Tang Yuehua left in a storm of anger and resentment. Not only did she fail to retrieve the soul bone, she even suffered a bellyful of frustration. From the day she was born until today, she had never been this furious.
"Second Brother! Second Brother! You father and son pair really never give me a moment of peace! One blindly worships that fraud Yu Xiaogang as a teacher, and the other one… forget it! Enough!"Tang Yuehua stomped down the mountain, fuming.
Zhou Sidong stood at the highest point of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, watching Tang Yuehua depart by carriage. From the look of it, the mistress of Yuexuan was genuinely enraged.
"Tang Yuehua left?" Zhu Zhuqing walked over.
"She left." Zhou Sidong nodded.
"I saw her face full of anger. Even the esteemed Meng Shenji barely dared talk to her." Zhu Zhuqing frowned at Zhou Sidong. "Don't tell me… more trouble?"
"Haotian Sect."Zhou Sidong let out a helpless sigh. This time, the Haotian Sect definitely wasn't going to let things slide.
"Oh heavens…"Zhu Zhuqing slapped her forehead. She knew it — the former number-one sect in the continent wasn't given that title for nothing.
"Do we need to write a letter to inform Mother?" Zhu Zhuqing quickly asked.
Something this big had to be discussed with Bibi Dong.
"Write it. As long as Haotian Sect dares to come—one comes, I kill one. Two come, I kill a pair. I'll keep killing until they stop!"Zhou Sidong crushed the bluestone beneath his feet into powder, anger flashing across his face.
Clearly it was Tang Hao who wanted to kill him first, yet somehow he had become the unreasonable one! And Tang Yuehua even tried to forcefully take the soul bone from him, talking about how he shouldn't fear Haotian Sect coming.
Sorry—Zhou Sidong truly wasn't afraid!
That night, a letter flew out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy toward Spirit Hall at extreme speed.
Night in Heaven Dou City was silent.Only Yuexuan was lively.
"BANG!"
A middle-aged man who resembled Tang Hao by eighty to ninety percent slammed the table and stood up. Looking at Tang Hao, who looked like a soulless husk, his heart ached beyond words.
"Yuehua, are you sure that's exactly what Zhou Sidong said?"The man's tone was serious.
"Yes… Zhou Sidong even said as long as our Haotian Sect dares cause trouble for him—one comes, he kills one, two come…"Tang Yuehua trailed off because she noticed her elder brother's expression had darkened, murderous intent swirling in his eyes.
"Two come, he kills a pair… is that so?"The man's fury was like lava about to erupt, unable to calm.
"Our Haotian Sect has been in seclusion for years. Have we really fallen so low that a thirteen-year-old brat dares trample on us?"His rage soared, then he turned toward Tang Hao."Second Brother, rest assured. This matter — your big brother will handle it for you!"
Hearing this, Tang Hao's cloudy eyes lit up for the first time in many years.For so long… he had forgotten what familial warmth felt like.
Tears streamed down his face as he threw himself into his brother's arms, sobbing as if releasing years of agony.
Tang Yuehua smiled with relief at the heartwarming scene… but her joy didn't last. Something felt wrong; she hesitated, then finally spoke.
"Big Brother… Zhou Sidong's background is complicated."
"Isn't he just some kid who was found and raised? His parents work in the Heaven Dou Spirit Hall. His teacher is Jiangmo Douluo."Tang Xiao's understanding went no further.
"Big Brother, Zhou Sidong's martial soul… isn't the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider. It is… the Angel…"Tang Hao said with lingering fear.
"Angel…"Tang Xiao's pupils shrank. "You also said before that when Zhou Sidong used his martial soul fusion skill, his strength neared a Titled Douluo's, and he manifested four pairs of wings. The previous Spirit Hall Pope possessed a six-winged Angel. Ever since Qian Xunji was severely injured and died at your hands, Spirit Hall hasn't produced a successor. Second Brother… Are you saying this kid has a connection to Qian Xunji?"
