In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

After days of travel, Tang San and his group finally arrived at the residence of the Yu Clan.

However, an elderly man, slightly shorter than the old Titan, blocked his way. "Old gorilla, this is a gathering of our four single-attribute families. Bringing two outsiders in seems a bit against the rules."

Hearing the old man's words, the old Titan couldn't help but look at Tang San and Dai Mubai. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Oh... look at my memory, old rhinoceros, I almost forgot to introduce them to you. These two are my grandson's friends, from the same academy. They have good talent. I just happened to run into them on the road, so I brought them here to broaden their horizons."

"Stop trying to fool me. Don't think I don't know them." Niu Gao snorted coldly and said irritably, "Old gorilla, it's not that I'm disrespecting you, you can bring anyone you want today, but not them. I don't want to deal with these two guys. Also, I advise you to get away from them as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Tang San frowned slightly, stepped forward, and bowed slightly to Niu Gao, "Could it be that Senior Niu Gao knows me?"

"Heh... I wouldn't presume to know you. I have heard of you, though. Your name is Tang San, from the Clear Sky Sect, the son of Tang Hao and a soul beast. As for the gentleman beside you, he must be Dai Mubai, the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire who has fled abroad. My apologies. Our Yu Clan's residence is too small to accommodate two such distinguished guests." Niu Gao sneered, his face revealing undisguised mockery.

Hearing this, Old Titan frowned slightly. "Old Rhino, calm down. I know you hate the Clear Sky Sect, but what does that have to do with Tang San? He was so young back then. It was the Spirit Hall that suppressed us, and the Clear Sky Sect that abandoned us. You're quite old now, when did you become so unable to distinguish right from wrong?"

“I’m the one who can’t tell right from wrong? I’m afraid you’re the one who can’t tell right from wrong. Do you really think I would bother arguing with a child? See for yourself.” As he spoke, Niu Gao casually pulled a stack of newspapers from his pocket and threw them at Old Titan.

Old Titan looked at it with a puzzled expression. He was stunned and stared at Tang San. He looked at Tang San with disbelief and said, "No... this is impossible. This must be a trap set by the Spirit Hall."

"You even framed him? Old Titan, I think you're getting old and your eyesight is failing. I admit I don't have a good impression of the Spirit Hall, but apart from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School being destroyed without any real evidence, the other related reports are based on facts. Besides, even if you don't believe in the Spirit Hall, what about the Heavenly Dou Empire?" As he spoke, Niu Gao pulled out a stack of newspapers from his pocket.

"This..." Upon seeing the patterns and text above, even the old Titan, who blindly trusted Tang San, couldn't help but let a hint of suspicion cross his eyes.

Niu Gao continued, "Look carefully, it's written clearly in black and white, even the parties involved have admitted it. Also, are you blind? Two young men in their early twenties, how could they look like that? You actually recognized someone who betrayed even his own companions as your sect leader. Those from the Haotian Sect are all the same, who knows, next time they might sell you out."

Tang San and Dai Mubai, who were standing nearby, also sensed something amiss in the conversation and curiously approached. When the two striking lines, "Shocking! Shrek Academy Disbands, Blood Ginseng Side Effects Confirmed," came into view, Tang San was startled. His eyes quickly scanned the newspaper, and the gist of the article was:

Former Shrek Academy student Oscar returns, exposing the ugly faces of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San. The master and disciple duo, in their quest to win the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, tricked their companions into consuming Blood Ginseng. Oscar and another former Shrek Academy student, Ma Hongjun, who also consumed the Blood Ginseng, are showing initial signs of premature aging; at just over twenty years old, their bone age is approaching forty…

The former director of Shrek Academy resigned due to inadequate oversight.

It also includes pictures of Oscar and Ma Hongjun beating up Yu Xiaogang, as well as before-and-after portraits from the five-year period.

"This...Xiao San, could it be that you really..." Seeing the scene in the newspaper, even with Dai Mubai's trust in Tang San, a hint of suspicion couldn't help but flash across his eyes. He didn't know Oscar, but Ma Hongjun had been with him for five years. It could be said that he had watched Ma Hongjun grow old day by day.

