Douluo: Tara's Mask, the Ultimate Darkness!

Chapter 369 Is the Toad Your Son?

Ning Fengzhi gleaned some hidden meaning from Yu Xiaogang's words.

There must be some unknown secrets behind the great fire at Haotian Sect back then, and Yu Xiaogang in front of us must know them.

"Master, could there be some hidden secret behind this?"

Ning Fengzhi gently tapped the armrest of the seat and asked the question.

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly: "I didn't witness the fire firsthand, but I heard the details from those involved."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes immediately gleamed with golden light. Sure enough, there must be a secret involved, and this secret was related to Toad Tang San.

Before talking about that fire, let me tell you about something else.

"Sect Leader Ning, you should know that Tang Hao is a Title Douluo, right?"

Yu Xiaogang revealed another secret.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi immediately realized something. It seemed that Tang Hao hadn't made a move since becoming a titled leader, and it was rumored that his ninth spirit ring was 100,000 years old.

Could it be that the fire was also related to his ninth spirit ring?
"Master, stop beating around the bush, what's the connection between these two things?"

Ning Fengzhi felt a strong urge to know; with such a secret right in front of him, he couldn't wait to find out.

I never imagined that the Haotian Sect had so many secrets. But how did Yu Xiaogang know them?
Ning Fengzhi was extremely curious, his mind racing with curiosity...

Yu Xiaogang chuckled softly. He liked the other person like this and enjoyed this state.

"Hehe, Sect Master Ning, there's no rush."

"You probably all think Tang Hao's ninth spirit ring is 100,000 years old, right? But has any of you actually seen it?"

Yu Xiaogang smiled calmly.

Ning Fengzhi nodded. What Yu Xiaogang said was indeed true. No one had ever seen it; it was only passed down from the Haotian Sect.

Yu Xiaogang continued, "Tang Hao's ninth spirit ring isn't some 100,000-year ring, it's 10-year ring!"

"The White Decade, the Ninth Ring".

"You may not believe it, but it's true."

"And that fire was also related to this spirit ring."

Ning Fengzhi listened carefully, his expression growing increasingly shocked.

A white ten-year spirit ring—Tang Hao's spirit ring was actually a white ten-year spirit ring. Ning Fengzhi didn't want to believe it, but judging from all the evidence and Tang Hao's performance and strength...

Coupled with Yu Xiaogang's confident demeanor, Ning Fengzhi believed him to some extent.

"Master, then what? What exactly happened to Tang Hao?"

Ning Fengzhi asked curiously, regardless of the truth, he wanted to hear it all first.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang felt extremely satisfied: "And Tang Hao's ninth spirit ring is cursed."

"When Tang Hao returned to the Haotian Sect, he and A Jing had a child."

Upon hearing the name "A-Jing," Ning Fengzhi glanced at Yu Xiaogang without making a sound. He clearly heard Yu Xiaogang's emotions change slightly when she said those two words.

"Because of the curse, Tang Hao and A Jing's child, and that child is the mistress."

"When the mistress was born, she was affected by a curse, which is why she looks like this now."

"And because of this, the Haotian Sect burned them to the ground on the very night the child was born."

"But what Tang Hao didn't know was that A Jing didn't die. She even escaped from Haotian Sect with her mistress and went into seclusion from then on."

"I only learned about these things when the mistress awakened her martial soul."

Yu Xiaogang slowly revealed what she knew, placing all the blame on Haotian Sect, claiming that it was Tang Hao's curse that caused Xiaosan to become like this.

Ning Fengzhi heard everything clearly and understood the connections involved. He never expected that the Haotian Sect would have such a secret. If this secret were to spread, the Haotian Sect's reputation would surely plummet.

He never expected that Toad Tang San was actually Tang Hao's son. Tang Hao, you are truly blessed.

The only problem is that my son is a bit ugly, but the other party is a god.

Now that Ning Fengzhi has heard all this, he believes it to be 70% true.

Thinking about how Tang San's second spirit was a hammer, and how the characteristics of that hammer seemed to be very similar to those of the Clear Sky Hammer.

With the addition of Yu Xiaogang's account, Ning Fengzhi believed a lot, but still harbored doubts.

How did a woman who had just given birth escape from the Haotian Sect?

But what exactly is that curse?
Ning Fengzhi was very curious about all of this, but now was not the time to think about it. He even assumed that if Toad Tang San was Tang Hao's son, Tang Hao would have been able to harden his heart and kill them back then.

So what about now? Will they admit it?
Ning Fengzhi believes it's highly unlikely, as this matter would have too much of an impact.

But for Ning Fengzhi himself, Toad Tang San was of great value. If he were his own son, he would want to acknowledge him immediately.

"Master, I never imagined there were so many things involved. Alas, the mistress is so pitiful."

Ning Fengzhi feigned concern.

“Master, you want to make a big fuss about this, but I don’t think this is feasible.”

Ning Fengzhi changed the subject and looked at the other person.

"Hmm? Sect Master Ning, what do you mean? With us here, he'll have no choice but to admit it for Xiao San's divine test."

"Sect Leader Ning must also know the importance of the Divine Trial. We will not allow Xiao San to fail the Divine Trial."

Yu Xiaogang didn't think there was anything wrong with this. With so many forces putting pressure on them, if the Haotian Sect had any sense, they would know what to do.

Ning Fengzhi pondered. Applying pressure would indeed be possible, since everyone knows the importance of the Divine Exam.

And what's wrong with having a god as your son?

After hesitating for a moment, Ning Fengzhi continued, "In that case, let's go find Tang Hao now. Master, let Sect Master Yu come along too."

"I'll go and inform Xingluo and Qinghe, and tell them to come too."

Yu Xiaogang nodded and quickly got to work. He knew that Ning Fengzhi had been persuaded.

Soon, Ning Fengzhi and his group gathered at Haotian Sect.

"Sect Leader Ning, Sect Leader Yu, and the two princes, what brings you here?"

Tang Zhan warmly welcomed the group. Tang Xiao and Tang Hao also came, and Tang Zhan was quite curious as to why they had come.

I have a feeling there's some kind of conspiracy.

After all, the last time these big shots gathered at Haotian Sect was during Tang Hao's wedding.

The group sat down, and Tang Zhan knew that they must have come for some reason: "Sect Leader Ning, may I ask what brings you here today?"

Tang Zhan, being a rough and unrefined man, didn't mince words and asked the question directly.

Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang exchanged a glance. Yu Xiaogang nodded, and a servant pushed him to the center of the hall.

"Sect Master Tang, Sect Master Tang Xiao."

"We have indeed come here today because we need Tang Hao to do something for us."

Tang Hao? They actually sent Hao Di to do it? Tang Zhan and his son were somewhat puzzled.

Before I could figure it out, I heard Yu Xiaogang continue:
"Tang Hao, the mistress is your son."
