Chapter 227: The Clear Sky Sect and Tang San arrive as reinforcements; Tang San

The emperors of the two empires and all high-level officials and other important figures were gathered in a meeting at this moment. Their faces held a surprise—a glimmer of hope in their despair—because they had received news that the Clear Sky Sect had come out of seclusion and was about to arrive to assist them.

This at least gave them some confidence and hope in resisting the Spirit Empire's army.

"Report!!!"

At this moment, a soldier rushed in with a joyful expression: "Your Majesties! They have arrived! Clear Sky Sect Master Tang Xiao has arrived!!"

"Good! They have arrived at a good time!"

"Quick! Invite Sect Master Tang into the hall!!"

The Xingluo Emperor and the Xue Beng Emperor hurriedly left the hall to welcome them, giving Tang Xiao the highest reception etiquette.

Soon, they saw that besides Tang Xiao, there was another person: Tang San, who had been missing for over two years.

"This is! Xiao San!"

"Tang San!"

Seeing Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Zhao Wuji, as well as Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun—those who had originally been at Shrek Academy and later joined the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy—were quite pleasantly surprised.

These old acquaintances immediately surrounded Tang San, greeting him very enthusiastically and asking about his situation over the past two years. They could feel that the current Tang San seemed to be a different person from before.

But Tang San's response made these old friends feel a sense of distance and unfamiliarity.

Tang San just nodded with a forced smile, his mood quite calm: "It's been a long time, everyone."

Only Yu Xiaogang did not notice that Tang San had already become distant and indifferent toward them. He was excited, with snot and tears running down his face, and grabbed Tang San's arm, crying out: "Xiao San! Where have you been these past two years? Teacher has been looking for you so hard! Teacher thought... thought you had already..."

"Why didn't you come to find Teacher these past two years!"

"Even just sending a message to contact Teacher would have been fine!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, his legs crippled by Lin Yu, and his third leg also long since destroyed, leaving him a eunuch, a flash of indifference crossed Tang San's eyes again.

Tang San no longer took this former teacher to heart.

The bond between master and disciple had long since faded, but since he was a teacher whom Tang San had once knelt before on both knees, he would still try to maintain some semblance of a master-disciple relationship on the surface.

As for why he didn't come to find him as Yu Xiaogang asked? Tang San really wanted to laugh, thinking: What's the use of finding you?

What else can you teach me?

A level 29 piece of trash finding you—if I encounter danger, can you protect me?

If things went wrong, I might die halfway to finding Yu Xiaogang, and it would waste the time I, Tang San, need to develop and grow.

Tang San put on a very fake smile: "Teacher, let's talk about this later."

After saying this, Tang San pulled away Yu Xiaogang's hand from his arm and walked with Tang Xiao toward the two emperors.

"This... Xiao San, you..."

Yu Xiaogang was stunned. No matter how slow he was, he could feel that Tang San no longer cared about him as much.

Looking at Tang San's back, Yu Xiaogang felt some resentment. His disciple, whom he hadn't seen in two years, actually didn't want to reminisce or care about him, just saying "talk later" and ignoring him?

How could he treat his teacher like this!!

With so many important people here, this made Yu Xiaogang lose a bit of face!

But even though Yu Xiaogang was unhappy inside, he didn't dare to say anything more.

He understood that this disciple was his only chance for a comeback. The reason he could occupy a certain position in the joint armies of the two empires was because of this Tang San who could become a god.

He had to rely on Tang San, so Yu Xiaogang didn't dare to say a single bad word about him now.

"Clear Sky Sect Master Tang Xiao."

"Clear Sky Sect disciple Tang San greets the two Majesties!"

"Quick! Sect Master Tang Xiao, little brother Tang San, please come in!!" The two emperors hurriedly invited them to be seated, not daring to be the least bit negligent.

One was the Clear Sky Sect Master, the other was a successor to a god. Tang Xiao and Tang San were now the saviors of their two empires, the only important figures who could turn the tide.

Everyone soon entered the hall and took their seats. Tang San wanted to get straight to the point: "The situation is critical, so other matters can be discussed later. Now, let us focus on discussing the current response strategy."

"Good! Good!"

The Xingluo Emperor hurriedly asked: "Sect Master Tang Xiao, little brother Tang San, do you two have a strategy for the current situation?"

Tang Xiao looked at Tang San, and Tang San nodded, stood up, and said: "Yes!"

"Over a thousand members of the Clear Sky Sect have collectively come out of seclusion to assist the Xingluo and Heaven Dou Empires. In at most half a day, they will arrive outside this city."

"When the Spirit Empire's army attacks the city, your joint armies can directly open the gates and meet them head-on. Our Clear Sky Sect will lie in ambush at the foot of the mountain a few kilometers south of the city."

"Once the two armies are locked in fierce battle and chaos, we will strike from the flank, catching the Spirit Empire off guard, and kill the enemy's Titled powerhouses and other main generals as quickly as possible to temporarily repel the Spirit Empire's army."

"Meet them head-on? This..."

Everyone frowned upon hearing this.

Xue Beng couldn't help but ask: "Tang San, although Lin Yu and the Spirit Hall's Seven Great Offering Elders—those top powerhouses—are not here, there are still nearly ten Titled Douluo powerhouses in the enemy army, such as Lin Tian, Ju, Gui, and others."

"Even if the Clear Sky Sect launches a surprise attack from the flank, can... can they repel the Spirit Empire's army?"

They understood Tang San's meaning.

Opening the gates to fight head-on—in the chaos of the two armies, the Clear Sky Sect, a force the enemy completely did not expect, would emerge to launch a surprise attack from the flank. This would surely catch them off guard and strike the Spirit Empire's army when they were least prepared.

But the Spirit Empire had clouds of spirit master powerhouses and numerous Titled Douluo. No matter how strong the Clear Sky Sect was, they only had over a thousand spirit masters. How many Titled Douluo could they have?

Currently, the two empires did not know that the Clear Sky Sect had six Titled Douluo.

Tang Xiao said quite confidently: "I am a level 98 Titled Douluo, and my Clear Sky Sect has five other Titled Douluo-level powerhouses. Plus, Xiao San's current strength can also defeat low-level Titled Douluo. As long as Lin Yu of the Spirit Hall and that group of Offering Elders are not here, repelling the Spirit Empire's army will be a piece of cake."

"What! Tang San's strength is already comparable to a Titled Douluo powerhouse?"

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Yu Xiaogang, and the others were very surprised to hear this.

Yu Xiaogang was even more shameless: "A Titled Douluo! I have cultivated a powerhouse comparable to a Titled Douluo!!"

The Xingluo Emperor was very pleasantly surprised: "I didn't expect that after the Clear Sky Sect had been in seclusion for many years, the sect would not only not become weaker but even stronger."

"In this way, we have seven Titled Douluo-level powerhouses. Although the enemy has more Titled Douluo than us, they don't have a single high-level Titled Douluo. Sect Master Tang Xiao, at level 98, can hold off multiple Titled powerhouses of the Spirit Empire."

"In this way, with the Clear Sky Sect launching a surprise attack from the flank, we indeed have a high possibility of repelling the Spirit Empire's army!"

Everyone's faces revealed joy upon hearing this.
