Ning Fengzhi nodded, indicating he understood. In fact, he had initially considered directly using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's name to hinder the Tang Sect's development, but ultimately dismissed the idea. The Tang Sect was still a wandering force after all; severely damaging them was easy, but completely eliminating them would be difficult.
If they couldn't be completely eradicated and the Sect was openly pushed into opposition with the Tang Sect, it was highly likely that these "rats" would retaliate against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's caravans from the shadows in the future. One should know that the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce could be considered the largest chamber of commerce on the entire continent. Open attacks are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against. It was impossible to sweep the entire continent just for those few Tang Sect rats hiding in the dark.
Establishing the Evil Extermination Sect, on the other hand, could solve this problem perfectly. The Evil Extermination Sect didn't engage in commercial activities, and its members were basically all independent Soul Masters and the Beast Kings under Ning Bei. If you wanted trouble, just come; the Evil Extermination Sect was always welcoming.
"I will send people to support Da Ming and the others in setting up Evil Extermination Sect branches throughout the Heaven Dou Empire. The rest you can handle yourselves."
"Okay."
The next day, Tang San, completely wrapped in a loose black robe, also successfully arrived in the Heaven Dou Empire. As Ning Bei expected, Tang San went straight to the Moon Pavilion.
Tang Yuehua, who had just finished her morning class and entered the Rest Area, found a man in black sitting on the sofa. Because his face was hidden by the black robe, she couldn't immediately recognize her nephew. At the same time, her entire body tensed up like prey being targeted by a hunter, and she cautiously retreated two steps back to the Rest Area entrance.
"Who are you? What do you want with me?"
"Aunt, it's been several years. Are you well?"
A familiar voice entered her ears, and Tang Yuehua was startled. Then, she looked excitedly at the black-robed person and tentatively asked:
"Little San?"
"It's me, Aunt."
Pulling down the black robe covering his face, Tang San's expression changed from his usual gloom, revealing a trace of a smile. Only in front of Tang Yuehua did he feel relaxed.
Seeing the familiar face, Tang Yuehua could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart. She quickly stepped forward and hugged the only remaining relative she had.
"All these years, you didn't even send a letter to tell Aunt you were safe."
"Sorry, Aunt, I've been tied up with the God Test for the past two years and really couldn't get away."
Tang San frowned slightly. He really didn't want Tang Yuehua to know what he had done in Star Luo, fearing that his only relative wouldn't understand him, so he could only brush it off.
"Then have you completed your God Test?"
Mentioning the God Test, Tang Yuehua immediately forgot the small matter of Tang San not contacting her for several years. She knew her nephew deeply wanted revenge for his parents and clan, so she couldn't help much and couldn't hold him back.
Tang San's eyes gradually dimmed, and he shook his head with a hint of loneliness.
"It wasn't very smooth. This time I might have to find a place to settle in the Heaven Dou Empire and rebuild my own force."
"Then... Aunt still has some assets here. Take them and see if they can be of use."
Seeing Tang Yuehua immediately about to go back to her room to get her years of savings for him, Tang San's heart instantly warmed, but he quickly grabbed her arm and shook his head.
"No need, Aunt. For now, money isn't what I urgently need. It's establishing a force that will make certain powers uneasy. They won't easily allow me to make the Tang Sect flourish."
"Is that so? Then does Aunt need to go see His Majesty or Sect Leader Ning to plead for you? See if they can provide some help."
Hearing this, Tang San's eyes turned cold again. He had already heard about Dai Weisi being conferred the title of Earl White Tiger by Xue Qinghe, and the sudden appearance of the Evil Extermination Sect, which had a Titled Douluo overseeing it. The Heaven Dou Empire couldn't do that. In his estimation, it was highly probable that the Heaven Dou Empire had completely defected to the Spirit Hall, perhaps even certain.
The Spirit Hall using means to deliver a devastating blow to the Star Luo Empire, followed by the Heaven Dou Empire rapidly sending troops to occupy the entire Star Luo territory – no matter how you looked at it, this was a carefully planned conspiracy. Therefore, seeking help from Xue Qinghe's side at this time was unrealistic.
"No need, Aunt. The Heaven Dou Empire has very likely defected to the Spirit Hall. They won't help me, and even if they do, it might be with ulterior motives."
"Ah? That's impossible, right?"
Seeing the look of disbelief on Tang Yuehua's face, Tang San shook his head. He believed his judgment wouldn't be wrong.
"Aunt, let me worry about these things. I just came back this time to simply see you."
"I'm sorry, Little San, Aunt doesn't have much ability and can't help you."
Hearing Tang San say this, Tang Yuehua seemed a little disappointed. Although her position in the Clear Sky Sect was special, she was ultimately just a useless person who couldn't cultivate.
"Aunt shouldn't belittle herself. At least with you here, Little San still has a home to return to."
Tang Yuehua nodded with satisfaction, then, under Tang San's puzzled gaze, still walked back into her room.
After a while, Tang Yuehua returned, stuffing a few Soul Tools into Tang San's hands.
"Little San, you should still take this money. It's useless if it stays with Aunt. Your Sect will definitely need money to be established."
"This..."
Seeing Tang San still trying to refuse, Tang Yuehua immediately said unhappily:
"This is all the help Aunt can give. Are you even going to refuse this?"
"Alright, Little San thanks Aunt again."
"Good child, that's right. Stay at the Moon Pavilion for a while this time and tell Aunt all about your experiences over the past two years."
Tang San felt a slight guilt in his heart, but he could only fabricate some experiences to appease his aunt. After all, he couldn't explicitly say that he had already embarked on a path similar to that of an Evil Soul Master.
After two full days, Tang San finally had time to leave the Moon Pavilion and go to Shrek Academy. Regardless, Grandmaster and he had the name of master and disciple, so it was necessary to pay a visit.
Arriving at the entrance of Shrek Academy, two years hadn't brought many changes here, except for the change in gatekeepers, who didn't recognize him. After explaining, the other party also hurried inside the academy, while he waited patiently.
Just as Tang San was occasionally looking at the students entering and exiting the academy gate, a familiar shout came from behind him.
"Tang San? Is that you?"
His identity revealed, Tang San turned around in surprise and saw a slightly overweight young man looking him up and down with a look of surprise. Beside him was a young man with Peach Blossom Eyes.
"Ma Hongjun? And... Oscar?"
"Haha, it really is you! Xiao Ao and I just saw you and almost didn't recognize you!"
"Yeah, yeah, where did you run off to after we parted outside Spirit City back then?"
After all, they had several years of camaraderie, and the three of them were especially happy to reunite. Ma Hongjun even skillfully put his arm around Tang San's shoulder and walked into the academy with him, arm in arm.
"Let's go, let's go, we'll talk more inside. We have to have a good drink later, and tell the brothers about our experiences over the years."
Tang San, who hadn't had someone put an arm around his shoulder in years, instinctively frowned slightly, but he forcefully suppressed the discomfort in his heart and didn't react.
