A month ago, after leaving the City of Slaughter, Tang Chen followed his long-sealed memories and arrived at the entrance of the former site of the Haotian Sect.

"Strange, I remember this place. How did it get like this?"

The Clear Sky Sect relocated more than a decade ago, and after being destroyed by the Spirit Hall and weathered over the years, the old site that Tang Chen sees now bears no trace of the Clear Sky Sect that once stood there.

"Let me think."

He has now inherited Tang Chen's original memories, but he also needs to digest these things. Just like Philip's Earth Library, you can't expect him to have read every book, right?
Tang Chen closed his eyes, recalling the bits and pieces of information about the Haotian Sect from his original memories.

A moment later, a look of understanding flashed in Tang Chen's eyes.

"I remember now. Whenever the Haotian Sect is in danger, go to the place where you fought with Qian Daoliu."

Thinking of this, Tang Chen sped off in the direction he remembered.

······
"Halt! The Haotian Sect's headquarters is just ahead. Unauthorized personnel, please stop here!" The guard, gripping the Haotian Hammer tightly, imposingly blocked Tang Chen's path.

The main problem is that this old guy just fell from the sky without the surrounding villages noticing, which makes it hard not to be wary.

Tang Chen smiled slightly, and a gleaming Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand. Nine dazzling spirit rings shimmered beneath his feet, as if telling the story of his origins. He casually tossed out a unique token, his tone indifferent: "Does the Clear Sky Sect not even recognize me now?"

The guard took the token, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints in surprise and excitement. He knelt down respectfully and said, "Greetings, Elder Sect Master! Welcome back, Elder Sect Master!"

Tang Chen raised his hand slightly, gently helped the guard up, and said expressionlessly, "No need for formalities. I haven't been back to the sect for a long time. Please take me in."

The guard immediately and without hesitation opened the sect's barrier, without a shred of doubt. The Clear Sky Hammer, the nine soul rings, the token—all these were unmistakably genuine; how could they possibly be faked?
As soon as the sect's barrier was activated, the guard shouted excitedly, "The old sect master has returned to the sect!" This shout was like a clap of thunder in spring, instantly shaking the entire Haotian Sect. Disciples flocked to the sect like a tidal wave, all coming to pay their respects to this legendary figure who had returned.

Tang Ziyi, the acting sect leader, was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Finally!
The old sect leader has finally returned.

God knows how much humiliation they've suffered over the years.

Especially that bastard Tang Hao, because of him, the Haotian Sect has been unfairly blamed for so many things.

It also included a sect leader and three elders, plus a complete set of Haotian Sect's inherited soul bones.

This caused the Haotian Sect, which was originally preparing to make a comeback, to return to a state of seclusion.

Tang Chen's arrival filled the Haotian Sect with ecstatic joy, especially the current elders and the acting sect leader. They all knew that only with the return of the old sect leader could they regain their former prestige and glory.

"Welcome, Elder Sect Master!"

Led by the acting sect leader Tang Ziyi, the elders respectfully welcomed Tang Chen's arrival. Their faces were filled with excitement and respect, and their eyes sparkled with indescribable joy.

"Greetings, Elder Sect Master!"

A large number of disciples gathered around. Although they did not speak, the sincerity and respect in their eyes spoke volumes.

"No need for formalities." Tang Chen slightly raised his hand, and an invisible force lifted everyone up. His voice was deep and reassuring, as if telling everyone that everything would be alright.

Amidst enthusiastic cheers, Tang Chen strode into the hall and settled confidently into the head seat, resembling a radiant king. Everyone in the hall felt the powerful aura emanating from him, and smiles involuntarily appeared on their faces. He was, after all, a legendary figure who could rival Qian Daoliu at the pinnacle of the heavens, practically invincible on earth; his formidable strength inspired awe in all who beheld him.

Tang Chen surveyed everyone present, gently tapping the armrest of the old chair. His voice was calm as water, yet carried an invisible pressure: "It seems that the Clear Sky Sect has experienced many ups and downs in my absence these past few decades." Although his tone was indifferent, everyone keenly sensed the hidden anger within him. The Soul Pressure of a Limit Douluo instantly enveloped the entire hall, making everyone hold their breath.

Tang Ziyi, who had reverted to his former form as the Fourth Elder, hurriedly interjected, "Sect Master, this is all due to the coercion of the Spirit Hall. If it weren't for that, the Clear Sky Sect wouldn't have fallen to this state." The Fifth Elder, Tang Fangrui, also eagerly echoed, "Sect Master, you're back! Fortunately, otherwise the Clear Sky Sect would have remained in seclusion for who knows how long!"

"Now that I'm back, the Haotian Sect will naturally reappear in the world, and no one can stop it." Tang Chen nodded slightly, his tone still calm, yet carrying an undeniable firmness. "Anyone who dares to obstruct the Haotian Sect's return will die!"

Upon hearing these powerful words, the three elders felt a great weight lifted from their shoulders; the burden that had weighed on them for twenty years was finally lifted. The old sect leader was indeed still the same old sect leader; his calm tone concealed the most ruthless threat! Who dared to hinder his return?
"Why are there only three of you left? Where's Shuming? Where's Ming'er? And where are Xiao'er, Hao'er, and Yuehua?"

Leosley had told Tang Chen about the recent situation of the Haotian Sect, but since he had "just returned," he would definitely ask about it on purpose.

"Old Sect Master, Yuehua runs an academy in Tiandou City, providing supplies for our seclusion. However, both the Sect Master and the others have died in battle, as have the three elders of the Haotian Sect."

Tang Ziyi didn't mention Tang Hao, mainly because he couldn't bring himself to say that name.

"What's going on? Tell me from the beginning!" Tang Chen said, feigning anger.

"It's all that bastard Tang Hao's fault! If it weren't for him, the sect leader and the others wouldn't have died!" The Fifth Elder was furious, pointing outside and cursing.

Although the Sixth Elder was more irritable than the Fifth Elder, he still explained the reason to Tang Chen.

"Enough!" Tang Chen slammed his hand on the chair, shattering it and causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"Please calm down, Elder Sect Master!"

The three elders hurriedly knelt down.

"What's the use of saying all this now? In the years I've been gone, have you all learned how to shirk responsibility? What did I teach you before?" Tang Chen rebuked sharply.

The three elders also kept their heads down and remained silent.

"There are only Haotian Sect disciples who died in battle, not Haotian Sect disciples who surrendered. Why was an order to retire issued? If it were Ning Fengzhi, he certainly wouldn't have ordered retirement, but would have used this opportunity to form alliances against the Spirit Hall. Moreover, he abandoned his affiliated clans. What will others think of us? Are we making a laughing stock of our Haotian Sect?"

"But let's not talk about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now. Ning Fengzhi truly deserves to be the most outstanding sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He has guts, daring to even steal the soul bones of our Haotian Sect!"

Tang Chen felt no pity for Ning Fengzhi, who could never break through to the Soul Douluo level in his lifetime; he only felt affirmation.

Tang Chen couldn't help but admire how someone had managed to build a sect into what it is today through sheer wisdom.

From the memories he saw, Tang Chen used to manage the sect almost entirely through brute force, and even the former Killing City was conquered through fear.

In the end, Ning Fengzhi relied on his brain. (End of Chapter)