"The domain he used was definitely the Angel Domain. Qian Xunji has been dead over ten years — but I'd still recognize that power!"Tang Hao clenched his lone fist, hatred burning uncontrollably.
"If he's truly Qian Xunji's son… then that soul bone is as good as gone."
Tang Xiao sighed and turned to Tang Yuehua."Yuehua, I'm guessing Zhou Sidong still has the soul bone. He never sold it. That was just an excuse."
Hearing this, Tang Yuehua calmed down and thought carefully."When I left Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I was so angry I only wanted to get Second Brother's soul bone back… but now that I think about it, the soul bone is likely still with him. Worst case… he already absorbed it."
"What should I do then? That soul bone is the Haotian Sect's ancestral inheritance! Now it's been taken by an outsider… Big Brother, Third Sister — I, Tang Hao, am a sinner of the Haotian Sect!"Tang Hao fell to his knees, crying bitterly.
Losing such a crucial soul bone was like thunder striking him. He wanted nothing more than to rush to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and rip the soul bone out of Zhou Sidong's body!
"Second Brother, get up first."Tang Xiao quickly helped the crippled Tang Hao up, sighing heavily."The Haotian Sect absolutely will not let this go. No matter if he belongs to Spirit Hall or Qian Xunji's son — if he swallowed our Haotian Sect's treasure, he must spit it back out!"
"Big Brother… unless… what if we kidnap his parents and force him to hand over the soul bone?"Tang Hao suddenly raised his head.
"Second Brother! That's no different from banditry!"Tang Yuehua immediately objected.
"Second Brother, I also disagree. Think carefully — if you kidnap his parents, even ignoring Zhou Sidong's reaction, I've heard he has ties with the Heaven Dou royal family. If you do this, you'll never set foot in Heaven Dou again."Tang Xiao's tone was grim — angry yet helpless toward what his once-brilliant brother had become.
Haotian Sect, once the number-one sect, once home to the greatest genius of the century… reduced to this.
"Zhou Sidong temporarily elevated his power to Titled Douluo level and defeated you, Second Brother. If you kidnap his parents… even I and Third Sister may not be able to protect you."Tang Xiao sighed, patting Tang Hao's shoulder before leaving.
His name was Tang Xiao — the current Sect Master, eldest sibling of Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua.
After he left, Tang Hao smashed the table with a roar, trembling all over.
"I, Tang Hao, roamed the continent for decades, and now a yellow-mouthed brat humiliates me! My son shamed, and even I can't stand by! My broken leg — I swear, I will never let this hatred go!"Tang Hao vowed silently.
"Second Brother, please don't do anything foolish…"Tang Yuehua held his hand tightly.
"…I know."Tang Hao turned and left.
At that moment, Tang Hao seemed like a completely different person. Blow after blow had changed his heart.
——
Ever since the Strength Clan was annihilated, Zhou Sidong had stayed within Heaven Dou Royal Academy, rarely going out — barely even visiting Qian Renxue.
The Heaven Dou imperial family had made major progress in investigating the massacre of the Strength Clan. They were doing everything they could to identify the true culprit. Slaughtering people openly in the capital was the same as slapping the Heaven Dou Empire in the face.
Recently, the whole Heaven Dou City was shrouded in tension. All major factions were on edge — just like Ning Fengzhi warned in Shrek Academy. The destruction of the Strength Clan rang alarms across the continent.
Meanwhile, the first batch of hidden weapons purchased from Tang San had already been delivered to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. A second batch was being built at full speed.
Ning Fengzhi was extremely satisfied with the power and unique utility of these hidden weapons — that five million gold soul coins were well-spent.
On Spirit Hall's side, all kinds of grenades were being manufactured at full capacity: stick grenades, steel-ball grenades, fragmentation grenades — all based on the blueprints provided by Zhou Sidong. Because of him, countless variants were invented.
Even ordinary people could grievously injure a careless soul master. And grenades crafted from rare metals like Deep Sea Silver or Cold-Heart Iron Essense… could wound even a Soul Sage.
That day, a letter from Heaven Dou Royal Academy reached Bibi Dong's hands.
