Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 252 Boss Dai Demoted to Mu Bai

Star City.

"Your Highness, I'll feed you!"

"Very well, my beauty, how about we enjoy this sweet wine together?"

In the residence of the Third Prince Dai Mubai, various decadent and unpleasant sounds constantly emanated.

After Zhu Zhuqing left in disappointment, Dai Mubai briefly reflected on his actions and diligently cultivated his soul power for a few days. However, he soon relapsed due to various temptations.

After that, the Clear Sky Sect closed its mountain again due to the warning from the Spirit Hall, which undoubtedly dealt another heavy blow to Dai Mubai. Although the Star Luo Emperor did not cripple him and exile him to a remote town as a loser in the succession to the throne because of the Clear Sky Sect, it was clear that he no longer had high hopes for him.

Having lost his backer, Dai Mubai quickly reverted to his self-destructive ways, just as he had when he appeared in Soto City. He completely indulged in wine and women, gradually draining his body and causing his soul power cultivation to slow down to an extreme. Nearly four years had passed, and Tang San, whose soul power was two levels lower than his, had already broken through to Soul King in the Soul Master Competition. Yet, he was still hovering on the edge of Advanced Soul Master, wasting his innate level nine talent.

"You've fallen so low, Mu Bai, you're truly disappointing!"

Just as Dai Mubai and his maid were sharing drinks, a loud shout suddenly rang out like a thunderclap. Then, without warning, the tightly closed door opened, and a figure hurriedly walked in.

This was a young man no more than twenty years old. He had long, dark blue hair, an extremely handsome face, and was over 1.9 meters tall. He had broad shoulders and a very well-proportioned figure. However, his sapphire-like eyes were now filled with disappointment.

The visitor was none other than Tang San. After leaving the City of Slaughter, he and Tang Xiao immediately returned to their sect, presented the Haotian Token that Xiao Yu had given to Tang Xiao, and announced the sect's resurgence, Tang San's return to the sect, and the selection of Tang San as the next sect leader, among other important matters.

No one dared to question the legendary figure of the Haotian Sect. Tang Xiao also possessed the Haotian Token as proof. The Haotian Token was a symbol of Tang Chen's identity. Unless Tang Chen died, this Haotian Token could not possibly fall into the hands of someone else.

In the eyes of the Haotian Sect disciples, Tang Chen was the epitome of invincibility. No one believed that anyone could kill Tang Chen, so what Tang Xiao said must have been Tang Chen's intention. Therefore, even the elders who had previously opposed him the most vehemently chose to acquiesce.

Now that Tang San is the young sect leader of the Haotian Sect, he has surpassed Dai Mubai in status, so the title has changed from "Dai the Elder" to "Mubai".

"Who are you?"

Dai Mubai narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his evil gaze, and stared at Tang San in front of him, asking coldly.

He had never seen Tang San after he awakened the Blue Silver Emperor, and only regarded him as a member of the royal family who came to preach.

Tang San knew his appearance had drastically changed, so without saying a word, he directly released his two martial souls, the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer: "Now, do you know who I am?"

"You're the mistress, you're the mistress!"

Dai Mubai abruptly stood up, shoved aside the maid still clinging to him, and strode up to Tang San. His eyes widened as if they were about to pop out, scrutinizing Tang San from head to toe, but he couldn't find a trace of the old Tang San. He couldn't help but ask, "Little San, what has happened to you these past few years? How have you changed so much?"

Tang San didn't speak, but instead focused his gaze on the maids behind Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai understood and immediately waved his hand, shouting at the maids, "All of you, leave! This prince has distinguished guests arriving, and no one is allowed to disturb them!"

After the maids withdrew, Tang San recounted everything that had happened since the end of the Soul Master Competition: his father's tragic death, his mother's identity, his martial soul awakening into the Blue Silver Emperor, his encounter with his supposed great-grandfather Tang Chen in the City of Slaughter, and the imminent resurgence of the Clear Sky Sect, among other things.

"I see!"

Dai Mubai suddenly realized, "So, Xiao San, your Clear Sky Sect is planning to openly fight the Spirit Hall and the Nine Star Hall this time!"

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Tang San's handsome face instantly blazed with murderous intent: "The hatred for the murderer of my parents is irreconcilable! I, Tang San, swear I will not be human if I do not avenge this!"

"Little San, with your current achievements, Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang would be very gratified if they knew in the afterlife."

Dai Mubai patted Tang San on the shoulder and said, "If there's anything I can do to help, just ask, and I'll do my best!"

"Mu Bai, with your intelligence, can't you guess what can help me?"

Tang San looked directly at Dai Mubai and said in a tone of utter regret, "Would the Dean and teachers be pleased with what you've done? And Zhu Qing, why did she leave? Don't you really care at all?"

"I"

Dai Mubai was speechless for a moment.

"Mu Bai, we've been brothers for years. I know some of what I'm about to say is hard to hear, but it's precisely because we're brothers that I have to say it!"

Tang Shenwang appeared righteous and awe-inspiring, which might have been partly due to brotherly affection, but more so because he hoped to support Dai Mubai to become the emperor of Xingluo, so that Haotian Sect could gain a higher status from Xingluo Empire, and even turn Xingluo Empire into a vassal of Haotian Sect.

Now that he is the young sect leader of the Haotian Sect, he naturally prioritizes the interests of the Haotian Sect in his actions.

"Mistress, I know what you're trying to say."

Dai Mubai sighed. He was already tired of this kind of lecturing. If it were someone else, like Zhu Zhuqing, he would have cursed them out long ago.

However, Tang San's status is now completely different. He is the young sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, and behind him is a peerless Douluo at level 99, or even a god-level great-grandfather who is about to break through to level 100. This is not something he can afford to offend.

Moreover, upon learning that the Haotian Sect possessed such a powerful expert, Dai Mubai's previously dead heart began to rekindle.

"Xiao San, it's not that I don't want to work hard, but I'm really desperate. Ever since your Haotian Sect was forced to leave by the Spirit Hall, the power I painstakingly built up collapsed overnight. Zhu Qing also left because she was disappointed in me. How can I alone fight against the combined forces of my brother and Zhu Qing's sister?"

Do you really think I don't know? Before you left Haotian Sect, you were already indulging in wine and women. It was around that time that you drove Zhu Zhuqing away!

Hearing Dai Mubai's explanation, Tang San almost couldn't help but spit in his face.

However, considering that Dai Mubai was still useful to him, and it wasn't the time to completely break ties, he pretended to know nothing: "Mubai, this isn't like you at all. The Mubai I know would never give up because of a small difficulty. Have you forgotten that back in the Soul Master Competition, facing a powerful enemy like the Spirit Hall, we never thought of admitting defeat? Even if we lost, we had no regrets!"
