Tang San's Trump Card, Gu Yuena Takes a Risk

In his enormous eyes, the last trace of affection was completely burned away, leaving only the fury of being fooled and betrayed!

"My lord! You actually brought this butcher here?!" The Myriad Demon King's voice was filled with disbelief and rage.

The Scarlet King's three heads simultaneously emitted a low, threatening roar.

They could overlook Gu Yuena's previous betrayal, but bringing that human who clearly enjoyed devouring Soul Beast to the Lake of Life had crossed a line.

The atmosphere, which had just eased somewhat due to their past relationship, instantly became tense and filled with murderous intent!

Chapter 298 Tang San's trump card, Gu Yuena's adventure

Admittedly, if Tang San were only hunting Soul Beast for Soul Ring, although it would arouse the hostility of the Ferocious Beast, it would not be to the point of such deep hatred.

After all, a Soul Master only needs a few Soul Ring; they don't hunt for Soul Rings every day.

However, Tang San's cultivation method involves hunting and devouring the life force and Soul Power of Soul Beast to improve himself. In the minds of Soul Beast, this is no different from those "evil Soul Beast" who slaughter their own kind and plunder their origins!

Moreover, from a bloodline perspective, the term "evil Soul Beast" is indeed not wrong, as Tang San possesses half of the Blue Silver Grass bloodline.

Faced with the suppressed anger of Xiong Jun and the Ferocious Beast as they questioned her, Gu Yuena frowned unhappily.

Throughout her long reign, these subordinates had only absolute obedience to her, never daring to express the slightest doubt or dissatisfaction. Now, having only temporarily pledged allegiance to a new, stronger ruler, how dare they be so disrespectful before her?

She subconsciously glanced at the calm and collected Cai Wenji and Yao beside her, who was blinking her innocent doe eyes and watching the show with an amused expression, and forcibly suppressed her anger that was about to erupt.

Can't beat them...

This is the harsh reality.

Therefore, the deep spatial rift behind her remained open, a backup plan she had prepared for herself.

She cautiously refrained from advancing, ready to retreat and flee far away should the other party show any sign of making a move.

Cai Wenji clearly saw Gu Yuena's posture, ready to slip away at any moment, and was speechless.

This Silver Dragon King seems to have misplaced his skill in spatial manipulation; instead of excelling at attacking and trapping enemies, he has honed his escape skills to an unparalleled level.

Unfortunately, Cai Wenji herself does not possess profound spatial abilities. Unless her physical strength is strong enough to shatter the void with a single punch, it would be difficult for her to stop Gu Yuena, who is determined to escape.

····································

Not daring to unleash her dragon's might to reprimand her subordinates as she usually did, Gu Yuena could only suppress her lingering injuries and reprimand them with a fierce but weak tone, "Shut up! My actions have their reasons; why should I explain them to you..."

"Shut up!"

Before she could finish speaking, Cai Wenji coldly interrupted her. Cai Wenji had no interest in listening to any of her sophistry or condescending remarks; there was no need to communicate with someone whose way of thinking was so different.

The next moment, the melodious Hujia Qin suddenly rang out, and streaks of seven-colored light seemed to come alive as Entanglement around Cai Wenji's petite body. Her posture instantly changed, becoming agile and full of power, with bulging muscle lines that did not lose their beauty.

"Boom!"

The ground beneath their feet collapsed, creating a huge crater. Cai Wenji's figure vanished from her original spot and appeared before Gu Yuena as if by teleportation! A pale hand, yet containing terrifying power, claw-shaped, reached for Gu Yuena's shoulder, attempting to forcibly pull her out of the spatial rift!

Gu Yuena's pupils contracted sharply, her heart filled with both shock and anger.

She clearly came to negotiate this time with "sincerity" (in her opinion), and compared to the last conflict, she had already been "humble" enough. Why did this guy attack her again without saying a word?!

However, her extensive experience in escaping made her body's instincts faster than her thoughts. Almost as if her muscles were reacting, she retreated rapidly, and at the same time, her right hand was instantly covered with dazzling silver dragon scales, transforming into a sharp dragon claw, which retaliated by grabbing at Cai Wenji's wrist, attempting to deflect the attack.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, her dragon claw did not touch Cai Wenji's wrist, but was steadily blocked by a thin, seemingly fragile light blue defensive shield that suddenly appeared.

"Whee!"

A sweet laugh rang out, and Yao, a silver-haired, antler-adorned girl, appeared, floating in a semi-transparent spirit form on Cai Wenji's shoulder. She made a face at Gu Yuena, her eyes filled with a smug "you can't hit me" expression.

This playful laugh was like adding fuel to the fire, causing the veins on Gu Yuena's forehead to bulge.

In the split second that she was distracted by Yao's interference, Cai Wenji's hand flipped strangely and precisely grabbed Gu Yuena's dragon claw wrist!

An irresistible force pulled her forward violently!

Immediately afterwards, Cai Wenji's other fist, like a cannonball, slammed solidly into Gu Yuena's unsuspecting abdomen!

"Well!"

A sharp pain instantly swept through her body. Gu Yuena groaned, her blood surging, and she almost vomited blood on the spot.

Cai Wenji, pressing her advantage, was about to continue her pursuit and completely capture Gu Yuena.

However, at that moment, a powerful pulling force suddenly emanated from the spatial rift behind Gu Yuena, as if an invisible hand was forcibly pulling her in!

"Whoosh!"

Gu Yuena's figure instantly disappeared into the dark rift, which then rapidly closed and vanished as if it had never existed.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Xiong Jun, Myriad Demon King, and the other Ferocious Beast stared in disbelief, their minds still reeling.

