Outside the forest.
Both Tang Xiao and Tang Hao sensed the commotion in the Blue Silver Forest.
"Xiao San is absorbing his Fifth Soul Ring—it's A Yin's gift!" Tang Xiao sighed.
"I will definitely avenge A Yin. Sooner or later, I'll find the person who took A Yin's Soul Bone!"
Tang Hao had a premonition that the person who took A Yin and the one who stole his son's External Soul Bone were the same individual.
Back then, this person had seized the opportunity while he was protecting Xiao San on the way to Shrek Academy to take A Yin and the Soul Bone.
This indicated that the other party was very familiar with him.
Later, they had taken Xiao San's External Soul Bone twice in a row.
It showed that this person was persistently haunting them, always watching.
Tang Hao had already shared his suspicions with Tang Xiao.
The two vowed to uncover this hidden enemy.
This time, with Tang San absorbing another Spirit Ring, it was an opportunity.
They would see if the enemy would show up.
"Brother Hao, no signs. The Second Elder and Third Elder haven't detected anything either!"
On the surface, Tang Xiao remained motionless, but he communicated with Tang Hao through a condensed sound thread.
It turned out that not only had the two of them come, but two Titled Douluos were also stationed in different positions, secretly protecting Tang San.
They were waiting for the hidden enemy to appear.
"Don't rush. Wait until Xiao San finishes absorbing the Spirit Ring!" Tang Hao sneered inwardly.
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed. Inside the forest, Tang San's aura had stabilized, and he had successfully absorbed the Spirit Ring.
But there was still no movement in the surroundings.
It seemed the hidden enemy wouldn't make a move this time.
Both Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were somewhat disappointed.
"I believe he's definitely watching us. Later, we'll escort Xiao San to Slaughter City together. I want to see if he'll make a move then!"
Tang Hao seethed with resentment.
Mentioning Slaughter City, Tang Xiao felt dissatisfied again.
He didn't want Tang San to go to Slaughter City at this time.
It was too dangerous.
But he couldn't resist Tang Hao's insistence, and Tang San himself was willing to go.
Tang San was unwilling to settle for ordinary cultivation—the progress was too slow. When would he ever reach the level of a Titled Douluo and be able to add Spirit Rings to his second Martial Soul?
He wanted to grow quickly.
After learning about Slaughter City from his father, Tang San believed that hidden weapons would play a huge role there.
If no one could use Soul Skills, wouldn't that be his domain?
It was precisely based on this advantage that Tang Xiao had no choice but to agree.
He could only hope everything would go smoothly.
The continuous misfortunes of the Clear Sky Sect had already put Tang Xiao on edge.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and everything remained normal. Tang San emerged from the forest.
Not only had his strength greatly increased, but even his appearance had changed.
He now resembled the Blue Silver Emperor, A Yin, even more.
This brought tears to both Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's eyes.
For a moment, they almost thought A Yin had reappeared before them.
The three of them embraced and wept together, a scene of profound sorrow.
Only after Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had composed themselves did the three set off again.
The Second Elder and Third Elder followed secretly.
A total of five people hurried toward Slaughter City.
Slaughter City.
Dugu Feng and Xiong Ba returned together to the familiar Slaughter City.
He had encountered Xiong Ba in Heaven Dou City.
He had returned to Heaven Dou City to escort Ning Rongrong back.
After all, his relationship with the King of Slaughter was one of cooperation, not absolute trust.
Moreover, they might still have to face Bibi Dong and Tang Hao.
Bringing Ning Rongrong along wasn't safe either.
However, Ning Rongrong only knew that he would be cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well next to break through to Soul Emperor.
As for his trip to Slaughter City, he hadn't told anyone about that.
If he caused a major incident in Slaughter City,
and Ning Fengzhi and others found out he was in Slaughter City, they would surely suspect him.
Given the Dugu Family's current strength, it was only suitable for staying behind the scenes, not for charging into battle. Dugu Feng was very cautious.
He and Xiong Ba smoothly arrived at the mountain range behind Slaughter Town.
Here was the entrance to Slaughter City.
After some thought, he released two Emerald Dragon Snakes.
He decided to let the Emerald Dragon Snakes patrol the outskirts of Slaughter City!
With them, whether it was Bibi Dong or Tang Hao, as long as they came to Slaughter City, they would be detected by the hidden Emerald Dragon Snakes.
After completing this, he and Xiong Ba entered the inner city of Slaughter City directly through the entrance.
Along the way, Dugu Feng had already learned from Xiong Ba why the King of Slaughter was looking for him.
It was to discuss dealing with Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect.
It seemed the King of Slaughter was getting anxious.
Perhaps he had been frightened by Dugu Feng's momentum-building.
The Clear Sky Sect produced stronger generations with each era, each generation wielding the Clear Sky Hammer against the Pope.
Naturally, the King of Slaughter was afraid too!
He also feared the Clear Sky Hammer striking Slaughter City.
This just happened to align with Dugu Feng's intentions.
Letting enemies develop silently was not acceptable - they needed to be set against each other.
As Dugu Feng walked along the dim streets, a familiar sense of imagery washed over him again.
The Killing Intent within him stirred restlessly.
Perhaps he could take this opportunity to cultivate his Killing Intent into Asura Power.
Dugu Feng thought to himself.
A moment later, he arrived at the room where the King of Slaughter resided.
The King of Slaughter's appearance had hardly changed at all.
He still wore a massive crimson cloak, with pale complexion and blood-red eyes.
"Poison Demon King, you promised to deal with the two Gods of Slaughter, but what have you actually done?
The influence of Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall keeps growing stronger, while you seem to have done nothing!"
The King of Slaughter roared, wanting to intimidate Dugu Feng from the start.
Dugu Feng glanced at Xiong Ba beside him and the Seductive Woman standing next to the King of Slaughter.
His meaning was clear - he didn't want any third parties present.
Now he had the qualification to set conditions.
The King of Slaughter's imposing manner faltered; he hadn't expected Dugu Feng to completely ignore his opening gambit.
He carefully examined Dugu Feng.
Years had passed since their last meeting.
Dugu Feng had changed significantly.
His strength had progressed from Great Soul Master back then to Soul King now.
From the somewhat naive fledgling back then, he had truly transformed into a tiger.
At the very least, the King of Slaughter could sense the energy ready to erupt within Dugu Feng's body.
He nodded imperceptibly - the stronger Dugu Feng's power, the better.
The more he could help deal with the two major external enemies.
"You may leave!"
The King of Slaughter said coldly.
Xiong Ba tactfully walked out, while the Seductive Woman glared fiercely at Dugu Feng before swaying out with her seductive gait.
"King of Slaughter, regarding the confrontation between Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall in the outside world, you don't actually think this is something they willingly brought upon themselves, do you?"
Dugu Feng said meaningfully.
The King of Slaughter snorted, "Are you claiming this is your achievement?"
"Without my efforts, this matter couldn't have created such waves across the continent.
Moreover, Clear Sky Sect has been concealing their true strength all along.
"Besides the Haotian Twin Stars Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, the other Titled Douluos have been remaining hidden. Does His Majesty the King of Slaughter believe they were accidentally exposed?"
Dugu Feng said coldly.
Both sides were in a cooperative relationship, and his contributions could not be erased.
This concerned the upcoming action.
It was time for the King of Slaughter to step forward and lead the charge!
