King of Slaughter: Tang Chen Must Be My Mortal Enemy! Just Hearing His Name Gives Me a Headache!

Worship Hall.

Although Qian Daoliu had expected this, he still felt a little disappointed when he saw the answer for himself.

If Tang Chen was dead, would that make him the strongest Soul Master alive?

Or had he judged things wrong, and was he actually the strongest Soul Master all along?

But as the answer was revealed, that last glimmer of hope disappeared completely...

"Just as I thought. Just as I thought."

"When I fought him back then, I won less often than I lost. Tang Chen reached level 99 without relying on a Godhood Inheritance. I can't compare to that kind of talent."

"Now that the answer's been revealed, it seems that fellow is still alive."

"Thankfully, I never acted against the Clear Sky Sect all these years. Tang Chen... where are you now?"

Sea God Island.

Seahorse Douluo, Sea Dragon Douluo, and several other Titled Douluo stared fixedly at Bo Saixi.

None of them had expected the answer's reveal to leave Bo Saixi so shaken.

At that moment, Bo Saixi was staring at the Light Screen, where Tang Chen's peerless bearing was reflected.

Just one glance, and Bo Saixi felt her heart stir and her pulse quicken.

"T-Tang Chen..."

"You're not dead. You're still alive!"

"You're still alive!"

"Back then, you misunderstood and left without a word to seek a Godhood Inheritance. I've been waiting for you all these years."

"My heart has belonged to you for a long time. I don't need any godhood. I don't need you to become a god. I only need you to come back to me!"

"Tang Chen, where are you? After all these years, have you really not missed me even once? Have you never thought of coming back to see me?!"

As she spoke, Bo Saixi felt an unbearable pain twist through her heart.

Seahorse Douluo and the others hurried over. "Elder?"

"Elder, are you all right?"

Bo Saixi only waved a hand. Even with her heart aching as if it were being torn apart, she kept her eyes fixed on the Light Screen, not daring to look away for even a moment.

On the way back to the arena.

"Tang Chen?" Tang San had never returned to the Clear Sky Sect, so he was completely confused.

"Who's Tang Chen? Is he from the Clear Sky Sect too? Does Dad know him?"

"He's actually a Peak Douluo at level 99. Sounds pretty impressive. I wonder if I can find him. If I could get him to back me up someday..."

"Then I'd be all set to rise up and grow stronger, wouldn't I?"

Not far away.

When Tang Hao saw the answer on the Light Screen, he was just as shocked.

"What? It really is our ancestor, Tang Chen?"

"Damn, I thought Ancestor Tang Chen had died long ago, so I didn't choose him for this answer!"

"But he's still alive? How many years has he lived?"

"Can a level 99 Titled Douluo really live that long?"

Then Tang Hao suddenly thought of something and blurted out:

"Hey, I was expelled from the Clear Sky Sect for injuring Qian Xunji."

"I haven't had a chance to return all these years... If I can find Ancestor Tang Chen, will I have earned enough merit to go home?"

"Good! Great!"

At that thought, Tang Hao's expression brightened at once.

"That's right. As long as I find Ancestor Tang Chen, I can show him my talent and earn his regard!"

"Then let's see who in the whole Clear Sky Sect would dare refuse me!"

"I, Tang Hao, have to return to the Clear Sky Sect with my head held high and show those elders that I did nothing wrong and committed no crime!"

With that in mind, Tang Hao couldn't be bothered to look for Xiao Wu anymore. He decided to add another goal for the future: find his ancestor first.

Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Xiao and the others had also been competing and answering questions. But as soon as this answer appeared, the whole Clear Sky Sect erupted.

Tang Xiao was seated in the main chair. When he saw the answer, he learned that the strongest Soul Master alive was none other than their ancestor, Tang Chen!

Tang Xiao shot to his feet, overwhelmed with excitement.

"What!"

"Ancestor Tang Chen is still alive? He never died!?"

"Ancestor Tang Chen had level 99 Soul Power and was invincible under heaven. He didn't even fear Spirit Hall. If Ancestor Tang Chen had been with us back then, we never would've needed to shut ourselves away!"

"By my order, starting today, the Clear Sky Sect will gradually reopen its gates. Send people out at once to search for Ancestor Tang Chen!"

"Once we find Ancestor Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect will lift its seal and return to the world!"

At that, the elders nearby were thrilled as well. Who didn't know how formidable Tang Chen was?

The elders had been waiting for this day for ages. The Q&A Game had told them Tang Chen was still alive—that was the best news they could have hoped for.

The elders immediately agreed.

"Excellent!"

"Find Ancestor Tang Chen!"

"Find Ancestor Tang Chen!"

For a time, the entire Clear Sky Sect was filled with excitement and anticipation, as if their return to the world was just around the corner!

An unknown place.

Di Tian searched around for Song Ye, but then saw the answer in the sky.

"Tang Chen? So he's the strongest human Soul Master alive, someone who reached level 99 without relying on a Godhood Inheritance?"

"Looks like there's another human I'll have to keep an eye on..."

Slaughter City.

The King of Slaughter stared intently at the Light Screen and naturally saw the answer—and the man called Tang Chen.

For some reason, when the King of Slaughter saw Tang Chen on the Light Screen, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Tang Chen?"

"Tang Chen?"

"Why does seeing this man and hearing his name give me such a headache? It's as if he has something to do with me?"

"Could I have met this Tang Chen before?"

The more the King of Slaughter thought about it, the worse his headache became. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Damn it, Tang Chen must be this king's mortal enemy!"

"Otherwise, why would just hearing his name make me suffer so much?"

"Tang Chen, you'd better show up in the next question too. This king wants to find out just what you are—and what you have to do with me!"

The King of Slaughter muttered to himself, never taking his eyes off the Light Screen. He watched even more intently.

As it happened, he was hoping the next question would be about Tang Chen.

By sheer coincidence, the next question soon appeared, and it was indeed about Tang Chen.

On the Light Screen.

A new question took shape amid the emotions of countless people:

[Tang Chen, the strongest human Soul Master alive, possessed extraordinary strength and was undefeated in his life. Only Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu could stand against him!]

[Unfortunately, although Tang Chen was a powerful Soul Master, he had no need to worry about his strength. Yet he was lonely and troubled, and faced emotional difficulties of his own!]

[His emotional struggles even led him down a path of no return, affecting his eventual fate until he all but vanished from sight!]

[Question: What was Tang Chen's final fate? If he died, how did he die?]

This question directly followed on from the previous one. The first had established Tang Chen as the strongest of his time, and the next asked about the fate of this strongest man.

Many people were surprised when they saw the question. It seemed that this powerful Soul Master's fate wasn't a happy one.
