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

Tang Xiao continued, "In the future, when you become the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, whether the Tang Sect is separated from the Haotian Sect or remains with it will be entirely up to your personal will."

"With such a major event, the Star Luo royal family will definitely put pressure on us. Only by 'eliminating' the Tang Sect can we avoid giving them any leverage and avoid being too passive."

Having lived two lives, Tang San understands many things and is not someone like Dai Mubai, a simpleton, who can be easily fooled.

He couldn't help but sigh repeatedly in his heart.

This time, not only did their attempt to steal a chicken fail, but they also exposed Zhuge Crossbow and other hidden weapons to the Star Luo Royal Family. It's easy to imagine that once the Star Luo Royal Family has this leverage, they will relentlessly pressure the price of these hidden weapons.

But it doesn't matter anymore. The Tang Clan is destined to fail, so the profits from hidden weapons are no longer important. If it can help Dai Mubai seize power in the court, then this "sacrifice" is worthwhile.

In the end, Tang San agreed to Tang Xiao's request. As for how to negotiate with the Star Luo royal family next, that was up to fate.

……

The matter concerning the Tang Clan ultimately came to nothing after much mediation from various parties.

Of course, the Spirit Hall had achieved its goal, the Tang Sect's influence had not expanded, and the Clear Sky Sect further strategically contracted.

After several targeted operations, the Haotian Sect was essentially crippled. At least, during Dai Tianfeng's term, they would find it difficult to cause any more trouble.

The Spirit Hall didn't press the issue further for another reason: the Tang Sect no longer existed, and the Star Luo Empire and the Clear Sky Sect had completely absolved themselves of any responsibility, making further investigation pointless.

However, this is only on the surface. Behind the scenes, the Haotian Sect needs to provide the Xingluo Royal Family with a large number of hidden weapons, and at almost cost price.

It seems that the Star Luo Empire is the beneficiary, but that is not the case.

Without money to earn, where do the disciples of the Haotian Sect get their motivation? Over time, the quality of their hidden weapons cannot be guaranteed.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, an uninvited guest arrived in Hanhai City.

The whereabouts of the Heart of the Sea God (the Vast Ocean Universe Cover) are unknown, which will greatly affect Tang San's progress in the Nine Trials of the Sea God. Unfortunately, Tang San was too far away from Sea God Island at the time, and the Sea God was under surveillance by the God Realm Committee, so he could not communicate directly with Tang San.

However, after Poseidon informed the situation, he arranged for Seahorse Douluo and a group of people from Seagod Island to land on the mainland.

A shipyard within Hanhai City serves as a hidden hub for the development of Poseidon Island. Since Seahorse Douluo and his group have never set foot on the mainland and are unfamiliar with the situation there, they need to utilize this shipyard to gather some basic information.

The Chai family, the largest family in Hanhai City, also heard the news immediately.

Of course, Chai Rong didn't know at first that it was the Soul Masters from Seagod Island who had landed. Even if he had planted spies in the shipyard, it was unlikely that he could obtain such top-secret information.

Unfortunately, in the following days, Haima Douluo was spotted by Chai Rong while strolling around the city with the shipyard manager.

Chai Rong himself was a Soul Douluo powerhouse, and even he couldn't sense the existence of soul power, so he could only be a Title Douluo.

In an instant, he guessed that the other party was most likely from Seagod Island, or a titled Douluo who lived in the sea and did not emerge from the world.

In either case, the moment an unknown Title Douluo appeared, he immediately sent the message back to the Spirit Hall.

A teahouse inside Hanhai City.

The shipyard owners, the Qi family, warmly welcomed Seahorse Douluo.

"Compared to the tea transported to the island, the tea from the mainland is the freshest and tastes quite good," Seahorse Douluo remarked, gently swirling his teacup. The Qi father and son exclaimed, "Lord Seahorse, are you sure the Clear Sky Sect is our ally?"

Tang San is Tang Chen's great-grandson, and his father is Tang Chen's grandson, inheriting the title "Haotian".

It's clear that Tang San holds a very important position within the Clear Sky Sect.

Of course, the Soul Masters of Seagod Island were unaware of Tang San's past experiences. When he arrived on the island, he stated that he came from the Clear Sky Sect, which was confirmed by Poseidon.

Tang San is a genius valued by the Sea God. Because of this relationship, Sea God Island and the Clear Sky Sect can be considered allies.

Having received an affirmative reply, the middle-aged man continued, "Lord Seahorse, the Haotian Sect has encountered quite a few troubles in recent years, so I'm afraid we may not be able to offer much help to you on this trip."

As the representatives of Seagod Island on the mainland, the Qi family father and son were secretly gathering information about the situation on the mainland. After all, although Seagod Island had severely damaged the invading enemy during the Spirit Hall's invasion, it had also suffered heavy casualties itself.

To prevent a repeat of the tragedy, it was natural to investigate the Spirit Hall's movements. During this time, they could also gather some intelligence on other forces.

Originally, the Qi family father and son had not paid much attention to the Haotian Sect, but the fact that the Haotian Sect was forced to become the fuse for the war between the two great empires made it hard for people not to notice it.

Seahorse Douluo was slightly surprised: "Wasn't the former sect master of the Clear Sky Sect a level 99 Limit Douluo? Could it be that the Spirit Hall or the two great empires have produced an even stronger one?"

Poseidon couldn't possibly tell Seahorse Douluo every detail about Tang Chen's situation, so the latter was unaware that Tang Chen had disappeared.

In Seahorse Douluo's memory, Tang Chen was a powerful figure on par with Poseidon. With him around, how could the Clear Sky Sect be in such a sorry state?
After the Qi family father and son explained, Seahorse Douluo finally understood.

The situation on the mainland is no longer what it was twenty years ago. Not only has Tang Chen disappeared, but the overall landscape of the mainland will also be reshaped.

……

Having obtained the information he wanted, Seahorse Douluo did not linger in Hanhai City and immediately led his team to the Haotian Sect's headquarters.

Meanwhile, inside the Spirit Hall.

The Chai family had allied themselves with the Hall of Offerings, so the news was immediately delivered to Qingluan Douluo, while Bibi Dong was unaware of it.

"It's truly rare for a Title Douluo powerhouse from Seagod Island to venture ashore," Qian Daoliu remarked casually, offering no further comment.

Since Qian Renxue began undergoing the divine trial, he has rarely inquired about the internal affairs of the Spirit Hall.

Right now, given the conflict between the two sides, he has no desire to get involved.

Golden Crocodile Douluo said bitterly, "Back then, our Spirit Hall experts clashed with Seagod Island experts at sea. We even lost two Title Douluos and several Soul Douluo experts."

Invading Poseidon Island was Qian Xunji's achievement. In order to consolidate his position as Pope, Golden Crocodile Douluo sent his youngest son.

During that war, his son perished at sea while covering Qian Xunji's retreat. Given this, how could Golden Crocodile Douluo possibly have a friendly attitude towards the soul masters of Seagod Island?

Furthermore, the plan to invade Poseidon Island back then was approved by everyone present in the Hall of Worship.

Knowing of the major changes at the front lines, it was no coincidence that Qian Daoliu personally went to Seagod Island; he and Tang Chen were simply there to divide up the island's spoils. Unfortunately, after being defeated by Poseidon, their plan to divide the spoils was abandoned.

After a prolonged period of contact, the three gradually developed a love triangle. Later, the Spirit Hall acknowledged this significant loss and never mentioned the matter again. (End of Chapter)
