Chapter 238: Tang San on the verge of death.
"I'm not a stranger. I'm returning home. My father is from here,"
Tang San explained to the middle-aged villager.
His words startled the middle-aged villager, who then glanced at him and said, "We're in the countryside. There aren't any noble young masters like you here. How can you prove it?"
Seeing some villagers surrounding him, Tang San quickly summoned the Clear Sky Hammer and smiled faintly, "Does this prove it?"
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief at Tang San's ability to summon the Clear Sky Hammer. The middle-aged villager tentatively asked, "Excuse me, which family are you from? I don't think I've seen you before."
"My aunt is Tang Yuehua. She sent me here."
Tang San, knowing his father's reputation was likely not good within the Clear Sky Sect, brought up Tang Yuehua.
"Deacon Yuehua, please wait a moment. I'll go and inform you."
The middle-aged villager, awestruck by Tang San's name, quickly spoke.
Although Tang Yuehua was only level nine and couldn't become a Spirit Master, her status within the Clear Sky Sect was far from low.
This wasn't just because she was Tang Xiao's sister, but also because she served as the Clear Sky Sect's conduit to the outside world, responsible for transmitting intelligence and exchanging supplies.
Without Tang Yuehua's supply chains, the Clear Sky Sect wouldn't have been able to remain hidden from the world. After all, while Douluo Dalu might be described as a fantasy, it's actually more of a martial arts story, and people still need to eat.
Within the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao was currently maintaining stability. Although their recent battle with Mu Hui didn't affect the Clear Sky Sect's buildings, the battle took place in the sky, and many witnessed the clash. They also saw that even the six of them, combined, were no match for Mu Hui.
This was a devastating blow to the Clear Sky Sect's morale, and if not handled properly, it could potentially trigger a chain reaction.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, a man named Tang San has arrived from the village below, claiming to be from your lineage,"
a middle-aged man said, kneeling on one knee before Tang Xiao.
"Tang San?"
Tang Xiao's expression immediately changed upon hearing this. He had almost forgotten that Tang San would be coming to acknowledge his ancestral roots in the next few days. This was a problem.
If Tang San had come before, while the elders had their doubts about Tang Hao, he was still the strongest and the leader of the Clear Sky Sect. As long as Tang San showed some courage, his return to the ancestral roots wouldn't be a problem.
However, after the incident with Mu Hui, the elders' dissatisfaction with Tang Hao had reached a peak. If Tang San returned to claim his ancestral roots at this time, the Seventh Elder, who held the strongest objections, would probably smite him into a pulp.
So, Tang Xiao spoke without hesitation, "Go back and tell Tang San to go back. Remember not to tell the elders!"
The elders were furious. Although only three elders remained and could not defeat him, he didn't need to provoke them at this time. If this matter went wrong, the Clear Sky Sect might fall apart.
A moment later, after hearing what the visitor had said, Tang San, who was in the mountain village, frowned and said, "You said the Clear Sky Sect had something important to deal with, and asked me to go back first and come back later when I'm notified?"
The gray-clothed man glanced at Tang San with a sharp gaze, nodded, and said, "Yes, that's exactly what the Sect Master said. Come back later."
"Can you tell me what it is? Perhaps I can help?" Hearing this, Tang San asked somewhat unwillingly.
The gray-clothed man shook his head and said, "This matter involves sect secrets. I can't tell you anything. You should go back first!"
With that, the gray-clothed man gestured to see him off.
Seeing this, Tang San's face darkened. Was his first attempt to apologize on his father's behalf going to end in vain?
Seeing Tang San's inaction, the gray-robed man grew anxious and said, "Please come back later. The sect is truly in trouble right now."
"Hmph! If he doesn't want to go back, then don't go!"
an old voice echoed from the horizon. The next moment, a man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties appeared before them.
The old man glanced at Tang San and said unkindly, "Are you that little bastard from Tang Hao's family?"
The word "bastard" instantly darkened Tang San's face.
Having never received parental love in his previous life, Tang San held his father and mother in high regard, second only to Xiao Wu in importance. He could not tolerate anyone insulting Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
However, in order to atone for his father's mistakes, have Tang Hao accepted into the Clear Sky Sect again, and fulfill Tang Hao's wish, Tang San, after a long internal struggle, finally bowed to the old man before him and said, "May I know who you are?"
"This is the Seventh Elder of our Clear Sky Sect, titled: Blazing Sun!"
At this moment, the gray-clothed middle-aged man, seeing the situation was a little ominous, hurriedly explained to Tang San.
"So it's Blazing Sun Douluo, I've heard of you for a long time."
Hearing that the man before him was also a Titled Douluo, Tang San's heart suddenly trembled and he hurriedly said.
However, the Seventh Elder remained unmoved. He continued to stare at Tang San and said, "Answer my question. Are you that little bastard from Tang Hao's family?"
"Gritch!"
Tang San clenched his fists, but outwardly remained calm and said, "My father is indeed Tang Hao."
But at the same time, Tang San roared inwardly, "You've insulted my family so many times. You deserve death!"
However, after Tang San said this, the Seventh Elder gave him a strange smile and said, "It's good that you admit it!"
The next moment, the Seventh Elder's Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand and without hesitation, smashed down on Tang San.
"What!?"
Seeing this, Tang San's eyes widened in anger. Under the threat of death, the Killing God Domain and the Blue Silver Domain instantly appeared, along with his most powerful move, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear!
After experiencing the combined effects of the Killing God Domain and the Blue Silver Domain, the Seventh Elder's attack was much weaker. However, the Seventh Elder was a Titled Douluo after all. Even under the influence of the domains, the remaining power was still too much for Tang San to resist.
Tang San's Blue Silver Overlord Spear shattered almost instantly, sending his body flying hundreds of meters along with it.
Countless blood gushed from every part of Tang San's body, his arms and upper body bones nearly shattered. Even his very breath was barely breathing.
"Huh?"
A flicker of surprise crossed the Seventh Elder's eyes at this scene. Even though they hadn't used their full strength, the force of that blow was enough to severely injure an ordinary Soul Douluo, and anyone below that level would almost certainly die. And yet, Tang San had actually survived?
