Tang San's Dilemma, Di Tian Appears

"Gulp!"

Oscar looked at Grandmaster in horror. He had never expected that the gentle-looking Grandmaster had such a cruel side.

"Brother, are you going to kill me for my bones too?" Xiao Wu asked Tang San softly as she backed away. Her eyes were red-rimmed, terrified that Tang San would nod.

"Xiao San, what are you still hesitating for? Kill Xiao Wu. This is your master's order. Let your teacher bear the burden of being the villain for you." Yu Xiaogang looked entirely as though he were thinking of Tang San.

"Xiao Wu, I..." Tang San hesitated. His eyes were bloodshot, and his body trembled.

"Xiao San, are you going to kill me?" Xiao Wu was heartbroken, her eyes brimming with tears. Tang San had hesitated. She could see it. That boy who had once stood before her without hesitation would only protect Xiao Wu the human, not Xiao Wu the soul beast.

"No, Xiao Wu, listen to me." Tang San hurried forward, wanting to grab hold of Xiao Wu.

"There's no need to explain. I'm a soul beast, not a human. Tang San, thank you for protecting me all these years." Xiao Wu ultimately retained her composure and turned to rush toward the Titan Giant Ape.

"Xiao Wu, don't go." Tang San wanted to stop her, but Xiao Wu ran toward Er Ming without looking back.

"Xiao Wu!!" Tang San chased after Xiao Wu with no regard for his life, while Grandmaster behind him angrily rebuked, "Xiao San, what are you waiting for? Once she leaves, who knows who'll benefit from it!

Kill her, and you can still obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul bone!"

Grandmaster's expression was cold. Tang San was caught in a dilemma; he wanted his sister, but he also wanted the soul bone.

Tang San chased after them, but Xiao Wu had already been placed on Er Ming's shoulder. Er Ming glanced at Yun Ming, who still stood protectively before Luo Chuan, and deep wariness filled his eyes.

Yet he still said in a muffled voice, "Don't come to the Core Region!"

Er Ming's words sounded like both advice and a warning.

Yun Ming did not care. He had no need for soul rings and would not come to the Star Dou Great Forest without reason. But if Luo Chuan needed him to, he would fight his way into the Core Region.

"Xiao Wu! Are you really leaving? How can I see you again?" Tang San continued chasing after Er Ming. Er Ming did not stop, but Xiao Wu slowly turned around. "There's no need to meet again. Tang San, you obey Grandmaster in everything. I'm already very grateful that you didn't attack me today. In the future, we shouldn't meet again."

Xiao Wu's voice grew more distant. Tang San soon lost sight of the Titan Giant Ape and leaned against a large tree, panting heavily.

Meanwhile, Grandmaster angrily pointed at Luo Chuan and Flender. "Idiots! You master and disciple are the biggest idiots in the world! Those were two soul bones and a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. And you just let them go!"

Grandmaster's expression was twisted, as though if Yun Ming killed Xiao Wu and Er Ming, he would get a share of the soul rings and soul bones.

Luo Chuan's expression turned cold. The World-Destroying Black Lotus slowly manifested beneath his feet, and killing intent had already arisen in his heart.

This Yu Xiaogang truly did not know what was good for him!

"Xiao Chuan." Flender slowly placed a hand on Luo Chuan's shoulder. Luo Chuan snorted coldly and withdrew the black lotus.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Luo Chuan, his heart pounding wildly. Just now, he seemed to have brushed past death itself.

"Hall Master, my aura may disturb the fierce beasts sleeping in the Core Region." Yun Ming had already withdrawn his aura, but none of the Shrek group would now regard him as a refined scholar.

That spear strike had been too stunning, too powerful.

With just an ordinary sweep, he had actually sent a powerful soul beast like the Titan Giant Ape flying back thirty meters!

"Uncle Yun Ming, can you hold them off?"

"As long as Di Tian doesn't come, there won't be a problem." Yun Ming nodded. He had merely released his aura; Di Tian should not come out.

