When Wang Dong heard the words "Tang Sect," his body trembled slightly, and he asked in surprise, "Are you from the Tang Sect?"
Tang Ya nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, indeed. Now, there are only two of us left in the Tang Sect, but our Tang Sect used to be the number one sect on the continent! I am the current sect master of the Tang Sect, and this is my senior disciple, Beibei. How about that? Are you impressed? Come on, Wang Dong, the Tang Sect welcomes you!"
After a brief moment of shock, Wang Dong hurriedly nodded and said, "Sure! I've heard about the incredible hidden weapons of the Tang Sect long ago. Tang Sect Master, I want to join the Tang Sect. Please accept me!"
"Eh," a hint of hesitation flashed in Tang Ya's eyes. She didn't expect Wang Dong to agree so readily with just a casual question.
With a faint flicker of her purple magic eyes, Tang Ya also saw Wang Dong's extraordinary potential. Refined essence, solid soul power—clear signs of someone from a prominent family background. But this only deepened her suspicion.
"Have you really thought it through? You see, the Tang Sect no longer has its mansion, and our foundation has been seized. Currently, there are only Beibei and me left in the Tang Sect!" Tang Ya reiterated.
"That's perfect!" Wang Dong earnestly nodded and said, "I want to join the Tang Sect and learn hidden weapons from you!"
Upon hearing this, Beibei's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Wang Dong's almost perfect puppy-like face, then at Tang Ya beside him, and a sense of vigilance appeared in his eyes.
Not picky at all, just wholeheartedly wanting to join this declining sect? What are you aiming for, Wang Dong? You seem like the guy next door!
"Alright, as the sect master of the Tang Sect, I allow you to join." After a moment of contemplation, Tang Ya couldn't resist Wang Dong's temptation.
"After joining the Tang Sect, you need to continuously improve your cultivation and become stronger. When the sect needs you, you must contribute. I won't deceive you. Our Tang Sect has indeed declined, but our techniques are still intact. However, I have one requirement: once you join the Tang Sect, you are a member for life. If you ever want to leave, you must return all the secrets of the Tang Sect."
"I understand, Master Tang Ya," Wang Dong nodded seriously.
Upon hearing the title "Master Tang Ya," Beibei's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he became even more cautious when looking at Wang Dong.
"Oh, little junior sister, do you want to join the Tang Sect too?" Tang Ya's peripheral vision caught Xiao Xiao, who was busy eating skewers, and she quickly asked.
"Me?" Xiao Xiao looked at Tang Ya in confusion, then turned to Wang Dong beside her, her pretty face blushing.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared at the corner of Tang Ya's mouth as she continued persuading, "Junior sister, once you join the Tang Sect, we'll be a family. If you have any difficulties in practicing the secrets of the Tang Sect, I can have Wang Dong teach you personally."
"A family, teaching personally," Xiao Xiao's eyes glazed over at the words, her face becoming increasingly rosy.

"Okay, I want to join the Tang Sect!" Xiao Xiao couldn't resist the temptation of the beauty's plan and finally nodded in agreement.
"That's great! Beibei, did you see? The scale of our Tang Sect has expanded to four people!" Tang Ya exclaimed happily, almost jumping up.
However, she squinted her eyes afterward and smiled at Huo Yuhao, "Little Yuhao, our Tang Sect has greatly increased in strength now. Do you want to..."
"Sister Ya, I really don't have any intention of joining any sect or power at the moment. After all, I'm an orphan with no one to rely on. Wherever I go, I'll only bring trouble to others."
Huo Yuhao activated his tear glands fiercely with his soul power, his eyes turning red as tears streamed down his face.
Divine King's Technique, Jade Tears Syndrome, activate!
"Yuhao, I didn't expect you to have such pain in your heart. Alright, I won't force you anymore. Let's talk about this later when you've figured things out."
Seeing Huo Yuhao in such a state, Tang Ya naturally didn't push further.
With Tang Ya and Beibei, along with their two new Tang Sect members, they moved their tables and chairs next to Xu Sanshi's table and borrowed Xu Sanshi's roast lamb, starting the Tang Sect's welcoming feast.
Xu Sanshi: Why am I always the one getting bullied?
