Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 63 Sending Tang Hao Away

"Tang Hao, I've come to see you because there's something I'd like you to do for me!"

Xiao Yu spoke calmly, revealing his purpose to Tang Hao: "There's a ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent on Hell Road in the City of Slaughter. Go and retrieve its inner core for me!"

Retrieving the inner core was just a pretext. Xiao Yu's main purpose was to get rid of Tang Hao so that he could retrieve the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor and give it to Ye Lingling to improve her cultivation aptitude.

After all, if Tang Hao were to wander outside, and one day he missed his wife and came back to visit, he might run into Xiao Yu, who was searching for the soul bone. That would be a huge problem. Since Tang Hao coveted his wife's soul bone, he would definitely fight them to the death. Therefore, they had to find a way to trap Tang Hao in one place and prevent him from returning to Holy Soul Village for several months.

The Killing City is the best choice.

It was a completely enclosed place; even if Tang Hao was already a god of death, he wouldn't be able to leave in less than three to five months. This time would be enough for Xiao Yu to find and seize the soul bone and then clean up the mess.

As for the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, that was purely incidental. Anyway, it was about intercepting Tang San's opportunity, and it was even done by his own father. Just thinking about it is exciting.

Moreover, this inner core has excellent effects. In the original work, it was under the influence of this inner core that Ma Hongjun's martial soul completed its final evolution, becoming a nine-headed phoenix and obtaining the Phoenix Domain.

Since Ma Hongjun can do it, it must also provide an unexpected boost to Yi Hui, who also has a phoenix martial soul. If Cang Mo and Huo Wu, whose martial souls have fire attributes, use it, it will probably also have a miraculous effect.

Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpents!

It's that giant serpent on the road to hell!

When Tang Hao first ventured into Hell Road, he was only a Soul Emperor and nearly perished at the hands of the giant serpent, barely managing to dodge its attacks and barely making it through. However, now that he is a Title Douluo and possesses the Killing God Domain, allowing him to use Soul Skills in Hell Road, he is confident he can kill the serpent.

However, Tang Hao was an extremely arrogant person, and Xiao Yu's commanding tone made him very unhappy: "Why should I help you?"

"Tang Hao, you have no choice!"

Xiao Yu's tone was icy. To him, Tang San and Tang Hao were destined to be his enemies, and he had no reason to be polite to them: "If you don't go, then I'll have to force myself to be interested in your son and that little rabbit!"

"You dare!"

Tang Hao coughed violently due to his excitement.

"What wouldn't I dare to do!"

Xiao Yu sneered, "Even if I don't need that rabbit's spirit ring and spirit bone, I can still sell this information to others for a good price, such as the Spirit Hall. I'm sure His Holiness the Pope with twin spirit souls would be very interested!"

"you..."

Being pressured by a junior who was more than 30 years younger than him, Tang Hao was so angry that his face turned as red as a pig's liver.

"So, Tang Hao, don't even think about bargaining. Complete the task I've given you, and your son and that rabbit will be safe!"

Ignoring Tang Hao's murderous glare, Xiao Yu continued, "A twelve-year-old with a level twenty-nine useless martial soul, Blue Silver Grass? Tang Hao, your son must have twin martial souls, right? He's your only hope for revenge! If anything happens to him, with your crippled body, do you still have any hope of revenge?"

"Okay, I promise!"

With his weakness exposed, Tang Hao had no choice but to back down. But he secretly vowed that he would tear this despicable brat to pieces and grind his bones to dust in the future to avenge today's humiliation.

Xiao Yu was well aware of Tang Hao's thoughts at this moment, but he was too lazy to care. Anyway, he would definitely kill Tang Hao in the future. The reason why he hadn't killed him now was because Xiao Yu had his own considerations.

First, there's that Asura God. Xiao Yu remembers seeing two different versions of the Asura God in his previous life.

The first and most common theory is that everything from the moment Tang San transmigrated into Douluo Continent was orchestrated by the God of Asura. He even dragged the God of the Sea into the scheme to pave the way for Tang San. Otherwise, how could the God of the Sea, a first-level god, interfere with the assessment of the Angel God, who is also a first-level god? The God of Asura, as the enforcer of the God Realm and one of the five God Kings, is the most suspicious.

The second theory is that the God of Asura only started paying attention to Tang San after Tang San passed through the Hell Road. This was because Tang San destroyed the Slaughter City, making it impossible for anyone else to enter the assessment. At that time, the God of Asura was eager to get rid of the tedious work of the God Realm enforcers so that he could travel to the mortal world. Therefore, he could only choose a successor to the Godhood from the existing Gods of Slaughter.

Among these people, Tang Chen was parasitized by the Nine-Headed Bat, Bibi Dong had already undergone the test of the Rakshasa God, Tang Hao had cut off one of his legs and one arm and his soul power was stuck at level 79 without any progress, and Hu Liena was just a supporting character. If it weren't for Tang San's help, it would be a question whether she could have gotten out of Hell Road.

After much deliberation, the God of Asura had only Tang San left as an option, and it was from that time that the God of Asura began to support Tang San.

If the second explanation is true, then Xiao Yu could intercept Tang San's biggest backer by entering the City of Slaughter first and obtaining the God of Slaughter Domain.

However, Xiao Yu was a cautious person. This interception was too risky. What if it was all a scheme by the God of Slaughter? Obtaining the God of Slaughter Domain would be equivalent to placing himself completely under the God of Slaughter's control. If he found that his chosen successor, Tang San, was no match for him, he might secretly use methods such as injecting the power of the God of Slaughter into Xiao Yu's body through the God of Slaughter Domain and causing him to burst. Then Xiao Yu would have nowhere to cry.

Another reason for not dealing with Tang Hao now is the Clear Sky Sect. Although the elders all hate Tang Hao for killing Qian Xunji and implicating the sect, blood is thicker than water. No matter what, Tang Hao is their nephew, the younger brother of the current sect leader Tang Xiao, and the grandson of Tang Chen, the peerless Douluo who created the Clear Sky myth. If he really dies at Xiao Yu's hands, given the character of the Clear Sky Sect members, even if they don't come to his door, they will secretly sabotage Xiao Yu.

Now that the Nine Star Palace has just caught the fast train of rapid development, it cannot be allowed to be affected by the Haotian Sect.

Furthermore, Xiao Yu had an immature idea about the Clear Sky Sect. In the original story, although the Clear Sky Sect was forced to close its gates due to pressure from the Spirit Hall, and the various forces that had originally relied on the Clear Sky Sect quietly dispersed, the sect suffered a great loss of strength. However, during the more than ten years that the Clear Sky Sect was in seclusion, it had been developing diligently. Apart from the sect leader Tang Xiao, all six elders had advanced to the title of Title Douluo, and even without Tang Hao, the sect possessed the terrifying strength of seven Douluo.

Following the two major plot developments of Operation Soul Hunt and the Battle of Jialing Pass, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was wiped out, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School suffered heavy losses, and the Sword Bone Two Douluo perished. Excluding the treacherous Ning Rongrong and Oscar couple, their high-level combat power was almost entirely wiped out. Meanwhile, the Clear Sky School, which appeared last and suffered the least losses, was the undisputed ultimate winner.

With his God-like perspective, Xiao Yu certainly couldn't let such a powerful force hide in the shadows and reap the rewards. So, he tried to use Tang Hao and his three sons as bait to open a breach and drag the entire Clear Sky Sect into the quagmire of power struggles. Ideally, he would set them up as a benchmark and make them a target for the Spirit Hall.

Wishing everyone good health and all the best in the new year!
