Within the Emperor Team.
After a long silence, Tang San could only say one sentence:
"Rumors stop with the wise."
But with Tang San's personality, letting Yu Xiaogang go without retaliation was impossible.
In a short while, Tang San had already thought of over a hundred ways to make Yu Xiaogang suffer a fate worse than death.
He had even planned how to force Yu Xiaogang to reveal the truth before killing him.
"Don't worry, Tang San. My clan has already sent people to Heaven Dou City. Yu Xiaogang won't escape."
Yu Tianheng patted Tang San's shoulder to comfort him.
For a traitor of the clan, Yu Tianheng could only abandon personal feelings and deal with Yu Xiaogang with thunderous methods.
"Then… do you know where Yu Xiaogang is?"
Tang San suddenly asked curiously.
"No. Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan searched all over Heaven Dou City and still couldn't find him."
"We from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan couldn't find him either."
After Yu Tianheng and Ning Rongrong spoke, everyone else also shook their heads.
"That guy Yu Xiaogang is hiding too well. It's like he vanished inside Heaven Dou City."
Qin Ming looked gloomy. He had even secretly gone to Lanba Academy to ask Zhao Wuji, but received no answers.
Lanba Academy was supported by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
If even they had no clues…
Then Yu Xiaogang was truly nowhere to be found.
"Even Spirit Hall has placed a bounty on Yu Xiaogang, but he still hasn't been found."
Qin Ming sighed helplessly. If even the continent's most powerful organization couldn't locate him, then finding him would be extremely difficult.
After Qin Ming spoke, the entire Emperor Team fell silent.
After a while, Tang San smiled and told everyone to continue cultivating. Only then did the matter temporarily pass.
As the team members returned to their training, Tang San's expression remained calm—but his heart had grown darker.
"Tang San, where do you think that guy is hiding?"
Tang Ni asked curiously.
She could see threads of fate.
Tang San's fortune clearly hadn't been affected much, so she became curious about how Yu Xiaogang's fate would change.
"Sister Tang Ni, I'll handle this matter myself. You don't need to worry."
Tang San replied with a smile, saying nothing more.
Tang Ni then returned to her cultivation.
"Third Brother, what are you planning to do?"
Xiao Wu still looked worried.
"Actually, if you reveal that you have twin martial souls, wouldn't Yu Xiaogang's theory collapse immediately?"
"That's one way," Tang San said softly while patting her shoulder.
"But my Clear Sky Hammer cannot be exposed."
"Don't worry. Yu Xiaogang won't escape."
Pretending to be relaxed, Tang San brought Xiao Wu to the academy's back mountain to cultivate.
Tang San sat on a field of Blue Silver Grass on the back mountain and began cultivating with the Xuantian Technique.
However, in his mind, he had already started thinking about how to locate Yu Xiaogang.
In the next moment—
The Blue Silver Grass around him began to sway, sending him information.
Under Tang San's Blue Silver Domain, if Yu Xiaogang was still in Heaven Dou City, he absolutely couldn't hide from Tang San's sight.
As the Blue Silver Grass communicated with him, large amounts of information flowed into Tang San's mind.
But after a long time…
There was still no result.
No information at all.
Tang San grew curious about where Yu Xiaogang had hidden himself.
Sometimes, no information is itself information.
If the Blue Silver Grass couldn't find Yu Xiaogang, there were only two possibilities.
Yu Xiaogang had already escaped far away from Heaven Dou City.
Yu Xiaogang was hiding inside the city itself.
Because only in a large urban environment like Heaven Dou City—where Blue Silver Grass rarely grows—could Tang San's search fail.
Unable to locate him, Tang San soon turned his attention toward the people of Shrek Academy.
Using his Blue Silver Domain, he began observing their activities.
Lanba Academy, being a high-level academy, had excellent mimetic cultivation environments.
Such environments definitely contained areas suitable for plant-type soul masters—places where Blue Silver Grass would grow.
After investigating for a while, Tang San obtained several conclusions:
Zhao Wuji and the others truly didn't know where Yu Xiaogang was.
Dai Mubai and the others also didn't know.
Flender seemed extremely anxious.
Tang San quickly reached a conclusion:
Yu Xiaogang had hidden himself extremely well—so well that even Flender might not know his location.
Since Yu Xiaogang couldn't have vanished into thin air, Tang San could only order the Blue Silver Grass to keep watching for him.
Even the ordinary Blue Silver Grass that hadn't become soul beasts yet would help search for Yu Xiaogang.
This was something only Tang San could accomplish.
Meanwhile, inside Lanba Academy.
On an open field, Flender was being questioned by Liu Erlong and several members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Erlong, after so many years of friendship, you still don't trust me?"
Flender was helpless.
If he had known Yu Xiaogang would do something like this, he would have restrained him before the paper was published.
How could he possibly watch Yu Xiaogang be hunted down like this?
"Cut the nonsense. Where is Yu Xiaogang?"
A middle-aged man behind Liu Erlong shouted loudly.
He held a lightning whip, his face marked with several scars—clearly a law enforcement member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
If Yu Xiaogang was captured, he intended to make him suffer terribly.
"Erlong!?"
Flender looked anxiously toward Liu Erlong.
She sighed softly and turned her gaze away.
"Flender… stop protecting Yu Xiaogang."
At this point, she didn't even want to deal with Yu Xiaogang anymore.
His rumors had already begun affecting her own life.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan truly had a method to improve innate talent—
Then what did that make Yu Xiaogang?
A worthless failure who originally didn't even possess half a level of soul power.
"Hmph. Speak now. Don't think we wouldn't dare touch you just because you're a Soul Saint."
The middle-aged enforcer snorted.
A powerful Soul Saint aura erupted from him.
Immediately afterward, the other enforcers behind him released their auras as well.
Every one of them was Soul Emperor level or higher.
Facing such a group, Flender had no chance.
"The house I arranged for Yu Xiaogang doesn't have him anymore. I truly don't know where he went. If you don't believe me, I'll take you there."
Flender said helplessly.
"You should've said that earlier."
The enforcer snorted again.
"If we find Yu Xiaogang… can you spare his life?"
Flender asked immediately.
"Impossible."
"If Yu Xiaogang publicly admits his rumors were lies, perhaps the clan leader might spare his miserable life."
"Now lead the way."
After hearing that, Flender lowered his head in resignation.
"Follow me."
His heart was filled with sorrow.
He never imagined that the once-famous Golden Triangle would end up like this.
Yu Xiaogang… what the hell are you doing?
Flender screamed silently in his heart.