Inside the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong sat on her throne.As soon as she opened the letter, her brows tightened — anger boiling beneath the surface as she read.
"Tang Hao… you go too far! I just left Heaven Dou City, and he immediately targeted my son! He even colluded with the Strength Clan to assassinate him! Fine. Very fine. The Strength Clan is gone — the next is Haotian Sect! I originally planned to deal with Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan after the tournament, but since Haotian Sect is impatient—good. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"Bibi Dong slammed the armrest, then summoned Yue Guan and sent the letter to Qian Daoliu.
Back then, the previous Haotian Sect Master Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu made an agreement:
Spirit Hall would not set foot on Haotian Sect during Qian Daoliu's lifetime.
That was the only reason Haotian Sect survived back then.
When Yue Guan delivered the letter to the Elder Hall, the moment Qian Daoliu read it, the entire hall trembled from his aura. Yue Guan kept his head low, not daring to meet his eyes.
Qian Daoliu finally spoke:"I did promise Tang Chen that Spirit Hall would not step into Haotian Sect. We cannot go to them… but that does not mean we cannot lure them out."
"Yes."Yue Guan bowed and fled the hall.
Qian Daoliu sighed deeply."Tang Chen, we haven't seen each other in decades. I don't know if you ever took that final step. Now your descendants want to kill mine… even bullying a thirteen-year-old with the power of a Titled Douluo. It's not that I don't honor our promise — your grandson has gone too far."
When Yue Guan returned to the Pope's Palace and relayed Qian Daoliu's words, Bibi Dong stood up immediately.
"Good. That is enough. Yue Guan, Gui Mei — both of you will take action. As long as anyone from Haotian Sect dares step out of their mountain, no matter who it is — kill them."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Both vanished to prepare.
With the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament approaching, Bibi Dong hadn't wanted complications — but Tang Hao forced her hand.
Now that Qian Daoliu had spoken, they just had to avoid stepping onto Haotian Sect territory. Outside? Fair game.
It was time to settle the decades of grudges between Spirit Hall and Haotian Sect.
Days passed, and the investigation of the Strength Clan concluded:It was caused by humans.As for who — unknown.
The fire had already consumed everything when people discovered it. No traces remained.
Gui Mei and Yue Guan had long arrived near the academy. Their orders were simple:If Haotian Sect dared show up, they would join Zhou Sidong and kill the intruders.
——
Inside Haotian Sect.
The atmosphere was heavy.In the grand council hall, Sect Master Tang Xiao and five elderly elders sat stiffly, faces full of anger.
"That arrogant brat! Does he think Haotian Sect is a soft persimmon he can pinch at will?"A middle-aged man slammed the table."Sect Master, let me retrieve the ancestral soul bone! Even if he already absorbed it — I'll tear it out with my own hands!"
"Seventh Brother, we must plan carefully."An elder tried to calm him.
"Plan what? Think what? If you ask me, we should all go down the mountain together! Pressure Heaven Dou Royal Academy and force Zhou Sidong to hand over the soul bone!"
This fiery elder ranked seventh among the Haotian Elders—the infamous Spray Douluo.
"The ancestral soul bone must be retrieved. That bastard Tang Hao lost to a mere child and was mocked publicly… truly disgraceful."The elder sighed, ignoring Tang Xiao's expression.
"But… if we step out now, Spirit Hall will notice. Then all factions will accuse Haotian Sect of breaking its vow. That we cannot allow."He stressed again.
Power comes first.Reputation comes second.A sect must always consider gains and losses.
And Tang Hao losing the sect's ancestral soul bone? That was unacceptable.
"Zhou Sidong… suspected to be Qian Xunji's son…"The elder muttered repeatedly.
Meanwhile, back at the academy—Zhou Sidong sneezed several times.
"Feels like trouble is coming…"He rubbed his nose uneasily.
At that same moment, atop Haotian Sect—
The white-haired elder slowly stood.Everyone, including Tang Xiao, stood up instantly.
"Tang Hao has disgraced the sect. I now announce that Tang—"
