บท 245: Chapter 134 Hello, President Liu_2
However, the five surviving disciples of the Hao Tian Clan disagreed.
They looked at Tang Chen and wailed, "Elder Ancestor, we would accept sacrificing our lives if you needed us to, but what's the deal with this youngster?"
"Exactly, is his life more valuable than ours? Can one person's life really be equivalent to the five of ours?"
"Elder Ancestor, I can't accept this. As fellow disciples of the Hao Tian Clan, why should we be the ones to die?"
"Elder Ancestor, we acknowledge assisting the Hao Tian Clan by saving you, but why should we use our own lives to save him?"
The crowd spoke indignantly.
Their grievances were higher than mountains.
Sacrificing their lives for Tang Chen was something they could barely accept. Yet now they were expected to sacrifice their lives for Tang San, and they refused.
"Hmph, when has the world ever been filled with so many whys?"
At this moment, Tang Hao coldly snorted, "My son, Tang San, has the potential to become a Titled Douluo. What about you? Even becoming Soul Sages or Soul Douluo would be pushing it. Even if the lives of you five were combined, they wouldn't be worth as much as my son, Tang San's life. Tell me, shouldn't you die?"
As his voice fell, a powerful soul power fluctuation burst forth, pinning the remaining five Hao Tian Clan disciples to the ground, unable to move.
"Xiaosan, what are you standing there for? Get moving!"
Tang Hao then looked at Tang San, who was somewhat in a daze, and barked a command.
"Alright."
Tang San nodded vigorously, then picked up a dagger and approached one of the Sect Disciples, imitating Tang Chen's previous actions.
Before long, a Hao Tian Clan disciple was completely drained of blood, his eyes wide open as he collapsed to the ground.
Soon after, another disciple died with his eyes still open.
Then, one by one, more disciples of the Hao Tian Clan fell.
Three, four, five...
And after Tang San drained the blood of the five Sect Disciples, he actually burped contentedly, his face showing a relieved smile.
"Haha, good, the majority of the hidden danger is finally eliminated."
It felt as if a massive invisible boulder had been lifted from his heart.
"Elder Ancestor, Uncle Hao, the Sect Disciples have prepared a feast to welcome you and cleanse you of the dust from the road,"
Suddenly, the voice of Tang Hu came from outside the cave.
"This..."
Tang San was startled, just about to stop Tang Hu from coming in, but it was too late.
The figure of Tang Hu had already appeared in the cave.
"My God!"
"They, what happened to them... happened to them..."
Tang Hu stretched out trembling hands, pointing at the dried corpses on the ground, struggling to get his words out due to shock.
Not much time had passed since he left. Thirty or so vibrant youths had all died.
Undoubtedly, the scene before him dealt a massive blow to Tang Hu's heart.
Tang San looked towards Tang Hao.
Tang Hao looked towards Tang Chen.
Tang Chen in turn looked at Tang Hu, and suddenly sighed, "Ah, this is all my fault."
Huh?
Tang Hao and Tang San both appeared astonished. Was the Elder Ancestor planning to come clean? Could it be that he was considering killing Tang Hu to silence him?
In fact, it wasn't impossible.
But Tang Hu was the leader among the surviving members of the Hao Tian Clan and still held value in managing these people. Killing him would surely cause some complications.
Unless they chose to ignore the remaining members of the Hao Tian Clan and walk away.
"Elder Ancestor, what, what exactly happened here? How is this related to you?"
Tang Hu looked bewilderingly at Tang Chen, hoping to receive a satisfactory explanation.
Instead of directly answering Tang Hu, Tang Chen questioned back, "Now that it has come to this, I won't hide it from you any longer. Tang Hu, have you ever heard of our Hao Tian Clan's supreme secret technique, the Big Xumi Hammer?"
The Big Xumi Hammer!
Tang Hu was taken aback, "Of course, I've heard of it. It is rumored to be the ultimate secret technique of our Hao Tian Clan, a divine skill. When paired with the Hao Tian Hammer, even the power of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring pales in comparison to the Big Xumi Hammer."
As he spoke, an uncontrollable fervor filled his eyes.
Every direct disciple of the Hao Tian Clan had heard legends of the Big Xumi Hammer.
"Exactly."
