Inside a luxurious manor in the Heaven Dou Imperial Capital.
A Spatial Tunnel suddenly appeared, and a man and woman stepped out.
The people stationed within the manor immediately dropped to one knee upon seeing them and respectfully said, "Greetings, Hall Master, Madam!"
Huang Tian gave a slight nod and said, "Rise. Prepare a carriage for me. We're going to Moonlight Pavilion for tonight's performance."
"Yes, I'll bring the carriage at once," said a level ninety-three Title Douluo respectfully.
"Mm, go."
Huang Tian waved his hand and waited where he stood with Liu Erlong.
Two minutes later, a luxurious carriage drawn by two thousand-year-old Dragon Horses came to a steady stop before Huang Tian and Liu Erlong.
A Soul Douluo standing nearby waved his hand and condensed nine golden steps, laying them out all the way to the pair. He bowed respectfully and said, "Hall Master, Madam, please board the carriage!"
"Mm."
Huang Tian and Liu Erlong ascended the Soul Power-condensed steps, one step at a time.
Inside the carriage, the Title Douluo who had taken the initiative to serve as the driver had already lifted the curtain. After the two entered, the curtain was lowered.
Once they were seated, the two Soul Power-condensed whips in the driver's hands lightly struck the two Dragon Horses. Stung by the pain, the Dragon Horses started forward and pulled the carriage out of the manor.
Though these two Dragon Horses were already a thousand years old, they obediently pulled the carriage after being trained by powerful human Soul Masters. Their speed changed according to the force of the driver's lashes, and they did not dare act recklessly in the slightest. If they provoked a powerful Soul Master, they would only lose their lives for nothing.
Behind the carriage, two two-hundred-man Guard Teams, each composed of Soul Douluo-level experts of at least level eighty-five, followed on foot, carrying out their protective duties.
Twenty minutes later, in the square before Moonlight Pavilion.
Under the driver's control, Huang Tian and Liu Erlong's carriage came to a smooth stop.
"My lord, Madam, we have arrived at Moonlight Pavilion."
The driver lowered his head and spoke respectfully.
Huang Tian rose, lifted the curtain, and stepped out, with Liu Erlong following close behind.
The driver hurriedly used his Soul Power to condense nine golden steps from the carriage down to the ground.
Huang Tian and Liu Erlong stepped down in succession and saw a young woman standing there with elegant poise, smiling at them.
At first glance, she appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, yet her eyes seemed to see through everything in the world, something no woman of that age could compare to.
The silver palace gown fit her perfectly. In terms of temperament alone, perhaps only Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall, could stand on equal footing with her.
The difference was that she lacked Bibi Dong's oppressive aura, but her nobility was no less remarkable.
Moreover, there was not the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power around this woman. Clearly, she was not a Soul Master.
She was Tang Yuehua, the master of Moonlight Pavilion, a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect and the possessor of the mutated martial soul, the Ruyi Ring.
Tang Yuehua covered her mouth with her right hand, smiled, and nodded. "Husband, Sister Erlong, you're here."
Upon hearing the master of Moonlight Pavilion, the people in the square stared at Huang Tian and Liu Erlong in shock. Had they heard correctly? The master of Moonlight Pavilion was already married? This man had actually won her heart? It was truly unbelievable!
Huang Tian smiled and nodded. "Yuehua, how could I possibly miss a performance hosted by you? Erlong was urging me just now, afraid she'd miss that heavenly music."
"Everyone, look! Tang Xiao and Tang Hao have ranked fifteenth and fourteenth on the Peerless Prodigy Ranking as a level ninety-five Title Douluo and a level ninety-nine Peerless Title Douluo, respectively!"
"Fifteenth place receives an increase of ninety thousand years to the age of any Soul Ring, while fourteenth place receives an increase of one hundred thousand years to the age of any Soul Ring. Their strength will grow even greater."
"These two were the famous Haotian Twin Stars of the continent eighteen years ago. I never expected Tang Hao to disappear after fighting the former Pope of Spirit Hall fifteen years ago. Who would have thought that he had already broken through to level ninety-nine? Do you think he'll go to Spirit Hall for revenge?"