At first, he thought that Ma Hongjun had been to too many brothels, which caused him to age prematurely. He had made fun of him a lot because of this. Now, thinking back on it, it was terrifying.

Over the past five years, his own cultivation speed has also slowed down significantly. Could this be a side effect of Tang San's immortal herb?

For a moment, Dai Mubai couldn't help but fall into doubt about Tang San.

"Damn it..." Tang San cursed inwardly as he met the suspicious gazes of Old Titan and Dai Mubai, his mind racing. He knew that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation today, not only would he be unable to recruit the other three single-attribute families, but even the Power Clan, which he had already recruited, would become estranged from him.

Tang San took the newspaper, glanced at it, and then, without batting an eye, spouted nonsense: "This is nothing but a conspiracy by the Spirit Hall. They have a blood feud with me, so naturally they're doing everything they can to smear us. Fatty and Xiao Ao must have been threatened by the Spirit Hall to force them to beat up my teacher. As for the Heaven Dou Daily, it's controlled by the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire. To be honest, because he killed the first two princes, I chose to support the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng. He must know this, so he's deliberately smearing me."

With just a few simple words, Tang San completely absolved himself of any responsibility.

As expected, upon hearing this, the suspicion in Dai Mubai and the old Titan's eyes lessened considerably.

But Niu Gao didn't buy it. "Say what you will, but the Yu clan does not welcome any members of the Tang family."

Old Titan frowned even more. He valued Tang San highly and intended to entrust the future of his family to him. Hearing Niu Gao's words, he stopped thinking about the contents of the newspaper and said in a deep voice, "Old Rhino, is there really no room for discussion?"

Niu Gao was also somewhat annoyed. He glared at the old Titan and said, "Old gorilla, such a depraved person is exactly the same as the Haotian Sect. What good is high talent? He might sell you out one day. I'm giving you face. If he wasn't one of your people, I would have punched him long ago."

"Fine, let's go. Our Power Clan won't be participating in this gathering either." Seeing that the other party's words left no room for negotiation, the old Titan was furious and turned to leave.

Seeing that the old Titan was about to leave, Niu Gao was worried that it would damage the harmony between the two families, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him, "Wait... old gorilla."

Old Titan said with a stern face, "No need to say more. Now that my Power Clan has joined the Tang Sect, Tang San, as the Sect Leader, shares the glory and the loss. If you want to drive the Sect Leader away, then I'll pretend I don't have a brother like you."

“This…” Niu Gao thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll give you face. But only this once.”

Upon hearing this, the old Titan immediately revealed a sly smile. "Wouldn't it have been better if you had said so earlier?"

Next, just like in the original story, Tang San showed Niu Gao the Zhuge Crossbow, and then the two began to compete. As expected, with the Clear Sky Hammer equipped with six spirit rings, Tang San used the Chaotic Cloak and still forced Niu Gao to use his spirit.

However, there was a slight difference. Although Niu Gao was very tempted by the effects and benefits of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, he did not agree directly as he did in the original story because of the Blood Ginseng incident. They agreed that unless Ma Hongjun and Oscar clarified the matter in person, the Yu Clan would never join the Tang Sect, which greatly troubled Tang San.

He tried everything he could think of, but he couldn't persuade the other party.

................

On the way from Tiandou City to Longxing City.

High in the sky, a young man with long, ice-blue hair was flying rapidly, standing on a green lotus.

He was none other than Lan Si.

With the gathering of the four major single-attribute sects imminent, he needs to prevent the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng from falling into Tang San's hands, and at the same time, sabotage the process to prevent the Tang Sect from being established.

Just as Lan Si was pondering how to make his move, he suddenly sensed more than a dozen fluctuations of soul power to the west, the most powerful of which had reached the level of a Soul Douluo.

A hint of surprise flashed across Lan Si's eyes. He activated his azure fiery eyes and looked up, clearly seeing twelve figures with snow-white wings flying rapidly several miles away through the clouds.

The leader was a tall, thin old man with long, snow-white hair and rosy skin, who was over eighty years old.

Following closely behind was a girl who appeared to be around twenty years old. The girl was tall and well-proportioned, slightly thin, and extremely beautiful. Although she was far inferior to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, she was only slightly less beautiful than Xiao Mao Mi and Ye Lingling.

