Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 34 Haozi reappears
As the sun sets, the farmers in the fields, carrying hoes and shovels, prepare to go home for dinner.

On a distant hill, three figures watched the small mountain village from afar.

"Brother Qiuyang, you've led us through these mountains for so many days, weren't you looking for the location of the Haotian Sect? How did we end up here?" Zhu Zhuqing asked in confusion.

Zhu Zhuyun covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Little brother Qiuyang, you're not lost, are you? If so, just say so. I'm pretty good at finding my way around."

Zhu Zhuyun thought that Ning Qiuyang couldn't find the Haotian Sect and had instead gotten lost.

"Ouch."

Ning Qiuyang tapped Zhu Zhuyun on the head.

This time, it was Zhu Zhuqing's turn to secretly smile.

Serves you right for always teasing Brother Qiuyang, you're being punished now, aren't you?

Ning Qiuyang indeed put in a lot of effort to find the location of the Haotian Sect.

Ever since Tang Hao fought a great battle with Qian Xunji, severely injuring Qian Xunji and ultimately causing his death at the hands of Bibi Dong, the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall have been at odds.

In the end, Haotian Sect had no choice but to relocate, close its doors, and go into seclusion.

Ning Qiuyang only knew the general location, but finding the exact location of Haotian Sect in the vast mountains was really not easy.

He had finally found it and felt that his efforts had not been in vain, but Zhu Zhuyun suddenly appeared at this moment.

Ning Qiuyang had long noticed that Zhu Zhuyun's gaze towards him had been somewhat strange these past few days.

After leaving Wuhun City, the initial admiration and awe gradually returned to the previous flirting and teasing, and there was even a tendency to escalate it.

"You still dare to doubt my judgment? This village is not as simple as it seems on the surface. You probably can't beat any of those farmers."

Zhu Zhuyun initially thought Ning Qiuyang was really angry, and she felt a little uneasy.

Upon realizing that Ning Qiuyang had only given her a minor punishment and wasn't angry, she immediately opened her big, watery eyes and hugged Ning Qiuyang's arm.

"My lord, Zhu Yun knows she was wrong. Please punish me as you see fit; I will accept any punishment."

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her teeth tightly.

She noticed that her sister's chanting had become increasingly difficult to interrupt lately.

She didn't care at all that her younger sister was still around, and she always said strange things to her brother Qiuyang, sometimes even going so far as to physically assault him.

Although Qiu Yang always seemed somewhat resistant, for some reason, his sister always managed to get her way, leaving Zhu Zhuqing both anxious and angry.

Brother Qiuyang, you're so capable, teach her a good lesson and stop her from being so presumptuous.

Unfortunately, Ning Qiuyang was too soft-hearted and could never bring herself to punish him.

However, Zhu Zhuqing now feels that if she can't beat them, she should join in, and not let Zhu Zhuyun benefit alone.

She grabbed Ning Qiuyang's other arm and asked:

"Brother Qiuyang, from what you're saying, could this village be the location of the Haotian Sect? And are these farmers disciples of the Haotian Sect?"

"Yes."

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat skeptical when she asked, but Ning Qiuyang gave an affirmative answer.

Zhu Zhuyun also found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Has the once mighty number one sect in the world fallen to this state?"

She couldn't see anything unusual about this ordinary little mountain village.

"If you could see through it so easily, the Haotian Sect would probably have been wiped out."

"I'm sorry, my lord."

Zhu Zhuyun felt deeply ashamed of how wrong she had been to doubt Ning Qiuyang, and rubbed against Ning Qiuyang's arm.

Zhu Zhuqing looked down at herself.

Damn it, just because someone is a few years older doesn't mean they're superior.

From another direction in this small mountain village, a figure draped in a black robe was also watching the village from afar.

Tang Hao had already learned about the relocation of the Haotian Sect from Tang Yuehua, and also obtained the sect's exact location.

But over the years, he hasn't come back to see it even once.

Because of him, the Haotian Sect suffered great losses and had to close its doors and hide like a stray dog. He always felt a little guilty about this.

But there are other reasons why he is unwilling to return to Haotian Sect.

Faced with pressure from the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect took the initiative to expel him from the sect.

Although Tang Hao knew that this was the best choice the Haotian Sect could make to avoid being wiped out, he still felt somewhat indignant.

As the most outstanding successor of the Haotian Sect, and inheriting the title of Haotian, he was once extremely proud and influential throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

He couldn't get over the fact that he had been abandoned by the sect and had taken the initiative to go back.

But now, he has a reason to come back.

Ever since Tang San was defeated by Ning Qiuyang, he has been determined to defeat Ning Qiuyang and avenge his defeat.

He was even somewhat dissatisfied with his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, which wasn't very powerful at the moment, and had wanted to add a Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer more than once.

Yu Xiaogang had to persuade him many times before he finally gave up the idea.

However, Tang San still couldn't forget Ning Qiuyang, and it almost caused him to develop inner demons.

Tang Hao had high hopes for Tang San, wanting to wait until Tang San grew up before settling scores with the Spirit Hall.

If Tang San doesn't defeat Ning Qiuyang once, he will probably fall into a demonic obsession sooner or later, affecting his cultivation speed, and even causing his soul power to stagnate after reaching a certain stage.

This is something Tang Hao cannot accept.

He had witnessed Ning Qiuyang's battle with Tang San and knew that Ning Qiuyang was highly talented and had received full support from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Tang San studied under Yu Xiaogang at an ordinary soul master school, making it extremely difficult for him to surpass Ning Qiuyang.

For Tang San's sake, and even more so for his own desire for revenge, Tang Hao was willing to humble himself and return to the Clear Sky Sect to obtain some resources that could improve Tang San's cultivation speed.

But even after arriving here, he still hesitated, finding it difficult to get past this mental hurdle.

He remained undecided until the moon was high in the sky.

Just then, he suddenly sensed streams of yin energy appearing in the area where the Haotian Sect was located.

"An enemy? Could it be someone from the Spirit Hall?"

Tang Hao had sensed an aura somewhat similar to this Yin energy from Ghost Douluo, and suspected that people from the Spirit Hall had arrived.

But Tang Hao was not worried at all; on the contrary, he was delighted.

If the Spirit Hall sends people to deal with the Clear Sky Sect, he can return to the Clear Sky Sect as a savior and save everyone from their suffering.

In this way, it would be perfectly reasonable for him to take some resources.

Even the oldest and most senior elders would probably have nothing to say.

Tang Hao was about to act when he stopped.

"No, I need to wait a little longer. Only if I reappear in a critical moment can the people of the Clear Sky Sect realize that only I can save the Clear Sky Sect. Reappearing too early will not be effective and may even make them think that I brought the people of the Spirit Hall here."

Having made his decision, Tang Hao waited quietly there.

He knew very well how powerful the Spirit Hall was. Since they dared to cause trouble for the Clear Sky Sect, the people who came must be very strong, and the Clear Sky Sect would definitely be in a tough battle.

We can only wait now.

Waiting for an opportunity for him to appear in front of everyone.