"The Clear Sky Sect has been in seclusion for fifteen years. Even if Tang Hao wants revenge, he's only one man. I'm afraid he won't be able to stir up much trouble."
"Pah, what do you know? He's a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, and he possesses the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one tool martial soul in the world. His combat strength is no trivial matter. Even if Spirit Hall sends countless Title Douluo to besiege him, they'll die if Tang Hao hits them."
Tang Yuehua's tranquil composure instantly shattered, and panic overtook her. Information about her second brother, Tang Hao, who had been missing for fifteen years, had been laid bare before the entire world. Though he was now a level ninety-nine Peerless Title Douluo, Tang Yuehua still feared that he would lose his temper and storm Spirit Hall to avenge her second sister-in-law.
Seeing her like this, Huang Tian approached with heartache and pulled her into his arms. He patted her back with his right hand and said softly, "All right, don't panic. Your second brother's temper has changed a great deal. He won't act rashly. Besides, without my orders, he cannot possibly go to Spirit Hall for revenge."
Tang Yuehua was deeply shocked by Huang Tian's words. She had never expected her second brother to be her husband's subordinate. That was a level ninety-nine Peerless Title Douluo, yet he was actually so obedient. Sister Erlong was also a level ninety-six Title Douluo, but she had never dared lose her temper with her husband either. Otherwise, when he married her, Sister Erlong would likely have refused long ago. It seemed her husband's strength or influence was absolutely beyond anything one could predict.
Tang Yuehua broke free from Huang Tian's embrace, straightened her clothes, and said softly, "Husband, Sister Erlong, let's go up."
Huang Tian pointed at the ranking in the sky and said, "Yuehua, don't rush. Look at what it says above."
Tang Yuehua followed his finger and looked to the sky. Written on the ranking was: "Tenth place: Tang Chen, level ninety-nine Demigod Title Douluo. Reward: increase the age of any Soul Ring by two hundred thousand years."
Tang Yuehua said in disbelief, "Tang Chen... isn't that Grandfather's name? He's still alive? But he disappeared decades ago. Even Father told us that he might already be dead."
Huang Tian shook his head. "He isn't dead. He has been alive and well all this time; only his mind was lost. This reward from the Heavenly Dao should allow him to recover sooner."
Tang Yuehua asked doubtfully, "Husband, why do I always feel that you know so much about everything happening in the world?"
Huang Tian smiled. "Yuehua, all you need to know is that I have informants throughout the world. I know many things others know, and I also know many things others don't. For example, the person named Tang San, born to your second brother and second sister-in-law, is currently studying at Shrek Academy. He ranks thirty-fifth on the Peerless Prodigy Ranking."
Tang Yuehua continued, "So that Tang San is my nephew. But his father and eldest uncle rank fourteenth and fifteenth, so why is he only ranked thirty-fifth?"
Huang Tian leaned close to Tang Yuehua's ear and whispered, "That's because he has Twin Martial Souls. One is the Clear Sky Hammer, and the other is Blue Silver Grass. The martial souls conflict with each other, limiting his current talent. But his character is steadfast, and he refuses to admit defeat. In the future, his name will also resound across this continent."
Seeing the two whispering together, Liu Erlong shook her head and said, "Husband, little sister Yuehua, let's enter early. There are too many people here, and too many watchful eyes. We shouldn't let any unpleasant rumors spread."
At Shrek Academy, Tang San saw Tang Hao, who shared his father's name, enter the rankings. Another person who seemed to be Tang Hao's brother was ranked right behind him, leaving Tang San deeply puzzled. He had a feeling that the Tang Hao on the ranking was his drunkard father. Yet his father had been gone for more than seven years, and there had been no news of him to this day. He did not know how his father was doing. As for this Tang Xiao, he was very likely Tang San's uncle. Other people had relatives and friends from childhood onward; he should have them too. Why had Father taken him into seclusion in Holy Spirit Village all those years ago? Was he hiding from enemies, or did he have an agreement with someone? Every answer only led to another mystery, waiting for the day Tang San could uncover them himself.
