Chapter 124. Tang Hao Returns to His Ancestors (Part 123)

Unconditional acceptance of Tang San ≠ unconditional acceptance of Tang Hao.

Even if Tang Hao was accepted for Tang San's sake, Yu Xiaogang would not necessarily be accepted unconditionally. After all, Yu Xiaogang's surname was Yu, and he was from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Even if he was really talented, he was only suitable to be an envoy or representative of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, not to join the Haotian Sect, let alone to comment on the various decisions of the Haotian Sect's top leaders, and he should not have the qualifications.

Therefore, Tang San encountered no difficulty when he entered the sect.

Except for the Sixth Elder who left in anger, the other elders turned a blind eye and tacitly approved of Tang San's return to his ancestral home.

Just as Tang Xiao said, the Haotian Sect needs Tang San.

These elders would not be as naive as Lao Liu, pinning the safety of the Haotian Sect on the possible mercy of the Spirit Hall. Moreover, even if the Spirit Hall tried to surrender, they would not bow their heads and surrender.

Their Haotian Sect should be on an equal footing with the Spirit Hall, instead of being inferior to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family.

If the Spirit Hall dares to attack them.

They can then activate Tang San.

If the Spirit Hall didn't take action against them.

They are also happy to develop peacefully.

From this perspective, these elders have already regarded Tang San as the mushroom bomb of the great country in the future: I can not throw it, but I absolutely cannot be without it!

“What a pity… For the weak, the most important thing is not the determination to become stronger, but self-knowledge. Any bet should be a means of gaining a glimmer of hope when there is no other way out, and it should never be used as a means of preventing danger before it happens.” Ye Qingcang placed the black chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and played against Violet: “The reason why the Haotian Sect didn’t seize the opportunity was not because of the advantage brought by Tang San, but because they didn’t listen to the Sixth Elder… If it were me, if one of my subordinates whose son had died advised me not to do this, I would definitely think carefully about what kind of terrible consequences could make an old man who had wanted revenge for more than ten years give up this obsession and swallow his blood and tears silently.”

“They are too confident, so confident that they are a bit blindly arrogant.” Violet played white and placed a piece on the chessboard. “You once said that there are only three kinds of people in this world: those who lead the times, those who are in the era, and those who can’t keep up with the times. Among them, those who lead the times are basically the winners in life, because the market rewards those who are foresighted the most generously; those who are in this era can only go with the flow, relying on their talents and picking up food from the leftovers of the former; the last one is the people who can’t keep up with the times. No matter how hard they try, no matter how talented they are, they are always losers. Therefore, vision and choice are more important than emotional intelligence and talent. Similarly, understanding and mind are more important than talent.”

When creating the ghost masks, Ye Qingcang specially created nine ghost masks, taking one as the main mask and the other eight as sub-masks. The authority of the sub-masks is lower than that of the main mask, but they can still control all the ghost troops. If there is no master, or the master dies, all sub-masks will automatically merge into the main mask, so Violet also knows what is happening in the Haotian Sect at this moment.

Unfortunately, in this extraordinary world, the Ghost Corps only has the advantage of gathering intelligence. The soldiers of the Ghost Corps have only the physical fitness of normal people. At most, they are well-trained killers or special forces. They can only be brutally killed when fighting with soul masters who rely on martial spirits.

Otherwise, the Haotian Sect would have been a river of blood long ago.

Not taking action or giving warnings does not mean being cowardly.

Rather, only the unexposed Ghost Corps has considerable lethality. A known Ghost Corps is like a sword drawn from its sheath. Although it is sharp, its strengths and weaknesses have been clearly seen by the opponent.

This is a fatal weakness for the Ghost Corps, which is "good at collecting intelligence."

Ye Qingcang would not do such a stupid thing.

Neither would Violet.

So, at this moment, Tang San, Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang, Tang Xiao and others who were in the main hall of Haotian Sect did not know that their conversation had been recorded by several ghost soldiers hiding in their shadows, holding small notebooks, meticulously recording not a single word. They still believed that Haotian Sect had an absolute advantage, especially after the scandal of Spirit Hall was exposed. As expected, the reputation of Spirit Hall would suffer a huge blow.

However, precisely because it was not unexpected, it went against expectations as expected.

It was truly a huge blow.

But not in a negative way, but in a positive way.

These high-ranking officials of the Haotian Sect are out of touch with the world. In their minds, morality, ethics, and stance are the most important things in the world. Therefore, they cannot empathize with the common people, nor can they empathize with the civilian soul masters who come from ordinary people's families. They cannot understand the significance of one gold soul coin in the Spirit Hall every month.

Douluo Continent and even Sun Moon Continent ten thousand years later.

This is a world without the concept of soul master subsidies.

