Tang Xiao
Yang Xiong didn't even know how he got back home. He felt that his two teachers had shown different sides of themselves, which had deeply shaken him.
As the founder of the Body Sect, establishing it felt a bit too much like a matter of course for him. He hadn't considered the various issues that might arise.
Especially in the future, the internal affairs of the Body Sect would become complex. Leaving it to the next Sect Leader would likely be a huge mess and a very difficult problem to handle.
Just as Yang Xiong was lost in thought, Lin Gong arrived at Yang Xiong's house.
It was the first time Lin Gong had seen Yang Xiong looking so lost. He couldn't help but ask, "Little Xiong, what's wrong? Why do you seem to have more worries than me, an old man?"
Yang Xiong remained silent for a long time before finally voicing the concerns in his heart.
Lin Gong looked at him like he was an idiot, his eyes filled with disdain.
"You Little Xiongzi, what are you thinking? In the Body Sect, whether it's me or Yang Wudi and the others, the fact that we're willing to follow you means we've entrusted our lives, and even the lives of our families, to you. How can you have such wild thoughts?"
"Whether as a Soul Master or as the leader of a top Sect, what exactly are you thinking? What is your goal? Do you want the Body Sect to last for eternity, or do you want your descendants to dominate the world, or what level do you want to reach yourself?"
"Compared to these, what Yang Wudi and the others hope for is a good backer for their families, a good cultivation environment, so that even if something goes wrong, their lineage can continue."
Hearing this, Yang Xiong suddenly felt enlightened.
The Sect had just been established, what was the point of thinking so much?
And Yang Xiong's own goal on the path of a Soul Master was not the so-called Limit Douluo, but becoming a God at level 100.
If he could become a God at level 100, he would have eternal life. Whether it was his descendants or the Sect, wouldn't he be the one in charge of everything? Weren't these just secondary things?
Seeing Yang Xiong return to normal, Lin Gong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little Xiong, what are your plans for the relocation of the Body Sect? How much longer do we have to wait?"
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking, "I still need to wait for someone at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Inform Niu Gao and Bai He that the Agility Clan and the Defense Clan can arrange for some people to occupy Thunder Valley in advance and start preparing for the Sect's planning."
"Also, the cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect needs to be renegotiated. Our Body Sect will invest a maximum of one-fourth of our manpower and resources in cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The more important thing now is the establishment of our own Sect."
"The location of Thunder Valley is not simple. Many people should be paying attention, and even the Spirit Hall will be secretly watching. We are already considered mortal enemies with the Spirit Hall, so we must be especially careful, otherwise it will be easy for the Spirit Hall to exploit loopholes."
A hint of doubt appeared on Lin Gong's face. "The Spirit Hall has gone through two major battles. Do they still have the energy to interfere with our Body Sect's affairs? I'm afraid they don't have that many experts left."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "The Spirit Hall still has experts. The Thousand Jun Douluo and Subduing Demon Douluo who appeared in the Heaven Dou Palace Coup are the sixth and seventh enshrined of the Spirit Hall. There are still five great enshrined before them. Those are the true foundation of the Spirit Hall. We must always be prepared for the Spirit Hall to resort to desperate measures."
After speaking, Yang Xiong seemed to remember something and directly took out two Storage Soul Tools from his person.
"Teacher Lin, although our Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will continue to cooperate in the future and are also an Offensive and Defensive Alliance, we cannot rely too much on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in terms of economy and resources. We need to have our own ways of making money."
"Take these resources first. They should be enough to meet the needs of establishing the Sect."
After communicating with Lin Gong, Yang Xiong immediately convened all the Elders of the Body Sect for a long talk, which included the distribution of tasks, the division of resources, and even some arrangements for Thunder Valley.
Everyone was surprised to see the Soul Tools Yang Xiong took out. They couldn't believe that Yang Xiong suddenly had so much money, and that he could even persuade the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to let most of the Body Sect's people leave while the two sides could still continue to cooperate. This was a bit incredible.
