Sea God Island.
After a month-long journey, Tang Hao set foot on the island again. Along the way, he didn't encounter any black ships or shady merchants.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan guarded the coastal area of Sea God Island, driving away all Sea Soul Beast and foreign ships except for those bartering from Sea God Island to the mainland. Tang Hao had come to Sea God Island with Tang Xiao when he was young. He learned about the habits of the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan from Tang Chen and knew which route was safer. Therefore, he safely crossed the coastal area of Sea God Island and successfully landed.
Before Tang Hao set foot on the coastal area of Sea God Island, he shaved his thick, clump-like beard clean, tidied his messy, bird's nest-like hair, took a shower to remove the dirt and odor from his body, and changed into clean and tidy clothes.
Although he still looked old and frail, his new look made him appear ten years younger, like a weathered middle-aged man nearing fifty.
As for Tang Hao's large patch of gray hair, after meeting Tang Xiao and learning from him about Tang San's rebirth and the events Tang San experienced in the future—reviving Ah Yin, Destruction the Spirit Hall, leading the Clear Sky Sect to rise again and return to the number one peak in the world—his heart, which had been close to despair and even had the will to die, was rekindled with vitality. He was filled with beautiful longing for the future, and his gray hair gradually turned back to its original brown color.
Who is it?
With a low shout, seven or eight figures suddenly sprang out of the woods, their eyes fixed on Tang Xiao. These people had different appearances, but they had one thing in common: their clothes. They were dressed in light yellow, similar to tight-fitting outfits. The oldest was about forty years old, and the younger ones were around twenty. There were eight of them in total, lined up in a row, surrounding Tang Hao.
The Sea God Island Soul Master, dressed in uniform light yellow robes, were surprised to see Tang Hao. Why was someone here? It seemed like there had been a similar incident a few years ago. That person had said he came from the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao, and had received the Black Level Four Trials from the Lord Sea God.
This person, like Tang Xiao, had also lost an arm, and his appearance seemed somewhat similar to Tang Xiao's.
Tang Hao quickly and politely said, "Please don't misunderstand, everyone from Sea God Island. I mean no harm. My name is Tang Hao, and I come from the Clear Sky Sect on the mainland. My elder brother is Tang Xiao, who visited your Sea God Island a few years ago."
"You may all leave."
A voice as beautiful as heavenly music rang in the ears of the Sea God Island Soul Master. Upon hearing this voice, the Sea God Island Soul Master's Sea Martial Soul became extremely active. Their brains seemed to suddenly stop functioning, and their bodies automatically followed the voice's instructions, slowly retreating back into the forest behind them.
Soul Beast have simpler thoughts than humans, and their emotions are more genuine on average. By using the Sea Soul Beast within these lower-level Sea Soul Master, who have an unwavering and fanatical faith in the Sea God, Bo Saixi can still slightly control their actions with words imbued with Sea Soul Master fluctuations.
Just as these Sea Soul Master retreated into the forest, Tang Hao felt the space in front of him suddenly distort, and a woman in red holding a scepter appeared before him— Bo Saixi.
Thirty years later, Tang Hao set foot on the Sea God Island again and saw Bo Saixi once more. In his memory, Bo Saixi's appearance seemed unchanged. If there was any change, it was the temperament Bo Saixi exuded, which seemed to be more serene and mellow.
Tang Hao said, "Junior Tang Hao greets Senior Bo Saixi."
Bo Saixi nodded slightly, her brow furrowed. "Tang Hao, your hand too..."
Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily. He said with extreme resentment, "Senior Bo Saixi, this arm of mine was cut off by Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall, that bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong, a shameless bastard. His son, Qian Xunji, was defeated by me, and Qian Daoliu was defeated by my grandfather. This despicable father and son can only take advantage of my grandfather's absence to set foot on that elusive path to godhood, bullying the weak and humiliating the Clear Sky Sect."
Tang Hao already knew about what had happened between Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu. He didn't hide anything and told them this, his purpose being to test Bo Saixi's attitude towards both the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall.
Are they like Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong, and Yu Xiaogang, hating the Spirit Hall to the extreme, wishing they could Destruction the Spirit Hall and eradicate the Angel Clan, or are they leaning towards the Spirit Hall's side...?
If the situation leans towards the Spirit Hall, based on Tang Xiao's safe departure from Sea God Island, Tang Hao is somewhat confident that, given Bo Saixi's personality, she wouldn't kill him, but rather let him leave Sea God Island like Tang Xiao did. After all, not everyone's character is as despicable and shameless as the Qian Family of the Spirit Hall.
Bo Saixi sighed softly and shook her head, saying, "The conflicts and hatreds on your continent have nothing to do with Sea God Island, and I don't want to get involved in your affairs. For the sake of my past relationship with Tang Chen, I will help you restore this severed arm. After passing the test sent down by Lord Sea God Clear Sky Sect, you people of the Clear Sky Sect should never come to Sea God Island again. Sea God Island no longer welcomes your continental Soul Master."
Tang Hao asked in surprise, "Senior Bo Saixi, can you really regenerate a severed arm?"
"That's natural; the power of the Sea God is omnipotent."
Seeing that Bo Saixi had the ability to regenerate severed arms, yet did not do so for Tang Xiao, Tang Hao thought to himself: It seems that Bo Saixi truly does not want to get involved in the hatred and conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect anymore. She only hopes that the continent will return to the peaceful state it was decades ago, that the Clear Sky Sect will be rebuilt and become the number one sect in the world, and that the Seven Great Sects of the continent will stand side by side with the Spirit Hall.
Tang Hao sneered inwardly. The Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall had an irreconcilable blood feud; they were Undying enemies, it was a fight to the death, how could they coexist?
Grandfather, you fell in love with such a foolish, unfaithful, and naive woman, and embarked on the illusory path to godhood for her sake. Your grandson truly feels sorry for you! This woman is not even as good as Bibi Dong.
In Tang Hao's view, if Bo Saixi truly loved her grandfather Tang Chen, and had already experienced the Bibi Dong, then she should also transform into "Poseidon" or "Land" of Sea God Island, becoming just like Bibi Dong, hating the Spirit Hall to the extreme, and doing everything in her power to Destruction the Spirit Hall.
Because she was defiled, she felt immense guilt and remorse towards Tang Chen, believing she had no face to face him. So she secretly did everything she could to earn his forgiveness, instead of trying to sever ties, running away, and cutting off all contact. In that case, even the Spirit Hall wouldn't need to seek revenge.
