Star Luo
Tang Hao slowly sat down, calming his emotions, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes:
"Unexpectedly... my grandfather spent half his life seeking the Godhood Inheritance, while Brother Fu, at such a young age, has already gained the favor of the God King."
Tang Hao was silent for a moment, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes, before slowly speaking:
"Speaking of which, back when my grandfather was still alive, the Clear Sky Sect was truly at its zenith, being one of only two sects on the continent with a level 99 Peerless Douluo as its leader."
He looked up at the sky outside the window, as if through that blue sky he could see scenes from decades ago:
"I was still young then, and my grandfather favored me greatly."
He said I was straightforward and talented, just like him when he was young.
"He taught me the foundation of the Clear Sky Hammer, how to gather killing intent, and the principles of being a good person."
His voice was low and tinged with reminiscence:
"My grandfather was an upright and incorruptible man who could not tolerate any injustice."
"He often said that the Clear Sky Sect is the Clear Sky Sect that looks down upon the world!"
"He'll be the first to object if anyone dares to do anything dirty within the sect."
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Fu Shiyan, his tone resolute:
"If my grandfather were still alive, the Clear Sky Sect wouldn't have become what it is today."
Fu Shiyan without interrupting.
Tang San stood aside, looking at the longing and complex emotions in his father's eyes, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
After several Simulation, he felt no ill will towards his great-grandfather; he was indeed the upright, fair, and just elder his father described.
Fu Shiyan pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"Brother Tang, you said that Senior Tang Chen left the sect alone decades ago to travel around the Douluo Continent in search of the gods' legacy."
He paused, his gaze slightly narrowed:
"Is it possible that he has been to that Slaughter City?"
Tang Hao was taken aback.
Fu Shiyan continued, "After all, apart from the Sea God Godhood that can be passed down on the Sea God Island far overseas, only the Slaughter City heard of a divine inheritance."
"The Rakshasa God and the Asura God are both intricately connected to the Slaughter City."
Tang Hao's brows furrowed, and a thoughtful glint flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Fu, you mean...?"
Fu Shiyan nodded. "Senior Tang Chen has spent his entire life searching for the Godhood Inheritance."
"As the place where the Rakshasa God and the Asura God passed down their lineage, how could he not go to the Slaughter City if he knew this information?"
"Not to mention Senior Tang Chen, who has already earned the title of God of Slaughter!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's breathing became slightly rapid.
Yes!
My grandfather... he might have actually been to the Slaughter City during that time!
They might even still be there!
The light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter, but then dimmed again:
"But my grandfather has been missing for many years. After he disappeared, I went to the Slaughter City and even earned the title of God of Slaughter, but I never saw a trace of my grandfather."
He paused, his brow furrowed in thought, and said:
"Was Grandfather not in the Slaughter City at that time? Or did he find another place to inherit Godhood?"
Fu Shiyan looked at him, her tone calm yet resolute:
"In any case, it's necessary to go to the Slaughter City again."
"Whether it's for my God Trial, or for my Xiao San to gain experience, not to mention that Senior Tang Chen might be in the Slaughter City."
"Therefore, no matter what, we have no choice but to go to this Slaughter City."
Tang Hao nodded emphatically. "Brother Fu is right. I'll go with you."
Fu Shiyan looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips:
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Tang. However, before heading to the Slaughter City, we need to go to one more place."
Tang Hao was taken aback. "Where?"
"Star Luo Empire. Go pick someone up."
Three days later.
Star Luo Imperial City.
Fu Shiyan, Tang Hao, and Tang San stood outside the city gate, gazing at the magnificent city before them.
Tang Hao was wearing a hood that covered most of his face.
He was, after all, a wanted criminal by the Spirit Hall. Although the Spirit Hall had changed Pope in recent years, it was never wrong to be cautious.
Fu Shiyan made no attempt to conceal herself; her long, silvery-white hair gleamed faintly in the sunlight, and she wore a black robe with a calm expression.
Tang San followed behind him, his long, azure hair swaying gently in the breeze, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Ah Yin didn't come along.
A place Slaughter City isn't suitable for her.
Inside the Star Luo Imperial City, the streets are wide and bustling with people.
The shouts of vendors, the chatter of pedestrians, and the laughter of children mingled together, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
As soon as Fu Shiyan and her two companions entered the city gate, several subtle gazes fell upon them.
Those glances were fleeting, and ordinary people wouldn't even notice them.
However, Fu Shiyan and Tang Hao were both powerful figures at the Titled Douluo level, and they sensed those gazes as soon as they fell upon them.
Fu Shiyan chuckled softly and whispered to Tang Hao, "It seems we underestimated the intelligence capabilities of an empire."
Tang Hao nodded slightly and lowered his voice, saying, "Compared to Heaven Dou, Star Luo Empire places greater emphasis on intelligence and military strength."
"Previously, our sect... Clear Sky Sect, was located within the Star Luo Empire territory."
"The people here value martial prowess more than Heaven Dou power."
When he mentioned "Clear Sky Sect", his words stopped abruptly, his expression stiffened slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
Now, after Ah Yin's previous description and a series of clues, he can no longer face the sect that was once more important to him than life itself.
He shook his head, calmed his complicated emotions, and continued, "In short, Star Luo Empire's intelligence network is much more sophisticated than Heaven Dou's."
Fu Shiyan nodded without saying anything.
Star Luo Palace.
Imperial Study, Star Luo Emperor sat at his desk, reviewing memorials.
A palace attendant rushed in, knelt down, and reported, "Your Majesty, the city guards have sent word that a figure resembling the Tianqing Douluo has appeared in the Star Luo Imperial City."
Upon hearing this, Star Luo Emperor paused slightly.
He put down the memorial in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, and muttered to himself in confusion, "Tianqing Douluo? Why would he come to the Star Luo Empire?"
Then, he stood up, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
Tianqing Douluo, the leader of the Beichen Heavenly Palace and the head of the Upper Three Sects.
The Beichen Academy, under its tutelage, is currently the most sought-after institution of learning on the continent.
Even if such a person is an emperor, he must be treated with utmost care.
He stopped and turned to look at the eunuch, giving the order:
"Arrange a banquet. Now that they're here, I must show them the proper hospitality."
The eunuch acknowledged and quickly withdrew.
On the streets of Star Luo Imperial City.
Fu Shiyan and her two companions were strolling around casually, looking at the surrounding street scene.
It was Tang San's first time visiting the Star Luo Imperial City, and his eyes were full of wonder.
He looked at the architectural style, so different from that of Heaven Dou City, and at the passersby, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Tang Hao walked beside Fu Shiyan, his hood pulled low, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
Just then, a figure blocked their way.
He was a middle-aged man with a fair complexion, clean skin, no beard, and a somewhat effeminate air about him.
He was dressed in a dark brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist, clearly a member of the palace.
He bowed deeply to Fu Shiyan and said respectfully:
"Greetings, Your His Excellency Tianqing. His Majesty, having heard of Your Majesty's arrival in the Star Luo Empire, specifically instructed me to invite you to be his guest."
Fu Shiyan and Tang Hao exchanged a glance, then Fu Shiyan chuckled and said to Tang Hao, "It seems that what Tang Zhong said is indeed true."
Tang Hao smiled slightly but remained silent.
Fu Shiyan looked at the eunuch and said gently, "Since His Majesty has extended such a sincere invitation, I, Fu, will not refuse."
Upon hearing this, the eunuch's face lit up with joy, and he quickly stepped aside to make way, saying, "Your Majesty, please."