How... how did they suddenly start fighting again?

Although they were dissatisfied with Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King's lingering influence meant they instinctively dared not easily attack Gu Yuena.

As it turned out, the new leader was even more ruthless than they had imagined. Without saying a word, he immediately started fighting and almost captured the former leader on the spot!

Cai Wenji flicked her wrist, glanced at the still somewhat bewildered Ferocious Beast, and said in a calm but undeniable tone, "Remember, from now on, Gu Yuena is the enemy. When you see her, there's no need for words, just attack."

····································

On the other side of the spatial rift lies a desolate valley.

Gu Yuena's silver dragon tail seemed to have a life of its own, tightly Entanglement the trunk of a towering ancient tree that required several people to encircle. It was precisely because of this pre-planned contingency plan that the enormous pulling force generated at the last moment was able to forcibly pull her back from Cai Wenji's grasp.

She landed on the ground, panting, her dragon tail loosened, still shaken.

Even she herself didn't expect that this extra layer of insurance would actually save her life.

Tang San, who had been brought out with her, opened his eyes groggily, tormented by both spatial traversal and his injuries. His gaze was unfocused, clearly not fully conscious, but his survival instinct and deeply ingrained determination made him instinctively say, "Gu Yuena... go... to... Sunset Forest... the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well... the Immortal Herb... can save us..."

He repeated himself haltingly, and as if to increase his persuasiveness, he began to deliberately describe the miraculous properties of the Immortal Herb, his voice weak yet alluring. "The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum... Indestructible... Promotes smooth flow of qi and blood..."

"Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid... strengthening the foundation and nourishing the vital energy... removing impurities..."

"The Aromatic Silk Beauty... absorbing the essence of heaven and earth... the radiance of the Sun Moon Empire..."

"And... the Earth Dragon Golden Melon... yes! The Earth Dragon Golden Melon... can... purify and enhance the Dragon Clan bloodline... which will greatly benefit you..."

He knew exactly what Gu Yuena desired most, so he emphasized the effects of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. Sure enough, upon hearing that it could enhance the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, Gu Yuena's amethyst-like eyes instantly lit up, and her breathing quickened, clearly showing her great interest.

However, the losses they suffered at the hands of Cai Wenji and the Spirit Hall in the past were not without effect.

Gu Yuena's remaining rationality warned her that with so many rare treasures of heaven and earth, the Spirit Hall Empire had occupied the area for a long time, and the guards must be extremely tight. Going there in her current severely injured state would be tantamount to walking into a trap, which would be extremely dangerous!

Seeing the hesitation and struggle on Gu Yuena's face, Tang San was extremely anxious.

He felt his physical condition deteriorating rapidly and feared he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

We must persuade Gu Yuena!

With gritted teeth, he unleashed his final, and most crucial, "trump card"—one that he believed Gu Yuena absolutely could not refuse!

"Na'er ... think about it... Wulin ... my son... Tang Wulin ..." His voice was weak, yet every word pierced the heart, "If I... die here... Wulin ... will never... be born... and you... will never see... him again..."

Tang Wulin!

The name struck Gu Yuena like a thunderclap!

The man who occupied the most important place in the fragments of her memory and the depths of her emotions!

The lover she longed for day and night, the one she was willing to give everything to protect!

If Tang San dies now, then the future Tang Wulin will truly never exist!

This possibility instantly overwhelmed Gu Yuena, the persona of the Life Goddess, with immense panic.

The last vestiges of reason vanished instantly.

"Okay... I'll go!" She suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with determination. "For Wulin's sake, I will definitely get the Immortal Herb to save you!"

She agreed!

However, deep within her spiritual world, the true consciousness belonging to the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena was now seething with killing intent!

She coldly observed the persona of someone blinded by "love" in the outside world, and watched Tang San exploit her weaknesses and push her into danger.

'Fool! Are you really going to throw your life away for some vague, uncertain future lover?'

' Tang San... you deserve to die! How dare you use 'me' like this!'

The Silver Dragon King's consciousness roared in anger, but she was currently dominated by her life personality and could not directly intervene.

She could only wreak havoc in her mental world.

····································

Time was of the essence, and Gu Yuena had no time to make thorough preparations.

After settling Tang San in a relatively secluded and safe cave on the outskirts of Sunset Forest, she sneaked alone to the vicinity of the heavily guarded Herb Garden of the Spirit Hall Empire.

Just as Tang San had predicted, the Spirit Hall Empire valued this treasure land highly.

The outer perimeter is covered by an even more dangerous poisonous miasma, improved by Bian Que, while inside, the faint glow of the Soul Tool detection array can be seen.

Not to mention the several hidden yet powerful auras— the Titled Douluo on duty in shifts, and the heroes who occasionally come to patrol.

The entire Herb Garden can be described as an impregnable fortress.

Inside the fortress, several Martial Soul Master with plant-type Martial Souls were carefully channeling their Soul Power to nourish the garden's exotic flowers and plants.

A young man with short blond hair, carrying a medicine chest, was intently checking the quality of the latest batch of medicinal herbs; this was Bian Que.

Amidst this orderly scene—

"Sizzle!"

Above the Herb Garden, space was forcibly torn apart like a piece of cloth!

A silver figure burst forth like a meteor, its target the spiritually rich "immortal Immortal Herb" below!

It was Gu Yuena!

She had no idea about the specific effects of these Immortal Herb, and could only rely on instinct to choose a plant that was planted alone in an open space, with a beautiful shape and the purest and strongest energy fluctuations.

In her view, something that could be treated so specially must be an extremely precious "Immortal Herb"!
