Chapter 226: Tang Hao and Tang Xiao

Since meeting Tang Xiao, Yang Xiong has accelerated his pace, preparing to move the entire Body Sect to Thunderclap Gorge.

The Five Great Elders moved extremely fast, and even the interior of the Body Academy was very swift; they only needed to pack normal life and all required supplies.

In this world with Soul Guidance Devices, especially given that Yang Xiong has recently acquired a large amount of wealth, moving house is not that difficult; even Oscar and Qin Shuang, and also Ning Rongrong and Yang Wei, have joined the helping team.

However, that day Oscar suddenly approached Yang Xiong, looking a bit conflicted.

Yang Xiong hooked his arm around Oscar's neck, his face full of smile: "Little Ao, what's there between us brothers that we can't talk about? Seeing you like that, I even thought you'd fallen for another little girl again."

Oscar quickly said, "Brother Xiong, I'm wholeheartedly devoted to Qin Shuang; the main thing is that recently Dai Mubai approached me, saying they plan to go to Sea God Island for training and want to invite me along."

Yang Xiong's face showed a hint of doubt: "Sea God Island? That place isn't simple; why would Dai Mubai come looking for you?"

Oscar nodded: "Brother Xiong, you should know, among all those people at Shrek Academy back then, I had the best relationship with Dai Mubai; we entered at the same time, so I spent three more years with him than with you all."

Yang Xiong laughed: "It's normal for brothers to have interactions; don't overthink it. But did Dai Mubai say anything specific?"

Oscar quickly said: "This trip to Sea God Island is organized by Tang San; they say the place is full of danger but also great opportunities. Besides Tang San and Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Yu Tianheng, and Dugu Yan will also go. They probably thought you've been too busy lately and haven't told you yet."

Yang Xiong shook his head: "Sea God Island indeed offers huge opportunities, but it's equally dangerous; the requirements on a soul master's talent and effort are extremely strict, and a slight lapse can be fatal."

"Especially for land soul masters, Sea God Island is even harsher; for a land soul master to join, the assessment difficulty is ten times that of a Sea Soul Master. Basically it's a nine‑to‑one chance of survival; hope they have good luck."

Oscar's face showed a hint of doubt: "Brother Xiong, how do you know so much about Sea God Island?"

Yang Xiong smiled: "Reading more does have its benefits; there are few things in this world I don't know. Sea God Island is indeed a nice place, but I'm still quite busy now. After the Body Sect is fully set up, I'll truly have time to go to Sea God Island. You should know that a newly founded sect faces many problems at the start."

Oscar laughed: "Brother Xiong, I understand. Then I'll go to Sea God Island with you a bit later."

Yang Xiong helplessly shook his head: "Sea God Island isn't that simple; I hope they don't get injured on Sea God Island."

Oscar's face showed a hint of doubt: "Is Sea God Island really that dangerous?"

Yang Xiong said gravely: "Sea God Island is also called Devil Island; ordinary soul masters can join but can never leave, even the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall dare not act recklessly there. The Sea God Island Great Offering is a th Level Ultimate Douluo, an invincible presence over the sea."

"Nevertheless, Sea God Island truly is a treasure trove for soul masters' cultivation; it has many very unusual training methods that can greatly improve a soul master's physical qualities and even dramatically raise the body's soul power level, but all of this is fraught with danger."

Oscar, hearing Yang Xiong's seriousness, fell silent.

As expected, just a day later, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing personally came to Cloud Mist Mountain, mainly to discuss the Sea God Island training and to invite Yang Xiong and others to go together.

However, Yang Xiong truly does have matters now and can't spare himself, so he gave Dai Mubai some instructions on precautions for Sea God Island.

Of course, Yang Xiong felt helpless watching Dai Mubai and the others; after lacking Immortal Herb, their soul power levels are noticeably lower, and it's uncertain whether they can achieve the high assessment levels like in the original work.

More importantly, after losing Oscar and Ning Rongrong, two top‑tier supports, can they still pass the assessment?

Especially since Tang San lacks the Hanhai Qiankun Shield, and also lacks the Second Awakening of Ice Fire Tempering Body and the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, he probably has no hope of obtaining the Sea God Nine Trials.

Time flew, and in less than half a month, the Body Sect's arrangements in Cloud Mist Mountain were nearly finished, and thousands of people, in grand numbers, were preparing to go to Thunderclap Gorge.

Among these people, besides the three major single‑attribute families and the Overlord Dragon Snake Clan, the four families together have over a thousand soul masters.

Additionally, each family has some ordinary personnel besides the soul masters; although they're not soul masters, they're indispensable to each family.

All teachers and students of the Body Academy, besides the original members of the Body Sect's major families, also include some ordinary students, including dozens of Body martial soul students, who also moved.