Even if ten thousand years have passed and the gold, silver and copper soul coins have depreciated a little, five copper soul coins can still buy a grilled fish from Huo Yuhao. According to Jiang Nannan's words in the original book, Huo Yuhao can make money by buying three copper soul coins for a grilled fish, but he makes a little less. A gold soul coin can support a soul master to have enough food and clothing in Douluo One, but it can only support a soul master to have enough food in Douluo Two. But having this subsidy for soul masters is better than having no subsidy at all!
One gold soul coin can give Huo Yuhao two more hours of practice time every day!
In a month, that’s sixty hours!

For those soul masters who have poor talents, are trying to catch up with their peers through hard work, and have poor family backgrounds, this kind of help is really necessary!
Until they came into this world.

Understand the Spirit Hall in the mood of resistance.

Only then did he gradually lose his resistance to the Spirit Hall.

They didn't care at all about the trivial matters of the former Pope and the current Pope, and even if they mentioned it, they would only talk about it as gossip. For the first time, these civilian soul masters with fragile self-esteem felt the respect they could get as soul masters in the villainous Spirit Hall. Therefore, the policy that a first-ring soul master can receive one gold soul coin per month, a second-ring great soul master can receive ten gold soul coins per month, a third-ring mixed group can receive one hundred gold soul coins per month, and a fourth-ring soul master and above can make a living on their own has fully conquered the entire civilian soul master class and made most of them join the Spirit Hall. If they can add a zero after the above treatment, let alone gain their favor, they will not hesitate even to attack the Sea God Tang San. If there is also a pension, morale will be full.

To borrow the words of a certain netizen: When a piece of bread sells for 500,000 marks, believe me, I will pull the bolt ten times faster than them. "So, from the beginning, the route of the Haotian Sect was wrong..." Ye Qingcang pressed a black chess piece, and the crisp sound made when the chess piece touched the chessboard seemed to ring the death knell of fate: "Even if Tang Hao recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestral clan, even if Tang San recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestral clan, it will not change anything; because they not only abandoned the great righteousness of "hiding from the world", but also lost the two banners of "justice" and "people's hearts"; this world is determined by the strong, but the first strong must have stood up from the masses. Without the masses, there will be no one on top, even if the original intention of the masses is not to have one on top, but to have one person pushed to the top by the masses, and this person who goes up is the strong man who wants to save the world, the king!"

“The funniest thing is…” Violet was also amused by the Haotian Sect’s actions: “They actually planned to test and make things difficult for us…”

"Yeah..." Ye Qingcang switched his perspective and looked at the funny scene in Haotian Sect through the scarlet vision of the ghost soldiers: "They want to win their hearts, but they are afraid of letting the wolf into the house. They don't want to lead them into the door, but they still want to leave a way out. They are hesitant and stupid. They are praising them by saying that this is a trick to fool people..."

The ghostly soldiers were lurking in Tang Xiao's shadow.

Therefore, Ye Qingcang could see the scene clearly.

“Tang San can return to his ancestral home… but Tang Hao definitely can’t!” The Third Elder’s acting skills were quite poor. As a good-cop, he couldn’t even find a good excuse. Even if a good-cop came out to smooth things over, it couldn’t change the nature of the test. A smart person would know that the human heart can’t stand the test. “Tang Hao said in person that he severed ties with our Haotian Sect. Even if our Haotian Sect reopened the mountain gate and wanted to unite with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex to deal with the Spirit Hall, it was a time when the sect needed people. But the rules are the rules. If you want to return to your ancestral home, you can return to your ancestral home. If you want to sever ties, you can sever ties. Do you really think this is just a trivial matter?”

"Third elder, it is precisely because we need people that we should not be bound by rules!" The second elder advised indifferently, and the meaning of singing the same tune was extremely obvious: "Even if the old sect master died of anger, Tang Hao is still the old sect master's son. For the sake of the old sect master and the sect master, no matter what, we must give Tang Hao a chance to redeem himself. But, Tang Hao, I believe you also know what the soul bones in your body mean to our Haotian Sect. If you want to recognize your ancestors and return to the sect, you can, but you must hand over the inherited soul bones in your body. Our Haotian Sect can only have one sect master at the same time. If you don't hand it over, where will the current sect master Tang Xiao be?"

This scene reminded Ye Qingcang of Tang Chen who died on the road to hell: even though he died, he did not curse him, but accepted his fate calmly.

No wonder Tang Chen was worried about the Haotian Sect and even made a bet with Qian Daoliu. It turned out that Tang Chen had already known that the Haotian Sect's ugly ducks could not withstand Qian Daoliu's methods. It should be said that Tang Chen was really worried!
Especially the methods of Haotian Sect!
Too clumsy, too narrow-minded!
If Tang Chen saw this, he would probably be so angry that he would have a cerebral hemorrhage!

Soul bone?

