Background / History
Tang San founded the Tang Sect roughly twenty thousand years before the story. His legends, twin martial souls, and innate full soul power remained central to the sect's reputation; Tang Wulin's awakening of Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer immediately prompted comparisons to the founder 3 14.
The sect maintained close ties with Shrek Academy and the reclusive Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Sect traditionally aided Shrek when needed, while Tang Sect and Shrek were described as sharing glory and hardship for twenty thousand years 14 81.
By the Sun Moon Federation era, the Tang Sect stood among the Federation's four great powers, alongside Shrek Academy, the Spirit Pagoda, and the War God Hall. It possessed quasi-god-level protection, extensive resources, branch networks, and high-level inheritances such as the Mysterious Heaven Technique and Purple Demon Eye 37 61 74.
Its position rapidly collapsed after Han Li destroyed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, plundered its Star Luo Empire branch, and massacred the leadership at its headquarters. The later death of Cao Dezhi, the sect's affiliated quasi-god powerhouse and Blood God Battalion's Blood One, removed another of its remaining senior protectors 73 97 110 142.

Holdings and Operations
| Asset / Operation | Details |
|---|---|
| Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well | A former Tang Sect-controlled treasure basin in Sunset Forest, under its jurisdiction for ten thousand years. Only gifted disciples were permitted to seek heavenly treasures there, until Han Li drained and destroyed it 70 73. |
| Valley defenses | The sect concentrated Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flowers to create a seven-colored poisonous miasma; contact was fatal below Title Douluo level. The miasma vanished together with the well's resources 71 73. |
| Immortal herb guardians | Six immortal-herb savage beasts inhabited the well and expected Tang Sect patrols under Zang Xin's authority. They were lost when Han Li absorbed the valley's life essence 70 71 73. |
| Dragon Valley Minor Plane | A former major secret of the Star Luo branch, containing dragon remains and immense energy. A Tang Sect soul-tool formation was used to locate and open its entrance, requiring at least Title Douluo-level soul power to activate; Han Li seized its coordinates and later became Dragon Valley's master 86 88 96. |
| Branch network | Branches and disciples operated across locations including Tiandou City, Ming Capital, Eastsea City, Star Luo City, Skysea City, and Maple Leaf City 73 74. |
| Resource storage | The Star Luo branch maintained warehouses of soul tools, rare metals, spiritual materials, and other reserves accumulated over thousands of years. Han Li emptied the known storage sites, leaving the branch without its accumulated reserves 97. |
Inheritances
- Mysterious Heaven Technique — A top-tier Tang Sect inheritance available to promising disciples 37.
- Purple Demon Eye — A top-tier Tang Sect inheritance associated with the sect's cultivation system 37.
- Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well cultivation — The well served as sacred ground where generations of Tang Sect experts tempered their bodies and overcame bottlenecks before its destruction 73.
Major Arcs
Destruction of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
Han Li entered the Tang Sect's restricted Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without affiliation to the sect, absorbed its immortal herbs and life essence, and left the valley barren. The twin springs, herbs, and poisonous miasma all vanished 71 73.
Zang Xin discovered the destruction and declared that the Tang Sect would not rest until either it or “Li Feiyu” was destroyed. He ordered all disciples to suspend non-emergency duties and hunt the unknown culprit despite possessing only a name 73.
Continent-Wide Manhunt
Tang Sect teams searched cities, transportation hubs, ports, hotels, and markets across the continent. Their broad inspections disrupted travel and trade, while other factions avoided intervening because of the sect's anger 74.
The operation failed to identify Li Feiyu; the sect had no information regarding his appearance, age, martial soul, or cultivation level 74.
Star Luo Branch Collapse
Han Li infiltrated the Tang Sect's Star Luo branch, killed its leader Hu Jie, and seized the Dragon Valley Minor Plane coordinates 86.
After later capturing the branch's replacement representative, Han Li forced him to disclose every resource-storage location in the Star Luo Empire. Han Li then emptied the branch's warehouses, leaving its accumulated soul tools, rare metals, and spiritual materials gone 96 97.
Loss of Zang Xin and Headquarters
Zang Xin disappeared alongside War God Hall Master Chen Xinjie, leaving Tang Sect elders to jointly maintain operations under Cao Dezhi's guidance 102.
Han Li subsequently entered Tang Sect headquarters, confirmed that he had killed Zang Xin, and demanded all sect resources. He killed elders who resisted, delayed, falsified the resource inventory, or fled with concealed assets 109.
The remaining elders were executed after Han Li returned. The sect treasury was then looted, and reports described the Tang Sect's upper echelon as annihilated 110.
Death of Cao Dezhi
Cao Dezhi retained his grief and fury over the Tang Sect's destruction after its headquarters fell. When Han Li returned to the Blood God Legion, Cao Dezhi attacked him with the Unfeeling Sword, bearing what he regarded as the Tang Sect's legacy and resentment 142.
Han Li defeated Cao Dezhi with a single punch, reducing the Unfeeling Douluo to mist and eliminating the sect's remaining known quasi-god-level supporter 142.
Relationships
- Tang San — Founder whose legacy, martial souls, long-term plans, and accumulated power of faith remained deeply tied to the sect's identity 3 73 117.
- Zang Xin — Sect Master who led the manhunt for Li Feiyu after the loss of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; subsequently killed by Han Li 73 74 109.
- Cao Dezhi — Unfeeling Douluo and Blood God Battalion's Blood One; advised temporary collective management after Zang Xin disappeared, then died attacking Han Li over the Tang Sect's destruction 102 142.
- Shrek Academy — Longstanding ally; the two organizations shared glory and suffering for twenty thousand years 81.
- Clear Sky Sect — Historically linked to Shrek Academy and Tang San; its bloodline and sect history made Tang Wulin a source of suspicion for the Spirit Pagoda. Han Li later destroyed the Clear Sky Sect, ending another of Tang Sect's historical allied powers 14 115 116.
- Star Luo Empire — Hosted a major Tang Sect branch with deep ties to the imperial family and local factions; the sect petitioned the empire after its resources were looted 97.
- Han Li / “Li Feiyu” — Destroyed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, killed senior leaders including Hu Jie, Zang Xin, and Cao Dezhi, looted branch and headquarters resources, and destroyed the sect's upper leadership 73 86 97 109 110 142.
Trivia
- The Tang Sect's exclusive control of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well relied partly on a deliberately concentrated poisonous-miasma barrier 71.
- During the manhunt for Li Feiyu, Tang Sect disciples were ordered to report anyone claiming the name or appearing suspicious, despite having no identifying information on the target 74.
- The sect's Star Luo resource reserves were later converted by Han Li through the Dragon Valley Minor Plane Soul Core into primordial energy of heaven and earth 99.
- Tang Sect's looted assets, together with the foundations seized from other major powers, were refined by the Dragon Valley Soul Core into energy equivalent to roughly one Golden Ancient Tree 117.
