Chapter 282 Strike at the Heart
As the Soul-Shattering Spear fell, it directly blocked Tang Xiao and his companions' path.
When Yang Podi appeared, Tang Xiao's face changed completely: "Yang Podi, although our Haotian Sect and your Po clan have some grudges, it doesn't have to come to this. At worst, we can each take a step back and go our separate ways from now on."
Yang Podi coldly laughed, "That's quite interesting. You didn't have this attitude when you first came to my Tianxing Academy, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with you. Isn't it a bit too late to say such things now?"
"Yang Podi, you can't say that. It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy. From now on, our Haotian Sect and your Po clan can go our separate ways. You go your way, and I'll go mine."
At this moment, Tang Xiao no longer possessed his former domineering aura; instead, he resembled a tiger in its twilight years, barely managing to maintain his former arrogance.
Yang Podi shook his head slightly: "Sometimes people are like this, they can't see the situation clearly until they are in dire straits. The Spirit Hall let your Clear Sky Sect go back then, but you have been thinking about revenge ever since. If I let you go today, and if you have a chance to make a comeback in the future, I'm afraid my Po clan will suffer endless troubles."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao's expression darkened: "Yang Podi, don't forget, without our Haotian Sect, your Po Clan would only be a third-rate family. You might have been swallowed up by other forces long ago. Where would you have had so many years of development opportunities?"
"Hahaha, this is quite interesting. Just because our Po clan was once an affiliated family of your Haotian Sect, does that mean we have to serve your Haotian Sect for life? Are we to be your Haotian Sect's servants for life? Titan and Baihe may want to be servants, but I have no such intention." Yang Podi couldn't help but laugh.
"So what if you kill us all? My grandfather Tang Chen is still alive, and I have my nephew Tang San. They will definitely avenge us. Why not erase all hatred and go our separate ways from now on?"
"Tang Xiao, you're overthinking it. I'm not the second Qian Daoliu. I don't want to be the one who gets bitten by the snake after trying to kill it."
Tang Xiao seemed to be preparing to gather his soul power for a final desperate attempt.
Yang Podi, however, remained calm: "Judging from your expressions, you probably want to hide in the Star Dou Great Forest. I'm really sorry, but if my senses are correct, it will take Di Tian at least several hours to get here."
Tang Xiao looked on in astonishment: "You actually know about Di Tian? What else do you know?"
Yang Podi smiled and said, "If I don't even know my own enemy, then there's no need for me to stand here. Besides, it's not just Black Dragon King Di Tian; Xiong Jun has also just left the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Unfortunately, the distance is too far. At their speed, it would take them at least several hours to get here."
"It's a bit of a pity. Only Di Tian and Xiong Jun came out of the Star Dou Great Forest. There was hardly any other ferocious beasts. It would have been more interesting if a few more had come."
Tang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a fierce light: "There's no such thing as a coincidence in this world. It's impossible that you would block our path right after we were attacked by the Spirit Empire. You actually disregarded the hatred from back then and cooperated with the Spirit Hall."
"Tang Xiao, you do have some insight. No wonder you've been the sect master of Haotian Sect for so many years. It's just a pity that your judgment is a bit poor and your strength is a bit low."
"What else do you know? You must have something to rely on if you dare to attack us like this."
Yang Podi couldn't help but laugh: "I have some bad news for you. Your Haotian Sect's former sect leader, Tang Chen, is dead. As for your good nephew, Tang San, is he really your nephew? Tang Hao, what do you think?"
Tang Hao, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes: "Yang Podi, what do you know? Why are you saying these things? You could never have killed my grandfather."
"I'm a little embarrassed. Your grandfather has been missing for so many years, and you actually saw him in person, but unfortunately you were blind and didn't recognize him. Isn't it a bit too late to say these things now?"
"Nonsense! My grandfather was a peerless hero, universally acknowledged as the greatest martial artist in the world. How could he possibly have perished?"
"I forgot to tell you about Tang Chen. Tang Chen, the former sect master of the Haotian Sect, pursued becoming a god at level 100. Back then, he underwent the Nine Trials of Asura in the City of Slaughter. Unfortunately, he failed all nine trials. During the eighth trial, he was ambushed by the Rakshasa God and possessed by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King. All these years, he has been the Slaughter King you have seen. How about that? Surprised? Unexpected?"
"The King of Slaughter? How is that possible? How could such an evil person be my grandfather?"
"You should know in your heart whether or not, besides Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect, how many people in the world truly have the strength to rule the entire Slaughter City? And how many people can suppress you, Tang Hao, without using soul skills?"
Upon hearing this, both Tang Xiao and Tang Hao fell silent, seemingly reflecting on the past of the King of Slaughter.
After thinking for a while, the two of them seemed to burst into tears: "Grandfather, Grandfather, how could you have come to this end? How could our dignified Haotian Sect, the number one sect in the world, have fallen to such a state?"
Yang Podi ignored their pain and continued, "Tang Hao, there's another question. You say Tang San is your son, but is he really your son? Others may not know, but you are a Title Douluo who has watched Tang San grow up. You should know more about the abnormalities in Tang San than anyone else."
Tang Hao looked shocked: "What do you know? The mistress is my son."
Yang Podi couldn't help but laugh: "As far as I know, before Tang San awakened his twin martial souls, you always ignored him and let him fend for himself. Only after he awakened his twin martial souls did you start to want to cultivate him."
"There's another point. Tang San's strange and unusual abilities, those so-called Tang Sect secret techniques, he started secretly practicing them before he was six years old. Don't tell me you, his father, know nothing about them."
Tang Hao suddenly turned extremely cold: "What else do you know?"
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking: "Tang San is half the son of a soul beast, possessing the bloodline of a soul beast, which is one of the reasons why Di Tian secretly helped him. Another point is that I also took that 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor soul bone that you hid in the cave. Although it's not very suitable for me, such a treasure is free to take."
"As for the Blue Silver Emperor in the cave, I have no interest in her at all. And I killed the Blue Silver King in the Blue Silver Forest. I'm afraid your son Tang San will never be able to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline in this lifetime."
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao couldn't help but curse angrily: "You brat, killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, what exactly are you trying to achieve by doing this?"
Yang Podi's face turned extremely sinister: "What a fine 'for what?' During the war with the Haotian Sect, my Po clan was abandoned by your Haotian Sect, suffering countless deaths and injuries. This is what your Haotian Sect owes us. I didn't even want to cause you any trouble, but you shameless bunch actually dared to come to Almo Mountain. Who gave you the nerve?"
At this moment, Tang Xiao suddenly spoke up: "What happened that day may have been wrong of my Clear Sky Sect, but don't forget, it was the Spirit Hall that massacred your entire Po Clan. You actually disregarded the hatred and colluded with the Spirit Hall. How can you face those who died in your Po Clan?"
Yang Podi sneered: "Don't worry about that. Whether it's the Clear Sky Sect or the Spirit Hall, they will all pay the price for what happened back then."
"You can go in peace."
