Chapter 992 The Secret Behind the Scenes
Chapter 992 The Secret Behind the Scenes
"If you achieve meritorious service in the future, you can be promoted to inner sect elders at any time. What do you two think?"
Seeing the two make their vows, Tang Lan smiled and stood up, raising her glass in the process.
"The size of the position doesn't really interest us!"
"We will forever remember the kindness that Brother Tang Lan has shown us!"
Bauer and Kevin exchanged a glance, and then Bauer spoke.
At the same time, the two raised their glasses and clinked them against Tang Lan's.
"Once you join the Tang Clan, you're all family. There's no need for any favors. Just remember that you're part of the Tang Clan."
Tang Lan waved her hand, indicating that the two of them didn't need to be polite, and then drank the wine in her glass in one gulp.
The same applies to both Ball and Kevin.
"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Tang Lan, oh no, Vice Sect Master Tang Lan, are you going to the Sea of Death this time to obtain your soul ring?"
"And your target is those 100,000-year-old soul beasts."
Now that he has joined the Tang Clan, Kevin naturally has to think about the well-being of everyone in the Tang Clan.
In his view, Tang Lan had most likely reached level 89 and was about to break through that bottleneck.
A Soul Master as powerful as him would naturally prefer a Soul Ring that is over 100,000 years old.
After Kevin's explanation, Bauer seemed to understand as well and also began to worry about Tang Lan.
It is a true land of death, not just a name.
It is for all humans to enter, including Title Douluo.
"It's alright, trust me, I can handle it."
"Bauer, when are you going back to the Eastern Continent next?"
Tang Lan looked at the two of them with an extremely firm gaze.
"Upon arriving at Jinhui Port, I need to transport a batch of supplies back to the Eastern Continent."
"The sensible person waits for the guests who have made reservations in advance, and also buys some necessities for the ship."
"This back and forth will probably take twenty-five days."
After thinking carefully for a moment, Bauer gave a reasonable time.
Tang Lan nodded after hearing this, and then said, "Then it's a date. I'll come to Jinhui Port to find you in twenty-five days."
Kevin, standing to the side, had a complicated expression upon hearing this. After a moment of thought, he said, "Now that we have become outer sect elders of the Tang Sect, it is natural for us to return to the sect for a visit."
"In that case, I'll go back with you all in twenty-five days!"
The three reached a consensus and all smiled.
On the fifth day, a sudden gale arose in the sea, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the distance, and the roars of beasts could be heard from time to time.
Tang Lan and the others went up to the deck and gazed into the distance.
Both Bauer and Kevin had extremely serious expressions on their faces. Bauer spoke first: "It seems that there is indeed a problem with this sea area. It's not just the Primordial Sea, but the entire ocean has changed."
Kevin nodded: "The sea spirit beasts all began to become restless and agitated, even engaging in the most terrifying battles against each other, including the 100,000-year-old spirit beasts."
"There must be a reason for such a strange phenomenon."
Tang Lan remained silent throughout, but at one point she suddenly looked at the two of them and asked, "Is there a soul tool in the Sun Moon Empire that can interfere with sea soul beasts?"
This question immediately reminded Bauer and Kevin of the situation, and Kevin slapped his thigh and said:
"Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten about that!"
"I had heard long ago that the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire had developed a special soul tool for soul beasts."
"It is said that thing can indeed affect soul beasts, making them agitated, irrational, and even causing them to kill each other."
"After a series of experiments, they concluded that after soul beasts kill each other and are severely injured, it becomes easier for humans to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings and rare materials."
The atmosphere became subtly tense as soon as these words were spoken.
None of the three spoke; they simply gazed at each other silently.
It is clear that the strange things they encountered were caused by someone interfering.
The Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire is now among the three most suspected individuals.
"Their ambitions seem quite grand, given the wide-ranging influence they've achieved!"
"The Sun Moon Empire has always wanted to create a Super Douluo, or even a Peak Douluo. It seems they can't hold back any longer."
Tang Lan's expression revealed a hint of sneer and disdain.
Back when the Sun Moon Empire attacked the Eastern Continent, it was defeated because of the sheer number of Super Douluo and Peak Douluo.
In terms of peak Douluo level, the Sun Moon Empire has not produced a single one.
Later, when all the Super Douluo and Peak Douluo from the Eastern Continent were mobilized, they were forced to sign a ceasefire agreement by coercing the Sun Moon Empire.
For so many years, the Sun and Moon Empire has never given up its ambition to unify the two continents.

Although they outwardly continue to cooperate with the Eastern Continent, they have secretly begun to accumulate power.
"This is not something that you or I can change. Even if they caused this strange event at sea, we are outnumbered and have no say in it."
Kevin tried to comfort Tang Lan.
The Tang Clan has just risen to prominence and cannot represent anyone, much less the entire continent.
Tang Lan didn't say much about it. After finishing her drink, she turned and went back to her room.
Seven days later, accompanied by the sounding of the horn of the Bauer, the ship began to dock.
Standing on the deck and looking out, you can see the bustling city outside Jinhui Port.
This place became one of the most developed cities in the Sun Moon Empire because of Golden Radiance Port.
After briefly saying goodbye to Bauer and Kevin, Tang Lan went ashore.
The people here look quite different from those on the Eastern continent. They are mostly blond or brown-haired, with blue eyes, high noses, and deep-set eyes.
However, after so many years of cooperation between the two continents, people from the Eastern Continent can often be seen even in the Sun Moon Empire.
Tang Lan randomly chose a hotel to stay at, but unexpectedly, the hotel staff looked at her with a very strange expression.
"Sir, do you have a partner behind you?"
The blonde receptionist in the short skirt greeted Tang Lan with a professional smile and began to ask.
"No, it's just me!"
Tang Lan looked around and answered calmly.
"But sir."
The blonde receptionist paused, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopped herself, only to be interrupted by Tang Lan.
"Can't one person live here?"
"No, no, sir, please don't be offended. I'll arrange a room for you right away!"
The receptionist quickly processed Tang Lan's paperwork and gave her the key before Tang Lan happily went upstairs.
Walking along the corridor on the second floor, Tang Lan noticed something was amiss.
Because at the end of the corridor, there was a room with its door slightly ajar.
You could even hear men and women breathing heavily from inside from time to time.
Looking up at the doorplate, Tang Lan realized her room was right across the street. With a strange expression, she glanced at the opposite door and then opened her own door.
Once inside, Tang Lan was stunned again.
The entire room is decorated primarily in a romantic pink color scheme. (End of Chapter)
