Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

"The Haotian Sect is gone?"

Tang Chen almost thought he had misheard, but seeing that Lin Mu didn't seem to be joking, he had no choice but to accept the result.

In an instant, an overwhelming sense of bitterness welled up in his heart.

Although he had stopped interfering in the sect's affairs a long time ago, as the sect's supreme elder, he left behind several unique skills because he naturally did not want the sect to perish.

Suddenly, Tang Chen's eyes flashed, and he guessed, "Is it the Thousand Flowing Hands?"

Looking at the two great empires, there is only one force capable of destroying the Clear Sky Sect, and that is the Spirit Hall, which has stood for ten thousand years.

After all, with the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul and the unique skills he left behind, the Clear Sky Sect has firmly established itself as the number one sect in the world, and other forces simply do not have the strength to destroy the Clear Sky Sect.

Besides the Spirit Hall, which has a history of ten thousand years.

Thinking of this, Tang Chen's eyes blazed with fury.

I thought Qian Daoliu would keep his promise, but he actually destroyed the Haotian Sect while I was away, showing no martial ethics whatsoever.

Seeing Tang Chen's reaction, a strange look flashed in Lin Mu's eyes, and he muttered to himself, "If Qian Daoliu hadn't kept his promise, the Haotian Sect would have been destroyed twenty years ago."

In his view, the Spirit Hall could destroy the Clear Sky Sect without even needing Qian Daoliu to personally intervene.

Sending out the other six enshrined figures and several elders from the Papal Palace would have been enough to destroy the Haotian Sect, but Qian Daoliu did not do so.

This shows that Qian Daoliu had already shown mercy.

Of course, part of the reason was his fear of Tang Chen's retaliation, since he didn't know Tang Chen's specific situation and couldn't be sure whether he had passed the divine test.

If Tang Chen passes the divine test, the entire Spirit Hall will be unable to withstand his wrath.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Qian Daoliu is in a state of explosive rings, he would have no way to resist Tang Chen, let alone dodge the Great Sumeru Hammer.

For some reason, most Soul Masters prefer to confront challenges head-on.

Only agility-type and support-type Soul Masters will actively dodge attacks. Other Soul Masters, even if they could avoid them, prefer to withstand the opponent's attacks to prove that they are stronger.

Take Sendo-ryu for example, who insists on comparing his own weaknesses with his opponent's strengths.

If Tang Chen were to use his air superiority to wage a war of attrition, he would most likely be no match for Qian Daoliu.

After some thought, Lin Muqiang suppressed his thoughts and said, "Although the Haotian Sect is gone, most of its members are unharmed."

Upon hearing this, Tang Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But he soon realized something was wrong. If all the disciples of the sect had survived, why would the Haotian Sect no longer exist? This simply didn't make sense.

"Brother Lin Mu, are you hiding something from me?"

As he spoke, Tang Chen stared intently at Lin Mu, his gaze as deep and unfathomable as a cold pool.

Seeing this, Lin Mu remained calm and composed.

He used to be certain that he didn't want Tang Chen to know those things, but now it's different. Tang Chen only has less than half a month to live, so it doesn't matter if he knows the truth.

"I established a sect, and the Haotian Sect was merged into it and renamed Hammer Hall," Lin Mu said succinctly.

Upon hearing the words "Hammer Hall," Tang Chen was completely dumbfounded.

It took Tang Chen a full half minute to come to his senses and look at Lin Mu with a complicated expression.

He had planned everything meticulously, but he never expected that it was Lin Mu who was behind it. With Lin Mu's unparalleled strength, destroying the Haotian Sect would be no problem for him.

However, he really couldn't understand why Lin Mu would take action against the Haotian Sect.

Although their time together was short, he could tell that Lin Mu didn't have much desire for fame or fortune. Having reached the Limit Douluo level before the age of thirty, even if he wanted the title of the world's number one weapon spirit and the world's number one sect, he wouldn't need to destroy the Clear Sky Sect.

Moreover, Lin Mu's disciple is also a member of the Haotian Sect, so it's impossible to understand what kind of conflict could exist between them.

Even now, Tang Chen has not lost his mind.

Although the Clear Sky Hammer no longer exists, at least it has been preserved, and most of the sect's disciples are unharmed.

From another perspective, he was already a dying man, so the merging of Haotian Sect into Lin Mu's forces was not necessarily a bad thing.

Once Lin Mu becomes a god, Tang San will definitely inherit the position of sect leader.

Compared to his original plan, it was just a name change.

After a long while, Tang Chen finally calmed down and asked, "Brother Lin Mu, I want to know why you did this?"

"The Haotian Sect came to cause trouble, so I punished them a little."

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Mu said calmly, "As for why we need to subdue the Haotian Sect, there is only one reason: Xiao San needs someone to help him forge hidden weapons, and the Haotian Hammer Soul Master is very suitable."

Upon hearing this, Tang Chen could only smile wryly. The number one weapon spirit in the world was merely a forging tool in Lin Mu's eyes.

Undeniably, a Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master is indeed very suitable to be a blacksmith.

Especially when paired with the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique, weapon forging becomes twice as efficient, saving a lot of stamina and time.

However, despite being the number one weapon spirit in the world, the Clear Sky Hammer can only be used by its spirit masters to forge things, and it is even labeled as such, which inevitably makes it feel like a gem that has been covered in dust.

After a moment, Tang Chen asked again, "Why would the Haotian Sect cause you trouble?"

"That's a long story, and it's a rather cruel one for you. Are you sure you want to know?"

As he said this, a cold glint flashed in Lin Mu's eyes.

He never felt he had done anything wrong in killing the Tang brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.

Strictly speaking, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were not killed by him, but by Tang San. However, regardless of the circumstances, their deaths were inextricably linked to him.

However, he gave Tang Hao many chances, but Tang Hao never cherished them.

Seeing that Lin Mu's attitude had clearly cooled down, Tang Chen's expression gradually became serious, realizing that things were probably not as simple as he had imagined.

After a moment of silence, he said with particular determination, "I want to know the specifics."

"Alright, to put it simply, about twenty years ago, the Spirit Hall sent people to hunt down your grandson Tang Hao, shortly after Xiao San was born."

Over the next period of time, Lin Mu recounted the whole story in detail.

This includes the Spirit Hall's hunting of 100,000-year-old spirit beasts and Tang San's almost tragic childhood. The turning point came when he became an apprentice at Notting Academy, and finally he was able to live a decent life.

But things didn't go as planned. Tang Hao, who had hardly ever fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, suddenly came to Tang San's door and even attacked him repeatedly.

Ultimately, these conflicts erupted after Ah Yin was taken away.

If Tang Hao had trusted Tang San a little more, or treated Tang San better, none of this would have happened.

"how so."

Tang Chen became dazed. Although he hadn't spent much time with his two grandsons, they were, after all, his bloodline and had inherited his Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit.

What he found most unacceptable was that Tang Hao deserved all of this, and even caused the death of his elder brother.

Thinking of this, Tang Chen suddenly felt a surge of anger and coughed up a mouthful of blood. (End of Chapter)