After hearing Tang Hu's words, Tang Chen nodded, "The Big Xumi Hammer is our Hao Tian Clan's most supreme secret technique, with extremely stringent conditions for cultivation. The first requirement is the purity of bloodline.
What Xiaosan did earlier was to test the bloodline purity of these Hao Tian Clan disciples. They were barely qualified, meeting the threshold necessary for cultivation. Hence, I brought them here, hoping they could successfully cultivate the Hao Tian Clan's Big Xumi Hammer and enhance their own strength as well as the sect's."
"The outcome..."
Tang Chen said, shaking his head with a sigh.
Tang Hu said blankly, "So, they failed, right? And they paid with their lives?"
Tang Chen nodded slightly, "Indeed, their cultivation level was too weak, and their bodies weren't strong enough. They simply couldn't withstand the overwhelming power of the Big Xumi Hammer and suffered from soul power backlash. All the blood and vapor in their bodies were evaporated."
"This... The Big Xumi Hammer, it's so domineering..."
Tang Hu opened his mouth wide in shock, disbelief written all over his face.
"If you desire domineering power, you must pay the corresponding price... This world is fair after all," Tang Chen said indifferently with his hands behind his back to Tang Hu.
Looking back at Tang Hu, it seemed as though he had gleaned something from Tang Chen's words, as all his thoughts turned into a heavy sigh, "For the Hao Tian Clan to rise, there must be those who sacrifice, even their lives. And this is their fate."
Tap tap tap.
Tang Chen took a few steps forward, came up to Tang Hu, and patted his shoulder.
"I am relieved to hear you think this way. Also, arrange for some people to clean up this place. They were all good children of our Hao Tian Clan, and they should be buried with the highest rites, to comfort their spirits in heaven," Tang Chen said.
Upon hearing Tang Chen's words, Tang Hu's eyes began to shimmer with tears, "Ancestor, I will arrange it right away."
After speaking, Tang Hu turned and left.
In the blink of an eye, only Tang Chen, Tang Hao, and Tang San were left in the cave.
"Xiaosan, what's on your mind?"
Tang Chen noticed something unusual about Tang San's expression.
Tang San asked, "Ancestor, I want to know, what exactly is the Big Xumi Hammer of the Hao Tian Clan?"
"Is that what this is about? You must have heard our conversation just now. The Big Xumi Hammer is the supreme secret technique of our Hao Tian Clan, only passed down to each Sect Master," Tang Chen said seriously to Tang San. "To put it plainly, only our lineage can cultivate it."
Tang San asked again, "Is there really a requirement for the bloodline? And if the cultivation fails, will it really result in the cultivator's death?"
"Hahaha, of course not," Tang Chen laughed heartily after hearing Tang San's question. "Those words were just to deceive Tang Hu. Not to mention him, even the elders of the sect don't know the risks involved in the cultivation process of the Big Xumi Hammer, let alone how dangerous I say it is, right?"
This...
Truly cunning and shrewd...
Tang San was taken aback, not expecting Tang Chen to be so adept at spinning tall tales.
"In the future, I must be careful with whatever he tells me, for who knows if he is setting a trap for me."
Thinking this to himself, he outwardly said, "Ancestor, Xiaosan will go find a place to concoct medicine for you."
A satisfied smile appeared on Tang Chen's face, "After we deal with the hidden dangers in our bodies, Hao'er, you can pass on the supreme secret technique of the sect to Xiaosan."
Tang Hao nodded solemnly, "Yes."
...
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Blue Tyrant Academy.
"Yiran, you have just cleared the toxins, and your body is still very weak. Take a good rest for now," Qin Xiao said softly, as he gently placed Meng Yiran on the bed.
Yiran nodded lightly, "Your Highness, it won't be long before Yiran recovers, and then..."
She trailed off, her pretty face turning rosy.
Qin Xiao was no novice, of course he understood what she meant.
He smiled slightly, "Let's talk about that when you are healed. Also, sometimes, actions speak louder than words."
Ah, this...
Meng Yiran's heart fluttered upon hearing Qin Xiao's words. What did Your Highness mean?
A hint?
Did he want her to take the initiative?
But by the time she cleared her thoughts, she found that Qin Xiao had already left the room.
...
At that moment.
Outside the room, a hurried figure stopped Qin Xiao in his tracks.
He asked with some surprise, "President Liu, what's the matter?"
Liu Erlong's expression suddenly changed, "You called me, President Liu?"
