Back then, when Tang Hao challenged the Hell Road, the King of Slaughter chose to intervene.
As for the result…
The fact that Tang Hao could still be standing here already explained everything.
"Enough!" the King of Slaughter shouted sternly. "You came to my City of Slaughter—what exactly do you want?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Tang Hao said matter-of-factly. "Of course it's to let my son obtain the Slaughter God Domain. Otherwise, did you think we came here to reminisce with you?"
The King of Slaughter had already expected this and instead retracted his flame armor.
He nodded and said—
"Fine."
"For the next few days, as long as you can still fight, I will arrange opponents for you."
"Once you achieve 100 consecutive victories, I will personally open the Hell Road and send you out of the City of Slaughter."
"During this period, you are not allowed to do anything else unnecessary."
"Deal?"
Unexpectedly "easy to talk to."
But this also indirectly proved that the King of Slaughter was merely someone who looked fierce on the outside but was actually weak within.
Since the other side was already being so considerate, how could Tang Lan not play along?
He took out the immortal herb Earth Dragon Golden Gourd.
When feeding the Ironback Dragon, only one-tenth of it had been consumed.
"This item is the immortal herb Earth Dragon Golden Gourd."
Tang Lan introduced it—
"So-called immortal herbs are divine-grade medicinal plants that absorb the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon."
"This Earth Dragon Golden Gourd possesses the ability of an earth dragon turning over. After use, in addition to controlling the power of the earth, it also has the effect of strengthening the body."
"I hope to use it in exchange for the King of Slaughter helping me with a small favor."
Although the King of Slaughter forced himself to remain calm, his eyes were fixed firmly on the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd.
The instincts of a soul beast made it impossible for him to refuse.
Moreover—
Although this body was that of a Level 99 Ultimate Douluo, decades of corrosion had already left it riddled with holes.
Before encountering something more suitable, it still needed proper maintenance.
However—
"How can I be sure that what you're saying is true?" the King of Slaughter questioned. "The commotion you've caused these past two days hasn't been small!"
The implication was—
He suspected Tang Lan was fooling people again.
Tang Lan smiled without speaking and tossed out the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd.
The King of Slaughter caught it steadily.
After personally sensing it and confirming that the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd was real, his heart settled.
"What favor?" the King of Slaughter restrained himself and said. "As long as it doesn't involve the foundations of the City of Slaughter, I can consider it."
"It's very simple," Tang Lan said with a smile. "You should know that my father is feeding the Dark Devilgod Tiger, right?"
The King of Slaughter nodded, having already guessed something.
"That's right, exactly what you're thinking."
Tang Lan affirmed—
"After I leave, I ask that you help me feed this Dark Devilgod Tiger and evolve its age as much as possible."
"In about a year or so, I will return to take it away."
"As compensation, this Earth Dragon Golden Gourd is only part of it."
"When I come back to retrieve the Dark Devilgod Tiger, I will, based on how much its age has evolved, pay up to one more immortal herb suitable for you."
"How about it?"
Feeding the Dark Devilgod Tiger?
Wasn't that simple?
The City of Slaughter lacked nothing else—except it had plenty of soul masters!
"No problem," the King of Slaughter agreed immediately. "From now on, the soul master corpses produced by the City of Slaughter will all become its food."
The reason he agreed so readily, even temporarily giving up feeding the Blood River,
Was to tell Tang Lan—
Remember to bring immortal herbs next time.
"Happy cooperation."
Tang Lan extended his hand.
The King of Slaughter had no suspicions and straightforwardly shook Tang Lan's hand.
The deal was struck.
Tang Lan left the palace in a good mood.
Only after they had gone some distance did Tang Hao finally say, unable to hold it in anymore, "Son, feeding the Dark Devilgod Tiger—I can handle that myself. Was there really a need to waste an immortal herb?"
That was an immortal herb!
And it was just handed over to that guy?
A huge loss!
"This isn't to free you up so you can go keep Mom company?" Tang Lan explained.
Tang Hao smacked his lips and clutched his chest.
It still hurt a bit.
But since things had already come to this, he didn't comment further.
Tang Lan smiled mysteriously.
Giving the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd to the King of Slaughter was, of course, not to free Tang Hao.
Rather—
It was to strengthen Tang Chen's physique.
Tang Chen had been parasitized by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King for decades; his body had long been eroded by severe toxins, riddled with holes.
In the original story,
He was awakened by Tang San's Seagod's Light, regained his Level 99 Ultimate Douluo strength,
Then completed the Shura God's Eight Trials and obtained a massive amount of Shura God inheritance power.
The enormous energy overwhelmed him, causing his body to collapse on the spot.
After seeing Bo Saixi once, he died.
Shouldn't the ancestor be properly nourished, so he could continue serving as their backing?
They had just returned to their residence.
When the Slaughter Envoy from earlier arrived, delivering a storage ring.
"This was sent by my master. Please accept it."
Tang Lan took the storage ring and swept it with his spiritual power.
Oh ho!
All corpses.
A whole storage ring full—over a hundred of them.
And all of them were "high-grade goods," at least seven-ring Soul Saints or above.
With the storage ring's "vacuum preservation" function, it was impossible to tell how long they had been dead.
The only thing that could be determined was—
These unfamiliar faces had been stored inside for quite a long time.
Hmm…
Could it be that the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King had some strange hobby?
Tang Lan tossed the storage ring to the Dark Devilgod Tiger.
Then he took out another storage ring and stuffed it into the Slaughter Envoy's hand.
He instructed, "From now on, just deliver these things directly to it."
"Yes! My lord!" the Slaughter Envoy replied respectfully.
"Tomorrow's contestants have already been arranged for you."
"At that time, my lord, you only need to directly kill them."
"Someone will later deliver the corpses to you."
The implication was—
Give the Hell Slaughter Arena some face; stop always "earning extra money" on your own.
Tang Lan was happy to take it easy and nodded in agreement.
"If there's nothing else, then this subordinate will take his leave."
After receiving permission,
The Slaughter Envoy saluted Tang Hao and Tang Lan, then exited the Tang Sect Inn while facing them.
Off to the side, Tang San,
Watching the extremely respectful Slaughter Envoy, his eyes rolled.
"Brother!"
"Did you reach some kind of deal with that King of Slaughter?"
There was nothing to hide, so Tang Lan explained briefly.
Tang San listened, his eyes shining brightly!
Just as he was about to speak—
"Pa!"
Another familiar loud slap. Tang San was smacked onto the floor.
"You brat, stop fantasizing!"
"The King of Slaughter is only arranging opponents."
"But if you want to obtain the title of Slaughter God, you still have to defeat them."
"With your four-ring Soul Ancestor strength, even a random five-ring Soul King would be hard to deal with, let alone a six-ring Soul Emperor or a seven-ring Soul Saint."
"If you want to go die, you can just go sign up yourself."
"No one will stop you!"
Tang San rubbed the back of his head, baring his teeth.
It hurt—and he was angry too!
"Since the King of Slaughter can arrange opponents, why can't he arrange some whose levels are close to mine?"
Tang Hao glared!
You little brat, you really are daydreaming!
Unexpectedly—
