Chapter 154 The Four Great Families with Single Attributes
"Hiring?"
"Isn't that simple?"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Su's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest: "Little Food God, my brother and I have quite a few subordinates on the Sun Moon Continent. They all follow me to manage the vegetable garden and the soul tool workshop. They are quick and efficient, and of good character."
"And they're all Soul Masters, so they'll definitely be a good match!"
"Why don't we go over there now, and then use your Blue Silver Soul-Trapping Technique, Little Food God, to send them over?"
"Inappropriate."
Tang Hao suddenly spoke up, interrupting Su Pang's suggestion: "People from the Sun Moon Continent are newcomers and unfamiliar with the environment of the Douluo Continent, which could easily lead to unnecessary trouble."
Tang Chuan was taken aback: "Dad, what do you mean?"
"Well!"
Tang Hao was silent for a moment, then sighed, slowly put down the wine gourd in his hand, and his gaze became distant: "Xiao Chuan, do you know... the four major single-attribute families?"
"The four major families with a single attribute?"
Tang Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked a little puzzled: "I think I heard a teacher mention it at Notting Academy."
"It is said that the four major single-attribute families are the Strength Clan, the Defense Clan, the Agility Clan, and the Destruction Clan."
"The Power Clan makes a living by blacksmithing, and their family's Spirit is the Mighty Ape."
"The Spirit of the Yu clan is the plate-armored rhinoceros, whose defense is unparalleled in the world... I don't know about the other two clans."
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao sighed heavily again, his eyes filled with guilt.
"Well!"
"It's Dad who's sorry to them..."
Tang Hao's voice was hoarse, and his eyes flashed with complexity and pain: "I didn't want you to know this so early, Xiao Chuan... but now you have the God of Food's approval, the protection of the divine servant, and Xiao San is sensible... Dad doesn't want to keep it from you anymore."
Tang Hao remained silent for a moment, then slowly began to recount the past, his voice tinged with bitterness.
"These four single-attribute families were all affiliated families of the Clear Sky Sect back then. To be honest, they weren't exactly vassals of the Clear Sky Sect; they were more like followers of me."
Tang Hao's gaze became distant, filled with deep regret.
"Strength, defense, penetration, and agility each have their own strengths."
"The Clan of Strength is loyal and possesses unparalleled strength. Their patriarch, Titan, is one of the three greatest craftsmen in the world today."
"The Yu clan is known for its defense."
"Clan leader Niu Gao combined architectural skills with soul power, and his defense was regarded by Hu Yanzhen, the Sect Master of the Elephant Armor Sect of the Lower Four Sects, as the top existence second only to his own clan."
"Of course, opinions vary from person to person."
"At least in my opinion, Hu Yanzhen is not as good as Niu Gao."
"With one blow of my hammer, Niu Gao was seriously injured, and Hu Yanzhen was either dead or crippled. The plate-armored rhinoceros's defense is more outstanding in its toughness."
"The Diamond Mammoth Spirit of the Elephant Armor Sect is too fragile!"
Tang Hao and Tang Chuan recounted the past, occasionally interjecting with information about the forces on the mainland, their eyes filled with reminiscence.
Six years ago.
"Your mother, Ah Yin, is like Xiao Wu; she is a 100,000-year-old soul beast who has transformed into a human, but she is the Blue Silver Emperor."
"I don't know how the information leaked."
"The Spirit Hall's Pope, Qian Xunji, personally led the pursuit and encirclement. At that time, Ah Yin was pregnant with you and Xiao San. We fought and fled, hiding and hiding."
"But..."
Tang Hao's voice choked for a moment, and the scene of Ah Yin's sacrifice appeared before his eyes: "The Spirit Hall had many people and great power, and Ah Yin was pregnant... In the end, she was trapped in a deep mountain."
"Ah Yin, she…"
"To save me, she sacrificed herself after giving birth to you both, allowing me to break through to the Title Douluo level in the heat of battle and obtain my ninth spirit ring, which is 100,000 years old..."
Tang Hao spoke haltingly, with two tear tracks running down his cheeks.
