Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 257: Kicking the Ball, The Power of Letters
Chapter 257 - 257: Kicking the Ball, The Power of Letters
The Sea Maiden Douluo couldn't care less about Seahorse Douluo's complaints.
Since it was something her "big brother" said, then it had to be done!
The two of them didn't tell the other guardians and made their way directly to the address Dan Heng had given.
A courtyard located in the central area of Heaven Dou City.
"Knock knock knock...!"
The Sea Demoness knocked on the door.
Seahorse Douluo looked at her acting all serious and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Could it be that there's a Title Douluo in there? Someone who can help you vent your anger? Then that guy must have some pretty impressive connections."
The Sea Demoness glared at him and huffed, "Don't say nonsense! And don't you dare underestimate my brother!"
Seahorse Douluo shrugged, a bit frustrated.
He'd known the Sea Demoness for decades—watched her grow up, in fact. Though mentally, she was still like a little girl.
Yet in just a few days, she had completely fallen for this so-called "brother" of hers.
He was not happy about that at all!
Just as the two exchanged glances—
The door opened.
"Bang...!"
As soon as it opened, the door slammed shut again.
"???"
The Sea Demoness and Seahorse Douluo were both stunned.
The force of the door opening and closing sent a gust of wind that even ruffled their clothes.
The Sea Demoness blinked and looked at the door.
"Did someone... just open the door?"
Seahorse Douluo was just as confused. It happened so fast he hadn't even registered it.
"Maybe... possibly... probably... yeah, I think it did open?"
Neither of them was sure.
The Sea Demoness knocked again and asked softly, "Hello? Is anyone there?"
They both listened closely.
Silence.
Meanwhile, behind the door, a tall figure was leaning against it.
It was Poseidon, the Sea God, his face full of irritation.
The moment he opened the door, he had recognized the auras of the two people outside—his own followers.
But he had no interest in meeting them.
That would just be way too boring!
"Dan Heng! This has to be Dan Heng's doing! Setting me up like this?! And here I thought we were bros!"
Poseidon was gritting his teeth in anger, full of complaints.
This was a straight-up betrayal after he'd outlived his usefulness!
"Knock knock knock...!"
The door was knocked again.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?"
Poseidon rolled his eyes, then paused, and suddenly smirked wickedly.
"Yes, someone's here. Who are you?"
Outside the door, the Sea Demoness looked delighted and pressed herself to the door seam, saying, "I... I'm the Sea Demoness. I came specifically to find you!"
"What for?" Poseidon asked impatiently.
The Sea Demoness explained what had happened to her, and added, "Brother said that if we came to find you, you could help us get revenge!"
Seahorse Douluo narrowed his eyes, extending his senses to the maximum.
But still, he couldn't sense anyone behind that door.
"What?"
"You can't even handle a Title Douluo? Where's Bo Saixi? Didn't she step in for you?"
Poseidon's voice rose in irritation.
Regardless of the situation, these were his followers—if someone bullied them, he wouldn't stand for it!
The Sea Demoness hesitated for a moment, her tone low. "The High Priestess was injured... we didn't want to bother her..."
Seahorse Douluo's face turned odd as he stared at the door.
It was just now, when Poseidon's energy shifted ever so slightly, that he caught the tiniest flicker of something...
And that flicker gave him an almost unbelievable idea about who might be behind the door.
Who was that person...?
"I understand. So, you want to teach that Tang Hao guy a lesson, right?"
The Sea Demoness nodded vigorously. "Yes! That's right!"
"That's easy. Just tell Dan Heng what you want, and he'll help you make it happen. He might even let you defeat Tang Hao with your own hands."
Poseidon said calmly.
"Huh? Me? No way..." The Sea Demoness waved her hands nervously. Her strength wasn't even close to Seahorse Douluo's, how could she beat someone like Tang Hao?
"And besides... it was my brother who told me to come find you. Why are you sending me back to him again?"
She sounded a little wronged.
She didn't know the term "passing the buck," but this definitely felt like that, and she didn't like it.
"...Don't worry. Just go find Dan Heng again, and you'll be able to get your revenge, just like I said. I guarantee it. If it doesn't work, you can come back and find me."
Poseidon yawned. "Alright, now go on, don't block the door."
The Sea Demoness replied with an "oh" and looked toward Seahorse Douluo, hoping he'd say something.
But Seahorse Douluo stayed silent, staring at the red door, lost in thought.
With no other choice, the Sea Demoness left.
Full of questions.
They walked through two or three streets.
