Background and History
Tang Ya leads a diminished Tang Sect: its original site has been seized by the Iron Blood Sect, and she has no followers when she and Bei Bei recruit Huo Yuhao. She is determined to restore the sect, but Qin Chuan—then using the name Qin Ming—challenges her account of its history and leaves her questioning its future 35 36 37 144.
After leaving Shrek Academy, she returns to Heavenly Dou City seeking help for the sect. She later recalls slaughtering the Iron Blood Sect before being taken to the Holy Spirit Cult, where drugs ravage her consciousness and she kills people as an Evil Soul Master. Qin Chuan and Ma Xiaotao remove her from the cult; Qin Chuan treats her in the Life Spring, and she wakes horrified by what she remembers 104.
Tang Ya wants to return to Bei Bei, but Qin Chuan reveals that he was Qin Ming and forces her into service. She rejects both his demand that she sever her ties with Bei Bei and his alternative of returning to the Holy Spirit Cult. He subsequently uses an obedient second personality to direct her actions while her true personality remains aware and distressed 104 105 106.
Qin Chuan takes her to the era of the Tang Sect's founding and orders her to attack its founding clans. She refuses, but under his control she destroys the Strength Clan. He later deploys her and Ma Xiaotao against the other clans 108 115 140.
Appearance
Tang Ya is described with loose black hair, a slender figure, and a delicate face 102.
- Wears a long black dress while held by the Holy Spirit Cult; her eyes are hollow and her expression blank at that time 102.
- Looks no more than fifteen or sixteen to spectators when she competes as a Soul Emperor 129.
Personality
Tang Ya is warm toward Huo Yuhao when they first meet, offering him a handkerchief and inviting him into the Tang Sect 35. She takes pride in its founder and wants to revive the sect, but Qin Chuan's criticism of its history and her encounter with Tang San leave that loyalty under strain 37 109 111 144.
She is remorseful about the people she killed while controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult and resists Qin Chuan's orders to harm the Tang Sect's ancestors. Her later obedience does not reflect willing agreement: her true personality continues to object to his control and grieves over the Strength Clan's deaths 104 106 108 116.
