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

Chapter 37 Super Seniority, Tang Hao Gets Beaten Up

"Let me ask you again, when the Clear Sky Sect and its affiliated sects were engaged in fierce battle with the Spirit Hall, you did not show up, did you?" Tang Xiao continued to ask.

"Yes, but I was injured at the time and was recovering."

"I told you, you only need to answer yes or no."

"Yes," Tang Hao said helplessly.

Tang Xiao continued to ask questions one after another.

"You haven't taken care of anyone from affiliated sects all these years, have you?"

"You've been so decadent and down on your luck all these years, your soul power hasn't improved at all, and you've never even thought about avenging the dead or preparing for the Haotian Sect's comeback, have you?"

Tang Hao had nothing to say about the rest, but he refused to admit to the last question.

"No, I have never forgotten the hatred for a moment, and I have always been preparing for revenge."

"Oh? Then tell me what preparations you made?"

As Tang Xiao questioned Tang Hao, his heart slowly grew cold. He hadn't thought about it carefully before, but he never imagined that Tang Hao had made so many mistakes and had irresponsibly hidden away, never thinking of giving any compensation to the people who died because of him.

Now that he heard Tang Hao say he was preparing for revenge, he decided to give Tang Hao a chance.

As long as there was even the slightest possibility that his plan was feasible, he would do anything to protect his younger brother.

But Tang Hao hesitated for a moment and then said:
“My son Tang San has amazing talent, far surpassing mine. As long as he has enough resources to be properly nurtured, he will definitely be able to stand at the top of Douluo Continent, and taking revenge on the Spirit Hall will not be a problem.”

Tang Xiao's expression gradually changed from anticipation to astonishment, and then quickly turned into disappointment.

The others couldn't believe what they were hearing. The mighty Haotian Douluo was pinning all his hopes for revenge on a child?
That's absolutely absurd.

The Seventh Elder gave a mocking smile.

"You truly deserve the title of Haotian. I imagine that the successive inheritors of the Haotian title in the Haotian Sect would be very gratified to know that you are such a person of integrity, right?"

"Seventh Elder, what do you mean by that?" Tang Hao glared at the Seventh Elder.

After realizing the gap between himself and the Spirit Hall, Tang Hao was indeed disheartened and felt that there was no hope of revenge in this life.

But Heaven gave him Tang San as his son, and although he got drunk every day, he still discovered Tang San's amazing abilities.

Despite having no one to teach him, Tang San has mastered many amazing skills.

He wasn't without other doubts, but for Tang Hao, revenge was the most important thing, and all other doubts could be put aside.

The Seventh Elder sneered, "I just find it absurd that you can't do it yourself, yet you're pinning all your hopes on a child."

"From what you're saying, it seems you're planning to take resources from the Haotian Sect to raise your son, right? You really have a good plan. Look at what you've done to the Haotian Sect, and you still have the nerve to come back and leech off them."

Tang Hao's old face was filled with shame and anger when the Seventh Elder saw through his thoughts.

"Enough. I, Tang Hao, do things that I don't need your opinions on, and you are not qualified to criticize me."

Caught between two worlds, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were both quite surprised by Tang Hao's character.

"This is Haotian Douluo? How could he be this kind of person?"

Ning Qiuyang sneered, "Don't assume that people with big names are good people. Tang Hao still has many unsavory aspects that he hasn't shown yet."

"Could Tang Hao do anything even more despicable than this?" Zhu Zhuyun asked.

Since following Ning Qiuyang, her idealized image of Title Douluo has been completely shattered.

Whether it was the two popes of the Spirit Hall or Tang Hao, they all possessed the strength of a powerful figure, but they lacked the demeanor of one.

Ning Qiuyang suddenly realized something and looked into the distance.

Several powerful streams of yin energy were approaching from a distance.

"There's an even bigger spectacle to be had."

The members of the Haotian Sect and the group of dead souls were both surprised and furious at Tang Hao's sudden outburst.

"Tang Hao, is this your attitude towards the sect and those who died because of you?"

"Tang Xiao, why aren't you ordering Tang Hao to be captured? What are you waiting for?" At this moment, a voice that was very familiar to Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and the elders came from afar.

"Xiao'er, Hao'er, what are you doing?"

A tall, elderly ghost rushed over menacingly.

"How dare you! Even if I die, you still dare to bully my son?"

This person was none other than Tang Wei, the previous sect leader of the Haotian Sect.

"Old Sect Master." The Haotian Sect disciples were extremely surprised. How could even the old sect master's ghost have appeared?

"Hmph." Tang Wei was very dissatisfied with these people. "You still haven't said why you forced my two sons to kill each other."

"Old Sect Master, you are unaware of something..."

The Grand Elder recounted everything that had happened after Tang Wei's death.

Tang Wei grew angrier and more frustrated as he listened.

"This is outrageous! You dare not wage a full-scale war against the Spirit Hall, so you slunk away from your original sect and hid in this remote corner?"

Before Tang Wei died, the Clear Sky Sect was still fiercely fighting against the Spirit Hall. He died early because his old injuries recurred and he was angered by Tang Hao's affairs.

He didn't expect these Haotian Sect disciples to be so spineless, not even daring to fight, and simply admitting defeat.

"Old Sect Master, it's not that we don't have the courage to go to war with the Spirit Hall, but that we really can't win. With your sudden passing and Sect Master Tang Xiao just taking over, the Clear Sky Sect is far inferior to the Spirit Hall in terms of both high-end combat power and the number of disciples."

Tang Wei fell silent after hearing this; his death had indeed been too sudden.

But in the hearts of the other elders, his death was timely. Otherwise, if Tang Wei had led everyone to fight the Spirit Hall to the bitter end, it's hard to say whether the Clear Sky Sect would still exist now.

Tang Wei frowned as he looked at Tang Hao.

Although he was quite angry about Tang Hao's actions, he still valued this son highly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let him inherit the title of Haotian instead of choosing the more stable Tang Xiao.

"Have you really been living a life of decadence and drinking all these years, without making any progress at all?"

Tang Hao could argue and make a scene with other people, but when facing his father Tang Wei, he felt ashamed, no matter how shameless he was.

"Your son is incompetent and has brought shame upon you, Father."

"It's never too late to turn back." Tang Wei was prepared to forgive.

Just as the two were about to put on a heartwarming father-son scene, other ghosts arrived.

"Enough, we heard it all. We never imagined that the Haotian Sect would fall to such a state after being handed over to you juniors."

Five ghosts arrived together, and one of them terrified Tang Wei.

"Grandfather, you've come too?"

The man grunted in agreement, then asked, "Where's Tang Chen? His talent is the highest among all the sect leaders. Why isn't he here?"

Tang Wei explained, "My father has been missing for many years. If he were still alive, how could the Spirit Hall dare to start a war with the Clear Sky Sect?"

Tang Wei wasn't wrong. If Tang Chen were here, the Spirit Hall wouldn't have started a war so easily.

"Putting all that aside, your name is Tang Hao, right? And you even inherited the title Haotian?" asked a former sect leader of the highest seniority.

Although Tang Hao didn't know who was speaking, he was certain it was one of his ancestors.

He immediately felt more confident; surely his ancestors would stand up for him?

"The younger generation is none other than Tang Hao."

"You dare to claim the title Haotian? Kneel down before me."

This person attacked Tang Hao directly, smashing the Haotian Hammer down towards Tang Hao's shoulder.

Ning Qiuyang, hidden in the shadows: "Alright, alright, let's do it this way, let Haozi feel the love of his elders."
