Blood Fiend Secret Realm: A Reunion Between Father and Son

The headquarters of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, the Blood Fiend Secret Realm.

This place is shrouded in Yongheng malevolent energy and bloodlust, permeated with a nauseating smell of rust; every breath feels like swallowing iron filings.

It is said that this place has a negligible benefit in tempering one's mind, but only a slight one. That is why it is specifically used to train the descendants of those Cosmic Venerable and Invincible King.

Every Immortal God who "graduated" from this secret realm turned pale and trembled when talking about it, as if that past was a nightmare they never wanted to remember.

However, if invited by the managers of this secret realm to go back and perform some "role-playing tasks," they would all be very enthusiastic, even volunteering and claiming that they would work overtime for free without pay.

This, perhaps, is what is meant by "deep love".

Deep within the Blood Fiend Secret Realm, at the Exchange Hall.

Tang An, Tang Yiyi, and Tang Guo were standing in front of an exchange counter that was shimmering with a faint light, their faces full of struggle and conflict.

Not long ago, the three of them joined forces and risked their lives to complete an S-level trial mission, finally accumulating an astronomical amount of merit.

The sole purpose of this merit is to exchange it for the "right to live" of one of their parents.

"Brother, should we choose Dad or Mom?" Tang Guo clenched her fist.

"Yes, brother, the three of us each have our own mothers—" Tang Yiyi was also somewhat at a loss.

Tang An remained silent, his gaze sweeping over the two names on the exchange counter. Finally, he gritted his teeth and made his decision. "Choose Dad."

"Why?" Tang Guo asked, puzzled.

"First, if we choose the mother, the three of us will definitely argue, which isn't what we want," Tang An said with unusual calm. "Second, haven't you noticed? It seems that women are treated somewhat more 'favorably' here."

He paused, then added, "And Dad—"

The images that flashed through the minds of the three men simultaneously included a glimpse they had caught on the terminal screen of the guard in black. The once spirited man was now covered in blood, his face unrecognizable, tortured to the point that they could hardly recognize him.

"Most importantly," Tang An said in a deep voice, "So far, Father hasn't given an inch. Those men in black ultimately failed to extract any secrets about the Tang Family from him."

The Tang Family's secret!

The secret that even the evil and mysterious force that exists right under the nose of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank headquarters, the Soul Hall, covets so much—if they could grasp it, perhaps—they could truly escape from this hell on earth!

Hehehe~

A chilling, eerie laugh rang out, like fingernails scraping against glass.

"Time's up, little ones. Have you made your choices? The new trial mission will begin in a moment." In front of the exchange table, a figure shrouded in a black robe slowly turned around.

His face was hidden in the shadow of his hood, making it impossible to see his features. Even his voice and breath seemed to be constantly changing. Only his signature eerie laugh, like a curse, would terrify Tang An and his companions in the middle of the night, sending chills down their spines.

"I've made my choice!"

Without further hesitation, Tang An reached out and tapped the screen heavily.

The next moment, a ripple appeared in the void in front of the exchange platform, and a figure covered in blood and barely breathing was thrown out by an invisible force and slammed heavily onto the cold ground.

Although the man's face was covered in blood and his features were obscured, the familiar silhouette brought Tang Yiyi and Tang Guo to tears instantly.

Dad!

That proud man who was once severely injured on Earth, yet still smiled every day, loved to joke, and seemed oblivious to pain, has now been tormented into this state!

"Dad!" the three exclaimed and rushed over, carefully helping him up.

I don't know how much time passed.

On a simple iron bed, Tang Ping slowly woke up, and what came into view were his two daughters with tearful eyes.

Tang Yiyi was holding a bottle of light green healing potion, carefully wiping the blood off his face; Tang Guo was sitting by the bed, gently massaging his stiff arm with her small hands.

A warm feeling instantly welled up in Tang Ping's heart, and he felt greatly comforted.

"My dear daughters—it's so good—it's good to see you all again—" He grinned, revealing a mouthful of bloody teeth, "Hahaha—how about that? Isn't your dad amazing? As long as I don't utter a single word, they won't kill me easily!"

The laughter aggravated Tang Ping's wounds, causing him to wince in pain and gasp for breath.

Tang Guo rolled her eyes at him and scolded, "Dad, stop being so stubborn! You're injured like this, and you're still talking nonsense! Just stay here and recover properly. From now on—we'll take care of you! We're both at the ninth level of the World Lord Rank now!"

She held up her little fist and waved it in front of Tang Ping's eyes. "Just stay home, don't run around, and don't hold us back!"

