Chapter 94 The King of Slaughter's Treacherous Scheme Succeeds? Tang Lie Angrily Rebukes Chang'an!
"Who goes there?!"
Tang Xiao and his group were startled by the sound.
The Fourth Elder roared towards the source of the sound:
"What kind of thing is hiding your head and tail? Come out here!!"
The next second, a thick cloud of blood mist surged towards us.
It coalesced in mid-air into a tall, blood-red figure with wings on its back.
His bloodshot eyes swept over Tang Xiao and the others, his contempt and domineering expression undisguised:
"Aren't you looking for me? I am none other than—the King of Slaughter!!!"
The words carried an overwhelming aura of malevolence, causing Tang Xiao and the others to catch their breath.
"What...what a powerful aura!"
Tang Xiao and his group were deeply shaken.
This person's aura can no longer be described by soul power level.
Rather, it is an existence that transcends soul power, perhaps—divine power!
"Wait...you're saying you're the King of Slaughter? Impossible!!!"
Tang Xiao and his group reacted, suddenly realizing something, and exclaimed in shock and anger:
"Isn't the King of Slaughter our grandfather/uncle? How come he's someone we've never seen before? His aura is completely different too!"
The King of Slaughter sneered inwardly.
After he parasitized Tang Chen, his appearance and aura underwent a huge change.
Even Qian Daoliu couldn't see through it, let alone these idiots!
"What nonsense are you ants spouting?"
The King of Slaughter chuckled mockingly, his voice full of sarcasm:
"There are no grandfathers or uncles here, only the King of Slaughter!"
Tang Xiao and the elders turned deathly pale instantly, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
The Fourth Elder clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and roared at the King of Slaughter in mid-air:
"Impossible! The power rankings previously displayed on the sky clearly state that the King of Slaughter is our uncle—Tang Chen!"
"If you are the King of Slaughter, then where is our Uncle Tang Chen?!"
When the King of Slaughter heard the name "Tang Chen," he seemed to lose control and collapsed to the ground.
He covered his head with both hands and looked at the crowd, his domineering and contempt turning into chaos and struggle.
"Tang...Chen..."
A hoarse voice squeezed out of his throat:
"I remember now, I am... Tang Chen! You...you are my family! Xiao'er..."
This was obviously an act, since his goal was to use these fools to fight against Chang'an.
After observing them secretly, he had a general understanding of their relationship with Tang Chen.
To gain his trust, he slowly raised his right hand, revealing Tang Chen's martial soul—the Clear Sky Hammer!
"Haotian Hammer!!!"
Upon seeing this, Tang Xiao and the others cried out in alarm almost simultaneously:
"grandfather!!"
"Uncle!!!"
"Is that really you? Have you lost your memory? How did you become like this?!"
No longer fearing each other, they charged toward the King of Slaughter like madmen, supporting him as they went.
"I...I..."
The King of Slaughter continued to pretend:
"I don't remember clearly. I only know that I was undergoing the Asura God's test at the time, and I failed the final test. I was then consumed by the divine power and fell into a coma..."
"My children, how is the Haotian Sect? Why don't I see Hao'er and Xiao'er's father?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao and the others immediately began to imagine the following scenarios:
"We understand! It must be that you were corrupted by divine power, which changed your appearance and caused you to lose your memory. That's why you're king here and haven't returned to your sect!"
Upon hearing the other party mention the current situation of the Haotian Sect and Tang Hao and others, everyone was instantly filled with grief and indignation.
"Waaaaah...!!"
The second elder, who was the most senior among them, burst into tears and began to frantically recount his grievances.
They recounted the ordeal of the Haotian Sect and shifted all the blame onto Tang Hao.
"No! This isn't entirely Hao's fault!!"
At this moment, Tang Xiao disregarded the elders and poured out the thoughts that had been suppressed in his heart for many years:
"Putting aside the facts, isn't the Spirit Hall also at fault? Hao is still young, what can he understand about right and wrong! He's just a child!"
