Chapter 460 News from Seagod Island
The next morning, Tang San told everyone what he had learned the night before.
Inside the lounge, several people stood, sat, or leaned against something, their postures relaxed, but their faces all showed signs of deep thought.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door.
Everyone looked towards the door, and Blue Silver Grass, who was guarding the door, immediately opened it.
The visitor placed the letter on the blue silver grass and left without lingering.
Blue Silver Grass rolled up a letter and handed it to Tang San.
Upon opening it, I found a letter from Purple Pearl.
After quickly reading the contents of the letter, he handed it over. "The people from the Elders' Hall have really left. We can try to work around the time difference."
A silence fell over the crowd.
The time difference can be mitigated, but none of the Elders know how long they will stay here, and the timing of the Sea God's test is also unpredictable, so the probability of making a wasted trip is still too high.
"Then let's split into two groups," Tang Qi suggested, leaning on the table. "How can we not check out the places the Elders' Hall people deliberately took a detour to?"
Just as everyone was discussing, the door opened silently.
The group immediately stood up and looked respectfully at the newcomer, saying, "Your Majesty."
"teacher."
"Have a seat." Bibi Dong casually sat down in a spot. "I've already sent people to guard Seagod Island."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone. "As for the Elders' Hall, find a way to cause some trouble."
After waiting for a while, everyone got up to say goodbye, and in the blink of an eye, only Tang San and his sister were left in the room.
"Mistress, what are your thoughts on Seagod Island?"
Tang San shook his head slightly, "I can't interfere with the Divine Trial, but I can slow down her progress."
All of this is based on the content of the divine test; if it's too easy, there's no way to delay it.
"Then let's stall." Bibi Dong lowered her eyes, her emotions remaining completely hidden.
Since it's not convenient to take direct action, let's take advantage of this opportunity to gradually erode the Elders' Hall.
She wanted to see if Qian Daoliu's reach could extend that far.
The two instantly understood what Bibi Dong meant.
This is indeed a good idea; it all depends on what Qian Daoliu chooses.
But if we try to force him to make a choice, Tang Chen might be a good option.
The two looked at each other, and the same figure came to mind.
Bibi Dong nodded, knowing that the two understood her meaning.
With Tang Chen around, there's no need to worry about Qian Daoliu being distracted.
Once she's scattered, she'll have a way to move.
After discussing some details and inquiring about the two men's cultivation progress, Bibi Dong left. Before leaving, she gave Tang San a meaningful look.
After Bibi Dong walked away, Tang Qi curled up in the chair and said, "If Tang Chen makes a move, even if it's just to restrain or create a diversion, it's hard to guarantee that Qian Daoliu won't come after Haotian Sect."
What's more, they had previously caused trouble using the Haotian Sect as a pretext.
Tang San looked out the window. "Most of the elders of the Haotian Sect are determined to live in seclusion. I will remind them when the time comes."
As for how they make their decisions, that's beyond his control.
Upon hearing Tang San's arrangement, Tang Qi stopped talking about it.
After sitting for a while, the brother and sister each left.
Upon receiving Bibi Dong's instructions, everyone immediately got to work.
Midway through, the group gathered again and, after some discussion, decided to split up and carry out their respective actions separately, trying not to attract the attention of the Elders' Hall.
After a long day's work, people returned to their rooms under the cover of night, taking one last look at the faint golden light above the Elder Hall before drifting off to sleep.
The following day, Tang Qi brought Xiangxiang to the Spirit Hall Academy to check on the use of the training grounds again.
It was only just getting light, but there were already quite a few people at the college.
They walked in twos and threes, just like they used to.
"Meow?" Why isn't Qiqi moving?
Tang Qi shook her head. "Let's go. Let's finish the check-up as soon as possible so as not to delay the test."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and arrived at the training ground.
"Teacher Wang?!" Tang Qi stood at the door, her eyes filled with surprise.
Wang Shi grunted without turning his head, "Let's check the usage."
As Tang Qi walked, she glanced at Wang Shi with a suspicious look. "Teacher Wang, you haven't come up with any other training methods than this, have you?"
Meeting Wang Shi's gaze, Tang Qi swallowed back the terrible idea that was on the tip of her tongue.
Wang Shi chuckled, "I just came to see how the willow branches would work together properly. Why would I mess with the mechanisms?"
Anything that needs to be added can only be done by external force.
Tang Qi guessed his thoughts in an instant, and then immediately pretended not to know.
After quickly inspecting the training ground using the Gem Orchid, Tang Qi carried Xiangxiang and left without stopping.
