Background / History

The Tang Sect was an ancient organization with a legacy described as lasting ten thousand years. It maintained extensive commercial interests throughout the continent and functioned publicly through Xuanshi Tang Sect Technology Co., Ltd. 14 16 76

It was Shrek Academy's most dependable ally and a major source of its financial support. The Tang Sect made large annual payments to Shrek under the name of “sponsorship,” helping sustain the academy alongside Federation support. 39 53

Chen Yu selected the Tang Sect as a target after identifying it as Shrek Academy's capable assistant. He ordered the retrieval of five years of transaction records from Xuanshi Tang Sect Technology Co., Ltd. 14 15

Operations and Assets

• The sect acquired large quantities of military-grade Soul Tools and Soul Tool blueprints through its company. 15 16
• It operated a concealed research and dockyard base in Tianhai City, containing warehouses, maintenance areas, ships, and submarines intended for long-distance travel. 15 34
• The Tianhai base held offensive and defensive Soul Tools, personal Soul Tool weapons, warship cannons, blueprints, and equipment not yet fielded by the Federation military. 34
• According to Federation evidence, the base was used to transport military resources to the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Spirit Empire. 16 34
• The Tang Sect maintained branches across dozens of Federation cities, including Ming Capital, Star Luo City, Dou Ling City, and Beihai City. 36 37
• Its accumulated holdings included rare metals, heavenly treasures, Soul Tools, blueprints, and other valuable materials; its reserves were characterized as wealth rivaling a nation. 37 76
• Chen Yu acquired the opening chapter of the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill while researching cultivation paths beyond the Soul Master system. 31

Federation Investigation and Crackdown

Chen Yu publicly presented transaction records, receipts, fund flows, and material manifests showing that Soul Tools and blueprints were routed to Tianhai City before disappearing from Tang Sect accounts. He argued that the sect was secretly supplying overseas regimes and proposed an investigation, asset freeze, and arrests. More than two-thirds of the 365 Federation councilors voted in favor. 15 16

Sect Master Zang Xin rejected the accusation. He claimed that Star Luo, Heaven Spirit, and the Federation were “one family,” framing the Tang Sect's transfers as mutual aid intended to preserve continental peace rather than treason. 16

Public advocates and network “experts” later campaigned for the Tang Sect's innocence, arguing that its transfers promoted cooperation among the continent's states. Their campaign generated online petitions and protests outside the Parliament Building. 18 19

Fall of Shrek City Headquarters

During the Federation assault on Shrek City, Zang Xin attempted to stop the search of Tang Sect headquarters. Chen Yu defeated him with a single punch, leaving him severely injured and unconscious before Federation soldiers took him into custody. 32

The Four Great Legions then cleared the headquarters in Shrek City's northwest district. Within three hours, they captured:

• Thousands of disciples
• Dozens of deacons
• More than a dozen elders
• One Supreme Elder
• Sect Master Zang Xin 33

The headquarters was sealed by the military. Its Supreme Elder, despite being a Limit Douluo, surrendered rather than confront Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells. 33

Seizure of the Tianhai Base

The Three Great Navies landed at Tianhai City and seized the Tang Sect's secret base. More than 200 remaining disciples, researchers, technicians, and transport staff were detained and fitted with limiters. 34

All discovered Soul Tools, blueprints, and supplies were registered and moved to the Federation national treasury. 34

Elimination of Federation Branches

After the headquarters and Tianhai base fell, Federation legions simultaneously cleared Tang Sect branches across the country. The operation proceeded without warning and encountered little organized resistance. 35 36 37

By dawn, every Tang Sect branch within the Federation had been cleared, its personnel arrested, and its resources seized. 37

Chen Yu subsequently allocated half of the resources confiscated from Tang Sect headquarters and branches to the Eight Great Legions. 37

Later Fate

The Tang Sect was described as sealed, with Zang Xin captured and its organization uprooted. 49

Captured Tang Sect members were later transferred to the Blood God Legion to defend the Abyss Passage. Chen Yu intended their deployment to reduce Federation casualties while offering surviving members the possibility of offsetting their crimes through service. 86 89

Despite its earlier dismantling, the Tang Sect was later identified alongside Shrek Academy as responsible for breaking the Demon Plane's seal, enabling a demon invasion. 134
