Tang San and Tang Yuehua wanted to rescue the Clear Sky Sect.
They also wanted to leverage the reputation of Tang Chen.
In this world, were there ever such convenient things?
Tang Chen's identity could not withstand scrutiny, as Slaughter City was infamous throughout the continent. Everyone knew its members were all Fallen Ones, and the Slaughter King was their leader.
If anything, it was already as dark as it could get.
And now they wanted to whitewash themselves and return to society?
Lin Xiao would definitely strike with all his might against such dark and evil forces!
...
At Lin Xiao's behest, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect released the news that the Clear Sky Sect's ancestor, Tang Chen, was the Slaughter King. The continent was abuzz with discussion.
"Tang Chen? The Clear Sky Sect's ancestor who was on par with the Great Enshrinement of Spirit Hall?"
"Heh! When Tang Chen disappeared, the Clear Sky Sect declined. Everyone thought he was dead, but it turns out he went to Slaughter City to be a king of thieves and live it up!"
"Tang Chen is worthy of being on par with the Great Enshrinement of Spirit Hall? The Great Enshrinement of Spirit Hall has guarded Spirit City for how many years! And just recently, when the Beast Tide attacked, he fought against Beast God Di Tian!"
"Where is Tang Chen? Where did Tang Chen go?!"
If these remarks were merely an expression of emotion.
Then what followed were words that struck at the heart of the matter.
"The Clear Sky Sect's ancestor became the Slaughter King? I find it a bit too coincidental. Is the Clear Sky Sect truly clean?"
This was practically calling the Clear Sky Sect out and cursing them.
It cast suspicion on the Clear Sky Sect's connection to Slaughter City!
"Hmph! The Clear Sky Sect must provide an explanation for this matter!"
"If the sect's ancestor is the Slaughter King, can the sect wash its hands of the affair?"
In an instant, the Clear Sky Sect was thrust into the spotlight, becoming the target of public criticism.
...
Moon Pavilion.
Tang Yuehua's expression was sorrowful.
Emperor Xue Ye had summoned her today. When she arrived, he berated her, angrily demanding why she hadn't told him that Tang Chen was the Slaughter King.
Tang Yuehua wanted to argue, but the public outcry was immense. Since the person behind this dared to release such news, they must have evidence to support it.
If she denied it outright, it would only be counterproductive.
After being severely reprimanded by Emperor Xue Ye, Tang Yuehua was told in no uncertain terms that if she didn't resolve this mess first, the Clear Sky Sect would never see the light of day!
Seeing Tang Yuehua's haggard appearance.
Tang San lowered his head, his eyes hidden in the shadows filled with rage.
"Lin Xiao! It's Lin Xiao again!"
Besides Lin Xiao, who else would target him like this, and know so precisely that his great-grandfather Tang Chen was the Slaughter King?
Tang San wished he could eat Lin Xiao alive!
Yu Xiaogang was also filled with indignation.
Originally, his disciple was destined to become a future God, but then Lin Xiao appeared halfway and not only seized the Asura Divine Sword but also likely possessed the Asura God's inheritance!
Yu Xiaogang even resented the Asura God.
Since he chose Tang San, why did he let Lin Xiao interfere!
Now, after thinking they would gain the support of the Clear Sky Sect, they were thrown into chaos by Lin Xiao!
Xiao Wu's soft voice rang out.
"Xiao San, Lin Xiao is truly terrible."
"People like him can't stand to see others do well! Xiao San is so outstanding, why does this Lin Xiao keep targeting you?"
"Xiao San, you can't stand for this!"
"I'll go teach Lin Xiao a lesson for you!"
Saying this, Xiao Wu was furious.
She seemed to be consumed by rage, ready to go find Lin Xiao and settle the score at all costs!
Tang San was touched, but seeing Xiao Wu actually heading for the door, he quickly stopped her.
This was not a good idea!
Xiao Wu had good intentions, but Lin Xiao was too powerful and utterly unscrupulous.
