Chapter 94 Tang Xiao: It doesn’t matter, I will take action
Within the sect.
Tang San followed behind him, carefully observing the situation inside the sect.
The ratio of men to women that we met along the way was almost the same, and there were people of all ages. They were almost all wearing warm leather jackets. The most important thing was that regardless of their strength, they were all soul masters. This sect was worthy of being the number one sect in the world.
These young people all respected Tang Long very much, and it was obvious that he had a high reputation among the younger generation.
However, this person was very outgoing. They had just had a fight, but now he was hugging him as if nothing had happened. His guard against him was almost nonexistent, which made him certain that he was simply a stubborn person.
As for the Seventh Elder, he disappeared from sight very quickly after he came in, and no one knew where he went.
The two entered a tall building at the innermost part, and after twisting and turning inside, they found a staircase to go up to the second floor.
There was an archway a little further inside, and here the two of them stopped.
Even this kind of gate still has the style of the Haotian Sect, with a heavy and solid appearance.
Tang Long took a deep breath, feeling a little nervous, and beat up his younger brother. He was really afraid that Tang Xiao would reward him with a fried meat belt.
After making sufficient mental preparations, he stepped forward and knocked on the door, then raised his voice and said, "Master, Tang Hao's son Tang San wants to see you."
Only after hearing a long sound from inside did he dare to push the door open.
The door, which was nearly a foot thick, slowly opened, and Tang San looked up at the situation inside.
A middle-aged man with white hair and beard sat quietly on the sofa eating his meal.
Tang Long did not enter, but motioned Tang San behind him to go inside.
He nodded and stepped inside.
As the door closed, the only sound left in the house was the sound of eating.
The middle-aged man looked up at the young man's face, frowned, and then pointed to the seat opposite and asked him to sit down.
"Don't be so formal. According to seniority, you should call me uncle. Let's eat together."
"Yes, uncle!"
After a while, he picked up the dishes himself, threw them into the sink and started washing them.
It seems like he is just an ordinary middle-aged man.
"Is Brother Hao dead?" Tang Xiao wiped his hands and asked softly without looking at Tang San.
"Yes."
"Is there any evidence?"
Tang San took out the wooden box from the soul guide.
Taking the wooden box, Tang Xiao slowly opened it, and finally stared at the skin with an expressionless face.
Although he seemed calm, Tang San saw boundless anger and murderous intent in the other's eyes.
He sighed deeply and said, "I know that Brother Hao was captured by the Spirit Hall. I learned about it shortly after the incident three years ago, but I did not tell the elders and suppressed all the news about it."
"They are all too traditional and care too much about the reputation of the Haotian Sect. If they were to speak out, I'm afraid it would infuriate them and lead them to think about reopening the mountain gate."
"I also know the reason why you came here. You just want us to help you get revenge, but now is not a good time."
After saying that, he walked to the bedside and looked at the countless male and female disciples of the Haotian Sect doing morning exercises in the square under the castle.
"Xiao San, you have great talent. If I remember correctly, you are thirteen this year. At such a young age, you have reached the thirty-fourth level of Soul Master. You have a bright future, but you appeared at the wrong time!"
"Even though there are six Titled Douluo in the sect now, the strength of the Clear Sky Sect is not strong enough for the Spirit Hall. The nine elders alone can drag down the Clear Sky Sect, not to mention the priests."
"The sect now needs checks and balances. I advocate opening the mountain gate, while the elders advocate continuing to close the mountain. This is the only way to ensure stability within the sect, and at the same time let the disciples know that there are powerful enemies outside, so that they can concentrate on their cultivation."
"Your appearance disrupted all that."
Tang San's breathing stagnated. What did this mean? My father was dead, so was it wrong for me to ask my uncle for help?
"My father's last words asked me to take back the inherited soul bone of the Haotian Sect, return to the sect to pay my respects to my grandfather and apologize, and then form an alliance to destroy the Spirit Hall."
As he said this, he looked sad, "I'm too weak and can't do anything." As soon as these words came out, Tang Xiao was immediately ignited.
"You mean to say that Brother Hao's bones were stripped off?" He said in a harsh voice, his aura involuntarily radiating outward, strong and long-lasting.
