Father and Son Meet, Only to Bid Farewell

Seeing this, Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Yu Xiaogang all thought the same thing: the three of them were insignificant before Bone Douluo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As for Xiao Wu, they could only hope Haotian Douluo would rescue her later.

After all, in their eyes, Xiao Wu was Tang San's sweetheart and the future daughter-in-law of Haotian Douluo.

Just as they were thinking this, a figure plummeted from the sky and crashed in front of the Shrek group, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Once the dust settled, everyone saw who was in the crater.

Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in unison:

"Your Excellency Haotian!"

The three wondered why the mighty Haotian Douluo had been beaten into such a state; his aura was clearly withered. They knew that not long ago, when Haotian Douluo had dealt with Zhao Wuji, he had been nothing like this.

Tang San didn't care that Flender and the others called his father "Your Excellency Haotian." His eyes were fixed solely on Tang Hao, the father he hadn't seen in six years, and he was devastated to find him severely wounded upon their reunion.

Tang San rushed forward immediately and asked, "Father, what happened to you? Are you alright?"

Seeing Tang San, Tang Hao managed a bitter smile. Sensing the auras approaching from behind, he spoke urgently: "Little San, listen to me and remember this! Our family's enemies have arrived—it is Spirit Hall. They are hunting us down. Go to the Yuexuan in Heaven Dou City immediately. The person in charge there is your aunt, Tang Yuehua. Have her take you to the Clear Sky Sect to find your uncle, Tang Xiao. Tell them you are a twin-spirit master and tell them that I, Tang Hao, have failed the Clear Sky Sect. They will nurture you."

Tang Hao then thought of Xiao Wu, believing his older brother Tang Xiao would understand his intentions, and added, "Take your sister Xiao Wu with you as well; your uncle will make the arrangements."

Tang San's mind reeled. His father, who had vanished for six years, was a member of the Clear Sky Sect and the legendary Haotian Douluo. He had an aunt and an uncle, and his family's enemies were Spirit Hall, who were already here to hunt them down.

Finally, hearing Tang Hao mention Xiao Wu, Tang San said in a daze, "Father, Xiao Wu was taken by Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Since you are a Title Douluo, can you save her?"

Hearing this, Tang Hao looked toward the Shrek Academy group and realized that Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were indeed gone.

Tang Hao deduced that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had likely teamed up with Spirit Hall against him, then guessed the rest: they had taken Ning Rongrong back for her safety, and upon discovering Xiao Wu—a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form—they couldn't resist capturing her.

Tang Hao was furious. First, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had fled during the battle with Spirit Hall, and now they had snatched his son's companion.

Yet, despite his rage, Tang Hao was helpless. With Spirit Hall's pursuers at his back, he had to buy time for Tang San to escape; he couldn't afford to settle scores with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect now.

Just then, the voice of Qianjun Douluo rang out: "Excellent. We've found both father and son, so we won't have to go hunting for you after we kill you, Tang Hao."

As the voice faded, Tang Hao, his son, and the Shrek group saw Qianjun, Jiang Mo, Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and Tai Yi descending from the sky.

The five of them hovered in the air, looking down at the group.

Seeing Qian Daoliu and the others, Tang Hao said to Tang San, "Little San, run! Remember what I told you."

With that, Tang Hao stood before Tang San, holding his Clear Sky Hammer and facing the five enemies.

Seeing this, Tang San cried out, "Father, I won't go! I want to go with you!"

Tang Hao roared, "Go! Or none of us will make it out alive!"

Tang Hao then shouted to Yu Xiaogang, "Take Little San and go! He knows where to head. I will hold off the people from Spirit Hall."

Yu Xiaogang naturally grabbed Tang San and urged, "Little San, let's go! Haotian Douluo won't be able to hold them off for long."

Yu Xiaogang knew the power of Spirit Hall, especially after seeing Qian Daoliu, who was known as invincible in the sky. Being a man who valued his own life, he was eager to flee.

He pulled at Tang San, desperate to leave.

Seeing this, Flender decided to take his students and depart. As a veteran of the Douluo Continent, he realized this was a grudge between Spirit Hall and the Tang family. If he stayed, his academy would be in danger.

Zhao Wuji shared the same sentiment. Although he had his own history with Spirit Hall and was still being hunted by them, he realized they weren't here for him. Fearing he might be wiped out alongside the others, he wanted to leave immediately.

Zhao Wuji signaled Flender, and under the decision of the headmaster and vice-headmaster, the teachers led the remaining five students away.

Qian Daoliu and his group didn't care about the Shrek Academy group; they were only here to finish off the Tangs. They had no interest in the small fry.

And so, Flender led the Shrek group away.

Tang San was dragged along by Yu Xiaogang, beginning their flight.

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu's group had no intention of letting Tang San escape.

In the next second, Qianjun and Jiang Mo charged toward the fleeing pair. Tang Hao, refusing to let them succeed, detonated his seventh and eighth soul rings, blocking their path. He no longer intended to leave this place alive.

He had only one thought: to ensure his son, Tang San, could escape safely.

Watching this, Qian Renxue recalled what Tai Yi had told her. Thinking of the hypocrite Yu Xiaogang and the son of her father's killer, she said to Qian Daoliu, "Grandfather, leave those two to me and Xiao Yi."

With that, Qian Renxue took Tai Yi and flew toward Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
