The Tang Clan, a sect that has been completely ruined by the rise of soul tools.
However, this sect was founded by Tang Shenwang back then, and it has a great reputation in the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
In the next ten thousand years, under the planning of the Tang God King, it became the most powerful sect on the continent.
It is also one of the most crucial pieces in Tang Shenwang's influence on the entire Douluo Continent.
If only such a sect could be brought into the Sun Moon Empire.
This would be an extremely troublesome matter for Douluo Three Kingdoms, Shrek Academy, and even the high and mighty Tang God King.
"Stop trying to seduce people; Xiaoya will never join the Sun Moon Empire!"
Before Tang Ya could say anything, Bei Bei couldn't help but speak first.
"So noisy!"
Xu Tianming raised his hand, and invisible soul power rippled on his palm. Through a special means, it was conducted through the air and landed hard on Bei Bei's face.
Snap!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the dense forest.
Beibei staggered from the blow, and involuntarily fell to one side.
Having steadied her steps, Beibei finally managed to stand firm.
However, a bright red handprint appeared on his face, and half of his cheek immediately swelled up.
"Miss Tang Ya is an independent person; she has her own ideas."
Seeing Bei Bei's reddened eyes, Xu Tianming shook his hand and said coldly:
"If she doesn't want to, fine, but who do you think you are to make decisions for her?"
"you!"
Beibei covered her face, her expression still showing a hint of disbelief.
He had never been slapped like that before!
Three spirit rings flickered beneath her feet, and blue lightning once again enveloped her entire body. Bei Bei gritted her teeth and prepared to charge at Xu Tianming again.
"Beibei!"
Tang Ya shouted, then lowered her voice.
"Forget it, you're no match for him."
Upon hearing this, Beibei choked, and her aura immediately weakened.
Going up there would only get him beaten up by Xu Tianming and humiliated in front of Tang Ya; it wouldn't really do him any good.
"Hmm..."
Just then, Huo Yuhao, who was lying on the ground, finally let out the third soft groan from this place.
What happened?
Unlike Tang Ya and Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao genuinely had no idea what had happened.
Looking at Tang Ya, who was bowing her head and not saying a word, Bei Bei, whose arm was folded into an irregular shape and whose cheek was swollen, and Xu Tianming, who was crossing his arms, I could see...
For a moment, Huo Yuhao's mind went blank.
"Yuhao, I'm so glad you're alright."
Taking two steps forward, Xu Tianming patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and smiled:
"If you're not satisfied with your time at Shrek Academy, feel free to come to the Sun Moon Empire to find me anytime."
"Okay, Brother Xu."
Huo Yuhao nodded gratefully.
"In that case, I'll take my leave."
Xu Tianming turned to look at Tang Ya beside him.
"The same goes for Miss Tang Ya; our Sun Moon Empire welcomes you at any time."
After saying this, Xu Tianming cupped his hands in greeting to the two men, and without waiting for them to return the greeting, he headed towards the direction of leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.
After Xu Tianming's figure completely disappeared from their sight, the three of them exchanged a glance but remained silent.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
"Yuhao, I'm injured now, so it looks like I can't help you hunt for spirit rings."
In the end, it was Bei Bei who spoke first, giving Huo Yuhao a wry smile:
"Let's go back to Shrek Academy first."
"Once I recover from my injuries, I will definitely help you hunt down the most suitable spirit ring for you."
What interest does he have in helping people hunt for spirit rings right now?
Huo Yuhao nodded. He had just obtained the first ring of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, an unprecedented achievement that had lasted for a million years, and he didn't know how to explain it.
Beibei's words gave him room to maneuver.
"Let's go back to the academy first."
Tang Ya, who was standing to the side, finally raised her head. Her once pretty face was completely expressionless, and her complexion was frighteningly pale.
The three of them left the Star Dou Great Forest together, and didn't talk much along the way.
"Brother Tianmeng, what exactly happened?"
Huo Yuhao had no idea what had happened, so he could only ask Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his mind.
"What else could it be?"
The voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm rang out in Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness.
"Your brother Tianming must have noticed my burst of spiritual power, so he came to check on me."
"As a result, that human soul master named Beibei thought that he was the one who knocked you guys out, and then attacked you without even asking what happened."
"As a result, the other person stood there and let him hit him without moving, and he couldn't hurt him at all. His injuries were caused by the force of the recoil."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes widened immediately.
"Brother Tianming is that strong?"
"He is indeed very strong. His physical body is almost comparable to some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that are known for their physical strength."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm clearly knows more about soul beasts.
"The physical strength of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast... Brother Tianming is actually that powerful?"
After a moment of reflection, Huo Yuhao suddenly realized a blind spot.
"But even so, what about Sister Xiaoya?"
"I feel like something's off about her emotions too."
"Hey!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled.
"That little girl seemed to be from the Tang Clan, and then the Tang Clan was wiped out by the Iron Blood Sect."
Tianmeng Bingcan's voice clearly carried a hint of sarcasm.
"The Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have a friendship spanning ten thousand years, but Shrek Academy won't help the Tang Sect take revenge."
"ah?"
Huo Yuhao's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that the once number one sect on the continent, which his mother had mentioned, had long been destroyed.
Even more unexpectedly, Shrek Academy, which often appears alongside the Tang Sect in the story, refused to come to their aid.
"Your brother Tianming said that if you let your sister Xiaoya go to the Sun Moon Empire to develop, he will help the Tang Clan take revenge."
The voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm continued.
"Before your sister Xiaoya could say anything, Beibei directly spoke up to refuse on her behalf."
"The slap he received on the face was because of this; it was your brother Tianming who slapped him."
"Your brother Tianming also said that your sister Xiaoya is an independent individual, and it's not up to others to make decisions for her."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao fell silent.
He too carried the burden of a deep-seated blood feud.
His mother was killed by the wife of the White Tiger Duke, and he vowed to take revenge on the White Tiger Duke's lineage.
However, judging from Shrek Academy's indifference to the destruction of the Tang Sect, it seems that Shrek Academy is not as wonderful as the legends suggest.
"This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest has finally yielded some results."
Watching Huo Yuhao and the other two gradually disappear into the distance, Xu Tianming stretched.
"Elder Mu, after we return to Dongyang City, I think I should go to Mingdu to study."
Xu Tianming's gaze fell on Mu Ye beside him, and after a moment of contemplation, he said:
"You don't need to come to Mingdu with me. Go to the far north instead."
"Make sure you find me a high-age snow lotus, and then explore the habitats of the three major ethnic groups in the far north."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Makino bowed slightly.
