Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 247 Haotian Sect Admits Defeat

After learning that Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, and Bai He were unwilling to seek revenge against the Spirit Hall, Tang Xiao, Tang Yuehua, Ning Fengzhi, and Xue Beng's hopes were dashed.

"Young friend Ye, as the leader of one of the three major single-attribute families, you are unwilling to avenge your subordinates. Aren't you afraid they will leave?"

At this moment, Lieyang Douluo spoke up, intending to use a divisive tactic to sow discord between the three major families and Ye Liangchen.

"It is an honor that Senior Niu Gao and the others have joined my Tenglong Pavilion. They are looking up to me. If they are not satisfied, they are free to leave at any time. I will not force them. After all, everyone has the right to choose."

"Life is precious, love is more precious, but freedom is the most precious of all."

"The greatest happiness in life is to live freely. I will not restrict the freedom of everyone in Tenglong Pavilion, because we are all human beings, struggling in this mortal world. No one is superior to anyone else."

Ye Liangchen found Lieyang Douluo's divisive tactics laughable, so he directly said a series of profound words, leaving everyone stunned.

The old gorilla Titan sat in the distance, staring at Ye Liangchen with his big, round eyes, not daring to say or ask anything. At this moment, he also understood why the young master Tang San had lost to this monster. They were simply not on the same level.

"Slap slap..."

"Everyone is struggling in this mortal world, and no one is superior to anyone else. Xiao Chen, what you said is so true."

After hearing Ye Liangchen's words, Dugu Bo, Ye Cailan, Ye Suling and the others clapped and cheered.

"This brat is quite the talker." Shui Lanxin and Shui Lanyue exchanged a smile, feeling very pleased.

"Lord, we are willing to follow you and swear allegiance to you. If we disobey you, may we die a horrible death."

"We don't want to be seen as treacherous people."

The three old men, Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, and Bai He, immediately pledged their loyalty to Ye Liangchen. They had finally found such a good boss with a bright future ahead of them, and only a fool would leave.

"Sect Master, I, Yang Wushuang, swear that I will follow you forever. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning."

Yang Wushuang was also convinced by Ye Liangchen's words, so he immediately expressed his loyalty and asked to join Tenglong Pavilion. After all, he was sent by Bibi Dong to join, so if he didn't express his loyalty now, when would he?

"It is my honor that Senior Yang Wushuang thinks highly of me. Welcome to Tenglong Pavilion."

When a Contra player publicly pledges his loyalty, Ye Liangchen naturally has to applaud and welcome it.

"Tang Lie, you think you can sow discord between us and the Pavilion Master with such tricks? That's ridiculous."

"We know exactly what kind of people you Haotian Sect are."

Bai He, Niu Gao, and Yang Wudi looked coldly at Lieyang Douluo, wanting to slap him a few times.

"presumptuous!"

"Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, don't forget that you two relied on the Haotian Sect to develop back then."

Lieyang Douluo was a hot-tempered person, and he immediately exploded after being told that.

"Hey, Blazing Sun Douluo, why are you yelling so loudly? If you're so capable, why don't you go and eclipse the heavens?"

"With such a temper, you might as well call yourself the Sun-Giving Douluo from now on."

Ye Liangchen also shouted at Lieyang Douluo at this moment, saying that he dared to yell and shout in his own land, and that he could not be tolerated.

"Pfft...! The Sun God Douluo."

Dugu Bo, Ye Cailan, Ning Fengzhi, and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing the term "Sun God Douluo."

"Hey kid, stop talking. You should show some respect to your seniors."

Shui Lanxin quickly covered Ye Liangchen's mouth to stop the little guy from saying anything more, otherwise he would drive her crazy.

"Boy, you..." Lieyang Douluo was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her.

"Seventh Uncle, watch your step."

Tang Yuehua and Tang Xiao were almost laughing out of anger, but due to their status, they dared not laugh. So they reminded Lieyang Douluo not to lose his temper here.

