Chapter 225 Counter siege

Later that night, in the Strength Clan's residence.

Tang Hao, Tang Yuehua, Tai Tan, and Bai He were deliberating in the council hall when, duh duh duh, the door was knocked.

The four of them were instantly silenced, and Tai Tan turned his head, softly bellowing out, "Come in."

Soon, the door was pushed open, and two disciples of the Speed Can approached quickly, kneeling on one knee, glancing at Tang Hao, whose body was covered by a black robe with a puzzled eye, they turned their heads to Bai He and arching their hands to report, "Patriarch, some people of the Skywalker Academy have left in a carriage from the side gate, and the specific information about the people is unknown, however, judging by the wheel marks left on the ground, there should be seven of them, and the direction is the Sunset Forest. "

Sunset Forest. Tang Hao's gaze immediately flickered.

"Well, retreat first." Bai He nodded slightly and waved his hand.

"Yes." The two disciples immediately turned around and left.

When the door closed, Tai Tan turned his head to look at Tang Hao, his face showing joy, "Master, this is a good opportunity! Heading towards the Sunset Forest, it was definitely because one of those few girls had absorbed the spirit bone rewarded in the tournament and had a breakthrough in strength, and this trip was obviously to obtain a spirit ring. And based on age, the most likely one is Zhu Zhuyu, followed by Shui Yue'er. Master, none of them can fly."

"And Lin Manshan, with the ability of his external spirit bone, will definitely follow them there."

"In that case, Dugu Bo will naturally accompany them for protection. As for the rest of the people, it is estimated that they are the few girls accompanying them for training. Of course, there might also be instructors within, but there certainly won't be more than one, at most one, who will help Dugu Bo watch over people when he fights. After all, hunting a 10,000-year-old spirit beast for the fifth spirit ring is just that, it doesn't require many people at all. Even, Lin Manshan can lead a team to cooperate in the hunt."

"Therefore, this trip of going with seven at once is certainly focused on training." His tone was very measured.

Tang Hao mused, then raised his head, his tone was bland, "Arrange for manpower to lay out sentries on all the roads they are bound to pass on their way back and report back as soon as they're discovered. At the same time, check for suitable ambush locations on the way and make arrangements in the surrounding area in advance."

"In addition, send people to continue to monitor the Skywalker Academy to figure out if those two traitors, Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, are still there. There are also those three from the Shui family, their martial souls all possess the ability to fly, and their strength is not bad either. If any of these people are present, it will be a hindrance to our actions. Thus, as a precautionary measure, it is necessary to send someone to Skywater City to check it out carefully as well."

"All in all, we must do everything we can to figure out the exact identities of the seven people travelling during this time."

"For this battle, my demand is not to let any of them escape, thus, it must be foolproof."

"Yes, master." Tai Tan replied without hesitation.

"I'll go back and start making arrangements." Bai He didn't say anything more, nodding his head afterwards.

Tang Hao nodded and turned his head to look at Tang Yuehua, "Yuehua, let me send you back."

"Uh-huh." Tang Yuehua nodded slightly and turned her head to Bai He, "Uncle, then Hua'er will leave first."

"Good." A smile appeared on Bai He's face as he nodded and got up.

In a moment, together, they walked out of the hall.

Right at this moment, at the corner location of the roof, a spider crawled out from the shadows, roaming over the wall to the door, and then climbed up the roof along the eaves.

"Kiki." A magpie bird flew out from the top of a tree not far away, lowering its head to allow the spider to climb up its back and weave its web.

Not long after, the magpie bird, which had been commented on by the Tai Tan and settled in as a symbol of good luck and good fortune, soared into the sky.

The next day, near noon.

On the mountain path with lush grass on both sides, inside a carriage that was moving forward slowly.   

"Stop the carriage!" Lin Manshan suddenly voiced out, turning his head to look at the rear.

"Man'er, what's wrong?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask.

"It's the bird and spider I placed in the Strength Clan, and according to the instructions, there's only one possibility for this to happen. That is when Tang Hao appeared in one of the Strength Clans' place to have a conversation with Tai Tan and the others, with words and phrases about killing me or you, Grandpa Dugu." Lin Manshan frowned slightly, "It seems that Tang Hao couldn't wait any longer and most likely wanted to snatch the head bone on me."

Before Hu Liena went to the Killing City, Bibi Dong gave her a head spirit bone. When Tang San went, he also absorbed the Head Bone. From this, it could be seen that having a head bone was very important when it came to clearing the Killing City.

Especially the Hell Road, the influence of the Bloody Mary on the mind is very serious, the toxin in the original Hu Liena's body was eliminated by Tang San, but she was still affected. The reason why not many people have passed through the Hell Road for many years was due to loss of sanity, companions lost their minds and killed each other because of this kind of influence accounted for a large factor.

"Of course, it can't be ruled out that they simply wanted to kill me, as well as you, Grandpa Dugu." Lin Manshan continued.

At those words, everyone's faces changed.

Dugu Bo, on the other hand, snorted coldly, "Wanting to kill me, that also depends on whether he has that kind of strength."

Although his current spirit power level only broke through from level 93 to level 94, the premise of the breakthrough was that the poison dan in his body could not continue to be transformed and compressed, which also represented that his poison dan had been satisfactorily transformed into a poison soul core. This was a breakthrough brought about by a qualitative change, not just the accumulation of spirit power.

Although the difference in spirit power is only 1 level, the difference in battle power is a world of difference, incomparable.

In terms of energy reserves in the body, with a poisonous core plus compressed spirit power, he might still be above the current Tang Hao.

The real difference between him and Tang Hao was just a few fewer spirit bones.

However, he had consumed Immortal Herb, his martial soul had evolved for quite some time, and his physical body had been strengthened in all aspects, besides, he had also practised a lot of skills, so he was not a brittle snake that wasn't good at melee combat anymore. In one one-on-one combat, he was not afraid of Tang Hao, not to mention that he was still injured.

In the middle of his thoughts, the carriage stopped, and Lin Manshan also lifted the curtain.

Soon, a magpie bird had appeared in the sky, "Kiki." Swooping down at an impressive speed, it landed in the palm of his hand.

After sitting for a moment with his eyes closed, Lin Manshan opened his eyes and set the magpie bird free.

"As expected, Tang Hao wants to kill me and Grandpa Dugu. For the sake of the spirit bone in my body, and to eliminate the threat posed to Tang San and the Clear Sky Clan. Now a plan has been prepared together with the Strength and Speed Clan."

Lin Manshan said, expounding the plan Tang Hao and the others had discussed with the group.

After hearing this, Dugu Bo could not help but show murderous intent, snorting out coldly, "Self-righteous things, bringing two wastrels and daring to come and surround me, it's simply a fool's dream. Just let them come, this time, I will make sure they can't return."

"As for the Strength and Speed Clan, after this battle, there is no need for them to exist."

"Dean, to be on the safe side, should I go back and call some more people over." Shui Zilu showed concern and connected the words, "Tang Hao's strength is not bad, even if the plan fails, if he wants to leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him, not to mention that he's also related to the Clear Sky Clan."

Since the other party had decided to kill everyone, naturally, their side couldn't let any of them go.

It is necessary to stage a counter-siege.
