Chapter 131: Robbing Du Gu Bo by Taking Advantage of a Fire_2

However, a troubled expression appeared on Tang Hao's face.

This did not escape Tang Chen's sharp notice.

"Hao'er, what's happened? Has something occurred within the sect?" A bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

"Ancestor, the Hao Tian Clan now exists in name only..."

"The Hao Tian Clan is no more..."

Tang Hao's voice carried a sob.

Mentioning the Hao Tian Clan, his eyes reddened.

"What, the Hao Tian Clan... no more?"

"How can the Number One Sect in the world cease to exist?"

Tang Hao's words exploded in Tang Chen's mind like thunder.

He couldn't bring himself to believe Tang Hao's words were true.

"Ancestor, as hard as it may be to accept, this is the truth," Tang Hao insisted.

"To be frank, I've just returned from the sect, and the once glorious and majestic Hao Tian Castle is now but ruins."

"In the past, our sect was filled with strong warriors. Now, within our sect are only the old, weak, and sick, struggling to survive upon the ruins of the sect."

As Tang Hao spoke, his voice broke with emotion.

Thinking of the Hao Tian Clan, his grief was genuine.

"How could the Hao Tian Clan have fallen to such a state?"

Great sorrow also filled Tang Chen's heart.

Even his face was streaming with tears of blood.

The Hao Tian Clan was the work of his lifetime, and to think it had been destroyed like this.

A look of surprise appeared on Tang San's face, but upon hearing Tang Hao say there were still people alive within the sect, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There were still people who might be able to revive it.

"Was it the Martial Soul Hall, it has to be the Martial Soul Hall, right?"

"Qiandaoliu finally couldn't help it and struck against our Hao Tian Clan, didn't they!"

Suddenly, Tang Chen's icy voice rose, questioning Tang Hao.

A chilling murderous intent burst forth from him, like a tsunami emanating from within.

Tang Hao felt himself before Tang Chen's imposing aura as if he were a solitary boat that could capsize at any moment.

"Gulp."

He swallowed hard, "Ancestor, please calm down, it wasn't the Martial Soul Hall or Qiandaoliu who acted, but someone else."

Someone else? Tang Chen was taken aback, calming down significantly, "It wasn't the Martial Soul Hall? Then who was it? Who has the strength and audacity?"

As he spoke of his enemy, Tang Hao's eyes filled with an icy chill, "It was Qin Xiao and the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect who joined forces and attacked the Hao Tian Clan. Our Second Elder, third elder, Fifth Elder, seventh elder, as well as my elder brother Tang Xiao, all of our Hao Tian Clan's Titled Douluo warriors, were killed by Qin Xiao's hand. And the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect swept up all of our sect's powerhouses below the Titled Douluo Level."

"What!"

"Qin Xiao, the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, they really dared!"

After hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang Chen was beside himself with rage.

"I'll go annihilate them this instant!"

As Tang Chen spoke, he was about to take to the air, but he quickly realized he had no idea who Qin Xiao was.

Seeing this, Tang Hao hastily said, "Ancestor, listen to me."

He then described Qin Xiao's appearance, strength, and the grudge between them in detail.

There was even a portrait of Qin Xiao.

Shock immediately painted Tang Chen's face, "Wha-what? The Qin Xiao you're talking about is this Qin Xiao?!"

"Eh?"

"Ancestor, do you mean, you know him?" Tang Hao was equally astounded.

Was there some hidden secret here?

Tang Chen's voice changed, "Know him? He was just in my memory, having come to Slaughter City recently, and he even passed through Hell Road."

What?

Slaughter City, Hell Road?

Surprise was written all over Tang Hao and Tang San's faces.

"Not just Qin Xiao alone, he also brought two young girls with him, and the three of them passed through Hell Road together," Tang Chen continued.

He added, "One more thing you might not know is that Qin Xiao completed a hundred duels in one day."

Boom, boom, boom!

Tang Chen's words were like hammer after hammer striking heavily upon the hearts of Tang Hao and Tang San.

They hadn't imagined that Qin Xiao had achieved such incredible feats during this period.

Both Tang Hao and Tang San had participated in the Hell Slaughter Ground and knew its difficulty. A hundred duels in one day was preposterous. It simply wasn't something humans could accomplish.