"Uncle, we were decimated when we fought against the Spirit Hall back then, and we were already struggling to survive. It wasn't that we truly abandoned you." Tang Yuehua tried to win back Old Man Bai's support by using her status as a relative.

"Back then, all the trouble was caused by Tang Hao. After the incident, all he knew was to run away and hide everywhere. When the Spirit Hall couldn't find him, they took their anger out on us. In those years, we were actually suffering for him."

"If Tang Hao had even a shred of conscience, he should have come forward and taken full responsibility for all the crimes, but what did he do? He only knew how to hide. Your Clear Sky Sect is the same; seeing us being suppressed by the Spirit Hall, not a single person came forward to speak up for us."

"Tang Yuehua, no matter how badly you portray the Haotian Sect, it doesn't change the fact that they abandoned us. What's the point of still calling the old white bird 'uncle'? A sect that can abandon even its own uncle is not worth following."

Niu Gao and Yang Wudi were furious when they heard Tang Yuehua's words, and they immediately recounted all the suffering they had endured over the years.

"To put it bluntly, our four single-attribute clans are just working for your Haotian Sect. It's normal for us to be abandoned by you, even if the old white bird is your maternal uncle."

Niu Gao and Yang Wudi knew that the Haotian Sect had very strict rules and hierarchy. Those who were not direct descendants were not qualified to enter the inner sect, let alone the descendants of affiliated sects like themselves.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. I hope that your three families won't become our enemies in the future."

"If you become our enemy, don't blame us for our merciless hammers."

Seeing this, Tang Xiao and Tang Lie stopped insisting and left Tenglong Pavilion after uttering a harsh remark.

"Xiaotian Douluo, whether our Tenglong Pavilion is your friend or foe is not up to us, but up to you."

"Also, a reminder: I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they do offend me, I will eliminate them completely."

Seeing that Tang Xiao and Tang Lie dared to make such harsh remarks before leaving, Ye Liangchen directly and domineeringly retorted.

"hiss…"

Ye Liangchen's words immediately caused Ning Fengzhi, Xue Beng, Tang Xiao, and the others to gasp in shock. This was just too ruthless.

"Buzzing..."

"Chirp chirp..."

"hold head high…"

"Howling Sky Douluo, Blazing Sun Douluo, are you threatening the Tenglong Pavilion? If you want war, then bring it on."

Shui Lanxin, Shui Lanyue, Ye Cailan, Dugu Bo, and Ye Suling, all titled Douluo, also cooperated with Ye Liangchen, releasing their martial souls and soul rings to press down on their opponent with powerful auras.

The four red, 100,000-year soul rings flashed, dazzling everyone's eyes.

"Buzzing..."

Tang Xiao and Tang Lie were immediately alarmed and released their martial spirits to resist the pressure.

"Bang bang..."

"This is…"

With her level 98 soul power, Shui Lanxin directly forced Tang Xiao and Tang Lie to retreat repeatedly, leaving the two utterly shocked.

Terrified by the avalanche, he dared not even breathe and could only tremble behind Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Titan.

"Tang Xiao, Tang Lie, now that we've joined the Tenglong Pavilion, we should act according to the Pavilion Master's will. How dare you presume to tell us what to do?"

Yang Wudi, Yang Wushuang, Niu Gao, and Bai He stood in front of Ye Liangchen, coldly looking at Tang Xiao and Tang Lie.

"Howling Sky Douluo, Blazing Sun Douluo, do you know how Tang Dachui was crippled? If you want to cause trouble, I'll make you the second Tang Dachui. Losing your arms and legs isn't a pleasant experience."

Ye Liangchen stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table, his purpose being to warn them against any underhanded tactics.

"Ah...this..."

Tang Yuehua, Titan, Ning Fengzhi and the others were dumbfounded. Tang Hao was actually crippled by this little guy. How could this be?

"Did you really ruin Haodi? What method did you use? Why did you do this?"

Tang Xiao asked three questions in a row: If this kid could cripple Tang Hao, then he could also kill him. How did this kid manage to do that?