She might go in standing, but come out carried out!
Furthermore, Xiao Wu was young and beautiful. If Lin Xiao harbored ill intentions and defiled her, Tang San would wish he could smash his head against a wall!
Xiao Wu said dejectedly:
"What can we do then?"
She clenched her fist and said indignantly:
"Xiao San, if you think of any way to deal with Lin Xiao, you must tell me!"
"I just can't stand that guy!"
Tang San was so moved that he was on the verge of tears.
The Xiao Wu who once doted on him, loved him, and had her eyes only for him, was back!
To him, the most trustworthy person in the world was Xiao Wu, ranked number one!
Tang Yuehua held her forehead, exhausted.
"Xiao San..."
She hesitated to speak.
"Aunt, what do you want to say?"
Tang Yuehua turned her head and murmured:
"Why don't we bow our heads to Lin Xiao? Ask him what exactly he wants to get?"
"No matter what, whether it's a sincere bow or playing along."
"Let's first find a way to get the sect out of this predicament, so we'll have the confidence."
Tang San hesitated upon hearing this.
Xiao Wu, who was by his side, also spoke earnestly.
"Yes, Xiao San."
"Lin Xiao is really too powerful..."
"Forget it, you can't beat him..."
"At worst, I'll apologize to Lin Xiao myself. I'm a girl, it's fine if I suffer a little grievance, he won't hurt me..."
Xiao Wu's words directly infuriated Tang San.
His eyes turned bloodshot, and he panted like an ox!
"No! Absolutely not!!!"
"Even if I die, I, Tang San, will never bow to Lin Xiao in this lifetime! Nor will I let you, Xiao Wu, wrong yourself!"
Xiao Wu pursed her lips.
She thought to herself, Actually, she wouldn't mind suffering a little grievance.
Tang Yuehua said worriedly:
"Then what can we do?"
She truly felt that Lin Xiao was her nemesis. Perhaps she owed him a debt from a past life, and if she let him bully her, she could repay it, so she would just let him be.
Tang San gritted his teeth fiercely. Did even Xiao Wu and his aunt not believe him?
They both said to just let it go.
But how could he swallow this insult!
Suddenly, Tang San looked up sharply.
"In this world, the only ones who can crush Lin Xiao are probably Spirit Hall and the Ferocious Beasts!"
"But don't forget!"
"Great-grandfather Tang Chen! He is a being of equal fame to Qian Daoliu!"
"In this world, the strong are respected! Even if my great-grandfather's identity is exposed, so what?"
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang suddenly interjected.
"Precisely!"
"I vaguely remember that the ancestor of the Clear Sky Sect back then, Tang Chen, suppressed Qian Daoliu! He was the strongest on the Continent!"
Tang Yuehua was suddenly shocked.
Being naturally intelligent and perceptive, she immediately grasped the true intentions of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang and exclaimed:
"No! If we truly get involved with Slaughter City, we'll never be able to wash ourselves clean!"
"Xiao San! I can't just watch you ruin yourself!"
"Although the Clear Sky Sect's current situation is difficult, it's not yet a desperate situation! If the Clear Sky Sect is also branded with Slaughter City, then it will truly be irredeemable forever!"
Tang San roared like a beast:
"There are no other options!"
"So what if they're Fallen Ones?"
"Slaughter City is by no means weaker than any force on this Continent!"
Tang Yuehua pleaded desperately.
"Xiao San, just listen to your aunt."
"Can you give Auntie a little more time?"
In the end, Tang Yuehua managed to persuade Tang San.
But Dai Mubai, who had been listening silently the entire time, had his eyes begin to gleam.
As long as he could become emperor, who cared if it was dirty or not?
Fallen Ones were also a force!
...
Night deepened.
Tang Yuehua tossed and turned.
"Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, I hate how heartless you are. Why are you so doting towards Qing Xian, yet so ruthless towards me?"
"Don't force my hand..."
