Tang San's Mental Realm Rose Once More

The day after the extermination of the Fallen Ones.

Four rumors circulated within Falling Star City:

Firstly, it is true that Dales colluded with the Fallen Ones!

Secondly, it is true that he secretly raised Fallen Ones, found pregnant women, removed their fetuses, and used Fallen Ones for cultivation!

Thirdly, it is true that the people who have disappeared over the past six years were all secretly arrested by Dales or imprisoned on some pretext, so that they could be used as food and supplies for the Fallen Ones to cultivate!

Fourthly, the extermination of the Fallen Ones was also due to Dales's actions. In order to prove his innocence, he sent someone who knew the truth to Falling Star Slope Falling Star City, to impersonate Fallen Ones!

This move was not only to take this opportunity to squeeze money out of the city's residents, but also to use the Soul Master of the Spirit Hall and Adventurer's Guild in the city, as well as the adventurers from Nuoding City who came to investigate, to help him eliminate those who knew the truth, so that there would be no way to prove it!

As the saying goes—

Bad news travels fast.

As soon as these four rumors appeared, they spread at an extremely fast pace from the South Vegetable Market to the North Commercial Street, and then to the East Restaurant and the West Neighborhood.

"I fucking knew it! Dales is no good!"

"So it was Dales himself who did it!"

"He actually colluded with the Fallen Ones! And this operation to wipe out the Fallen Ones is not only about taking money from our pockets, but also using the Spirit Hall's Soul Master and the Guild's Adventurers to purge those who know the truth... What a brilliant two-birds-with-one-stone scheme!"

"Dales! How insidious!"

"Speaking of which, who started this rumor?"

"Who knows, maybe someone in the City Lord's Mansion had a change of heart and revealed everything!"

"·····"

In just one morning, the entire population of Falling Star City was scorning Dales ' character! They were even hurling insults at him!

The law does not discriminate based on the number of people!

One person is cursing?

Court death!

But if everyone in the city is cursing, then he is innocent!

Especially yesterday, the price at which the City Lord's Mansion purchased Soul Sand and Soul Crystal was so low that people's resentment found an outlet and naturally erupted.

Dales himself had heard about these things, but the Fake Dales was unaware that all matters of daily life were being overseen by Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was keeping an eye on Dales, while Tang San had just returned from outside and said to Zhou Qing, "Norman has made the facts public, which has aroused public anger. Perhaps as long as someone raises their voice, they can stir up their emotions and make them go to the City Lord's Mansion to seek justice."

"That's not enough." Zhou Qing shook his head. "They're just hurling insults at us right now."

Should we add fuel to the fire?

Tang San asked.

"No need. We just need to keep an eye on this fake Dales and prevent him from knowing what's going on outside," Zhou Qing said. "The real Dales will definitely get restless. Let's wait and see. It will only take two or three days."

"What if he doesn't take action?" Tang San asked.

"Old Mr. Norman will take action. After all, the Dales we're looking at is a fake, just a butler. When Norman brings his men to demand an explanation, we can cooperate from the inside and use him as the real one to vent our anger. There won't be any major problems." Zhou Qing's eyes remained calm. "And since Dales is dead in the eyes of the people of Falling Star City, even if he really comes out, he will be considered a fake. At that time, even if he is still alive, he will have to die. The higher-ups of the Star Luo Empire will go along with it to prevent this matter from being publicized, and they will make sure he dies with dignity."

"He made such a big mistake and aroused public anger. Even if he still has some connections in Star Luo City, those powerful people will definitely sever ties with him to avoid getting into trouble. After all, we have seen a bit of the competition in the Star Luo Empire's royal family from Qingzhu Zhu. And this Dales chose the wrong person at the beginning, so he was ostracized by others and came to Falling Star City for refuge."

At this point, Tang San fully understood Zhou Qing's plan:

Guide the public to demand justice from Dales!

And the so-called killing of Dales again and again—

The first time was death.

In other words, Dales is destined to die no matter what.

If he doesn't want to maintain his dignity, then the people sent by the Star Luo Empire to investigate the truth will make sure he does.

The second is death on a spiritual level.

This fake Dales will die as the real Dales, thus causing the real Dales to become fake.

This means that Dales himself could not die in his true identity, but died as an unknown "illegal person".

This is a status even lower than that of a villager in the countryside!

No matter how little the powerful and wealthy in the city care about the villagers, they are still remembered by the villagers, who will mourn them at the moment of their death.

And what about Dales?

The bodies of the deceased may not be buried, but simply dumped in a mass grave, or burned, thus ending the matter once and for all.

But was all of this Zhou Qing's plan?

Tang San became suspicious.

After all, Zhou Qing could never accurately predict every move Dales. At this point, he would probably have to rely more on improvisation, observing Dales's actions to anticipate his reactions and then taking appropriate action.

Now, Dales ' various outrageous actions have angered the entire Falling Star City, and Zhou Qing has seen through the key to this and guided him accordingly.

"Qing Ge, if I were to become your enemy, I'm afraid I would die without even knowing why," Tang San sighed Youyou.

"So you have to keep an eye on me all the time!"

Zhou Qing blinked. "To avoid getting caught up in the desire to manipulate people and becoming the next Dales. After all, what truly frightens me in this world right now is my own talent!"

"Screw you!"

That's what they said, but this trust really touched Tang San, because it represented Zhou Qing's trust and expectations of him, hoping that he could become a better person than Zhou Qing!

He will certainly live up to this expectation!

But he also knew that catching up with Zhou Qing might be a bit difficult.

It's not about talent or strength in cultivation, but about the spirit and belief at the level of dreams and ideals— Zhou Qing is determined to change the world and make everyone equal, which is why he can unleash that awe-inspiring Mind-Sense Qi Field!

And what about Tang San?

My dream is only so big: to rebuild the Tang Sect and surpass Tang Sect on this Douluo Continent.

How to surpass it?

Hidden Weapon, martial arts techniques?

That's not all!

Now, Tang San believes that in order to truly surpass the Tang Sect of his previous life, or rather, to surpass himself, he must set one or more lofty, grand, or even great goals for the Tang Sect, and teach future Tang Sect disciples to follow in his footsteps and achieve those goals.

It's not just about establishing a sect with a more complete system, more powerful Hidden Weapon, and more advanced techniques than the Tang Sect of the previous life.

After experiencing Zhou Qing's Mind-Sense Qi Field, Tang San understood that the key was this belief with a clear and ambitious goal, while systems, Hidden Weapon, and techniques were merely means to an end.

But--

What ambitious goals should I set for the future of the Tang Sect?
