Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

He thought his son had been summoned by the master to kill someone, and that his son had already killed that person.

Having killed the master once, he was basically satisfied, since his son was still alive.

But now, the master is saying that his son was the one who was killed?

Is the real culprit still at large?

So he decided to kill the master again.

This time, however, he was much calmer and didn't rush to kill the master. His priority was to extract information from the master first.

"Ning Rongrong".

The master spoke calmly, but in reality, he was already sweating profusely.

He didn't understand at all why Ning Rongrong made him say that. Wasn't this like a lamb being led to the slaughter?

"Ning Rongrong?" Tang Hao took a deep breath, but then thought again, that didn't seem right either.

Ning Rongrong was the one who brought Master and Tang San back, so she obviously had no ill intentions towards them.

Besides, given her intelligence, it's impossible that she was the one who killed Tang San—even if Tang San did try to kill her, she would be wary of his existence.

On the contrary, it's more likely that it's someone from the Spirit Hall. He had heard before that Grandmaster and the people from the Spirit Hall had a grudge against each other.

Damn it, it's the Spirit Hall again.

He shook his head, pointing the hammer at the master: "You're lying. It couldn't be that little girl."

"Huh?" the master asked.

The darkest place is under the lamp; this was precisely why Ning Rongrong risked revealing her name.

Before Tang Hao realized the truth, he threw out the real culprit as a smokescreen, so that when Tang Hao continued to investigate, his suspicion would be much less.

That way, I can live longer and develop for longer. Once I reach the Soul Emperor realm, I might even be able to turn the tables on Tang Hao.

"Fine, take your words with a grain of salt. I'll investigate myself. Now, tell me the information about the resurrection item. Whether it's true or false, I'll know as soon as I hear it."

Tang Hao believed he could judge whether the side effects of props were real or fake.

The master said, "The limitations of resurrection items are not small, but you have seen their effects. I was killed by you once, but I can still be here talking to you now, and that is the proof."

Tang Hao nodded, without denying it.

The master has indeed been resurrected.

"And then?" Tang Hao asked.

The master held up one finger and said, "This resurrection item has some limitations. First, it can only be used once per person, and a total of five times. When I obtained this item from the underground auction house, it already had only three uses left, and now it only has one use left."

Tang Hao frowned: "How could an underground auction house have something like this?"

"Then don't worry about it," the master said. In fact, the master didn't know why it existed either, because it was Ning Rongrong who made it up.

Upon hearing that there was only one use left, Tang Hao thought that it would be just right for Ah Yin to use it once. He prepared to listen to the remaining restrictions and didn't pay much attention to why such a thing would be available in an underground auction house. Finally, he nodded.

The master raised his second finger: "Secondly, this resurrection item must be carried with the person when they die to be effective; it cannot resurrect people who have been dead for a long time."

This second restriction was to dissuade Tang Hao from reviving Ah Yin using the resurrection item. The item had to be used on Tang Hao himself.

Moreover, Ning Rongrong deliberately guided the master to say that the first two were "restrictions" rather than "side effects," just in case Tang Hao didn't use the prop.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's interest waned somewhat.

This resurrection item doesn't seem to be able to revive Ah Yin. But that makes sense; the more limitations a resurrection item has, the better.

Seeing that Tang Hao did not react, the master then raised his third finger: "Third, this resurrection item has side effects. It will lower the user's talents, including soul power talent, mental power talent, and so on."

This side effect is that it increases Tang Hao's trust in the props.

Resurrection items, supposedly without side effects, would you dare use them?

"The side effects are quite significant." Tang Hao's expectant expression turned into anger.

His son had already used this resurrection item.

Does that mean his son's talent has diminished, thus reducing his chances of seeking revenge against the Spirit Hall?

If this master hadn't possessed information about even more resurrection items, he would have killed the other person on the spot. After all, the other person couldn't be resurrected anyway.

But then Tang Hao changed his mind again.

Consume talent.

So for him, there are no side effects, right? He's already a Title Douluo, so talent doesn't seem to matter much anymore.

Using this tool for revenge is perfect. If he gets his revenge, then Tang San naturally won't need to help him, and his talent will become irrelevant.

Chapter 84 Tang Hao's Revenge

However, there is a premise: that the side effects of this resurrection item are really only this small.

Tang Hao didn't believe it.

"Anything else?" he asked.

The master feigned innocence: "That's all, just this much. I know you might find it strange, but that's how it is. For a Title Douluo like you who doesn't need talent, and for someone like me who has no talent, there are basically no side effects."