The elders were stunned, pointing at Tang Xiao and cursing angrily:
"Tang Xiao! What did you say? We've always suspected you were protecting Tang Hao, and now it seems we were right!!"
As the two sides argued, the King of Slaughter roared:
"Enough! Our Haotian Sect has always been one. Even if Hao'er has made a terrible mistake, he is still a member of our Haotian Sect. Outsiders have no right to bully him!"
The King of Slaughter had already figured out Tang Chen's personality from their words—he was protective of his own.
Furthermore, Tang Chen's favorite person is Tang Hao, so there must be no problem with what he said!
More importantly, he had already keenly sensed that another familiar presence was lurking in the shadows.
Those words were less meant for these fools and more meant for the figure lurking in the shadows.
Sure enough, a figure quickly darted out from the shadows, accompanied by cries of excitement and grievance:
"Grandfather—! It really is you!!!"
The newcomer was Tang Hao, who had been following Tang Xiao and the others in and observing them from the shadows.
Seeing the King of Slaughter reveal the Clear Sky Hammer and protect him so much, he completely believed that this was his grandfather, Tang Chen.
He ran crying and screaming to the King of Slaughter, and knelt down with a thud:
"Waaah, Tang Hao is unfilial, implicating the sect! I beg you, Grandfather, to punish him! But I implore you, Grandfather, to seek justice for Tang Hao and demand fairness from the Clear Sky Sect!!"
Tang Xiao and the elders were shocked.
I never expected that Tang Hao would come here too.
Seeing that the big fish had finally taken the bait, the King of Slaughter quickly put on a show:
"Hao...Hao'er! How...how did you become like this! It must be that damned Spirit Hall! I, Tang Chen, swear I will not rest until I avenge this!!"
The elders' faces turned ashen, and they couldn't help but condemn Tang Hao's crimes.
The King of Slaughter noticed this and continued to feign composure, interrupting him with a stern shout:
"I understand how you feel! But what's done is done. Now we should work together to deal with the Spirit Hall and seek justice! As for Hao'er, we'll discuss that another time!"
"I have made up my mind to leave the mountain and return to the sect to lead the sect to seek justice!"
These words both gave the elders a way out and protected Tang Hao.
This perfectly matches Tang Chen's image in everyone's mind as someone who protects his own and considers the overall situation.
The elders were still dissatisfied with Tang Hao, but they dared not disobey him and all nodded respectfully.
"I will obey my uncle's orders! With my uncle's return to the sect, I am confident that I can lead the sect back to the top of the continent!!"
Tang Xiao, standing to the side, already had tears in his eyes, his voice choked with emotion yet full of strength:
"Brother Hao, welcome back! With your grandfather here, we will surely seek justice for you and the sect!"
Feeling the long-lost warmth of family and belonging, Tang Hao's clothes were once again soaked with tears. He nodded vigorously:
"Spirit Hall! Prepare to bear the wrath of the Clear Sky Sect!!"
Suddenly, another series of hurried footsteps and choked cries rang out:
"Brothers, I've finally found you!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that the person who came was none other than the Seventh Elder—Tang Lie!
"Seventh Brother? Didn't you go to visit Chang'an with Third Brother? What are you doing here?!"
The Second Elder asked in surprise.
Just as Tang Lie was about to answer, he noticed the unfamiliar King of Slaughter and Tang Hao.
He hated the latter to the core, and in a fit of rage, he activated his martial spirit to kill him.
"stop!"
Tang Xiao suddenly stopped them and briefly recounted what had just happened.
Upon hearing that the unfamiliar King of Slaughter before him was Tang Chen, he knelt down, broke down, and wept bitterly.
"Uncle, it really is you! Lie'er thought she would never see you again!"
The King of Slaughter pretended to comfort him and advised him to reconcile with Tang Hao for the time being.
But Tang Lie's mind was elsewhere. Recalling what had happened in Chang'an, he immediately roared:
"Uncle! Brothers! You must avenge our third brother! He was killed by those bastards in Chang'an!!"
As he spoke, the image of that incredibly ruthless woman—Mulan—appeared in his mind!