Besides these people, Niu Gao also, through the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and other means, gathered several thousand craftsmen, mainly to address the construction of the Body Sect's sect gate later.

Now the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has become a ruin; many places need to be rebuilt and constructed, costing even more than building a sect.

……

Tang Hao finally returned from Killing City, and his injuries looked much worse than before he went to Killing City.

Tang Xiao seemed unusually worried: "Brother Hao, how are your injuries? You didn't fight the Killing King again, did you?"

Tang Hao shook his head: "Big brother, I'm fine. After this encounter with the Killing King, especially judging by the Killing King's appearance and other traits, I suspect the Killing King is our grandfather Tang Chen, but I don't know why he's become like this now; I can't even recognize him, and when I said his name he attacked me violently."

Tang Xiao also said with joy: "Once we confirm the Killing King is our grandfather, the rest becomes much easier. In any case, we must rescue grandfather."

Tang Hao quickly said: "Big brother, it's probably not that simple. I think grandfather's mind is completely lost, as if he's lost all memory and become a monster that only kills and craves blood. I don't know any way to awaken him."

"And also, this time I fought grandfather; although he didn't use a martial soul or soul ring, I sensed faint traces of Clear Sky Sect techniques."

"But grandfather wielded a blood‑red long sword; that sword's power was immense and filled with killing intent. I suspect that sword is one of the main culprits that caused grandfather's downfall, yet even with my strength I can't gain any advantage; even if you and I strike together, we probably can't affect grandfather at all."

Tang Xiao helplessly said: "Grandfather is a th Level Ultimate Douluo; his soul power and physical qualities far surpass ours. It seems rescuing him will require long‑term planning."

Tang Hao's face showed a hint of frustration: "Big brother, it's my inadequacy, but even if I sacrifice my life, I'll definitely rescue grandfather. By the way, big brother, what are your plans next?"

Tang Xiao, with a serious expression, said: "We've come this far; the Spirit Hall's oppression is excessive, and our Clear Sky Sect must also prepare to emerge."

"Moreover, this time you and Xiao San helped the Heaven Dou Imperial Family; I have already spoken with Emperor Xue Ye, and Emperor Xue Ye is willing to fully support our Clear Sky Sect's emergence."

"Furthermore, I have also communicated with Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect; the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will also help the Clear Sky Sect re‑emerge, and the alliance will jointly oppose the Spirit Hall."

Tang Hao felt a bit excited now: "If the Heaven Dou Imperial Family gives strong support, the Clear Sky Sect's emergence should have no problem. If the Clear Sky Sect emerges early, with the three major sects we should be able to oppose the Spirit Hall, but unfortunately the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has already been annihilated."

Tang Hao seemed to think of something: "Big brother, if we want to rescue grandfather, I think there's one person who might play a crucial role."

Tang Xiao asked in doubt: "Brother Hao, is there anyone else in this world who can help you confront grandfather? Logically, only Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi could truly stand against grandfather."

Tang Hao quickly said: "It's Yang Xiong. During the last Heaven Dou Palace Coup, I discovered his Killing God Domain is completely different from mine; it seems his Killing God Domain has evolved and can even suppress my Killing God Domain."

"This time, confronting the Killing King, my domain was limited by him; it seems the Killing King's domain and Yang Xiong's are both Killing Domains, and perhaps only between them can there be a true balance."

Tang Xiao was silent for a while before speaking: "I didn't expect it to be Yang Xiong again; he was the one who told me that secret back then. But it's still too early; Yang Xiong is only a Soul Saint now, and he can't possibly contend with grandfather."

……

After several days of traveling, Yang Xiong and the others finally arrived at the former base of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

What met Yang Xiong's eyes was a wasteland; all the houses seemed destroyed, yet faintly the original grand architecture could still be seen.

The entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had become a massive fortification of attack and defense.

The outer area had numerous structures that could basically serve as outposts.

Beyond that lay a river over nearly a kilometer long, and only by boat could one reach the true core of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

And once inside the sect, it was the true Thunderclap Gorge; even the core of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only resides on the outskirts of Thunderclap Gorge.

The Thunderclap Gorge is filled with lightning, the ground blackened as if charred, and it possesses extremely powerful destructive force.

Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan occupies the entire Thunderclap Gorge, its actual activity range is only on a few mountains on the gorge's outskirts; according to investigations, the gorge likely extends dozens of kilometers deep, and the innermost core may not even have been explored by the clan.

After carefully observing the overall layout of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yang Xiong could only sigh, feeling that the clan's situation was regrettable.

According to the situation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it can be said that they are backed by mountains and water; in front is a great river that can block enemies, and at the back is the natural barrier Thunderclap Gorge.

If, during the Soul Hunting Operation, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been more alert, had scouted the marching route of the Spirit Hall in advance, and had resisted using their geographical advantage, they probably wouldn't have lost so badly.
