Chapter 21 Cleaning Up the Mess, the Dust Settles Down
A 100,000-year-old soul beast is extremely rare on the Douluo Continent today.
If a Title Douluo were to obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring as his ninth spirit ring, his strength would undoubtedly be among the top of all Title Douluos!
This is the value of a 100,000-year-old soul beast!
Correspondingly, 100,000-year-old soul beasts are hard to obtain, and soul rings and soul bones of 10,000-year-old level that match one's own level are also scarce resources.
Like Tang Xiao, the sect master of Haotian Sect, all he has is a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone passed down from Haotian Sect.
So when the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear revealed its soul bone, the elders' expressions changed instantly.
Their current strength already stands at the top of this continent. If they want to improve their strength, the only options besides doing their best to increase their soul power level are to obtain opportunities to improve their strength through soul bones.
A soul bone that matches their own attributes would be an absolute temptation for them!
The Fifth Elder swallowed hard, reached out and grabbed at the air, pulling out a crystal-clear piece of his left arm bone.
"It really is a soul bone! And it's at the 70,000-year level."
His hands trembled slightly, filled with excitement. The anger over the massacre of his disciples was somewhat diminished.
If he could exchange the lives of several disciples for a 70,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Bone, he probably wouldn't be able to refuse.
Tang Xiao and Tang Qingqing also surrounded it, their eyes lingering on the soul bone, their eyes filled with longing.
The Fifth Elder was torn between his own feelings and his own, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and handed the soul bone to Tang Xiao. "Keep it! This thing can only be of the greatest use if it is given to you."
Although the other elders also wanted to obtain the soul bone, they all agreed with the Fifth Elder's statement.
Tang Xiao is currently at level 96 and is preparing to break through to level 97. With this soul bone, the strength of the Haotian Sect will be further enhanced.
Tang Xiao looked at everyone, his eyes filled with gratitude, and nodded emphatically, saying, "Thank you all!"
"I will swear to protect the Haotian Sect with my life!"
Seeing this, the elders didn't say anything more. Logically and emotionally, this soul bone should belong to the sect leader.
Tang Xiao put the soul bone into his storage soul tool and said to everyone, "The Beast King is dead, so the beast tide is over."
"Alas, this is truly an undeserved disaster."
"Elders, let's go check on the wounded..."
When Tang Xiao entered the village, he saw Tang Long, Tang Hu, and Ye Ming waiting for him there.
Tang Long stepped forward first, handing the three-thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur claw bear left palm bone to Tang Xiao, and explained the cause and effect.
Tang Xiao nodded, his gaze sweeping over the three of them, while he pondered in his heart, "This external soul bone is extremely valuable and is very suitable for sect disciples."
"If Tang Long and Tang Hu were to obtain them, their own cultivation would surely be able to advance to the next level. Currently, the Haotian Sect is powerful, and only they can uphold the reputation of the younger generation of the Haotian Sect."
"Furthermore, Hao's son, Tang San, will soon return to the sect. Yuehua said that Tang San is a rare and unparalleled genius. Giving him this external soul bone should hopefully dispel any rifts between us..."
As his thoughts raced, he didn't even consider Ye Ming.
After all, although Ye Ming had shown talent, his cultivation level was still too low, and most importantly, there was a difference in treatment based on personal relationships...
Tang Xiao put the external soul bone into his storage soul tool and nodded to the three of them, saying, "I am aware of this matter, and I will make arrangements afterward."
"Our priority is to treat the wounded and assess the casualties!"
Tang Xiao arranged everything in just a few words, and Ye Ming thought to himself, "He's completely disregarding me."
"Tsk, Sect Leader Tang is indeed worthy of being a sect leader; he has to consider the sect in everything."
"Unfortunately, I only think about myself..."
Ye Ming thought to himself, but his face remained calm as he silently followed Tang Long and the others into the village to handle the aftermath.
The disciples of the Haotian Sect were all strong men, so they handled the work of moving bricks and cleaning with ease. It only took them half a day to clean up the entire village.
Of the seventy-nine disciples of the Haotian Sect in the entire village, nineteen remain, including Ye Ming.
Of the 131 disciples of the affiliated sect, 21 survived.
The attack on the village by the spirit beasts resulted in the deaths of 170 people!
In fact, most people didn't even have time to react before they died from the first wave of attacks from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Beast King!
After the disciples behind them reacted and withstood the first wave of the soul beast's attack, they were rescued by Tang Xiao and the others.
In the center of the village, on a cleared square, lay rows of blood-stained corpses.
Among these corpses, more than thirty were completely emaciated.
However, no one was too surprised, since most of these corpses had been gnawed by soul beasts and their faces were indistinguishable.
Some were even smashed to pieces by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and their bodies were never found.
Upon closer inspection, it will be discovered that these shriveled corpses are all descendants of the Haotian Sect.
At present, the Haotian Sect has more than two hundred direct disciples left, all of whom are present. A sense of sorrow and solemnity permeates the entire village.
"These are our comrades, our family!"
"They died protecting the Clear Sky Sect; they are heroes!"
"The deceased are gone, but we must carry on with the hopes of our departed loved ones!"
"May the fame of my Haotian Sect resound throughout the entire continent!"
"The entire clan will wear mourning for the fallen hero for three days..."
After Tang Xiao finished speaking, he stepped forward and bowed, and everyone bowed at the same time to the dead corpses.
In the crowd, Ye Ming sighed inwardly, Tang Xiao truly lived up to his reputation as the sect leader; he had won over everyone with just a few words.
If you want to continue to improve your skills, Tang Xiao is definitely a formidable enemy.
After the ceremony, Tang Xiao set fire to the body of his deceased disciple, sending him to heaven. Then, everyone began to deal with the aftermath once again.
The entire village is littered with the corpses of dead soul beasts, and these all need to be dealt with.
Although the number of deaths in the Haotian Sect this time was large, the value generated by these soul beast corpses can make up for a lot of it.
The fur, claws, teeth, and bones of some spirit beasts are all medicinal materials, and their flesh and blood, which can strengthen the body, are even more valuable treasures.
The older the soul beast, the greater its value!
Tang Long and Tang Hu led their disciples to clean up the village ruins, while Tang Xiao led a group of elders back to the sect on the mountain peak to discuss matters.
For seven consecutive days, Ye Ming did not touch the Gu worms in the hollow orifice at all, and followed the others to repair the house and clean up the remains of the soul beast.
Night had fallen, and the dilapidated village was dotted with white sails, sparsely populated, like a ghost village.
Only after everything had settled down did Ye Ming return to the small wooden house where a wall of the courtyard had been destroyed by the soul beast.
Now only thirty-four people remain in the entire village, and it has lost its significance as an outpost.
"I am now an inner disciple, but Tang Long said that we should wait a few more days and move to the sect on the mountain peak together with the rest of the villagers."
Ye Ming stroked his chin. "According to the news he sent, it's to wait for Tang San to arrive before we go together."
"In other words, the plot is officially getting on track..."
A glint flashed in his eyes as he summoned the Blood Skull Gu, murmuring, "Then it's time for me to improve my strength again..."
"I wonder how much my qualifications will improve this time with those thirty-odd brothers!"
