Chapter 64: The Plan to Reclaim the Three Clans; Tang Hao Appears
Facing Tang San's thirsting gaze for knowledge, Jiang Li slowly recounted his plan, calculating almost every step of it.
"Little San, among the four former subordinate clans of the Clear Sky Sect, except for the Strength Clan which has always stayed in Heaven Dou City, the other three clans suffered heavy blows from the Spirit Hall after the Clear Sky Sect closed its mountain gates and expelled your father to take the blame back then."
"In the end, they all migrated within the borders of the Star Luo Empire."
"The Defense Clan is currently stationed in Longxing City of the Star Luo Empire, barely making a living by relying on their excellent construction skills; the Speed Clan's base is extremely hidden and they are also the most miserable clan, but Master once chatted with Tai Tan and pried their specific location from that old servant's mouth."
"As for the final Breaking Clan..." A glint flashed in Jiang Li's eyes, "They are located in Yufeng City in the south of the Star Luo Empire. That place is a den of dragons and snakes, and it's also the base of the Wind Sword Sect, one of the lower four Sects, and it's not too far from the Speed Clan."
Listening to his Master reveal these secrets as if they were his own family treasures, a feeling of admiration welled up in Tang San's heart.
So Master had already started laying the groundwork for today's step many years ago?
Furthermore, Tang San now had a thorough understanding of the events from back then.
Truly what an unfilial father; not only did he plot for his own mother's Soul Ring, but he even screwed over his own Sect and subordinate clans to that extent.
It's truly a family misfortune!
If such a situation had occurred in the Tang Sect of Bashu from his past life, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he'd be subjected to a thousand cuts.
How could such a monster be worthy of continuing to lay hands on his gentle and considerate mother?
A " seeking ones own death " warning!
The corner of Jiang Li's mouth curled into a confident arc as he raised a finger.
"As for which clan to go to first..."
"The first choice is, naturally, the Speed Clan."
"The Speed Clan?" Tang San was somewhat puzzled.
"That's right." Jiang Li nodded and dropped a piece of information that shocked Tang San, "Because the Speed Clan's Clan Chief, Bai He, in terms of seniority, you have to call him Great-Uncle."
"Great-Uncle?!" Tang San's eyes widened.
"Exactly, this blood relation is the best stepping stone in your hand." Jiang Li guided him patiently, "More importantly, although the Speed Clan's Martial Soul, the Spine-tailed Swift, possesses extreme speed, it has a fatal flaw: its attack power is almost zero."
"This situation has led to their awkward status in the Soul Master World and their difficult survival."
Speaking of this, Jiang Li took out the Hidden Weapons Tang San had given him when he first became his disciple from his storage soul tool and smiled, "The Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the Silent Sleeve Arrow can perfectly make up for their lack of attack power. With the foundation of being relatives, as long as you maneuver a little, this clan will undoubtedly be brought into the fold."
Tang San suddenly understood and nodded excitedly, "Master's brilliant insight! Once we've recruited the Speed Clan, our intelligence network can be spread out instantly!"
"A teachable child."
Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction, then changed the subject, "After dealing with Bai He, the following Defense Clan will be of no concern."
"Although that Niu Gao is known for unparalleled defense, he has a straightforward and honest character with not much of his own opinion. When the time comes, we'll bring Bai He along to visit, and with the strength we demonstrate, recruiting Niu Gao will just be a matter of going with the flow."
"Then... what about the final Breaking Clan?"
Tang San asked curiously.
At the mention of Yang Wudi, the smile on Jiang Li's face became somewhat subtle. He gently rubbed his knuckles, making a crisp "crack" sound.
"Yang Wudi is a man of fierce and extreme character, someone who only sticks to his own rigid logic."
"Furthermore, the Clear Sky Sect was both a great benefactor and a great enemy to him back then. His resentment towards the Clear Sky Sect is also the deepest. Trying to persuade him with words alone will likely be very difficult."
Jiang Li looked up ahead, his tone becoming exceptionally menacingly 'kind',"
"If we advise him kindly and he's willing to submit, then naturally everyone is happy. But if this old thing doesn't know what's good for him and insists on putting on some 'better to break than to bend' stinking airs..."
"Master also knows a thing or two about fisticuffs."
After hearing Jiang Li's analysis, Tang San already had some general ideas about the Breaking, Defense, and Speed Clans.
However, what satisfied him the most was naturally Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan.
It's really great that he's dissatisfied with the Clear Sky Sect. In the future, when I seek revenge against that evil Sect, won't I have another great general on my side?
...
Meanwhile, at the Moon Pavilion in Heaven Dou City.
A man shrouded from head to toe in a black robe avoided all eyes and stealthily arrived in Tang Yuehua's boudoir.
"Who is it?"
The sudden appearance of a strange man in the room gave Tang Yuehua quite a fright.
By the dim, flickering light in the room, the black-robed man slowly raised his hand and stiffly removed the hood from his head.
What was revealed was a weather-beaten, stubbled face with a sickly sallow complexion, carrying deep decadence and exhaustion.
This familiar smell, even mixed with the scent of cheap, low-quality alcohol and aged sweat, was enough for Tang Yuehua to recognize the visitor's identity after a deep breath.
"Hao... Brother Hao? Is... is it you?"
Tang Yuehua covered her lips in disbelief, her beautiful eyes instantly reddening.
It's only been a few years, so how did that once high-spirited Clear Sky Douluo, who struck terror into the entire Soul Master World, turn into this wretched, beggar-like state?
Their eyes met, and Tang Yuehua's originally elegant and harmonious temperament vanished in an instant.
Ignoring how dirty and smelly Tang Hao was, she threw herself into his arms and began to cry with tearful eyes.
"Second Brother... how did you become like this... woo woo woo..."
Feeling his sister's body trembling violently in his arms, Tang Hao clumsily raised his large, calloused hand...
"There now, Yuehua. You're a grown woman and the Mistress of the Moon Pavilion, yet you still like to cry just like when you were a child."
Tang Yuehua cried for a long while before she finally managed to stop sobbing and pulled Tang Hao to sit down.
Looking at her second brother's miserable state, her heart was filled with mixed emotions. After talking for a long time, their conversation gradually turned to Tang San.
"Second Brother, have you seen Little San all these years?"
"He's already a Soul King now. Shouldn't we let him return to the Sect and acknowledge his ancestors soon?"
Hearing this, Tang Hao's eyes instantly lit up.
He hadn't expected that letting that Soul Saint kid teach his Son back then would give him such a huge surprise!
The reason he came to Heaven Dou City this time was indeed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father; after all, Heaven Dou City wasn't like Notting City before.
Here, it's a den of dragons and snakes.
Whether it was his Son's talent attracting assassinations from other forces or that rabbit's identity being discovered by others, both were things he couldn't accept.
Furthermore, the main reason Tang Hao appeared here was that lately, for some reason, he always felt like there was something green on his head...?
He was huffing and puffing outside to earn cultivation resources for his Son, but in his heart, he always felt a bit uneasy.
