Chapter 174: Shrek Returns to the Mainland.
On Seagod Island, after everyone absorbed their divinely bestowed spirit rings, they emerged from the Seagod Temple together.
The Shrek Seven were now unprecedentedly powerful, including Tang San, a level 100 player, two Titled Douluo, three Soul Douluo, and a Soul Sage. Furthermore, with the might of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, Ning Rongrong was undoubtedly Douluo Continent's foremost support spirit master.
After exiting the Seagod Temple, the Seven Divine Pillars of Seagod Island saluted Tang San, welcoming the new Seagod. The entire Seagod Island was in a frenzy, seemingly celebrating the birth of a new Seagod. Even the Demon Soul Great White Sharks leaped upon the surface of the sea.
Ultimately, Tang San decreed that Sea Dragon Douluo be appointed the new High Priest of Seagod Island. With no way to contact the divine realm, the Seven Divine Pillars and the original Seagod Temple were no longer usable. The seven members of the group remained together in the old Seagod Temple, temporarily ensuring the operation of Seagod Island. They would address this matter once the situation stabilized.
Led by Xiaobai, the Demonic Great White Shark, and his clansmen, the eight of them left Seagod Island, with Xiaobai officially becoming the new Seagod's mount.
Soon, Tang San and his group returned to Vast Sea City. However, the situation there seemed tense, something amiss.
Just as Tang San and his companions were hesitant, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao appeared. They were overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing Tang San officially become Seagod, and especially upon seeing their grandfather return.
Knowing that Vast Sea City was under surveillance, they led the group to a secluded location to maintain secrecy.
Arriving in a secluded valley, Tang San observed the injuries on Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, and the black aura emanating from them, and quickly used his divine power to heal them. After the healing was complete, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, along with the remaining clansmen, knelt before Tang Chen, saying, "Grandpa, I've missed you so much, and so has the entire Haotian Sect. You've finally recovered, and this is the hope of our Haotian Sect."
Tang Chen, Tang San, and the six Shrek members looked at the brothers in confusion. Finally, Tang Xiao reported the outcome of the Jialing Pass battle and all the recent events to Tang Chen.
All they could hear was that the Tiandou Empire had been completely defeated on the Jialing Pass battlefield, that Emperor Xuepeng had been captured, that the five great elders of the Haotian Sect had been captured or killed, leaving only a few dozen remaining, that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had been officially disbanded, and that Sword Bone Douluo had joined the Elemental Academy.
Everyone was shocked by this information, especially Ning Rongrong, who fainted.
Tang San was relatively calm: "Father, uncle, this means that the Spirit Empire has now occupied nearly 80% of the continent. The Xingluo Empire is the only one in the entire continent organizing people near Xingluo City to oppose the Spirit Empire."
Tang Hao said with some sadness: "Yes, Xingluo City is the only one in the entire continent that is still resisting the Spirit Empire."
"Father, what about the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? How did Seniors Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo join the Elemental Academy?"
"After the defeat that day, we and the remaining people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect ran to the Elemental Academy and asked for refuge. The Elemental Academy still maintains a neutral attitude and is unwilling to participate in the confrontation with the Spirit Empire."
"At that time, Wang Xiaofei directly stated that if we joined the Elemental Academy and stayed out of any future conflicts within the Spirit Master world, he would protect us all. But the grudge between our Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Empire runs deep; we couldn't just give up on revenge."
"Ultimately, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's leader, Ning Fengzhi, decided on the spot to disband the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and retire. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, both severely injured and poisoned, ultimately decided to leave the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and join the Elemental Academy. That's when we parted ways with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."
Tang San seemed infuriated. "How could the Elemental Academy do this? Aren't they taking advantage of someone in need? And why would Sect Leader Ning disband the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect? Has he forgotten the hatred between the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the Spirit Empire?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone present fell silent. He hadn't expected such drastic changes to occur in such a short time since leaving the continent.
His million-strong army and the two major sects had been instantly reduced to ashes. How could he possibly fight the Spirit Empire if things continued like this?
Tang San pondered for a moment, "Father, how is my teacher doing? And how is the Tang Sect in Tiandou City doing now?"
Yu Xiaogang, due to his relative weakness and his position as the Heaven Dou Empire's Imperial Master, had been with the Snow Avalanche Emperor. Even with his own strength, he couldn't escape. Furthermore, as the Heaven Dou Empire's Imperial Master, he was a key target of the Spirit Empire's attention. Ultimately, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were captured by the Titled Douluo.
After Tang San and the other seven left the battlefield, Bai He was responsible for relaying information. The Min Clan was the fastest flying spirit master in the world, while the Power Clan was engaged in weapons manufacturing in Tiandou City, not participating heavily in the frontline battles.
Since the Tang Sect lacked the Yu Clan and Po Clan from the original novel, few warriors were truly deployed on the front lines, and most served in support roles, either relaying information or training the troops in the use of Tang Sect hidden weapons.
Tang Hao shook his head: "I don't know what's going on with your teacher. At that time on the battlefield, all of us were fighting against Bibi Dong who had become a god, and we had no time to pay attention to your teacher."
"As for the current situation of the Tang Sect, I'm not too clear about it. After leaving the battlefield, we all went directly to the Element Academy. At the Element Academy, we heard Wang Xiaofei say that you were about to become a god. So we quickly came to Hanhai City."
"Tiandou City has not completely fallen yet, and the army of the Spirit Empire has not captured Tiandou City so quickly. I believe Titan and Baihe should take the people of the Tang Sect to hide."
Tiandou City is half a month's journey from Jialing Pass for an ordinary army, and a Titled Douluo is not suitable to directly lead several high-end soul masters to capture a large city. Therefore, before the arrival of the Spirit Empire army, Tiandou City did not fall.
At this time, Ning Rongrong spoke up: "Two seniors, do you know where my father and the others are now?"
"Miss Ning, since leaving the Elemental Academy, we have been separated from your father. As for your father's current whereabouts, we don't know, but I believe Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo should know. Your father should be in a secret place in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong calmed down. She seemed to be wondering where her father might be. As one of the top three sects, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect even became the world's number one sect in a short period of time. It is impossible that they didn't have any backup plans. And as the only eldest daughter, Ning Rongrong should have some idea in her mind.
