Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

The Dragon and Snake Clan not only faces suppression from the royal family, but is also surrounded by various powerful sects. Their lives over the past few years have been incredibly difficult.

The couple, Gaishi Longshe, have never been tough people; bullying the weak and fearing the strong is their defining characteristic.

The reason why he did not accept any of the olive branches extended by various sects was not only because he was worried that his family would eventually be unable to escape the fate of being assimilated and swallowed up due to the lack of successors.

Most importantly, the offers from those sects did not meet their expectations. Their silence this time suggests they are waiting for a better price.

Only by reaping sufficient benefits can the Dragon and Snake Goddesses feel at ease letting Meng Yiran support the entire family after their passing.

The new seven major sects are all subordinate to the Spirit Hall. Apart from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the other six major sects have long been in cahoots.

Given the size of the Dragon and Snake Clan, it's unlikely that any ordinary sect could recruit them. Besides the seven major sects, only the Gathering Righteousness Sect remains.

Dugu Bo himself wasn't in a hurry to expand the sect's population, and most of the members joined voluntarily. A sect with no shortage of powerful fighters naturally didn't need the peerless dragon and snake couple, who were practically on their deathbeds.

It should be noted that the Juyi Sect already has nearly ten Soul Douluo powerhouses in their prime.

The only sects capable of winning over the Dragon-Snake Clan are the six major sects, led by the Elephant Armor Sect. Knowing Meng Shu's ulterior motives, the six sects offered the same terms of attraction, leaving the Dragon-Snake Clan no room for negotiation.

Anyway, they weren't in a hurry to win over the other side, and the Dragon and Snake Clan would eventually be unable to withstand the pressure and would obediently submit to their command.
……

Ten days later, Tang San and Tai Long arrived in Soto City.

Compared to the nationwide manhunts of the past, portraits are no longer posted at the city gates, and searches of people entering and leaving the city are now much more relaxed.

However, these guards were no pushovers. The portraits of Tang San and his group had been posted at the city gate for a year, and they had never seen portraits displayed for so long. They had already imprinted the faces in the portraits in their minds.

When Tang San and Tai Long entered the city, they were immediately spotted by the keen-eyed guards, but they did not make a fuss.

The wanted posters are no longer being posted, meaning that even if Tang San is captured, there's a high probability there will be no reward. Furthermore, Tang San and his group are all Soul Masters, while these beggar guards are mostly ordinary people with good physical abilities.

If a fight really breaks out, they will definitely be the ones who suffer.

However, the guards chose to report the news. Even without a tangible reward, the mere verbal praise would be a significant advantage for their future careers.

Within fifteen minutes, the message reached the current king of the Barak Kingdom.

"Oh? I didn't expect that after so many years, those who attempted to assassinate His Majesty would dare to return?"

The powerful Contra warrior standing beside the king made a throat-slitting gesture.

The fact that the Heaven Dou royal family and the Barak royal family experienced palace coups at almost the same time was no coincidence, but rather the result of arrangements made by the Spirit Hall.

However, this king was not a stand-in, but a real prince. He had only been unable to inherit the throne due to the primogeniture system, and eventually agreed to become a vassal of the Spirit Hall in order to gain the opportunity to become king.

In terms of political acumen, he was no fool like Dai Mubai; he naturally understood what Tang San's appearance meant.

Who knows, Tang San might have powerful figures from the Clear Sky Sect following him. If he turns against them now, causing casualties among his Soul Douluo-level subordinates, the Dragon and Snake Clan will definitely jump out and kick him while he's down.

Therefore, it's best to report this dangerous matter first and see how the Spirit Hall reacts before taking any action.

……

On a street in Barak City, after making some inquiries, Tang San and Tai Long arrived at the Dragon-Snake Clan's mansion. Compared to its former glory, the Dragon-Snake Clan had declined considerably.

The mansion gates were tightly shut, and the dried, mottled paint on the gates had peeled off, but no one bothered to clean them.

If the area in front of the door hadn't been swept clean, Tang San would have even suspected that the Dragon-Snake Clan had already moved away from this place.

Tang San didn't know which faction the spies around him came from, but through his Purple Demon Eye, he knew that many eyes were watching the Dragon-Snake Clan's gate.

If he were to knock on the door rashly at this moment, all the major powers would surely know of his presence.

After thinking it over, he and Tyrone decided to leave the area temporarily and rent a room in the city, preparing to find a suitable opportunity to visit the Dragon and Snake couple again.

Without keeping them waiting long, the next morning, Meng Yiran swaggered away from the Dragon-Snake Clan and strolled around Barak City.

Tang San knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make contact.

Under his arrangement, Tyrone set up a stall by the roadside.

Tang San didn't have anything good to offer, so he pretended to sell hidden weapons to attract Meng Yiran's attention.

Unfortunately, these hidden weapons held no appeal for the girls; instead, they attracted a group of curious boys who gathered around the stall.

Seeing that Meng Yiran was about to leave, Tang San relied on his Soul Douluo ability to contact her by transmitting sound.

“Miss Meng Yiran, I am Tang San. If you would like to sit down and have a chat, please go to the weapon stall on your left.”

Meng Yiran had no feelings for Tang San. Her attempt to bring the two together was merely wishful thinking on the part of the Dragon Duke and Snake Lady.

After the Soul Master Competition, Shrek Academy was purged, and Tang Hao even interfered, resulting in Tang San being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.

Without Tang Hao, Tang San lost his biggest backer, and the Dragon God and Snake Goddess naturally reduced their attention to him, even believing that he would never be able to leave the Spirit Hall's prison.

As for Tang San's subsequent alliance with the Clear Sky Sect to assassinate Emperor Xue Ye in the palace, although it caused a great uproar on the continent, the Dragon and Snake Clan at that time was too busy to care about Tang San's affairs.
Now that Tang San has reappeared, Meng Yiran feels a bit strange and thinks that Tang San is quite bold.

When Meng Yiran arrived at the stall, she did not see Tang San, but she recognized Tailong because he had competed in the Soul Master Competition.

Seeing her stall surrounded by a group of kids, she cursed, and the children scattered.

She asked, "Where is he?"

Tailong did not answer, but instead heard Tang San's telepathic message: "Miss Meng Yiran, I have noticed that there are spies from other forces in front of the Dragon Snake Clan, so I have no choice but to communicate with you in this way."

"Be natural with Tyrone. If you want to answer 'yes,' use 'affordable' instead. If you want to answer 'no,' use 'cheaper' instead."

Meng Yiran didn't know what tricks he was up to, but the Dragon and Snake Clan was indeed in a bad situation. Only with the help of external forces could they have a chance to catch their breath.

She answered Tang San's questions one by one, as long as they weren't overly sensitive.

Soon, Tang San learned about the Dragon-Snake Clan's predicament from her. (End of Chapter)
