Tang Hao Comes Knocking

Beneath a sky full of stars, a carriage moved steadily toward the Border Town at an unhurried pace.

Inside the carriage sat two men and a woman.

The two men bore similar features and appeared to be brothers.

Both were rather rugged-looking. One carried a trace of gloom beneath his masculine appearance, while the other looked somewhat honest and good-natured.

The woman sharing the carriage with them looked entirely different from the two men.

Judging by appearances alone, no one would have taken the three for biological siblings.

Yet their conversation clearly showed that they truly were brother and sister.

"Brother Hao, once we return this time, you should be able to receive Grandfather's inheritance and cultivate Grandfather's Haotian Nine Absolutes, right?"

The woman looked at the man before her. Within her gentle, watery eyes hid a faint and unspoken emotion.

"Yes, that's right. I'm already level sixty-eight. Once I cultivate Grandfather's Haotian Nine Absolutes and obtain my seventh Soul Ring, I'll be able to reenter the continent and challenge those long-famous experts."

The other man spoke as well. "That's right. With Brother Hao's strength, no one among the younger generation can compare to you anymore."

These three were the Haotian Twin Stars, who had been traveling abroad and were now preparing to return to their sect, along with their younger sister, Tang Yuehua.

Listening to their flattery, Tang Hao's face was full of pride.

What Upper Three Sects, what Spirit Hall—among this generation, who could possibly contend with him, Tang Hao? They were all nothing but chickens and dogs.

Ever since he had made his name, he had yet to encounter an equal.

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was merely an auxiliary Soul Master who would never break through level eighty.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support abilities were decent, they were only decent. For his entire life, Ning Fengzhi would struggle even to glimpse Tang Hao's back.

Yu Xiaogang, the son of the current Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, possessed a pig martial soul and Innate Soul Power of half a level. He was not worth mentioning.

As for Spirit Hall, he had heard that they had a Saintess with Innate Full Soul Power.

But she was merely a woman, and younger than him at that. What qualifications did she have to compete with him?

He was destined to dominate an era, just like his grandfather.

As his emotions surged, Tang Hao caught sight of his younger sister's slightly dejected expression and casually comforted her.

"Little sister Yuehua, don't worry. Although we didn't find a way to restore your martial soul this time, Grandfather is incredibly powerful. Perhaps he has found a solution."

That casual word of comfort immediately moved Tang Yuehua. Her heart stirred once more, only for intense shame to rise within her at once.

Amid her turbulent emotions, she unconsciously ignored even her eldest brother Tang Xiao's consolation.

Neither Tang Hao nor Tang Xiao noticed what their younger sister was thinking.

The carriage steadily entered the town and finally stopped outside the inn where Wu Xian and the others were staying.

The next morning, Wu Xian woke early and was preparing to head into town with Ah Yin to gather some information.

As soon as they reached the ground floor, they saw two men and a woman wearing Clear Sky Sect robes, seated in the hall and eating.

The instant he saw the three, Wu Xian immediately recognized the young Tang Hao among them.

It could not be helped. He held grudges. The worn-down version of Tang Hao had not only threatened him, but had also struck him with a hammer.

That was a life-and-death grudge. Naturally, he had firmly engraved Tang Hao's appearance in his mind.

Wearing Clear Sky Sect robes and looking eighty percent like the worn-down Tang Hao—if he was not the young Tang Hao, then who was he?

Following Wu Xian's gaze, Ah Yin also spotted Tang Hao and the other two, though she did not recognize Tang Hao at first.

Seeing Wu Xian standing motionlessly, then looking at Tang Hao's somewhat familiar face, she formed a few guesses and was about to ask in the Group Chat.

Then she saw the message Wu Xian had just sent.

[Wu Xian: @Everyone, spotted a wild Tang Hao. Anyone who wants to beat him up, come quickly. If you're late, he'll be gone.]

At the same time Wu Xian and Ah Yin saw Tang Hao's group, the three of them naturally saw Wu Xian and Ah Yin as well.

The moment Tang Hao and Tang Xiao saw Ah Yin, they were both stunned by her beauty.

When they saw Ah Yin looking toward them, her blue eyes captivated them for a moment.

Tang Hao stood and walked toward Ah Yin.

At the same time, Wu Xian's message drew everyone in the Chat Group out.

[Bibi Dong: Hold off for now. Let me test my new soul skill first.]

[Little Angel: Wait for me. I'll be there soon.]

[Liu Erlong: I'm coming!]

[Ah Rou: Coming right away.]

Elsewhere, the Ghost and Chrysanthemum Executors were staring deeply at the Clear Sky Sect's Guardian, a hammer-wielding Soul Douluo, from a rooftop.

After exchanging identities, both sides chose to keep an eye on each other and let the juniors resolve things themselves.

Tang Hao came before the two of them and performed a noble's salute, speaking in a proud tone.

"Miss, I am Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect. May I ask for Lady's Name?"

In his view, with the Clear Sky Sect's reputation—

And with the formidable name Tang Hao had built across the continent these past few days, he was certain he could win the favor of the woman before him.

"No." After confirming that the person before her truly was Tang Hao, and after learning of the fine things he had done, Ah Yin's impression of him immediately fell to its lowest point.

Tang Hao's expression stiffened, but he quickly adjusted himself.

"May I ask how I have offended Miss? Please tell me plainly."

The Clear Sky Sect was one of the Upper Three Sects, and he had learned all this Daily Etiquette.

Though he had not studied it seriously and usually never bothered to reason with anyone, preferring to let strength do the talking.

But in order to win the beauty's attention, he tried his best to put on a refined and courteous manner, hoping to leave Ah Yin with a good impression.

Yet Ah Yin had long since seen through his True Face, not to mention that she had already seen the Glorious Deeds of his older self.

No matter how Tang Hao disguised himself, he could never deceive her again.

Tang Hao's setback displeased Tang Yuehua behind him.

However, Tang Yuehua merely glared angrily at Ah Yin, while her heart was filled with countless conflicting emotions.

"Because you're not worthy of knowing."

Tang Hao's face darkened for a moment, but when he saw that the speaker was Wu Xian, merely a child of around ten.

Arguing with him would only lower his own image.

He smiled as though magnanimous. "This must be Miss's younger brother. How innocent and adorable. I believe I have never done anything bad. May I ask where this little brother's prejudice comes from?"

"He's right. You're not worthy."

The moment those words fell, a Beautiful Figure appeared behind Ah Yin. It was Bibi Dong.

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were both momentarily stunned. Why was there another beauty?

Before they could speak, three more figures emerged.

They were Ah Rou, Liu Erlong, and a woman Wu Xian did not recognize.

However, recalling the message in the Group Chat—

[Little Angel: I'm here.]

Wu Xian understood that she was Qian Renxue, though she had likely changed her appearance using her Angel Soul Bone Set.

Each of the women possessed her own distinct beauty. Standing together, they resembled a hundred flowers competing in bloom.

For a moment, the entire inn seemed to brighten.

Some Guests who had noticed that the atmosphere was wrong and had intended to slip away found themselves unable to move their feet.
