Chapter 163 Hao Tian Clan_1

Xu Sheng paused once again, speaking indifferently, "Therefore, our primary target has shifted from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect to the Hao Tian Clan. I wonder if the teachers and guest elders have any objections?"

Even though these guest elders' opinions were inconsequential, Xu Sheng, in keeping with public protocol, still had to inquire.

One of the guest elders hastily expressed his stance, "I have no objections, His Highness the Holy Son's approach could reduce the loss of Soul Masters and also propagate the nobility of the Martial Soul Hall!"

Another concurred with a nod, finding the point reasonable, "I agree with His Highness the Holy Son, this could prevent other sects from becoming wary of us, and catch the Hao Tian Clan off guard. They will definitely assume our next target is the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"

Another elder chimed in with a laugh, "I have no objections either, His Highness the Holy Son's strategy is very clever, exceptional from every angle you look at it!"

This remark made Bi Bidong's eyes light up as she turned her attention to this elder, "Oh? Then please, elder, tell us in what ways is this strategy good?"

Could it be that this elder also possesses some strategic acumen?

The designated elder, upon hearing this, instantly ran out of steam, as if his throat had been clutched tight...

The neighboring elders tried to contain their laughter, with the Pope sitting right there...

None of them had any desire to become the next target...

The named elder felt utterly embarrassed, forcing a cough to cover it up and spoke in a weakened tone, "His Highness the Holy Son's strategy could solve the Martial Soul Hall's problems and deal with various other issues..."

It was vaguely observable that the curiosity in Bi Bidong's eyes swiftly faded, becoming incredibly icy...

What she, Bi Bidong, detested the most was this type of person, who loved to blindly agree with others, yet when asked to explain, they spout complete nonsense!

Her icy gaze swept over the elder coldly, and he felt as if he were in an ice cellar, a cold clarity permeating his entire body...

Bi Bidong then turned her gaze back to Xu Sheng, her tone softening somewhat, "Xu Sheng, continue."

As for that elder, all Xu Sheng could feel was helplessness...

If you don't know, then don't speak; no one will think you're mute...

Now, by doing this, aren't you just asking for trouble?

...

At this moment, in the Moon Pavilion on the other side! (Heaven Dou Imperial Court Etiquette Academy)

After some time training at the Moon Pavilion, Tang San's etiquette and facial expression management had become naturally controllable...

Now he, having shed much of the chill from his time in Slaughter City, appeared much gentler...

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Tang San was facing the dazzling handsome man in the mirror...

His long black hair had cascaded down to his shoulders, his bones and muscles seemed to have undergone a second development, looking very full, and his thin lips akin to cut by a knife were pleasing to the eye...

Then, with his pupils tightly closed, Tang San suddenly opened his eyes, a deep purple light shining within them...

His gaze focused on his reflection in the mirror as he furrowed his brows, "What exactly should I do to advance my Purple Demon Eyes further?"

Suddenly, a 'tap tap tap' of knocking came, the sound slow and rhythmic...

It didn't incite impatience or urgency in the listener...

Tang San slowly rose from his bed and spoke softly, "Come in."

The door was gently pushed open. A dignified and elegant lady stepped in from outside, clad in a silver palace dress, her every movement filled with grace...

Her eyes, gentle like flowing water, seemed to penetrate everything...

Even though the woman's soul power rank was very weak, what was distinctive was the faint noble circle domain exuding from her!

This was also her innate Domain, in some respects more precious than Angel's Domain, Bluesilver Field, and others.

Two beautiful maidens followed behind her...

This was Tang Yuehua, the proprietress of the Moon Pavilion!

And Tang San's father, Tang Hao, was her second brother, while the current Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan, Tang Xiao, was her eldest brother!

Tang Yuehua approached Tang San with graceful steps, smiling faintly and said, "Tang San."

Tang San subconsciously performed the etiquette of a junior and said, "Aunt Yuehua."

This had become a habit for him during his time at the Moon Pavilion...

Tang Yuehua said with a smile, "Tang San, you can now naturally control your expressions, and you have also mastered court etiquette perfectly. There's nothing more I can teach you."

Tang San, rarely joking, said, "Aunt, are you trying to rush me off?"

Tang Yuehua shook her head and looked behind her, "I really don't want to rush you off, but... your father seems quite eager for you to leave."

Tang San also looked over and saw a rough man in a cloak who had appeared at the doorway; it was Tang Hao!

Having recognized the visitor, Tang San slowly walked over and said, "Dad."

Tang Hao glanced at Tang San's amiable face and said indifferently, "Hmm! It seems you've learned how to control your expression and demeanor. It's time to leave."

Tang San looked back at Tang Yuehua...

With a hint of reluctance in his eyes, he said, "Aunt... I'll be leaving with Dad, then. Take care!"

Tang Yuehua nodded, "Hmm! Go with your father."

"Let's go," Tang Hao turned slowly, and Tang San followed him...

Behind them, Tang Yuehua's voice rose again, "Second brother... go see the elder brother. The situation in the Hao Tian Clan is very dangerous!"

Tang Hao's steps faltered slightly before he continued walking, leaving the Moon Pavilion with Tang San...

After leaving the Moon Pavilion, Tang San's gaze fell on Tang Hao and he asked in confusion, "Dad, where are we going now?"

Tang Hao didn't answer right away. After a moment...

He uttered three words coldly from his mouth, "Hao Tian Clan!"

His eyes then lifted, staring at the sky ahead, and he thought to himself, "It's been a long time since I returned to the Hao Tian Clan. Might as well take a good look before the final moment of departure..."

...

Hao Tian Clan!

The sect sprawls atop solitary crags, surrounded by several iron chains that are the only pathways leading to the Hao Tian Clan!

If one is careless, it's all too easy to fall off the cliffs below...

Its formidable defensive capabilities far exceed those of other sects!

At this moment, two figures were moving steadfastly across these iron chains...

After crossing the iron chains, Tang San furrowed his brow and asked, "Father, are the pathways to the Hao Tian Clan all like these iron chains?"

From this, Tang San could already guess that the people of the Hao Tian Clan were very confident in their abilities.

Otherwise, they wouldn't set up such perilous iron chains as the only path...

Tang Hao glanced at Tang San and said indifferently, "Are you finding it hard to cope? This is only one-tenth of the journey to the Hao Tian Clan!"

The corners of Tang San's mouth curved up slightly, "No, I can still hold on."

In the next moment, he displayed the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, rushing forward with a speed that left afterimages, making the iron chains under his feet seem like a flat, unwavering path.

"Oh? Xiaosan actually has such a movement technique!" Seeing Tang San's movements, Tang Hao narrowed his eyes...

After speaking, he added with a hint of satisfaction, "Then, as his father, I can't lose to the boy either!"

But as Tang Hao was contemplating, a pain struck his chest again, and he clutched at it while spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood...

After wiping the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth, Tang Hao chased after Tang San in front as if nothing had happened...
