Yin Zhang smiled faintly and stepped forward, looking at Chi Yan. He then withdrew his Martial Soul and spirit rings before summoning his second Martial Soul—the Golden Sacred Dragon.
"Roar—!"
The golden holy dragon circled closely around Yin Zhang, radiating an intimate, obedient aura.
This time, it was Zhang Wei and the others who were completely stunned.
A second Martial Soul?!
What in the world was going on?!
And judging by its appearance, it was an external Martial Soul—just like Yu Xiaogang's?
After witnessing Yin Zhang summon his second Martial Soul up close, Zhang Wei felt as though his worldview had been shattered.
Twin Martial Souls?
Why hadn't you mentioned this seven years ago when you were still at Nuoding Academy?!
Are you deliberately messing with me now?!
Tang San was even more shocked.
Didn't Teacher say that I was only the third person in recorded history to possess twin Martial Souls?
The first such person had no experience to rely on and tried to add spirit rings to both Martial Souls at the same time—resulting in their body exploding and their death.
The second was Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's possession of twin Martial Souls was not a secret to those at the highest levels. However, she had kept her true strength well hidden over the years, causing many people to subconsciously forget this fact.
Yu Xiaogang, as her former lover, naturally remembered it clearly.
Later, even after learning that Tang San was Tang Hao's son, Yu Xiaogang still went to Bibi Dong to ask for the method of cultivating twin Martial Souls—something that could only be described as disgusting.
When Chi Yan saw Yin Zhang's twin Martial Souls, he was clearly shaken.
But it didn't change the cold hostility in his eyes.
Finding the situation tedious, Yin Zhang stepped forward and injected soul power directly into Chi Yan's meridians, sealing off the circulation of his soul power.
"Heh—die!" Blazing Flame tried to struggle, but it was completely futile.
"Golden Holy Dragon, bind him and take him away," Yin Zhang said calmly, pointing at Blazing Flame.
The golden holy dragon nodded and flew forward, wrapping its body tightly around Blazing Flame.
Zhang Wei stared longingly at the golden holy dragon as it floated in midair, its golden flames blazing brilliantly.
Yin Zhang, however, had no intention of leaving just yet.
Although he planned to take Blazing Flame away to absorb the spirit ring, the thought that Xiao Wu might use this opportunity to escape still bothered him.
He wasn't afraid of her running—but he was wary of unexpected variables.
Yin Zhang frowned slightly and turned his gaze toward Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, I can only apologize," he murmured. "Who told you to be a Spirit Beast? For Spirit Masters, killing Spirit Beasts is only natural."
Hu Liena heard him clearly. She smiled faintly and followed behind Yin Zhang.
As one of Yin Zhang's most devoted admirers, she enjoyed being by his side. The stronger Yin Zhang became, the happier she felt.
Zhang Wei watched Yin Zhang walk toward Tang San and Xiao Wu, confusion evident on his face.
"Xiao Zhang, what are you planning to do to Tang San and Xiao Wu?" Zhang Wei asked.
But Yin Zhang wasn't paying attention to him. Instead, he spoke softly, almost to himself:
"Tang San… Tang San… If I don't kill you now, I'll kill you later."
His voice was extremely quiet—so quiet that it seemed no one else heard it.
Yet Tang San felt an inexplicable chill run through his body.
His thoughts raced wildly.
Had his identity as a twin Martial Soul possessor been discovered?
Yin Zhang ignored Tang San entirely and focused his gaze on Xiao Wu.
"Little rabbit," he said calmly, "what about you? What's your choice? Will you be killed by me like Blazing Flame—or will you be sacrificed to me and resurrected after I become a god?"
Hearing the words she feared most, Xiao Wu's face turned deathly pale.
"What… what are you saying? I don't understand you!"
"Hehe, you don't understand?" Yin Zhang smiled faintly. "Then let me put it more clearly."
"Xiao Wu, aren't you a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit from the Star Dou Great Forest? After your mother was killed, you transformed into human form and came to the human world to hide. Your plan was to grow stronger and eventually take revenge."
With each word, Xiao Wu's heart sank further.
"Hehe," Yin Zhang continued lightly, "you're finished now. Make your choice. If you don't choose, I'll choose for you—"
Before he could finish, Tang San suddenly stood up from the bench, something concealed in his sleeve.
"Yin Zhang!" Tang San shouted angrily. "I remember now! You're Yin Zhang from Holy Soul Village! Don't think that just because you came back from the Spirit Hall you can act superior! Back then, if Grandpa Jack hadn't taken you in, would you be where you are today?!"
Yin Zhang's eyes instantly turned icy.
"You think you're qualified to mention Grandpa Jack to me?"
In the past, Old Jack had helped Tang San for years before Tang San awakened his Martial Soul.
Later, Tang San went to Nuoding City, then into the wider world—and never once returned to visit Old Jack.
And now he dared to use Grandpa Jack's name as moral leverage?
Yin Zhang sneered.
"Hahaha! Tang San, I know you. Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, innate full spirit power—what a 'genius,' right?"
Yin Zhang had no intention of killing Tang San at this moment.
Tang Hao was still lurking somewhere in the shadows.
If Tang San were killed, Tang Hao's fury might be vented on innocents.
Holy Soul Village and the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch would likely be reduced to rubble by that hammer.
That was not what Yin Zhang wanted.
But that didn't mean he would let Tang San off easily.
A piercing pain struck Tang San's mind.
He cried out, unable to open his eyes, and fell to one knee.
Yin Zhang's cold gaze directly injured Tang San's spirit.
Tang San was horrified.
He had already cultivated the Purple Demon Eye to the peak of the first stage, even approaching the second.
And yet—just one look from this man had caused mental damage?
Could Yin Zhang also cultivate a similar technique?
Yin Zhang didn't care what Tang San was thinking.
He turned back to Xiao Wu and said gently:
"Xiao Wu, make your choice."
Xiao Wu remained silent.
Yin Zhang smiled and decided to push her further.
"Xiao Wu, do you know this?" he said. "I know exactly who killed your mother and absorbed her spirit ring and spirit bone."
"And what's more—they're in the Spirit Hall. They hold tremendous power."
At those words, Xiao Wu abruptly raised her head, her fear instantly replaced by fury.
"You know who it was? And they're from the Spirit Hall?!"
Yin Zhang chuckled.
"That's right. From my Spirit Hall—the very Spirit Hall that gives you your monthly Golden Soul Coin stipend."
"It was Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall."
"Back then, she entered the Star Dou Great Forest with two Titled Douluos. With the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape absent, she killed your mother and absorbed her spirit ring and spirit bone."
"Perhaps out of pity—or for some other reason—she let you escape."
"Hahaha!"
