The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python

"What on earth is going on? Could the God of Destruction have done this? No, if it had been him, he would have made his move against me long ago. Could it be the plane's consciousness?"

Looking at that mere fragment of a soul occupying his daughter's body on Douluo Continent, Tang San found himself more and more displeased.

He immediately used the connection between their Divine Slaughter's Domains to send a telepathic message to Tang Hao. "Father, has the plane's consciousness shown any signs of abnormality lately?"

Though he addressed him respectfully, his words and tone revealed a sense of superiority.

"No. Though the resistance is still fierce, I've got it firmly under control. Once you guide that Child of Destiny into the Divine Realm and weaken the plane's consciousness, I'll be confident I can devour it in a short time."

Tang Hao's voice was indifferent, as though he had long since grown used to Tang San's tone and attitude.

So the problem wasn't there... Tang San breathed a quiet sigh of relief, then sent a telepathic message 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 identity as a girl exposed?"

The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, who were stationed at the Clear Sky Sect, heard Tang San's words and stiffened. A trace of fear and barely perceptible resentment flashed in their eyes.

Ever since Tang San became a god, they had found him impossible to understand.

Or rather, they had never understood him.

Not long ago, Tang San had even split his own daughter's soul apart, leaving them both horrified.

They wanted to ask, Tang San, do you think Sister Xiao Wu knows what you're doing to her daughter?

But they didn't dare.

The two beasts exchanged a glance. The Sky Azure Bull Python said, "I've already asked the Shrek Academy leadership about this. It was an Outer Courtyard teacher. He saw through Xiao Qi's identity because of her Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul. You know the Light Goddess Butterfly has appeared only in women throughout the history of Douluo Continent."

"The Light Goddess Butterfly? So that's why..." Tang San felt somewhat reassured, but a figure surfaced in his mind—a man he had once held in the highest regard, and now hated to the utmost.

Yu Xiaogang.

Back then, that bastard had taken advantage of Tang San's ignorance when he had first entered the Soul Master World and, by sheer luck, guessed that he had Twin Martial Souls.

Now history had repeated itself with his daughter.

"Go. Kill the person who exposed Dong'er's identity. Right now. Immediately."

Yu Xiaogang had been Tang San's teacher. To preserve his own righteous image, Tang San hadn't killed him, even after Yu Xiaogang had died of old age.

Instead, he had let him become a revered master of theory, his name immortalized for all time.

Now someone like Yu Xiaogang had appeared and discovered his daughter's soul fragment. Naturally, Tang San wouldn't let him live.

"This..." The Titan Giant Ape hesitated and looked at the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Was it really right for two divine attendants to assassinate an Outer Courtyard teacher from Shrek Academy whose strength was only a little over sixty levels?

The Sky Azure Bull Python waved a hand, signaling it not to say more, then said gravely, "Second, you go. Come back as soon as you're done, and don't let anyone find out."

"I understand." Though the Titan Giant Ape was dissatisfied, it knew they couldn't disobey Tang San's orders.

It could only lower its head and agree.

Just as the Titan Giant Ape set off to assassinate the undercover agent Xu Zhongyi, a soft voice sounded behind Tang San. "Third Brother."

Tang San turned around. The viciousness, malice, and scheming had vanished from his face, replaced by a doting smile as gentle as a spring breeze. "Xiao Wu, you're here."

The woman wore a pink dress, her long hair braided into a thick scorpion braid. Her skin was fair, her dress cinched at the waist, and her beauty was breathtaking. Who else could she be but Xiao Wu, the hundred-thousand-year-old hooligan rabbit from ten thousand years ago?

"Mm." Xiao Wu naturally stepped forward and took Tang San's arm. With a hint of worry, she asked, "What is it, Third Brother? Are you worried about Xiao Qi?"

Tang San nodded and sighed. "Xiao Qi is my daughter, after all. Now she's snuck down to the lower realm all by herself. How could I, as her father, not worry?"

"I don't think anything will happen to her. Daming and Erming are looking after her, and even under Douluo Continent's rules, she can still wield the strength of a human Limit Douluo. With Daming and Erming there, there's nothing to worry about. Just let her have a good time. Once she's had enough, we can bring her back to the Divine Realm. Who knows? By then, Xiao Qi might even find herself a good husband like you, Third Brother. Then she won't have to compete with me, her mother, for your affection."

At that, Xiao Wu pouted, displeased.

"You..." Tang San said. "Come on. I'll spend the day with you."

Perhaps he didn't want Xiao Wu to see him sending the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python to assassinate an Outer Courtyard teacher from Shrek Academy. Or perhaps he didn't want her to discover that Wang Dong'er had already been split into three.

Tang San stopped paying attention to Douluo Continent and turned, leading Xiao Wu toward the divine palace behind him.

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

So far, though things had deviated somewhat from what he had expected, Wang Dong was still in the same class as the Child of Destiny.

Given enough time together, things would still fall back onto the path he had planned.

After all, the Light attribute of the Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul was right there. Unless a Light-attribute Martial Soul stayed by Huo Yuhao's side day and night, it would be impossible to outcompete his daughter's soul fragment.

Tang San and Xiao Wu's conversation didn't last long, but a day and a night had already passed on Douluo Continent.

The following morning.

A piece of news spread throughout Shrek Academy.

Xu Zhongyi, a teacher at Shrek Academy's Outer Courtyard, was dead.

His death was bizarre: he had been crushed into a pulp.

Though Shrek Academy's leadership did everything they could to suppress the news, it still got out.

This caused tremendous panic among the students. After all, even a teacher at the Soul Emperor level could be killed just like that.

What hope did Outer Courtyard students, most of whom were only in their teens or twenties, have of escaping with their lives?

To deal with the incident, Shrek Academy's leadership went on high alert.

They dispatched large numbers of Inner Courtyard students and several Titled Douluo-level leaders to patrol the grounds.

Only then did they manage to calm the restless students.

"So he really did die?"

When Feng Piaoling heard that the undercover agent Xu Zhongyi had died, he showed no surprise. After all, the man had directly ruined that God King Tang's plans, making Wang Dong'er miss her chance with the Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao. They couldn't live together, which meant their feelings couldn't grow.

If he didn't die, who would?

That was also why Feng Piaoling hadn't come forward himself to point out the culprit, but had instead asked Electrolux to send a telepathic message.

Clearly, Xu Tianran had other undercover agents working for him. Otherwise, news of Xu Zhongyi's death wouldn't have gotten out.

"It seems the Crown Prince doesn't trust me completely. Well, if he did, he wouldn't have ended up abandoned by everyone in the end."

"In the end, even the Sun Moon Empire Imperial Offering Hall gave up on him."

"But now, that Crown Prince has probably started to resent me. Was making such a commotion this time meant to warn me? Fine. I've been here long enough. It's time I went back."

Murmuring to himself, Feng Piaoling walked into the Class Nine classroom.
