Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends.

Right now, he and Cinderella are just two junior Soul Masters who have only obtained their first Soul Ring.

Their father, Tang Hao, suddenly left without a trace, and they lost their most direct and powerful support.

In Nottingham City, and even in the future world of Soul Masters, they need a shield, a mentor who can at least offer some protection and guidance in the open.

Yu Xiaogang, whose background seems mysterious and whose reputation in the Soul Master theory world is considerable, is clearly the most suitable and only choice under the current circumstances.

He needs to utilize Yu Xiaogang's resources and reputation, at least until he and his sister have sufficient means to protect themselves.

Therefore, Tang San suppressed his disgust, maintained an almost indifferent calm on his face, placed the notes on Yu Xiaogang's table, and spoke in a tone that revealed no emotion:

“Master, I have finished reading the book. Thank you. Also, my father has left Nottingham City on some business, and his return date is uncertain. If my sister and I have any questions about cultivation in the future, I'm afraid we will have to trouble you more often.”

When Yu Xiaogang heard this news, his hand holding the quill pen trembled violently, and a drop of ink fell onto the manuscript he was writing, spreading into a small stain.

He first looked up in shock at Tang San, seemingly trying to find any trace of joking on the other's face, but only saw a bottomless calm.

Immediately, an indescribable, almost overwhelming joy erupted in his heart like a volcanic eruption.

Haotian Douluo is gone!

The terrifying presence that had hung over him like the Sword of Damocles had finally left.

What does this mean?

This means that from now on, his teaching of Tang San and Cinderella will no longer be subject to any external interference or intimidation.

He could truly unleash his potential and meticulously cultivate these two unparalleled geniuses, entirely according to his groundbreaking theories.

They will become living evidence proving that Yu Xiaogang is not a piece of trash, but a theoretical master unlike any other before!

Chapter 122 For Revenge

Although Tang Hao had warned Yu Xiaogang, he believed that as long as he did his best to raise the two children to be successful, when Haotian Douluo returned in the future, he would only have to thank him!

The immense excitement made Yu Xiaogang tremble almost all over.

He suppressed his excitement, put on a serious and solemn expression, and assured Tang San, "Little San, don't worry! Since your father has entrusted you to me, I, Yu Xiaogang, will do my utmost to impart all my knowledge to you! I will never betray his trust, nor will I let you down!"

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang seemed to see that under his brilliant guidance, Tang San and Cinderella would become famous throughout the continent, and he himself would finally be able to wash away the name of a good-for-nothing and become a respected master of theory!

Tang San keenly caught the undisguised excitement and agitation in Yu Xiaogang's eyes. His sneer in his heart intensified, but he remained outwardly calm. At the same time, a hint of relief flashed through his mind.

Fortunately, it was I who came to tell this news today, not my sister.

If my sister were left alone to face this lewd-eyed, scheming theoretical master, who knows what despicable things this seemingly virtuous but secretly plotting despicable person might do to her, or what nauseating things he might say.

Tang San's disgust and wariness towards Yu Xiaogang instantly reached their peak.

He took a half step back without making a sound, lowered his eyelids slightly to hide the fleeting cold glint in his eyes, and maintained a calm tone.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you again, Master. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now; I need to go and cultivate."

Yu Xiaogang was completely absorbed in his beautiful fantasy, oblivious to Tang San's subtle emotional changes. He nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, good! Go and cultivate! Remember, a strong foundation is the most important thing; never be reckless! If you have any questions, come find me anytime!"

Tang San said no more, bowed, and turned to leave.

Only after leaving Yu Xiaogang's office and getting away from the nauseating smell did he slowly raise his head and look in the direction of the Third Dormitory. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but more than that, there was a firm sense of protection.

Sister, don't worry.

With me here, I will never let anyone hurt you or covet you.

If Yu Xiaogang behaves himself, that's fine; but if he dares to overstep the bounds in the slightest...

Tang San's right hand quietly clenched in his sleeve, and the internal energy of the Xuan Tian Gong flowed slightly.

