Douluo Continent: I was exposed by the Heavenly Ranking after creating the Holy Court.

Chapter 36 He is the Lord of the Holy Court! Yu Xiaogang desires to defeat Heaven by half a move!

Inside the Holy Court,
Jiang Che was sitting in a rocking chair, staring blankly at the Heavenly Ranking, and he had a lazy air about him.

After returning, he hadn't slept for long when he was jolted awake by the sound of the announcement.

Before he could react, he asked, "Haotian Sect has been erased from the Heavenly Ranking? What happened?"

As Jiang Che finished speaking,

A figure appeared beside him. The man was handsome, looked to be in his early thirties, tall and slender, dressed in white, and had a gentle and refined demeanor.

The young man cupped his hands in a respectful bow to Jiang Che, saying, "Holy Lord."

Jiang Che tilted his head slightly, gave a soft reply, and asked, "Dean, what's going on?"

The man's name was Dean, his martial soul was the Dark Mantis, and he was a level 99 Limit Douluo!
He was given the title of Holy King! He was also one of the two Holy Protectors of the Holy Court.

Jiang Che was not at the Holy Court some time ago, and it is unknown what happened.

Dean then recounted the entire story of the Haotian Sect's visit to the mountain.

Gaia fought against the entire power of the Haotian Sect alone, Cassius was suppressed by Tang Hao, and then Miris stepped in and killed Tang Hao.

After listening, Jiang Che stretched and said calmly, "So that's how it is. Now that we've destroyed the Haotian Sect, it's time for them to show their faces."

After saying that, Jiang Che got up and slowly walked towards the door.

After this incident, even more forces will come.

Seeing them all blocking the entrance to the mountain gate, Jiang Che also felt somewhat disgusted.

It would be better to take this opportunity to accept a few disciples, then send them away and continue to live in seclusion.

…………

Outside the Holy Court,
The murmurs gradually subsided as everyone watched Gaia extract all the soul bones from Tang Hao's body.

As the successor of the Haotian Sect,
The soul bones within Tang Hao's body are all heirlooms passed down through the sect for thousands of years!
Its value and quality are incomparable to those ordinary soul bones, so it is natural to bring it back to the Holy Court for safekeeping.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered, and just as he was about to step forward to ask when the Holy Lord would return, his gaze caught sight of a figure walking out of the mountain gate, which was none other than Jiang Che.

Xue Qinghe, Gu Rong, and the others beside him also noticed and turned their gazes toward it.

"Ok?"

"Why can't I sense any fluctuations in his soul power?" Yu Yuanzhen frowned slightly, puzzled.

Title Douluo have extremely precise control over soul power. Even those with high cultivation can detect soul power fluctuations to some extent, but he could not detect Jiang Che's soul power.

Ancient Banyan Tree, Moon Gate, and Ghostly Spirit also had some doubts.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Che slowly walked to Miris and Cassius's side and asked, "How are your injuries? Are you alright?"

The Clear Sky Sect possesses astonishing combat power, especially Tang Hao.
Although their character is questionable, their strength is indeed among the top in the continent. Jiang Che is still worried that these kids might have some hidden injuries.

The three of them were startled upon hearing the familiar voice.
They turned around and, seeing it was Jiang Che, quickly bowed and said in unison, "Holy Lord, we are unharmed."

Suddenly, everyone's expression froze, their eyes fixed on Jiang Che, and a half-sound of breath escaped their throats.

Everyone present heard Miris and the other two address Jiang Che as "Holy Lord"!
He's the Holy Lord who single-handedly founded the Holy Court and nurtured countless powerful individuals?! That Jiang Che!!
He looks so young, how could this boy possibly be the Holy Lord?

Despite their doubts, the actions of Miris and the other two were undeniable, and they were indeed referring to the Holy Lord.

"..."

Gaia took out the soul bone from Tang Hao's body and said to Jiang Che, "Holy Lord, this is the soul bone taken out from Tang Hao's body. Please take a look."

Jiang Che glanced at the few soul bones, nodded slightly, and said calmly, "The quality is acceptable, but they are not yet 100,000 years old. Let's keep them in the treasure vault."

“A soul bone less than 100,000 years old is not qualified to be absorbed by the powerhouses of my Holy Court.”

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent. Countless eyes were filled with utter shock and disbelief, as if the whole world had collapsed at that moment.

Even a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is a priceless treasure on the continent, rarely obtained by anyone. Yet, within this Holy Court, soul bones less than one hundred thousand years old are not worthy of being absorbed.

Shock and confusion welled up in everyone's eyes.
a long time--

the other side,
Inside Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang and Flander looked up at the sky, equally shocked. The latter exclaimed incredulously, "Tang Hao was killed? How is that possible!?"

"That's the Haotian Douluo Continent! How many people in this world can harm him?!"

His legs went weak, and he slumped into the chair, speechless with surprise.

Yu Xiaogang originally intended to use the reputation of nurturing Tang San to solidify his status as a master and return to his family.

The reason he accepted Tang San as his disciple was because he valued Tang San's talent, the Haotian Douluo behind him, and the Haotian Sect.

With Tang Hao around, he could focus on training Tang San.

But now, only a few years later, Tang San has just advanced to Soul Master, and Tang Hao is gone!?
Without Tang Hao, Shrek Academy is tantamount to being isolated and helpless.

Tang San's identity is an even bigger bombshell.

If discovered by the Spirit Hall and the Holy Court, he might even lose his life.

Flander was also worried about this; he didn't want to risk everything because of Tang San.

Thinking of this, Flander quickly said:
"Xiaogang, you need to break off your relationship with that mistress right now!"

"I'll refund him double my tuition fee and send him far away so we can both survive!"

Hearing this,

Yu Xiaogang frowned, his gaze serious.

Flander's suggestion was indeed a solution; only by sending Tang San away could they survive.

But how can I prove myself to the world if I do that?
Should I return to Notting Academy and wait for the next destined person? Or should I go to the Spirit Hall to find that woman Bibi Dong and be gossiped about?
After a while,
Yu Xiaogang seemed to have made up his mind. He shook his head slightly, his eyes resolute, and said, "No, for the sake of Xiao San and our safety, he cannot leave!"

In his view, the only true geniuses today are Tang San and a few others; otherwise, the Holy Lord wouldn't have secluded himself from the world, but would continue to take on disciples.

At this moment, in front of the Holy Court,
There must be quite a few people who want to become Jiang Che's disciples.

If only I could gamble with that Holy Lord...
Let Jiang Che take on someone the same age as Tang San as his disciple and have a competition.
Tang San will definitely win, after all, apart from Bibi Dong, Tang San is the only person on the entire continent with twin martial souls!

By then,
He could then prove his worth to the world, gain the Emperor's favor, and live a life of ease.

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's idea, Flander's hesitation deepened, and he said, "While your method has some merit, the risks are simply too great."

"If we hadn't sent Tang San away, with my and Old Zhao's Soul Saint cultivation, we could have made sure you lived a good life."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said firmly:

"No. There are few times in life when we can control our own destiny. I have to consider whether this might be the only chance I have in my life."

"Life is like a game of chess. Even if the Holy Court is the heavens, I will still enter the game myself and win by half a move against the heavens!"

While the two were talking,
Tang San happened to walk over with the herbs he had bought.
He said to Yu Xiaogang and the other person, "Teacher, the herbs have been purchased, and we can continue training."

Seeing them staring at him with solemn expressions,

Tang San felt a little uneasy: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San deeply and said sorrowfully, "Xiao San, your father is dead..."
