Tai Tan shot up from his chair in shock.

"Where did they disappear?"

"In an alley."

After saying that, the old steward led Tai Tan to that alley.

The place was already packed with members of the Strength Clan.

When they saw Tai Tan arrive, they all made way for him.

Tai Tan walked step by step into the depths of the alley, his eyes bloodshot, his breathing as heavy as an ox's.

He saw it clearly.

Hanging from a tree deep in the alley were two bloody heads.

They were Tai Nuo and Tai Long!

Tai Tan slowly crouched down before his son and grandson, feeling as if knives were twisting in his heart.

The two had died with their eyes open, their ends utterly miserable.

On those faces, which bore an eighty-percent resemblance to his own, the anger and unwillingness from the moment before death had frozen in place.

Tai Tan stood there for a long time without moving at all.

In just a short while, Tai Tan's grizzled hair had turned as white as snow.

He solemnly closed their eyes, then said one sentence.

"Investigate every suspicious person!"

"Even if you have to turn Heaven Dou City upside down, find out who did this."

Tai Tan's voice was extremely calm, but the killing intent bursting from his cloudy old eyes made everyone present shudder.

After saying that, Tai Tan left the place.

Half a day later.

Tai Long and Tai Nuo's movements had been uncovered.

The evidence showed that on that day, more than a dozen people had gotten into an argument with Tai Nuo and his son.

Among them, the most suspicious one was called Zhou Tao.

That night.

Tai Tan brought the core members of the Strength Clan to the dormitory area of Imperial Dou Academy.

"Zhou Tao, get the hell out here for this old man!"

Tai Tan sent people to completely surround Zhou Tao's dormitory, waiting only for Zhou Tao to come out.

However.

Inside Zhou Tao's dormitory, there was only silence.

There was no response at all.

It was as if he treated them like air.

Seeing this, Tai Tan immediately flew into a rage.

"Brat, if you dare not come out, this old man will tear down the room with you in it!"

However.

There was still no response at all.

Seeing this, Tai Tan was instantly enraged and was just about to make his move.

Just then, a cold voice rang out.

"Old dog, you dare run wild on my territory."

"Who gave you the nerve?"

Hearing this, Tai Tan's body trembled, and he immediately turned to look in the direction the voice had come from.

Dugu Bo slowly flew over through the air, standing with his hands behind his back, staring coldly at Tai Tan as if he were looking at a dead man.

Hearing this, Tai Long was so frightened he pissed himself.

Before a Title Douluo, even if he had ten thousand times the courage, he would not dare act out.

"Your Eminence Poison Douluo, we really aren't here to cause trouble."

"My son and grandson are both dead. I suspect Zhou Tao did it."

"Do you have evidence?"

Dugu Bo said coldly.

"They argued at the auction house back then. It must have been this brat who killed my grandson and my son."

"That is not evidence."

Dugu Bo said coldly.

"If you dare frame my disciple, I'll crush every last one of your Strength Clan to death!"

"Now get lost!"

Dugu Bo slapped Tai Long across the face, instantly sending him flying more than five meters away.

"Yes, yes, yes. We'll get lost right now."

Before long, that pack of monkeys from the Strength Clan had all run off.

Only then did Zhou Tao come out of the room.

"Brat, did you get into a fight with those servants?"

When Dugu Bo saw Zhou Tao, his gaze flickered involuntarily, and his brow twitched slightly. Then he spoke in a low voice.

"Those two didn't know what was good for them. They secretly followed me and even wanted to kill me."

"So I ground their bones to dust."

Zhou Tao shrugged and said calmly.

Thinking of it, he found it funny.

Two servants, and they really thought Heaven Dou Imperial City was their territory, somewhere they could do whatever they wanted?

"Mm. People who don't know what's good for them like that—if you killed them, then you killed them."

"It's just that, disciple, your heart is still too soft."

"Since they've already become enemies, you have to pull them up by the roots!"

"Wipe out the Strength Clan completely."

"That way, these people won't keep coming to your door one after another and turn into a scourge."

Hearing Zhou Tao's words, Dugu Bo could not help nodding. A trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes, and his expression turned somewhat gloomy.

Dugu Bo had always been decisive and showed no mercy to his enemies.

Toward those who dared launch a killing attack on his disciple, he had even less pity.

And toward the Strength Clan, who dared threaten his disciple's existence, an even denser killing intent rose in him!

Sensing Dugu Bo's killing intent, Zhou Tao could not help being stunned.

"My identity wasn't exposed, and all traces were cleaned up. They won't be able to find any handle."

"When the Strength Clan came knocking, I originally didn't want to bother with them. After all, they wouldn't dare cause trouble in the Imperial Academy."

"Teacher, are you planning to...?"

Sensing Dugu Bo's killing intent, Zhou Tao's heart trembled, and he understood that Dugu Bo wanted to eliminate the roots.

"When cutting weeds, you must remove the roots. Otherwise, when the spring wind blows, they grow again. If you deal with it in the future, it will only be harder."

"Today, I'll teach you this brat a lesson—what ruthlessness means!"

"Since you've stepped onto the path of a soul master, if you want to become powerful, you have to climb up over mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"Do not stop until you reach the very top!"

"Dealing with one Strength Clan is nothing more than a casual matter for this old man."

"There's no need to wait for the future. That will only create unnecessary complications."

"We go kill them now!"

Dugu Bo's voice was icy, filled with ruthless decisiveness.

Ever since taking Zhou Tao as his disciple, he had yet to properly teach him a lesson.

Today, Dugu Bo was going to teach Zhou Tao one principle.

When cutting weeds, remove the roots!

Otherwise, after beating the young ones, the old ones would come.

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Teacher!"

"I'll go too. We'll wipe out the Strength Clan!"

Zhou Tao nodded and said decisively.

With the Strength Clan's temperament, they would probably cause trouble even without evidence, and they would never stop until they achieved their goal.

Rather than wait for those beasts to come seeking revenge, it was better to take the initiative and eliminate the threat forever!

"Mm. It's good that you understand."

"The Strength Clan has always committed countless evils. Since they've run into this old man, I'll do a good deed and wipe out this nest of tumors."

Heaven Dou City.

Strength Clan territory.

The lavishly decorated hall was packed with members of the Strength Clan.

Terrifying soul power fluctuations radiated from Tai Tan's entire body!

His face was dark, filled with fury.

"Damn it, that Poison Douluo actually dared to stop me from taking revenge."

"If not for the fact that he's a Title Douluo, I'd have wiped him out myself."

"If only the Haotian Sect hadn't gone into seclusion. For the Haotian Sect's sake, Poison Douluo wouldn't have dared look down on us like this."

"No. I can't swallow this insult."

"Go investigate that brat. Once he comes out, we'll destroy him."

"My son and grandson can't have died for nothing."

Tai Tan ground his teeth until they creaked, the aura of a Soul Douluo pressing down so hard that everyone present felt stifled.

"Go now. Find out everything you can about that brat."

At Tai Tan's command, everyone in the hall rose one after another.

He planned to have that brat followed around the clock, with no blind spots. As soon as Dugu Bo left, they would kill the brat.

But the moment they walked out of the hall, an invisible panic abruptly welled up in their hearts.

Quiet. It was far too quiet!

In such a huge clan, why did it feel as though there was no one there?
