Chapter 223: Tang San Decides to Go to Sea God Island
At Shrek Academy.
Since Tang San experienced the Tiandou Palace incident, he seemed to have changed a lot. Not only because he had been suppressed during his fight with Qian Renxue, but also purely injured.
What surprised him even more was the conversation between Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue.
During this recent period, especially in the Star Dou Forest, he had heard Yang Xiong talking about the mystical Herb "Qirong Tongtianju" with Ju Douluo. Tang San was quite surprised, as he hadn't expected that the immortal herbs mentioned in the Xuantian Treasure Record actually existed in the Douluo world.
If it had only been Ju Douluo talking about it, he might not have thought much about it. But this time, Yang Xiong gave Qian Renxue a Water Fairy Jade Bone. While others might not know the significance of the Water Fairy Jade Bone, Tang San was very clear about its importance.
At this moment, Tang San was not only extremely surprised but also furious. He never imagined that Yang Xiong had multiple immortal herbs. Especially after the previous conversation, it was basically confirmed that Yang Xiong had already consumed the Qirong Tongtianju.
No wonder Yang Xiong's strength was so formidable; he had used the Qirong Tongtianju to forge an indestructible body.
What was worse was that because of his transaction with Yang Xiong, where he gave him the Purple Extreme Magic Eyes, it now seemed that Yang Xiong had gained tremendous benefits from the exchange and had even reached a level Tang San had never attained.
Tang San was well aware of the types and effects of the immortal herbs in the Xuantian Treasure Record. If such herbs truly existed in the Douluo Continent, did it mean that he also had a chance to find them?
Unfortunately, no matter how many books Tang San went through or how much he consulted with Yu Xiaogang, he couldn't find any mention of the immortal herbs, as if it was all just a legend. Yet, Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue were living proof.
However, after hearing about Sea God Island, Tang San's eyes seemed to light up. He felt that Sea God Island was his greatest opportunity and the best place to increase his soul power.
During the Tiandou Palace incident, Tang San and Tang Hao had helped the Tiandou Royal Family a lot. Even Yu Xiaogang and the others had also assisted the Tiandou Royal Family.
Emperor Xue Ye specifically rewarded Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the others, not only by conferring titles but also by granting certain rewards. He promised to support Shrek Academy's reconstruction.
Unfortunately, despite this, Tang San had missed out on the crucial "Hanhai Qiankun Shield."
While Tang Hao was communicating with Tang San, a tall black figure appeared outside the room.
When Tang Hao saw the newcomer, even his usually unshakable self couldn't hold back tears, and he looked extremely moved.
"Big Brother!"
Tang Xiao tightly embraced Tang Hao, "Hao Di, you've suffered all these years."
Tang Hao seemed to sob a bit, "Big Brother, I'm fine. I'm the one who is sorry to you and the sect."
Tang Xiao quickly comforted him, "It's all in the past. Everything is fine with the sect now, and what happened back then wasn't all your fault."
Tang Hao quickly pulled Tang San over, "Xiao San, this is your uncle, Tang Xiao, the man I respect the most."
Tang San quickly bowed, "I greet Uncle Tang."
Tang Xiao nodded, a slight smile on his face, "Not bad, you really are the son of Hao Di and A Yin. Even at such a young age, you possess such strength. In the future, Haotian Sect will rely on you to flourish."
...
The two brothers were deeply moved after being reunited after so long, as if they had endless things to say.
At this moment, Tang Hao, a bit confused, spoke up, "Big Brother, why did you suddenly leave Haotian Sect? Did something happen?"
Tang Xiao shook his head, "The sect is fine. This time, I had a major matter to confirm in person, so I left Haotian Sect."
Tang Hao quickly asked, "What's this big matter?"
Tang Xiao's expression grew serious, "Yang Xiong from Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School sent me a message via Yuehua, saying he knows the whereabouts of our grandfather, Tang Chen. I thought it was of great importance, so I went to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in person."
Tang Hao was immediately stunned, "Grandfather? How is that possible? Grandfather has been missing for fifty years, and there's not a single word about him in the soul master world. How could Yang Xiong possibly know about him?"
Tang San was equally shocked. He had also heard of his great-grandfather, Tang Chen, the legendary 99th-level Limit Douluo, a god-like figure in the soul master world. How could Yang Xiong know such information?
Tang Xiao shook his head, "I don't know if the information is true, which is why I personally visited Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. But I fear that this information is difficult to verify. Hao Di, you'll have to go in person to investigate."
Tang Hao quickly spoke up, "I'll personally check on Grandfather's whereabouts. I will go investigate the situation."
Tang Xiao looked extremely serious, "According to Yang Xiong, his grandfather is the King of Slaughter from Slaughter City. Slaughter City is a special place, and even I cannot easily go there. Only you can enter and leave freely."
"That's why I've come to find you, I want you to go to Slaughter City and confirm if it's our great-grandfather. If it is, this may be Haotian Sect's opportunity."
Tang Hao remained silent for a long time before finally shaking his head, "Big Brother, I find it strange. Why would Yang Xiong tell you this news?"
"Also, I've fought with the King of Slaughter in Slaughter City. This person's strength is incredibly strong. Even without using soul skills, he could suppress me. I felt that this person's physical strength and combat ability were extraordinary. It's unlike anything I've ever encountered."
Tang Xiao quickly asked, "Then can you confirm if it was our great-grandfather?"
