The Dragon Serpent Family's Predicament

The Dragon Serpent Family not only suffers suppression from the Royal Family family, but is also surrounded by various sects. In recent years, they have lived a life of extreme humiliation.

The Peerless Dragon Serpent Couple, have never been tough people; bullying the weak and fearing the strong is their defining characteristic.

The reason why he did not accept any of the offers from various sects was not only because he was worried that his family would eventually be unable to escape the fate of being assimilated and swallowed up due to a lack of successors.

Most importantly, the offers from those sects did not meet their expectations. Their silence this time suggests they are waiting for a better price.

Only by reaping sufficient benefits can the Dragon Duke and Serpent Dowager feel at ease letting Meng Yiran support the entire family after their passing.

The New Seven Great Sects are all Subordinate to the Spirit Hall. Apart from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the other Six Great Sects have long been in cahoots.

Given the size of the Dragon Serpent Family, it's unlikely that any ordinary sect could recruit them. Apart from the Seven Great Sects, only the Righteous Unity Sect remains.

Dugu Bo himself was not in a hurry to expand the sect's population, and more of the members joined voluntarily. A sect that did not lack powerful combat forces naturally did not need the peerless Peerless Dragon Serpent Couple were half-buried in the ground.

It should be noted that the Righteous Unity Sect already has nearly ten Soul Douluo in their prime.

The only sects capable of winning over the Dragon Serpent Family are the Six Great Sects, led by the Elephant Armor Sect. Knowing Meng Shu's ulterior motives, the six sects offered the same terms of attraction, leaving the Dragon Serpent Family no room for negotiation.

In any case, they weren't in a hurry to win over the other side, and the Dragon Serpent Family would eventually give up and obediently come under their command.

Ten days later, Tang San and Tailong arrived in Suotuo City.

Compared to the nationwide manhunts of the past, portraits are no longer posted at the city gates, and searches of people entering and leaving the city are now much more relaxed.

However, these guards were no pushovers. The portraits of Tang San and his group had been posted at the city gate for a year, and they had never seen portraits displayed for so long. They had already memorized the faces in the portraits.

When Tang San and Tailong entered the city, they were immediately spotted by the keen-eyed guards, but they did not make a fuss.

The Maritime Arrest Warrant are no longer being posted, meaning that even if Tang San is captured, there is likely to be no reward. Furthermore, Tang San and his group are all Soul Master, while these guards who are begging for food are mostly Ordinary Person with good physical abilities.

If a fight really breaks out, they will definitely be the ones who suffer.

However, the guards chose to report the news. Even without a tangible reward, the mere verbal praise would be a great benefit to their future careers.

Within fifteen minutes, the message reached the current king of the Balak Kingdom.

"Oh? I didn't expect that after so many years, those who attempted to assassinate His Majesty would dare to return?"

The Soul Douluo standing guard beside the king made a throat-slitting gesture.

The fact that the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Barak Royal Family experienced Palace Coup at almost the same time was no coincidence, but rather the result of an arrangement by the Spirit Hall.

However, this king was not a stand-in, but a real prince. He had only been unable to inherit the throne due to the primogeniture system, and eventually agreed to become a vassal of the Spirit Hall in order to gain the opportunity to become king.

In terms of political acumen, he was no Dai Mubai; he naturally understood what Tang San's appearance meant.

Who knows, Tang San might have powerful figures from the Clear Sky Sect following him. If he turns against them now, causing casualties among his Soul Douluo, the Dragon Serpent Family will definitely jump out and kick him while he's down.

Therefore, it's best to report this dangerous matter first and see the Spirit Hall's reaction before taking any action.

On a street in Barak City, after making some inquiries, Tang San and Tailong arrived at the Dragon Serpent Family's mansion.

Compared to its former glory, the Dragon Serpent Family has declined significantly.

The mansion gates were tightly shut, and the dried, mottled paint on the gates had peeled off, but no one bothered to clean them.

If the area in front of the door hadn't been swept clean, Tang San would have even suspected that the Dragon Serpent Family had already moved away.

Tang San didn't know which faction the spies around him belonged to, but through his Purple Demon Eyes, he knew that many eyes were watching the Dragon Serpent Family's gate.

If he were to knock on the door rashly at this moment, all the major powers would surely know of his presence.

After thinking it over, he and Tailong decided to leave the area temporarily, rent a room in the city, and prepare to find a suitable opportunity to visit the Peerless Dragon Serpent Couple again.

Without keeping them waiting long, the next morning, Meng Yiran swaggered away from the Dragon Serpent Family and strolled around Barak City.

Tang San knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for contact.

Under his arrangement, Tailong set up a stall by the roadside.

Tang San didn't have anything good to offer, so he pretended to sell Hidden Weapons to attract Meng Yiran's attention.

Unfortunately, the Hidden Weapons and such things didn't appeal to the girls; instead, they attracted a group of curious boys who gathered around the stall.

Seeing that Meng Yiran was about to leave, Tang San relied on his Soul Douluo ability to contact her by Sound Transmission.

"Miss Meng Yiran, I am Tang San. If you would like to sit down and have a chat, please go to the weapon stall on your left."

Meng Yiran had no feelings for Tang San. Her attempt to bring the two together was merely wishful thinking on the part of the Dragon Duke Serpent Dowager.

After the Spirit Master Competition, Shrek Academy was purged, and Tang Hao even interfered, resulting in Tang San being imprisoned in the Sky Prison.

Without Tang Hao, Tang San lost his biggest backer, and the Dragon Duke Serpent Dowager naturally reduced their attention to him, even believing that he would never be able to leave the Spirit Hall's Sky Prison.

As for Tang San's subsequent alliance with the Clear Sky Sect to assassinate Xue Ye in the palace, although it caused a great uproar on the continent, the Dragon Serpent Family was already preoccupied with their own problems and had no time to pay attention to Tang San's affairs.

Now that Tang San has reappeared, Meng Yiran feels somewhat surprised and thinks that Tang San is quite bold.

When Meng Yiran arrived at the stall, she did not see Tang San, but she recognized Tailong because he had competed in the Spirit Master Competition.

Seeing her stall surrounded by a group of kids, she cursed, and the children scattered.

She asked, "Where is he?"

Tailong didn't answer, but instead heard Tang San's telepathic message: "Miss Meng Yiran, I've noticed spies from other forces around the Dragon Serpent Family, so I have no choice but to speak to you in this way."

"Be natural with Tailong. If you want to answer 'yes,' use 'affordable' instead; if you want to answer 'no,' use 'cheaper' instead."

Meng Yiran didn't know what tricks he was up to, but the Dragon Serpent Family was indeed in a precarious situation. Only with the help of external forces could they have a chance to catch their breath.

She answered all of Tang San's questions, as long as they weren't overly sensitive.

Soon, Tang San learned about the Dragon Serpent Family's predicament from her.
