Tang San emerged from Slaughter City.
Having completed the first seven trials set by the Asura God, his strength had reached the Soul Douluo level. An uncontrollable, immense killing intent radiated from him, making his entire demeanor appear cold and sinister.
He arrived at a nearby city and casually grabbed a passing Soul Ancestor expert, inquiring about major recent events on the Continent.
The Soul Ancestor expert's face was filled with terror. Tang San had seized him as easily as an eagle catching a chick, encountering no resistance. Furthermore, his soul power was suppressed by the killing intent, rendering him completely unable to exert any of his abilities.
"My lord, spare my life!"
"The biggest news shaking the Continent recently is the annihilation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, followed by a fierce battle between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where the Spirit Hall suffered a defeat!"
"Pope Bibi Dong has been sidelined by Great Enshrinement Qian Daoliu due to her moral failings."
"Those are the three major events!"
Tang San's expression changed drastically.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was annihilated?
That meant Yu Xiaogang and Yu Tianheng were truly reduced to stray dogs.
What a shame that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had colluded with Lin Xiao. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should have been the one to be wiped out!
"Bibi Dong is also an idiot. She wants to unify the Continent but doesn't target Lin Xiao. Does she really want to wait for Lin Xiao to grow stronger?"
The Soul Ancestor, pale-faced, pleaded:
"My lord, I've told you everything I know."
"Can you let me go?"
A flicker of violent killing intent flashed in Tang San's eyes. He felt an urge to snap the Soul Master's neck on the spot and drink his blood.
However, he ultimately suppressed this desire.
He knew this was the effect of his prolonged stay in Slaughter City and the influence of the Bloody Mary toxin.
Additionally, participating in the Asura God's Trial and the erosion of the killing aura made it difficult for him to control his own killing intent.
Tang San released the nameless Soul Ancestor, his face grim, and hurried towards the direction of the Star Luo Empire.
The Soul Ancestor, having narrowly escaped death, patted his chest. He looked at Tang San's departing back, still feeling lingering fear.
"This person is truly terrifying."
"If one didn't know better, they'd think some Fallen One had been released."
He felt it was best not to linger in this place and quickly fled in a panic.
...
Three days later.
Tang San arrived at the Star Luo Empire. After some inquiries and gathering of information, he received news that left him utterly horrified.
Yu Tianheng and Oscar had defected!
At first, Tang San didn't believe it.
It wasn't until he continuously sought confirmation that he learned Yu Tianheng had been granted the status of a baron, while Oscar was highly valued by the First Prince's mansion.
Dai Weisi had personally arranged Oscar's marriage and sent him significant gifts frequently. Oscar had even had a child.
Tang San was enraged.
He believed Yu Tianheng and Oscar had betrayed him. Why was there no news of Dai Mubai and Yu Xiaogang, while Yu Tianheng and Oscar were still alive and well in this world?
How could they have the audacity to live? They shouldn't be allowed to survive!
Tang San's expression turned cold. He traveled for two more days and arrived at Star Luo City.
He had to find Yu Tianheng and Oscar in person to question them about their betrayal of Shrek.
At this moment.
Yu Tianheng had just returned to his residence when he suddenly sensed something was amiss. The mansion seemed unusually quiet.
Normally, there would be the sounds of servants talking and walking, but today it was deathly silent. Moreover, he had a strange feeling of being watched, which made him extremely uneasy.
Yu Tianheng immediately went into the main hall to investigate. He discovered servants lying dead on the ground, all killed with a single blow. The perpetrator was extremely vicious.
He was both shocked and furious, but his first thought was to leave the residence.
Now.
As Yu Tianheng turned back, a figure shrouded entirely in black robes blocked his path.
Yu Tianheng's alarm bells went off, and he shouted:
"Who goes there, you scoundrel?"
"Hiding your head and showing your tail. If you have the guts, reveal your true face!"
Upon hearing this.
The black-robed figure blocking Yu Tianheng couldn't help but laugh. The laughter was cold and chilling.
"Heh heh... Yu Tianheng, you don't recognize me?"
Tang San slowly took off his hood, revealing the ordinary yet sinister face beneath.
Yu Tianheng was greatly startled, then angrily questioned, "Tang San, what is the meaning of this?"
"You barge into my home unannounced and slaughter all my servants!"
"What kind of madness has possessed you?"
Tang San was furious at his words.
He hadn't even had a chance to blame Yu Tianheng, and Yu Tianheng was already blaming him.
"Yu Tianheng, how dare you speak to me like that! I ask you, where are Dai Mubai and Grandmaster? And why did you and Oscar cling to life?"
Yu Tianheng let out a cold laugh.
Since when was simply being alive a crime?
It seemed his old classmate Tang San truly didn't want to see him alive.
Indeed, like father, like son, or rather, like teacher, like student. Yu Xiaogang could abandon him and Oscar to fend for themselves just to save his own skin.
And Tang San was even more selfish and self-centered. He had escaped back then, but what about them who were captured?
When Tang San returned, he would still have to face his condescending moral judgment.
Yu Tianheng had seen through Tang San!
This guy's talk of righteousness, morality, and brotherhood was all bullshit; in reality, all he cared about was his own comfort!
He treated you as a brother when you were useful, and as a beast when you were not.
"What right do you have to say that Oscar and I clung to life? You ran away carefree, but do you know how Oscar and I survived during this time?"
"You don't mention the annihilation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and my survival makes you unhappy? You casually slaughtered all the servants in my mansion, and now you even want to take my life?"
Yu Tianheng's eyes blazed, and he roared, "You just want to kill me, don't you?"
"If you want to see me beg for mercy, then fuck no! All 1,800+ people in my clan are dead, what the hell am I afraid of?"
Yu Tianheng's spittle was almost flying onto Tang San's face.
Tang San's face turned a mixture of green and white.
He was clearly infuriated.
His eyes flickered with murderous intent several times, but he ultimately hesitated and restrained himself.
Tang San glared fiercely, grabbed his collar, and said, "Why should I care if your entire Blue Tyrant Clan is wiped out! I warn you, I don't care if Dai Mubai is dead, but if anything happens to Grandmaster, I'll have you and Oscar buried with him!"
Yu Tianheng simply stared coldly at Tang San.
Even though he knew Grandmaster was alive and had even been rescued by Spirit Hall, he refused to tell Tang San.
He wanted to see just how selfish the other party could be.
It was truly a case of teacher and student. Yu Xiaogang could abandon his students and nephew without hesitation, solely focused on his own survival.
Back then, for the sake of his reputation, he had left without a word, delaying Liu Erlong for twenty years.
The teacher and student were exactly the same.
Their mouths were full of high-sounding principles, but when you dug beneath the surface, it was all hidden schemes and calculations.
Both were scourges!