Tang Hao shook his head, "Based on my previous experiences, I cannot confirm. I need to go to Slaughter City again."
Tang Xiao nodded, "Hao Di, this time I really need you to go. If you confirm that the King of Slaughter is our great-grandfather, we must find a way to rescue him. With his strength, he will definitely be able to strike fear into Spirit Hall and help Haotian Sect seek justice."
Tang Hao quickly spoke, "Big Brother, I'll prepare to go to Slaughter City. I'll confirm if the King of Slaughter is our great-grandfather."
Tang Xiao continued, "Hao Di, wait a moment. I have another question for you. Think carefully about this."
Tang Hao was a little confused, "Big Brother, what's there that we can't talk about as brothers?"
Tang Xiao's face became serious, though also filled with pain.
"Hao Di, when you fought with Qian Xunji, how badly was he injured? Was he truly so gravely wounded that he couldn't survive?"
Tang Hao's eyes showed a hint of fear. That battle with Qian Xunji had been the start of his nightmares, and it had also led to Haotian Sect's downfall. It was taboo for both Tang Hao and Haotian Sect.
"Big Brother, why are you asking about this suddenly?"
Tang Xiao shook his head, "I recently received some news. It says that Qian Xunji didn't die from your injury, but was actually killed by someone from within Spirit Hall."
"If this information is true, then everything that happened to Haotian Sect, even what happened to you, could have been part of a massive conspiracy."
"Spirit Hall sacrificed one of their Pope's lives to force Haotian Sect into seclusion, and they gained twenty years of rapid development in return. This plot is terrifying."
Tang Hao was also greatly startled, and soon his mind wandered back to that battle. He reviewed everything in detail.
Finally, Tang Hao shook his head, "Big Brother, I can't confirm it. But back then, to fight Qian Xunji and his two Title Douluos, I used Haotian Sect's Great Xumi Hammer, which maximized my power."
"But at the critical moment, I actually held back. I didn't truly kill Qian Xunji. Even before he left, he said he would come back for revenge."
Tang Xiao's expression darkened. "It seems this news is true. With Spirit Hall's foundation, even if Qian Xunji had been heavily injured, he likely wouldn't have died."
"Moreover, Spirit Hall has many healing experts, as well as soul masters with unique soul skills. They would never let their Pope die easily. It seems that Qian Xunji's death was indeed suspicious, and the mastermind behind it is probably the current Pope, Bibi Dong."
At this point, both Tang Hao and Tang San were deeply moved. They hadn't expected that the great battle from years ago was a conspiracy. If that's the case, then both A Yin's death and Haotian Sect's forced retreat were all orchestrated by Spirit Hall.
Tang Hao gritted his teeth, "Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, they're ruthless and merciless."
Tang Xiao sighed, "Hao Di, it's too late now. Qian Xunji has been dead for many years, and there's no evidence left. But Spirit Hall will eventually have to pay us back what they owe."
Tang Hao nodded, "Big Brother, what is the situation with Haotian Sect now?"
Tang Xiao smiled, "Haotian Sect is doing well now, even better than before. All five of the Great Elders have reached the level of Title Douluos. If you and I join in, we won't let Spirit Hall bully us again."
Tang Hao was delighted, "That's good! I'll be at ease now."
"By the way, Big Brother, I want Xiao San to go back to the sect for some training. His Haotian Hammer is still lacking, and with Xiao San being a twin martial soul, he will definitely be able to raise the Haotian Hammer to an even higher level."
Tang Xiao nodded, "Xiao San is a disciple of Haotian Sect, so it's only natural that he returns. If you confirm that the King of Slaughter is our great-grandfather, then not only Xiao San, but you can also return to Haotian Sect with us."
Tang Hao was immediately thrilled, "Big Brother, is this really okay? I'm worried that the Great Elders will have objections."
Tang Xiao looked stern, "What happened back then wasn't your fault. It was all part of Spirit Hall's conspiracy against us. Besides, we have many things to deal with, including Haotian Sect coming out of seclusion and the overall situation of the world. Spirit Hall clearly has ill intentions, and they will likely make more moves."
At this point, Tang San, who had been very excited, suddenly spoke, "Father, Uncle, I've decided to go to Sea God Island for training."
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were both taken aback. "Xiao San, do you know what Sea God Island is like? It's a dangerous place, and once you join, you can never leave. You really need to think it through."
Tang San immediately asked, "Father, Uncle, you two know about Sea God Island?"
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao exchanged a glance. Finally, Tang Hao sighed. "Xiao San, actually, your Uncle and I went to Sea God Island once. The soul masters there are extremely strong, and their martial souls and training methods are different from ours."
"Of course, the most important thing is that the Grand Priest of Sea God Island, Poseidon, is a 99th-level Limit Douluo. His strength is formidable, especially on the sea. Even our grandfather, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu from Spirit Hall were defeated by Poseidon."
"Back then, we were just following our grandfather's orders to deliver a message to Poseidon. After we delivered the message, our grandfather completely disappeared from the soul master world. That was the true beginning of Haotian Sect's downfall."
Tang San's gaze became resolute. "Father, Uncle, I feel that my Blue Silver Grass training has slowed down, and I'm restricted during my cultivation. I think Sea God Island might be my greatest opportunity. I'm sure I can grow quickly there."
After hearing this, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao exchanged helpless looks. Finally, they detailed the situation of Sea God Island to Tang San, including its taboos and important precautions.
