With the fall of Vast Sea City, Yu Xiaogang and his group managed to escape overseas on two ships.
Inside the cabin, Yu Xiaogang and the others were unusually silent. For them, the road ahead seemed endless, with no way out at all.
Countless Soul Master fled overseas. Bai He also heard the news and came to the ship to meet with Tai Tan and others. However, when he heard about the situation of the Speed Clan in recent years and the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect, his whole body almost collapsed.
These Soul Master who fled overseas basically only had two options: the first was to escape to Sea God Island and prepare to join Sea God Island.
Sea God Island is a sacred place for Sea Soul Master, and it will not refuse the joining of these Sea Soul Master, although the assessment is quite difficult. However, for land Soul Master, this path is obviously not feasible.
Many people now understand the requirements for joining Sea God Island. As land-based Soul Master, they only have a short period of one year, making it impossible to pass the assessment. Especially for Yu Xiaogang, who is only a level 29 Soul Grandmaster, passing the assessment to join Sea God Island is almost harder than climbing to heaven.
The second option is to conquer islands overseas and become king, which is also the second path chosen by many Sea Soul Master.
However, this path also has a major drawback. If one were to occupy an island and become its king, it would be almost equivalent to being a pirate. If one cannot plunder resources, there would be no way to sustain subsequent cultivation. This would be even more difficult for land-based Soul Master. Occupying an island and becoming its king might mean that even food could not be guaranteed, since these people are all landlubbers. If you asked them to go to sea to fish, they might get eaten by the fish.
Yu Xiaogang and the others looked at it from all angles and felt that escaping overseas would only lead to a slow death. Originally, they planned for Tang San to escape from Sea God Island, but now they felt that even if Tang San escaped from Sea God Island, it seemed that there would be no place for him in the world.
As for surrendering to the Spirit Hall Empire, that was not very realistic for Yu Xiaogang and his group.
If it were just Yu Xiaogang and a few others from the original Shrek Academy, it would be easier to handle. The problem is that the Strength Clan and the Speed Clan are basically on the Spirit Hall Empire's kill list. As staunch remnants of the Clear Sky Sect, no one is willing to tolerate their surrender. Moreover, given the fiery tempers of the two clans, they would rather die in battle than surrender to the Spirit Hall Empire.
Everyone stared at the enormous map on the table, as if there was no place left for them on the entire map.
At this moment, Tai Nuo suddenly spoke up, "Dad, I think at this point, it's not about saving face anymore. Our only way to survive is probably to escape to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy. In the entire Douluo Continent, only Heavenly Pursuit Academy hasn't submitted to the Spirit Hall Empire, and only they have the strength to fight against the Spirit Hall Empire."
Tai Tan roared, "What are you thinking, brat? We, the Four Single-Attribute Clans, have already broken ties. I have no brotherly feelings for Yang Wudi and Niu Gao anymore. Do you expect me to grovel before them? I'd rather die than do that."
Tai Nuo actually dared to face Tai Tan's wrath this time, his face showing great resentment. "Dad, what are you still thinking about? The Upper Three Sects have been completely taken over, and even Ning Fengzhi and the others from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School have defected to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy. You've sacrificed so much for the Clear Sky Sect, what have you gotten in return?"
"Because of your wrong choice back then, our Strength Clan had recovered some of its strength, and the number of Soul Master had exceeded five hundred. However, we were repeatedly besieged by the Spirit Hall Empire, and now our Strength Clan has less than fifty people left. Do you want the clan to be completely wiped out?"
"You've always cared about the protection the Clear Sky Sect provided us back then, treating Clear Sky Sect as your masters. But what has the Clear Sky Sect offered us all these years? Aside from incurring the wrath of the Spirit Hall, our family has only been plunged into endless death."
After saying these words, Tai Nuo seemed to roar, his face becoming extremely distorted, as if he were facing his father as if he were an enemy.
Tai Tan first heard Tai Nuo's words, he plopped down on the stool, all his remaining strength drained away.
But Tai Nuo was still unwilling to give up. "Since we left the Clear Sky Sect, in just over twenty years, the Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan have both produced Titled Douluo. Now, even the Spirit Hall Empire doesn't dare to provoke them easily. And what have our two clans become? Whether it's your older generation or our generation, the gap has become increasingly obvious, not to mention our descendants."
"If this continues, our Strength Clan will likely be wiped out in less than twenty years. Don't you even consider our family's future?"
Upon hearing these words, Tai Tan coughed up a mouthful of blood, but couldn't help but say, "We're only down on our luck right now. Young Master possesses Twin Martial Souls and Wushuang talent. Given time, he will surely lead us back to the pinnacle of the Soul Master World."
Tai Nuo, his voice trembling with tears, cried out, "Dad, wake up! So what if Tang San has Twin Martial Souls? Yang Podi is already Level 99. He even defeated Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall Empire. You could say he's stronger than Tang Chen back then. Is it even possible for Tang San's Soul Power to catch up with Yang Podi?"
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed in admiration. In terms of reputation and strength, Yang Podi was now undoubtedly the strongest person in the world, and even the Spirit Hall Empire had to avoid his sharp edge.
When the Four Single-Attribute Clans broke away from the Clear Sky Sect, they were as close as brothers. Now, only ten years later, two of them are at their zenith, while the other two are like candles in the wind.
At this moment, Bai He suddenly spoke up, " Tai Nuo, do you think that given our current situation, Heavenly Pursuit Academy can still accommodate us, or rather, accept us?"
Upon hearing this, Tai Ruo immediately shut his mouth and remained silent. In recent years, it wasn't that no other forces had sought refuge with the Heavenly Pursuit Academy; on the contrary, there were many such forces.
However, Heavenly Pursuit Academy has extremely strict requirements for all its members. Anyone who decides to join Heavenly Pursuit Academy must swear an oath with their Martial Soul, promising never to participate in any battles in the Soul Master World again. If they break their oath, they will either be unable to make any progress in their lives or face the pursuit of Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo from the Heavenly Pursuit Academy.
In short, it's difficult to join Heavenly Pursuit Academy, and it's even more difficult to leave.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly asked Bai He, "Clan Chief Bai He, what's the situation with Xiao San now? Is there any news about him on Sea God Island?"
Bai He shook his head. "Ever since I parted ways with the young master and the others, I haven't received any news from them. All news from Sea God Island is impossible to get out."
At this moment, everyone fell silent again. Tang San and his group, on whom everyone had placed high hopes, were now out of contact, and the pursuers behind them could arrive at any time. The situation was extremely dangerous.
Tang San is almost back; the book is entering its final battle of the gods.
