Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 173 Niu Tian and Titan start slacking off

Just as Xu Zhou embarked on his journey home, the Haotian Sect, also located in the Tianhun Empire, was not at peace.

In an unnamed mountain range very close to Tiandou City, a magnificent ancient castle stands atop its core.

The mountain is almost vertical on three sides, with only one side having a tilted angle, as if it were carved out by man.

Thick clouds and mist surrounded the castle, moving along trajectories that defied the laws of nature.

If you look closely, you can see strange birds and spirit beasts moving among the clouds and mist.

These bird-like spirit beasts are the Windhawks, known as "Killers in the Clouds," with some even reaching the level of ten thousand years old.

These soul beasts were clearly specially trained; they were faster and more irritable.

On the majestic ancient castle, the words "Haotian Castle" are carved on a huge rock, three powerful characters.

This is also Tang San's bridgehead on the Douluo Continent.

Compared to the Haotian Sect, the Tang Sect is nothing but a clown. The Haotian Sect has everything the Tang Sect has, and even more so.

Even Niu Tian and Titan from the Haotian Sect can contact Tang San directly through special means.

Haotian Fortress has three floors. The first floor is a place for Haotian Sect disciples to rest and cultivate, and the second floor is a place to receive visitors.

The third floor is the true core of the Haotian Sect, where Niu Tian, ​​Titan, and even Wang Dong reside.

The third floor of Haotian Fortress was no longer as peaceful as before. A dozen middle-aged and elderly people were discussing the matter, and Niu Tian looked at the argument below with annoyance.

These dozen or so middle-aged and elderly people were all elders and deacons of the Haotian Sect, with the lowest level being Title Douluo, and eight elders even being Super Douluo.

The disciples of the Haotian Sect have not traveled on the continent for nearly a thousand years, and most forces on the continent still believe that the Haotian Sect is gradually declining.

They never imagined that the Clear Sky Sect would be able to assemble one Limit Douluo and nearly ten Super Douluos.

The power of the Haotian Sect far surpasses that of the Body Sect, not to mention that they can truly reach the ears of the heavens.

Tang San could watch the Tang Sect decline, but he would not stand by and watch the Clear Sky Sect suffer.

Moreover, Tang Hao is currently hiding somewhere in Douluo Continent.

"Elder! This is a provocation against the Haotian Sect!"

"Tang Feng went there representing the Haotian Sect. Now that he's in trouble, how can we just sit idly by?!"

A deacon of the title Douluo level roared angrily in the hall.

"Easier said than done! How do you manage it?"

"Didn't you see the video on the magic network?"

"Tang Feng provoked Xilu City in front of the entire continent and was brutally beaten by Lingbing Douluo."

"Heh, it can't even be called a beating. Lingbing Douluo didn't move an inch from beginning to end."

"Tang Feng almost caused himself to explode while playing with the exploding rings!"

"How can the Haotian Sect expect an explanation for such a disgraceful act?"

"We should be grateful that Xilu City isn't demanding an explanation from us!"

"Also, I remember you taught Tang Feng how to use the 'ring explosion' technique, right? Humph! What kind of crap did you teach him! You can't even blow up his signature move?"

Eighth Elder Tang was blowing his beard and staring at the deacon opposite him.

The deacon's face flushed red, his lips moved, but he said nothing in the end, because Tang Feng was the one who promoted him, and he was also the one who taught him how to use the explosive ring technique.

The Fifth Elder slightly opened his eyes and said:
"Tang Feng certainly made a mistake."

"Is there not even a one in ten thousand chance that the city of Kexilu has made a mistake?"

"I think we need to get an explanation."

"Otherwise, what will the disciples think?"

The Eighth Elder looked at the Fifth Elder and said:

"Fifth Brother, then how do you suggest we ask for it?"

"We can't use force; everyone knows the information dissemination capabilities of the Magic Network."

"If you dare to use force, the reputation of the Haotian Sect will be completely ruined!"

"Moreover, that's the Tiandou Plain, and Shrek Academy is also there."

"Shrek Academy has already issued a statement that the item is in Di Tian's hands. Causing trouble on the Tian Dou Plain is disrespecting Shrek Academy."

"Can we still fight Shrek?"

"Even if it were possible, it wouldn't be now!"

The Fifth Elder lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, then looked at the First Elder and said:

"Elder Tang, what do you think the Haotian Sect should do?"

Before the Grand Elder could speak, the middle-aged man in white, seated at the head of the hall, slammed his thick arm against the armrest of a table and chair.

The muffled sound echoed in the lobby, instantly silencing all the noise.

"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?"

"Our Haotian Sect made a mistake in this matter."

"The mighty Haotian Sect, can it not even admit its mistakes?"

"Tang Yuan! You promoted Tang Feng yourself. If something goes wrong, you will take responsibility."

"In a few days, go to Xilu City to apologize to Lingbing Douluo, and that will be the end of it."

"Anyway, we already know where the item is; it's in Di Tian's hands. I will explain it to him personally."

Tang Yuan's body trembled suddenly, and he still looked somewhat unwilling as he said:

"metropolitan."

"But, what about Tang Feng?"

"That's how we'll be..."

"Humph!"

A muffled groan came from beside Niu Tian to Tang Yuan's ears. The powerful intimidation made Tang Yuan's face turn pale and his pupils shrink.

A tall, short-haired figure stood next to Niu Tian, ​​staring at him and saying:

"Just do what your brother tells you to do!"

"Why so many questions?"

