Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 129 Disbanding the Tang Clan: A Difficult Choice
Flesh and blood sacrifice...with souls as the catalyst?!

Electrolux's cold words, spoken across endless time and space, were like two of the sharpest, most poisoned ice spikes, piercing deep into the hearts of Beibei and Tangya!

It instantly made the two of them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their bodies chilled to the bone!

They never imagined that this so-called "resurrection technique" would require such cruel, such...evil conditions!

"No...no!!"

Tang Ya's pretty face, which was already looking extremely haggard from worry, instantly lost all color and turned as pale as paper.

She suddenly rushed to the bedside, tightly grasped the teacher's withered hand, and tears streamed down her face like broken pearls.

"Teacher...Teacher, did you hear me? I will never let them do that, never!"

She whirled her head, her once gentle and beautiful eyes now filled with resolute determination and overwhelming hatred, staring intently at the communication device in Huo Yuhao's hand, her voice hoarse as she screamed:

"You evil heretics! Even if my Tang Clan were to be completely destroyed, I would never use the flesh and soul of my closest relatives to do such a heinous thing as prolonging life! You... don't even think about it!!"

Bei Bei's face was also ashen. He tightly protected Tang Ya behind him, his handsome face filled with vigilance and anger.

Although he also longed for his teacher to live, he could not accept exchanging Xiaoya's life for his teacher's continued existence.

This violated his moral principles and the code of chivalry passed down from the ancestors of the Tang Clan!
In an instant, the atmosphere inside the dilapidated little house became tense once again!
however.

Faced with Tang Yana's near-collapse accusations and Bei Beina's hostile vigilance.

On Shangguan Wan'er's face, however, remained that calm and elegant smile, as if she had everything under control.

She didn't even look at the two people, but instead turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao beside her, who seemed somewhat at a loss due to the sudden turn of events, and softly asked:

"Junior Brother Huo, based on what you've learned in the Department of Soul Guidance, do you think that a 'container' and a 'catalyst' necessarily require a living person?"

This sudden question startled Huo Yuhao.

He subconsciously glanced at Beibei and Tang Ya, then at the dying old man on the bed. In his mind, the profound knowledge about energy conservation, matter transformation, and soul dataification imparted by Master Lu Ban and Mentor Mozi flashed by like lightning.

Yes!

Who says a container has to be made of flesh and blood?
Who says the prologue has to be the soul of a close relative?!
Everything can be used as a tool, and all spirits have their own waves.

As long as a substance with compatible properties and capable of bearing immense soul power can be found, and energy can be converted and guided through a sophisticated mechanism and soul-guiding array, it is entirely possible to create a completely new "container"!
As for the "introduction"...

That's even simpler. All you need to do is find an item that has the deepest connection to the old man's soul and contains the most concentrated aura of his, and then use special necromancy to catalyze it. This will also have the effect of "attracting" the soul!

“I…I understand!”

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up instantly, and he said excitedly, "Senior sister means that we can tailor-make a mechanical puppet body for this senior as a vessel! And find a keepsake that he cherished most in his life as a medium for his soul to return!"

"Ruzi can be taught."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded approvingly, then her clear eyes fell once more on Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who were still dumbfounded, and she smiled:

"Do you two understand now?"

"Although our Jixia Academy possesses extraordinary abilities, we have never stooped to practicing such heinous and immoral arts."

"The 'sacrifice' and 'guidance' mentioned by Mentor Electrox are the highest secret techniques in soul magic. The key lies in the equivalent exchange of energy and the precise guidance of the soul, rather than the bloody sacrifice as understood by the world."

She paused, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Of course, the rare materials, effort, and energy required to create a mechanical body capable of carrying a Soul Master's soul out of thin air, and to accurately capture and guide the remnant soul, as well as the technology and knowledge it represents, are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

"Since you two want to save your master, then... what kind of 'price' are you willing to pay in exchange for this... opportunity to defy fate?" Shangguan Wan'er's words struck Bei Bei and Tang Ya's hearts like a morning bell.

They finally realized how shallow and ignorant they had been.

It turns out that Jixia Academy already had a more sophisticated and more... "benevolent" solution in mind.

However, the price behind this "mercy" is probably far beyond their imagination!
cost?

What does the Tang Clan have left besides this dilapidated ancestral home and its long-vanished reputation?
Beibei and Tangya exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of bitterness and... resolve in each other's eyes.

They knew that the only thing they could offer in exchange was…

"Our Tang Clan is willing to offer up all the hidden weapon manuals, martial arts manuals, and... our lives!"

Beibei suddenly knelt on one knee, her voice strong and resounding.

"I only beg... I only beg your esteemed institution to intervene and save my teacher's life!"

"We are willing to join Jixia Academy from this day forward, to serve as slaves and servants, to obey your every command, and to die without hesitation!"

Tang Ya also knelt down, her eyes filled with determination.

For their teacher, and for the last glimmer of hope for the revival of the Tang Clan, they were willing to... risk everything!
However, upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er gently shook her head.

"I appreciate your loyalty."

"However, your Tang Clan's hidden weapon manuals and martial arts techniques are nothing more than interesting 'reference materials' to my Jixia. As for your lives... my Jixia never trades lives."

She looked at the two of them and said clearly, word by word:
"The Dean has given the order."

"If you wish to exchange this opportunity for your master's rebirth, you only need to... agree to one condition."

"What are the conditions?!" Beibei asked urgently.

"from now on."

Shangguan Wan'er's voice carried an undeniable air of authority.

"In the Douluo Continent, the Tang Sect will never exist again."

"You must personally remove this long-dusted plaque, disband your sect, seal away all your inherited possessions, and hand them over to the Jixia Academy."

"From this day forward, you are ordinary students of my Jixia Academy, no different from other disciples."

"This is the price we, the Jixia Academy, pay for saving lives!"

Take the fire out of the cauldron!

This is the true purpose of the Jixia Academy!

What they wanted wasn't the Tang Clan's hidden weapons, nor the loyalty of Bei Bei and Tang Ya, but rather...

Completely erase the "Tang Sect"—a name filled with legend and glory, and carrying a trace of the world's destiny—and thoroughly integrate it into the much larger system of Jixia Academy!

Beibei and Tangya's bodies jolted violently!
They never expected that the other party would propose such a... resolute condition!

Disband the Tang Clan?!
Doesn't this mean they have to personally destroy the legacy passed down by their ancestors for thousands of years?!

How can they face their ancestors of the Tang Clan?!
