Chapter 224: Tang Hao and Tang Xiao
Since meeting Tang Xiao, Yang Xiong had accelerated his plans to relocate the entire Body Sect to the Thunderclap Canyon.
The five Elders moved quickly, and even the Body Academy's preparations were swift. They only needed to pack their normal life essentials and materials.
In a world with soul tools, and especially considering that Yang Xiong had recently acquired a large sum of wealth, moving wasn't too difficult. Even Oscar, Qin Shuang, Ning Rongrong, and Yang Wei joined in to help.
One day, Oscar suddenly found Yang Xiong, looking a bit troubled.
Yang Xiong placed an arm around Oscar's neck, smiling, "Little Ao, we are brothers, what's there to hide? Seeing your face, I thought you had your eyes on some young girl again."
Oscar quickly responded, "Xiong Ge, I'm devoted to Shuang Shuang. The main thing is, recently, Dai Lao Da found me and said they were planning to go to Sea God Island for training, and they wanted to invite me along."
Yang Xiong frowned, "Sea God Island? That place is no joke, why would Dai Mubai come looking for you?"
Oscar nodded, "You should know, among all the people in Shrek Academy, Dai Lao Da and I have the closest relationship. We enrolled at the same time, and I spent three more years with him than with you."
Yang Xiong laughed, "It's normal for brothers to hang out. Don't think too much about it. But did Dai Mubai mention anything specific?"
Oscar quickly explained, "This time, the trip to Sea God Island is organized by Tang San. He said it's full of danger, but also huge opportunities. Apart from Tang San and Xiao Wu, Dai Lao Da, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Yu Tianheng, and Dugu Yan are also going. They probably didn't mention it to you yet because you've been so busy."
Yang Xiong shook his head, "Sea God Island does have great opportunities, but it's also fraught with danger. It demands both soul masters' talent and effort. A slight mistake could result in death."
"Especially for land soul masters, it's even stricter. The difficulty of the trials there is ten times that of Sea Spirit Masters. It's practically a death sentence. I hope they'll be lucky."
Oscar's face showed some confusion, "Xiong Ge, how do you know so much about Sea God Island?"
Yang Xiong smiled, "Reading books is useful. There are very few things in this world I don't know. Sea God Island is indeed a great place, but right now, I'm still busy. Once the Body Sect is settled, I'll have the time to go. You should understand, establishing a new sect comes with various problems."
Oscar smiled, "Xiong Ge, I understand. I'll go to Sea God Island later."
Yang Xiong shook his head helplessly, "Sea God Island isn't that simple. I hope they don't get hurt there."
Oscar looked puzzled, "Is Sea God Island really that dangerous?"
Yang Xiong's expression turned serious, "Sea God Island is also known as Devil Island. Ordinary soul masters can join, but they can never leave. Not even Haotian Sect or Spirit Hall dares to be reckless there. The Grand Priest of Sea God Island is a 99th-level Limit Douluo. On the sea, he is practically invincible."
"However, Sea God Island is indeed a paradise for cultivation. It has various unique methods that can greatly enhance a soul master's physical quality, and even significantly raise their soul power. But everything is filled with danger."
Oscar, hearing how serious Yang Xiong was, fell silent.
Sure enough, just one day later, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing personally visited Yunwu Mountain, mainly to discuss the Sea God Island training and to invite Yang Xiong and the others to join.
But Yang Xiong had matters to attend to and couldn't leave immediately. He could only remind Dai Mubai of the important things to pay attention to on Sea God Island.
Of course, Yang Xiong looked at Dai Mubai and the others with a bit of helplessness. Without the immortal herbs, Dai Mubai and the others' soul power levels were clearly much weaker. He wasn't sure if they could still get as high a rank as in the original story.
More importantly, without Oscar and Ning Rongrong, the top-tier support, he wondered if they could even pass the trials.
Especially Tang San, who lacked the Hanhai Qiankun Shield, and without the second awakening of the Ice Fire Refining Body and the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, it seemed unlikely he could pass the Sea God Nine Tests.
Time passed quickly, and nearly half a month had gone by. The Body Sect's preparations in Yunwu Mountain were almost complete, and thousands of people were ready to head to Thunderclap Canyon.
Among them, besides the three major single-attribute families and the Gai Shi Long She family, there were over a thousand soul masters.
In addition to the soul masters, each family had some regular members who, while not soul masters, were indispensable to the families.
All the teachers and students of the Body Academy, except for those from the original Body Sect families, and some ordinary students, including dozens of students with the Body Martial Soul, were also moving.
In addition, Ni Guo had gathered several thousand craftsmen through Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and other means, mainly to help with the construction of the Body Sect.
