Hunting Down the Traitor!

Tang San had originally come here to practice his hidden weapon techniques, only to stumble upon this scene by accident.

In that instant, Tang San's mind went completely blank.

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!

Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!

Weren't those... weren't those the Tang Sect's secret arts?

In this world, aside from him, someone who had transmigrated here from the Tang Sect, how could there possibly be a second person who knew them?!

Tang San stared fixedly at Su Bai's figure, feeling a chill run through his entire body.

A few days ago, he had accidentally seen Su Bai leading Xiao Wu and the others in practicing an extremely profound footwork technique.

At the time, he had only found it familiar. Xiao Wu and the others' footwork had still been very awkward then, so Tang San had not thought too deeply about it.

But now, when Tang San personally saw Su Bai use Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, an absurd thought—one he was unwilling to believe—began to grow wildly in his mind.

Could it be...

Su Bai was also a member of the Tang Sect?

Had he also transmigrated from the Tang Sect?

The thought was like a thunderbolt, striking Tang San until his head spun and his vision blurred.

If Xiao Wu's betrayal had only made his heart feel like it was being torn apart, then the discovery at this moment completely shook the very foundation Tang San stood on.

The Tang Sect's secret arts were Tang San's greatest secret, and the most important point was that his Tang Sect secret arts had been stolen!

Su Bai noticed that gaze filled with shock.

He turned his head and happened to meet Tang San's utterly devastated expression.

Su Bai smiled with playful interest.

With a thought, the fallen leaf circling in his palm suddenly turned into a streak of flowing light and flew past Tang San's cheek from an extremely tricky angle.

There was a soft "chi."

The fallen leaf embedded itself deeply into the trunk of a large tree behind Tang San.

One Leaf Injury!

This was a technique that could only be achieved by training hidden weapon methods to a profound level, then combining them with internal force.

Tang San stood frozen on the spot.

He stiffly turned his head and looked at the half of the leaf still exposed outside the tree trunk. His body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Su Bai withdrew his hand and did not look at him again. Instead, he turned back around and gently continued explaining to the three girls.

"Did you see that? This is Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon. Once cultivated to the extreme, even flying flowers and plucked leaves can injure people."

"But to reach this level, you still need a special cultivation method.

Do you... want to learn it?"

Excitement appeared on both Xiao Wu's and Zhu Zhuqing's faces.

They had witnessed the miraculous nature of this technique with their own eyes, so of course they wanted to learn it.

Only Ning Rongrong, though she also thought it was amazing, felt that inexplicable sense of loss in her heart grow even heavier.

Brother Bai was already so intimate with Xiao Wu and Zhuqing, yet with her...

Could it be that he really only wanted to play around with her and had no intention of truly wanting her?

The more Ning Rongrong thought about it, the more upset she felt, and even her interest in learning the cultivation method faded considerably.

Su Bai took in Ning Rongrong's girlish worry and insecurity, and laughed inwardly.

Little witch, you'll be delivering yourself to my door very soon.

What he wanted was not merely Ning Rongrong herself, but also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind her.

This Shrek Academy, in the end, was only a starting point.

Just then, Tang San could no longer endure the torment in his heart.

Not only did Su Bai know the Tang Sect's secret arts, now he was even going to pass the matching internal cultivation method, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, to outsiders!

In the Tang Sect, this was absolutely forbidden!

"Stop!"

Tang San roared as he rushed out, fists clenched tight, his body shaking violently from agitation.

"Su Bai! You... how do you know these things?!"

When Xiao Wu saw Tang San, she immediately frowned and stood in front of Su Bai.

"Tang San, what are you trying to do now?"

Su Bai gently patted Xiao Wu's shoulder, signaling for her to step aside.

He walked up to Tang San, his face wearing the teasing look of a cat toying with a mouse.

"Why would I know it?"

Su Bai spoke unhurriedly.

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank a chance encounter six years ago."

"Back then, in a forest, I saved a white-haired old man who was on his last breath."

"He said he had been hunting down a traitor from his sect, but because he'd jumped off a cliff, he didn't have long to live. To keep his lifetime of ultimate arts from being lost, he passed all those techniques on to me."

As Su Bai spoke, he watched Tang San's expression.

Tang San's face had already gone from flushed red to deathly pale.

Six years ago... white-haired old man... jumped off a cliff... hunting down a traitor!

Each of those words was like a heavy hammer, smashing hard into Tang San's chest.

The Tang Sect elders... could they have followed him here too?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

How could they possibly have crossed worlds?

Tang San roared wildly in his heart, trying to deny that terrifying guess.

As if he hadn't seen the fear on his face, Su Bai continued.

"Oh, right. Before that old man died, he also entrusted me with one thing."

"He said that traitor had secretly learned the sect's highest secret manual, and told me that if I ever met him in the future, I had to clean house for him."

The words "clean house" struck Tang San like a bolt from the blue. He stumbled back several steps, and cold sweat instantly soaked through the clothes on his back.

This secret was the greatest fear in Tang San's heart.

Now that fear had been dug out alive and laid bare under the sun.

"You... you..."

Tang San's lips trembled, and he couldn't get a single word out.

Su Bai chuckled softly and ignored him.

"Just a lunatic. Let's continue."

He turned, put his arms around Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, and began explaining the introductory mental method of Mysterious Heaven Skill to them.

Ning Rongrong looked at Tang San, who seemed completely absentminded, as if he had lost his soul, then looked at the calm and effortless Su Bai, and her understanding of Su Bai's strength deepened yet again.

As for Tang San, after standing stiffly in place for a long time, he finally could no longer bear that tremendous fear.

Tang San screamed, turned, and ran, looking as wretched as a stray dog that had lost its home.

He had to cultivate! He had to become stronger!

Only by becoming stronger than anyone else could he escape this nightmare!

Looking at Tang San's scrambling, fleeing back, Xiao Wu curled her lip in disdain.

"What a coward."

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing. She merely silently committed the key points of Mysterious Heaven Skill that Su Bai had just explained to memory.

To Zhu Zhuqing, what happened to Tang San had nothing to do with her.

Her only goal now was to keep up with Su Bai's footsteps and grow stronger without stopping.

Su Bai rubbed Xiao Wu's head.

"All right, don't bother with him. Let's continue."

"This Mysterious Heaven Skill is the foundation of all techniques. Once mastered, it can not only greatly increase the speed of your Soul Power cultivation, but also enhance the effects of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon."

Hearing that it could speed up cultivation, the three girls all grew more interested. Even Ning Rongrong, who had been somewhat distracted before, pricked up her ears.

For the rest of the time, Su Bai patiently explained the method of practicing Mysterious Heaven Skill to the three girls.

Su Bai broke the profound chants down into the simplest parts, and personally guided them in sensing the flow of Soul Power within their bodies.
