Chapter 33 A Shocking Change in Mo City, Haotian Descends
The three entered the main hall and dismissed their attendants.
Tang Kun recounted his experiences over the past few days in detail.
From Tang Yu obtaining the century-old soul ring and external soul bone, to his chance encounter with Dugu Bo, helping him hunt Medusa and resolve the poison backlash, to discovering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and recruiting Dugu Bo to join him.
Regarding Tang Yu's spirit ring, Tang Kun simply mentioned that he encountered a special hundred-year-old dragon-type spirit beast. Although it was not very old, it happened to drop a precious external spirit bone.
It wasn't that Tang Kun didn't trust Tang Xiao, but rather that his grandson's secret was simply too shocking—a million-year-old soul beast sacrifice and the path to godhood. This forced him to be extremely cautious.
Tang Xiao was both surprised and gratified as he listened to the whole process.
"An external soul bone?" Tang Xiao looked at Tang Yu, his eyes filled with surprise. "Xiao Yu, release your martial soul and soul rings so I can see them."
Tang Yu released his martial soul as instructed.
The golden Haotian Hammer appeared in his hand, its entire body a dark gold, with lifelike dragon patterns on the hammerhead.
At the same time, a yellow, century-old soul ring rose up from beneath his feet.
After several days of adaptation, Tang Yu has been able to gain a basic grasp of the energy of the Dragon Pill.
Under Long Dan's influence, he was able to control the energy in his spirit rings at will.
By controlling the energy in a million-year spirit ring to the level of a hundred-year spirit ring, one can control the color of the spirit ring.
And the color of this spirit ring was something he deliberately controlled.
The golden light of the million-year spirit ring was completely concealed, revealing only the appearance of an ordinary hundred-year spirit ring.
However, if you perceive it carefully, you can still tell that this spirit ring is somewhat special, and its energy fluctuations are much more solid than those of a normal hundred-year spirit ring.
"Not bad, although it's a hundred-year-old soul ring, the energy is quite pure." Tang Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
"More importantly, external soul bones are extremely rare and precious. Xiaoyu, you're lucky."
He then looked at Tang Kun: "Second Uncle, what type of external soul bone is that?"
"It's a pair of wing-like soul bones," Tang Kun said. "It grants Xiao Yu the ability to fly and a short-range spatial teleportation skill, which is very practical."
"Great! That's wonderful!" Tang Xiao was even more delighted. "With an external soul bone, Xiao Yu's future potential will greatly increase."
After saying that, Tang Xiao began pacing back and forth, quickly thinking: "What about Dugu Bo? Is he really willing to join us?"
"He swore by his martial spirit that he would bring his granddaughter to meet him outside the mountain gate in three days," Tang Kun affirmed.
"This person clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. We saved his life, helped him break through to a higher level, and also helped him resolve the backlash from the toxins. He remembers this kindness."
"Great! Excellent!" Tang Xiao slammed his hand on the table excitedly. "The addition of a Title Douluo who uses poison will greatly benefit our migration plan."
"Moreover, he can resolve the backlash problem of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, and his future achievements are limitless."
"Sect Master, regarding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well..." Tang Kun reminded him.
Tang Xiao stopped, his expression serious: "This matter is of utmost importance. If such a treasure land is used properly, it is enough for our Haotian Sect to cultivate a group of top experts."
"But there's no rush."
"The most important thing now is the relocation of the clan."
"According to what you say, that place is absolutely hidden, and unless you have great luck, you simply cannot find it."
"Besides, the Po clan has already gone to Mo City."
"Once we reach Mo City and hand over the samples to the Po clan for research, we can decide how to utilize those immortal herbs after they have completed their studies."
After speaking, Tang Xiao looked at Tang Yu:
"Xiaoyu, according to the Second Elder, you have made great contributions in winning over Dugu Bo and finding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well this time."
"Once the Po clan has finished researching the immortal herbs, they will prioritize selecting a suitable one for you."
Tang Yu was taken aback, then bowed solemnly: "Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master. I will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to the sect's expectations."
Several more days passed.
Haotian Sect, Conference Hall.
"Sect Master, the Grand Elder and the others have sent a letter."
"They have arrived safely in Mo City without encountering any danger along the way."
Tang Xiao was overjoyed after hearing Tang Kun's report.
He said "good" three times in a row.
"Okay! Okay! Okay."
"It seems the Spirit Hall's situation isn't good either; they don't have time to deal with us."
