A month has passed, and the internal atmosphere of the Tang Sect has become unusually anxious. The sect leader, Mr. Tang, sits alone in the spacious and elegant study, wearing a worried expression.
On the desk, three beautiful petals of the Buddha's Rage Tang Lotus shimmer faintly in the lamplight, but they also appear so dazzling.
The study is designed to be extremely luxurious, with embroidered brocade hanging on the walls depicting auspicious patterns, and a carpet depicting ever-changing wind and clouds. Various classical furniture is placed, giving the whole space a heavy sense of history. However, such a beautiful scene seems to not arouse any interest in Mr. Tang.
"Master, we have searched everywhere this month, but still have nothing to show for it..." An elder, wearing a heavy jade pendant and a sword at his waist, walked in slowly, filled with worry.
Mr. Tang picked up a jade tea cup and carefully examined it. The surface of the jade resembled the undulations of a waterfall in the mountains, fresh and elegant. After taking a sip of tea, he slowly put it down. He paused for a moment, then heavily tapped the table, "Keep searching for me!"
The heavy tapping seemed to shake the entire study, and the elder suddenly felt the pressure increase.
"Master, do you think he might have already...?" Before the elder could finish speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Mr. Tang.
"It's impossible. Unless I see the body with my own eyes, it means he's still alive. Tang San is the future hope of the Tang Sect, and also an important figure we need to retrieve."
Mr. Tang shifted his gaze to the window, watching the slowly moving bright moon. "Listen up, expand the search range, at all costs, find him. And, notify all the sects, whoever can provide information about Tang San will be heavily rewarded."
"Yes, Sect Leader!" The elder immediately responded respectfully, then exited the study.
Mr. Tang slowly stood up and walked to the corner of the study where a heavy bookshelf stood. His fingers gently touched a thick book. This book recorded the history of Tang Sect over the past century and some important secrets. He took a deep breath, feeling the pressure in his heart like a huge mountain.
"Tang San, where are you...?" he muttered softly, looking at the bright moon, filled with doubt and unease.
Tang San's disappearance not only affects the future of Tang Sect, but may also change the entire martial arts world. At this moment, the sect leader is more eager to know where Tang San has gone, and why he has just disappeared like that?
On the other side, Yunxian sect.
Yunxuan's mood was like the surging river, unable to help but take a walk in the inner courtyard. Tang San seemed to sense her unease and silently followed behind her.
"Ah, Tang San should also have his own destiny and choices, right?" Yunxuan secretly thought. The plot and development in those books made her struggle, wondering if she could do something to bring about the meeting of Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"Soul-devouring Pill!" A thought flashed through her mind, and she quickly made a note of this fleeting idea.
One day, Yunxuan deliberately summoned Elder Liu Ting and said solemnly, "Elder, my progress in learning Divine Weapon Illusionism is really not good. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to avenge the sect and the sect master."
Elder Liu Ting asked with a hint of concern, "So, Yunxuan, have you thought of any good solutions?"
Yunxuan paused for a moment, pondering each word carefully before saying, "I have come up with a method to enhance my Spiritual Sea, but it is extremely dangerous and requires a long period of seclusion, as well as someone to protect me."
Upon seeing this, Elder Liu Ting quickly agreed, saying, "In that case, we will do as you say. For the sect, for revenge, the elders will fully support you."
Before long, Elder Liu Ting found an excellent place for seclusion, a cave with auspicious energy and harmonious yin and yang. Yunxuan repeatedly emphasized, "Elder Liu Ting, this seclusion is very important. No matter what happens, please do not disturb me easily."
"Don't worry, I will be discreet," Liu Ting nodded earnestly.
After all the preparations were in place, Yunxuan secretly put a sleeping drug in Tang San's food. She specifically ordered her subordinates to hide Tang San in seclusion first, and then, the next day, under the watchful eye of Elder Liu Ting, she herself entered the seclusion area.
As the huge stone door of the cave slowly closed, Yunxuan quickly took out two prepared Soul-devouring Pills. She intended to have Tang San take one first, but at that moment, she realized that Tang San was nowhere to be seen.
The indoor atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating. Yunxuan was sweating as she held two Soul-devouring Pills in her hands. She stood in a stone chamber in the inner courtyard of the Yunxian Sect, surrounded by dark stone walls carved with countless runes, containing deep history and indescribable power.
The sound of the stone gate slowly closing just now still echoed in Yunxuan's ears, but at this moment, she suddenly felt the emptiness around her. She frowned, feeling increasingly puzzled, because she had clearly instructed her subordinates to bring Tang San in.
"Are you looking for me?" A voice suddenly came from behind.
Yunxuan suddenly turned around and saw Tang San standing in a corner behind the stone room door, his face carrying a subtle seriousness that was not easily detectable.
"Tang San, so it's you here," Yunxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but Tang San's expression made her feel uneasy.
"Why did you drug me?" Tang San's tone was calm but carried an unfathomable chill.
"I...," Yunxuan was momentarily at a loss for words, her hand trembling slightly as she held the Soul-devouring Pill. She wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.
"I'm doing this for your own good!" she finally mustered the courage to say.
"For my own good?" A cold light flashed in Tang San's eyes. "Then what are you holding in your hand? Could it be the Soul-devouring Pill?"
Upon hearing the words "Soul-devouring Pill," Yunxuan felt a tingling sensation on her scalp. Now she was even more speechless.
Tang San suddenly slapped the ground, creating a surge of elemental force that separated himself and Yunxuan. His figure moved like a ghostly apparition, and in the blink of an eye, he was already standing on the other side of the stone chamber.
Yunxuan clenched her teeth and activated the elemental power beneath her, using the light-footed steps. Her figure seemed to become ethereal, heading straight for Tang San.
"Tang San, stop!" Yunxuan shouted, but Tang San seemed not to hear, as his hand had already touched a piece of mysterious jade in front of the stone chamber door, trying to open the stone door.
At this moment, Yunxuan, feeling helpless, gritted his teeth and took out a talisman from his sleeve. He chanted a spell, and the talisman instantly transformed into a flying eagle, swiftly pouncing towards Tang San.
Tang San's eyes narrowed, but before he could react, Yunxuan had already scattered a pinch of hypnotic powder into the air. The smoke filled the entire stone chamber in an instant. Tang San suddenly realized the danger, but his body was already out of control, falling towards the ground.
Yunxuan began to feel dizzy, obviously affected by the disorienting powder. Despite this, she endured the discomfort and crawled to Tang San with her last bit of strength.
She took out two Soul-devouring Pills from her pocket, but Tang San looked puzzled and wary. He kept his mouth tightly closed, evading her attempts to force the Soul-devouring Pills into his mouth.
"Tang San, you've left me no choice," sighed Yunxuan as she bit into two Soul-devouring Pills and held them in her mouth.
Gently pressing her lips against Tang San's, she transferred half of the Soul-devouring Pills' potency to him. Tang San's eyes widened in panic, but it was too late. The effects of the Soul-devouring Pills quickly took hold, causing a strong dizziness and gradually clouding his consciousness.
After all this was done, Yunxuan was no longer able to support herself. Her vision gradually blurred, and finally, she and Tang San fell to the ground in the stone chamber, entering a state of fuzzy consciousness.
The effect of the Soul-devouring Pill seemed to have some kind of extraordinary power, causing Tang San and Yunxuan to once again enter a fuzzy state of consciousness, but this time they realized that they had been pulled into a whole new world.
When they woke up, the two of them found themselves in another world - Douluo Continent.
