Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 197 Tang San Knows About Past Hatred

With this battle ending in a whimper, all parties have begun to plan and consider the follow-up.

In one of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's directly subordinate bases, everyone's faces were somewhat dark, as if they all wanted to express some dissatisfaction. After all, such a grand display had yielded no results and had even stirred up conflict between the two sides, which was quite disappointing.

Bone Douluo disappeared immediately, presumably having returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as the safety of the sect is the top priority.

Ning Fengzhi's face darkened slightly: "Tang Hao, Tang San, the information about this 100,000-year-old soul beast came from you. Can you confirm its current location? What has the Spirit Hall done with it?"

Tang San quickly spoke up: "Sect Master Ning, I learned from the Titan Giant Ape that Xiao Wu was inexplicably kidnapped, and the only person nearby at the time was Chrysanthemum Douluo. It must have been Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo who kidnapped Xiao Wu."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "Tang San, we went to such great lengths this time, and even our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School activated many of the Spirit Hall's spies, but in the end we didn't even find a trace of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. We even offended the Spirit Hall because of this. I'm afraid our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be under a lot of pressure in the future."

Yu Yuanzhen, who was standing to the side, also shook his head: "Sect Master Ning, Tang Hao, Prince Xuexing, since we haven't found any 100,000-year-old soul beasts, I'd better return to the sect first, otherwise I'm afraid something might happen."

Yu Luomian, however, seemed conflicted: "Brother, this concerns a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Shouldn't we think of another way?"

Yu Yuanzhen simply snorted coldly: "Second brother, I think you've gone mad. From beginning to end, this is clearly a trap set by the Spirit Hall. They just haven't managed to get the 100,000-year-old spirit beast yet. They can't just ignore the danger to their own sect. If something happens to the sect now, we'll both be sinners."

After being scolded by Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian could not say anything more and could only leave with Yu Yuanzhen.

Tang San, somewhat unwilling, spoke up: "Sect Master Yu, are you just going to stand by and watch a 100,000-year-old soul beast be captured by the Spirit Hall? We can certainly take other actions."

Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but scold, "Tang San, if it weren't for your father and teacher's sake, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. Besides, even if we really captured a 100,000-year-old soul beast, what would our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan gain? A soul ring or a soul bone?"

Upon hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Tang San was speechless. If it weren't for his father and teacher, a mere quasi-Soul Emperor would have had no way to provoke this veteran Title Douluo.

Moreover, just as Yu Yuanzhen said, his purpose from beginning to end was to save Xiao Wu. After rescuing her, he would definitely take Xiao Wu to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible. How could he possibly take out a soul ring or soul bone?

Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh, "Tang San, the Spirit Hall was one step ahead this time. Our entire plan has failed, and there's nothing we can do now."

In Ning Fengzhi's eyes, the main purpose was to compete for the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, or perhaps he was optimistic that Tang San could stand against the Spirit Hall. But now that he had nothing, he couldn't afford to give too much.

As for Prince Xuexing, apart from a few Soul Douluos and some troops he brought, he had no Title Douluo-level experts at all. He was just there to make up the numbers the whole time, and given the current situation, he had no choice but to retreat.

Only Tang San and Tang Hao remained in the room. Tang San asked, somewhat puzzled, "Father, what should we do now? Xiao Wu has clearly been captured by the Spirit Hall, and we have no news of her at all."

Tang Hao shook his head: "Xiao San, it's too late now. The Spirit Hall pulled this stunt this time. Although I don't know what methods they used, I'm afraid Xiao Wu is already in Spirit City. We have no way to rescue her now."

Tang San's eyes were filled with hatred: "Father, can't we go to Spirit City again? It's not necessarily a den of dragons and tigers."

Tang Hao couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao San, you should have seen the last battle. The Spirit Hall had a large number of people and was powerful, while my strength was damaged. I'm afraid that if I go to Spirit City, I won't be able to return. Even if the Clear Sky Sect mobilizes all its strength, it will not be able to truly contend with the Spirit Hall."

"Over the years, only the alliance of the three upper sects and the two great empires has been able to truly contend with the Spirit Hall. Other sects would not be willing to do something without their own interests. You have also seen the attitudes of Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi."

