Poseidon's arrangements
Tang San's anger was completely ignited. He cursed a few times and turned his anger towards the group of traitors within the Dragon Serpent Family.
Without these traitors leaking information, how could he be in such a passive position? Without definite information, how could the Spirit Hall have made targeted deployments?
It's too late to say anything now. The Peerless Dragon Serpent Couple are dead. Not only has this plan to win them over completely failed, but they've also lost Tailong, their lackey.
Moreover, the strength Chen Ping displayed was suffocating to him.
If even a peripheral character in the Seven Treasures Team possesses such formidable strength, just how powerful must Wu Qi, Feng Xiaotian, and Qiangu Changkong be?
Seeing Tang San sink into deep self-doubt, Tang Xiao sighed and gently patted his shoulder, "Little San, your mind is in turmoil, calm down first."
"Furthermore, every Soul Master's Fortuitous Opportunity are different. Admittedly, Chen Ping was unremarkable during the Spirit Master Competition, but that doesn't mean he didn't receive other Fortuitous Opportunity in the years that followed."
" In the Spirit Master world, some are promising in their youth but die young; others waste half their lives but soar to great heights in their later years. There are countless examples of this, and Chen Ping is very likely the latter."
"His rapid breakthrough in strength was due to luck, but that doesn't mean others will have such good fortune."
"Therefore, your concerns are completely unfounded. It's even possible that Chen Ping is deliberately misleading you to disrupt your cultivation mindset and create opportunities for others to surpass you."
Upon hearing this, Tang San felt that there was some truth to it.
During their exchange, he didn't see the Divine Trial Mark on Chen Ping's forehead. At first, he thought Chen Ping had hidden it. Now, thinking about it, that might not be the case.
After Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing completed the assessment, the marks on their foreheads disappeared. It seems that Chen Ping did not receive the Nine God Trials, but most likely the Black Grade assessment.
Therefore, there is nothing to fear.
Referring to the rewards given to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing during their assessments, Tang San knew that Black Grade assessments would offer rewards based on Soul Power Level. Chen Ping's current strength was most likely due to the generosity of the Deity behind him, who bestowed upon him even greater rewards.
With this thought in mind, Tang San clenched his fist.
He lost to Chen Ping not because of his Talent, but because of the limitations of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Once he cultivates the Clear Sky Hammer, his opponent, a Defense-Type Spirit Master, will only be his punching bag.
This failed attempt to win them over has prevented the Tang Sect from expanding, allowing Tang San to focus more on his cultivation and concentrate on his training.
Seeing that Tang San had calmed down, Tang Xiao sighed and said, "The reason this attempt to win him over failed was largely due to problems with our secrecy, which exposed the Tang Sect to the Spirit Hall's surveillance."
"In the future, it won't be so easy to win over other families. Little San, in my opinion, it would be better to temporarily merge the Tang Sect and the Clear Sky Sect. With the number of disciples in the Clear Sky Sect, the production capacity of Hidden Weapons will definitely explode in a short time."
Tang San did not express his opinion.
The Tang Sect was his root from his past life. If it were so easily swallowed up by the Clear Sky Sect, wouldn't the Tang Sect Clear Sky Sect in the future?
If he could become the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, then this matter would be worth considering.
But becoming the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect is no easy feat.
If he were in Tang Xiao's position, constantly hampered by the Elder, what would be the point of the Sect Master's position as a mere mascot?
Tang San chuckled and changed the subject, "By the way, Elder Uncle, what brings you here?"
Tang Xiao sighed and said, "I hadn't planned to come. But there were problems with the border war, and rumors were circulating that the Balak Kingdom's army would join the battle, so I scouted all the way from the border into the Balak Kingdom's territory."
"I was originally planning to offer you some help, but who would have thought it would turn out like this."
The army of the Balak Kingdom is the strongest army in the Heaven Dou Empire. If they join the war, the Star Luo Empire's army will suffer heavy casualties without being equipped with Hidden Weapons.
Tang Xiao didn't know the source of the news; he had only heard about it by chance and happened to decide to come out and investigate.
Tang San raised an eyebrow, then suddenly realized something. "Elder Uncle, this must be the work of Sea God."
"The Sea God knew I would be in danger, which is why he secretly guided you to the Balak Kingdom."
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm.
Poseidon of the Sea God, was indeed Confinement, but he did have Successor.
According to the rules of the Divine Realm, the Divine Throne Inheritance is of paramount importance. Under the mediation of the Asura God, Poseidon was temporarily released for two hours to arrange the subsequent succession work.
Coincidentally, when his gaze fell upon the Douluo Continent, he noticed Rakshasa God. After learning about Bibi Dong's plan from the latter, he secretly guided Tang Xiao.
However, to his surprise, when he turned his gaze to the Douluo Continent, he did not find the Sea God's Heart.
Knowing that the Spirit Hall was at odds with him, he inquired about the situation from the Rakshasa God.
Among the First-Level God, the Sea God is the most powerful being, while the Rakshasa God's strength is only slightly below average. Faced with his tyrannical power, the Rakshasa God naturally dared not hide his strength.
Unfortunately, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was not taken by the Rakshasa God, and she did not know its whereabouts.
Left with no other option, the Sea God had to arrange Tang San's assessment while simultaneously informing Bo Saixi of Sea God Island of the information, allowing the Sea God Island Soul Master to come ashore and investigate the truth behind the Sea God's Heart.
However, Poseidon did not come away empty-handed from the words of the Rakshasa God. At least he learned that the Sea God's Heart was called "Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud" on the Douluo Continent and had appeared in the treasury of the Heaven Dou Royal Family.
Two hours in the Divine Realm are very short. After arranging Tang San's subsequent assessment, the time was up.
Before he could have a direct conversation with Tang San, Poseidon returned to the Confinement room.
However, he had already arranged everything that needed to be done, and he expected to have a result by the time his Confinement ended in a few days. Perhaps, when he came out, Tang San would be just in time to take his Ninth Trial.
Most importantly, during those two hours, he secretly added something to the legacy of a fallen Deity. In this way, this Deity would at least not become a stumbling block on Tang San's path to godhood.
Three days after Chen Ping returned to Spirit City to report back.
The Spirit Hall, together with the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Barak Royal Family, issued a joint statement to the entire continent.
The statement indicated that the Tang Sect, in alliance with the Dragon Serpent Family, attempted to overthrow the Balak Kingdom regime. Through a joint operation involving the Spirit Hall and the Barak Royal Family, the enemy's evil plan was thwarted, protecting the stability of the Balak Kingdom.
In the statement, several traitors from the Dragon Serpent Family testified that Tang San had come to the Dragon Serpent Family and persuaded their Clan Head to agree to the Tang Sect's plan.
Therefore, the Heaven Dou Empire turned its attention to the Tang Sect.
As for the Dragon Serpent Family, the Spirit Hall's statement only indicated that the main participants were captured or killed. Those clan members who were passively involved in the incident were resettled by the Spirit Hall to prevent retaliation.
