The Clear Sky Sect's Scheme, the Temptation of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone!
A few days later, within the Heaven Dou Empire.
Deep within a vast mountain range stood the number one sect on Douluo Continent—the Clear Sky Sect.
Two figures raced toward the sect's council hall at tremendous speed.
They were none other than Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, the two brothers who had ended their training outside early and rushed all the way back to the sect.
The moment they returned, they did not even have time to catch their breath before immediately going to see their father.
The current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Lan—the level ninety-four Title Douluo known as "Blue Sky."
Inside the grand sect master's hall, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
"Why have you two returned?" Tang Lan sat in the seat of honor, his face slightly pale as he asked, "Did something happen?"
Though Tang Lan was in poor health, he could tell from their hurried appearance that something major must have occurred.
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao exchanged a glance, and in the end, Tang Xiao explained.
"Father." Tang Xiao said solemnly, "The two of us encountered something outside..."
From their chance encounter with Ah Yin after she had taken human form, to Lan Lingcang's sudden and forceful interception.
Then the sudden sneak attack by the Title Douluo from Spirit Hall who had been hiding in secret, followed by the heaven-shaking lightning that descended in the end.
Tang Xiao told his father every thrilling detail of what had happened, leaving nothing out.
"What?!" Tang Lan sat up straight. "You mean you encountered two Soul Beasts from the Blue Silver Clan, one of whom was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had taken human form and now possessed the cultivation of a Soul Ancestor?"
"And the other one's exact cultivation is unknown, but when you fled, you saw him summon lightning?"
"Yes, Father." Tang Hao said in a deep voice. "That lightning was incredibly powerful. At the time, there was also a Title Douluo from Spirit Hall with us."
"It was precisely because he drew that Soul Beast's attention that the two of us had a chance to escape."
"And under that lightning strike, that Title Douluo was reduced to charcoal in a single blow."
Tang Lan fell silent.
To be honest, he knew very little about the Blue Silver Grass race. It could even be said that the other factions knew very little about this race as well.
Because in their eyes, Blue Silver Grass was merely common weed found everywhere, not worth studying.
When they hunted Soul Beasts for Soul Rings, they would never choose a Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring either.
As for existences more advanced than Blue Silver Grass, they had never encountered any.
But now, based on the information Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had brought back, there should be an emperor within the Blue Silver Grass race.
Because Ah Yin's martial soul was called the Blue Silver Emperor.
As for whether there were other powerful beings between Blue Silver Grass and the Blue Silver Emperor, that was another matter.
But in the end, what Tang Lan found most unbelievable was that the Blue Silver Grass race, always weak and regarded as the bottom of the food chain, could actually produce a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast powerhouse!
"Very well." Tang Lan drew a deep breath, his expression solemn. "Immediately summon all the elders in the sect. We will discuss this matter."
"The Blue Silver Emperor capable of summoning lightning has unknown strength, but since he dared to summon such heaven-defying lightning, he must have been confident that he would not die."
"Then his strength is at least comparable to a level ninety-five Title Douluo!"
Tang Lan looked at them and said, "You both know that your grandfather has been away from the sect for several years. We have never stopped searching for him during this time, but we have never been able to find him."
"Right now, aside from me, there is only one Title Douluo in the sect—the First Elder, Tang Xuan, a level ninety-three Title Douluo."
"So we can set our sights on that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that has already taken human form. As for that stronger existence, we can let him go for the sake of caution."
"Of course, with that emperor protecting her, it will not be easy to hunt that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who has taken human form. We must make plans carefully."
As he spoke, Tang Lan looked at the two of them with considerable relief. "Fortunately, you two did not grow soft-hearted after spending two months with her and decide to show mercy. Those are the true sons of the Clear Sky Sect."
Hearing their father's praise, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao silently exchanged another look.
They could both see the deep, complicated emotions in each other's eyes.
It would have been a lie to say they felt nothing for Ah Yin.
From the first moment they saw Ah Yin, both brothers had fallen in love at first sight with that gentle and kind girl.
But unfortunately, Soul Masters and Soul Beasts were natural enemies. On top of that, the greater good of the sect weighed upon them. They were destined to have no future together.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone—these two supreme treasures held a fatal and immense temptation for any Soul Master!
Tang Xiao understood that even if Ah Yin were hunted, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone from her body would most likely go to Tang Hao.
It would have been a lie to say he was not jealous.
After all, those were a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone!
But there was no helping it. Tang Hao's talent far surpassed his own.
With their grandfather absent, although the Clear Sky Sect remained the number one sect on the continent, it had already begun to show signs of decline when facing Spirit Hall, and conflicts occasionally arose.
Though they were still only minor conflicts, things had already become like this after their grandfather had been gone for only a few years.
What about a few more years from now?
He did not dare imagine it!
And their father was half-dead in this state. The sect needed new Title Douluo powerhouses!
Furthermore, Tang Hao already possessed five Soul Bones. Once he acquired this final piece, he would be able to use Ring Detonation!
Then, with the strength of a newly advanced Title Douluo, he could contend even with level ninety-five or perhaps level ninety-six Super Douluo!
A quarter of an hour later.
All the elders of the sect had gathered in the council hall.
Tang Lan explained the situation.
A moment later.
"What do you all think of this matter?" Tang Lan swept his gaze across the six great elders.
At present, aside from the First Elder, who was level ninety-three, the other five elders were merely Soul Douluo.
And among the five elders, the Second Elder, who was the strongest, had the highest cultivation—but was only level eighty-nine.
"Sect Master." First Elder Tang Xuan spoke. "There is no need to deliberate over this matter. I will lead the team."
"We have finally encountered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that has taken human form. We cannot let it go."
"Our sect is currently in decline. Only by allowing Tang Hao to become a Title Douluo as soon as possible, capable of using the complete Ring Detonation and Great Sumeru Hammer, can our Clear Sky Sect regain its footing."
"I agree with you." The Second Elder spoke, but then changed the subject. "However, Tang Hao is still quite some distance from level ninety. He does not yet meet the requirements to absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring."