After waiting for several days, as expected, an extremely tall figure appeared at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
This person was dressed in black, even their head was covered, making them look extremely tall and their physique incredibly strong. Their entire body's skin was bronze-colored, looking extremely powerful.
When Yang Xiong arrived at Ning Fengzhi's place, both Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Bone Douluo looked extremely serious. Even Ning Rongrong was sitting next to Ning Fengzhi with an unusually serious expression.
After Yang Xiong sat down, the person who had arrived removed their black robe, revealing the image of a middle-aged man with a full beard, looking incredibly resolute.
Ning Fengzhi introduced, "Yang Xiong, this is the Sect Leader of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao, the renowned Howling Sky Douluo."
Yang Xiong quickly said, "Greetings, Senior Howling Sky Douluo."
Tang Xiao nodded, "Indeed, heroes emerge from the youth. Little friend Yang Xiong, you should know my purpose here."
At this moment, although Tang Xiao was just sitting there, he exuded an extremely resolute aura, like a towering mountain.
Tang Xiao and Sword Douluo were both Level 97 Titled Douluo, but their auras were completely different. Sword Douluo's aura was incredibly sharp, like a sword, while Tang Xiao's was more steady, symbolizing unparalleled strength.
Yang Xiong smiled, "With Howling Sky Douluo visiting in person, I naturally understand your purpose. However, this matter concerns the overall situation of the Soul Master world, so I hope Howling Sky Douluo will also agree to one condition of mine."
Tang Xiao's face darkened, "Could it be that you want to use this information to leverage my Clear Sky Sect? My Clear Sky Sect will not negotiate with anyone, nor will we yield to anyone."
Yang Xiong shook his head, "Senior, you are overthinking. I merely hope that the Clear Sky Sect will re-emerge. Isn't this what your Clear Sky Sect has been pursuing all along?"
Tang Xiao was silent for a moment before speaking, "My Clear Sky Sect has an agreement with the Spirit Hall not to re-emerge. Otherwise, the agreement from back then will be void, and the Clear Sky Sect will face the wrath of the Spirit Hall."
Yang Xiong smiled, "What kind of situation is it now? Who still cares about that agreement from back then? The Spirit Hall has continuously attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. Now the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is severely damaged, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family has been annihilated. If the Clear Sky Sect still doesn't re-emerge at this time and allows the Spirit Hall to act so recklessly, I'm afraid they will unify the entire Soul Master world sooner or later."
"If it really comes to that point, I'm afraid the Clear Sky Sect won't have to think about re-emerging anymore. You'll only be able to stay in your ancestral land for the rest of your lives."
Tang Xiao shook his head, "Whether the Clear Sky Sect re-emerges is our own decision. We don't need an outsider like you to say anything. Could it be that you want to use that information to leverage my Clear Sky Sect?"
Yang Xiong said, "Of course not. Even if the Clear Sky Sect doesn't re-emerge, this information will naturally be given to you. As for whether you can do it, that's your business."
"Oh, and I can also give you another piece of information. Perhaps you'll be even more interested?"
Tang Xiao's face sank, "What information do you have that could be more important than my grandfather's location?"
Yang Xiong shook his head, "Tang Chen's information might be important, but the information I'm giving is even more crucial. It even relates to the reason why your Clear Sky Sect has fallen to this state."
"What information are you talking about? Why does it relate to the current situation of our Clear Sky Sect?" Tang Xiao also showed a hint of confusion at this moment.
Yang Xiong's expression also became serious at this moment, "As everyone knows, the fundamental reason for the great battle between your Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall back then was that Haotian Douluo Tang Hao killed the former Pope Qian Xunji. But what if this matter was a conspiracy from beginning to end?"
Tang Xiao was immediately shocked, "Yang Xiong, what are you talking about? What do you know? Was there some hidden truth about what happened back then?"
Yang Xiong nodded, "I recently received some information and have some new deductions. Back then, Tang Hao encountered the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, leading two Titled Douluo in an encirclement. Tang Hao was exceptionally brave, defeating the two Titled Douluo with the might of the Clear Sky Hammer and severely injuring Qian Xunji."
