Chapter 225: Tang San Decides to Go to Sea God Island
Shrek Academy.
Since Tang San went through the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, he seems to have changed a lot, not only because he was constantly suppressed and actually wounded during his battle with Qian Renxue.
What surprised him even more was the conversation between Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue.
During the recent period, especially in the Star Dou Great Forest, he actually heard about the strange mushroom "Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju" that Yang Xiong and Ju Douluo mentioned; Tang San was taken aback, never expecting the Immortal Herb described in the Profound Heaven Record to truly exist in the Douluo world.
If it were only Ju Douluo speaking, he might not have thought much of it.
But in this conversation, Yang Xiong actually gave Qian Renxue a Water Fairy Jade Muscle Bone; others don't know its function, but Tang San knows it very well.
At this moment, Tang San is not only extremely surprised but also furious; he didn't expect Yang Xiong to have multiple Immortal Herbs, and the previous conversation essentially proved that Yang Xiong had already ingested the strange mushroom "Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju".
No wonder Yang Xiong's strength is so formidable; he cultivated a Vajra Indestructible Body by consuming the strange mushroom "Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju".
Moreover, because of his earlier deal with Yang Xiong, swapping his Purple Extreme Demon Eye for Yang Xiong, it now appears that Yang Xiong profited greatly from the trade, even reaching a realm Tang San himself has never attained.
Tang San knows well the types and functions of Immortal Herbs described in the Profound Heaven Record; if various Immortal Herbs truly appear on Douluo Continent, doesn't that mean he also has a chance to seek them?
Unfortunately, no matter how many books Tang San scoured, even consulting Yu Xiaogang, he found no single word about Immortal Herbs; it seemed all just legend, yet Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue are living examples.
However, after hearing of Sea God Island, Tang San's eyes seemed to sparkle; he felt Sea God Island was his greatest opportunity and the best chance to boost his soul power.
During this Heaven Dou Palace Coup, Tang San and Tang Hao also helped the Heaven Dou Imperial Family considerably, and even Yu Xiaogang and others contributed.
Emperor Xue Ye specially praised Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and others; not only granting them titles but also offering rewards, promising to support the reconstruction of Shrek Academy.
Unfortunately, even so, Tang San has already missed the crucial Hanhai Universe Dome.
Just as Tang Hao was communicating with Tang San, a black silhouette appeared outside the room.
When Tang Hao saw the newcomer, even his usually iron-strong eyes welled with tears, looking extremely moved.
"Big brother!"
Tang Xiao clung tightly to Tang Hao, saying, "Brother Hao, you have suffered all these years."
Tang Hao sounded a bit sobbing, "Brother, I'm fine; it's my fault, I owe you, I owe the sect."
Tang Xiao quickly comforted, "It's all in the past. The sect is fine now, and the events back then weren't all your fault."
Tang Hao hurriedly pulled Tang San over, "Little San, this is your uncle Tang Xiao, also my most respected elder brother."
Tang San promptly bowed, "I have seen you, Uncle."
Tang Xiao nodded, a hint of satisfaction on his face, "Not bad, truly the son of Brother Hao and A Yin. At such a young age you already have this strength; in the future the Clear Sky Sect will rely on you to flourish."
…
The two brothers, reunited after a long separation, were extremely excited, as if they had endless words to say.
At that moment, Tang Hao asked with some doubt, "Brother, why did you suddenly leave the Clear Sky Sect? Did something happen in the sect?"
Tang Xiao shook his head, "The sect is fine. This time there is a major matter I need to verify personally, so I left the Clear Sky Sect on purpose."
Tang Hao quickly asked, "What major matter?"
Tang Xiao's expression turned serious: "Yang Xiong of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect passed a message to me through Yuehua, saying he knows the whereabouts of my grandfather Tang Chen. I thought it was of great importance, so I went to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect myself."
Tang Hao was instantly shocked: "Grandfather? How could that be? He disappeared fifty years ago; there hasn't been any news of him in the Soul Master World. How could Yang Xiong possibly know his whereabouts?"
Tang San was equally astonished; he had also heard rumors about his great‑grandfather Tang Chen, the legendary Level 99 Ultimate Douluo, regarded as a deity in the Soul Master World. How could Yang Xiong have such information?
Tang Xiao shook his head, "I don't know whether the information is true, which is why I went to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. This news is hard to verify; I need Brother Hao to go there himself."
Tang Hao quickly said, "Where exactly is Grandfather? I will personally investigate his situation."
Tang Xiao appeared unusually serious: "According to Yang Xiong, his grandfather is the Killing Sha Lu Zhi Wang City. Killing City is a special place; even I cannot enter easily, only you can freely go in and out of Killing City."
"So I came to you specifically to ask you to go to Killing City to verify. If it turns out to be my great‑grandfather, perhaps this is an opportunity for our Clear Sky Sect."
Tang Hao remained silent for a long time after hearing this, then shook his head, "Brother, I find it odd—why would Yang Xiong tell you this?"
"Moreover, when I first faced the Killing King in Killing City, his strength was immense; even without using soul techniques, he could suppress me. I think his power and physical quality are extraordinarily exaggerated, something I've only seen in my life."
Tang Xiao quickly asked, "Then can you confirm whether he is my great‑grandfather?"
Tang Hao shook his head, "Based on past experience I cannot confirm; I need to go back to Killing City again."
Tang Xiao nodded, "Brother Hao, this time I really have to trouble you. If the Killing King is indeed my great‑grandfather, we must find a way to rescue him. With his strength, we could certainly intimidate the Spirit Hall and avenge our Clear Sky Sect."