"Continue with the plan," Tang Xiao instructed.
Southeast of the Kingdom of Barak, in the city of Mo.
In the center of Mo City, the city lord's mansion.
Mo Wentian sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed.
This level 72 Soul Saint was about 70 years old, but his face was still resolute and his hands had large knuckles, which were marks left by years of holding a sword.
"Father, several unfamiliar faces have recently arrived in the city." The young man sitting at the lower end spoke up. He was Mo Yun, the eldest son of Mo Wentian, a level 45 Soul Master.
"Judging from their behavior, they don't seem like ordinary merchants; they seem more like... Soul Masters."
"Soul Masters?" Mo Wentian looked up. "How many? What's their strength?"
"There are about ten groups of people, each group consisting of about ten people, scattered throughout different inns in the city." Mo Yun's expression was solemn.
"I sent people to observe them secretly. Although they disguised themselves very well, the aura they occasionally revealed was very strong. The weakest of them was probably at the Soul King level."
Mo Wentian was startled.
A Soul King is already considered a master in Mo City. Even the Mo family, the number one power in the area, only has three Soul Kings.
One hundred Soul Masters above the Soul King level have arrived in this place?
"Do you know its origin?"
"I don't know." Mo Yun shook his head. "They are very cautious and hardly contact any locals. I asked the Spirit Hall to help investigate, but even Hall Master Li doesn't know."
Hall Master Li is Mo Wentian's son-in-law, the Hall Master of the Mo City Martial Soul Branch Hall, and a level 63 Soul Emperor.
"Something unusual must be going on." Mo Wentian stood up and paced around the hall. "More than a hundred high-level soul masters have silently infiltrated Mo City. Their intentions must be quite significant."
"Yun'er, strengthen the security in the manor. Have all guards take turns on duty in three shifts. Also, go and invite the heads of the other three families over. Tell them I have important matters to discuss with them."
"Yes!" Mo Yun responded and withdrew.
However, just as he reached the door, a guard rushed in in a panic.
"Lord! Something terrible has happened! A group of people have arrived outside the manor, demanding to see you!"
Mo Wentian's eyes sharpened: "How many people?"
"There are more than twenty people, but each of them has a powerful aura. They are at least Soul Emperor level experts, and some of them even have a stronger aura than yours, City Lord." The guard's voice trembled as he said this.
At least a Soul Emperor level expert?
And there were more than twenty of them?
Mo Wentian's heart sank. He knew that there were no more than ten Soul Emperor level experts in the entire city of Mo City combined!
"Let's go take a look," Mo Wentian said, trying to appear calm.
After saying that, he strode out of the hall.
Outside the city lord's mansion, more than twenty figures stood silently.
There were four people leading the group.
On the far left is a burly man with a towering physique, over 2.2 meters tall, with bulging muscles; he is none other than Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan.
Beside him stood a lean, wiry old man with white hair and beard but sharp, eagle-like eyes—Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan.
The third person was sturdy and imposing, standing there like a city wall; he was Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu clan.
The last one, with a restrained aura and a silver spear hanging at his waist, was Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Po clan.
Behind them were twenty elites from the four clans, all of whom were at least Soul Emperor level.
On a rooftop further away, Tang Wei stood with his hands behind his back, the aura of a nine-ring titled Douluo emanating slightly, enveloping the entire City Lord's Mansion area to prevent any news from leaking out.
"Who are you all? What brings you to my Mo residence?" Mo Wentian asked in a deep voice as he stepped out of the mansion.
His gaze swept over the twenty-odd people in front of him, and he grew increasingly alarmed.
He couldn't see through any of these twenty-odd people! This meant that their strength was all above his!
"Lord Mo, I am Titan." Titan stepped forward, his voice booming, "I have come today to discuss a business deal with you, Lord Mo."
"A transaction?" Mo Wentian clenched his fists. "What kind of transaction requires such a grand spectacle?"
"The change of ownership of Mo City." Yang Wudi spoke calmly, his voice serene, yet it sent chills down Mo Wentian's spine.
"Insolence!" roared the captain of the guards behind Mo Wentian. "Who do you think you are, daring to run wild in Mo City!"
Before he finished speaking, Yang Wudi moved.
No one saw how he made his move; all they saw was a flash of silver light, and a long spear pierced straight through the guard captain's chest.
The guard captain stared wide-eyed and collapsed to the ground, dead.