Seahorse Douluo still hadn't said a word, and the Sea Demoness finally sensed something was off.
She ran in front of him, stood on tiptoe, and stared into his face with her big eyes. "Hey! Seahorse! What's wrong with you? You look like you've lost your soul—did a sea monster snatch it?"
Seahorse Douluo nearly bumped into her. Snapping back to reality, he rolled his eyes.
"You little brat, always running your mouth."
The Sea Demoness muttered, "You're not my brother..."
Seahorse Douluo looked at her helplessly. Great—she's really siding with someone else now.
"Hey... did your brother say who that person behind the door was?"
he asked, while also glancing around and lowering his voice.
If it was really who he suspected... then the Sea Demoness might have accidentally stumbled into a huge opportunity!
The Sea Demoness looked puzzled. "Nope? Seahorse, you're being weird. Did Tang Hao hurt your pride or something? Don't worry, I'll get revenge for you!"
Seahorse Douluo rolled his eyes. "You really believe everything your 'brother' says? He's just a mortal—how could he possibly help you defeat Tang Hao? You've seen how strong that monster is."
"Forget it. You wouldn't get it even if I explained. I have to go tell the High Priestess."
Seahorse Douluo quickened his pace, leaving the Sea Demoness behind.
"What's going on?!" she chased after him, yelling.
She was really confused—what had happened just now?
Seahorse Douluo walked briskly ahead and muttered, "Kids shouldn't ask too many questions. But you... might really end up doing something great!"
The Sea Demoness grew even more curious—she still hadn't figured anything out!
Elsewhere, Tai Long had received the letter Dan Heng had written to Tang Yuehua and returned first to the Power Clan estate.
The other three heads of the single-attribute clans were already there, in the middle of a grim discussion.
Everyone looked anxious.
Tang Hao's threat was like a blade hanging over their heads.
The Clear Sky Sect might not publicly turn hostile—but that didn't mean Tang Hao wouldn't.
That man was the type to go all in, regardless of the cost.
"Dad! Grandpa! I've got a way to make sure we don't have to fear Tang Hao anymore!"
Tai Long waved the letter, eyes shining with excitement.
Everyone turned to him at once, ending their conversation.
Tai Nuo's face darkened immediately. He rolled up his sleeves and walked toward him.
"You little bastard, are you trying to stir up trouble here? This isn't your playground!"
Tai Tan raised his hand. "Hold it, Tai Nuo. Let's hear what Tai Long has to say."
Tai Long smirked at Tai Nuo, full of confidence, and said, "Dad, just because you're useless doesn't mean I am. Watch and learn!"
Tai Nuo's face went completely black, and the look he gave Tai Long was murderous.
Everyone was now curious.
Even the purple-haired, twin-tailed girl beside White Crane, the head of the agility clan, looked intrigued.
Tai Long raised the letter in his hand and said:
"See this? This letter—if I deliver it to Tang Yuehua of Moon Pavilion and explain the situation, then Tang Hao won't be a problem anymore!"
Tai Long looked smug, practically taunting Tai Nuo with his eyes, like he was saying "You've still got a lot to learn."
"Bullshit! A letter? Who wrote it, the Jade Emperor? If I don't beat the crap out of you today, you'll never understand how I earned the name 'Power King'!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Tai Nuo shouted, ready to strike.
But Tai Tan interrupted, "Let the boy try. It won't hurt. We were considering it too—just hesitant about Clear Sky Sect's position..."
Tai Long quickly backed toward the door. "I'll go now! Just wait and see! Grandpa, please keep your son in check—he's totally out of line!"
With that, he ran out.
"YOU LITTLE—!!"
Tai Nuo exploded with rage, throwing his shoe after him.
At that moment, the twin-tailed girl behind White Crane opened her wings and shot out like a streak of light.
Moon Pavilion.
Tai Long ran there in one breath, but was stopped by two guards.
They said he wasn't dressed properly and wouldn't let him in.
"What's your problem?! I'm here to deliver a letter to Tang Yuehua!" Tai Long snapped.
The two guards exchanged glances and sneered.
"You, a bumpkin, think you can deliver a letter to Lady Tang? Her fan mail could fill the royal palace! Why should your letter be delivered?"
Tai Long's face turned red with anger. He clenched his fists, considering whether to teach them a lesson.
Just then, a breeze blew by.
A figure appeared at his side.
"Brother Tai Long, if they won't let you in, then just call for Lady Tang directly!"
The twin-tailed girl from the agility clan snorted coldly, clearly annoyed with the guards.