"I know this sounds unbelievable, but this is the truth, I even was the one who opened the Hell Road portal for him," Tang Chen said.

Tang Chen saw the shock in Tang Hao and Tang San's eyes and couldn't help but speak.

When he mentioned Qin Xiao, his voice was also filled with admiration.

Having presided over Slaughter City for so many years, he had never seen someone as outstanding as that.

Beyond that, there was something he hadn't told Tang Hao and Tang San: the strength of Qin Xiao.

He still remembered their confrontation vividly.

The thunder that seemed to not belong to this world, even he dared not act rashly against it.

"Since it's that Qin Xiao who made a move, it looks like this matter really does need thorough planning."

After a while, Tang Chen also calmed down.

Although he wanted to avenge his sect members, he had to be absolutely confident in his success.

Don't forget, his body was also fraught with hidden dangers.

There were toxins like entrenched evils and a soul ready to take over his body at any time.

If he fought someone, all these could become liabilities.

However,

This scene, as seen by Tang Hao, was quite different.

The Patriarch actually backed down?

He knew that Tang Chen had already become a pinnacle Titled Douluo of level 99 when he disappeared.

Is Qin Xiao really that formidable?

As he thought about it, Tang Hao involuntarily shivered.

Thankfully, he had held back earlier and hadn't gone to seek a fight with Qin Xiao to the death, otherwise...

The grass on his grave would be two meters high, right?

"Patriarch, should we return to the sect to see if there is anyone whose bloodline matches yours?"

After regaining his composure, Tang Hao asked again.

This time, Tang Chen didn't refuse, "Good. I also want to see to what extent the sect has deteriorated. When my injuries heal, I must make those who acted against our Hao Tian Clan pay the price."

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao also clenched his fists fiercely, "Right, not just the Hao Tian Clan, but also the Martial Soul Hall."

Tang Chen was taken aback, "What's the matter with the Martial Soul Hall?"

"Alas."

With a heavy sigh, Tang Hao said, "Patriarch, there's a long story there. Let's talk about it on the road."

...

Half a day later.

Icefire Polarized Eyes.

"Qin Xiao, why is it that every time you come here, there's trouble?"

Du Gu Bo looked at Qin Xiao carrying a girl around his waist and spoke irritably.

You see, carrying a girl isn't too much, but switching to a different one every time is crossing the line.

What's even worse, each girl's beauty wasn't inferior to that of Dugu Yan, which really depressed Du Gu Bo.

He felt that if Dugu Yan wanted to stand out, it was going to be a long wait indeed.

"Maybe, I should think of something else..."

"There are a few fierce medicines in the medical books, after taking them, one will become very thirsty..."

Alone, Du Gu Bo was already secretly plotting how to make Qin Xiao give in.

Qin Xiao glanced at Du Gu Bo with a strange expression on his face and spoke impatiently, "Enough, Du Gu Bo, stop the nonsense. Yiran has been poisoned, hurry up and help her with the antidote."

"Oh? Poisoned?"

Du Gu Bo was taken aback for a moment, his expression immediately becoming serious.

After Qin Xiao gently put Meng Yiran down on the ground, Du Gu Bo immediately leaned in.

At this point, Meng Yiran was already unconscious, her complexion was pale without a trace of color, her lips were purplish-black, and her breathing was very faint.

With a grave expression, Du Gu Bo said, "She is poisoned."

Qin Xiao: This is damn nonsense, isn't it? What did I just say?

Of course, at times like these, he knew some things couldn't be voiced.

So he could only grumble to himself inwardly.

Meanwhile,

Pointing to the wound on Meng Yiran's arm, Du Gu Bo said, "The soul beast that injured this girl isn't very powerful; if treated promptly, this poison is something I could resolve with a snap of my fingers. But now time has passed, allowing the toxin to spread throughout her body, which makes it somewhat tricky."

Tricky...

Qin Xiao frowned upon hearing this, his heart sinking, "How tricky is it?"

After thinking seriously for a moment, Du Gu Bo slowly raised two fingers, "I reckon it would take an acre of medicine fields to detoxify this girl."

Qin Xiao: "..."

He understood; Du Gu Bo was obviously looking to take advantage of the situation.
