Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 390: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

"Little sister, it's me."

Tang Hao removed his hood. His voice was slightly distorted, and his haggard appearance was a far cry from the confident and spirited man he had been in his youth.

However, Tang Yuehua, who had always harbored a special affection for Tang Hao, immediately raised her head and recognized the man in front of her as her long-lost second brother, Tang Hao.

Tang Hao summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, and the familiar aura appeared. The two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red spirit ring confirmed his identity.

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua could no longer hold back. She straightened up, quickly stepped forward, and tightly hugged Tang Hao.

"Second brother, second brother, you're still alive. So many years have passed, and you're still alive. This is wonderful!"

"Yuehua..." Looking at Tang Yuehua crying like a child in his arms, Tang Hao barely managed to display the same firm and proud demeanor he had in his youth. But his eyes carried a deep fatigue.

"I won't die. I'm the genius our grandfather praised, the one who inherited the title of Clear Sky Douluo."

"Sob, sob..." Tang Yuehua wiped her tears while clinging to Tang Hao, crying for a long time before finally calming down.

"Second brother, so many years have passed. You've aged. There hasn't been a single piece of news about you all these years. Everyone said you were dead."

"Yes, time flies. It's been so many years. Ever since Ah Yin died under the siege of Spirit Hall, my heart died as well. Back then, to kill Qian Xunji, I had no choice but to use the ring explosion technique. Afterward, I was hunted by that old man Qian Daoliu, gravely injured. And because Ah Yin and I had just had a child, I could only go into hiding temporarily."

"Later, when I learned that the sect was forced into seclusion, a long time had already passed."

"I really, truly... I didn't want any of that to happen back then."

Facing his sister, Tang Hao finally spoke the truth.

Back then, Ah Yin had sacrificed herself, and Tang Hao, in his rage, used the ring explosion technique to launch a devastating attack on Qian Xunji with the Great Sumeru Hammer. However, Tang Hao's original intention was not to kill Qian Xunji but to gravely injure him. He wanted to use Qian Xunji's defeat to undermine the authority of the Spirit Hall and elevate his reputation, paving the way for his future as the Clear Sky Sect's master—a plan that would have achieved multiple goals at once.

But Tang Hao hadn't expected that Qian Xunji would die. Killed with a single blow. This destroyed all of Tang Hao's plans. Afterward, he was relentlessly hunted by Qian Daoliu and reduced to living like a dog.

But Tang Hao only admitted a fraction of the truth. When the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall were engaged in fierce conflict, Tang Hao was well aware of it. However, overwhelmed by grief over Ah Yin's death and wary of Qian Daoliu's pursuit, he hesitated for several months.

By the time the dust settled, Tang Hao learned that his father had died from anger, the Clear Sky Sect had gone into seclusion, and many of its subordinate clans and families had severed ties. Tang Hao felt he had no face to return to the sect and face his kin.

Tang Yuehua, however, didn't care about any of this. Even if their father had died from anger caused by Tang Hao, even if the Clear Sky Sect had gone into seclusion because of him, and even if her current plight was connected to him, none of it mattered. Feeling Tang Hao's warmth and seeing the weariness etched on his face, Tang Yuehua's heart still had room for no one but her second brother.

The sect may be precious, and a father's love even more so, but for her second brother, Tang Yuehua was willing to forsake them both.

Tang Yuehua harbored feelings for Tang Hao that went beyond familial affection, which was why she had remained unmarried to this day. Tang Hao was aware of this but chose not to address it. After crying for a long time, the two siblings sat on Tang Yuehua's bed and started reminiscing about the events of the past years.

Hearing about the hardships Tang Hao had endured over the years, Tang Yuehua's eyes filled with pain. When she learned that her second brother's son had also come to Heaven Dou City, she felt a mix of emotions.

Tang Hao naturally asked about the Clear Sky Sect, about Tang Xiao, and Tang Yuehua herself. He also inquired about why Yuexuan had changed so much.

Hearing Tang Hao's questions, Tang Yuehua began recounting the truth.

After their father had died from anger, their eldest brother, Tang Xiao, became the Clear Sky Sect's master and decided to seal the sect off from the outside world. All the Clear Sky Sect disciples returned to the ancestral home on Clear Sky Peak.

Due to an agreement between their grandfather Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, Spirit Hall never set foot on Clear Sky Peak. Although the Clear Sky Sect suffered heavy losses, it avoided total annihilation.

Initially, Tang Yuehua faced threats and hostility but later returned to the Clear Sky Sect for several years before resuming her life in Heaven Dou City to reopen Moon Pavillion. Over time, things gradually improved.

Several elders in the Clear Sky Sect broke through to the Title Douluo rank, and Moon Pavillion continued to grow. Tang Yuehua even established relationships with nobles in the Heaven Dou Empire.

But about a year ago, the Clear Sky Sect's seventh elder achieved a breakthrough to Title Douluo. When the second and fifth elders took the seventh elder to obtain a soul ring outside Clear Sky Peak, they were discovered by Spirit Hall.

Although it was unclear who had killed the three elders, their severed heads were ultimately delivered to Qian Daoliu. This prompted Qian Daoliu to launch another attack on the Clear Sky Sect. He severely injured Tang Xiao and the remaining two elders before departing again.

Since then, no Clear Sky Sect disciple could leave the ancestral land. Soon after, the continent descended into turmoil. Spirit Hall revealed its hidden strength, exposing a large number of Title Douluo. Even those who had previously maintained vague ties with the Clear Sky Sect severed all connections.

Clear Sky Peak was an excellent place for cultivation, but it could not provide the necessities of life. As a result, all the Clear Sky Sect's food, supplies, and cultivation materials had to be imported. After Spirit Hall revealed its true power, merchants who did business with the sect refused to continue supplying them, cutting off their lifeline.

With no other choice, Tang Yuehua began transporting resources to the Clear Sky Sect herself. However, due to Spirit Hall's dominance, the difficulty of delivering supplies rose tenfold, if not more.

Even after closing Moon Pavillion and using all her savings and connections to send resources to the sect, the Clear Sky Sect still existed in a state of barely surviving.

Hearing this, Tang Hao erupted in rage. His eyes filled with murderous intent, and a faint blood-red hue appeared on his Clear Sky Hammer. His face turned red, his breathing ragged, and he looked as if he wanted to charge at Spirit Hall immediately.

But when he considered Spirit Hall's current strength and Tang San's potential, Tang Hao chose to endure once more.

He retracted the Clear Sky Hammer and began banging his head against the wall, trying to vent the frustration and anguish in his heart.