"Hehe, great! Great!" Tang Ping nodded repeatedly, laughing heartily. "From now on, I can stay home and cook, clean, and take care of things for you. When I have free time, I can even play some virtual games and live the happy, laid-back life I've always dreamed of! Yay!"

Seeing their father's carefree and optimistic attitude, Tang Guo and Tang Yiyi exchanged a glance, their eyes reddening again.

What a strong-willed person Dad was! What kind of inhuman torture did he endure to make him say something like "I don't want to practice Buddhism"?

Hateful!

Soul Hall!

They must strive to cultivate themselves and become stronger! One day, they will lead their father and completely escape this sea of suffering!

As for the Tang Family's secret----

They believed that their father would tell them when the time was right.

Come on!

At that moment, Tang An and the other two felt as if the flame of hope had been rekindled in their previously bleak lives. They even voluntarily added an hour to their daily monotonous cultivation time.

Next goal: Get all the mothers to redeem theirs too!

Meanwhile, outside the Blood Fiend Secret Realm, in a simple staff dormitory.

Liu Hui dragged his leaden body back step by step.

They had to get up Tiantian to do hard labor, and during the day they had to comprehend the laws under pressure, while the nights were filled with endless training.

He gets a weekly test every week and a monthly test every month. If he fails, he's guaranteed a merciless beating.

He felt he was about to collapse.

Now, his only hope is that his good brother Tang Ping will come and rescue him soon.

Sometimes, he couldn't help but wonder if his current predicament was deliberately orchestrated by Tang Ping to push him and force him to break through to the Immortal Realm through his own efforts.

But is that even possible?

Liu Hui chuckled self-deprecatingly. He was still self-aware enough that breaking through to the World Lord Rank was already a stroke of good fortune.

He didn't even know how he became the Lord of the Realm in such a muddled way.

Pushing open the dormitory door, a musty smell hit me.

Liu Hui habitually rubbed his sore eyes, preparing to meditate and comprehend the laws, and incidentally recover his energy. But the next second, he suddenly froze.

When did an extra bed appear in the dormitory?

And on that bed lay a figure that looked incredibly familiar to him! The person was sleeping soundly with their back to him, a slight smile playing on their lips, as if they were having a sweet dream.

Holy crap!

Liu Hui's mind went blank for a moment, then he burst into an unbelievable surge of joy. He rushed over and shook the person on the bed awake.

"Brother Ping! Brother Ping! Is that you? Is it really you?!"

The person in bed was shaken awake, opened their eyes groggily, and upon seeing Liu Hui, was first taken aback, then gave a smile that was more like a grimace, "Hui Zi? What are you doing here?"

After some questioning, Liu Hui finally understood.

It turns out that his good brother Tang Ping had also been targeted by that evil force called "Soul Hall" and had been captured and brought here to "work" just like him.

Liu Hui initially didn't believe it at all.

He knew Tang Ping too well. This guy was incredibly cunning; how could he be captured so easily? The one in front of him might be a robot created by the Soul Hall using advanced technology, or someone in disguise, just trying to trick him into revealing information!

To verify this, Liu Hui began interrogating them about their "dark history," which only the two of them knew.

"Remember when we were in third grade, we were peeping at the girls from the next class going to the bathroom? You were so nervous, you got caught, remember?"

Do you remember when I was in junior high, I said I'd just have a sip of the soup when we ate noodles, but I ended up drinking the whole thing in one go?

"Besides----"

The more Liu Hui asked, the more detailed the questions became. Even some embarrassing incidents that he himself had almost forgotten, were answered fluently by the "Tang Ping" in front of him.

In the end, they were completely dumbfounded.

But—even Tang Ping has been arrested—does that mean he's truly beyond saving? Isn't the Cosmic Galaxy Bank one of the Five Great Powers of Human Race? How could it allow such a horrifyingly evil organization to exist?

Damn! The sky over this Human Race is too dark!

Before the two good buddies could even put on a tearful, dramatic performance, a piercing assembly whistle rang out outside the dormitory.

A new assessment has begun.

This time, Liu Hui was mentally disoriented and performed poorly, resulting in a sharp drop in his grades.

To his utter surprise, his good friend Tang Ping, who was always a top student and a genius, had even worse grades than him this time!

Watching Tang Ping being dragged out by the men in black and beaten even more severely than himself, Liu Hui stood there, touching his still aching buttocks, and suddenly felt that his current talent might not be so bad after all.

Does Liu Hui also possess the potential to become a powerful figure in this world?

Hehe~
