Douluo: Reincarnated in Danheng, a Unique Journey of Pioneering

Chapter 145 Shouting at the Mountain Gate

In the Heavenly Dou Empire, three hundred miles east of Heavenly Dou City, Dan Heng and Tang Chen stood not far from what appeared to be an ordinary village, gazing at the situation inside.

"here."

Dan Heng was somewhat puzzled. If he hadn't sensed the presence of many powerful Soul Masters in the village, he would have doubted whether he had gone to the wrong place.

According to the Spirit Hall's records, the Clear Sky Sect's secluded place should be in this location.

But to be honest, if you put aside the Soul Masters in the village, everything here looks no different from an ordinary village.

Just like the Holy Soul Village that Danheng once visited.

The once number one sect in the world shouldn't have fallen to this state, right?
"This is the place, no doubt about it."

Tang Chen's gaze passed through the village and went straight to the high mountain behind it.

He might be wrong about other things, but in this matter, his perception is infallible. Behind that mountain lies the secluded place of the Haotian Sect!
Following Tang Chen's gaze, Dan Heng also released his spiritual power to probe, only to discover that behind the small hill behind the village was a vast, continuous mountain range.

Such treacherous terrain, if used properly and guarded by strong individuals, would indeed be difficult to breach.

The purpose of establishing a village at the foot of this mountain was not only to protect the sect from being discovered, but also to be able to know in advance and prepare for danger when it comes.

The title of "Number One Sect Under Heaven" is indeed well-deserved.

"What a coward!"

However, when Tang Chen saw the scene in the village ahead, he felt as if something was pressing down on his chest.

Why would the mighty Haotian Sect need to set up a village outside its mountain gate to mislead others?
Thinking of this, Tang Chen flew angrily toward the village.

"Who is coming!"

Just as Tang Chen arrived at the village and stepped inside, two middle-aged men who had just returned from working in the fields quickly blocked his way.

However, when they saw Tang Chen's appearance clearly, they were all stunned for a moment.

How come this person looks so much like their old sect leader Tang Chen, who disappeared decades ago?
No, this appearance, and that imposing aura, it's practically their old sect leader Tang Chen himself!

Could it be that the old sect leader has really returned?

Tang Chen looked at the middle-aged men in front of him with a complicated expression. He wanted to lash out, but then he considered that these were all disciples of their Haotian Sect and his relatives.

"Call out your current sect leader."

In the end, Tang Chen suppressed his emotions and spoke calmly.

But as soon as he spoke, the expressions of the several middle-aged men changed immediately.

Although the person in front of them looked very much like their old sect leader Tang Chen, Tang Chen had disappeared for decades, so how could he suddenly appear?
Could this person be an imposter?

"Sir, we are just villagers and do not know any sect leader."

One of the middle-aged men, enduring Tang Chen's indifferent gaze, stepped forward and responded.

"Summon your current sect leader!"

Tang Chen let out a low roar, and the Haotian Hammer in his hand silently appeared and smashed into the ground.

Upon seeing the Haotian Hammer, the villagers dared not neglect it and quickly invited Tang Chen into the village.

As for Dan Heng beside Tang Chen, the villagers didn't pay much attention to him. Perhaps he was a friend of the person who was suspected to be the old sect leader?
"Please wait here, sir, we will go and report this immediately."

After settling Tang Chen and Dan Heng in, the group left. Tang Chen rubbed his temples and leaned back helplessly.

"These are all collateral relatives of the Haotian Sect. Those guys must have all hidden in the mountains."

"Hmm, I'll go out and take a look." Dan Heng sat in the room for a while, feeling a bit bored. If those people were to cross the mountain behind the village to report to the Haotian Sect Master, it would probably take quite a long time.

Danheng, who couldn't stay still, started wandering around the village. The people here were generally weak, but they were by no means helpless commoners.

The villagers were quite wary of Dan Heng, an outsider. Some adults even took their children back into their houses when they saw him pass by.

"Not very popular. Are people here so xenophobic?"

Danheng naturally noticed these things as well. The villagers weren't particularly friendly to outsiders, but he didn't care. He was just there to stroll around and see what it was like.

Meanwhile, the men who went to deliver the message returned to Tang Chen, but the person they brought was not the one Tang Chen wanted to see.

"May I ask what business you have with our sect leader?"

A burly man dressed in gray scanned Tang Chen up and down, his eyes filled with undisguised shock.

At first, he didn't believe the news. Tang Chen had been missing for decades, how could he suddenly reappear?

Moreover, if Ancestor Tang Chen had returned, why would he stay here? Shouldn't he have gone directly into the Haotian Sect to find the current sect leader?

But the person in front of him looked exactly like the Tang Chen Ancestor in the portrait! Even the aura he exuded was almost identical to what the older generation had described.

"Heh, I originally wanted to see how strong the disciples of the Haotian Sect are now, but never mind, let's use the most direct method!"

Tang Chen did not answer the gray-clad burly man's question, but silently stood up and walked to the group.

Faced with Tang Chen's extremely imposing aura, the burly man in gray couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

But he didn't retreat even a step. He just stared intently at Tang Chen, black light surging in his hand, and the Haotian Hammer had already appeared.

"Recognize this?"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the gray-clad burly man and the others, Tang Chen took out the golden Haotian Hammer, a symbol of his sect leader status.

Then, before the others could react, it suddenly took flight and flew all the way to the top of the mountain behind the village.

Upon seeing this, several figures immediately rushed towards the back mountain.

"broken!"

Upon seeing this, the burly man in gray slapped his forehead and quickly gave chase.

That was truly our own ancestor!
The moment Tang Long, the burly man in gray, saw the Haotian Token, he believed Tang Chen's identity.

Because it's impossible for anyone to snatch the Haotian Token from Ancestor Tang Chen!

Tang Chen took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar towards the endless mountain range ahead:

"All of you from the Haotian Sect, come out here!"

With Tang Chen's roar, his terrifying aura swept out in all directions, echoing throughout the mountains.

Dan Heng, who was far away at the foot of the mountain, naturally heard Tang Chen's roar.

“Those messengers shouldn’t have been able to deliver the message so quickly.”

Noticing the increasingly wary gazes of the surrounding villagers, Dan Heng sighed helplessly and set off, flying directly towards the summit of the back mountain.

"It seems that those people did not report to the Haotian Sect Master, but only summoned a few ordinary disciples."

After opening his mental energy detection, Dan Heng immediately understood why Tang Chen had made this move.