Although he is still young, his past life in the Tang Clan and the obsessive personality he developed under Cinderella's guidance in this life make him ruthless and decisive when it comes to people or things that threaten him and his sister.

The phrase "the path to death" had already drawn a vague red line in Tang San's mind for Yu Xiaogang.

……

Tian Dou City.

The prosperity and hustle and bustle of this imperial capital came crashing down on me like a sweltering heatwave.

The area was bustling with traffic and people, lined with shops, and filled with the complex atmosphere of power, wealth, and desire.

However, all of this only made Tang Hao, who had just entered the city, feel a sense of alienation and bewilderment.

Tang Hao was dressed in a faded, even slightly stained and torn coarse cloth outfit. He had a stubble beard, disheveled hair, and a faint smell of alcohol emanating from him.

He blended into the bustling crowd, like a drop of oil that couldn't dissolve in water, standing out so conspicuously from the glamorous surroundings.

Tang Hao stood at the corner of a bustling street, the shadows obscuring most of his face.

Those eyes, once sharp as a falcon's, now carried a murky and unfocused emptiness as they scanned the world before him, a world that was now completely unfamiliar to him.

He had been living in seclusion in Holy Soul Village for too long, without contact with the outside world for many years, and had even severed all ties with the Clear Sky Sect. He knew almost nothing about the current situation on the mainland, the movements of various forces, or the undercurrents within Heaven Dou City.

Like a lone wolf whose fangs have been pulled out and who has been trapped at the bottom of a well for too long, suddenly thrown into a completely unfamiliar forest, surrounded by unfamiliar smells and potential dangers, he can't even tell which way to go.

Elixir...

These pieces of information swirled in Tang Hao's mind like fragments, but he couldn't piece them together into a clear clue.

Where should he inquire? Who should he ask?

The Spirit Hall has spies all over the city, so he must be extremely careful. If he is exposed, not only will he be in grave danger, but he will also implicate Xiao San and Cindy, who are far away in Notting City.

A long-lost sense of anxiety spread through Tang Hao's heart.

He subconsciously looked up and gazed in a certain direction in the city center.

He knew that there was a famous aristocratic school on the mainland, Yuexuan, located there.

His sister, Tang Yuehua, was there.

A strong urge surged within Tang Hao, making him want to see her immediately.

Yuehua has been intelligent and sociable since childhood. Having managed Yuexuan for many years, she must be well-informed. She must know about the elixir!

But the next second, this impulse was fiercely suppressed by the overwhelming shame and self-blame in Tang Hao's heart.

How could he possibly face her?

Back then, if he hadn't insisted on being with Ah Yin, and if he hadn't seriously injured Qian Xunji, causing her death, the Haotian Sect wouldn't have been forced to close its doors and shut down by the Spirit Hall, thus losing its thousand-year foundation.

As a result, his father died of depression, and the elders and disciples of the sect were forced to retreat to a corner, enduring endless ridicule from the outside world.

But he, the mastermind, fled with Ah Yin, ultimately failing to even protect her.

It was him who dragged the entire sect down with him!

It was he who forced Yuehua to leave the sect and run Yuexuan alone in Tiandou City, preserving a sliver of eyes and hope for the sect in the outside world.

He, Tang Hao, is a sinner of the sect!

He was a coward who had no face to face his ancestors, and even less face to face this sister who had always cared about him!

"Ugh..." A sharp pain shot through his heart, and Tang Hao groaned, his face turning pale instantly, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He leaned against the cold wall beside him, panting heavily. The resolute yet gentle look in Agin's eyes during the sacrifice seemed to reappear before his eyes, causing him immense pain in his heart.

But if you were to ask Tang Hao if he regretted injuring Qian Xunji back then?

His answer was only one: No regrets!

I will never regret it!

If Qian Xunji hadn't led the Spirit Hall experts to besiege and kill Ah Yin, coveting her soul rings and soul bones, how could Ah Yin have died?