"Tang Feng?"

"Why bother with a piece of trash who's turned himself into a self-destructing mess?"

"Let him fend for himself. I'm getting annoyed watching the videos on the internet."

"A simple ring explosion could shatter one's own meridians, even with the help of the enemy."

"Get out of here now!"

"You won't come back until this matter is settled!"

The terrifying power of the Titan pressed down on Tang Yuan's body, forcing him to kneel on the ground and kowtow repeatedly, saying:
"Yes!"

"I understand, Sect Master, and Second Sect Master!"

Upon hearing this, Niu Tian waved to the crowd in front of him and said:

"That's how this matter was handled."

"Leave, all of you."

The elders and deacons below bowed and prepared to leave, but the Grand Elder suddenly asked Niu Tian:

"Sect Master, I have another question to ask."

"Two statues suddenly appeared at the Haotian Sect yesterday. Do they really not need to be dealt with?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Tian immediately felt a headache coming on and said, "Old Tang, are you getting senile?"

"Is that something we can handle?"

"Is he tired of living?"

"Without orders, no disciple of the Haotian Sect is allowed to approach those two statues."

"No sect disciples are allowed to discuss these two statues."

"Mortals should not meddle in the affairs of the gods!"

Old Tang stroked his white beard, bowed to Niu Tian, ​​and said:
"Ah."

"I will instruct my disciples."

"Then, I will take my leave of the two sect leaders here."

After saying that, the Grand Elder led everyone from the Haotian Sect away from the third floor.

Only Niu Tian and Titan remained.

Titan said to Niu Tian:
"Brother, are we really just going to let this go like this?"

Niu Tian nodded slightly and said:
“Xiaodong sent a message yesterday, her tone was very harsh, saying that she doesn’t dare to reveal her Clear Sky Hammer now, saying it’s shameful.”

"Besides, Lingbing Douluo knows Xiaodong, and we were in the wrong in this matter, so let's just let it go."

Upon hearing "Little Winter," Titan's stern face softened instantly.

"That's it, then forget it."

"By the way, brother, about the information from a while ago..."

Niu Tian slammed his hand on the handle beside him and glared at Titan, saying:

"Keep your voice down!"

"Communicate using mental power."

Titan nodded quickly and spoke to Niu Tian using his mental power:
"Big brother, is what the Butterfly Goddess said true?"

"Was Xiaodong's soul truly torn apart?"

Niu Tian said helplessly:

"It's probably true."

Titan's face showed a hint of anger, and his large hands clenched into fists.

"Could this be what is known as a hidden ailment?"

"Does the girl know about this?"

Niu Tian gently comforted Titan, saying:
"I definitely don't know."

"Relax, the Butterfly Goddess has already helped, we don't need to worry about it."

Titan was still very upset and said:

"I can't help but care!"

"Xiaodong is my sister's child. She calls us two 'Big Uncle' and 'Second Uncle'!"

"I couldn't bear to see her suffer."

Niu Tian's golden eyes looked at the hall, then he spoke to Titan through his mental power:
"Who isn't?"

"But I must tell you first! The two of us absolutely cannot leave the Haotian Sect during this period."

"You know, his divine consciousness resides within both of us!"

"If we get close to Xiaodong and he discovers Butterfly Goddess's actions, something bad might happen."

"Therefore, the best way to protect Xiaodong is for the two of us to stay away from her."

"The Butterfly Goddess is repairing Xiaodong's soul; we shouldn't cause trouble."

"Pretend you don't know anything about this."

Then, Niu Tian smiled and said:

"Hehe, just in time, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life have placed their statues at the Haotian Sect."

“If he asks us about it in the future, just say that we were observing those two statues.”

"I can't get distracted."

Titan smiled and said:
"Ah."

"Just do it."

"But what did he say about those two statues yesterday?"

Niu Tian said with a chuckle:

“When I told him yesterday.”

"He had no choice."

“There they were, angrily denouncing the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life as shameless.”

"To plant spies in his core territory."

"Tell me not to touch those two statues for now, and let him think of a solution."

Titan scratched his head and said:
"Destruction and life are clearly enemies."

"I never expected that in the end I would have to rely on the two of them."

Niu Tian stood up, opened the magic network, glanced at Wang Dong'er's picture, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

"no way."

"For Xiaodong's sake, we must make compromises."

“He is our benefactor, and Xiaodong is also our family.”

"So, this time, let's choose neutrality."

"I will not interfere with the Butterfly God's plans for destruction and life."

"Let's see how he handles it."

Titan stood next to Niu Tian, ​​a smile still on his face, and said:
"Big brother, there seems to be a word on the magic network that describes our current state. Let me think about it."

"Oh, right, it's 'slacking off'!"

"Hehe, we have to slack off for Xiaodong's sake."

"But you know what, big brother."

"The God of Destruction's divine sense is truly formidable. His divine sense in the Haotian Sect has been weakened to the point that he can no longer peer into our spiritual sea."

Niu Tian didn't speak, but waved to Titan and said:
"Stop being stunned."

"Go pack your things and send them to Xiaodong."

"Tell her not to return to Haotian Sect for a while, and to stay outside."

Titan twisted his neck and said:

"Got it, big brother."

"I've almost emptied the Haotian Sect's treasury."

"Send them all to her."

Niu Tian's lips twitched as he said:

"It's not that bad. Just give her some cultivation resources and enough money to live on."

"That girl is a bit lazy, let her cultivate properly on her own."
