"His name…is Tang San" Ah Yin answers Tang Chen, the newly propositioned god father while Xue Tie is sulking in the corner.

The reason for his emotions is due to what he had sensed. When the baby was born, he naturally felt some strange wisp enter it which had merged with the pre-existing soul. Allowing them to smoothly merge. As the baby's soul was newly formed there was no real backlash to this transition.

Xue Tie naturally knows that this is the Tang Clan reincarnate Tang San being reincarnated in a new body. He felt he could shake things up by becoming the godfather of such a legendary character. A Karmic binding of sorts. Granted he can think of a few other methods to establish this. For now though, he has to take care of the pest problem.

Xue Tie gest up and begins to waddle out of the room. He stretches a bit before kicking out the door and yelling

"TALLY HO LADS. Have ya missed me?" His kick naturally slams the spirit hall elder who was leaning on the door due to boredom. He is sent flying along with the door. The other elders and Qian Xunji all rise and take up battle positions before they all realize who it is.

"Sup bitch" Xue Tie greet Qian Xunji

"XUE TIE, ILL KILL YOU" The rage filled man says.

"Been there, done that. You failed. Plus you got no bitches."' Xue Tie casually memes an insult at Qian Xunji.

"Run along little sparrow. I don't really feel like dealing with you. Even if I wasn't here, you would still have not killed the beast or suppressed the Clear Sky Clan more than you already have."

"Huh. You are the one trespassing in another empire's territory. You're the one overstepping your bounds. What authority do you have to tell me what to do?"

"Well. A. I like to think I became good friends with the Heaven Dou emperor at my coronation. B. I kicked your ass both before and after you killed me. C. Him" Xue Tie gives a few reasons for his 'audacity' with the final point being him pointing at Tang Chen and Tang hao who both are wielding their Clear Sky hammers. The 9 rings with at least 3 of them being red on Tang Chen and the 'perfect' 8 rings (2 yellow, 2 purple with 4 black).

The spirit Hall elders grow wary as they see their target and an unknown Clear Sky elder. They have a very good portfolio of each elder and family head but as it has been a hundred or so years since Tang Chen was last seen and the only one who has clearly seen any information about him being Qian Daoliu who had no reason to tell anyone about his strength since he would have more likely than not taken the frontal position to fight him anyways.

As such, there is little information about him except his early childhood and middle aged years. At least before he was put into seclusion and groomed to be the next family head and then was simply dominating his generation.

"Who are you? I'm surprised any clear sky elders would be here after so many of you were already killed" One of the upper rank members of the elder hall, one who was on the border of entering the worship hall, questions Tang Chen. Unfortunately, his choice of words only solidified one future aspect of his life.

Death

Tang Chen zooms in front of this elder and takes out the Clear Sky medallion and waves it in front of his face.

"That is who I am. Even your so-called Grand Elder would show me some respect or run in fear because you have just dug your grave."

Tang Chen utilizes his hammer to knock this elder into the air before he dashes up and manifests the Clear Sky clan Technique. The Great Sumeru Hammer.

BANG BOOM SPLAT

The impact outright crushed all the bones in this elders body. The subsequent impact with the ground to turn those broken bones into crushed flesh. Only then was the ground itself actually damaged by the attack.

The near instant kill is enough to demoralize all the spirit hall elders including Qian Xunji who has already been wanting to escape as his face aches due to the pain of his brand after just seeing Xue Tie but this only makes it worse as this unknown figure who he recognizes to now be the ancient Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen. A man who his father, Qian Daoliu told stories about during his childhood over why not to destroy the Clear Sky clan. Yet he did it anyway and the boogeyman of the stories is now before him.

"Retreat. NOW" He drags his people away to escape. Making full use of his Seraphim martial spirit to escape while providing a protective halo to his people.

"You tell Qian Daoliu that I shall be coming for the tax you all have accumulated by attacking MY Clear Sky Clan" He dismisses his hammer and sets down. Growing a bit pale as he does. It seems the Great Sumeru hammer is too much for him to bear with his weakened physique.

Xue Tie brings out a chair which Tang Chen sits on while drinking another blood potion which he has collected from Xue Tie throughout the few days they had been following Tang Hao and Ah Yin. Xue Tie tells Tang Hao to go back to his wife and son since the newborn baby has started crying again to the harsh sounds created by the hammer attack.

"I'd say maybe three or four years before you kick the bucket. Don't push yourself, old man." Xue Tie says to Tang Chen as he takes out another chair to sit next to him.

"Hehehehe, This is simply something I must do. I too have sinned against the clan by disappearing for so long that wastrels now inhabit my clan." Xue Tie rolls his eyes at the clan loyalty that even someone like him was indoctrinated into. Xue Tie is only loyal to three things. His wife Bibi Dong, his students and blood family who he has spent years with, and finally his empire which is the culmination of all his efforts.

In truth, he cares little for Mohgwyn and its history but since the grudge is already there, he will have to settle it. If anything, he simply claims the ancient connection for free workers who have indoctrinated themselves to Mohgwyn long ago. On the other hand, the three titled douluos who drank different golden potions in the previous ambush. He suspects the Rakshasa god has already been influencing his life. His worries are more about Asura as even when he killed the 'three headed' bat king, he still has not shown his influence. It's possible that Asura's wrath towards the beast was much heavier than his fight with Mohgwyn.

As for Rakshasa, if she takes any drastic actions, he will cut her connection with Bibi Dong without negative effects on his wife. With all his accumulated abilities and ready to absorb a full set of spirit bones. He will be ready to take on the gods.

Shaking his head out of his thoughts, Xue Tie looks at Tang Chen who has now gained a solemn expression. Tang Chen realizes that Xue Tie is looking at him and decides to ask him a weird question.

"Were you able to sense 'that' when the boy was born? The intrusive soul"

"Yes. I am naturally the master of delivering death, comprehension of souls is within my territory. But what about it. You think your descendant has been possessed by some alien ghost. Ouououououou" He jokes

"I worry for the safety of my clan if such a person was allowed to go there and create more havoc." Tang Chen simply responds

"What a little chaos in the world. I'm a reincarnator too, ya know" He drops a bombshell on Tang Chen who now has a shocked expression.

"What's that look for? It's my own body's ancestor who forced me here to revive his bloodline and ascend beyond his legacy. I'm just doing as i'm told while having fun along the way. Who is to say some ancient Clear Sky clan ancestor cant do the same. Oh right, they can't because it's my clan that has the power of death. Which means they might very well be a divine spy or something. What? Do you plan to kill them, kill the child that you just became the god father of? Disappoint you own descendants by killing their newborn child? Just take the child and nurture it. It might very well grow to harmonize with you and your clan. Then it will become another powerhouse on behalf of your clan, no?" Xue Tie reveals his circumstances and then teases the old man.

Tang Chen simply shakes his head "I'm overthinking it. "

"Correct. As a reward, i'll tell you that where I came from was a sort of 'Prime' world where we could view worlds like this one and many others through a variety of mediums. That is how I was killed after all. So I know that that child will grow up just fine. Granted my involvement has changed history so I apologize in advance if he becomes lazy."

"I'm going to get a headache at this rate if you keep telling these things to me."

"He he he he" Xue Tie Laughs.