How could he and Ah Yin end up with their family ruined?

The root of all this lies in the greed and tyranny of the Spirit Hall!

His hatred for the Spirit Hall is the only driving force that has kept him alive until now.

To avenge Ah Yin, and for the future of Xiao San and Cindy.

If I were truly like a headless fly, gaining nothing in this vast Heavenly Dou City.

So, no matter how ashamed or embarrassed he was, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Yuexuan.

For the hope of avenging Ah Yin, he was willing to put aside all his pride and dignity.

Chapter 123 Playing the Villain Again

Thinking of this, a hint of almost insane stubbornness and determination flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.

He suppressed his surging blood and qi, straightened up, and a terrifying light rekindled in his murky eyes.

We can't stay lost any longer!

He took a deep breath and forced himself to analyze the situation calmly. Yuexuan was his last resort, and he was too ashamed to set foot there unless absolutely necessary.

So, what's the fastest way to get accurate information right now...?

Tang Hao's gaze, sharp as a hawk's, swept across the pedestrians on the street, finally settling on several young soul masters dressed in luxurious clothes and wearing the seven-layered pagoda mark on their chests.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

A glint of light flashed in Tang Hao's murky eyes.

As the son of the former leader of the three upper sects, Tang Hao was extremely familiar with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The number one support sect in the world, with wealth comparable to a nation, extensive connections, and excellent information dissemination.

Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul has an inherent flaw: it stops at the Soul Saint level. Therefore, they will inevitably flock to any method that can improve their strength and break through the bottleneck!

This matter concerning the elixir caused a sensation throughout the Heavenly Battle, and there was absolutely no way the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was unaware of it.

They must possess the most detailed and crucial information!

They're the ones!

Tang Hao's figure quietly blended into the shadows of the crowd, like the most patient hunter, beginning to track his target.

For revenge, for his child, he wouldn't mind being a villain again.

Without any hesitation, Tang Hao silently appeared behind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples.

The group of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples were clearly unaware that they had been targeted by a terrifying beast. They chatted and laughed all the way as they turned into a small alley leading to the back alley of a noble mansion.

Right now!

Tang Hao made his move!

There was no burst of soul power, no earth-shattering momentum, only a pure killing instinct honed from countless life-and-death battles.

His figure flashed by like a ghost, so fast that it stirred up a barely perceptible gust of wind.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple at the very back of the procession felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, his vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

He didn't even have time to make a sound, while his companions in front of him continued to chat and laugh, completely unaware that one person was missing from the group.

Tang Hao carried the unconscious disciple like a chick, and in a few leaps, disappeared into the depths of the intricate alleyways.

……

A dark corner of an abandoned warehouse.

The sound of cold sewage dripping was exceptionally clear in the deathly silence.

The disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was awakened by a basin of cold water. He was horrified to find that his soul power was sealed and he could not move. A figure as tall as a demon god, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression, was standing with his back to him in the dim light.

"Who...who are you?! What do you want? I am a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!" the disciple shouted, his voice trembling with fear.

Tang Hao slowly turned around and looked coldly at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple on the ground.

“I ask, you answer.” His voice was hoarse and low, devoid of any emotion.

"To speak incorrectly, or to conceal the truth, is to die."

The terrifying killing intent was so real that it reached every corner of his body. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He had no doubt that the man in front of him would really kill him!

"Yes...yes...you asked...I...I will answer to the best of my knowledge..." The disciple was terrified, tears streaming down his face.

"What's the story behind the pills that's been circulating in Tiandou City lately, the pills that can help people absorb soul rings beyond their level?" Tang Hao went straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, the disciple seemed to have grasped a lifeline and hurriedly spilled everything he knew.

"It's...it's true! It's a miraculous pill! It comes in several forms: Bone Tempering Pill, Spirit Guardian Pill, and the even more precious Unity Pill! The effects are astonishing; our sect has verified it! It was...made by a mysterious sage named Ge Duo! She is a Title Douluo!"
