Waiting for the Hare, the Smug Tang San

Upon hearing Liu Yuan's words, Xiao Wu's eyes instantly lit up.

Ever since the incident, Xiao Wu had harbored a deep-seated hatred for Tang San.

She even loathed Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and the others with every fiber of her being.

Especially Yu Xiaogang; as Tang San's teacher, Xiao Wu absolutely did not believe he was unaware of the many things Tang San had done behind her back to betray her.

Yet, even after knowing, he remained unmoved and even went so far as to shield Tang San, which in Xiao Wu's eyes made him equally deserving of death.

Therefore, hearing that Liu Yuan had finally relented and was sending her along with two other Holy Spirit Cult elders to execute Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu was overjoyed.

She had long wanted to take revenge on Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others, to pay back every bit of the deception and pain she had suffered tenfold.

Previously, it was because her strength was insufficient and Liu Yuan had not given his consent.

But this time, not only had Liu Yuan agreed, but Xiao Wu, who had been serving by his side, had also received immense benefits and now possessed the strength of a Title Douluo.

Thus, she couldn't wait to head to Jialing Pass immediately, capture Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, Flender, and the rest, and slice them into a thousand pieces to feed to the dogs!

"So, that Pope of Wuhun Hall actually did our Cult Master a favor?"

"Her luck is truly enviable."

"To receive the gratitude of the Cult Master—this is a heaven-sent opportunity for her."

To the side, the First and Second Elders of the Holy Spirit Cult had their attention entirely fixed on Bibi Dong.

After all, they had no personal connection to the likes of Yu Xiaogang, so their focus was entirely on the task of repaying the favor on Liu Yuan's behalf.

To be honest, before they were subdued by Liu Yuan, each of them had been a supreme powerhouse on the Douluo Dalu.

Back then, they were arrogant, domineering, and incredibly conceited.

But ever since they were conquered by Liu Yuan, they realized that there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond the heavens.

If their predictions were correct.

Their Cult Master had already transcended the boundaries of humanity.

He had touched the realm of the gods.

Therefore, both the First and Second Elders of the Holy Spirit Cult understood the extent of Liu Yuan's power.

Given this premise, for a mere Pope of Wuhun Hall to have once done a favor for the Cult Master and to have earned his gratitude—

She was simply too fortunate.

In the eyes of these two Holy Spirit Cult elders.

If the Cult Master were to truly emerge from seclusion.

Never mind destroying the Heaven Dou Empire and the so-called Tang San and his cohorts.

Even if he wanted to support Bibi Dong in unifying the Douluo Dalu, it would be as simple as drinking tea or eating a meal.

That was why they were so shocked just moments ago.

Bibi Dong was truly blessed.

"Hmm."

"However, there is one thing you must remember once you reach Jialing Pass."

"Do not clash head-on with Tang San."

"If my calculations are correct, Tang San should have already obtained the inheritance of the Seagod by now."

"Although he has not yet completed all the trials of the Seagod, and the Seagod is merely a first-rank god who couldn't even withstand ten of my strikes—"

"A god is still a god. He may be an ant to me, but that is not necessarily the case for you."

"Especially now that Tang San has obtained the Seagod's weapon, the Seagod Trident, making him even more difficult to deal with."

"So, on this trip to Jialing Pass, it is best not to clash head-on with Tang San unless absolutely necessary."

"If you intend to kill Yu Xiaogang, it is best to strike when Tang San is not by his side."

"As for Tang San, I will deal with him myself once I truly emerge from seclusion."

Liu Yuan nodded at the two Holy Spirit Cult elders and began to issue his instructions.

He gave a stern warning specifically to Xiao Wu.

After all, Xiao Wu held a grudge against Tang San and the others, and it was easy for her to lose control of her emotions.

The two Holy Spirit Cult elders were different; they were old and cunning, and they knew perfectly well what could and could not be done.

"Understood, Cult Master."

The two Holy Spirit Cult elders nodded respectfully to Liu Yuan.

As for Xiao Wu, she blinked coquettishly at Liu Yuan before planting a kiss on his cheek.

"Understood, my master."

"We'll be heading out now. Once Xiao Wu returns, I'll be sure to serve you well."

Liu Yuan nodded at them, then handed Xiao Wu a black jade stone.

"There is a trace of my divine power inside this jade stone."

"Although it can only be used once, it can save your lives at a critical moment."

"However, I will say it again: it is best not to use it if you don't have to."

"I can save you once, but not twice. Be careful in what you do, lest you capsize in a gutter."

Liu Yuan said indifferently.

Xiao Wu took the jade stone from Liu Yuan's hand, unable to put it down, and couldn't help but give Liu Yuan another hug.

"My master, Xiao Wu loves you to death."

Liu Yuan did not listen to Xiao Wu's sweet talk.

Seeing that Xiao Wu had taken the jade stone, he spread his hands toward them, signaling that they could leave.

He did not intend to send a clone this time; a clone would not be able to exert much combat power in such a place. Since that was the case, it was better to leave everything to the elders of the Holy Spirit Cult and Xiao Wu to handle, while he focused entirely on receiving the inheritance.

Xiao Wu and the two elders of the Holy Spirit Cult finally set off.

However, there was good news: Jialing Pass was not particularly far from the place of the God of Death's inheritance.

Therefore, Xiao Wu and the two elders of the Holy Spirit Cult did not need to spend too much time traveling together this time.

Of course, it would still take some time, more or less.

Meanwhile, outside Jialing Pass.

Because Bibi Dong was unwilling to fight a protracted war of attrition with the Heaven Dou Empire, she chose to take a risk and intercept the supplies before the Heaven Dou Empire's grain reached the front line.

But Yu Xiaogang understood Bibi Dong too well.

He had predicted Bibi Dong's strategy in advance, so he had Tang San and the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils lead many soul masters from the Speed Clan to wait for the rabbit, waiting for the troops sent by Bibi Dong to walk right into the trap.

In the original story, Bibi Dong suffered a great loss because of this surprise attack.

Not only were her troops and horses heavily damaged, but in the end, even one of her important combatants, Chrysanthemum Douluo, died at the hands of Tang San.

At this moment, Tang San and the others were already waiting on the spot. Although they had not yet encountered the army sent by Bibi Dong, they all felt that victory was within their grasp.

Especially Tang San; the excitement in his heart was the most intense.

In his view, this war was the best opportunity for him to make a name for himself and establish his career.

He had already become the Lan Hao King and was even the teacher of the current emperor, Xue Beng.

If he could kill countless enemies and achieve great feats in this war, he would surely be remembered for generations to come and become an object of admiration for future generations.

Thinking of this, a raging fire began to burn in Tang San's eyes.

"This time, I must achieve great success, become world-famous, and let everyone know the power of Tang San!"

"I will kill Bibi Dong, cut off her head, and use it as proof of my dominance!"

"I will make everyone on the Douluo Dalu tremble at the mention of my name! They will know that I, Tang San, am the number one person on the Douluo Dalu!"