"That Tang Dachui has repeatedly caused me trouble for his son's sake, and even tried to steal my good fortune. I had no choice but to cripple his hand and foot so that he could experience what true suffering is."

"As for how to cripple him, that's my secret, I won't tell you."

"Let me tell you the truth! The only people I have a grudge against from the Clear Sky Sect are Tang Dachui and Tang San. As for how we became enemies, it's because Tang San lost to me in the Soul Master Competition and held a grudge, trying every means to kill me. Tang Dachui, for his son's sake, naturally wanted to kill me as well, but unfortunately, I had a group of Title Douluos around me, so he never had a chance to make a move. Naturally, I had to eliminate this threat, so when Tang Dachui made his grand entrance, I directly crippled him, preventing him from showing off in front of everyone."

"The Clear Sky Sect already has a grudge against the Spirit Hall, and Tang Dachui and Tang San have come to provoke me. To be honest, I've never seen anyone so reckless. I guess the father and son want the Clear Sky Sect to be destroyed as soon as possible. If Senior Tang Chen knew that his descendants could be so reckless, he would probably be so angry that he would crawl out of his coffin and curse you spendthrift bastards."

"Your Clear Sky Sect reached its peak during the era of Senior Tang Chen, becoming the number one sect in the world, capable of challenging the Spirit Hall. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female. The strength of the Clear Sky Sect also made the Spirit Hall feel threatened. Back then, Tang Dachui took his 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor spirit beast wife to Spirit City for a stroll, which directly allowed the Spirit Hall's Title Douluo to detect the spirit beast's aura, leading to a series of major events."

"Tang Hao is truly a freak. He brought his pregnant soul beast wife to Wuhun City, as if he was afraid others wouldn't know he had a soul beast wife. I even suspect he did it on purpose, aiming for a 100,000-year soul ring. Because the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor is unkillable, and to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring, the Blue Silver Emperor must sacrifice itself. So Tang Hao then created a situation where death was inevitable. The Blue Silver Emperor would definitely sacrifice itself for its son, and Qian Xunji wouldn't kill Tang Hao for a 100,000-year soul beast. At that time, the Clear Sky Sect had the prestige of Senior Tang Chen protecting it, and the Wuhun Hall wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Once Tang Hao obtained a 100,000-year soul ring, he could show off. The price was only losing a soul beast wife. To put it bluntly, the Blue Silver Emperor was just a moving 100,000-year soul ring. Tang Hao looked at a 100,000-year soul ring every day, so it was impossible for him not to be tempted. If he truly loved the Blue Silver Emperor, he would find a place to live in seclusion until the Blue Silver Emperor gave birth to a child and was able to conceal its soul beast aura."

"However, Tang Hao underestimated the power of love. After the Blue Silver Emperor's sacrifice, he regretted it and finally had a change of heart. Feeling guilty for betraying the Blue Silver Emperor's true feelings, he went mad. He injured Qian Xunji with the Ring Explosion Technique and fled. What he didn't expect was that Qian Xunji died not long after returning to the Spirit Hall, which immediately triggered a war between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Sect was crippled, and Tang Hao became a sinner of the Clear Sky Sect. Coupled with his guilt for betraying the Blue Silver Emperor, he was too ashamed to face anyone and could only hide like a rat in a remote village, numbing himself with alcohol all day long. He didn't bathe all year round and lived like a beggar. Until..." Tang San awakened his twin martial souls, and Tang Hao felt his chance for revenge against the Spirit Hall had arrived. However, he himself had no idea how to cultivate twin martial souls, so he entrusted Tang San to the "Farting Master" Yu Xiaogang. That guy knew nothing but farting; to test his nonsensical theories, he used Tang San as a guinea pig, frantically adding poison-attribute spirit rings to the Blue Silver Grass martial soul. He didn't know that each poison-attribute spirit ring Tang San absorbed consumed a portion of his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. Tang San absorbed four poison-attribute spirit rings, almost completely exhausting his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, preventing his Blue Silver Grass martial soul from awakening into a Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, rendering it a truly useless martial soul.

"Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang, because of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul problem, set their sights on my martial soul evolution method. They repeatedly caused me trouble, constantly courting death. As a result, as you all saw, Tang Hao was crippled, and Yu Xiaogang became a eunuch. He should be called Eunuch Yu now."

"During the era of Senior Tang Chen, the Haotian Sect lived a very comfortable life. Disciples could roam freely. But after he passed away, the overall strength of the Haotian Sect declined rapidly. In the end, it was because you lacked a sense of crisis and only knew how to rest on your laurels and rely on the prestige of your ancestors, showing off your power everywhere and attracting enemies. If an organization reaches its peak but does not strive for progress, it will quickly decline. The Haotian Sect is in this state. This is called the decline after reaching its peak."

Ye Liangchen told Tang Xiao the reason why Tang Hao and his son had become enemies with him, and also analyzed the current situation of Haotian Sect. His words were like knives piercing the heart of the other party.

"Hiss! This is practically killing someone by breaking their spirit!"

Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, Xue Beng, and Titan exchanged glances, all feeling a chill run down their spines. Only now did they realize just how terrifying this peerless prodigy was.

Tang Xiao, Tang Lie, and Tang Yuehua were stunned. It turned out that Yu Xiaogang had ruined Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. And the current state of the Clear Sky Sect was just as Ye Liangchen had said. What was even more terrifying was that Tang San, who had fallen into demonic ways, was now nowhere to be found.

The wind is blowing from the north! The snowflakes are falling so loudly! ...

Tang Xiao was now very flustered. He remembered what Tang Hao had told him before: Ye Liangchen was an enemy more terrifying than the Spirit Hall. Now it was confirmed.

"Howling Sky Douluo, if you want to avenge Tang Hao, then bring it on! We'll take it all."

Shui Lanxin and her sisters, Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao and others also cooperated with Ye Liangchen to make statements to Tang Xiao.

"Young Master Ye, could you please spare our Haotian Sect? We'll grant you anything you desire."

Tang Yuehua broke down at this moment and immediately begged Ye Liangchen for mercy, pleading with him to spare the Haotian Sect.

"Master Tang, my only enemies are Tang Dachui and Tang San, especially Tang San. He will definitely not let me go, and of course I will not let him go either. I will not involve innocent people. If you want to avenge Tang Dachui, you are welcome to do so at any time. However, the Haotian Sect will disappear from this world forever."

"The choice is in your hands, not mine."

Ye Liangchen spread his hands, thinking: Your Haotian Sect has Tang San as an enemy, which is enough for you to handle. Why would you need me to take action?

"Young friend Ye, please rest assured, the Haotian Sect will not avenge Tang Hao; we wish we could kill him as soon as possible."

"That bastard Tang San was expelled from the sect a year ago. He jumped off a cliff two thousand meters high and his body is gone."

Tang Xiao and Tang Lie immediately stated that they would not be enemies with Ye Liangchen. As for Tang San turning into a demon, the two did not mention it, only saying that the guy jumped off a cliff and died.

"Tang San was actually forced to jump off a cliff to his death by you guys? I have to say, you guys really know how to play games."

When Ye Liangchen heard about Tang San jumping off the cliff, he pretended to be shocked but did not expose their lie.

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Xue Beng, and Titan were also extremely surprised. It was unbelievable that Tang San would be forced to jump off a cliff by the Haotian Sect.

"As expected of the Haotian Sect, they are ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to their own people."

Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, Yang Wushuang, Bai He, and the others also joined in the mockery.

"Sect Master Shui, Young Master Ye, we'll take our leave now."

Unable to win over Ye Liangchen and the Tianshui Sect, Ning Fengzhi, Tang Yuehua, and their group had no choice but to leave.

Old gorilla Titan followed Tang Xiao and the others with a complicated expression. After hearing Ye Liangchen's words, he realized how foolish his previous choice had been, but it was too late to regret it now. If he left Haotian Sect now, Tang Xiao and those old guys would definitely not let him go.

Sigh! The path I chose, I have to walk it to the end, even with tears in my eyes.