"You're right! Xiangxiang, you're the smart one!" Tai Long slapped his forehead.
The guards panicked. "Don't you dare—!"
"TANG YUEHUA!!!"
"I'VE GOT A LETTER FOR YOU!!!"
"IT'S A LETTER YOU'LL DEFINITELY WANT TO READ!!!"
Tai Long's booming voice echoed through the entire street like thunder.
The two guards immediately released their martial spirits, faces dark with anger.
"You looking to die?!"
"Bring it on!" Tai Long growled, summoning his own martial spirit—he was Soul Elder level, just like them.
Bai Chenxiang summoned hers too.
"Stop!"
At that moment, a soft reprimanding voice rang out.
Everyone stopped at the sound.
Their gazes involuntarily turned toward the doorway.
A noblewoman of exceptional grace and elegance stepped out—it was none other than Tang Yuehua.
She looked at Tai Long and Bai Chenxiang, slightly startled.
"You two..."
Tai Long pushed aside the two guards and handed Dan Heng's letter to Tang Yuehua.
"This letter is for you. Also, the person who gave me the letter told me to directly inform you about the situation of our Strength Clan... no, I mean the four single-attribute clans. Don't let that Tang Hao bother us anymore!"
Tai Long spoke bluntly, filled with resentment toward Tang Hao.
Bai Chenxiang suddenly stepped forward and pinched Tai Long's waist hard, whispering, "Brother Tai Long! Don't talk nonsense... she... she's the sect master Tang Xiao's younger sister! That's Lady Yuehua!"
Tai Long's expression changed instantly, and he suddenly looked embarrassed.
Seeing Tang Yuehua's face darken slightly, he became a little worried that he had messed things up.
Tang Yuehua finished reading the letter, sighed, and furrowed her brows.
"Alright, I understand your situation. Don't worry, I'll give you a proper explanation. The four single-attribute clans have complete autonomy—this is a promise the Clear Sky Sect made to you."
"Of course, if you're willing to return, we'll also compensate you and offer our apologies."
Tang Yuehua nodded sincerely.
Tai Long curled his lips. "Who wants that? You think we're so easy to fool?"
Bai Chenxiang had been somewhat tempted, but hearing Tai Long's words brought her back to her senses.
"Lady Yuehua, we'll be heading back now."
Tang Yuehua smiled faintly. "Alright."
Tai Long and Bai Chenxiang left together.
Once they were farther away—
Walking down the bustling street, Bai Chenxiang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Tai Long, whose letter was that? Why would Lady Yuehua agree to our request just by reading it?"
Tai Long beamed and lifted his chin proudly. "Top secret!"
"..."
The corner of Bai Chenxiang's mouth twitched.
This guy really needs a beating!
Tai Long started humming a tune. "Sister Chenxiang, come on! I'm taking you to a feast!"
Bai Chenxiang, walking behind, swallowed a little at the sound of that.
Among the four single-attribute clans, the Agility Clan had it the worst.
She hadn't eaten at a proper restaurant in almost a year!
"When I get the chance, I will find out what's going on. I'm not doing this just for the food!"
Bai Chenxiang licked her pink lips and thought secretly.
...
In Shrek's courtyard.
Inside Tang San's room.
Tang Hao was there, waiting for Tang San.
As soon as Tang San opened the door and saw Tang Hao, his face lit up with joy. "Father!"
On Tang Hao's weathered face, a smile broke out as he nodded.
"San, this time I came to tell you about our family's past... and our future plans."
Tang San immediately turned serious upon hearing that. He sat across from Tang Hao and listened carefully.
As he learned that he was part of the Clear Sky Sect, and that his mother had been persecuted by the Spirit Hall, tears streamed down Tang San's face.
Tang Hao rubbed Tang San's head and said with a smile:
"It's all in the past now, San. Now, I'm going to recruit Dan Heng, and also bring the four single-attribute clans back. With those two merits, I'll push for us to rejoin the Clear Sky Sect."
"Will they agree to that?" Tang San asked worriedly.
From an outsider's perspective, the only way the four single-attribute clans would return is if they were out of their minds.
Tang Hao let out a cold laugh, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"It's either death... or return!"
Tang San looked at Tang Hao with admiration.
Tang Hao continued, "By the way, how are things going between you and that girl named Zhu Zhuqing?"
Tang San scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. "We haven't even talked... she's pretty cold."
"No worries. I'll talk to Dan Heng directly. He'll definitely agree."
Tang Hao said casually.
