In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 140 What use is your Haotian Sect?

Zhu Wu turned to look outside. "Get up first. The academy's teaching committee will probably be here soon." With that, he closed his mental space, cutting off Tianmeng's perception of the outside world.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: "."

He turned over and continued sleeping soundly.

"Okay." The two women nodded and quickly changed out of their pajamas and into regular clothes in front of Zhu Wu.

Zhu Wu, who was already used to this, was even faster, changing his clothes in a flash.

As they walked out the door together, Dugu Yan was already standing outside, her face filled with self-reproach. "Young Sect Master, I'm sorry, I..."

She didn't even need to think; tonight's events must have started because she helped Ye Lingleng inquire about a solution to the flaws in her martial soul.

Someone overheard her conversation with Ye Lingling, or perhaps through other means.

Regardless, this person was likely trying to steal the rare treasures from Long Yingtian, and it's highly probable that it was Tang Hao. Being able to traverse the air, the newcomer was undoubtedly a Title Douluo.

In her opinion, within the academy, only Tang Hao, who is secretly protecting Tang San, is the most likely candidate.

Zhu Wu waved his hand to interrupt, "This matter has nothing to do with you, nor with Ye Lingling. Moreover, it's a good thing that this thief has come forward now. Compared to a venomous snake that has always been lurking in the shadows, a jackal that has already appeared is undoubtedly much less of a threat."

"Besides, after tonight's disappointing experience, they probably won't come again."

"Let's go." With that, he strode downstairs.

Was this also a backup plan left by the Beast Illusion Sect on Long Yingtian? Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang returned to the house, his expression grave. He was almost certain that the titled Douluo who had been repelled was Tang Hao. The fact that even Tang Hao could be knocked down demonstrated the power of that pillar of light.

And that enormous eye, as bright as the moon, was truly terrifying. It seems the existence of a demigod within the Beast Sect is indeed true.

However, judging from the current chaos within the academy, Tang Hao must have successfully escaped.

Otherwise, not only Tang Hao, but also his disciple Tang San would likely be in danger.

Lost in thought, I noticed a murmur of conversation breaking out in the dormitory area.

"Holy crap, what kind of spirit skill was that giant eye in the sky just now? It actually shot down a Title Douluo!"

"Damn it, who is this Title Douluo? Breaking into the student dormitory in the middle of the night, he's clearly up to no good!"

"."

Some time later, in the villa's living room, Dugu Bo strode up to Zhu Wu, his face grim. "Young Sect Master, it's my incompetence that I failed to catch that thief!"

Tang Hao has even used his explosive ring technique; there's no way you can catch up. Zhu Wu remained calm. "It's alright. Did you get a clear look at his face?"

Dugu Bo shook his head, somewhat helplessly saying, "The other party was completely covered by a black robe, and did not summon his martial soul or reveal his soul rings during the escape. He also did not use any soul bone skills, relying solely on his soul power to defend against attacks. Clearly, he did not want to expose his identity."

"However, the fact that he could withstand such an attack simply by releasing his soul power, and that he still had the strength to escape afterwards, makes me guess that his soul power is at least level 95."

Not seeing his face doesn't mean he can't leave clues for people to speculate about. Many people in the academy witnessed what happened high in the sky tonight, and since Tang Hao hasn't appeared before the world yet, he can't say it outright; that would be too fake.

However, mentioning it now will inevitably lead to speculation when Tang San's identity is revealed. In fact, some people will start making connections very quickly.

After all, Long Yingtian had mentioned in the Education Commission building that Tang San's father might be Tang Hao.

Those present at the time included not only Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, but also Meng Shenji, a member of the academy's teaching committee. If Tang Hao were to appear one day and then say that's exactly his physique, wouldn't that confirm it?

"Class of '95!" The three education commissioners standing next to them were taken aback.

"How could someone like this appear outside Yingtian Dormitory in the middle of the night?" Zhilin, the Education Committee member, was very puzzled.

"It's because of Lingling," Dugu Yan said, explaining that she had asked the question on behalf of Ye Lingling.

"So, this Title Douluo is here to steal rare and precious treasures!" Zhilin, the Education Commissioner, frowned.

Could it be Tang Hao? Meng Shenji, standing beside him, couldn't help but think of this possibility. Tang San was currently at the academy, and it wasn't impossible for Tang Hao, as his father, to be secretly protecting him.

Moreover, given Tang Hao's rumored talent, it's plausible that his soul power reached level 95 at this point.

Furthermore, Dugu Yan had just finished speaking with Ye Lingling at noon today when this titled Douluo arrived that very evening.

This is far too much of a coincidence.

Unless, of course, this titled Douluo happens to be hiding in the academy, very close by.

So, Tang Hao wanted to steal Yingtian's rare and precious materials for Tang San, who also possessed a plant-type martial soul? He thought to himself.

Of course, he couldn't voice this speculation openly; it would be too far-fetched. Crucially, based on the current situation, there was no concrete evidence to prove that the person who arrived was Tang Hao.

"It should be." Zhu Wu nodded slightly, looking calmly at Meng Shenji. "Commissioner Meng, I'd like to trouble you to send someone to inform Sect Leader Ning and His Majesty tomorrow morning. I have something I'd like to ask them for help with."

"Alright." Meng Shenji nodded. Even if Long Yingtian didn't say anything, he would have to report this to Emperor Xueye as soon as possible.

"In that case, it's getting late, so you should all head back now," Zhu Wu said with a smile.

The three education commissioners took their leave.