"Besides, you now have a certain level of strength, so it's time for me to tell you about the conflict between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall back then."

Following that, Tang Hao recounted in detail the war between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall, especially how his mother was forced to sacrifice herself by Qian Xunji of the Spirit Hall, and how his father was expelled from the Clear Sky Sect. The war between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall resulted in countless deaths and injuries, ultimately forcing him to retire.

After hearing all this, Tang San's eyes were filled with rage, and his face even became abnormally distorted: "The Spirit Hall forced my mother to her death. I will never let them get away with this, and I will definitely make them pay the price in the future."

Tang Hao simply sighed: "Xiao San, I've never wanted to tell you about the past grievances because the matter is too big, and the responsibility is too great. The Spirit Hall is like a mountain, which we cannot easily shake."

"I have always been very confident in my strength. No one of my generation can match me. However, the Spirit Hall is full of talented people. Apart from Pope Bibi Dong, the person who blocked my attack last time was definitely stronger than me. Not to mention that the Spirit Hall also has an old monster hidden in it. That sword of his directly severed my arm. If it weren't for my grandfather's sake, I would probably be in danger back then. This is also one of the reasons why our Clear Sky Sect had to retire back then."

At this moment, Tang San felt that his strength was insufficient. Facing the mountain of the Spirit Hall, he felt so oppressed that he could hardly breathe. Especially after Tang Hao's analysis, both Xiao Wu and his mother were filled with even more hatred for the Spirit Hall.

Tang San hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Father, Xiao Wu's disappearance is definitely related to Chrysanthemum Douluo. If we deal with Chrysanthemum Douluo, can we find Xiao Wu?"

Tang Hao shook his head: "Xiao San, although I look down on Chrysanthemum Douluo, I have to say that Chrysanthemum Douluo is now level 97, and his strength is above mine. I'm afraid we can't make a move, not to mention that he has four Title Douluos by his side. If we make a move rashly, other forces may not be willing to help us."

At this moment, all these things weighed heavily on Tang San's mind, making him increasingly hate the Spirit Hall. Even the murderous aura he had accumulated over the past six months in the City of Slaughter was starting to spiral out of control.

At the same time, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo, and others gathered together. Although the people from various forces had already withdrawn, the four of them were having some discussions.

Ghost Leopard Douluo looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo with some surprise: "Old Chrysanthemum, I didn't expect you to be hiding so well. You reached level ninety-seven without making a sound. It seems you might have a great future ahead of you."

Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but smile. His improvement over the past few years was indeed like a dream. You have to know that he had been stuck at level 95 for quite some time, while the other elders had even lower soul power levels and found it difficult to make progress.

Lingyuan Douluo, standing to the side, spoke with some confusion: "Old Chrysanthemum, your plan this time is quite ingenious, but with your intelligence, you shouldn't have come up with such a plan."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's smile froze instantly, and he quickly explained, "Ling Yuan, you're insulting my intelligence. This kind of plan was obviously my idea. If you don't believe me, you can go back to the Spirit Hall and ask Old Ghost."

The others just smiled and remained silent. Everyone knew that Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were wearing the same pair of pants, so asking would probably be pointless.

After chatting for a while, Ghost Leopard Douluo asked, somewhat puzzled, "Old Chrysanthemum, what should we do now? Should the two of us go back to Spirit City with you and protect you along the way?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head: "There's no need for that. The 100,000-year-old soul beast is clearly not on me now. Even if someone comes to attack me, I can easily escape with my strength."

At that moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to realize something: "Ling Yuan, how did Tang San manage to infiltrate your team? A titled Douluo shouldn't lack this kind of awareness, especially since we're on a mission right now. How could such a mistake happen?"

Lingyuan Douluo remained silent for a while before speaking: "Old Chrysanthemum, I didn't expect this person to be Tang San either. Besides, it was Nana who made the decision this time. Let Nana report to His Holiness the Pope later."

Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but sigh: "So be it. Nana is His Holiness the Pope's disciple. We'll talk about everything when we get back to the Spirit Hall. But we Spirit Hall people can't die in vain. We'll get revenge on Tang Hao and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School sooner or later."
