Chapter 358: Tang Yuehua's Plan
In the Yuexuan Tea House, Tang Yuehua sat with a worried expression, biting her lip as if deep in thought.
This caused Tang San, who was sitting beside her, to feel confused. His aunt had always been graceful and elegant, rarely showing such an expression.
"Aunt, has something happened?"
"Ah!"
Tang Yuehua was startled out of her thoughts and turned to look at her nephew. Seeing his eager face, she paused for a moment before choosing not to hide the truth.
"The Li Family has been destroyed, just like the Blue Electric Tyrant Clan."
Upon hearing this, Tang San became even more confused. He had heard about the Li Family's situation, but what did it have to do with his aunt?
Tang Yuehua knew exactly what her nephew was thinking. With a sigh, she began to explain.
"The Li Family belongs to one of the four major single-attribute sects, and these four families were once all affiliated with our Haotian Sect."
"What?"
Only then did Tang San understand why his aunt was so worried. Based on the circumstances, it seemed highly likely that the Spirit Hall was behind the Li Family's destruction, and they might very well turn their blades toward Haotian Sect as well.
"Aunt, are you worried that they will eventually target Haotian Sect?"
"That's one concern. The other is that the Li Family has been one of Haotian's staunchest supporters. Their forging skills, which are vital to their survival, were taught to them by Haotian."
"This..."
Tang San felt a pang in his heart. The Spirit Hall not only planned to deal with him and his father, but they were also wiping out affiliated sects. This was despicable. Furthermore, the Li Family was famous for its forging techniques, which could have helped with his research on hidden weapons. Now, all of that was for nothing.
"Little San, how are you controlling your emotions?"
"Aunt, I've grasped the technique. Now, it's just a matter of continuous practice."
Hearing her nephew's response, Tang Yuehua nodded with satisfaction and a gentle smile, secretly thinking that he was indeed Haotian's son.
"Very good. But I want to tell you that your time at Yuexuan may be coming to an end."
"What? Are you asking me to leave?"
At these words, Tang San's face revealed an expression of pain. It had been so hard to feel some warmth from his aunt, and now he was reluctant to leave Yuexuan.
Tang Yuehua smiled and gently stroked Tang San's messy hair, shaking her head.
"I'm not sending you away. I want you to come with me to Haotian Sect."
"Haotian Sect?"
"Yes. The first reason is for you to return to your roots. The second is that you still need to learn some of Haotian Sect's ancestral techniques. Because I don't possess the Haotian Hammer martial soul, I can't learn those skills. Only your uncle can teach you."
Tang San secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he wasn't being sent away. At the same time, a strong sense of curiosity filled him.
"Aunt, the special abilities you mentioned—are they the Chaotic Wind Hammering technique? Father taught me that when I was younger, but I haven't mastered it yet."
Tang San's words caused Tang Yuehua to shake her head again.
"That's just the basic technique. While it's quite powerful, it's nothing compared to the true Haotian martial arts."
"Ah!"
Tang San knew very well the power of the Chaotic Wind Hammering technique. It was extremely strong, despite its need for time to charge. However, he never imagined that in his aunt's eyes, it wasn't considered a top-tier martial art. A powerful desire surged in him; he wanted to learn those ultimate techniques.
Seeing the eager look in her nephew's eyes, Tang Yuehua couldn't help but smile and continued to explain.
"In addition to the Chaotic Wind Hammering technique, Haotian Sect has four other ultimate techniques: Haotian Bodyguard, Ling Tian Strike, Haotian Nine Absolutes, and finally, the Great Sumeru Hammer."
Tang San didn't interrupt, keeping his gaze fixed on his aunt, eager to hear more. Just hearing the names of these techniques, he could tell they were incredibly powerful. Tang Yuehua continued without hesitation.
"Your father was able to defeat several Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall, including the Pope, with only his recent breakthrough to Title Douluo. He relied on Haotian Nine Absolutes and the Great Sumeru Hammer."
"I see."
When Tang San heard about his father's past, he had wondered how a Title Douluo, who had only just acquired his ninth soul ring, could have escaped from five powerful enemies and even fatally wounded their leader. Now, after hearing his aunt's explanation, everything became clear.
Feeling a mixture of excitement and melancholy, Tang San was excited because he might have access to these powerful soul master techniques. However, he also felt a sense of loss. His father and he seemed to be seen as traitors to Haotian Sect now. If they went to the sect, they might be killed or driven out. How could Haotian Sect possibly teach him these ultimate techniques?
Tang Yuehua noticed the changing expressions on her nephew's face. She gently took his calloused hand in hers.
"Little San, don't worry too much. Your uncle is the Sect Master of Haotian Sect. He's very concerned about your father. He's asked me several times about your father's whereabouts. As long as your uncle is there, those elders won't dare to harm you."
"My purpose in going back this time is to inform your uncle about the situation with the four major sects and also to introduce you to him. I'm sure he will teach you those techniques."
Hearing this, Tang San felt a bit more at ease and also became very curious about the uncle he had never met.
"Then I'll follow Aunt's arrangement."
"Good. Once I've finished taking care of things here at Yuexuan, we'll leave. Your teacher is still at Shrek Academy, right? You should go say hello to him. We don't want him to worry."
"Yes, Aunt."
Tang San agreed and left the tea house, walking slowly toward the Yuexuan entrance. Along the way, some of the noble students pointed at him and whispered among themselves.
Tang San frowned, feeling a bit uncomfortable, but he didn't bother to confront them. Ignoring these annoying people was the best option.
But suddenly, a figure appeared ahead, causing Tang San to pause. He quickly put on a polite smile.
"Miss Xueke, hello!"
Unlike the usual warm greeting, Xueke today had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with him. Instead, she took a few steps back, her face full of disdain and a hint of fear.
"Are you Tang San, the Evil King Tang San?"
"Evil King?"
Hearing this term for the first time, Tang San was instantly stunned.
"This is the first time I've heard that title. Princess, could you clarify?"
It was clear that Xueke had misunderstood him, so Tang San quickly changed how he addressed her to avoid further confusion.
"Hmph, do you think I don't know about the things you did in the Star Luo Empire? You deliberately got close to me. Was it for the same reason?"
Tang San's brows furrowed tightly. Her rude words made him feel extremely displeased.
"I've never been to the Star Luo Empire, and everything that happened there has nothing to do with me. Princess, is there some misunderstanding?"
"Hmph, you admired the princess of the Star Luo Empire, but Da Tianyu never agreed to it. In the end, you triggered the beast wave to take revenge on Da Tianyu, leading to the destruction of Star Luo by the Emperor's forces. Don't try to deny it."