"Young Sect Master, there's no need to guess what happened today; it must be Tang Haoqian's doing." Dugu Bo said in a deep voice after all the outsiders had left.

"We don't have any evidence right now, do we?" Zhu Wu said calmly, then nodded slightly. "Elder Dugu, you did very well just now! All I need now is an opportunity. Believe me, that day won't be long."

"Young Sect Master, are you planning to deal with the Haotian Sect?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask.

"I don't like to leave myself with hidden dangers when I do things," Zhu Wu said calmly.

"But Tang Hao has already been expelled from the Haotian Sect, so this matter may not be easy to handle," Dugu Bo said.

"Don't worry, I have my own plans." Zhu Wu nodded. "Also, Elder Dugu, I might need you to do something for me in a while."

"Young Sect Master, please grant my command," Dugu Bo said respectfully.

Zhu Wu nodded. "It's getting late, Elder Dugu, you should go back and rest as well."

"Yes." Dugu Bo respectfully took his leave.

"Yanyan, you should go back to your room and rest too." Zhu Wu turned to look at Dugu Yan.

"Mm." Dugu Yan nodded and turned to go back to her room.

"Hmph, Tang Hao is truly shameless!" Ning Rongrong finally couldn't help but speak out indignantly, while also feeling somewhat apprehensive. If Tang Hao had really sneaked into the room, he might have killed them to silence them if there had been any disturbance. That would have put them in great danger.

Long Ling'er also looked displeased and frowned, saying, "The rules of the outside world are just troublesome."

"Don't worry, since Tang Hao chose to provoke me, he will naturally have to pay the price," Zhu Wu said with a smile.

"Let's go back to our room." He pulled the two women upstairs.

Nothing was said that night. The next morning, in the council hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Brother Ye, this is the first time you've visited me so early in the morning."

"Is there something important that you need to discuss?"

"It is indeed important." Ye Jia nodded with a smile.

Explain the situation.

"This is a good thing, and I, Ning, will naturally not refuse." Ning Fengzhi said with a smile after hearing this.

The two began discussing the details of their collaboration.

As they were chatting, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Sect Master, Zhi Lin, the instructor of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, has come to visit."

"Oh?" Ning Fengzhi turned his head. "Please come in quickly!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the head of the Ye family and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, from now on we are family, there's no need to be shy."

"Then I shall accept your offer without hesitation." The Ye family head cupped his hands in greeting and remained where he was.

Shortly after, Zhilin Education Committee member strode into the hall, exchanged pleasantries, and recounted what had happened the previous night.

"They've clearly come to steal the rare and precious herbs meant for my daughter." Patriarch Ye frowned.

Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo exchanged a glance, both revealing displeasure. They could guess without even thinking that this so-called unknown titled Douluo was Tang Hao.

The mighty Haotian Douluo actually became a thief. What's worse, he stole from the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Moreover, this was all done while they already knew about Rongrong's relationship with Yingtian.

If they accidentally reveal their faces during the theft, will they have to kill them to cover it up, and even kill their little princess?

Unforgivable!

"Brother Ye, how about we travel together?" Ning Fengzhi asked calmly, turning to look at the Ye family head.

The latter nodded solemnly, "This matter originated with Lingling, and as her father, how can I stand idly by?"

A short while later, on the carriage.

"Brother Ye, now that today's matter is over, you'd better move your clansmen to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as soon as possible," Ning Fengzhi said with a slightly serious expression.

The Ye family head looked puzzled. "Could it be related to this unknown Title Douluo?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Tang Hao," Ning Fengzhi said.

Patriarch Ye was shocked, "This!"

"Don't worry, Tang Hao can't do anything to Ying Tian. In the eyes of the Illusionary Beast Sect, Hao Tian Sect is nothing more than a slightly larger ant." Ning Fengzhi said, "Now that Tang Hao has done such a thing, Ying Tian will not let Tang Hao or even Hao Tian Sect off the hook."

Although he hadn't had many interactions with him, he still had some understanding of his son-in-law Long Yingtian's personality.

When dealing with enemies, the most likely approach is to eliminate them completely.

"Brother Ye, I'm just a little worried that your family might be affected," Ning Fengzhi continued.

Patriarch Ye immediately understood. It was a classic case of picking on the weak. If the Beast Illusion Sect were to truly destroy the Clear Sky Sect one day, and Tang Hao, the exiled Title Douluo, still hadn't been found, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be difficult to deal with. His Ye family, without a Title Douluo to oversee them, could still manage.

Now that the cooperation has been agreed upon, withdrawing now would surely anger Ning Fengzhi, leaving him with no other choice.

He immediately said solemnly, "I will make the arrangements tomorrow."

Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

"Father, I'll go there right now." Xue Qinghe's expression was solemn.

Deep down, however, he was overjoyed. Tang Hao had provoked the Beast Sect, which was undoubtedly good news for the Spirit Hall.

Furthermore, the life-saving measures left on Long Yingtian were not enough to defeat Tang Hao in one move even if he were present in person. The demigod behind the Illusionary Beast Sect was indeed powerful!

"Go." Xue Ye nodded. "Remember, Young Master Long has rendered meritorious service to our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."

The meaning is simple: the Haotian Sect has made no contribution to the empire over the years, and Tang Hao, as its successor, is even causing trouble at the Royal Academy founded by the empire. Now that there are more reliable options, what use is the Haotian Sect? Xue Qinghe naturally understood Xue Ye's meaning and immediately bowed in greeting.

"Your subject understands!"

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the main hall.
