Chapter 202: Yang Wudi's Anger
Upon hearing Yang Wudi's questioning, Tang San's face darkened.
As Yang Wudi had said, Tang San's so-called compensation for the three major single-attribute families was actually an attempt to recruit them into Tang Sect, even to have their entire families join Tang Sect, thereby contributing to the construction of Tang Sect.
In Tang San's eyes, Tang Sect not only had limitless potential, but would one day stand strong on the Douluo Continent. Through the trade of hidden weapons, it would gain massive profits, and at that time, Tang Sect would surely surpass Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, becoming the wealthiest sect in the world.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Yang Wudi and the others were not giving him a chance to express himself and couldn't see the future glory of Tang Sect.
At this moment, Tang San gritted his teeth and said: "Senior Yang Wudi, I do not wish to recruit you. Instead, I have established a new sect called Tang Sect. You will all be core members of the sect, and your families will benefit greatly from it. This is my way of compensating you on behalf of my father."
Yang Wudi snorted coldly: "There's no need for that. I don't know what you are thinking, nor do I know what your father, Tang Hao, is thinking. In any case, I don't want to have anything to do with your Tang family anymore."
Behind him, Tai Tan seemed displeased with Yang Wudi's attitude: "Old goat, what do you mean by that? The young master is doing this for your benefit. Don't you know that the young master's talent is unparalleled, and his strategy and vision far exceed yours? This is your Po family's true opportunity for rise."
Yang Wudi stared fiercely at Tai Tan: "Old gorilla, I don't know what kind of spell you're under. Why must you follow Haotian Sect and play around with Tang San? Our Po family will never risk the lives of hundreds of our members for any Tang family person again. We don't want to be backstabbed by your Tang family."
Tang San quickly spoke up: "Senior, as long as you join Tang Sect, we will be like family. I swear on my life that I will never backstab anyone, nor will I let the Po family suffer any harm."
Yang Wudi's face suddenly twisted into an extremely ferocious expression: "Tang San, what gives you the right to say such things? Is it your strength, or the power of your father, Tang Hao, that gives you the audacity to be so arrogant?"
"Don't forget that with your current strength, you almost lost your life in the hands of Wuhun Hall. Now you speak like this, do you expect anyone to believe you?"
After Yang Wudi's words, the entire room fell into an eerie silence.
Whether it was Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, or even Bai He, they all looked at Tang San with disdain.
In the world of soul masters, strength was everything. Tang San, a mere Soul Emperor, speaking so grandly had no credibility at all.
Tang San looked at the expressions of everyone and suddenly became very cold: "Senior Yang Wudi, I am only twenty years old and have already reached the Soul Emperor level. In the future, I will certainly reach a level that no soul master has ever reached before. Are you not afraid that one day, you will regret this decision?"
Yang Wudi seemed to be laughing out of extreme anger: "Well, little brat, no wonder you are Tang Hao's child. You have even more talent than Tang Hao did back then."
"However, have you forgotten that you are only a Soul Emperor right now? You are still far from me. Do you think I wouldn't be able to keep you here today, so you don't become a future disaster?"
Tang San's expression changed in shock. Though he was always competitive and had Tai Tan, a powerful ally, beside him, the other side had a Title Douluo and two top Soul Douluos. He was not capable of facing them at his current level.
Yang Wudi continued: "Compared to your selfish father, you are even more pitiful. Tang Hao was just a coward, but you—on the surface, you claim to want to compensate us, but in reality, you just want us to work for you. Do you think everyone in this world is a fool?"
"Moreover, we don't want to depend on you, but you, relying on your talent, speak so arrogantly. If your father were not Tang Hao, you would probably have been dead a thousand times by now."
Tang San's face turned extremely dark: "Senior Yang Wudi, you may criticize me, but you have no right to speak ill of my father."
Yang Wudi sneered: "Did I say something wrong? After Tang Hao killed Qian Xun Ji, he unilaterally announced his withdrawal from the soul master world, abandoned Haotian Sect, and disappeared without a trace. Did he ever consider the lives of people like us? Did he ever think about the Haotian Sect that raised him?"
"Did the Po family's hundreds of lives go to waste, and now you expect us to serve your Tang family for eternity? I don't want any more involvement with your Tang family."
Even Tang San was at a loss for words at this moment. From the beginning, the Po family had always been victims. No matter what Tang San said, it seemed unreasonable.
Tang San originally wanted to use the excuse of compensating the three single-attribute families to have them join Tang Sect, gain vast wealth from hidden weapon trade, and eliminate their hatred toward his father.
Unfortunately, neither Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, nor Bai He was responding to his words. They even looked down on the Tang Sect he planned to establish.