Tang San understood that the other party was moved, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Not only that, when the teacher spent a lot of money to find my father half a year ago, he already had no limbs."
"Spirit Hall!" Tang Xiao couldn't help himself and slapped the table into pieces.
The vast soul power surged as his emotions got out of control, and the boundless pressure made Tang San fall to his knees on the ground, unable to breathe.
"Uncle."
Hearing the sound, he withdrew his soul power.
"I lost my temper." His expression quickly calmed down, as if nothing had happened.
"Get up, sit down and talk to me about what's going on between you two."
No matter what happened, even his younger brother Hao, whom he treated like his own son, was not as important as the sect in his eyes. This was influenced by the worldview he had accepted for decades.
If not for this, he would not have left Tang Hao and A Yin and returned to the sect because of his father's serious illness. Between love and sect, he chose the latter without any hesitation.
The two sat down on the sofa.
"Have you seen your aunt in Tiandou City? There has been no news about her since the Tiandou Empire had a new emperor." He changed the subject.
Tang San looked confused, because this was another piece of information that had not been recorded by the teacher.
"Do I have an aunt?"
Tang Xiao took a deep breath and explained, "Her name is Tang Yuehua. She opened a noble etiquette school in Tiandou City called Yuexuan. It is currently the largest source of funds and intelligence for our Haotian Sect."
"Brother Hao, if the itinerary you arranged includes the City of Slaughter, then you must go find Yuehua after you come out of it."
"I don't know. I've only been in Tiandou City for a few days when I was forced to come to you."
Tang San knew about the City of Slaughter, but the minimum requirement his father mentioned was to complete the learning of all the unique skills passed down by the Haotian Sect and to have a soul power above that of a Soul King before one could go there, otherwise it would be easy to die there.
Tang San slowly recounted what happened during the period after he was separated from Tang Hao.
Tang Xiao's expression kept changing, but deep down he didn't care about any of this. What had already happened could not be changed. He could just be angry at his nephew on the surface. Brother Hao was already dead, so it would be better for him to bide his time and wait for the opportunity.
In the end, he just looked at his nephew's lower body with a sad face. When he heard the kid swear an oath across the house for revenge, his brain really froze.
Is there such a way to make up your mind? You are really cruel to yourself! If you do this, Haodi and Ayin will have no descendants!
I have no wife and no offspring, and you have no offspring either. Yuehua has already said that she has no intention of getting married, so I'm afraid our line will end.
But then I thought, could it be that this is the reason why you are cultivating so fast? It seems to make sense. When I let go of these things, I seem to make rapid progress. I will go back and find some disciples who don’t care about their offspring and try again.
"I don't really understand curses, so just follow your teacher's inference. They are just some soul beasts anyway."
"Don't worry about the Blue Silver King. I will take action." It is Tang Hao who feels guilty towards Ah Yin, not me. She is not one of her own race, so it doesn't matter.
A moment later, Tang Xiao brought Tang San to the clan meeting room.
Two of the eight seats were vacant, one for the deceased Great Elder and the other for the Sixth Elder who died in the Spirit Hall raid on the Central Hall.
After introducing the elders' situations to Tang San one by one, everyone also got to know Tang San.
Because Tang Hao was dead, many people's hatred towards him was much less, but the Seventh Elder was the only one who vetoed and still did not agree with Tang San's return to his ancestral home.
After all, in his eyes, a child born of evil is a bastard and is not worthy of returning to the Haotian Sect. It is a great honor for him to be able to come back to the clan to take a look.
Finally decide whether to come back.
The elders were so angry that they chose to hold back.
These old guys are very clear about how big the gap in strength is between them and the Spirit Hall. It will be enough for them to hold a rally to condemn them. As for taking real action, they should wait for the old sect leader Tang Chen to come back and take charge of the situation.
This result caught Tang Xiao, who was confident of what he had planned, off guard. I thought you guys had some courage and took the initiative to propose holding a meeting, but after all this time, this is what happened?
But in the end he still promised Tang San that he would help you break the curse as soon as the mountain gate was reopened.
As for the exact time, it depends on when Tang Chen comes back.