The girl stared proudly ahead, her eyes sparkling with an unusual interest in everything around her.

They were Bai He, his granddaughter Bai Chenxiang, and ten members of the Min clan, who were preparing to go to Longxing City to attend the gathering of the four major single-attribute sects.

"The swift with pointed tail is actually a member of the Min clan. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to us so easily."

As he spoke, a flash of blue light appeared around Lan Si, and he unleashed his Azure Lotus Domain transformation skill. His ice-blue hair vanished instantly, replaced by black hair. After five years, he had once again transformed into his pre-Martial Soul evolution form. He accelerated towards Dragon Rising City.

Ten miles from Longxing City, Lan Si 'accidentally' encountered the Min clan's flying team.

At the same time, the twelve members of the Min clan, led by Bai He and Bai Chenxiang, also noticed Lan Si and cast curious glances at him. They thought that the Swift-tailed Martial Soul was already the limit of the Min clan, but they never expected that there would be a Martial Soul whose flight speed was no less than that of the Swift-tailed Martial Soul.

What intrigued them even more was the fluctuation of soul power emanating from Lan Si. Apart from Bai He, who had already broken through to the Soul Douluo level, no one else could match his soul power.

Bai He seemed to want to have a contest with Lan Si. He winked at Bai Chenxiang and the others behind him, then accelerated and flew towards Longxing City.

Lan Si exerted force with his right leg, which also increased his speed.

Although his Azure Lotus Martial Soul's flight speed wasn't particularly outstanding, with the support of the eighth level of the Supreme Qiankun Technique, his flight speed was comparable to that of other flying Soul Masters of the same realm.

Not to mention the flight skill boost from the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.

With Bai He's soul power level only six or seven levels higher than Lan Si's, he was not afraid of his opponent at all.

Seeing that Lan Si easily shook off his clansmen, Bai He was surprised. He flapped his wings and sped up, but gradually he found that no matter how fast he sped up, Lan Si could always keep up.

The two only stopped when they arrived at Longxing City.

P.S.: First update, please vote for me! Please give me your monthly tickets!

One more update is coming, probably a little late, before midnight. I haven't been feeling well these past few days; I have a cold and am not feeling well.

Thank you to [孤城星宇] for the 1500 Qidian Coins reward.

Chapter 309 Tang San was completely screwed over.

Upon entering Longxing City, Lan Si immediately blended into the crowd.

Old White Crane stood at the city gate waiting for his clansmen. Before long, Bai Chenxiang and the others arrived awkwardly. She stepped forward and took Old White Crane's hand, "Grandpa, who was that person just now? How could he keep up with your speed?"

tsxsw.la

"I don't know him. Alright, let's go in quickly. Old Rhino and the others must be getting impatient." Old White Crane shook his head, a solemn look flashing in his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It seems that Douluo Continent is indeed a place where hidden talents abound."

Before long, the Min Clan arrived at the Yu Clan's residence and were welcomed into the reception hall by Niu Gao and Old Titan. Tang San and Dai Mubai also came to greet them, but because the Yu Clan had not agreed to join the Tang Sect, they seemed to have very little presence.

After drinking tea, Niu Gao, Titan, and Bai He chatted for a while. Just like in the original novel, Titan introduced Tang San to Old Bai He.

The result was unsurprising: because the Min clan lacked offensive capabilities, the old white crane became interested in Tang San's Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

However, Niu Gao was never one to keep secrets, and he bluntly told Old White Crane about his concerns about not yet joining the Tang Clan. This displeased Old Titan.

The matter was temporarily shelved from then on.

into the night.

Lan Si, who had been observing from the shadows, saw that Tang San had entered a deep meditative state, so he transformed into Tang San's appearance and knocked on the door of the old white crane, "Senior White Crane, may I have a look?"

"Come in," came the old white crane's voice from inside the room.

Lan Si pushed open the door and saw the old white crane sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at him with a stern face.

"I wonder what brings Sect Master Tang to see me so late? Could it be that you wish to invite my Min Clan to join the Tang Sect? I think I made it very clear during the day. The four single-attribute sects are closely linked, sharing both prosperity and adversity. The Min Clan will not join any sect until the Yu Clan and the Po Clan agree."