Tang San clenched his teeth: "Senior Yang Wudi, Senior Niu Gao, I want to make a bet with you. Let's have a contest. If I lose, I will immediately turn around and leave and never disturb you again."
Hearing this, Yang Wudi showed a strange smile: "Hahaha, this is interesting, but we're not interested in your little bet. No matter how high your talent is or how strong your potential is, my Po family doesn't want anything to do with you."
Tang San revealed a hint of provocation in his eyes: "Senior Yang Wudi, are you afraid? Are you afraid of failure?"
Yang Wudi smirked: "If it were just for my personal satisfaction, maybe I'd be willing to play with you, little brat. But I don't want to take any risks that would put the Po family in your hands."
"I know you, kid, you're full of schemes and your strength is extraordinary, even your talent is top-notch. But with the way you proposed this bet, I have no respect for you, let alone play a game with you."
Tang San's eyes showed confusion: "Senior, what do you mean? Are you worried about the fairness of the bet?"
Yang Wudi shook his head: "You're wrong, kid. I'm not worried about the outcome or fairness of the bet. The problem is you have a heavy gambling mindset, but your strength doesn't match it."
"No matter what the situation, I would never gamble with the lives of my family, even if the odds were in my favor. As long as there is even the slightest chance of losing, I won't risk the lives of my clan."
"Also, let me give you some advice, kid. Don't casually bet on things, especially when it concerns your family's life. In this world, all bets are decided by the strong. If you meet people like us, that's fine, but if you run into the Wuhun Hall people, you won't even know how you died."
"Let me ask you this, would you be willing to gamble with your father's or your loved one's life?"
Tang San was once again speechless. His entire life had been tied to his father, Tang Hao, and his love for Xiao Wu. He would never let them come to any harm, not even for the greatest of benefits.
Tai Tan seemed to understand Tang San's predicament and shouted in anger: "Old goat, don't go too far. Tang San is just young; he won't be young forever."
Yang Wudi sneered: "Old gorilla, you've gone too far. Tang San is obviously up to no good and full of ambition. If you're willing to risk the lives of your Li family members, that's your choice, but don't drag my Po family into this."
Tai Tan's eyes showed deep anger: "Old goat, don't forget how your Po family came to be. Old rhino, old white bird, don't forget how your two families were founded."
"Back then, the single-attribute families were all supported by Haotian Sect. Without the master, there would be no today for you."
Niu Gao shouted angrily: "Old gorilla, if you want to follow this little brat, that's your business. Do you really think that if Tang San weren't Tang Hao's son, he would have the right to speak here?"
"Don't talk about you guys, even if Tang Hao himself came, even if Haotian Sect returned, I would still have the same attitude."
Seeing that the situation was about to escalate into a physical confrontation, Tai Tan turned his gaze to Bai He.
"Old white bird, do you think the same? Don't you want to give this junior a chance?"
As for Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, their attitudes were already very clear. They completely rejected Tang San and Haotian Sect.
But Bai He had not said a word throughout the conversation and had even shown some signs of being moved earlier.
It was important to note that in terms of relationships, Tang Hao and Tang San were closest to Bai He, who was Tang Hao's maternal uncle, making him Tang San's granduncle.
However, after hearing Tai Tan's words, Bai He's expression remained unchanged: "Old gorilla, we've had some dealings over the years, but for the sake of Tang San, you're willing to ignore all these years of friendship? I think you've lost your mind."
"My Min family has finally stabilized, and we've made some progress. I will never let the Min family fall into danger."
Tai Tan quickly spoke: "Old white bird, don't you trust me either? Tang San has a complete plan for establishing a new sect, and he will make sure our new sect is safe and prosperous."
"Hasn't your Min family been cooperating with Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a long time? You've seen the hidden weapons they use, and these weapons were provided by the young master. They are perfect for your Min family."
Bai He shook his head: "Old gorilla, I think you've truly lost your mind. The hidden weapons are good, but you've forgotten the essence of being a soul master. A soul master's foundation is still their martial soul and soul power. Only with that can one truly become strong."
Since joining the Body Sect, Bai He's family had not only gained an immortal herb, but they were also on the path to Title Douluo. Additionally, they had received Yang Xiong's teachings on the Spiral Force and the Body Sect's physical training, providing immense benefits. This had solved the Min family's previous weakness of lacking offensive strength.
What they gained from these was far more useful than any hidden weapons.
Not to mention, the hidden weapons had been provided by Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Though Bai He didn't know the full details, he couldn't possibly risk his entire family just for some hidden weapons.
Tai Tan felt helpless hearing this. As a top Soul Douluo, he understood well what hidden weapons meant for high-level soul masters like himself.
At that moment, a mighty figure suddenly appeared outside the door. The person appeared ragged, but their presence was overwhelming.