She should leave quickly, lest those kids see her and look at her with those eyes again; she still felt a little uneasy about it.
Once outside the academy grounds, Tang Qi let out a soft breath and felt sympathy for the children who had received training that day.
When she opened the door to the lounge, she found everyone already there.
Tang Qi: ? ? ?
Nobody told her she was coming here.
If she hadn't suddenly decided to come and sit for a while, we would have missed it.
Sensing Tang Qi's resentful gaze, Tang San poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, saying, "I sent someone to call you. I didn't expect you to be so quick with the checkup."
At this point, Tang Qi recounted what had just happened.
The group exchanged glances and changed the subject.
After all, I had suffered before. The reason I could have an easier time was because of the limited circumstances at the time, but it wasn't much better.
"I received a letter from Bing Linghai early this morning. Qian Daoliu is currently mainly dealing with internal issues and carrying out their underhanded tactics." Tang San leaned back in his chair, casually twirling the pen in his hand.
Tang Qi's eyes showed worry and disapproval. "Then why is he sending us messages at this time?"
Tang San lightly tapped her forehead. "Listen to the end."
"Secretly, they are gathering manpower at various strongholds, and have already sent additional people to Poseidon Island."
"Purple Pearl has also sent a letter. Three unknown ships have recently appeared on the sea, possibly the people left behind by Qian Daoliu."
"It seems the place the Elders went out of their way to visit is very important to them," Hu Liena chuckled, looking at the points marked on the map. "Looks like we're luckier after all."
Tang Qi nodded.
If someone hadn't accidentally discovered it, they wouldn't have been able to find that hidden corner.
Xie Yue leaned back and crossed his legs. "Shall we change the people over here?"
Yan stretched his limbs. "How about I go along and take a look?"
He felt rusty all over from staying there.
Tang San thought for a moment and agreed, but he knew he couldn't do it alone.
"I'll go with Yan," Hu Liena suggested.
Tang San nodded in agreement, "Let's also invite Uncle Gui or other Douluo." "Too many people have left, so the Elder Hall is over there." Tang Qi frowned, but it wasn't that she didn't agree with sending more people.
After all, two elders from the Elder Hall went there, and the number of people originally guarding the area was even more unknown, so it would be safer to have more people.
Zhang Ping also looked at the blueprints and said, "If you noticed it, you noticed it. We'll take the same detour as him and go around Poseidon Island."
Taking this route would also allow them to personally check out the situation on Poseidon Island, and besides, that location is by the sea, making it easier for them to hide their tracks.
At this moment, Tang San also spoke up, "We should also go into seclusion and cultivate properly for a while."
After returning, I was mostly busy with other things, and I neglected my cultivation.
"Let's start from the courtyard where we train, and then we'll train hard for a while, hoping to break through again."
Tang Qi twirled her fingers around her hair. "If we go to sea, Qian Daoliu's ship will probably be stationed near Seagod Island. Brother, we'll have to rely on your help."
Otherwise, it would take some effort to shake off that group of people.
Xie Yue didn't join the conversation, but instead moved closer to Hu Liena, saying, "This time it's mainly for reconnaissance. Keep an eye on Yan and don't let him rush around recklessly."
Upon hearing this, Yan sat up straight, unconvinced. "Xie, Brother Yue, that was all when we were kids. I haven't done anything reckless since then."
Xie Yue's lips curled into a smile, looking at him with a half-smile, her left eye saying no, her right eye saying yes, "You'd better do that."
Before Yan could speak, Hu Liena said, "We will try to gather as much information as possible and then come back as soon as possible."
Noticing that the two had finished their conversation, Tang San inquired about the progress of the tasks at hand.
After understanding the situation, Tang San stood up and told everyone to pack up so that training would begin soon.
In the afternoon, the group gathered at their designated area.
After Hu Liena and Yan disappeared into the passage, the group began their sparring.
Tang Qi stood behind Xie Yue and Zhang Ping, looking at Tang San and Jiang Qianjing across the gap between them.
As previously agreed, she began by using her soul skill, and she did so without the slightest hesitation.
Tang San and Jiang Qianjing were already prepared and attacked simultaneously the moment Tang Qi used her soul skill.
The roc moved swiftly through the air, adjusting its attack position.
Tang San flung the Blue Silver Grass forcefully toward the three of them, while the Clear Sky Hammer in his other hand was also ready to strike.
Seeing this, a blooming flower appeared beneath Tang Qi's feet, carrying her quickly away from the ground.
