Chapter 206: The Tang Sect Was Targeted Right After Its Founding

Tang Hao, after hearing Yang Wudi's words, did not hesitate and directly led Tang San and Tai Tan away from Cloud Mist Mountain.

At this point, the Single Attribute Four Families have formally split, and there will be no more Single Attribute family gatherings in the future.

Tang San was completely silent throughout, originally he was eager to go to Cloud Mist Mountain, confident about courting the Single Attribute Three Great Families.

Unfortunately now not only the courting failed, it also seems to have affected Tai Tan's and others' relationships, making it somewhat counterproductive.

Especially seeing Tai Tan's demeanor, he and Niu Gao were supposed to be best brothers, even the clan heads of the Single Attribute Four Families were close, but from now on there will be no connection between them.

Tang Hao seemed to understand Tang San's thoughts, speaking earnestly: "Little San, don't overthink it; this world respects strength above all. The Spirit Hall was originally forced to retreat because its power was too overwhelming, so the Clear Sky Sect had to hide, and that's why the Single Attribute Three Great Families were slaughtered by the Spirit Hall."

"Now the Single Attribute Three Great Families have been biding their time for years; they finally have some strength, so they will no longer rely on anyone."

Tang San nodded: "Father, I made you suffer today; if not for my matter, you wouldn't have apologized to Yang Wudi and the others."

Tang Hao shook his head: "This can't be blamed on you; indeed I was at fault back then. Whether regarding the sect or Yang Wudi and the others, I still owe them."

"Actually when the Clear Sky Sect had trouble back then, it sent people to inform the Single Attribute Four Families, but unfortunately the messengers were intercepted and killed by the Spirit Hall, so the Single Attribute Four Families were caught unprepared and most of them were slaughtered by the Spirit Hall."

Tang San, hearing this, quickly said: "Then their losses back then shouldn't be blamed on Father, nor on the Clear Sky Sect; the real culprits are all the Spirit Hall."

Tang Hao's face showed a wry smile: "That's true, but there is no right or wrong about those events. In the end, the Single Attribute families lost hundreds of lives, and the Clear Sky Sect, while preserving its strength, indeed did not rescue them; these are immutable facts."

"I guess they are now establishing a new sect, likely to oppose the Spirit Hall. Previously they were too weak, so the Spirit Hall didn't target them. Now the Spirit Hall aims to unify the entire Soul Master World and will gradually target the various medium and small forces."

Tang San's face showed a hint of doubt: "Father, what does this have to do with us?"

Tang Hao shook his head: "Now the Spirit Hall is powerful; their strength exceeds everyone's imagination. Only by rallying the entire Soul Master World's forces can we oppose them. Now the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been annihilated, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has also become more reticent. If we truly want to avenge the Spirit Hall, we still need allies."

Tang San thought then spoke: "Father, I understand. I will swiftly strengthen the Tang Sect's power, so that we can truly avenge the Spirit Hall."

Tang Hao nodded: "That's right, but your current strength is still a bit weak. Though you have extraordinary talent and have already reached the Soul Emperor level at a young age, you are still no match for a Soul Douluo or a Title Douluo, so you must intensify your cultivation; otherwise you will be powerless against the Spirit Hall."

"As for the Tang Sect you mentioned, those are just minor details. Once your strength is sufficient, especially after you reach Title Douluo rank, you will be able to add Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer. Your advancement will surpass everyone's imagination; then would you still fear that the Tang Sect won't attract members?"

Tang San seemed to recall something: "Father, the Spirit Hall may not be as formidable as you think. In the great battle of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, they lost two Title Douluo. In this Star Dou Great Forest, Ju Gui Douluo was likewise besieged by Sword Douluo and Yang Wudi's group. Now the Spirit Hall has lost four Title Douluo Elders."

Tang Hao was also shocked: "What did you say? Two Ju Gui Douluo were killed?"

Tang San immediately gave a detailed account of everything in the Star Dou Great Forest, including the fall of Ju Gui Douluo.

Tang Hao was silent for a while before speaking: "Although I look down on Ju Gui Douluo, they are still a level‑95 Title Douluo. It seems that both the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and Yang Wudi's group are perhaps deeper than we imagined."

"However, you must not be careless; the truly fearsome aspect of the Spirit Hall is the person hidden within the Douluo Hall. That person is the one who makes the Soul Master World tremble."

……

After Tang San and Tang Hao and others left, Bai He's expression seemed unpredictable; after all, Tang Hao is his close nephew.

Beside them, Yang Wudi patted Bai He's shoulder: "Lao Bai Niao, I advise you not to overthink; our lives are fine as they are, no need to get involved with the murky waters of the Clear Sky Sect."

"Moreover, things in this world aren't that simple. Yang Xiong, that kid, has already grown up. Though he appears very approachable and unusually easygoing, there is a terrifying killing intent deep within his bones, making him unusually stubborn."

"If you truly engage in any extreme actions, not only would you fail to fulfill brotherly duties, but the Min Clan would also face utter disaster."

Bai He helplessly nodded: "Old Goat, I can still discern right from wrong. If the former Sect Leader only displayed talent before, now he even scares me a bit, especially the terrifying killing intent when he obtained the Seventh Soul Ring."

After Tang San returned to the Force Clan, the Force Clan began reforms and reconstruction; the original plaque was directly changed to Tang Sect.

Tang San looked at the Tang Sect's reconstruction, feeling unusually delighted; although the trip to Cloud Mist Mountain was a bit disappointing, the rebuilding of the otherworldly Tang Sect has finally begun.