Tang Hao quickly said, "Brother, I'm preparing to go to Killing City now; I must confirm whether the Killing King is our great‑grandfather, no matter what."
Tang Xiao continued, "Brother Hao, wait a moment. I have another question for you; you must think it through carefully."
Tang Hao was a bit puzzled, "Brother, what is it that we brothers cannot speak openly about?"
Tang Xiao's face showed a trace of deep pain, yet he remained extremely serious.
"Brother Hao, back then when you fought Qian Xunji, how badly was he injured? Was it truly a mortal wound?"
A hint of fear appeared in Tang Hao's eyes; that battle with Qian Xunji was the start of all his nightmares and the cause of the Clear Sky Sect's war, a taboo for both Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect.
"Brother, why are you asking this suddenly?"
Tang Xiao shook his head, "I recently received news that back then Qian Xunji didn't die from your strike but was killed inside the Spirit Hall by someone."
"If this information is accurate, then all the actions against the Clear Sky Sect, even against you, were part of a massive conspiracy."
"The Spirit Hall sacrificed a Pope, exchanged it for our Clear Sky Sect's retreat, even for their twenty years of rapid development; such a scheme is terrifying."
Tang Hao was also shocked, and then his mind plunged into past memories, carefully recalling that battle.
Finally, Tang Hao shook his head, "Brother, I cannot verify those events either, but back then, to fight Qian Xunji and the two Title Douluo he brought, I wielded the Clear Sky Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer, pushing my strength to the limit."
"However, at the crucial moment I actually held back; I never truly struck to kill Qian Xunji, and before he left he even threatened to settle scores with me again."
Tang Xiao's expression turned sour, "It seems the news is correct. Given the Spirit Hall's resources, if you didn't deliver a fatal blow, even if Qian Xunji was seriously injured, he likely wouldn't have died."
"Moreover, the Spirit Hall has many healing experts and various special martial souls; they would never let their Pope fall so easily. It seems Qian Xunji's death is suspicious, and the mastermind is likely the current Pope Bibidong."
At this moment, whether Tang Hao or Tang San, both were extremely excited, never expecting that the great battle back then was a conspiracy, which implies that both A Yin's death and the Clear Sky Sect's forced retreat were deliberately orchestrated by the Spirit Hall.
Tang Hao gritted his teeth, "What a Spirit Hall, what a Bibidong— they are too ruthless and extreme."
Tang Xiao helplessly said, "Brother Hao, it's already too late; Qian Xunji has been dead for countless years, so evidence is likely gone, but the Spirit Hall owes our Clear Sky Sect, and they will eventually have to repay it."
Tang Hao nodded, "Brother, how is the Clear Sky Sect doing now?"
Tang Xiao laughed, "The Clear Sky Sect is doing well now, even better than back then; the Five Great Elders have already cultivated to Title Douluo level. If we add you and me, we will definitely no longer be bullied by the Spirit Hall as we were back then."
Tang Hao was instantly overjoyed, "That's good; if there is nothing when we go out, I will be at ease."
By the way, elder brother, I want Xiao San to return to the sect for training; his Clear Sky Hammer still has shortcomings, and Xiao San has dual martial souls, so in the future he will definitely be able to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer to a higher realm.
Tang Xiao nodded, "Xiao San is a disciple of our Clear Sky Sect; returning to the Clear Sky Sect is only natural. If you can confirm that the Killing King is our great‑grandfather, then not only Xiao San, but also you, Hao Di, can return to the Clear Sky Sect with us."
Tang Hao was instantly overjoyed, "Elder brother, is this okay? I'm afraid the Five Great Elders might still have objections."
Tang Xiao sounded extremely stern, "What happened back then wasn't your fault; it was merely the Spirit Hall's plot against our Clear Sky Sect. Moreover, we have many tasks ahead—not only the Clear Sky Sect's emergence, but also various affairs of the world. The Spirit Hall is clearly ill‑intentioned; they will probably take more actions soon."
Tang San, who had been unusually agitated, suddenly spoke, "Father, elder brother, I intend to go to Sea God Island for training."
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were instantly shocked, "Xiao San, do you know what Sea God Island is? It's full of danger; even ordinary people who join Sea God Island can never leave for the rest of their lives. You must think this through."
Tang San hurriedly asked, "Father, elder brother, do you both know Sea God Island?"
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao exchanged glances, and finally Tang Hao sighed, "Xiao San, actually your elder brother and I went to Sea God Island back then. The Soul Grandmasters there are formidable, and their martial souls and cultivation methods differ from ours."
Of course, the most important thing is that the Great Supplicant Bo Saixi of Sea God Island is a th Level Ultimate Douluo; his strength is formidable, especially on the ocean, where even our grandfather Tang Chen and the Spirit Hall Great Offering Qian Daoliu were defeated by Bo Saixi.
Back then we were following grandfather's orders, going to Sea God Island to deliver a message to Bo Saixi, and after that delivery, grandfather completely disappeared from the Soul Master World. This marked the true beginning of the Clear Sky Sect's downfall.
Tang San, hearing this, fixed his gaze resolutely, "Father, elder brother, I think the cultivation of Blue Silver Grass is no longer as fast as before, and the process is now limited. I believe Sea God Island might be my greatest opportunity; then I will surely grow rapidly."
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, after hearing Tang San's words, showed a hint of helplessness on their faces, and finally the two of them gave Tang San a detailed introduction to Sea God Island, including some taboos and precautions.
