted coldly.
Pointing at the heavenly curtain, they angrily cursed,
"Look, look, what did this Elder say earlier?
Now look, not only is this Tang Hao a jinx, but his son, Tang San, is also a genuine jinx!"
"How many disasters has he brought to our Clear Sky Sect over these many years? Is this not enough? Does he still need to go out and provoke powerful enemies? Do they, the Tang Clan father and son, only feel content if our Clear Sky Sect is completely annihilated?!"
"Let's go, let's go find the Sect Master now! To ensure the Clear Sky Sect's survival, this Tang Hao must be removed from our Clear Sky Sect!"
"Exactly!"
"He must be completely expelled from the Clear Sky Sect!"
The Elders grew angrier as they spoke. After finishing their words, they had completely unified their opinions, turned their heads, and hurried towards the Sect Master Hall where Tang Xiao was located.
Tang Hao and his son were naturally oblivious to all of this, or rather, even if they knew, they wouldn't care much.
Especially Tang Hao, whose entire attention was currently on Spirit Hall.
Thinking about how he had just been toyed with by Hu Liena and others, led around like a dog,
he truly felt his intelligence had been greatly humiliated.
Clenching his Clear Sky Hammer, he gnashed his teeth and said hatefully,
"Spirit Hall, it's that damned Spirit Hall again! Killing my beloved wife and forcing me not to return to the Clear Sky Sect is one thing, but today they even toyed with me like this."
"I, Tang Hao, swear here and now: if I do not destroy Spirit Hall in this life, I swear I am not human!"
"Killed my beloved wife?"
Hearing him say that, Tang San was also thrown into disarray for a moment.
After keenly noticing the crucial part of his words,
he immediately spoke, pressing with a series of questions,
"Father, what do you mean by that? Did my mother die at the hands of Spirit Hall?!"
"Exactly!"
"San'er, now you know how deep the hatred between Spirit Hall and our Tang Clan is, right? It was they who caused our once complete family to completely fall apart!"
"How wonderful your mother was. Not only did she possess an angelic face, but she also had a heart as kind as gold. But such a person was forced by Spirit Hall to commit suicide on the spot. That scene, I will never forget it in this life!"
Tang Hao had originally concealed this matter.
He didn't want Tang San to get involved in this mess.
After all, Spirit Hall was extremely powerful.
It was the force with the most Spirit Masters on the entire Douluo Continent.
Such a formidable enemy, even the Clear Sky Sect, the leader of the Seven Great Sects, had to avoid its sharp edge, close its mountain gate, and remain in a semi-reclusive state.
How could Tang Hao bear to see his own son go to his death?
But after the various popularizations by the heavenly curtain,
he also began to discover his son's extraordinary nature.
Coupled with the fact that things had progressed to such a point,
there was no longer any need for Tang Hao to continue concealing it.
Upon hearing Tang San say this, he finally nodded and unveiled the sealed past.
He spoke of the deep-seated hatred between their family and Spirit Hall.
Due to the presence of the heavenly curtain,
when he spoke now, he deliberately omitted the reason why Spirit Hall pursued Tang San's mother, as well as his mother's true identity as a 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Beast.
However, this news was still shocking enough for Tang San.
Connecting it with his father's various behaviors in his childhood,
he could finally understand why he had appeared so dispirited.
However, he himself was clearly not particularly interested in this old matter concerning Spirit Hall.
After all,
even without this past,
just based on Spirit Hall's actions today,
in Tang San's view, the other party had already sealed its own doom.
Once his strength grew in the future,
he would definitely seek revenge.
Under these circumstances,
whether he understood it or not, it naturally wouldn't have much of an impact on him.
So, he followed suit, changing the topic and instead gossiping about the details of the romance between his father, Tang Hao, and his mother, Ah Yin.
He wanted to know who had actively pursued whom back then.
Hearing him ask this, Tang Hao naturally patted his chest and proudly stated that it was his mother, Ah Yin, who had fallen in love with him at first sight.
"Your father, I, prefer to be passive."
As Clear Sky Douluo spoke, a rare shy smile appeared on his originally resolute face.
His eyes were even filled with reminiscence.
Seeing his appearance,
Tang San smiled and naturally didn't fully believe him.
Looking up again, seeing that the heavenly curtain projection still hadn't dispersed,
a new idea spontaneously arose in his mind.
At this moment, his legs softened, and with a thud, he directly knelt beneath the heavenly curtain.
He kowtowed towards the heavenly curtain and said,
"Since I can remember, I have never seen my birth mother. I have never served my mother or shown filial piety in front of others."
"heavenly curtain has spirit, if possible, I hope to receive an item closely related to my mother as my lucky audience reward!"
His action this time was a genuine open scheme.
It was both from the heart and also a way to try and clear his name from a different angle.
After all, his series of actions against Dugu Bo earlier had already been thoroughly confirmed.
And it was so firmly confirmed that there was no way to clear his name.
Under these circumstances, if he wanted to regain the public's favor towards Tang San,
he could only find an alternative approach.
And establishing a filial son persona was undoubtedly the most convenient and effective path among all options.
After all, in this day and age, while not everyone has a girlfriend, everyone has a mother.
Playing the emotional card from this angle was the easiest way to elicit understanding and empathy from others.
Tang San was full of confidence, and facts proved that his idea was indeed not wrong.
Previously, everyone had quite a few complaints about him.
But now, upon seeing him sincerely kneel before the heavenly curtain,
the expressions on everyone's faces couldn't help but become a bit more complex.
Although a small portion of people still thought he was playing the emotional card and was deeply scheming,
most people had already been swayed by him, and their attitudes softened accordingly.
"Even if this Tang San has many shortcomings, he can still be considered a filial son after all."
"Indeed. Of all virtues, filial piety comes first. Since he is so filial to his own mother, he is most likely not bad to others either."
And the onlookers had only softened their attitudes.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was so excited that she started dancing with joy.
She then spoke, excitedly adding to the crowd,
"See? I told you, Third Brother is definitely not as bad as you all think!"
"The reason he targeted Dugu Bo earlier was because there was a deep-seated enmity between them. What's wrong with mercilessly killing an enemy? If he were to be soft-hearted because of this, that would truly be a woman's benevolence, wouldn't it?"
The rest of the Shrek Seven Devils nodded in agreement, feeling strongly about what she said.
Zhu Zhuqing even rarely chimed in with her support.
"What you said makes sense. It seems we really did misunderstand Tang San."
Hearing someone agree,
Xiao Wu became even more enthusiastic.
She spoke again, unable to help but blurt out what was on her mind.
"Of course, it was a misunderstanding. Especially those former students from Blue Tyrant Academy. Hmph, what do you mean, 'the subordinates follow the example of their superiors'? Those words were too unpleasant. My Third Brother would never, under any circumstances, become such a hypocritical person who acts one way to your face and another behind your back!"
Although she stopped herself in time halfway through her sentence,
hearing her say that,
Yu Xiaogang, who was standing behind her, couldn't help but stiffen.
He hadn't expected that he would inexplicably get shot while lying down.