Luo Chuan also felt that such a small matter would not alarm Di Tian. After all, in the original story, even Da Ming and Er Ming's sacrifices had not disturbed the fierce beasts deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Time slowly passed. Grandmaster quietly reprimanded Tang San, regret still filling his eyes. Tang San looked dejected and vacant, shutting Grandmaster's voice out entirely.

After using their Martial Soul Avatars, Flender and Zhao Wuji were not in their best condition either. But with Yun Ming present, their original plan could still proceed.

Yun Ming no longer concealed himself and instead traveled with the group.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing awoke one after another. Absorbing three-thousand-year soul rings had not put them under much pressure.

"I feel like I can absorb an eight-thousand-year soul ring!" Ning Rongrong proudly lifted her chin and snorted disdainfully at Grandmaster.

Yun Ming smiled gently at her words. "The Hall Master's Golden Lotus is indeed unfathomable. If the Hall Master helps them absorb soul rings again next time, soul rings below twenty thousand years should not be a problem."

"Really?" Ning Rongrong's gemlike eyes turned toward Luo Chuan. Then she sweetly ran to his side, hugged his arm, and swayed it back and forth, rubbing her little face against his shoulder. "Luo Chuan~, when I obtain my fourth soul ring, help me again, okay~?"

Luo Chuan's face darkened. This little demoness was truly lethal when she acted coquettishly.

However, this time, Luo Chuan did not pull his arm away in disgust, because after absorbing a soul ring, this little girl was no longer flat as a board.

Though she was still nothing remarkable, she had started developing, hadn't she?

Zhu Zhuqing jealously pulled Ning Rongrong away, then said righteously, "Rong Rong, we still need to continue searching for soul beasts."

They had only just awakened. Though they were surprised by the devastated trees around them, they still did not know what had happened.

Judging by everyone's expressions, it seemed a great deal had happened. And where had Xiao Wu gone?

Tang San looked utterly distraught, his eyes frighteningly red, so neither of them asked.

"Ahem, Senior Yun Ming, was it?" Flender coughed twice and looked at Yun Ming. "What should we do next...?"

"Dean Flender, you are the Hall Master's teacher. You may simply call me Yun Ming. As for your itinerary, you and the Hall Master may decide." Yun Ming was extremely respectful toward Flender. Having secretly protected Luo Chuan for so long, he naturally knew the relationship between Luo Chuan and Flender.

Even so, Flender remained very restrained. After all, Yun Ming was a powerful Titled Douluo, and those soul rings and that strength were far beyond what an ordinary Titled Douluo could compare to.

As the sky gradually darkened, the group found a relatively dry clearing and set up their tents.

At some point, Zhu Zhuqing came to Luo Chuan's side. Having absorbed her third soul ring, her figure had become even more voluptuous. Her waist remained slender, but her chest and shapely hips had become increasingly full and round.

Perhaps sensing Luo Chuan's frequent glances, Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, Red Lips parted as she wanted to ask about Xiao Wu.

But before she could speak, Luo Chuan heard Yun Ming roar, "Insolence!"

Immediately afterward, an explosive boom suddenly rang out in the air, followed by an overwhelming pressure descending from above.

Boom!

The camp collapsed, and wild winds surged. Even Luo Chuan was caught off guard and sent flying by the raging wave of energy.

In midair, the Sky-Supporting Spear stood upright against the heavens. Its tip moved slightly, dispersing the enormous wave of energy below.

Before Yun Ming stood a black-robed figure in the air. His face was resolute and sharply defined, his disheveled hair whipping about, his bearing arrogant and overbearing. He stood nearly two meters tall, broad and powerfully built. Merely standing there made space itself unstable.

"Di Tian!" Yun Ming looked coldly at the other party. That black-clothed man was none other than Beast God Di Tian.

Yun Ming found it strange. By all reason, Di Tian should not have appeared.
