Chapter 65: That kid's achievements are all thanks to our Tang family.
"An illusion, it must be an illusion!"
Tang Hao muttered in a low voice, quickly casting that abstract thought out of his mind.
Ah Yin had long since been sacrificed, and the kid named Jiang Li was only a mere Soul Saint a few years ago.
No matter how terrifying his talent was, in the eyes of him, the Clear Sky Douluo, he was still just an ant.
And in his view, all of Jiang Li's achievements were due to the glory of their Tang Family.
Having such an outstanding Disciple as his Son to inherit the mantle, and relying on his beloved wife's clan to complete the evolution of his Martial Soul!
Moreover, for a Loose Cultivator to gain the qualification to join the Clear Sky Sect, the favor owed to the Tang Family was far from repaid!
Thinking of this, Tang Hao's expression softened slightly, and a confident smile even curved the corner of his mouth.
Since this "free nanny" Jiang Li was so capable and had even cultivated Little San into a Soul King, he, as the father, naturally had to go and "inspect" the results immediately.
Coincidentally, he could also display his majesty as a Clear Sky Douluo in front of Jiang Li, letting them know who their true backer was!
"Yuehua, since Little San is so promising, I'll go see him now."
"As for Little San's matter of returning to the clan, now is not the time. When the right moment comes, I, the sinner, will let Little San return to the Clear Sky Sect with sincerity."
Tang Hao suddenly stood up, and the dense aura on his body, mixed with the stench of low-quality alcohol and aged sweat, instantly dispersed the originally light fragrance in the boudoir.
"Second Brother, wait..."
Tang Yuehua opened her mouth, looking at her Second Brother's disheveled appearance, which was even worse than a roadside beggar, and frowned almost imperceptibly.
She wanted to advise her Second Brother to first wash up, shave his beard, and change into clean and respectable clothes before seeing his child.
After all, for a father and son reunion, the father couldn't appear so down-and-out in front of Little San, could he?
But Tang Hao didn't give her a chance to speak.
"Don't worry. As long as the strength is strong enough, appearance is merely skin deep. True powerhouses never care about such empty fame!"
Tang Hao's figure flashed, turning into a streak of black light and instantly vanishing into the night of Heaven Dou City.
Leaving behind a room full of sour smells and a helpless, hesitant Tang Yuehua.
...
Heaven Dou City, North Side.
The mansion of the Strength Clan was still brightly lit, with the sounds of hammering echoing one after another.
As the most loyal affiliated Sect of the Clear Sky Sect in the past, even after being abandoned by their master for so many years, Tai Tan still maintained his original way of doing things, even enshrining the plaque of the Clear Sky Sect deep within the mansion.
Moreover, now that their Young Lord Tang San had entrusted them with crafting intricate items like Hidden Weapons, what reason did they have to be lazy?
Suddenly, a terrifying aura of the Slaughter God Domain descended from the sky, enveloping the entire mansion!
"Who dares to trespass into the Strength Clan!"
Clan Chief Tai Tan, who was guiding the Disciples in the forging room, was greatly alarmed and rushed out of the door.
However, when he saw the figure standing atop the courtyard wall, shrouded in a black robe and emitting a familiar, domineering aura, illuminated by the firelight, Tai Tan's originally angry expression instantly froze, then transformed into extreme ecstasy and trembling.
Without any hesitation, there was a 'thud' sound, and Tai Tan's knees heavily hit the ground as he performed the grandest bow to the sloppy figure!
"Master, you... you have finally returned!"
"This old Clan Servants Tai Tan... pays his respects to Master!"
Tears streamed down Tai Tan's face, like an old dog abandoned for many years finally hearing its master's call.
Tang Hao looked down at the kneeling Tai Tan, a flicker of satisfaction crossing his eyes.
Indeed, even after so many years, these Clan Servantss remained fiercely loyal to him.
"Get up."
"I came this time because I heard Little San is here?"
Hearing his Master inquire about the Young Lord, Tai Tan quickly wiped his tears and respectfully reported: "Reporting to Master, the Young Lord did indeed reside with this old slave before. But just a few days ago, Mr. Jiang Li took the Young Lord and Miss Xiao Wu out of the city to hunt souls."
"Oh? Hunting souls?"
Tang Hao raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, the Young Lord's talent is extraordinary; he has already passed the Bottleneck of level fifty. Mr. Jiang Li said he is taking him to obtain his fifth Soul Ring."
"Furthermore, before leaving, Mr. Jiang Li mentioned that after the Young Lord obtains the Soul Ring, he will take the Young Lord to the Star Luo Empire to prepare to reintegrate the three clans—Min, Po, and Yu—and bring them all under his command, to serve as the Young Lord's future foundation!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's face, which had been calm as an ancient well, instantly showed a look of pleasant surprise.
Integrating the four great Sects?
"Good, good, good! What a Jiang Li!"
He couldn't help but laugh loudly, "I didn't expect that this Jiang Li not only has good strength but also a very sharp mind! He actually knows that our Clear Sky Sect currently needs these wings, and he is proactively taking Little San to subdue the old subordinates!"
In Tang Hao's 'top Sect slave' mindset, Jiang Li's actions were simply the height of loyalty to the Clear Sky Sect.
After all, Tang San was his son, Tang Hao's direct Bloodline of the Clear Sky Sect.
If Jiang Li helped Tang San establish a faction, wouldn't that be equivalent to helping the Clear Sky Sect rebuild its external forces?
"It seems letting him take care of Little San back then was indeed the right decision."
Tang Hao's evaluation of Jiang Li rose another notch in his heart.
He had originally planned to stay here for a few days, waiting for his son to return for a reunion.
But now that he knew Jiang Li was taking his son to do important business, he felt that if he, as the father, showed up rashly, he might disrupt their plans or even attract the attention of the Spirit Hall.
"Since Little San has Jiang Li protecting him and is busy working for the Sect's great cause, it would be inconvenient for me to disturb them."
"Tai Tan, remember, what I came here for today must be buried in your stomach. No one is allowed to speak of it! If even half a word leaks, you will be held responsible!"
Tang Hao said solemnly.
"This old Clan Servants obeys! This old slave guarantees with his life that he will absolutely not leak the Master's whereabouts!"
Tai Tan knocked his head on the ground with resounding thuds, appearing extremely loyal.
Just then, he seemed to recall something and spoke tremblingly, "Master, under the assistance of Mr. Jiang Li, the Young Lord's Soul Rings have reached the achievement of a Thousand-Year second ring and a Ten-Thousand-Year fourth ring."
"Previously, people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Imperial Family, and even the Spirit Hall wanted to seize the secret technique belonging to the Young Lord, but Mr. Jiang Li temporarily blocked them all."
"This old slave is worried..."
Although Tai Tan was extremely loyal to the Tang Family members, as the Clan Chief of the Strength Clan, how could he not desire the method for transcending levels to absorb Soul Rings?
He naturally dared not covet the complete secret technique, but if his Good Eldest Grandson Tai Long could receive a favor from his Master and absorb Soul Rings beyond his level, then perhaps their Strength Clan might welcome a Titled Douluo truly belonging to them.