Lan Si shook his head. Knowing that Bai He was Tang San's maternal great-uncle, he played the emotional card, "No, I didn't come here as the Tang Sect Master, but as the son of Haotian Douluo, your maternal great-uncle."

“You…” The old white crane was taken aback. A hint of emotion flashed in its cloudy old eyes. After a moment of contemplation, it sighed and said, “It seems you already know.”

As the saying goes, if you're going to act, you have to go all the way. Right then and there, Lan Si cupped his hands in a fist and knelt down on one knee, saying, "Tang San greets his great-uncle."

"Good child, get up quickly." The old white crane flashed and arrived in front of Lan Si, nodding to help him up and smiling, "How is your father?"

Lan Si, in a dramatic mood, sighed softly, "Not good. Ever since Bibi Dong cut off my arm and I lost my soul bone, my cultivation has dropped to the Soul Douluo level."

"Alas... Fate is cruel." Hearing this, the old white crane closed its eyes in anguish. The Min clan was very poor, even poorer than some ordinary people. They didn't have the money to buy newspapers and rarely went out, so they were unaware of what happened at the Papal Palace five years ago.

Tang Ritian was his sister's son, someone he had practically watched grow up. How could he, as the uncle, not be heartbroken and pained to hear that Tang Ritian had lost an arm to the Spirit Hall and his cultivation level had dropped to Soul Douluo?

Seeing the old white crane close its eyes, Lan knew its chance to cause trouble had come. It raised its index and middle fingers together, and the moment the old white crane fell into painful memories, the Killing God Domain and soul power converged on its index finger and directly pressed it on the old white crane's chest acupoint.

Although Old White Crane's strength wasn't particularly impressive as a Soul Douluo, his reaction speed and agility as a pure agility-based Soul Master were outstanding, almost on par with some ordinary Title Douluos.

Under normal circumstances, it would not be so easy for Lan Si to defeat his opponent.

But at this moment, he was caught off guard because Lan Si had revealed Tang San's identity as a grand-nephew. And Lan Si's finger strike came too suddenly; he had no time to react. He only felt a tightness in his chest, and his whole body went limp.

"Why...why did you do this?" The old white crane's voice was very weak, almost inaudible, but it was filled with heartache.

He couldn't believe that his great-nephew, who had moved him to pity, would actually commit such a heinous act and launch a sneak attack on him.

Lan Si caught him and gently placed him on the ground. Using Tang San's tone, she sneered, "Grandpa, the Martial Soul Daily and the Heaven Dou Daily are right. Five years ago, in order to win the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, I did give Ma Hongjun and Oscar Blood Ginseng, which contained side effects. I know that you and the Yu Clan can't join my Tang Sect, so I must get rid of you. At that time, the Min Clan will be leaderless and will naturally have no choice but to submit to my Tang Sect and be at my command."

"Don't worry, you won't be alone on the road to the underworld. Next up is Niu Gao. When the time is right, I'll kill him and send him down to join you. You can only blame yourselves for not knowing what was good for you during the day."

"You unfilial son...you will not succeed." The old white crane wanted to shout, but found that he could not muster any strength at all. Moreover, his soul power had been dispersed by Lan Si's killing finger. At this moment, he was like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Don't worry. I will succeed. Next, I will pretend that it was someone from the Spirit Hall who did it. Then, under the pretext of avenging you, I will take over the Min clan. That way, they will not only not blame me, but will be grateful to me. I will also take good care of my cousin Chenxiang. I will treat her as my wife."

"Oh, by the way, I seem to recall Senior Titan mentioning that you possess a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. It just so happens that Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan will be coming tomorrow. The Breaking Clan is skilled in medicine making. With this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, I believe he will join the Tang Clan."

After speaking, Lan Si, under the old white crane's gaze filled with resentment and hatred, took out a pure white jade box from the soul tool he carried with him.

After opening the jade box and confirming that it contained Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, he slapped the old white crane on the forehead.

He didn't kill the other person, only left them half-dead without damaging their brain. With timely medical attention, they could still be saved. After all, his initial intention was merely to prevent the three single-attribute sects of 'Agility,' 'Defense,' and 'Breakthrough' from joining the Tang Sect. He had no conflict with Bai He. There was no need to kill him.
