Chapter 89: Do Not Say Things That Are Not Conducive to Unity; Vast Sea City
Hearing Tang Xiao's compromise, the corners of the mouths of the Clear Sky Sect's Elders couldn't help but curve into a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
The few of them moved their lips a few times, discussed via secret sound transmission, and then Tang Lie spoke up,
"First point, the share allotted to us by Moon Pavilion is too small; we need an additional allocation later."
"As for whether Moon Pavilion increases revenue, cuts expenses, or if the Sect Master is willing to take from his own share to give to us out of concern for his sister, that is your business; we only look at the result."
Tang Yuehua felt terrible upon hearing this.
When she initially wanted to go out and establish Moon Pavilion, none of these so-called Elders agreed. It was her father—that great fool who was angered to death by Tang Hao—who shouldered the pressure to allow Moon Pavilion to open.
As a result, these Elders were like hungry wolves smelling blood. Upon seeing Moon Pavilion's profits, they all wanted a piece of the pie.
And they had just insulted her as a waste the second before, and now they wanted to take resources from her the next second. What did this make her, the dignified Third Young Miss of the Clear Sky Sect?
"Elders, the resources Moon Pavilion currently allocates to you are already substantial. If we add more, even the daily operations will face major issues. Aren't your demands a bit excessive?"
Tang Yuehua said, her eyes red.
"Excessive?"
Tang Lie felt like he had just heard something incredibly funny.
"If that wicked creature hadn't caused that incident back then, how would our Clear Sky Sect have suffered such a great loss?"
"My Son wouldn't have perished in the battle against Spirit Hall either."
Saying this, Tang Lie seemed to recall something and spoke with a cold laugh, "Don't forget how your father died!"
"Enough!"
Tang Xiao spoke up to interrupt.
There were some things that the high-ranking members like them should keep to themselves, such as the fact that their father was literally angered to death by the filial son Tang Hao.
It was both a scandal and a secret that could not be spoken of.
"Seventh Elder, do not say things that are not conducive to unity."
"I agree to your demand. It will be deducted from my share."
"If you have any other demands, bring them up quickly. After today, this matter is never to be mentioned again."
The group of old fogeys in the Clear Sky Sect never expected Tang Xiao to yield so easily. If that was the case...
"We won't trouble the Sect Master and the others with the matter concerning that bastard from the Tang Sect and those white-eyed wolves. My brothers and I will make a personal trip."
"As long as the Four Single-Attribute Families are dogs of my Clear Sky Sect for one day, they should be dogs of my Clear Sky Sect for all generations."
Tang Lie emphasized his tone when he finished speaking, "Whether it's Tang Hao or that bastard, they are both sinners of the Sect. We old fellows will not allow them to acknowledge their ancestors and return to the clan!"
Seeing that the Elders held this view, Tang Xiao finally sighed helplessly and slowly nodded.
Incorporating the Tang Sect into the Clear Sky Sect was something he, as the Sect Master, naturally had no reason to refuse.
As for allowing Tang San and Tang Hao to acknowledge their ancestors and return to the clan in the future, he felt there would be plenty of time to scheme later.
By then, his Eldest Nephew Tang San, with his Twin Martial Souls cultivated to Major Achievement and becoming a Titled Douluo expert, coupled with his Brother Hao and himself—three Titled Douluo—returning to the clan would be a natural progression.
"Elders, there is one thing I still need to inform you about."
"Little San's Master, Jiang Li, is now a Titled Douluo possessing a 100,000-year soul ring, and his Martial Soul is the Blue Silver Grass."
When these old fogeys heard about Jiang Li, they were initially surprised, but upon learning that his Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass, they immediately felt confident again.
Wasn't their Clear Sky Hammer the number one Tool Spirit in the world, something that a mere weed could compare to?
As for Jiang Li's 100,000-year soul ring...
"Heh heh, that kid is quite lucky. However, a 100,000-year soul ring must yield a 100,000-year-old soul bone. Once the Tang Sect returns to our Clear Sky Sect, that kid will merely be a slave in our Clear Sky Sect's outer Sect."
"Keeping such a treasure in his hands is truly a waste; it must be handed over to us so it can exert its maximum effect."
Tang Lie said proudly.
"Exactly, exactly."
"Old Seven speaks correctly. Treasures naturally go to the destined one."
... Meanwhile, Jiang Li, unaware that he had been targeted by the wicked people of the Clear Sky Sect, was swiftly leading Tang San and the others toward the west of the Douluo Continent.
After traveling for a long time, they finally arrived at the city located at the westernmost edge of the continent, Vast Sea City.
"Hey, Little San, the Soul Masters here feel completely different from the Soul Masters on the continent."
"And the air has a salty taste."
Upon reaching Vast Sea City, Xiao Wu was quite curious about everything around her.
As a rabbit who had lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for countless tens of thousands of years, this was the first time in her rabbit life she had been to the seaside.
"Little San, since Xiao Wu is curious, you should take her for a stroll around here. Just make sure to arrive at that most luxurious hotel over there before evening."
After Jiang Li finished speaking, he saw Xiao Wu grab Tang San's hand and run off in a flash.
The old fogeys just chuckled lightly at this, paying it no mind.
"Alright everyone, next we need to split up temporarily. To go out to sea, we need to purchase suitable nautical spirit tools and maps at the Vast Sea City Auction House."
"Likewise, we also need to procure quite a few daily necessities sufficient for our use."
As Jiang Li's words fell, these old fogeys scattered in all directions.
Since this concerned their Ninth Soul Ring, every single one of these old fogeys was working harder than the last...
... In the evening, inside the most luxurious hotel in Vast Sea City, Jiang Li and the others sat around a huge round table, upon which the nautical charts for this trip were spread out.
They carefully marked the distribution of islands in the near and far seas, as well as the Orca Sea Area and the Devil Whale Sea Area that needed special attention to avoid.
The only thing missing was Sea God Island, known as Devil's Island.
However, Jiang Li didn't pay much attention to this.
As long as their goal for soul hunting this time was not the Demon Soul Great White Shark, they should temporarily avoid any intersection with Sea God Island.
Even if they encountered them, Tang Chen's identity could be borrowed for use.
He believed that Bo Saixi, that top-tier love-obsessed woman, would surely make the right choice for her beloved Chen, right?
As for running into that so-called pirate group?
Jiang Li declared that if that were truly the case, then his Human Emperor Banner would gain a few more destined people, heheheheehe—