"After gaining the strength of a Title Douluo, I severely injured the then Pope Qian Xunji, but he was rescued by his subordinates at the cost of their lives, and ultimately died from his injuries..."
"I took you two brothers, who were still in swaddling clothes, and hid our whereabouts."
"They eventually settled down in Holy Soul Village."
"But the Spirit Hall cannot swallow this insult."
Tang Hao said bitterly, "The Spirit Hall couldn't find me, so they vented their anger on the Clear Sky Sect."
"At that time, there were serious internal divisions within the sect."
"The faction led by your uncle believes that the fault did not lie with your father, but was caused by the arrogance of the Spirit Hall."
"Although the Pope of the Spirit Hall is dead, they brought this upon themselves."
"But the Spirit Hall, relying on its powerful influence, pressured the Clear Sky Sect, intending to harm the sect. My elder brother was forced to comply with the pressure from the Spirit Hall..."
"Draw a line between us."
Tang Hao sighed, thinking about what his younger sister Tang Yuehua had told him about the past a while ago, and felt an overwhelming sense of guilt towards the Clear Sky Sect and his elder brother Tang Xiao.
"The other faction is led by several elders."
"They believe that your father and your mother, Ah Yin, being together attracted the Spirit Hall's pursuit, leading to the subsequent conflict and nearly causing a direct confrontation between the sect and the Spirit Hall..."
At this point, Tang Hao raised his hand to cover his face, exuding a gloomy aura.
"And your grandfather died because of this."
"I already had internal injuries, and this added to the damage, I couldn't hold on any longer..."
Tang Hao's voice was filled with bitterness and self-reproach: "The four major single-attribute families originally followed me and depended on the sect."
"But the sect was struggling to protect itself at that time."
"To preserve the sect's foundation, they chose to close the mountain and avoid disaster, severing all contact with the outside world..."
"The sects closing their mountains is tantamount to abandoning them... The four major single-attribute families were already limited in strength, and faced with the Spirit Hall's frenzied retaliation, they suffered heavy losses, with countless family members killed or wounded..."
"By the time I received the news, everything was already set in stone."
"It's my fault that they've been dragged into this..."
"It is my incompetence as the Clear Sky Douluo that has brought shame upon the sect and, more importantly, those who swore to follow me to the death..."
"After this battle, countless elders of the four major single-attribute families were killed or wounded. The survivors scattered and fled, disheartened, and left the Clear Sky Sect to struggle for survival on their own..."
After Tang Hao finished speaking, the backyard fell silent.
The Dragon Lord and Snake Lady looked shocked. They had heard about the changes in the Clear Sky Sect back then and knew that Tang Hao had a grudge against the Spirit Hall, but they did not know that there was such a tragic connection between them.
Fatty Su and Skinny Su listened quietly, their playful smiles gone, their eyes filled with sympathy.
Tang Chuan understood.
But looking at Tang Hao's face, filled with guilt and pain, he still felt heavy and sorrowful for this past event.
In fact, it was the Clear Sky Sect that let down the four major single-attribute families.
More precisely, it was Tang Hao who let them down.
Being with spirit beasts is fine, and so is killing the Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji. The only problem is that he lacks responsibility.
If Tang Hao had stepped forward back then, the four major single-attribute families would never have broken away from the Clear Sky Sect.
And!
Tang Hao, one of the twin stars of Clear Sky, already enjoyed considerable prestige within the Clear Sky Sect and was essentially the successor to the Sect Master.
As long as Tang Hao raised his arm and called out, the Clear Sky Sect would definitely be filled with followers, and it would be impossible for them to close their mountains and go into seclusion.
Tang Hao does have a problem in this respect.
However, at that time, his wife had just died, he was seriously injured, and he had two sons to take care of... In short, it was a mess.
The Clear Sky Sect can blame Tang Hao.
The four major families with a single attribute can harbor resentment towards Tang Hao.
The only ones who shouldn't blame or resent him are himself and his mistress!
Tang Chuan recalled the records in the original work and analyzed them in his mind in light of Tang Hao's account of the past.
