LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 19: Chapter 19
**Chapter 19**
Bibi Dong's words encapsulated the thoughts of the group of soul masters in the cracks of the plane.
They all believed that the rules of the Tang Sect were a bit excessive.
How can one sign a contract to sell oneself just to join a sect? Among all the sects in the Douluo Continent, it seemed only the Tang Sect employed such a rule. Thus, the group of soul masters agreed that this rule was unreasonable.
The only distinction between them and Bibi Dong was that among these soul masters, some may have worshipped Tang San out of fear and thus dared not voice their thoughts.
Others were simply scared and worried about potential retaliation from Tang San, so they remained silent.
Bibi Dong, however, felt no reverence for Tang San and was not afraid of him.
So she freely expressed her opinion.
After witnessing the events unfold on the screen, she sincerely felt that this rule was unfair.
Thus, she had no qualms about speaking out.
With Bibi Dong's words echoing, more doubts from the other soul masters arose.
However, they ultimately didn't dare to question Tang San directly.
Instead, Bei Bei and Tang Ya became their target for questioning.
In this chaotic chat group, a flurry of comments directed at Tang Ya and Bei Bei flooded in.
@Tang Ya @Bei Bei: "Shouldn't you two clarify this matter?"
@Tang Ya @Bei Bei: "Yes! This situation has nothing to do with Master Tang San. It must be your descendants who arbitrarily modified the sect rules. But have you considered how you are tarnishing the reputation of the Tang Sect?"
@Tang Ya @Bei Bei: "No wonder the Tang Sect is in decline. I thought the sect left by Master Tang San had countless and superior inheritances! Why has it lost its former glory? It turns out it's the trouble caused by you descendants! Who would want to join a sect with such rules?"
@Tang Ya @Bei Bei: "That's right! You are just slandering Master Tang San!"
A crowd of soul masters continued to tag Tang Ya and Bei Bei.
Because they trusted Tang San too much or feared offending him, they directed all their blame toward Tang Ya and Bei Bei.
They believed that the Tang Sect's decline resulted from the actions of its descendants.
They had even come up with a way to absolve Tang San of any blame.
But Bei Bei and Tang Ya were also perplexed!
They had thought about this matter as well!
How could they not know that such rules wouldn't work in the current Douluo Continent?
But therein lay the problem—the laws established by their ancestors could not be changed!
It was enshrined in the Tang Sect's ancestral precepts that the rules of the Tang Sect must not be tampered with.
Thus, although Tang Ya and Bei Bei felt troubled by this,
When considering how their ancestors had lived by these principles, they also felt compelled to comply. They couldn't let their ancestors down.
But who would have thought that adhering to the rules would now render them the target of public condemnation?
Who could they turn to for justice?
Be Bei and Tang Ya were unwilling to endure the online harassment.
At that moment, both of them stood up in the chat room to voice their opinions.
"What do you know? This is our Tang Sect's ancestral precept!"
"The ancestral law cannot be changed! Do you think we haven't considered how to better recruit Tang Sect disciples?"
"That's ridiculous! We know!"
"But the rules are simply how they are; what can we do?"
Tang Ya and Bei Bei spoke out to defend themselves.
All the soul masters were stunned upon hearing this.
So, according to their explanation, were the two of them the victims here?
And fundamentally, what they said did make some sense!
With this revelation, everyone began discussing in the chat room again.
They openly displayed their bullying and fear of the strong.
When they had previously questioned Tang Ya and Bei Bei, they were all braver than one another, frantically tagging them.
But now, with Tang Ya and Bei Bei making their stance clear, all they needed to do was point out that this was Tang San's rule.
Yet, no one dared to tag Tang San. Instead, they said in the chat room:
"If that's the case, it's not their fault. Then whose fault is it?"
"It must be the other ancestors of the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect has a history of ten thousand years. How many generations have passed this down? Perhaps a certain generation of Tang Sect leaders was confused and introduced rules like this, and their descendants naively enforced them."
"No, I mean, is it possible that this rule was established by Master Tang San himself?"
"Bullshit! How could Master Tang San do such a thing? Don't throw around baseless accusations, you kid!"
"."
One by one, the soul masters continued to communicate in the chat room.
On the other side, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Tang San's face.
Because this rule had indeed been set by him.
Given Tang San's personality, he wanted to ensure that anyone who joined the Tang Sect had to pay a price.
So, to him, signing a contract to essentially "sell oneself" seemed reasonable.
But he hadn't anticipated things would unfold this way.
Everyone from the Shrek Seven Devils knew about this, especially Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. They had previously tried to reason with Tang San, but he hadn't listened.
So Tang San couldn't blame anyone now.
Still, he ultimately spoke after a brief silence.
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."
"This rule was indeed set by me."
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this: "What? It was set by Master Tang San? This, this isn't right?"
Tang San quickly added, "You don't know; back then, many people lusted after my Tang Sect's unique skills. Countless individuals joined the Tang Sect only to steal our unique arts, preparing to leave with them afterward."
"I did this to protect the sect's unique skills, so this was a last resort; there was no other way."
After hearing this, the soul masters suddenly understood and replied:
"So that's why Master Tang San resorted to such measures; it seems there's a reason behind it."
"In that case, it's understandable."
"Yes. After all, it was to protect the sect's unique skills, which makes sense."
"It seems Tang Ya and Bei Bei were wronged before."
The soul masters continued to chat.
Tang San felt relief wash over him as it seemed the matter was no longer pursued.
But what he didn't expect was that everyone would then shift topics and grow curious about the Tang Sect's unique skills again.
"Speaking of which, I could only read about the unique skills of the Tang Sect in history books before."
"But because of that, I never got to see them in detail."
"However, it seems this time, I might have the opportunity to witness the so-called unique skills of the Tang Sect firsthand!"
The souls of the masters lit up at these words.
After all, according to this trend,
Huo Yuhao in the original world must have joined the Tang Sect.
So wouldn't Tang Ya have to teach Huo Yuhao the unique skills of the Tang Sect? They could seize the chance to see how powerful the Tang Sect's unique skills truly were!
Suddenly, everyone grew immensely curious!
Was this so-called unique skill as magical as described in the history books?
