Old Tang: It Worked!

Huo Yuhao's expression turned solemn as he met the God of Destruction's gaze earnestly, saying, "Senior, rest assured, I will take every Divine Examination seriously."

The God of Destruction nodded and said nothing more.

Immediately, that voice, like a declaration of rules, rang in Huo Yuhao's mind once more.

"The Second Trial of the Trial of Destruction: collect evidence of Tang San's crimes, with a time limit of six months."

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at the God of Destruction with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He didn't fully understand what "evidence of a crime" specifically meant. As God King in the Divine Realm, Tang San's "crime" was clearly not the kind that would be considered in the mortal realm.

The God of Destruction then explained, "To bring Tang San down, I must present irrefutable evidence of his violation of the Divine Realm's rules at the God Realm Committee meeting."

"He has repeatedly spied on the lower realms, and must have many secret plans in place on the Douluo Continent..."

At this point, Huo Yuhao understood and continued, "So the Second Trial is to have me collect information on the methods Tang San has set up on the Douluo Continent?"

The God of Destruction nodded. "That's right. With another Scepter of Destruction, you can contact me at any time after finding Tang San's final arrangements."

"Although one day in the Divine Realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal realm, you still need to act quickly."

"After I return to the Divine Realm, I will soon convene a meeting of the Divine Realm."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's lips curved into a confident smile, "Senior, rest assured, I will not keep you waiting long."

His confidence stemmed from the fact that he already had a clear plan in mind.

He already knew about several of the methods Tang San had set up in the lower realm.

At the same time, he was also pondering a long-held idea: perhaps it was time to make a trip to the Clear Sky Sect.

Previously, he was wary of Tang San, the God King, and feared that the Clear Sky Sect might be hiding various schemes of his, so he kept making excuses to decline Wang Dong'er's invitation.

But now that a God King stands behind him, he no longer needs to worry about things as he did before.

Just as Huo Yuhao and the others had escaped from Ming Capital, the atmosphere Sixian Hall of the Sun Moon Imperial Palace seemed to have plummeted to freezing point.

Xu Tianran, his face grim, looked at the several Level-nine Soul Engineer below and said coldly, "So, those people from the Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda have already escaped from Ming Capital?"

A Level-nine Soul Engineer bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Your Highness!"

"Bang!"

Xu Tianran slammed his right hand heavily on the armrest of his wheelchair, then sneered, "So you're telling me that after planning for so many days, you still let them escape?"

"Is it because the people who originally belonged to the Three Douluo Kingdoms are too powerful, or do you admit that you are just trash?!"

Hearing Xu Tianran's raised voice at the end, everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to breathe.

However, as Level-nine Soul Engineer, they were at the pinnacle of their abilities, and they were understandably dissatisfied with being reprimanded in this way.

Someone couldn't help but speak up, "Your Highness, this isn't our fault. A white mist suddenly rose from the West Mountain, rendering our Flying Soul Tool unusable within it, forcing us to abandon the pursuit."

"Didn't the Holy Spirit Cult say that place was enough to trap Shrek and the people from the Spirit Pagoda for hundreds of years? But they didn't even last one night!"

Xu Tianran's choice to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult was not entirely agreed upon by all the Level-nine Soul Engineer of the Sun Moon Empire Sect. Some of them were extremely disgusted with these Evil Soul Master, and the person who spoke up at this moment was one of them.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran slowly shifted his gaze to the black-robed man beside him.

He asked, "Cult Master, shouldn't you give me an explanation for this?"

Zhongli Wu slowly spoke, "Elder Long to the Spirit Pagoda, but Di Tian intervened, so Huo Yuhao and the others were ultimately not spared."

There's not much to say about this. Even if Long Xiaoyao is Limit Douluo, it's only natural for him to retreat in the face of Di Tian, after all, that's Di Tian.

Xu Tianran then asked, "What about the West Mountain? The Cult Master said that even Limit Douluo could be trapped there for a hundred years."

Zhongli Wu fell silent upon hearing this; to be honest, he didn't know what was going on either.

His grandfather was also Limit Douluo, and he was trapped in that valley for a hundred years. This is a personal experience that cannot be faked.

So now that he's learned of this result, he's a bit bewildered, wondering if it's because too many people went in this time?

After a moment, Zhongli Wu's hoarse voice finally came through. "This time, I misjudged the situation."

Xu Tianran fell silent upon hearing this, his heart filled with surging anger because the plan had failed.

However, he will still need the support of the Holy Spirit Cult, so he cannot do or say too much right now.

He looked at Zhongli Wu, his voice seemingly calm now, and said, "I hope the Cult Master won't disappoint me next time."

After saying that, he looked at the Ju Zi on the other side and ordered, "Get ready, we will launch an attack immediately after the national mourning period!"

Not long ago, the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire "passed away"!

By tomorrow, news of the attack on the Sun Moon Imperial Palace by the Three Douluo Kingdoms and the death of the old emperor will spread throughout the Sun Moon Empire.

Ju Zi's eyes gleamed with excitement as she replied, "Yes, Your Highness!"

Heaven Dou City, Tang Sect.

Since the Tang Sect Headquarters in Shrek City was destroyed, this branch in Heaven Dou City has become the new Tang Sect hub.

The Douluo of Emotion Zang Xin has been guarding this place, because no one is sure if those Evil Soul Master who dared to attack Shrek Academy with Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell will throw another one into Heaven Dou City.

The Tang Sect's underground base has been reinforced and expanded several times, forming a complete and rigorous defense system, sufficient to withstand attacks for a period of time even in extreme circumstances.

At this moment, in a Cultivation Room deep within the Tang Sect's underground base, Tang Wulin was sitting cross-legged in the center.

The warm light of the Soul Guidance Lamp cast a soft glow on the walls; he had been cultivating here for nearly two hours.

In recent months, his Soul Power has noticeably decreased.

This is not because he hasn't practiced hard enough, but because he can never truly calm his mind.

The scene of Old Tang forcibly taking the Han Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal kept replaying in his mind. He felt guilty, but didn't know how to make amends.

That guilt, like a stone sinking to the bottom of the water, grew heavier day by day.

He let out a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and decided to stop here for today.

Just as he was about to get up, a voice suddenly rang in his mind, filled with undisguised excitement. "It's done!"

It was Old Tang's voice.

Tang Wulin's movements suddenly stopped, and he immediately sank into his Spirit Sea.

Sure enough, in that familiar mental space, he saw Old Tang's figure.

Old Tang's face showed a rare joy, as if he had finally accomplished something important that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.

The item he held in his outstretched palm was the Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal, its entire surface shimmering with a deep blue luster.
