"What exactly is going on here? Could it be the work of the God of Destruction? No, if it were him, he would have attacked me long ago. Could it be the plane's consciousness?"

Looking at the mere soul fragment occupying his daughter's body on the Douluo Continent, Tang San felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.

He reached out directly through the connection of the Slaughter God's Domain and transmitted his voice to Tang Hao: "Father, has there been any abnormality with the plane's consciousness recently?"

Although it was an honorific, his tone revealed a sense of condescension.

"No. Although the resistance remains intense, I have suppressed it firmly. As long as you bring that Child of Luck into the God Realm and weaken the plane's consciousness, I am confident I can complete the devouring in a short time."

Tang Hao's voice was indifferent, as if he had long been accustomed to Tang San's tone and attitude.

It seems the problem doesn't lie there... Tang San breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, then turned to transmit his voice to the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, who had once sacrificed themselves for him.

"Daming, Erming, tell me, why was Wang Dong's female identity exposed?"

The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, who were holding down the fort at the Clear Sky Sect, shuddered upon hearing Tang San's words, a trace of fear and imperceptible dissatisfaction flashing in their eyes.

Ever since Tang San became a god, they had begun to find him incomprehensible.

Or rather, they had never truly understood him.

Not long ago, Tang San had even split his own daughter's soul, which made their scalps tingle.

They desperately wanted to ask: Tang San, does Sister Xiao Wu know you are treating her daughter this way?

But they dared not.

The two beasts exchanged a glance, and the Sky Azure Bull Python said: "Regarding this matter, I have already asked the higher-ups at Shrek Academy. It was an Outer Courtyard teacher who deduced Xiao Qi's identity through the Radiant Goddess Butterfly martial soul. You know, in the history of the Douluo Continent, the Radiant Goddess Butterfly martial soul has only ever appeared on females."

"Radiant Goddess Butterfly? So that's why..." As Tang San felt slightly relieved, a figure he once respected immensely but now hated to the core surfaced in his mind.

Yu Xiaogang.

Back then, that fellow had taken advantage of his ignorance when he first entered the soul master world, guessing his Twin Martial Souls through sheer blind luck.

Now, history was repeating itself with his own daughter.

"Go, kill the person who leaked Dong'er's identity for me. Immediately, at once."

Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher; to maintain his own image of greatness and righteousness, Tang San had never killed him until the man died of old age.

Instead, he let him become a widely revered master of theory, famous for eternity.

Now that someone similar to Yu Xiaogang had appeared and targeted his daughter's soul fragment, he naturally would not let it go.

"This..." The Titan Giant Ape looked at the Sky Azure Bull Python with some hesitation.

Asking two god-officials to assassinate a Shrek Outer Courtyard teacher with a cultivation level of only sixty-something—was this something a person would do?

The Sky Azure Bull Python waved his hand, signaling him not to say more, and said in a deep voice: "Second Brother, you go. Go and return quickly; do not let anyone discover you."

"I know." Although the Titan Giant Ape was dissatisfied, he knew they could not defy Tang San's orders.

He had no choice but to bow his head and accept.

Just as the Titan Giant Ape went to assassinate the undercover Xu Zhongyi, a soft call rang out behind Tang San: "Third Brother."

Tang San turned around, the ruthlessness, malice, and calculation on his face already vanished, replaced by a doting smile as gentle as a spring breeze: "Xiao Wu, you're here."

The person who arrived wore a pink dress, her long hair braided into a long scorpion braid. With fair skin and a slender waist, her beauty was peerless. Who else could it be but the hundred-thousand-year-old hooligan rabbit from ten thousand years ago, Xiao Wu?

"Mm." Xiao Wu naturally stepped forward to hook her arm into Tang San's, asking with some concern: "What is it, Third Brother? Are you worried about Xiao Qi?"

Tang San nodded and sighed: "Xiao Qi is my daughter after all. Now that she has secretly run down to the lower realm all by herself, how could I, as her father, not be worried?"

"I don't think anything will happen. Xiao Qi has Daming and Erming to look after her. Even if suppressed by the rules of the Douluo Continent, she can still exert the strength of a human Limit Douluo. With Daming and Erming there, there's no need to worry. Let her have a good time; when she gets tired of playing, we can just bring her back to the God Realm. Perhaps by then, Xiao Qi will find a perfect husband just like you, Third Brother. That way, she won't compete for your affection with me, her mother."

At this, Xiao Wu pouted with some dissatisfaction.

"You, oh you. Let's go, I'll spend the day with you."

Perhaps to prevent Xiao Wu from seeing that he had arranged for the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python to assassinate a Shrek Outer Courtyard teacher, or perhaps to keep her from discovering that Wang Dong'er had been reduced to a soul fragment, Tang San stopped paying attention to the Douluo Continent and turned to lead Xiao Wu toward the palace behind him.

As he turned, his thoughts drifted back to the Douluo Continent.

As it stands, although things had deviated from his expectations, Wang Dong was still in the same class as the Child of Luck.

As long as they were in contact for a long time, things would still get back on the track he had planned.

After all, the light attribute of the Radiant Goddess Butterfly martial soul was there; unless there was another light-attribute martial soul in constant contact with Huo Yuhao, it was impossible for anyone to outshine his daughter's soul fragment.

The conversation between Tang San and Xiao Wu did not last long, but a day and a night had already passed on the Douluo Continent.

The next morning.

A piece of news spread throughout the entire Shrek Academy.

The Shrek Academy Outer Courtyard teacher 'Xu Zhongyi' was dead.

He died very strangely, crushed into a pulp of flesh and blood.

Although the higher-ups at Shrek tried their best to suppress the news, the incident still leaked out.

This action directly caused great panic among the students; after all, a teacher at the Soul Emperor level could be killed just like that.

If they, the Outer Courtyard students with cultivation levels generally in the teens or twenties, were targeted, wouldn't they be left without a place to be buried?

In response to this incident, the upper echelons of Shrek entered a state of emergency combat readiness.

They dispatched a large number of Inner Court students and several high-ranking officials at the Titled Douluo level to conduct patrols.

Only then were the restless hearts of the people finally pacified.

"So, he finally died, did he?"

Upon learning the news of the undercover agent Xu Zhongyi's death, Feng Piaoling did not show a look of surprise. After all, that fellow had directly sabotaged the schemes of God King Tang, causing Wang Dong'er to miss her chance with the Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao, and preventing them from living together, which meant they could not deepen their bond.

If he didn't die, who would?

This was also the reason why he had not come forward to point him out personally, but had instead asked Electrolux to help transmit the message.

However, it was clear that Xu Tianran had more than just this one undercover agent under his command; otherwise, the news of Xu Zhongyi's elimination would not have been leaked.

"It seems this Crown Prince does not trust me absolutely after all. Then again, if that weren't the case, he wouldn't have ended up abandoned by all his followers in the end."

"In the end, even the Sun Moon Empire Imperial Offering Hall abandoned him."

"But with things having reached this point, this Crown Prince is likely already dissatisfied with me. Was making such a scene this time meant as a warning to me? Very well, having stayed in this place for so long, it is time for me to return."

Feng Piaoling muttered to himself as he walked into the Class Nine classroom.