After Tang San finished confirming the Tang Sect's plans, he immediately went with Tai Tan to Tai Zi Fu.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was also a bit surprised; he didn't expect that the prodigy Tang San, whom he had occasionally met back then, would visit together with Tai Tan.

Xue Qinghe, upon hearing the news, had an unreadable expression; after all, Tang San is the son of his father's murderer, which always gave him a hint of unease.

In the end, Xue Qinghe did not hesitate and directly received Tang San and Tai Tan.

Xue Qinghe, upon seeing Tang San, spoke first: "Little friend Tang San, long time no see. After parting at Spirit City back then, I never imagined you would develop so rapidly, reaching the Soul Emperor level so quickly."

Tang San's face showed unusual respect: "Your Highness, your demeanor remains the same; this time I have important matters to discuss."

Xue Qinghe's face showed a hint of doubt: "Little friend Tang San, forgive me, but I don't know what important matter you refer to."

Tang San quickly said: "Your Highness, I believe you are aware of the Spirit Hall's deeds; its ambition is considerable, and its next move will target the Two Great Empires."

Xue Qinghe's expression remained calm: "Tang San, you're not just telling me this news, are you? The Heaven Dou Empire has been heavily developing its military strength in recent years; even the Spirit Hall cannot underestimate us."

Tang San, without hesitation: "Your Highness, my visit is certainly not that simple; please see the few items I have brought."

After speaking, Tang San consecutively displayed several Tang Sect hidden weapons, including the Zhuge Crossbow and Hidden Shadows in the Sand, each with impressive power and exquisite craftsmanship.

Even Xue Qinghe was unusually delighted at that moment; he understood the purpose of these hidden weapons even better.

"Tang San, are all these hidden weapons crafted by you? Are you planning to present them to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family? Rest assured, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family will never shortchange you."

Tang San quickly said: "Your Highness, hidden weapon production is complex and requires specialized personnel. Senior Tai Tan and I have already established a new sect called Tang Sect, dedicated to forging various hidden weapons, capable of cooperating with the Imperial Family; these weapons can be supplied to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family first."

"Your Highness, you may not know, but in the past the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect repelled the Spirit Hall's attack, and the hidden weapons they purchased played a huge role."

Xue Qinghe nodded: "That's a good idea; the hidden weapons' power is indeed impressive. Going forward, your Tang Sect can produce hidden weapons, and my Heaven Dou Imperial Family will purchase them. What is the price per set?"

Tang San was instantly delighted: "Your Highness, hidden weapons demand extremely high‑quality materials and precise crafting; currently only I can make them. Based on cost, each set can include the Zhuge Crossbow, Hidden Shadows in the Sand, etc., but each set costs ten thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"Although the hidden weapons are pricey, ordinary people can use them, and they can certainly equip the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's army."

Xue Qinghe nodded: "Fine, your hidden weapons are all very powerful, but regarding such a large transaction, I still need to consult my father, the Emperor."

"Also, we might only purchase the Zhuge Crossbow alone; the other hidden weapons are not necessary for us."

"You should know that I intend to equip the army with hidden weapons on a massive scale, which may require a huge quantity, and for the army, the other small hidden weapons are not as effective."

Tang San also nodded: "Your Highness is right; perhaps my insight is shallow. If it's simply the Zhuge Crossbow alone, the body plus bolts cost two thousand Gold Soul Coins per set."

Xue Qinghe's face brightened: "That's perfect; first make me a thousand sets of Zhuge Crossbows, and then I can present them directly to my father."

……

Soon, Tang San reached a deal with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe for a thousand sets of Zhuge Crossbows, and Xue Qinghe even paid outright without any hesitation.

Tang San, on his first visit to Tai Zi Fu, secured such a large order, feeling immensely pleased; now the Tang Sect has a contract, and its development should improve.

But after Tang San left, Xue Qinghe's previously smiling face suddenly became extremely solemn, and he toyed with the set of hidden weapons Tang San had given him.

"Elder Gui Bao, please step out."

Indeed, as Xue Qinghe's words ended, a black figure appeared in the room, looking even more gaunt than the former Snake Spear Douluo, yet exuding an unfathomable aura.

May I have an audience, Your Highness? I wonder what orders you have.

Xue Qinghe's face turned grim: "Whether it's this Tang San or the so‑called Tang Sect, they are probably established to target the Spirit Hall. I've examined these Hidden Weapons; their power is fairly good, basically reaching Soul King‑level attacks."

"Our Spirit Hall has always been relatively weak militarily; these so‑called Hidden Weapons might compensate for the lack of military strength on both sides."

"Elder Gui Bao, please go investigate that so‑called Tang Sect at once, but do not alert anyone; it would be best to uncover the method of forging the Hidden Weapons."

Gui Bao Douluo's face turned grim: "Your Highness, after receiving this information, should we preemptively eliminate Tang San and the Tang Sect? I always feel that this Tang San is a leftover scion of the Clear Sky Sect, and may become a disaster for our Spirit Hall."

Xue Qinghe was silent for a moment before saying: "For now, don't be so hasty; he's only a mere Soul Emperor, unable to shake our great cause. Moreover, I don't want to alert anyone—if Tang Hao shows up, that would be troublesome."

"However, keep a covert eye on Tang San and the so‑called Tang Sect, especially watch who they are in league with. If Tang Hao appears, report at once."

Gui Bao Douluo did not hesitate and immediately went to gather information on the Tang Sect.