Now that the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon family had been reduced to ruins, many places needed rebuilding. It would cost more than just establishing a new sect.
...
Tang Hao finally returned from Slaughter City, looking much more injured than when he left.
Tang Xiao appeared exceptionally worried, "Hao Di, how are your injuries? You didn't fight the King of Slaughter again, did you?"
Tang Hao shook his head, "Big Brother, I'm fine. After this battle with the King of Slaughter, and based on his appearance and other characteristics, I suspect the King of Slaughter is our grandfather, Tang Chen. But I don't know why grandfather has become like this. I couldn't even recognize him, and when I called his name, he attacked me."
Tang Xiao was overjoyed, "As long as we confirm that the King of Slaughter is our grandfather, things will be much easier. We'll rescue him no matter what."
Tang Hao quickly spoke, "Big Brother, it's probably not that simple. I feel that Grandfather's mind has completely lost. It's like he's lost all his memories, becoming a bloodthirsty monster. I don't know how to wake him up."
"Also, during my fight with Grandfather, although he didn't use his martial soul and soul rings, I felt that there were faint traces of Haotian Sect techniques in his movements."
"But Grandfather held a blood-red long sword, which was incredibly powerful and filled with killing intent. I suspect that sword is one of the reasons for Grandfather's fall. Unfortunately, even with my strength, I couldn't get any advantage. Even if you and I teamed up, Big Brother, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do anything."
Tang Xiao sighed, "Grandfather is a 99th-level Limit Douluo. His soul power and physical strength far exceed ours. It seems that rescuing him will require more careful planning."
Tang Hao's face showed a bit of frustration, "Big Brother, I'm useless, but no matter what, I will rescue Grandfather, even if I have to sacrifice my life. By the way, Big Brother, what are your plans moving forward?"
Tang Xiao's expression became serious, "At this point, Spirit Hall has gone too far. We, Haotian Sect, must prepare to come out of seclusion."
"Also, since you and Xiao San helped the Tiandou Royal Family, I've spoken with Emperor Xue Ye. He is willing to fully support Haotian Sect's return."
"I've also communicated with Ning Fengzhi from Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and they will help Haotian Sect return as well. Together, we'll fight against Spirit Hall."
Tang Hao was excited, "If we have the strong support of the Tiandou Royal Family, Haotian Sect should have no problem coming out of seclusion. If we come out early, with the support of the three major sects, we should be able to fight Spirit Hall. It's a pity that the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon family has been destroyed."
Tang Hao seemed to think of something, "Big Brother, if we want to rescue Grandfather, I think there's someone who might play a crucial role."
Tang Xiao was puzzled, "Hao Di, is there someone who can help you resist Grandfather? In theory, the only people who can really stand against Grandfather are Qian Daoliu and Poseidon."
Tang Hao quickly spoke, "It's Yang Xiong. During the Tiandou Palace incident, I discovered that his Killing God Domain is completely different from mine. It seems his Killing God Domain has evolved, and he can even suppress mine."
"During my battle with the King of Slaughter, my domain was restricted by him. It seems that both the King of Slaughter and Yang Xiong have Killing God Domains. They may be able to truly counter each other."
Tang Xiao fell silent for a while, then spoke, "I didn't expect it to be Yang Xiong. He was the one who first told me about this secret. But it's still too early. Right now, Yang Xiong is only a Soul Sage. He can't match Grandfather yet."
...
After several days of travel, Yang Xiong and the others finally arrived at the former site of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon family.
What greeted Yang Xiong's eyes was a sea of ruins. All the houses seemed to have been destroyed, but he could still faintly see the grand architecture that had once been.
The Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon family had formed a large fortress for offense and defense.
There were many buildings on the outskirts, functioning as sentry posts.
Next was a river that stretched for nearly a thousand meters. Only by boat could one enter the core of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon family.
Inside the sect, the real Thunderclap Canyon began. Even the core of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon family only resided on the outskirts of the Thunderclap Canyon.
The Thunderclap Canyon was filled with lightning, and the ground was scorched, possessing a terrifying destructive force.
Although the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon family occupied the entire Thunderclap Canyon, the actual area they inhabited was just a few large mountains on the outskirts. According to investigations, the Thunderclap Canyon stretched deep for dozens of kilometers, and the core area was something even the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon family hadn't fully explored.
Yang Xiong carefully observed the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon family's layout, then sighed, feeling sorry for them.
Looking at their situation, the family was located by the mountains and a river that could block enemy advances. The rear was protected by the naturally dangerous Thunderclap Canyon.
If only the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon family had been more vigilant during the Soul Hunting action and had investigated Spirit Hall's marching routes, perhaps they could have fought back using their geographic advantage. They might not have suffered such a crushing defeat.
