Chapter 35 Dugu Bo arrived as scheduled and safely reached Mo City.
Three days later, Dugu Bo arrived as scheduled.
He was with a little girl with purple hair, who was his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
The little girl was seven years old, with fair skin and rare deep purple eyes, curiously looking at the majestic mountain gate of the Haotian Sect.
Tang Xiao personally came out to greet him, giving this newly joined Title Douluo ample face.
"Elder Dugu, welcome to the Haotian Sect." Tang Xiao smiled gently. "This must be Yan'er? What a pretty young lady."
Dugu Bo returned the greeting with clasped hands: "Sect Master, you are too kind. Yan'er greets Sect Master."
Dugu Yan bowed obediently: "Yan'er greets the Sect Master."
"No need for formalities." Tang Xiao waved his hand and looked at Tang Kun, "Second Elder, has Elder Dugu's accommodation been arranged?"
"It's all arranged." Tang Kun nodded. "It's located on the east side of the inner courtyard, a secluded courtyard, quiet and elegant, suitable for Elder Dugu's recuperation."
Dugu Bo felt a warmth in his heart. The Haotian Sect's thoughtful actions made him, a newcomer, feel respected.
Thank you.
"No need for formalities among family," Tang Xiao said solemnly. "Elder Dugu, the relocation is all prepared, and we will depart tomorrow."
"The journey is long, and we will need the elders' assistance in guarding the route."
"It's my duty," Dugu Bo replied without hesitation.
That night, Dugu Bozu and his grandson settled down.
Dugu Yan felt a little uneasy in the unfamiliar environment, but she was soon attracted by the curious gazes of the children of the same age in the Haotian Sect.
Especially when she learned that Tang Yu was the sect leader's nephew and about the same age as her, the distance between the two children suddenly shortened.
"Your name is Tang Yu? I heard you have innate full soul power?" Dugu Yan blinked her purple eyes, her eyes full of curiosity.
Tang Yu nodded: "Yeah, it was just luck."
"So what is your martial soul?"
"Haotian Hammer".
"The Haotian Hammer..." Dugu Yan seemed to understand, but not quite. "Is it very powerful?"
Tang Yu laughed: "It's alright."
Dugu Bo watched the two children interact, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
He was aloof and had few friends throughout his life, and his granddaughter was also lonely from a young age.
Now that Yan'er has joined the Haotian Sect, it's a good thing that she'll have more playmates.
At dawn the following day, hundreds of horse-drawn carriages were neatly lined up outside the gate of Haotian Sect.
Tang Xiao stood at the very front, his gaze sweeping over the fully equipped and ready-to-go team, and took a deep breath.
"Set off!"
The wheels rolled, raising clouds of dust.
The thousand-year foundation of the Haotian Sect has come to a temporary end.
The group split into several smaller groups, disguised as merchant caravans, and headed towards Mo City along different routes.
The four titled Douluo, Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, Tang Kun, and Dugu Bo, were scattered among the teams to ensure that each team had enough strength to deal with emergencies.
Tang Yu followed his grandfather Tang Kun's team.
Inside the carriage, Tang Yu lifted the curtain and watched the Haotian Sect's mountain gate gradually disappear into the distance, his heart filled with countless emotions.
Having traveled through six years, he has completely integrated into this world.
Haotian Sect is his home, and everyone here is his family.
"Grandpa, will we come back?" Tang Yu asked softly.
Tang Kun was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "We will. When we are strong enough, we will definitely come back."
"At that time, the humiliation of today will be repaid a hundredfold."
His voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable firmness.
Tang Yu nodded and said no more.
He closed his eyes and looked inward at himself.
In the dantian, the shattered dragon core of the Golden Dragon King was slowly rotating, absorbing and releasing golden energy. Although it was still dim, it was much better than before.
The golden dragon wings are perfectly integrated with the external soul bone and the back bones, and can be unfolded with a thought.
Although the million-year spirit ring only showed the yellow color of a hundred-year spirit ring, Tang Yu could clearly feel the power contained within it.
"Become stronger... I must become stronger as soon as possible." Tang Yu clenched his fist.
He knew how terrifying the future enemy would be.
The threats from the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu, and even the God Realm... Without sufficient power, it's all just empty talk.
The team traveled by day and rested by night, heading west.
During the migration, Tang Kun's team did not move very fast.
To avoid attracting attention, they chose secluded paths, traveling during the day and camping at night.
Tang Yu sat in the carriage, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing.
These past few days, he has been sorting through the fragments of memory inheritance that Long Dan gave him.
The fragments were scattered, mostly containing knowledge about the history of the dragon race and the use of its power. The most important of these was a basic cultivation method called the "Dragon God Technique".
According to fragmented memories, the "Dragon God Technique" is a foundational cultivation method for dragons in their infancy, primarily used to strengthen the physical body and refine the bloodline.
Although it is only a basic technique, it has unimaginable value for human soul masters.
Tang Yu tried to circulate his soul power according to the method of the "Dragon God Technique" and found that the Golden Dragon King bloodline in his body had a slight reaction.
A wisp of golden energy seeped from the dragon core in his dantian, circulating throughout his body with his soul power, slowly strengthening his muscles, bones, and flesh.
At this rate, his physical abilities will reach the Soul Master level in six months at most. By then, he might not even be level 20 yet.
"This is the power of the Dragon Clan's techniques..." Tang Yu was shocked.
Half a month later, the team arrived in Mo City.
From a distance, Mo City appears to be built against the mountain, with low but sturdy city walls.
The city's buildings are arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner, and there are many pedestrians on the streets, making it look quite prosperous.
A figure was already waiting not far outside the city.
"Sect Master, Second Elder, you must be tired from your journey." Tang Wei clasped his hands in greeting, his gaze sweeping over the group. "Everything has been arranged. Follow me."
After saying that, Tang Wei did not intend to lead everyone into the city, but instead headed southeast outside the city.
There is a private property belonging to the Mo family there, extremely secluded, which is sufficient to serve as a temporary foothold for the sect.
In the midnight council chamber
Five titled Douluo—Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, Tang Wei, Tang Kun, and Dugu Bo—gathered together.
"How is the situation?" Tang Xiao asked bluntly.
Tang Wei reported: "Mo City is now under our control."
"The Mo family, the Zhao family, the Sun family, the Qian family, and Li Qing from the Spirit Hall branch all chose to submit."
Tang Xiao nodded: "That's for the best. What we need now is time. We should keep this a secret for as long as possible."
"Have you scouted the Cloud Mist Mountains yet?" Tang Kun asked.
"I've scouted it out." Tang Wei took out a map and spread it out. "There are several suitable locations for establishing a sect deep in the mountains. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they are also close to mineral veins."
"I have already instructed the Imperial Clan to begin preliminary exploration. Once the specific location is selected, construction can commence."
Tang Xiao carefully examined the map and finally pointed to one of the spots: "How about here?"
It was a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one narrow passage leading in. It contained a water source and was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"This place is excellent," Tang Wei agreed, "but it will be difficult to build and will take time."
"We have time," Tang Xiao said in a deep voice. "If one year isn't enough, then two years; if two years isn't enough, then three years. We must build the new sect into an impregnable fortress."
"yes!"
With the matter settled, everyone dispersed.