But she didn't forget the roc circling overhead. After leaving the ground for a distance, she decisively changed direction and at the same time flung out the vines that suddenly appeared in her hand.
The roc quickly dodged to the side, its wings suddenly flapping forcefully, creating a gust of wind that stirred up dust and fallen leaves, almost blinding the people.
Tang Qi used the Gem Orchid as a shield in front of her and quickly dodged behind Xie Yue.
Zhang Ping leaped into the air, intervening between the roc and Tang Qi, interrupting its pursuit.
Taking advantage of the moment when there was some free time, the white mist quickly spread throughout the area, erasing the presence of the three people.
A glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as he twirled the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
"Tsk!"
With the Peng bird's vision obstructed, Jiang Qianjing called it back to his side and brought Tang San to mid-air.
Upon noticing the two leaving, Tang Qi immediately informed Xie Yue and Zhang Ping.
Then, the white mist began to spread upwards.
Immediately afterwards, the moon blade sliced through the white mist and rushed straight at Tang San.
However, everyone had undergone extensive training and possessed highly acute combat instincts. They swung their Haotian Hammers backhand and accurately blocked Xie Yue's attack.
For a time, the sounds of soul skills colliding with flesh rose and fell incessantly, without ever stopping.
They played like that until dinner time, and neither side had won.
Tang Qi plopped down on the ground, "I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore."
They know each other too well; unless they really go all out, it won't be easy to determine a winner.
Tang Qi stared blankly at the sky.
Jiang Qianjing came over and pulled the person up, "Don't sit on the ground, go sit over there, the food delivery will be here soon."
The five people didn't sit down immediately. Instead, they went back to their rooms to wash up before sitting around the round table. Just then, the food delivery arrived.
Blue Silver Grass naturally opened the courtyard gate and brought back their food.
Xie Yue ate while keeping a close eye on Tang San.
Tang San felt uneasy under his gaze and gave him a speechless look. "Speak your mind."
“Let’s give it a try tomorrow,” Xie Yue said after taking a bite of rice. “We can’t use your weird and wonderful abilities.”
He just wanted to practice, not to be tortured.
Especially that rutilated quartz.
Oh, I remember now, it's called Dragon Beard Needle.
Being stabbed into the flesh is incredibly painful yet doesn't kill you; it's pure torture.
Tang San nodded in agreement.
Since it's all for cultivation, any form is fine.
Zhang Ping then looked at Jiang Qianjing, "Could I borrow your Peng bird?"
Jiang Qianjing nodded in agreement.
This is clearly for training one's speed, and the Peng bird is the perfect choice.
Seeing that both sides had arrangements, Tang Qi looked left and right. Did that mean she would have to train alone?
Noticing Tang Qi's actions, Tang San thought for a moment and then came up with an idea. "Go find Teacher Wang and the others. They won't be using the training ground tomorrow. While you're at it, make some changes to these places."
As he spoke, he took out the blueprints from his soul tool and pointed to the specially marked location.
"We should get more news from Poseidon Island in the next couple of days. Once we get the news, we'll come back as soon as possible."
Tang Qi pulled the blueprints in front of her, nodding in agreement as she looked at them.
"We should have covered most of the news about Poseidon Island by now, right? Is there anything else?" Tang Qi asked curiously.
Tang San paused for a moment. "You forgot, you were the one who brought up the matter of the Clear Sky Sect first."
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi looked up blankly, her tone uncertain, "Brother, you... you told Tang Chen directly?"
Tang San nodded in agreement.
"What if Tang Chen really doesn't care about the Haotian Sect?" Wouldn't their efforts in passing on the message have been for nothing? The Haotian Sect might actually be targeted because of those events, and then...
"No." Tang San's tone remained calm. "Not interfering is one thing, but giving a reminder is no problem."
Tang Qi was about to ask why he didn't just send the message directly, but she shut her mouth the next moment, guessing that he didn't want to have any more involvement with the Haotian Sect.
"Moreover, those elders who are determined to live in seclusion may leave with their people after the first time," Tang San said casually.
Even if some people objected, in the end no one could go against those elders.
The Haotian Sect's withdrawal is certain.
Having learned the details, Tang Qi didn't continue the topic.
Anyway, whatever the news, her brother will let her know what she needs to know, and he must have his reasons for not letting her know.
Tang Qi suddenly remembered the eye contact between her teacher and her brother last time.
She closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind. "I'll go check out the training field later. Those kids should be training today."
Teacher Wang went to the training ground specifically for this; it's not bad for her to stay there. At most, she can help look after the kids—it's that simple.