"After Qian Xunji returned to the Spirit Hall, it was more than a month later that the news of his death from severe injuries spread. Have you ever thought about it? With the strength of the Spirit Hall, they have a large number of healing-type Soul Saints. How severe must the injuries be to require continuous treatment for a month and still result in death? Perhaps even Tang Hao didn't think about this question."
Tang Xiao's face was incredibly gloomy at this moment, "What exactly do you want to say? Is there some other hidden truth about what happened to Brother Hao?"
Yang Xiong smiled, "Actually, the problem is very simple. Tang Hao only severely injured Qian Xunji back then. The one who truly killed Qian Xunji was not Tang Hao, but other personnel within the Spirit Hall."
"Otherwise, with Qian Daoliu's strength back then, it's impossible for his only son to be killed and him not personally seek revenge."
"And the Spirit Hall perfectly utilized Qian Xunji's death, using the death of a Pope to drag the entire Clear Sky Sect down, launching a massive pursuit of the then-rising Haotian Douluo, and even forcing the Clear Sky Sect into seclusion with their strength. From beginning to end, besides losing a severely injured Pope, the Spirit Hall actually gained immense benefits and even developed rapidly in the past nearly twenty years."
Both Tang Xiao and Ning Fengzhi and the others were greatly shocked at this moment, not expecting Yang Xiong to say such words. One must know that back then, the Clear Sky Sect was the number one sect in the world, far surpassing the current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in strength.
Tang Xiao roared, "This is impossible! You are deliberately talking nonsense to make our Clear Sky Sect enemies with the Spirit Hall."
Yang Xiong shook his head, "Do I need to talk nonsense? Haven't your Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall been great enemies for a long time? Why would I fabricate such a situation?"
"Furthermore, whether Tang Hao killed Qian Xunji or not, you can ask Tang Hao about the situation on the battlefield back then."
Tang Xiao's face was ashen, "Qian Xunji is Qian Daoliu's only son. Qian Daoliu would not allow anyone else to kill Qian Xunji."
Yang Xiong shook his head, "Others might not, but what about Bibi Dong? Bibi Dong could be said to be the biggest beneficiary of that incident back then. Moreover, Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji have a daughter, who is Qian Renxue from the Heaven Dou Palace Coup this time."
"You should all have some understanding of Bibi Dong's style of doing things over the years. This person is not only extremely overbearing in her dealings but also very ruthless. To improve the strength of Spirit Hall, she will stop at nothing."
"Spirit Hall back then could be said to be fair and just, but after so many years of development under Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall, apart from its ambition and harboring evil, is completely different from how it was back then. You should have also heard about the rampant misdeeds of Spirit Hall's current personnel. These are all implicitly approved by Bibi Dong."
...
After hearing Yang Xiong's description, everyone fell silent. All of Yang Xiong's deductions were very clear, and even had some corroborating evidence. And everything indicated that Tang Hao killing Qian Xunji back then was not that simple.
Tang Xiao was silent for a long time before speaking, "I will naturally confirm the matter from back then with my brother Hao. What I want to know now is the whereabouts of my grandfather."
"If we can confirm that Spirit Hall's actions back then were a conspiracy, and also confirm the whereabouts of my grandfather, the Clear Sky Sect will truly emerge and make Spirit Hall pay the price for what they did back then."
Yang Xiong nodded, "Of course. Spirit Hall owes the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect thousands of lives, and owes the Clear Sky Sect even more."
"Actually, I only occasionally discovered Tang Chen's specific location. Even Tang Hao should have seen him. That person is none other than the Slaughter King of Slaughter City."
Tang Xiao immediately roared, "Kid, don't slander our Clear Sky Sect. My grandfather is upright and honorable. How could he be someone as evil as the Slaughter King?"
Yang Xiong shook his head, "Things are unpredictable. I only learned of this occasionally. If you have doubts, you can just let Tang Hao go and confirm it. Tang Hao should be able to enter and exit Slaughter City freely."