Do you care about those two soul bones?
You want to use the two pieces of Haotian Sect's inherited soul bones to threaten Tang Hao, because you know well that soul bones, once integrated into the body, cannot be taken out unless the soul master dies, and inherited soul bones are fully developed residual soul bones. Although Tang Hao does not have a complete set of inherited soul bones, if he wants to repay these two soul bones, he can only break his hands and legs. Therefore, the Haotian Sect's intention is very clear: either bow your head and return to the sect with a humble attitude, always remember that it is for your son's sake that we allow you to return to your roots, or break your hands and feet and block your way to return to your roots!
To put it bluntly, they just want to force Tang Hao to bow his head!
If it were Tang Chen, what would he do?
Don’t ask for soul bones anymore, just take my hammer!
Strength can convince people more than so-called rules!

If it were him, what would he do?
If you want Tang Hao to return to his roots, all you have to do is say "I believe you", just like Qian Renxue dug up her ancestors' graves and brought him the bones. There is no reason, I just believe in you. If you are a conscienceless person, just treat me as blind for once. There is also a reason for me to kill you. You can suspect that I am gambling with your conscience, but are you willing to sell out your bottom line just to refute me?

Why do those spies in spy war dramas have to endure the torture of conscience? They are obviously brothers who have been through life and death together. After arresting each other for their beliefs, they have to think carefully before even meeting each other, and even regret it for the rest of their lives?
Because the human heart is not made of iron.

Gambling on conscience is an open conspiracy.

Don't care whether you are sincere or not.

This move will break your faith if you dare to betray me.

As for what to do if this trick doesn't work and he himself is backstabbed by this traitor who has abandoned his conscience...Why do you think that a person who can't even control his own shadow would be qualified to backstab the owner of the shadow, or even be able to backstab the owner of the shadow, or even launch some kind of substantial attack on him?
I believe you ≠ I have no backup plan!
Therefore, the Haotian Sect's tactics of beating people are not only outdated, but also have the danger of going too far and may lead to deep hatred and grudges if one is not careful!
Just like now.

"If repaying the soul bone can lead to my return to my roots... I can do it!" Tang Hao said so. Before Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, Tang Xiao and the others could react, they saw the soul power in Tang Hao's body quickly rushing to his right arm. With a loud shout from Tang Hao, his right arm was instantly shattered by the rapidly rotating soul power. Sticky flesh and blood mixed with white bone residues. A light black soul bone was forcibly peeled off and fell to the ground: "I have absorbed two inherited soul bones in total. To be honest, carrying these two inherited soul bones around in the world over the years has indeed been like a stone weighing on my heart. I was afraid that if I died accidentally, these two soul bones would be lost to outsiders. Returning them to their original owners in this way can also be considered as alleviating my worries..."

The second elder looked pale and his head was buzzing.

I'm not asking you to trace your roots this way!

Isn’t the correct answer given to you?
Are you blind?
He refused to even bow his head and still wanted to trace his roots. Could it be that the Haotian Sect was the one who was wrong in the end?
You lower your head, and we will keep our heads high.

If you pretend not to see this matter, it will pass.

Who the hell really wants you to return to your roots even though you have broken arms and legs?

When you publicly announced that you had severed ties with the Haotian Sect for the sake of your wife, why the hell didn't I see that you had a heart to return to your roots? I thought you were the kind of person who would give up the sect for the sake of your wife. After all, even your father was pissed off to death by you, an unfilial son, and he didn't even get to see you before he died. So you always believed that you were right?

The Second Elder felt as horrified as a dog.

Especially when he noticed Tang San's gaze.

Four parts hatred, three parts alienation, two parts vigilance and one part of well-hidden murderous intent.

It made his whole body numb.

Tang Xiao and others were also stunned.

The main hall of Haotian Sect suddenly fell into chaos.

"Tang Hao is a smart man... although he is only a little bit smart." Ye Qingcang retracted his gaze and placed a chess piece on the chessboard: "After this incident, the position of the young master of the Haotian Sect will definitely be in Tang San's pocket, because the nature of this incident has changed from "Haotian Sect showing mercy" to "Haotian Sect being aggressive". As long as the Haotian Sect still wants to keep Tang San's so-called trump card, the Haotian Sect must come up with something to appease Tang San's emotions. No matter what, Tang San cannot hate the Haotian Sect because of this!"

“This is not a good thing…” After thinking it over, Violet asked in an uncertain tone, “Do you think I’m right?”

“Of course it’s right.” Ye Qingcang nodded. From the beginning, the core of this game was not Tang San, nor the Haotian Sect: “Let me teach you another truth: people with a strong desire for control are no different from beasts. Moreover, if the beast that invades its territory is of the same kind as itself, then it will definitely kill it in the most cruel way, because it wants to prove that it is the only, correct, just, and even extremely egoistic!”
