Tang Hao's Appearance

Seeing this scene, Shadow, who was staring at Qian Renxue and Tai Yi, thought to himself:

Since it has come to this, let me be the one to end their lives.

Shadow then waited for an opportunity, waiting for a chance to deliver a fatal blow.

Meanwhile, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qianjun Douluo, and Xiangmo Douluo were locked in a heated battle with Sword Douluo. Although Ning Fengzhi's side had more people, they were still being suppressed by the three from the Elder Palace.

This was because Golden Crocodile Douluo was a level 98 Title Douluo possessing a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring. While Qianjun and Xiangmo were only level 96 Super Douluos, they were biological brothers and possessed a combination skill; when unleashed, they could match the strength of a level 98 Title Douluo. Thus, against the larger opposing force, the three of them still maintained a crushing advantage.

On the other side, Yu Luomian and the others were losing their lives one by one under the attacks of Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

At the same time, Xue Qinghe, watching from the shadows, felt both triumphant and regretful.

He was triumphant because the Heaven Dou Empire personnel he had brought out were now all dead, fulfilling his duty as an undercover agent. He was regretful because, despite knowing such an opportunity existed, he had failed to bring out all the Spirit Sages and Contra-level masters from Heaven Dou City.

In reality, Xue Qinghe's position had long been exposed to the perception of the Spirit Hall members, but the elders of the Elder Palace knew he was their own mole, which was why they had not reacted.

Soon, Yue Guan and Gui Mei had slaughtered all the Spirit Sages and Contras, leaving only Yu Luomian alive.

Seeing Yu Luomian, Yue Guan shouted at him:

"Yu Luomian, since you dared to come and ambush our Young Lady and Young Master, prepare to die."

After speaking, Yue Guan and Gui Mei unleashed their spirit skills, preparing to eliminate Yu Luomian.

At that very instant, before their attacks could strike Yu Luomian, a figure appeared in front of him.

A man holding a hammer and standing upon nine spirit rings—the ninth of which was a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring—had appeared before Yu Luomian.

Seeing this man and his martial soul, everyone on the scene was shocked, for they recognized him as Tang Hao.

Upon seeing Tang Hao, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qianjun Douluo, and Xiangmo Douluo all revealed joyful expressions. They had originally thought they would have to go looking for him, but he had appeared on his own.

Hidden in the shadows, Qian Daoliu also revealed a look of joy at Tang Hao's appearance; the culprit who had indirectly caused his son's death had finally been found.

Seeing Tang Hao, Qian Renxue's expression turned fierce. In her eyes, Tang Hao was the murderer of her father.

Tai Yi looked at Tang Hao and remarked:

"The Upper Three Sects and the two great empires—all the powers of the Douluo Continent are finally gathered here."

As for why Tang Hao appeared here, it was because the ambush site was just outside Soto City. To protect Tang San, Tang Hao was naturally in the vicinity, and he had inevitably sensed the battle between the several Title Douluos.

Thus, upon feeling the combat, Tang Hao had naturally come to the scene.

Tang Hao looked at Qian Renxue and Tai Yi. Seeing their spirit power and age, he was inwardly astonished. He had originally thought that his son Tang San's twin martial souls and innate full spirit power were the pinnacle of talent on the Douluo Continent, and that he only needed to wait for his son to grow up to take revenge on Spirit Hall.

Now, seeing the talent of these two, Tang Hao understood that with them in existence, it was uncertain whether his son Tang San could even grow up, and even if he did, he might not be a match for these two.

That was why Tang Hao chose to strike.

Seeing Tang Hao's arrival, Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen also revealed joyful expressions, and Ning Fengzhi shouted to him:

"Haotian Douluo, I didn't expect you to appear."

"Haotian Douluo, since you have arrived, leave these two from Spirit Hall to you; we will handle the others here."

After saying this, Yu Yuanzhen and the others, who had been at a disadvantage, stood directly in front of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, hoping to create an opportunity for Tang Hao to kill Qian Renxue and Tai Yi.

Seeing this, Tang Hao stopped wasting words and swung his Clear Sky Hammer directly at Qian Renxue and Tai Yi, intending to eliminate the two people who would block his son Tang San's path.

But the moment Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer, a terrifying force descended, pinning him in place.

Everyone present then saw Qian Daoliu appear behind Qian Renxue and Tai Yi.

Upon seeing Qian Daoliu, everyone realized that this ambush was a trap set by Spirit Hall. Now, they were no longer thinking about whether they could eliminate Qian Renxue and Tai Yi, but rather how to survive against the elite team of Spirit Hall.

A level 99 Peerless Douluo in Qian Daoliu, a level 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo, plus Qianjun and Xiangmo with their martial soul fusion skill, and Yue Guan and Gui Mei who also possessed a martial soul fusion skill.

With such a team present, Ning Fengzhi and the others only wanted to flee.

Seeing this, Shadow sighed. He understood that he had no chance to strike at Qian Renxue and Tai Yi; that old monster Qian Daoliu had actually been willing to leave Spirit City. With Qian Daoliu there, he had no chance at all.

All he needed to do now was to avoid detection, return safely to Spirit City, and inform Bibi Dong that Yue Guan and Gui Mei had defected to the Elder Palace. At the same time, he had to warn Bibi Dong that her attempt to harm Qian Renxue and Tai Yi had been exposed, and she would need to consider how to face those old monsters in the Elder Palace.

In the next second, Shadow left the scene and flew toward Spirit City.

Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi signaled to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, and both understood his meaning.

Ning Fengzhi then shouted to Zhu Lingtian, Yu Yuanzhen, and Tang Hao:

"Everyone, fight them with everything you have, and look for a chance to escape in the meantime."

The others nodded in agreement.

Just as everyone prepared to strike, Ning Fengzhi activated his spirit skill:

"Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, Second: Speed!"

Ning Fengzhi's speed amplification was placed upon Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

Receiving the speed boost, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo turned around at the first opportunity, preparing to flee for their lives.

Ning Fengzhi knew that staying here meant certain death, but if they escaped, even if he had to sacrifice half of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to Spirit Hall, he could at least save his life.
