In the back mountain of Slaughter Town!
Tang San and Hu Liena lay on the ground, their faces pale, unconscious. Either their injuries were extremely severe, or they had exhausted too much energy.
After they broke out of Hell Road, the terrifying killing intent they had accumulated in the Slaughter Arena had already materialized into a domain and was stored within their martial souls.
However, the deadly poison that had penetrated deep into their limbs, organs, and bones would not disappear for no reason. For a long time to come, it would continue to torment them, making them long to return to the City of Slaughter.
A moment later, Tang Hao appeared. He took Tang San away but did not kill Hu Liena, because he sensed Bibi Dong's presence. Not wanting to fight her at that moment, he left with Tang San. Only after he departed did Bibi Dong appear. Her expression was calm; she did not come out to fight Tang Hao to the death, despite him being the enemy who killed her teacher.
In fact, Tang Hao had done her a great favor. Only in front of outsiders would Bibi Dong act as if she would not rest until she avenged this grudge.
Picking up Hu Liena and looking at her pale face, a trace of pity appeared on Bibi Dong's face. She sighed and said:
"You child, you came to the City of Slaughter to train in order to take revenge on Wang Li. But during your time there, Wang Li has already grown to an extremely terrifying level."
"Although he has not appeared for over a year, judging from his performance a year ago, he is very likely in seclusion trying to break through to the seven-ring Soul Saint realm."
"With such talent, even I am shocked. If not for the forces behind him, I would have already sent Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to capture him."
For Bibi Dong, the reason she had tolerated Wang Li all this time was not only because of Dugu Bo, but also Qian Renxue.
A genius who, as a Soul Emperor, could fight a Soul Douluo,once he reached Soul Saint, he might even be able to contend with a titled Douluo.
Bibi Dong, who had raised Hu Liena like her own daughter, could already imagine that once Hu Liena learned this information, she would be utterly devastated.
Sighing again, Bibi Dong carried Hu Liena and flew into the air. In any case, returning to Spirit City to heal Hu Liena's injuries and deal with the aftereffects was the priority.
…
On the other side!
Tang Hao took Tang San away but did not go very far. He found a nearby mountain range, gathered firewood, lit a campfire, and waited for Tang San to wake up.
At this time, Tang Hao's expression was grim. After he had sent Tang San into the City of Slaughter, he had returned to the waterfall valley to accompany Ah Yin.
However, he discovered that the Blue Silver Grass Ah Yin had transformed into had not only nearly stopped growing, but was even showing signs of regression.
This made him extremely anxious and restless, yet he had no solution and did not even know the cause.
After enduring until now, Tang Hao looked at Tang San, trying to find traces of Ah Yin on his face,but he could not. Whether it was his facial features or hair color, there was not the slightest resemblance.
By evening, Tang San finally woke up. Struggling to sit up, he immediately saw Tang Hao. Despite the intense pain throughout his body, he exclaimed with joy:
"Dad!"
Tang Hao nodded and said:
"Not bad. You successfully made it out of the City of Slaughter and obtained the Killing God Domain. From now on, you can begin training with the Clear Sky Hammer and attach spirit rings. When your body can no longer endure it, we will return to the City of Slaughter."
"The City of Slaughter is a place of divine inheritance. The Killing God Domain is recognition from the gods. As for how to truly gain the favor of the gods, I do not know."
"But there is someone who definitely does,the King of Slaughter. If in the future he tells us truthfully, we may spare his life. Otherwise, we will kill him and directly search within the City of Slaughter for a way to gain the favor of the gods."
After hearing Tang Hao's plan, Tang San felt extremely excited. Only those above level 100 could become gods. If he gained the favor of the gods, he could rise rapidly.
He then said eagerly:
"Dad, once I recover from my injuries, we'll go attach spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer!"
However, Tang Hao did not immediately agree. Looking at Tang San's still blood-red eyes, the tangible cold killing intent, and the sinister aura, he knew that walking the continent like this would not be acceptable.
He shook his head and said:
"The first thing you need to do now is not to attach spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer. It is to restrain your killing intent and learn to think normally, instead of maintaining the mindset of the City of Slaughter."
Tang San was puzzled. He felt he was perfectly normal, but since this was Tang Hao's instruction, he believed it must be for his own good.
"Dad, what should I do then?"
Tang Hao looked up at the sky and said:
"Rest today. Tomorrow we will set out for Heaven Dou City. You will spend half a year to a year there, learning to hide your killing intent. Then, by attaching ten-thousand-year spirit rings, you will quickly advance to the level of Soul Emperor, or even Soul Saint."
Tang San nodded. In his heart, he thought:
"Xiao Wu, wait for me one more year. The next time I go to the Star Dou Forest to hunt spirit beasts, I will be able to take you away. You must be very lonely in the forest. Your brother will come to keep you company."
…
Waterfall Valley!
After leaving the far northern lands, Wang Li came straight here. This time he came in person. Originally, he thought that even if Tang Hao and Tang San were both here, he could suppress them with one hand.
But there was no one here, so he did not hold back. Entering the cave behind the waterfall, he arrived before the Blue Silver Emperor.
Looking at the Blue Silver Emperor, whose golden veins had almost completely faded, Wang Li said:
"It seems the degeneration is quite severe. Even the soul origin appears incomplete."
Then, he summoned his martial soul and used his second soul skill. Extending his right hand in front of the Blue Silver Emperor, it immediately wrapped around his hand.
As Wang Li's life force entered the Blue Silver Emperor's body, its previously withered leaves and branches began to grow rapidly at a visible rate.
A blue light slowly spread, and all the Blue Silver Grass within the cave benefited from it, swaying and rejoicing.
Moments later, above the Blue Silver Emperor, within the blue light, a phantom gradually formed.
It was the figure of a woman,tall, with graceful curves, wearing a blue gauze-like dress. As it moved, her fair skin was faintly visible beneath it.
Her face was gentle, her long blue hair flowing, giving her a pure and natural beauty that inspired tenderness.
At that moment, she opened her eyes,confused, curious, innocent, and joyful.
Upon seeing Wang Li, her beautiful eyes widened. She immediately knelt down and rubbed her head against his hand affectionately, speaking in a pleasing tone:
"My emperor…"
Wang Li remained calm. In his mind, he thought:
"The soul is severely damaged, with much of its memory lost. But it is still usable and can be cultivated further."
