Tang San Destroys the Tang Sect!

Heaven Dou City, located in the hinterland of the northeastern Heaven Dou Empire, serves as the capital of the empire.

This place is not only a city with a rich history, but also one of the five most prosperous cities on the entire Douluo Continent.

The once greatest sect on the continent—the Tang Sect, founded by the Sea God—was situated in this very city.

On this day, inside the Tang Sect.

A young girl poked her head out from a room, carefully observing her surroundings.

The girl had fair skin and appeared to be about eight or nine years old.

She wore a blue martial outfit, and her phoenix eyes were large and spirited, with her long black hair tied into a ponytail hanging behind her.

Great, Mom and Dad have gone to a meeting, so I, Tang Ya, can go out and play again!

Tang Ya's phoenix eyes curved into crescents as she skillfully stood on tiptoe, hugging the wall and slowly moving toward the distant main gate.

Before long, Tang Ya had snuck near the Council Hall.

The Council Hall was a restricted area of the Tang Sect; usually, the gates were strictly guarded, and ordinary disciples were not allowed to approach.

But that was in the past...

As a sect with ten thousand years of heritage, the Tang Sect had now declined, with fewer than twenty disciples remaining.

I'm so lucky today! Tang Ya thought happily to herself, her footsteps becoming even lighter.

The doors to the Council Hall were not shut tight; a gap about three fingers wide remained in the middle of the wooden doors, and the sound of arguing drifted from within.

Tang Ya was about to use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to sneak past silently, but her ears caught a specific term from inside.

"Iron Blood Sect."

Tang Ya was instantly intrigued. She knew of the Iron Blood Sect; it was rumored to be an emerging sect in Heaven Dou City, and its sect master was a five-ring Spirit King, a level higher than her parents.

She pressed against the door frame and pricked up her ears.

"Sect Master Tang, will you really not reconsider? I am doing this for your own good!"

"Tie Li! This is the foundation our Tang Sect has passed down for ten thousand years; how could we just give it up like this?"

Another person coveting our Tang Sect's foundation!

Tang Ya felt very angry now. She had heard her father speak of how glorious the Tang Sect once was!

Back then, the Tang Sect's hidden weapons were sold all over the continent, and even a three-year-old child had heard of the Tang Sect's prestige.

But now, they were overshadowed by powerful Soul Tools, causing their hidden weapons to become unsellable...

Tang Ya clearly had no intention of continuing to listen. She activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, instantly left the area, and headed toward the main gate.

Now, only a day of carefree play could completely wash away the discomfort in her heart...

After Tang Ya left, an unknown amount of time passed before a grim-faced Tie Li pushed the door open and walked out.

Tie Li stood at the gate for a moment, then turned to the man and woman sitting in the main seats behind him, gritting his teeth: "Sect Master Tang, the Iron Blood Sect will remember today's events."

"We shall meet again!"

After delivering his harsh words, Tie Li did not hesitate and departed decisively...

As Tie Li walked out of the Tang Sect, his gaze turned cold instantly. "A fine Tang Sect indeed. I've said all the nice things I could; don't blame me for what happens tonight!"

Suddenly...

A stone flew from the horizon, heading straight for Tie Li's head.

The stone moved with such speed that even he, a Spirit King, could not react in time.

With a "thud," the stone struck Tie Li's forehead precisely, emitting a dull sound.

"Who! Who dares to ambush me!"

Tie Li clutched his swollen forehead, looking left and right, but he couldn't see a single soul.

"Get out here right now! Or my fists won't be so forgiving!"

Another stone flew out, though this time the speed was much slower.

Tie Li reacted instantly, dodging to the side, and he finally saw that the stone had been thrown from a deep, dark alley to his right.

Tie Li was instantly incensed. As the dignified Sect Master of the Iron Blood Sect and a five-ring Spirit King, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"You're courting death!" he growled, taking off at a sprint toward the alley.

Upon entering the alley, Tie Li found a man in green robes with several broken bamboo stalks stuck behind him, leaning against the wall as if waiting for something.

"Was it you bastard who threw the stone at me?"

Feng Yan did not reply, but silently looked to the side, speaking toward an empty space: "Tang San, someone wants to snatch your target for the second trial. What do you think?"

As his words fell, on the previously empty ground, a Man Faced Spider Emperor with a diameter of about ten meters gradually manifested from nothingness.

"Im... Impossible! How could there be a spirit beast in Heaven Dou City!"

Although Tie Li did not recognize the species of the spider before him, with such a massive size, its cultivation was at least fifty thousand years.

"I didn't intend to kill you, but since you've seen me, I cannot let you leave!" Tang San's voice was filled with killing intent.

Before coming to Heaven Dou City, he had once asked the senior Bamboo God about the situation in this world.

Feng Yan saw that they were merely trivial questions, so he simply did not hide anything and answered them all.

And so...

Tang San finally gained some understanding of this world, and also realized that he was currently a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast capable of driving countless powerhouses into a frenzy...

The hair on Tie Li's body stood on end, and he was so terrified he looked barely human.

The spider... had spoken!

This was a legendary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

Tie Li had just wanted to turn and run, but a sharp spider leg pierced through his chest with lightning speed.

Blood gushed out, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

At this moment, Feng Yan quietly released a sliver of divine power into Tie Li's body...

The moment he smelled the scent of blood, Tang San's appetite was uncontrollably whetted. It seemed... he had not eaten for a very long time.

However, a human... he truly could not bring himself to take a bite.

As Tang San hesitated, a magnetic male voice seemed to ring out in his mind:

"Eat... don't ruin your body from hunger..."

"No! He is a human... and I am a human too!" Tang San roared inwardly.

"You are a Man Faced Spider Emperor now, so... why is it that only humans cannot be killed and eaten?"

In the end.

Tang San still did not take a bite. After confirming that Tie Li was dead, he withdrew the spider leg from his chest and crawled toward the Tang Sect.

Only by quickly destroying this fake Tang Sect could he calm his heart.

After Tang San left, Feng Yan glanced at Tie Li, who was lying on the ground with more breath going out than coming in, curled his lips, and then vanished...

Before long, Tie Li was jolted awake by a thick, pungent scent of blood.

"I... am not dead?"

Tie Li slowly stood up and looked at his chest. Seeing a hole that went straight through, he felt utterly incredulous.

This was a fatal wound, yet he was still alive!

Unable to dwell on it, Tie Li quickly fled the scene...

Inside the Tang Sect...

Tang San had gone on a killing spree!

The Sect Master and his wife, along with a crowd of disciples, had all died miserably on the spot.

Now, Tang San was rummaging through every cabinet and box in the Tang Sect; he would not allow a single living person to remain in this fake Tang Sect!

Soon, he had searched the entire Tang Sect, but did not find a single living soul.

Finally! He had confirmed that this fake Tang Sect had been completely wiped out.

From the Sect Master down to the disciples, everyone who had inherited the unique arts of the Tang Sect had been left with no survivors.
