Chapter 245: Returning to the Sect for Aid
Dai Mubai was also quite helpless at this moment. He knew that Tang San was telling the truth. Although this guy was the son of Clear Sky Douluo, he really wasn't sure he could call for help.
Two years ago, when he was searching for the Clear Sky Sect for Tang San, he specifically inquired about Clear Sky Douluo.
The result wasn't very good. That Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, who was Tang San's father, could be said to be the culprit who caused the Clear Sky Sect to seclude itself from the world.
Therefore, as the son of Clear Sky Douluo, Tang San must not have been very welcome in the Clear Sky Sect. Didn't he leave the Sect after less than two years there?
Could it be that Tang San didn't want to stay in the Clear Sky Sect? That couldn't be right. It could only be that he was ostracized in the Clear Sky Sect and couldn't stay, which is why he ran back to Star Luo City.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Tang San immediately set off and went to the Clear Sky Sect again.
"Oh? Look who it is? Isn't this the famous Tang San, son of Clear Sky Douluo? Two months ago, he resolutely left the Sect. I thought he wouldn't come back."
"I didn't expect him to sneak back so soon, did I?"
"But I heard you've latched onto the Star Luo Imperial Family, haven't you? Why aren't you enjoying yourself in Star Luo City and running back to our remote corner?"
"What? Did you fail to hold onto the leg and get kicked away? Haha, that's really interesting!"
At the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate, four young men in grey robes looked at the dust-covered Tang San, their mouths full of mockery.
Earlier, Tang San had traveled quickly from Star Luo City, taking three days to reach the Clear Sky Sect. But as soon as he ascended the large mountain where the Clear Sky Sect was located, he was stopped outside the gate by the gatekeepers.
Listening to the continuous laughter of the four people in front of him, Tang San's eyes flashed with fire, and he kept cursing under his breath that they were all courting death!
"Hmph! I've returned to the Sect because I have something important to discuss with my Uncle. If you block me here, aren't you afraid of the Sect Master's blame?"
Hearing Tang San's words, the four grey-robed youths' expressions turned ugly. This dog-like Tang San, he wasn't much himself, but he knew how to use the Sect Master to pressure them.
However, they really couldn't say much, after all, the Sect Master was Tang San's Uncle, not theirs.
Regardless of whether this dog-like fellow really had something to see the Sect Master about, if they blocked him outside the mountain gate and the Sect Master found out, it would definitely displease the Sect Master.
The four then snorted coldly and made way for Tang San.
Tang San looked at the four of them, then walked in expressionlessly.
He was thinking that if he could really find help in the Clear Sky Sect on this trip, and these guys also appeared on the battlefield, then he must use some means to trap them and kill them!
When Tang San arrived at the residence of his Uncle, Tang Xiao, he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door when he heard a voice from inside the room.
"Little San is back. Come in."
Tang San didn't hesitate, pushed the door open, walked in, and bowed to Tang Xiao.
"Tang San greets Uncle. I have been away from the Sect for many days without sending any letters back. Please forgive me, Uncle."
Tang Xiao waved his hand, then pulled Tang San to sit down.
"Why be so polite with Uncle? I know you weren't comfortable staying in the Clear Sky Sect, so I didn't stop you when you left."
"However, why have you come back? Did you suffer any grievances outside? It's alright, tell Uncle, and Uncle will help you get revenge."
"Although our Clear Sky Sect secludes itself, it's not a place anyone can bully!"
Tang San shook his head, his face full of gratitude, and he thought to himself, his Uncle cared for him much more than his father did, but it was a pity that this was not his father after all.
"No, Uncle is overthinking. Tang San has been doing very well outside. I came back this time just to ask Uncle if the Clear Sky Sect has any intention of re-emerging?"
Tang Xiao frowned. How could the Clear Sky Sect not want to re-emerge? Did they really think they wanted to stay in these deep mountains?
Those people in the Sect disliked Tang San so much not just because his father caused many people in the Clear Sky Sect to die.
After all, as long as one becomes a Spirit Master, combat is inevitable, and as long as there is combat, who can guarantee they won't die?
So, even the people of the Clear Sky Sect were prepared for the possibility of being killed in battle.
But the reason the people of the Sect resented Tang San was more because his father caused trouble, yet trapped them in these mountains.
However, it was true that the Clear Sky Sect wanted to re-emerge, but it wasn't up to them; it depended on whether Spirit Hall was willing to let them out.
That's why Tang Xiao frowned after Tang San finished speaking.
"Little San, if you ask whether the Clear Sky Sect wants to re-emerge, it certainly does. But you also know the reason why the Clear Sky Sect secludes itself."
"Spirit Hall's attitude towards the Clear Sky Sect is still unclear. If the Clear Sky Sect re-emerges at this time and provokes an attack from Spirit Hall, that would be disastrous!"
Seeing Tang Xiao's worried expression, Tang San's hatred for Spirit Hall deepened. Although he wished to eliminate most of the people in the Clear Sky Sect.
But this majority of people did not include Tang Xiao. After all, he could see that Tang Xiao was genuinely good to him, even closer than his own father.
And now that Tang Xiao was worried about Spirit Hall, Tang San naturally resented them too. Moreover, Spirit Hall was already courting death in Tang San's heart.
"Uncle, Spirit Hall's strength is indeed great, but can the Clear Sky Sect just keep secluding itself because Spirit Hall is strong?"
"Moreover, the Clear Sky Sect has been secluded for more than ten years. Spirit Hall may not hold onto the Clear Sky Sect forever, after all, they didn't completely annihilate us back then."
"Now there's a good opportunity to test Spirit Hall's attitude. I think you, Uncle, can give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can just retreat back into the deep mountains."
Tang Xiao narrowed his eyes, looked at Tang San beside him, and asked curiously:
"Little San, what is this opportunity you speak of?"
Hearing Tang Xiao's question, Tang San quickly told Tang Xiao the news that Star Luo was going to send troops to attack Heaven Dou.
"Star Luo's actions are very big this time. It looks like they are determined to take a piece of Heaven Dou, which is why I think this is an opportunity."
"Our Clear Sky Sect can send people to act with the Star Luo army, and Spirit Hall has always maintained a neutral stance on the continent."
"So even if Spirit Hall knows that the Clear Sky Sect has re-emerged, they may not make a move against the Clear Sky Sect during the war between the two nations."
"When everything settles, if they still want to deal with the Clear Sky Sect, Star Luo will interfere, and they may not get what they want."
Tang Xiao tapped his fingers on the table, deep in thought. What Tang San said indeed made sense. Using this matter to test Spirit Hall was not impossible.
And just as Tang San said, although Spirit Hall was powerful, should their Clear Sky Sect just keep secluding itself? For how long could they hide? They couldn't hide until Spirit Hall disbanded, could they?
