"Lady Yue, please don't worry. I will send people to verify the situation. Perhaps your esteemed brother has already led the clansmen to retreat?"
Seeing Tang Yuehua on the verge of collapse, Qian Renxue sneered inwardly but spoke words of comfort.
Hearing this, Tang Yuehua turned her head in a daze and mechanically bowed.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Yuehua will take her leave now."
Tang Yuehua didn't know how she walked back to the Moon Pavilion from the Imperial Palace. She only felt that the scorching summer breeze couldn't change the chill in her heart.
Upon returning to the Moon Pavilion and entering the door, she was met with the expectant gazes of two juniors. When their eyes met, Tang San and Tang Xian's hearts also suddenly sank.
"Aunt, is it that the Heaven Dou Emperor is unwilling to send troops to support the Clear Sky Sect?"
In fact, he had a worse guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to blurt it out.
Tears welled up in Tang Yuehua's eyes, and she shook her head sadly.
"No."
"Then..."
If it wasn't that Xue Qinghe was unwilling to send troops, combined with Tang Yuehua's expression at the moment, Tang Xian didn't dare to continue thinking.
"Aunt, did something happen to the Clear Sky Sect?"
"The news came from the Heaven Dou garrison in Tokes Province. The Clear Sky Sect has been breached, and the clansmen... none survived."
Even though she still held a glimmer of hope, Tang Yuehua knew that her Big Brother was not the kind of person who would abandon his clansmen and leave alone. Moreover, the terrain of the Clear Sky Sect had no escape routes, so the most likely possibility was that her Big Brother and the clansmen died fighting together.
"What! No... This isn't true, Grandfather and the others are still..."
Tang Xian's eyes widened, and he took several steps back in disbelief, shaking his head constantly with a lost look. Tang San, who was beside him, also clenched his fists and lowered his head.
"Spirit Hall, we have another blood debt."
Just as the aunt and nephew were silent, Tang Xian quickly ran out of the Moon Pavilion.
"I don't believe it, I want to go and confirm it myself."
Tang Yuehua was slightly stunned, then looked anxiously at Tang San.
"Xiao San, quickly stop him. It's hard to guarantee now whether Spirit Hall has left people in the Clear Sky Sect to search for any stragglers."
Tang San suppressed his sadness, nodded at Tang Yuehua, and then quickly chased after Tang Xian. Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he quickly caught up to the other party.
Looking at Tang San blocking his way, Tang Xian was furious, and even his words started to come out without thinking.
"Get out of the way, you jinx! It's all because of you. The Clear Sky Sect was fine, and this happened half a month after you arrived."
"Now you're even stopping me from going back to mourn?"
Tang Xian's angry words made Tang San frown deeply. Although he understood the other party's feelings at the moment, these words still made him angry.
"Spirit Hall might have sent people to guard the Clear Sky Sect, waiting for those who went out to return. Going back now is like walking into a trap. We are arguably the only remaining bloodline of the Clear Sky Sect. Please be rational."
"Stop talking nonsense! How can you tell me to be rational? My grandfather, my brothers and sisters are all gone. How could you, a jinx who has been alone since childhood, understand my feelings? Get out of my way."
Tang Xian, with bloodshot eyes, even summoned the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand while speaking. His meaning was clear: if Tang San didn't get out of the way, he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.
Tang San sighed slightly. The other party's already not-so-bright mind was now filled only with anger and hatred. It was clear that he wouldn't listen to him anymore, but letting him go back like this was also not advisable, after all, he was his only remaining blood relative in the world.
"Then come on."
"What I hate most is your indifferent look towards everything. Although the Sect Master didn't spend much time with you, he treated you like his own child. You don't even have the thought of going back to mourn. Let me teach you a good lesson, you bastard."
Tang Yuehua's heart had been pounding since the two juniors left one after another. As the highest-ranking person in the Clear Sky Sect now, although she lacked strength, she had the obligation to protect the few remaining bloodlines of the Clear Sky Sect.
Fortunately, after several hours, the two finally returned to the Moon Pavilion. Seeing Tang San carrying the unconscious Tang Xian on his shoulder, Tang Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief and also sighed deeply. She could understand the other party's feelings at this time, but returning to the Sect now was really not a good choice.
After having Xiao Ping arrange for someone to take Tang Xian back to his room to rest, Tang Yuehua also forced a strained smile.
"Xiao San, you did the right thing. Don't feel bad about it."
"Yes, Aunt. But what should we do next?"
"Let's stay in Heaven Dou City for now. No matter how powerful Spirit Hall is, it's impossible for them to easily attack the Heaven Dou Empire."
Tang San nodded. He didn't have a better plan for the time being, so he could only do this.
In the evening, a disciple from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect quietly came to the Moon Pavilion and handed Tang Yuehua a letter.
Tang Yuehua had a vague guess in her heart. After thanking the disciple, she sent him out of the Moon Pavilion. Opening the letter, the content was indeed the same as what she had heard in the Imperial Palace today.
"Lady Yue, please accept my condolences. When the two Elders arrived at the Clear Sky Sect, it had already become ruins. The bodies of Sect Master Tang Xiao and the Elders have been confirmed, but the Soul Bones are missing."
Tang Yuehua clenched the letter, and tears streamed down again. At this moment, her last bit of hope also vanished. Her heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness. As a woman with a useless Spirit, how could she take revenge on the behemoth that was Spirit Hall?
"Aunt?"
Seeing Tang Yuehua's changing expression, Tang San, who was beside her, called out to her with some concern.
Tang Yuehua, who had come back to her senses, also gave her nephew a bitter smile and handed him the letter. After reading it, Tang San also clenched his fists.
"Aunt, don't worry. I will settle this account with Spirit Hall. You don't need to worry too much."
"Xiao San, don't act recklessly. Only you and A Xian are left in the Clear Sky Sect now."
Tang San shook his head, indicating that he hadn't lost his mind.
"Don't worry, Aunt. I won't show any hostility towards Spirit Hall until I have absolute certainty. There's still a long time, and I will grow stronger."
"That's good. Xiao San, you are cautious, so Aunt won't worry too much. It's just that you still need to keep a close eye on Tang Xian recently; his emotions are still very agitated."
"Yes, Aunt."
Tang San nodded and agreed to Tang Yuehua's instructions. Although he felt disdain for Tang Xian in his heart, the other party's goal was absolutely consistent with his own. He was one of the few people in the world that he could absolutely trust, so it wouldn't hurt to spend some effort on him.
In the future, he would definitely establish the Tang Sect on the continent. At that time, he would definitely need some subordinates. Otherwise, how could he do everything himself?
After this period of time, Yue Guan and the others also sent back the news of their successful operation to Spirit Hall. Qian Daoliu also learned the whole story from Qian Jun and Jiang Mo.
"It seems Little Snow will be back soon to take the assessment, and I will be able to complete my mission."
"Yes, Big Brother. With Little Snow's talent, she will definitely be able to achieve what you expect."
