A foul-smelling blood pool.
A dark red throne.
The Slaughter King, clad in a blood-colored cloak, sat on the throne, filled with regret.
How could he have given his sword to Tang San!
Tang Chen had never managed to shake off the parasitic influence of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King. Once the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's injuries recovered, it began to affect Tang Chen's mind once more.
However, Tang Chen's recovered memories interfered.
This resulted in Tang Chen not being the clear-headed Tang Chen, nor the original Slaughter King. Instead, he became the selfish, insatiably lustful Tang Chen, influenced by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King!
"I shouldn't have given him the sword. That was the symbol of the Slaughter King! To wield the Asura Divine Sword was to wield absolute power!"
"How could I have given him the sword?"
Tang Chen was filled with remorse.
The Tang Chen whose mind was still clear retained human emotions. He thought about passing the Asura Divine Sword to Tang San, and he remembered Bo Saixi and the Clear Sky Sect.
But Tang Chen, who had been re-parasitized...
He only thought about satisfying his own desires!
Being unscrupulous, disregarding human ethics, and being despicable and insidious... these were not enough to describe Tang Chen.
To put it plainly, he was merely a vessel for the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
He was a beast.
He could no longer be treated as a human.
Tang Chen was still regretting his actions, but the black-veiled woman in the shadows stepped forward and leaned close to Tang Chen's ear, whispering a report.
Tang Chen suddenly burst into laughter, "Quickly go and bring my good grandson here!"
The black-veiled woman was about to leave.
But Tang Chen grabbed her and pulled her onto his lap. He slapped her perky buttocks heavily and gasped, "Someone else can go..."
The black-veiled woman was flustered and said coquettishly, "Oh, the God of Slaughter will be here soon..."
Tang Chen let out a strange laugh.
"It's fine, I'll be quick."
Immediately after, the sound of clothes being torn open was heard, and the black-veiled woman let out a startled cry.
...
Tang San returned to Slaughter City.
Under the guidance of an envoy, he walked towards the Slaughter King's palace.
His mood was no longer as cheerful as it had been initially.
Instead, he felt a bit nervous.
After all, Tang San wasn't foolish. He had heard Tang Chen say before that he didn't have much time left to maintain his sanity and would soon be consumed by desire.
But precisely because of this.
Tang San felt even more compelled to come to Slaughter City.
It was because he believed the Slaughter King's greed would not allow him to miss this opportunity.
He stepped over the blood pool.
Tang San saw his great-grandfather again.
Tang Chen, wearing his blood-colored cloak, stood on a high platform. He opened his arms to Tang San, a exaggerated smile on his face, and said excitedly, "My dear great-grandson, welcome back!"
"Slaughter City will always be your home!"
Tang Chen sized up Tang San. When he noticed that his cheap great-grandson wasn't carrying the Asura Divine Sword, his brow furrowed slightly, but he quickly concealed it.
Tang Chen quickly walked down and affectionately patted Tang San's shoulder.
"Xiao San, tell your great-grandfather, how have you been outside these past few days?"
"By the way, is the Asura Divine Sword your great-grandfather gave you useful?"
Tang San's lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.
He turned his head away, his face filled with shame.
Tang Chen's voice suddenly deepened, like a terrifying monster.
"What, has someone dared to bully my great-grandson?"
Tang San said shamefully:
"Great-grandfather, the Asura Divine Sword is gone!"
"What!" Tang Chen exploded in rage. "The Asura Divine Sword is something so important. The fact that I entrusted it to you means I hoped you would keep it safe!"
"And yet you tell me it's lost?!"
Tang Chen acted as if his own sword had been stolen.
The anger in his eyes seemed capable of killing.
Tang San didn't notice anything unusual. Instead, he found the reaction normal. He organized his thoughts and began to recount the events of the past few days.
Lin Xiao is definitely the Ghost Face Flame Monarch!
And it was Lin Xiao who forcefully took the Asura Divine Sword from my grasp!
A venomous glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, and he added with even more hatred:
"Furthermore, I suspect Lin Xiao also possesses the Asura God's Trial!"
"He can actually use the Asura Divine Sword!"
Tang Chen's blood-red eyes flickered uncertainly.
"Impossible!"
"Being able to use the Asura Divine Sword doesn't necessarily mean one possesses the Asura God's Trial!"
Tang San was pleasantly surprised by this.
"Great-grandfather, is there some special method?"
Tang Chen was momentarily speechless and couldn't answer.
He changed the subject:
"Xiao San, you came to find me, are you perhaps wanting me to help you retrieve the Asura Divine Sword?"
Tang San nodded emphatically.
"That's right. If Great-grandfather makes a move, Lin Xiao will undoubtedly be like a grasshopper in autumn, unable to hop for long!"
Tang Chen, however, was hesitating.
In this Slaughter City, he was the undisputed king, because this was a "forbidden zone" where even Titled Douluo couldn't use their Soul Skills!
Once he left, although he could enjoy more and live a more extravagant life, he would also face the risk of being hunted down.
Most importantly, Slaughter City cannot emerge into the world. This is an unwritten rule, a tacit understanding between the Spirit Hall and Slaughter City.
"Is Great-grandfather worried about the Spirit Hall?"
Seeing the hesitation flash across Tang Chen's face, Tang San immediately understood.
He spoke with an incredibly inspiring tone, trying to rouse him:
"How can the Spirit Hall possibly restrain Great-grandfather?"
"Has Great-grandfather forgotten? You are the ancestor of the Clear Sky Sect, the previous generation's sect master, the once invincible Tang Chen!"
"As long as Great-grandfather returns to the Clear Sky Sect to take charge, and merges the Clear Sky Sect with Slaughter City, it will be a super force no less than the Spirit Hall! It can advance to attack and retreat to defend! At worst, we can return to Slaughter City later!"
Tang San recalled the news he had received from Tang Yuehua.
"Moreover, the Clear Sky Sect now has as many as six Titled Douluo!"
"Great-grandfather, are you really willing to give that up?"
Tang San curled his lips, trying to tempt him:
"I have a good brother outside, who is the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire. He has promised that as long as Great-grandfather is willing to support him, Great-grandfather can establish a base in the Star Luo Empire in the future."
"He is even willing to take Great-grandfather as the Imperial Tutor..."
Tang Chen had already recovered his memories by this point.
He naturally knew what this meant. It meant that Slaughter City would no longer be a rat that everyone on the continent wanted to beat, but could occupy a territory of its own to develop.
An irrepressible greed and desire flashed in his eyes.
He wanted greater power, more beautiful women, and to reclaim the Asura Divine Sword!
"Hehehe..."
Tang Chen let out a series of strange laughs.
"Xiao San, your great-grandfather didn't dote on you for nothing!"
"You're right. With my talents, I shouldn't be confined to this small Slaughter City. I should go and obtain more, conquer more!"
"However, this still needs to be planned carefully..."
Tang San stood proudly and said:
"Great-grandfather, I want to introduce someone to you."
"He is my teacher, a renowned master of Martial Soul theory in the outside world, and the most learned and talented person I have ever met!"
"His wisdom far exceeds your imagination!"
Immense power combined with ultimate wisdom.
Lin Xiao, your good days are over!
