Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

Niu Gao understood that Yang Wudi had made up his mind, so he naturally wouldn't try to persuade him anymore.

"What about the old gorilla?" Niu Gao sighed.

"Old Rhinoceros, do you still remember what the old gorilla said when we left the Power Clan?" Yang Wudi's voice sounded particularly heavy in the silent air.

“Ha, once you step out the door, you’re no longer brothers.” The old rhinoceros’s face appeared even more solemn in the sunlight.

"Years of friendship can't compare to the sudden appearance of Tang San. Don't you find that ridiculous?" Yang Wudi's tone was a mixture of helplessness and resentment.

Niu Gao fell silent, recalling the unquestionable decisiveness with which Titan spoke. His gaze gradually dimmed, and his thoughts drifted to images of the past.

"Old Rhinoceros, or perhaps Old Ape, is no longer the one we remember. Back then, our Power Clan suffered almost no losses. The comfortable life we've had in Heaven Dou City over the years has subtly changed his mindset. The biennial gathering of the four clans has, with the passage of time, diluted that friendship to the point of being unrecognizable."

“We both know that he can only rely on Tang San now, hoping to strengthen his family through this. Tang Chen’s return has undoubtedly made him see a higher position.” Yang Wudi’s words were like sharp blades, piercing into the vulnerable part of Niu Gao’s heart.

"For this purpose, he forgot the past when the Clear Sky Sect abandoned us and was willing to lower himself to the status of a slave to continue serving Tang San. He went all out to try to pull us into his risky gamble. But did he ever consider whether we, who had left the Clear Sky Sect and harbored resentment because of the sect's damage, could be trusted and valued if we returned, even if we did our best?"

“Obviously not. A broken mirror is hard to mend, let alone the complexities of the human heart.” Niu Gao’s voice was filled with helplessness and anger.

“But Titan never considered any of this! Because his family had not suffered any major damage, he never harbored any resentment towards the Clear Sky Sect. All along, he considered himself a loyal servant of Tang Hao, and in his heart, he always felt like a servant.”

"Now, all he thinks about is his own interests, the interests of Young Master Tang San, and the interests of the Clear Sky Sect. He has easily cast aside the friendship between us." Yang Wudi's tone revealed deep disappointment.

He then turned to Niu Gao, his heavy gaze filled with endless contemplation and emotion. "As for Bai He, given his relationship with Tang San, there's naturally no need to say more."

“Old Rhinoceros, what about us? What real connection have we ever had with the Haotian Sect? Even if some of our clansmen married into the Haotian Sect, how long ago was that?” Yang Wudi’s words were like an abyss, from which there was no escape.

Niu Gao's face gradually showed signs of dejection, and he sighed in a low voice: "Old Goat, perhaps the changes among us began quietly from the moment our four clans chose to break away from the Haotian Sect. We are scattered to different places, and we need to consider the survival and interests of our clans more and more. We are no longer as united as we used to be."

"Old Goat, actually I have some ideas too," he said slowly, his eyes sparkling with memories of the past.

"Once upon a time, my hatred for the Spirit Hall surged like a raging tide. Over the years, my family has suffered from ostracism and hardship. However, as my thoughts have gradually settled, I have found that the hatred in my heart is no longer so intense. Their Pope has fallen; they did what they had to do. What wrong have they done?"

"Our mistake was following the wrong people and trusting the wrong people, which led to our current predicament." He paused, his gaze becoming even more determined.

"If the Clear Sky Sect had chosen to fight against the Spirit Hall alongside my Yu Clan, I would have had no regrets even if my entire clan perished in battle. However, they chose to abandon us and use us to protect ourselves." Niu Gao's voice was like thunder, filled with anger and resentment.

"How can I swallow this insult!" He clenched his teeth, his resolute voice ringing out loudly in the silence: "Old Goat, no matter what, I will never have any further connection with the Haotian Sect. As for the future path..."

He stared intently at Yang Wudi and said firmly, "Old Goat, I'm sticking with you now. You've suffered the most injustices over the years. We're true brothers now." As for Titan and White Crane, to hell with them.

Following Tang San back to the Clear Sky Sect felt like being treated like a puppy—it was unbearably embarrassing! The situation was dire; returning would mean dragging his clan to their deaths, a chilling thought. Moreover, he had long intended to sever all ties with the Clear Sky Sect and never have anything to do with that place again.

Furthermore, Bai He is Tang San's maternal great-uncle, making the relationship incredibly complex and difficult to unravel. Titan, on the other hand, directly addresses Tang San as "Young Master," making him feel like a puppet being led around.

When Niu Gao and Yang Wudi visited again the next day, Titan's expression had turned rather unpleasant.

Because standing next to him was Tang San.

"You're Tang San?" Yang Wudi glared at him without any politeness.

How dare Yang Wudi be so insolent!

Tang San's eyes immediately turned cold, but he still smiled and nodded, saying, "That's me."

Titan, however, looked displeased, seemingly dissatisfied with Yang Wudi's rude behavior, but still smiled and said to Tang San, "Young Master, this is Yang Wudi, and the one next to him is Niu Gao. They cultivated with me in the Haotian Sect back then."

"Old gorilla, stop fawning over me. I'm just here to take a look. If it's not suitable, I'll leave immediately." Yang Wudi stared at Tang San and went straight to the point, "I'm just asking, what makes you think you're qualified to have me follow you?"

Niu Gao told him that when he was drinking and bragging with them as Titan, he said that Tang San was also good at making medicine, but he was more skilled at making poisons, saying that his poison skills were even more formidable than Dugu Bo's.

Yang Wudi naturally didn't believe it. Could Tang San possibly have mastered a poison capable of slaughtering entire cities?
Tang San understood upon hearing this; these two old guys were different from Titan and White Crane, and couldn't be bound together by kinship.

The white crane was alright; it would happily follow you back as soon as you called out "Grandpa," but these two old folks...
Although Yang Wudi spoke rather bluntly, he still understood what Yang Wudi meant.

“Of course I know that the two clan leaders have grudges against the Haotian Sect because of the sect’s affairs, but I can understand.”

"But I don't know if this identity is enough?"

Tang San took out the Asura Divine Sword that he had always carried on his back and stuck it into the ground.

The power emanating from the sword caused all four clan leaders present to simultaneously summon their martial spirits.

"What is that?" Yang Wudi frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the Asura Divine Sword in Tang San's hand.