Late at night, after sending away Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, dark red light flashing in his eyes.
"Fire, ignite!"
Accompanied by Huo Yuhao's soft drink, a dark red flame suddenly surged above his right palm.
At this moment, the Phoenix Evil Fire not only enveloped his palm but also shrouded his entire upper body, like a set of dark red fiery armor.
The temperature inside the room instantly became scorching hot. Huo Yuhao casually picked up a table knife. The silver knife was instantly melted under the Phoenix Evil Fire, turning into liquid.
"Hmm, the power is passable, but now the power of this Phoenix Evil Fire is almost reaching your limit of control. If you continue to cultivate like this, the backlash might come," Yao Lao emerged from his black ring and said.
"In that case, I'll devour it before it devours me!" Huo Yuhao said with a faint smile.
"Here are the Pulse-Protecting Pill and Ice Heart Pill. Remember to take them before you start devouring it," Yao Lao took out two small jade bottles and placed them on the table.
"When you devour the Phoenix Evil Fire, you need to circulate it along the route of the Burning Technique. Flames absorbed from others' bodies cause significant damage as they pass through, so you need the pills to protect your meridians," he explained.
"And this Phoenix Evil Fire is extremely violent and malevolent, which can affect your mind. If your mind is corroded, then devouring it would be impossible. The Ice Heart Pill can protect your mind from its influence, keeping it in a state of clarity and tranquility."
Huo Yuhao nodded, glanced at the two small jade bottles placed in front of him, then closed his eyes and slowly immersed his consciousness into his body.
The soul power in his meridians began to circulate rapidly, while the Phoenix Evil Fire seed in his body was forcibly separated from his soul power.
Then, a surging pale yellow soul power surged out and firmly enveloped the Phoenix Evil Fire. Under Huo Yuhao's mental control, the fire started to circulate along the meridian route of the Burning Technique.
At this moment, the fire seed of the Phoenix Evil Fire instinctively felt the crisis and began to madly impact the soul power prison set by Huo Yuhao. Under the burning of the evil fire, Huo Yuhao's meridians also felt intense burning pain, causing sweat to instantly pour down his forehead.
"Take the pills!" Yao Lao said with a stern voice.
Hearing Elder Medicine's words, Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate. He picked up the two small jade bottles and swallowed the two fragrant pills.
The moment the pills entered his stomach, they turned into a warm and gentle stream, quickly wrapping around all the meridians required for practicing the Burning Technique.
Huo Yuhao also felt a slight chill in his consciousness, which didn't cause him pain but made his mind extremely clear and comfortable.
With the protection of the pills on his meridians and consciousness, Huo Yuhao immediately exerted all his strength to drive the soul power enveloping the Phoenix Evil Fire to circulate frantically within his meridians.
As the soul power enveloping the evil fire circulated along the meridian route of the Burning Technique, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power suddenly sensed a strange fusion between a strand of soul power and the evil fire.
No, rather than fusion, it should be said that the Phoenix Evil Fire was gradually being devoured by Huo Yuhao's Burning Technique soul power.
After another three revolutions, the Burning Technique soul power inside Huo Yuhao's body had completely fused with the Phoenix Evil Fire. His original pale yellow soul power had now turned into a pitch-black color, with faint black flames burning on it.
Finally, the now-black soul power burst out of the last meridian, completing a perfect cycle within his body, and gathered towards Huo Yuhao's eyes.
Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly opened, and two substantial black-golden flames spewed out from his Flame God's Eyes. The fluctuations of soul power on his body also suddenly soared.
"I didn't expect that, by a fortunate coincidence, you actually broke through to the nineteenth-level soul power. However, the color of this fire has changed, which is quite strange," Yao Lao said in surprise.
"No, this is the true appearance of the Phoenix Evil Fire, or rather, the Dark Phoenix's original fire. Ma Xiaotao feared the power of her own martial soul and was unwilling to merge the dark attribute inherent in her martial soul with herself, which led to the backlash," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
"I see." Yao Lao shook his head helplessly, then quickly asked, "Did the Burning Technique evolve? What level is it now?"
Looking at Yao Lao's hopeful face, excitement flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he joyfully said, "Yellow Intermediate Rank!"
