Initially, Tang San's expression was as calm as still water, but as time passed, the furrow in his brow deepened. The agreed-upon time with the stewards had passed by several hours, and he still hadn't seen any Tang Sect disciples. If one group had been surrounded and wiped out, that would be understandable, but hundreds of disciples disappearing collectively left Tang San completely bewildered.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Several more hours passed until deep into the night before Tang San finally waited for his subordinates.
"S-Sect Master, something terrible has happened. The stewards and most of the others have been completely wiped out. The few who are left are hiding in the deep mountains, afraid to show themselves. They sent me to inform the Sect Master."
"Explain clearly, what exactly happened?"
Tang San's brows furrowed tightly, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.
The Tang Sect disciple seemed very afraid of Tang San, their Sect Master, and stammered as they looked up:
"The Evil Extermination Sect, the Evil Extermination Sect made a move. Now they kill any Tang Sect disciple they see, cutting from Star Luo's six roads all the way to Keville East Street without even blinking."
"The Evil Extermination Sect? The sect that was just established a few days ago?"
"That's right, Sect Master, it's them. Steward Duan asked me to tell you that the Evil Extermination Sect is suspected to have more than one Titled Douluo. They suspect Spirit Hall has interfered in matters here. Please instruct us on what our next move should be."
"Spirit Hall?"
Tang San's eyes were icy cold, filled with killing intent. His fists clenched, making a series of sounds that terrified the Tang Sect disciple beside him, making them afraid to even breathe heavily, fearing they would anger the Tang Sect Master before them.
After his anger subsided, Tang San quickly adjusted his mood and recovered, a cold smile appearing in his eyes.
"It seems the Heaven Dou Empire has indeed sided with Spirit Hall. And the blame that was placed on me was likely also arranged by Spirit Hall. What a clever tactic."
"You go back and inform Steward Duan to endure for a while. Wait until I act in the Heaven Dou Empire to attract their attention, then make further arrangements."
"Yes, Sect Master."
Receiving the reply, the Tang Sect disciple let out a slight sigh of relief. They were truly afraid that Tang San would blame them for not handling the matter properly and lose their life. They had personally witnessed Tang San using his Martial Soul to absorb nutrients and Soul Power from human bodies, and were afraid of meeting the same fate.
After the Tang Sect disciple left, Tang San walked out of the small courtyard, took a deep look at the Star Luo land, and then left without looking back, heading in the direction of the Heaven Dou Empire.
As for Steward Duan, who the two of them mentioned, he would never receive Tang San's orders again. A Bao shook the blood from its hands and showed what it thought was a kind smile towards the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around its arm.
"Thank you, Sister Ah Yin. We've found those evil people and dealt with them."
The Blue Silver Grass subtly lifted and emitted bursts of light, as if responding to A Bao's words. Then the light gradually dimmed, and the Blue Silver Grass detached from A Bao's arm and rooted itself in the soil below, as if it were just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, nothing more.
Watching this scene, A Bao clicked its tongue towards Er Ming behind it and sighed:
"Sister Ah Yin's ability is really useful. Without her, we might have had to search this broken mountain valley for months."
Stepping on the neck of the last Tang Sect disciple, Er Ming also turned back and nodded towards A Bao.
"Indeed, who would willingly come to this godforsaken place? If we waited too long, this group of evil people would come out and cause trouble again."
"Alright, the matter is settled. Let's go back."
"Okay."
The two muscular men waved to some Evil Extermination Sect disciples, and dozens of people rushed towards Star Luo City simultaneously.
Meanwhile, in the headquarters of the Evil Extermination Sect, a woman with light blue long hair gradually retracted the light around her and opened her eyes.
"Benefactor, those Tang Sect disciples have been dealt with."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sister Ah Yin."
Seeing Ning Bei thank her, Ah Yin showed a kind smile.
"You're welcome. I didn't want those people to continue existing and harming the continent either."
The Silver Dragon King, seated not far away, glanced at Ning Bei with her purple eyes, as if completely unsurprised by the Blue Silver Emperor's unique ability.
"They should no longer be able to gain a foothold in the Star Luo territory, right? What should we do next?"
Ning Bei was momentarily stunned, not having decided how to target Tang God King next. Just as the atmosphere fell into silence, Ah Yin's red lips parted beside them, attracting their attention.
"Benefactor, and Master, that Tang San has already left the Star Luo territory. Just now."
"Oh? Did he go to the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Ning Bei raised an eyebrow. It seemed the other party had already realized that the Tang Sect's influence in the Star Luo territory was finished. Now, he was probably planning to stir up trouble in the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Yes, he is heading towards Heaven Dou City. I will continue to monitor his movements."
Ah Yin nodded, indicating that Ning Bei was correct, and watched him, waiting for the next arrangement.
"You don't need to keep staring. I think the other party will most likely go find Tang Yuehua first. We have informants there."
"Then, back to Heaven Dou?"
"Yes, let's open a branch of the Evil Extermination Sect in Heaven Dou City. We'll leave a few people here to hold the fort. I want to see how he develops his forces in the end."
Ning Bei nodded, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. Tang San, aren't you focused on developing the Tang Sect because of the God Test? I won't let you have your way.
As for the specific plan, it wouldn't be too late to adapt based on Tang San's actions when the time came.
"Let's go."
"Okay."
The Silver Dragon King had no objection. She had visited Star Luo City many times, and in her opinion, places with people were all pretty much the same. Power and desire were always the main themes. Since she had nothing else to do, she would just follow wherever Ning Bei went.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if she could lure away the Emperor Auspicious Beast, but the little guy was still ignoring her, which made Big Mother Dragon quite depressed for a while.
The next day, after instructing Da Ming and A Zhu to remain in Star Luo for a period, Ning Bei took his other Soul Beast companions and left Star Luo City, heading back towards Heaven Dou.
Along the way, Ah Yin's words once again confirmed Ning Bei's belief that Tang San's destination was indeed Heaven Dou City. It seemed that even the Tang God King, who had become so sinister, still had people he cared about in his heart.
Whether it was Tang Yuehua or the Golden Iron Triangle, all these people resided in Heaven Dou City. He just didn't know if Tang San was simply missing them and returning for a visit, or if he was seeking some kind of help.
Ning Bei and the Big Mother Dragon were clearly on a different level of strength than Tang San, significantly stronger. Tang San, who had left before them, didn't arrive in Heaven Dou City any earlier than the two of them. Upon returning to the Sect, Ning Bei went directly to the Council Hall to find Ning Fengzhi.
"Father, we might need your help to expand the Evil Extermination Sect's influence throughout the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Oh? Has the Tang Sect developed to the point of reaching the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"Hmm, that's not quite accurate. It's more like they've been forced into the Heaven Dou Empire."
After all, the establishment of the Evil Extermination Sect also relied on the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Fengzhi had clearly received the news from Star Luo and wasn't surprised by this.
