The person Niu Tian planned to take them to see was naturally Tang Hao, who slumbered beneath the Haotian Sect.
Niu Tian could sense that Mu En was now highly wary and defensive towards him because of the Golden Ancient Tree incident.
Tang Wei and the other elders of the Haotian Sect were also very dissatisfied with the two sect leaders.
They had never truly trusted them, otherwise they wouldn't have forbidden them from interfering in any affairs of the Haotian Empire after its establishment.
Normally, Niu Tian wouldn't care about such trivial matters.
But now, with the Sun
Moon Empire watching them like a hawk, if they remained so wary and unable to fully commit to the war, they would inevitably be defeated.
Niu Tian only wanted them to hold out longer, ideally until the connection between the God Realm and Douluo Continent was restored.
Therefore, taking them to see Tang Hao and having him explain things to them was the best solution.
After all, both Shrek Academy and the Haotian Sect regarded Tang Hao and Tang San as their ancestors.
After meeting Tang Hao later, wouldn't these guys have to respectfully obey him?
Although Mu En still wasn't completely wary of Niu Tian and Titan, he agreed to go to the Haotian Sect with him.
Tang Wei's expression darkened further upon learning that the person Niu Tian was going to take him to was at the Haotian Sect; his dissatisfaction with Niu Tian and Titan was almost overflowing.
As the Grand Elder of the Haotian Sect, how could the sect possess secrets even he didn't know? What was he, the Grand Elder, anyway?
A puppet used by Niu Tian and Titan to control the Tang family?
However, faced with the possibility of becoming a god, Tang Wei, no matter how unhappy he was, could only force himself to endure it.
As for Ye Xishui, she didn't care about Niu Tian and Titan's identities or schemes; she only cared about whether she could benefit from it and seize the opportunity to become a god!
Seeing that none of the three refused, Niu Tian and Titan wasted no time and directly led them to the location of Haotian Fortress.
During their journey to Haotian Fortress, Niu Tian and Titan had been secretly communicating.
They were constantly discussing strategies, figuring out how to explain to Tang Hao that the Golden Ancient Tree had been stolen by the Silver Dragon King.
After all, the Blue Silver Emperor was Tang Hao's wife; having one's wife taken by someone else was an unbearable humiliation for any man.
They hoped Tang Hao would be rational and shift the blame onto them.
They blamed Tang Wei and the other members of the Tang family.
If Tang Wei and the others hadn't insisted on making that ridiculous agreement forbidding them from interfering in anything related to the Haotian Empire, they wouldn't have only learned about the Golden Ancient Tree now.
Unfortunately, Niu Tian and Titan knew very well that both Tang Hao and Tang San would ultimately use this incident to their advantage and vent their anger on them.
That's what it's like to be someone else's dog; trying to control your own destiny is impossible.
However, when Niu Tian, Titan, and Mu En's group arrived at Haotian Fortress and saw its current state, everyone was stunned.
The once ancient yet grand Haotian Fortress had collapsed into ruins.
The once magnificent Cloud Recesses was now a scene of utter devastation.
Seeing this, Niu Tian and Titan were both stunned.
What the hell was going on?
Who attacked Haotian Fortress without their knowledge?
On the other side, Tang Wei, after a brief silence, screamed and charged towards the ruins of Haotian Fortress.
"Damn it! Who is it? Who dares to attack Haotian Fortress? They deserve to die!"
"You better pray I don't find out who did it, or I'll tear you to pieces!"
Tang Wei frantically dug through the rubble, trying to restore everything buried beneath.
The Tang family members who remained weren't particularly important; their talent and strength were far inferior.
However, Haotian Fortress still held what their Haotian Sect depended on for survival.
It contained the treasure that allowed them to communicate with the God Realm and obtain divinely bestowed spirit rings.
If they lost that, what difference would there be between their Haotian Sect and any other sect?
Looking at Tang Wei's crazed state, Mu En didn't gloat; instead, he felt a pang of sympathy.
Tang Wei was now just like he had been when he learned Shrek Academy had become ruins.
Even though these guys from the Haotian Sect had established the Haotian Empire, ambitiously attempting to replace the Sun Moon Empire as the sole ruler of the Douluo Continent,
Haotian Fortress, located in the Cloud Recesses, was probably an indispensable home for these Tang family members.
Unaware of the truth, Mu En sighed and silently watched this scene.
Niu Tian and Titan, also watching Tang Wei, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Brother, when Haotian Fortress is destroyed, will it affect that person's slumber?"
Niu Tian pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"No, don't forget there's a barrier around where he sleeps."
"Besides the two of us, only the one inside the Golden Ancient Tree can enter the barrier and awaken him."
"Even if Haotian Fortress is destroyed, or even if this mountain collapses, it probably won't affect that person in the slightest."
Hearing this, Titan breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Since arriving here, Titan had been filled with an ominous premonition, and Niu Tian's words undoubtedly gave him a final bit of confidence.
However, their conversation filled Mu En and Ye Xishui with doubt.
"That person? Niu Tian, who exactly is the person you're talking about? Is it the one who holds the secret to becoming a god?"
Niu Tian nodded slightly.
"You could say that."
"Things have developed to this point, whether it's your Shrek Academy, the Holy Spirit Cult, or the Haotian Sect, he has become the last hope."
Niu Tian wasn't lying.
If even Tang Hao couldn't get Gu Yuena to back down, then with the God Realm and Douluo Continent cut off from each other, they would have no chance against the Sun Moon Empire.
Mu En and Ye Xishui urged them to go and awaken
the other party. Tang Wei, who had searched the entire Haotian Fortress without finding the treasure that could grant him a divinely bestowed soul ring, also followed the two towards the passage in a fit of rage.
He wanted to see which bastard was hiding beneath their Haotian Fortress.
However, when they entered the passage, Niu Tian and Titan's faces turned deathly pale.