Tang Hao stared intently at the master.

The master finally relented: "Alright, there's one more thing. After using it, your lifespan will be reduced by twenty years."

Tang Hao nodded. That made much more sense.

Surely the master won't keep hiding it any longer... right?

Tang Hao immediately denied the idea.

However, after being interrogated for a long time, the master still did not give in.

Tang Hao didn't believe the master had any reason to keep the secret, and began to think that these were the only side effects.

Reducing lifespan by twenty years is also a rather terrifying thing.

Of course, this is nothing for a titled Douluo who can theoretically live for 300 years.

Tang Hao stretched out his hand: "Give it to me, the resurrection item. Hand it over and I won't kill you."

When the master saw that the other party intended to let him go, he immediately had the idea of ​​asking Ning Rongrong to let him hand over the resurrection item that Ning Rongrong had returned to him to Tang Hao.

But the response I received was—don't give it to me.

The master was stunned again.

Seeing this, Tang Hao assumed that the master didn't want to give it.

That's right. Such an important item as a resurrection item would be even better if it could be exchanged for profit.

But what benefit would the master gain from giving him someone who has been expelled from the sect?

Tang Hao snorted coldly, his trust in the resurrection item increasing even further. He gripped the hammer tightly and swung it down.

If it were someone else, they might have tried to negotiate with the master, but unfortunately, he is Tang Hao, a rough man.

Just rob him directly. As for the reward, sparing his life is the greatest reward.

-

After that, Tang Hao said goodbye to Tang San as if nothing had happened, and told Tang San that Master Tang had strained his muscles while moving the stones and needed to rest, and that it was normal for the injury to disappear in a short time.

Tang San naturally believed it.

Tang Hao didn't care either.

In Tang Hao's eyes, although he was the last person the master had contact with, if the master died, Tang San would definitely suspect him.

However, he deliberately spared the master's life, and the master certainly wouldn't dare to reveal his information. Therefore, in Tang San's eyes, he was still just an ordinary blacksmith.

Tang San would never have imagined that he would be going to the Spirit Hall to avenge his mother.

Thinking it over, Tang Hao left, heading straight for the Spirit Hall. Having the resurrection item, he didn't intend to kill everyone at once; he'd just kill a few Title Douluos to give them a warning, and then return once the resurrection item was used.

Judging from the master's appearance, this resurrection item is for resurrecting someone to full health.

His confidence grew even stronger.

-

Later, in Wuhun City.

A ragged, rough man stood before the Elders' Hall, holding a rusty and cracked iron hammer.

The wind whipped his tattered clothes around him. He didn't exude any aura or raise any spirit rings; he just stood there, and the air on the entire Elder Street seemed to sink.

The platinum bishop guarding the gate glared and shouted coldly, "Insolence! This is the Elder Hall of the Spirit Hall, who dares to trespass—"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Hao slowly raised his eyes.

"I'm here to find two people."

"Moon Pass".

"Ghostly."

He lightly hefted the hammer in his hand; the sound was soft, yet it pierced through the layers of palace buildings.

“Back then, they surrounded and killed my wife, forcing her to sacrifice herself.”

"Today, I, Tang Hao, am..."

"Come—to claim—my life."

The next instant, the rusted iron shattered, and a burst of black light shot into the sky.

The rusty iron hammer, in an instant, shed all its dust and transformed into a gigantic, jet-black Haotian Hammer, its body shimmering with nine dazzling golden rings, plummeting straight down from the sky. The air was violently compressed, emitting a sharp whistling sound; the white jade steps instantly cracked, and fragments of stone flew like a torrential rain. The two platinum bishops guarding the gate felt as if struck by a thousand pounds in the chest; before they could even scream, they were thrown back by the hammer's force, crashing heavily into the stone pillars of the Elder Hall, spitting blood, their fate unknown.

Inside the hall, the shouts of surprise from the elders of the Spirit Hall rose and fell.

"It's Tang Hao! He's shown up, and he even dares to barge into the Elders' Hall?"

"Quickly! Go out of the hall and meet the enemy! It's laughable that I tried to put aside my hatred and win him over, but now it's clear that he still wants to destroy our Spirit Hall!"

"Don't let others think that my Spirit Hall is a pushover!"

A flash of golden light, and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei instantly appeared before the Elder Hall. Chrysanthemum Douluo, dressed in a brocade robe, held a phantom of a chrysanthemum in his hand and shouted sternly, "Tang Hao, are you insane! How dare you cause trouble in Spirit City?"
