Chapter 300: Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Emperor!
"Okay, after you go back, just go to the academy and find Dugu Bo or Ning Rongrong. Just say it was my promise." Hearing this, Tang Chuan was slightly taken aback. Looking at the unusual determination in Oscar's eyes, he didn't hesitate much and nodded.
Having received a positive reply, Oscar's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he nodded heavily: "Thank you!"
Tang Chuan didn't say anything more. The matter was settled, and he had more important things to do.
Then, he nodded slightly to Oscar, and then moved nimbly, landing on the broad, warm back of the Crimson King again, standing side by side with Xiao Rui'er.
"Now that you've absorbed the soul bone, leave this place of trouble as soon as possible."
"I have other important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
As his voice fell, the Crimson King let out a deep roar, and then its four hooves pounded fire, its massive body soaring into the sky, stirring up a blizzard.
"Until fate allows us to meet again."
Tang Chuan's voice came from the air, then became ethereal and indifferent.
The next moment, a crimson streak of light carried the two of them and disappeared at the boundary between the vast ice plain and the leaden gray sky, as if they had never existed.
...…
At the same time, in Heaven Dou City, at the stronghold of the Power Clan.
The heavy hall doors slowly closed behind Tang San, shutting out the noise from the outside world.
Inside the hall, the atmosphere was a hundred times more solemn than outside.
Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan, a burly man as strong as an iron tower, stood slightly bowed before Tang Hao. His usually imposing face was now filled with barely suppressed excitement, awe, and even a hint of barely perceptible grievance.
"Master! This old servant…this old servant has finally seen you again!" Titan's large, bell-like eyes were slightly red, and his voice was clearly choked with emotion.
As he spoke, he was about to kneel down.
For Titan and the Power Clan, Tang Hao's kindness in recognizing their talent years ago was deeply etched into their souls. Decades of separation and hardship had not diminished their loyalty.
Seeing this, Tang Hao reacted swiftly, grabbing Titan's arm to stop him from kneeling. Looking at his loyal former subordinate, a complex emotion flickered in his resolute eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Uncle Tai, you don't need to do this. These past years... you've all suffered. It's the Clear Sky Sect, and it's me, Tang Hao, who have wronged you."
"Master, you mustn't say that!" Titan shook his head vigorously, saying, "It is an honor for this old servant and the Power Clan to serve you again!"
When Tang Hao expressed his intention to have the Power Clan return to the Clear Sky Sect to fight against Spirit Hall, Titan agreed almost without hesitation.
"Rest assured, Master! The entire Power Clan will follow your lead! Those scum of Spirit Hall forced our Madam to her death, hunted you down, and now wreak havoc on the continent. Our Power Clan is their sworn enemy! Just give the order, Master, and my clansmen will die for you!"
This unwavering trust and support moved Tang San deeply.
It also warmed Tang Hao's heart, making him feel an even greater sense of responsibility.
However, when Tang Hao suggested that Titan lead the search for the other three single-attribute families, the Power Clan patriarch, who had just been so full of bravado, suddenly became serious and troubled.
Titan rubbed his hands together, his brows furrowing deeply. He sighed and said,
"Master, if it's about rallying the brothers to fight Spirit Hall to the death, I, Titan, will be the first to charge! But persuading the other three clans, especially the Yu Clan and the Po Clan, I'm afraid..."
He paused, glancing at Tang Hao's expression, before continuing,
"Perhaps it's easier to talk to Old White Bird of the Min Clan. After all, he's Master's maternal uncle, and the blood ties are still there. Although he's lived a hard life these past few years, and there's bound to be resentment, there's still room for negotiation for Master's sake."
"But..." Titan's tone shifted, becoming extremely heavy, "Old Rhinoceros of the Yu Clan, and Old Goat of the Po Clan, you know their tempers, Master!"
"Niu Gao, that guy, is stubborn and inflexible. Back when the sect closed down, his Yu clan suffered heavy losses, almost being wiped out by Spirit Hall. His resentment at being abandoned probably runs deeper than anyone else's! As for Yang Wudi..."
Titan's face even showed a hint of helplessness and apprehension at the mention of that name.
"That guy only cares about his medicine and guns. He's cold, stubborn, and inflexible!"
"He probably harbors the most resentment about what happened back then. In recent years, he's barely spoken to me or Bai He, focusing solely on his research, practically isolating himself from the outside world. Getting him to agree to return to the Clear Sky Sect is incredibly difficult, practically impossible!"
In the end, Titan shook his head repeatedly, clearly lacking confidence in persuading the two families.
"Master, it's not that this old servant is making excuses, but the rest is really difficult. Just thinking about how to talk to that old goat gives me a headache!"
As Titan finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the hall, broken only by the crackling of the charcoal in the brazier.
Tang San also sensed the difficulty and looked at his father.
However, Tang Hao's face didn't show much surprise, as if he had already anticipated Titan's reaction. He slowly raised his hand, stopping Titan's further complaints. A trace of sorrow flashed in his deep eyes, but more so, an undeniable determination.
"I understand your difficulties."
"Their resentment and injuries stem from the Clear Sky Sect and me. This debt must be repaid by me, Tang Hao, personally, and this burden must be borne by me personally."
"Don't worry, now that I'm here, I have my methods. You just need to prepare and take me to see them."
Looking at Tang Hao's unwavering gaze, Titan swallowed back the worry that had been on the tip of his tongue.
He understood the Tang Hao of the past, his indomitable spirit and sense of responsibility. Since he said he had a way, perhaps… there really was a glimmer of hope?
"Yes, Master!" Titan said no more, clasped his hands deeply, and respectfully said,
"This old servant will go and prepare, and then take you to see them!"
...…
The core area of the far north.
The scenery here was completely different from the outer areas. It was no longer simply a vast expanse of ice and snow, but a chilling, absolute stillness and majesty that seemed to freeze time itself.
The sky was a deep, icy blue, with massive glaciers like pillars supporting this frigid world. The air was thick with an intense concentration of ice elements, so dense that energy could condense into visible pale blue ice crystals that drifted down slowly.
Just as the Crimson King's enormous body, burning with dark red flames, carrying Tang Chuan and Xiao Rui'er, stepped into the absolute core of this far northern land,
an invisible, vast, and terrifying pressure, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattered the ancient silence of the place, spreading outwards in all directions!
Almost at the same instant the Crimson King and the Imperial Beast's aura descended, a violent roar, seemingly capable of shattering thousands of miles of glaciers, suddenly erupted from a towering ice peak, like the king of snow-capped mountains!
The sound waves rolled in like tangible shockwaves, sending snowflakes for miles around billowing into the sky!
Immediately afterward, the side of the ice peak facing them, its millennia-old ice wall, harder than refined steel, shattered with a deafening roar, countless massive ice chunks scattering like meteorites!
Amidst the swirling ice crystals and snowflakes, a colossal, suffocating figure, radiating overwhelming ferocity and icy aura, burst forth like a cannonball. It then crashed heavily onto the icy plain, causing the earth to tremble violently!
It was a giant ape-like soul beast, over thirty meters tall, its entire body covered in thick, white, rock-like fur, its muscles bulging, brimming with explosive power.
It was none other than Titan Snow Demon King, one of the three great kings of the far north!
At the same time, the previously pitch-black clouds suddenly rippled violently, and then, from the distant northern horizon, a layer of emerald green light instantly spread across the sky.
The dark sky transformed in an instant into emerald green, a translucent and alluring emerald green, its captivating color as if the high heavens had suddenly transformed into a giant emerald green gemstone.
"A three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff?! An imperial auspicious beast?!"
"What brings you to my far north?"
