227: Chapter 227 Let's give it a try

Emperor Xue Ye was in a terrible mood today. The beast tide in the Far North had been resolved, but the credit did not belong to his Heaven Dou Empire; the commoners only remembered Spirit Hall.

The border troops in the northern regions of the Heaven Dou Empire even had to cooperate with Spirit Hall's management.

It was equivalent to handing over full command of the border army to Spirit Hall.

"Imperial Father, this was a desperate measure. At that time, only Spirit Hall could suppress the Spirit Beasts of the Far North!"

Xue Qinghe knew Emperor Xue Ye would be displeased, but there was likewise no better way; this was currently the best option.

Marshal Ge Long also spoke up at the right moment: "Your Majesty, the only plan for now is to temporarily cooperate with Spirit Hall. Only Spirit Hall can deal with the super Douluo of the Far North."

Emperor Xue Ye sighed. When would the Heaven Dou Empire ever have its own Titled Douluo powerhouse?

"Your Majesty, the Clear Sky Douluo has arrived!"

At that moment, a guard rushed in. Upon hearing 'Clear Sky Douluo', everyone present was stunned for a moment.

The Clear Sky Douluo was the youngest Titled Douluo on the surface of the Douluo Continent, and one of the twin star geniuses of the Clear Sky Sect.

However, after being wanted by Spirit Hall several years ago, his traces had completely vanished from the continent.

Now that he had appeared here, Emperor Xue Ye felt that the visitor did not come with good intentions.

"Summon him!"

The moment Tang Hao stepped into the great hall, everyone's expression turned somewhat bewildered.

Tang Hao was dressed in a wide cloak, unkempt and with a weathered face, looking like a scavenger from the roadside.

Xue Qinghe subconsciously clenched his fists. This was the Clear Sky Douluo who had killed his father.

It was her first time seeing his true appearance.

She hadn't expected him to look so pathetic.

"Tang Hao, for what matter have you come to my Heaven Dou Imperial Palace?"

"I wish to ask Your Majesty for an item. As long as Your Majesty agrees, I, Tang Hao, am willing to grant Your Majesty three conditions."

Tang Hao was very direct. The people around looked at each other, filled with doubt.

What item could be worth a promise from the dignified Clear Sky Douluo?

"Oh? Tell me, what do you want?"

Emperor Xue Ye was somewhat tempted.

Although Tang Hao was wanted by Spirit Hall, he was still a Titled Douluo after all.

There were too many things a Titled Douluo could do.

His three promises could absolutely be used at the most critical moment.

"I want the Heaven Dou Empire's Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence, everyone's eyes turning strange.

Could it be that Tang Hao didn't know the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had long since been given away?

Emperor Xue Ye's face turned ugly, and in his heart, he cried out—

Pain!

Too much pain!

With so many people demanding the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, it was clear its value was definitely not inferior to a Spirit Bone.

He regretted it!

If he had known earlier, he should have studied it properly, or kept it instead of giving it away so easily!

Emperor Xue Ye suppressed the emotions in his heart and spoke with a somewhat stiff tone: "Tang Hao, do you not know that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud has already been given away?"

Tang Hao was a bit stunned; he really didn't know.

He had been in Nuoding City, turning a deaf ear to outside affairs.

Hearing Xue Qinghe step forward to voluntarily explain the cause and effect, Tang Hao's heart also gave a sudden leap.

Spirit Hall and a super Douluo both came to snatch the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!

That super Douluo might be the one from Sea God Island!

"Your Excellency Clear Sky, Spirit Hall took the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and a super Douluo stepped in to demand it. Although we don't know the specific details at the time, under normal circumstances, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud should be in the hands of that super Douluo."

Everyone agreed with Xue Qinghe's words. If a super Douluo acted and still didn't get it, that would be too embarrassing; at that time, there was no super Douluo guarding the Saint's side.

Tang Hao's thoughts were complex. If it really was in the hands of a super Douluo, he wouldn't be able to get it unless his grandfather returned to personally demand it from them.

The Sea God's Legacy item... Little San, Little San, if you had only spoken up sooner, why would there be such an interlude!

"Although we cannot produce the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, as long as it is something the Heaven Dou Empire can provide, Your Excellency Clear Sky, please feel free to ask."

Receiving a hint from Emperor Xue Ye, Xue Qinghe proactively stepped forward.

"Farewell!"

Tang Hao didn't waste words and turned to leave. His eyes were only on the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud; now he had to return as soon as possible to discuss this with Tang San.

Seeing Tang Hao being so impolite, Emperor Xue Ye's face looked grim.

But in the end, he chose silence, allowing the other party to leave.

In a hotel in Heaven Dou City.

Tang San paced back and forth in the room. He didn't know why, but as soon as Tang Hao left, his eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably, as if foreboding something bad.

"Little San, Little San."

Tang Hao rushed back into the room. Tang San greeted him with a pleasant surprise: "Dad, why so fast? Did you already get the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"

According to Tang San's thoughts, with Tang Hao personally asking, Emperor Xue Ye would surely give some face. Although the other was a high and mighty emperor, in the eyes of these Titled Douluo, he was no different from an ordinary person. Moreover, befriending the Clear Sky Sect only brought benefits to the Heaven Dou Empire, not harm.

"Sigh, it's a long story. It goes like this..."

Tang Hao gave a sigh and recounted everything he knew.

Hearing that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had already been obtained by someone else, Tang San was like a petrified statue, frozen in place.

"Little San, whether the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is in Spirit Hall's hands or that super Douluo's, I will definitely get it back for you."

Tang Hao gave Tang San a heavy pat on the shoulder. This concerned a Divinity.

Perhaps he should find an opportunity to return to the Clear Sky Sect.

He believed that once they heard about something belonging to a god, they would surely do their utmost to help Tang San become a god.

"It's okay, it's okay... there's still the Asura Legacy!"

"That is a God King!"

Tang San comforted himself, but his hands were tightly clenched together.

The Sunset Forest had traces of Spirit Hall, and now the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud also involved their movements. Even Bo Saixi was drawn in. Logically speaking, Bo Saixi would not leave Sea God Island.

Tang San thought of a possibility—perhaps he wasn't the only one who had experienced Rebirth.

Someone, like himself, knew the development of the Douluo Continent in advance.

If so, Tang San understood that he had to be cautious about everything that followed.

...

In Spirit Hall, the corpses of several Spirit Beasts were carried into the hall by Hall Guard Knights.

Among them were a Radiant Butterfly, a Blazing Lion, a Pink Lady...

"Your Holiness, these are Spirit Beasts whose spirit rings were just absorbed by Spirit Hall members. The corpses are well-preserved, and no one has touched them yet."

"Withdraw. Without my command, no one is allowed to enter!"

Bibi Dong dismissed everyone, then looked at Hu Liena and the others.

"Teacher, I am Senior Brother's Junior Sister. I can know Senior Brother's secrets, and besides, I already know a lot..."

Seeing that Bibi Dong seemed like she was about to send her away, Hu Liena immediately grew anxious.

Tian Yue, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling all nodded along.

"I didn't say anything!"

Bibi Dong glared at Hu Liena, then looked at Su Wen and said softly:

"Give it a try. See if you can continue to form Contracts!"

"Teacher, like them, wants to know the limits of your First Soul Skill..."
