Wang Dong Had Gone Missing

Xu Tianran had come this time to apologize.

He had come to repair their relationship.

Even if he refused to admit that the matter involving the Holy Spirit Cult had been his doing, if this senior said it was, then he had to treat it as though it was.

Therefore, Xu Tianran had brought generous gifts this time.

These so-called generous gifts were naturally the core blueprints for Soul Tools.

They were all precious blueprints for Class 8 and Class 9 Soul Tools.

Obtaining these things had nearly emptied his reserves.

Moreover, he had made concessions in every other aspect before he could exchange for these blueprints.

If Elder Kong had not been in seclusion, he would have desperately sought his help directly.

"Senior..."

Upon seeing Jiang Heng, Xu Tianran hurried forward with small steps, his posture exceedingly respectful.

Although one of his legs had been severed, he had fitted himself with a Soul Tool prosthetic limb again in order to conceal it and prevent the forces he had painstakingly won over from hearing unfavorable rumors.

"Go tend to your business. Once I emerge from seclusion, what you want will be granted."

"However, you had better prepare in advance what you intend to offer in exchange for my helping to treat you this time."

Jiang Heng glanced at the Soul Tool blueprints Xu Tianran had sent over. He was quite satisfied, though nothing showed on his face.

"Thank you for your understanding, Senior!"

Xu Tianran visibly let out a long breath, relieved that he had obtained Jiang Heng's forgiveness.

On the way back, his expression was lighter than ever, until he returned to the Crown Prince Mansion.

Bang!

The rage Xu Tianran had forcibly suppressed the entire way instantly erupted. He violently hurled a nearby vase away.

He had never endured such humiliation.

As the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, he had bowed and scraped before someone else with a smile.

He had already compromised so much and paid such a heavy price.

Yet the other party was still not satisfied.

According to him, the Class 9 Soul Tool core blueprints gathered over these days could only buy his forgiveness. If Xu Tianran wanted him to treat him and reattach that leg, he would have to pay a corresponding price.

The problem was that the leg had been severed by that very person.

He had never seen anyone so brazen and shameless.

After venting the fury in his heart, Xu Tianran finally regained some of his usual gentle demeanor.

"Go. Deliver a ninety-thousand-year right leg bone to Ye Guyi."

Xu Tianran gave the order to his confidant.

The reason was simple.

He felt that when this so-called Crocodile God Douluo treated him later, he might claim his leg and the Soul Bone within it as his own, then demand that Xu Tianran offer something of equivalent value.

Xu Tianran believed the man was fully capable of such a thing.

He was nothing like a Limit Douluo should be in bearing or demeanor.

"Forget it. I'll go myself, and I'll replace that Soul Bone with a hundred-thousand-year one while I'm at it!"

Xu Tianran forcibly endured the rage repeatedly surging through him. In the end, he decided that if he was going to show goodwill, he should do so thoroughly. At the same time, he could use Ye Guyi to deepen his cooperation with this Crocodile God Douluo.

Jiang Heng knew nothing of what Xu Tianran had done. At this moment, he had already decided to enter seclusion and begin crafting the first Class 9 Soul Tool that would truly belong to him.

He had accumulated enough, and his design was nearly complete. All that remained was the final stage of putting it into practice.

This was destined to be a time-consuming process.

While Jiang Heng entered seclusion, two powerful Title Douluo appeared on Douluo Continent. They brazenly entered city after city, recklessly releasing their spiritual power as they searched for the person they sought.

These two Title Douluo were the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Following Tang San's orders, they had gone to Shrek Academy to bring Wang Dong back to the Clear Sky Sect.

They had only been one step too late. Wang Dong had vanished.

They had initially thought she had returned to the Clear Sky Sect, but upon returning to the sect, they discovered that she had not gone back.

She was not at the academy, nor was she in the sect. For a time, both the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python panicked.

They hurried out of the mountains to search.

After searching fruitlessly, they directly ordered the entire Clear Sky Sect to leave the mountain and look for Wang Dong. Even Shrek Academy, under their coercion and pressure, sent people out to search.

Such a massive disturbance drew the attention of every power across the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

They all wondered what Shrek Academy and the Clear Sky Sect, which had emerged from seclusion once more, were doing.

Some took the opportunity to gather information and attempted to win them over, to see whether they could offer any help.

Among them, Xu Jiawei, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, was the most invested.

After confirming that the Clear Sky Sect was searching for a little girl, Xu Jiawei did not know why, but he still mobilized vast manpower and resources to assist in the search. He even deployed the army.

For a time, the entire Douluo Three Kingdoms descended into chaos.

All for the sake of finding one young girl.

Yet that girl seemed to have vanished into thin air. No matter how they searched, they could not find a trace of her.

"Big Brother, contact that person. He should have a way to find Xiao Qi."

After many days of fruitless searching, fearful that Xiao Qi might have encountered some mishap, the Titan Giant Ape had no choice but to ask his big brother to seek that person's help.

"Wait a little longer. If we still haven't found Xiao Qi within three days, I'll contact that person!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python uncharacteristically rejected the Titan Giant Ape's suggestion.

His Second Brother did not know what was going on, but he knew a little more.

He understood clearly just how important Wang Dong was to that person's plans.

If that person found out, given his temperament, he might directly blame the two of them.

As for Wang Dong's safety, he was not worried. After all, that person had left protective measures on her.

Because Erming had a rather explosive temper, Daming had handled all communication and correspondence with Tang San over the years. Thus, he understood better than anyone what sort of person Tang San truly was.

He knew what immense changes had taken place before and after Tang San became a god.

He had secretly reminded Sister Xiao Wu several times, but she had not realized it at all. After that, Daming never brought it up again.

He vaguely sensed that Tang San had lied to them about Xiao Qi. Her disappearance at this time might not necessarily be a bad thing.

It would be better to delay like this and only notify Tang San when they truly could not delay any longer.

One day in the God Realm was one year on Douluo Planet. If they delayed for half a month or half a year in the lower realm, it would be difficult for the God Realm to notice.

When the time came, they could simply say that they had contacted Tang San immediately, but for some reason, the message had not reached him at once.

At this moment, Wang Dong was following someone alone.

It was Tang Ya, her former senior.

For some unknown reason, Tang Ya had suddenly dropped out of school. Wang Dong had never expected that when they met again, it would be under such circumstances.

Tang Ya appeared to have lost herself as she controlled Blue Silver Grass that radiated dark, deathly energy. It pierced directly into a Soul Master's body, frantically devouring the Soul Master's life force and power.

"How could this be..."

Wang Dong stared at the sight in stunned disbelief.

Just as she thought she had concealed herself well, a strand of Blue Silver Grass silently appeared behind her and shot toward her heart.
