Chapter 163: Holy Spirit Church and Tang Sect Are Sworn Enemies
Tang San's scheme, as it was slowly revealed by the Sky curtain,
plunged the entire continent into discontent.
First, there was the Holy Spirit Church.
As an evil Soul Master organization,
The Holy Spirit Church was hostile to both Shrek and the declining Tang Sect.
Tang San manipulated Huo Yuhao's life,
making the Child of Luck of this era a pawn in his hands, standing with the Shrek faction to revive the Tang Sect,
which undoubtedly conflicted with the Holy Spirit Church's interests.
The Holy Spirit Church would absolutely not allow Tang San's scheme to continue.
"Gather all elders!"
"Man against God—what endless joy."
Zhongli Wu spoke coldly.
He clearly saw the situation.
Once Huo Yuhao truly developed his life according to Tang San's plans, the Holy Spirit Church would inevitably meet a bad end.
The rise of the Tang Sect was destined to be accompanied by the downfall of a colossal power.
Therefore, Zhongli Wu wanted to change all of this.
Even if Tang San was a God, Zhongli Wu would resist to the very end.
Anyway, the Holy Spirit Church was a bunch of lunatics.
Even a God—evil Soul Masters—were not afraid of them.
Not long after...
The elders of the Holy Spirit Church arrived one after another.
Even Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao came to the main hall of the Holy Spirit Church.
"Everyone, Tang San, as a God, for his own selfish reasons, uses the beings of the Lower Realm as pawns."
"Tang San wants to revive the Tang Sect, and he wants Huo Yuhao to join Shrek."
"Once the Child of Luck of this era becomes a sharp sword in Tang San's hands,"
"Then all matters on the continent in the future will be at Tang San's mercy."
"Whether the Holy Spirit Church lives or dies will also be at his whim."
"I believe none of you present wishes to see this outcome."
Zhongli Wu's words made everyone's expressions grave.
Even the usually composed Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui looked grim.
Zhongli Wu spoke again.
"Currently, Huo Yuhao has not yet fallen into Shrek's hands."
"We still have a chance!"
"Since Tang San wants to play chess, then we will overturn the chessboard."
Zhongli Wu already had a plan in mind.
Everyone listened, all curious,
waiting for Zhongli Wu's next instructions.
"From today onward, the Holy Spirit Church will mobilize all its members to eliminate those of the Tang Sect."
"Since the Tang Sect has already declined, we will make the Tang Sect disappear from the world."
"All of the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons Cultivation Techniques will be destroyed."
"We will completely sever the Tang Sect's legacy."
Zhongli Wu's plan astonished the elders of the Holy Spirit Church.
Once the Tang Sect's legacy was severed,
It would be equivalent to offending a God to the point of no return.
Tang San's hatred for the Holy Spirit Church would be endless.
"From the moment Tang San interfered with the Lower Realm, we all became pawns on his chessboard."
"In his eyes, we are nothing more than stepping stones for the Tang Sect's revival."
"If we don't strike first, Tang San will not spare us either."
"Don't forget the Spirit Hall, which was regarded as a Holy Land by countless Soul Masters ten thousand years ago."
"If we don't resist, the fate of the Spirit Hall will also be the end for the Holy Spirit Church."
Zhongli Wu knew that confronting a God required a certain amount of courage and madness.
If he could, he also didn't want to be in an endless struggle with Tang San.
But the conflict between the two sides was initiated by Tang San.
Therefore, the Holy Spirit Church could only be forced to resist.
"That's right!"
"From today onward, we will sever the Tang Sect's legacy at all costs."
After a moment of silence, all the elders agreed to Zhongli Wu's plan.
They all saw that this was the best way out at the moment.

Mingdou Mountain.
Dai Hao clenched his fists, sometimes furious, sometimes helpless.
As a father, Dai Hao was filled with anger upon learning that Huo Yuhao's life had been manipulated by Tang San from the moment of his birth.
No one wanted their son to be constantly used by others.
But Tang San was a God, and compared to him, Dai Hao was like heaven and earth apart.
Moreover, Huo Yun'er's soul was still in his opponent's hands.
Dai Hao, knowing that Huo Yun'er still had hope of resurrection, naturally did not want to give up.
"What should I, this father, do?"
"I cannot let Yuhao fall into Tang San's fire pit."
"Nor can I let Yun'er lose her chance to be resurrected."
Dai Hao's expression was solemn as he pondered deeply.
The soldiers, seeing Dai Hao's anxious appearance, dared not disturb him.
They knew Dai Hao was suffering.
"Isn't it just wanting to revive the Tang Sect?"
"I, Dai Hao, will be this pawn!"
"I am willing to spend my entire life to fulfill this plan."
The solution Dai Hao finally conceived was for himself to be the pawn.
He was willing to spare no effort to strengthen the Tang Sect and satisfy Tang San.
As long as Tang San's goal was achieved,
He would not make things difficult for Huo Yun'er.
By then, with Huo Yun'er resurrected,
He could make up for all his shortcomings.
As for Huo Yuhao, Dai Hao would keep him away from all of this.
Once he found Huo Yuhao, he would give him a new life.
What Shrek, what Tang Sect—Dai Hao would not let Huo Yuhao come into contact with them.
He, this father, would do it for his son.
This was the only way Dai Hao could make amends to Huo Yuhao.
He owed him too much over the years.
Dai Hao could no longer watch him suffer.

Shrek.
Mu En convened a Sea God Pavilion meeting.
He began to facilitate Tang San's grand plan.
Since Tang San wanted to revive the Tang Sect, Mu En would naturally comply with this wish and do so unreservedly.
Shrek would always be Tang San's most loyal dog.
And Huo Yuhao, this Child of Luck favored by Tang San, the Tang Clan's son-in-law.
Mu En would also do everything to cultivate him.
In short, whatever Tang San wanted to do, Shrek would do.
This was Mu En's resolve.
Regarding Mu En's proposal, Everyone in the Sea God Pavilion chose to accept it.
After all, Tang San's influence, even after ten thousand years, was still widely spread in Shrek.
They still hoped that after Tang San was satisfied, he would bestow some help upon Shrek.
If they had a God backing them, Shrek would be uninhibited across the entire continent.

Douluo Dalu's plane, the Clear Sky Sect.
Da Ming frowned deeply.
"Who exactly is orchestrating everything here?"
"With Tang San's plan exposed, if the God Realm Committee catches wind of it, he will likely be severely punished."
As one of the Divine Officials, Da Ming was very aware of the rules of the God Realm.
Tang San's actions could already be considered a violation of the rules.
Once the scenes exposed by the Sky curtain were known to the God Realm,
Tang San would certainly not escape punishment.
Especially the God of Destruction, who would undoubtedly seize this opportunity to make trouble for Tang San.
The conflict between Tang San and the God of Destruction had been building for a long time.
Once Tang San had a flaw, the God of Destruction would not miss this opportunity.
"Big Brother, what should we do?"
"We thought we were just watching a show, but we didn't expect Huo Yuhao to be Tang San's pawn."
"Now that variables have occurred, everything will probably become troublesome."
Er Ming's head was as big as a bucket, and he was very helpless.
He didn't know if the God Realm was in chaos at this moment.
"We just need to do our best to find Huo Yuhao!"
"He is the Child of Luck of this era, and his existence is extremely important."

T/N: Honestly, I don't understand why the author is trying to whitewash Dai Hao. If you ask me who's truly responsible for Huo Yuhao's tragic early life, it's definitely Dai Hao. There's no way he didn't know about Huo Yuhao's existence — after all, as the master of the Duke's Mansion, how could something like that possibly be hidden from him?
