Chapter 105, A Series of Schemes

The old man was vigorous and slender, with black hair and beard, and bright, piercing eyes. He wore a black robe that was exactly the same as Tang Hao's, which seemed to be a traditional skill of the Haotian Sect in concealing their identities.

The moment the old man entered, his eyes were immediately fixed on Tang Hao inside the tavern.

"brute!"

The old man's first words to Tang Hao were an unhesitating tirade.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao slowly stood up and walked to the old man.

"Seventh Uncle..."

Tang Hao shouted in a hoarse voice.

The old man stared intently at Tang Hao, his eyes blazing with fury.

"You beast, why are you still seeing me? If you have any conscience, you should kill yourself right now to atone for your sins!"

"I'm not holding back," said Blazing Sun Douluo without any mercy.

Meng Bei and the others sat in the back, watching the scene with great interest.

On the field, after hearing what Lieyang Douluo said, Tang Hao remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly knelt down in front of Lieyang Douluo.

Lieyang Douluo's expression changed slightly. Even he hadn't expected that Tang Hao would kneel down in front of him and apologize today.

No matter what, Tang Hao was a genuine Title Douluo and the son of the former sect leader. Now that Tang Hao had knelt down before him in front of everyone, even the most resentful Lieyang Douluo couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

However, this relief was not enough for Lieyang Douluo to forgive Tang Hao.

"You...you think kneeling will make up for your mistakes?"

"I hate it," said the Blazing Sun Douluo.

Tang Hao remained silent, knelt on the ground, and without saying a word, kowtowed three times.

This impact even moved Ning Fengzhi, who was standing behind him.

A man's knees are worth gold, yet Tang Hao, a titled Douluo, was able to set aside his pride and disregard his image. This extraordinary courage truly shocked Tang Hao.

In the same situation, very few people could probably do what Tang Hao did.

Ning Fengzhi had no idea that Tang Hao's actions weren't due to his strong willpower, but rather because Meng Bei had already given him orders, and his current behavior was entirely in accordance with Meng Bei's commands.

At this moment, Tang Hao's forehead was covered in dust, and his eyes were glistening with tears.

"Seventh Uncle, Tang Hao is guilty. I'm sorry for what happened back then!"

Seeing this, Lieyang Douluo's words softened slightly.

"What...what are you doing? Get up! Stop making a fool of yourself!"

Tang Hao did not get up, but remained kneeling on the ground, and said:

"Seventh Uncle, Tang Hao knows his sins are grave and has no words to face the sect. Only two soul bones remain within him, bestowed upon him by his father. As a sinner, Tang Hao dares not keep these soul bones for himself. Therefore, he begs Seventh Uncle to remove the soul bones and bring them back to the sect on his behalf!"

As he spoke, Tang Hao took out a short knife, held it high, and presented it to the Seventh Elder, Lieyang Douluo.

"This...this!"

The Blazing Sun Douluo stared at this scene in utter astonishment.

Before he came, he had thought about why Tang Hao wanted to see him.

It's possible that Tang Hao wanted to apologize to him.

It's also possible that Tang Hao encountered trouble outside and wanted him to return to the sect.

It's even possible that Tang Hao overheard his dissatisfaction with him and wanted to retaliate.

But what I never expected was that Tang Hao wanted to hand over the soul bone inside his body.

It's important to understand that soul bones aren't something you can just take off easily. Tang Hao has two soul bones in his body, one is a leg bone and the other is an arm bone. To take out these two soul bones, you would have to break his arm and leg.

If Tang Hao lost an arm and a leg, he would be practically a cripple!

Lieyang Douluo hesitated for a moment before accepting the short sword handed to him by Tang Hao. Sweat was already beading on his forehead as he took the sword.

He held the knife, looking at Tang Hao kneeling below, but couldn't bring himself to strike.

"Are you really going to return the soul bone?"

"Is this a confirmation from Lieyang Douluo?"

Tang Hao nodded firmly.

"Seventh Uncle, please do it. Tang Hao has no other request but to use these two soul bones to atone for some of the sins I have committed against the sect!"

After saying that, Tang Hao closed his eyes and let the Blazing Sun Douluo do as he pleased without any resistance.

At this moment, Lieyang Douluo was deeply moved.

Looking at Tang Hao, who was at his mercy, the resentment in Lieyang Douluo's heart towards Tang Hao suddenly lessened considerably.

He couldn't help but think that if Tang Hao could do that, then after taking the soul bone, he could bring Tang Hao back to the sect and call on everyone to forgive Tang Hao's crimes.

The palms of the Blazing Sun Douluo holding the short sword were slightly sweaty as the blade slowly sliced ​​towards Tang Hao's arm.

Behind him, Meng Bei tapped his fingers, feeling somewhat anxious.

They should be here by now, why aren't they here yet?

It was clear that the Fiery Sun Douluo on the field was about to make his move.

Meng Bei had no choice but to remain silent and stall for time.

"Your Majesty the Sun, please wait a moment."

Meng Bei stepped forward and stopped the Blazing Sun Douluo who was about to make a move.

Meng Bei introduced himself as follows:

"Your Majesty, I am Meng Bei, a friend of Tang San, the son of Uncle Tang Hao. I wonder if you have heard of me?"

Upon hearing this, Lieyang Douluo temporarily sheathed his short sword, looked at Meng Bei, and said:

"Oh, I know you. You're the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, right? Your reputation has long spread throughout the three upper sects!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Bei knew that Lieyang Douluo was mocking him.

He wasn't a live-in son-in-law, but he had indeed benefited greatly from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's influence along the way, which was why he was described that way.

He kept this matter in mind beforehand, but didn't mention it, and outwardly didn't seem to care about it.

Meng Bei spoke up: "Your Majesty, before you take action, may I ask one question?"

Upon hearing this, Lieyang Douluo nodded slightly and said, "Ask away!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Bei asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, is your enemy Uncle Tang Hao or the Spirit Hall? I heard that the Spirit Hall killed your son, but why don't you dare to confront the Spirit Hall? Instead, you turn your blade against your own people?"

"You dare to be so insolent!"

The Fiery Sun Douluo was instantly enraged, and his powerful aura swept over, intending to overwhelm Meng Bei.

However, Meng Bei stood calmly in front of Lieyang Douluo, without moving an inch.

This composure secretly alarmed Lieyang Douluo.

This kid truly deserves to be the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; his strength is simply unparalleled among his peers.

At this moment, Meng Bei, effortlessly enduring the pressure from the Blazing Sun Douluo, raised his head and asked:

"Your Majesty, the blazing sun, you have not yet answered my question."

Upon seeing this, Lieyang Douluo snorted coldly and said:

"Tang Hao is my enemy, and the Spirit Hall is my enemy even more. Sooner or later, I will destroy the Spirit Hall and avenge my son..."

As Lieyang Douluo was speaking, suddenly, a loud "boom" sounded outside.

What followed was a fierce fight.

A weak, angry roar came from outside.

"Ghost Leopard Douluo, how dare you!"

Immediately following was a sinister laugh.

"Gorlon, accept your fate. Your death is near. Shadow Step, Netherworld Cold Light!"

The Fiery Sun Douluo inside the tavern instantly stood up.
