Chapter 209: Tang Hao: Ah Yin Will Just Have to Suffer a Bit More
"Immortal Herb? Is it some kind of incredibly powerful, top-grade medicinal herb?"
Hearing this term, Ning Fengzhi, who was guarding the front of the carriage, was slightly stunned, appearing somewhat confused.
Just what kind of flora could cause a well-informed Titled Douluo to lose his composure in such a manner?
"Tsk tsk tsk, Chrysanthemum Guan, I see you, you androgynous fellow, actually have some modicum of insight."
Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, mocking loudly and without mercy, "How about it? Why not consider abandoning the darkness for the light and joining our Tang Sect? As long as you kneel and beg the Grand Elder, perhaps he might be in a good mood and grant you some of the scraps left over by our Little Monsters, just to let a country bumpkin like you broaden your horizons!"
Being publicly humiliated by Dugu Bo in such a way caused Yue Guan's face to flush between green and purple.
But what made him feel even more humiliated and desperate was that... in the face of Dugu Bo's mockery, a faint stir of longing and temptation actually arose from the depths of his heart!
The peerless treasure he, Yue Guan, had pursued for half his life and dreamed of obtaining had actually appeared before his eyes today—and it seemed as if the Tang Sect was dealing them out like wholesale goods! Unfortunately, these Immortal Herbs already belonged to someone else.
Yue Guan bit down hard on the tip of his tongue, quickly using the pain to suppress the frantic desire within his heart. He had not forgotten that the "Young Lord" of Spirit Hall was currently sitting in that carriage, watching everything! If he dared to show even the slightest hint of rebellion, his life back there would definitely be worse than death.
"Old Poisoner! Cease your nonsense!" Yue Guan roared, his voice sharp but lacking true confidence.
At that moment, Jiang Li slowly descended from mid-air, landing in front of Dugu Bo and the others.
He cast a cold glance at Ning Fengzhi before turning toward Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, today I shall spare your wretched lives for the time being."
"But remember, this is the first and last time. If there is a next time, I will surely grind your bones to ash and scatter them to the winds!"
"Now, take your people... and get lost!"
Hearing Jiang Li's "get lost," Yue Guan and Gui Mei felt no anger; instead, they let out a massive sigh of relief.
As if receiving a grand pardon, the two of them raised their hands in perfect unison and bowed most respectfully toward Jiang Li before turning to flee.
At the edge of the battlefield, Luo Er Diyala, who was tied up like a twisted dough stick by thick Blue Silver Emperor Vines with his mouth even gagged, had countless massive question marks floating above his head:
No, wait, what about me? Who am I? What am I doing?
...
At this critical juncture where the three forces were in a stalemate, Tang Hao, who had been lurking in the shadows like a rat in a sewer, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
His original scheme was to wait for Spirit Hall and the Tang Sect to fight until both were wounded, then jump out to fish in troubled waters.
But he never expected that these two Elders sent by Spirit Hall would be such good-for-nothings! Never mind that they, as prestigious Rank 95 Super Douluos, couldn't defeat a "Clan Servants" like Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo, they were actually scared witless by a single nonchalant sentence from Jiang Li!
However, the old scoundrel Tang Hao was being quite cunning at this moment—or rather, the IQ of these "naturally evil" Tang Family members often soared to the Peak of their lives when performing such sneaky and despicable acts!
"These two good-for-nothings really can't be relied upon; everything still depends on me!"
A flash of disdain crossed Tang Hao's eyes; he felt that he truly shouldn't have held much expectation for them.
Back then, they were blown apart by a single strike of his hammer when he had just entered the Titled Douluo realm. After all these years, they were still such good-for-nothings!
Tang Hao suddenly surged the dormant Soul Power within his body, charging straight toward the carriage where Tang San and Xiao Wu were located.
To completely confuse the situation, this big rat actually had the audacity to scream at the top of his lungs during his charge:
"Elder Chrysanthemum, Elder Ghost! Retreat quickly! Subordinate coming to cover the rear!"
This single shout directly stunned Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Ning Fengzhi, and the others in mid-air.
Everyone looked at each other, their minds filled with question marks: Who is this black-robed man?
Spirit Hall had clearly only sent the two of them to lead the team this time! Furthermore, the one sitting in that carriage was their Spirit Hall's Young Lord; which Subordinate of Spirit Hall would be so blind as to attack their own Young Lord's carriage?!
"Excellency Jiang Li! This... this is absolutely a slander!"
Yue Guan's scalp tingled, fearing Jiang Li would use this as a pretext. He just wanted to explain that this was a frame-up, but he was nonchalantly interrupted by Jiang Li raising a hand.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, no need to be nervous. I naturally know that with your statuses, you would certainly not commit such a base act."
Jiang Li looked down at the black shadow from above, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"This person hides his head and shows his tail, acting with such deceit; it is truly the behavior of a rat. Since he is coming for my Tang Sect, the Tang Sect will naturally resolve it."
With that, Jiang Li discreetly gave Yang Wudi a look.
Yang Wudi understood instantly!
He was wondering why that black-robed figure scurrying out like a rat looked so familiar—that nauseating, concealed aura... it turned out to be that unfaithful and unrighteous dog, Tang Hao! He finally caught his opportunity!
...
Meanwhile, inside the carriage below.
Tang San keenly perceived an extremely powerful yet vaguely "familiar" Soul Power fluctuation, carrying a chilling Killing Intent as it charged toward them.
His entire being instantly became like a fully drawn bow, alert to the extreme.
'Damned thing! To dare attack our carriage at this time, you are simply seeking your own death!"
In mid-air, Tang Hao's eyes beneath the hood stared fixedly at Tang San in the carriage.
After so long, seeing this rebellious son once again, a ripple of emotion instinctively rose in Tang Hao's heart.
But this strange emotion was instantly and coldly extinguished by him.
Now, he had Tang Bufan as a brand-new hope and a continuation of his Bloodline!
If this rebellious son Tang San dared to obstruct his grand plan to revive the Clear Sky Sect again, he would simply treat it as if he never had this son and personally clean out the household!
Furthermore, as a Titled Douluo, Tang Hao could clearly perceive that Tang San's right leg was emitting an extremely special Soul Power fluctuation—it was precisely the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone left behind by Ah Yin!
He should have stopped Tang San from absorbing it back when he saw it!
But it was still not too late to remedy it now!
'Such a supreme treasure being left on this rebellious son is truly a good-for-nothing of a god-given gift. I might as well take it today and use it for my Fan'er's Foundation Establishment!"
Tang Hao calculated within his heart without any bottom line.
" Ah Yin, since I have already failed you once... for the sake of my Fan'er having a bright future, you will just have to suffer a bit more!"
'I believe you will understand me!"
