Long Xingyu muttered to himself, unable to help but complain.

He truly believed it now; Tang San was indeed the "Child of Destiny."

Just as he prepared to check his own injuries while investigating whether Tang Hao was dead or alive, he sensed new auras.

Six more Tier 9s? Long Xingyu analyzed the intelligence sharply, his brow furrowing as his face twitched involuntarily.

It was just to kill a brat at level thirty or forty! Was this level of absurdity really necessary? Experts were popping up one after another—how was he supposed to complete his mission at this rate!

Thoughts aside, he knew his current state was dire.

Not daring to be arrogant, he decisively chose to abandon the pursuit.

From the perspective of the Holy Demon Federation, they were natural enemies with the natives of Douluo; there was no room for negotiation.

Simply put, he took advantage of the lingering energy disturbances to flee in a different direction, not even having the time to finish off Tang Hao.

This meant that the man who had just detonated his domain, though on the verge of death, had luckily survived and was currently marveling at his own narrow escape.

But for him, the matter was not over; Long Xingyu and the newcomers had a conflict, and in reality, so did he.

"This aura... it's the guys from Martial Soul Hall who came to support the royal family in Heaven Dou City!"

"Cough, cough, no, I must leave while it's chaotic. It will be troublesome if I'm discovered."

Tang Hao endured the agony of the backlash and fled toward the distance, naturally in a direction away from Long Xingyu.

By the time the mist formed by the detonated domain had completely dissipated, both men were nowhere to be seen.

Thousand Jun and Falling Devil were the first to approach, their spiritual power vigilantly covering the surroundings; the more they looked, the more bizarre the battlefield appeared.

This scene didn't look like the kind of commotion Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo could cause; it looked more like the result of two Power Attack System Spirit Masters going all out in a life-or-death struggle.

Before the two could carefully distinguish the clues, they suddenly noticed a figure lying in a crater not far away.

Due to the constant twists in the plan, Long Xingyu hadn't even had the chance to confirm if Tang Hao was dead.

Not to mention dealing with the corpse of Gui Mei; the man, having exhausted his life force, remained in the posture of having his chest pierced through.

"Damn it! We're too late!"

"What on earth happened here before we arrived?"

"Where is Yue Guan? Gui Mei died here, so where did he run off to?"

Although there was always competition and hostility between the Worship Hall and the Pope's faction, they were all members of Martial Soul Hall after all.

Seeing a Titled Elder lying dead in the wilderness for no apparent reason, whether it was Thousand Jun, Falling Devil, Pufferfish, or Snake Lance, all revealed expressions of indignation.

But soon, the group became vigilant again; Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo might not have been incredibly powerful individually, but together they possessed formidable combat strength.

How could they be killed so easily?

The person who attacked them must have been extremely strong!

The only slight surprise was that everyone, including Chen Xin and Yu Yuanzhen, failed to discover the enemy.

It seemed that after the opponent killed Gui Mei, they did not linger in the vicinity, and the trail ended right there.

"Let's go ask Shrek; they should know the inside story. At the very least, we need to determine if this was the work of the Holy Demon Federation."

In an instant, Ning Fengzhi changed his approach. The group came and went in a hurry, hoisting the broken corpse of Gui Mei and immediately turning back the way they came.

The chaos ended there, and the vicinity returned to calm.

But the impact brought about by the great battle had only just begun.

Long Xingyu did not return to the City of Slaughter; this area was closer to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He simply took a detour to enter the Sunset Forest from another direction, and his aura, unique to a Tier 9, was immediately sensed by Chen Zidian.

The next second, he appeared before Long Xingyu, and upon discovering that the son-in-law of the Demon God Emperor was actually quite heavily injured, he hurriedly brought him into the base to rest.

"How did you get like this? Did you run into a strong enemy?" Chen Zidian summoned a priest teammate to use holy power for careful treatment, and only after he had recovered seven or eight parts did he curiously ask.

"Ha! To be precise, I ran into a lunatic who likes to play with explosions at every turn." Long Xingyu responded casually, summarizing the battle from earlier and emphasizing Tang Hao, as that guy had left a deep impression on him.

After chatting, he finally managed to catch his breath.

The mission had failed; he hadn't managed to kill the target, Tang San.

Long Xingyu's face immediately soured, hesitating on how to report it.

Although his father-in-law had said before he left that he should only treat it as an attempt.

But failure was failure; there was no need to make excuses. He bit the bullet and activated the communication magic circle.

"Looking at your expression, you didn't kill Tang San?"

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

On the screen, Lin Feng sat in the Demon Emperor Palace, one hand propping up his chin.

Hearing the report, he wasn't surprised at all; Tang San was notoriously difficult to kill.

He asked with interest, and Long Xingyu dared not hide anything, hurriedly recounting the entire process.

This included information he'd gathered himself: Martial Soul Hall was trying to establish the Douluo Federation, which delayed their actions.

Then there was Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo's misunderstanding, followed by Tang Hao, who loved "explosive art," constantly interfering.

Finally, it even alerted the Heaven Dou Empire, drawing six Title Douluo, which prevented him from continuing the pursuit. He had no choice but to return and report for now.

"I told you long ago this wouldn't be simple. Fine, if I can't kill him once, I'll keep trying!"

"Recently, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the City of Slaughter have been steadily transferring legions. There aren't many important missions in the short term."

"As for Tang San, you can just keep looking for opportunities. If I'm not mistaken, he only has a few places he goes..."

Since he hadn't held out much hope from the very beginning.

Lin Feng's expression remained calm, unfazed by this failure.

Instead, he simply shared the places he remembered Tang San going with Long Xingyu.

For example, the Clear Sky Sect, or Sea God Island... Of course, Tang San no longer had a chance at the City of Slaughter.

After speaking, he casually waved his hand, ending the communication array. Tang San was indeed a hidden danger, but he hadn't grown strong enough yet.

For Lin Feng now, there was a potentially greater threat quietly approaching, capturing all his attention.

"When was this intelligence gathered?"

Lin Feng stood up from his throne and teleported down.

Before him, his Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon personal guard, Huang Shuo, knelt on one knee with a devout expression.

He tightly clutched a parchment scroll filled with classified information, the contents of which were shocking.

"Your Majesty, this is information from half a day ago. Two strange individuals, a man and a woman, deliberately approached Dugu Bo and his granddaughter."

"I found it suspicious, so I used the data access privileges you granted me. But strangely, I couldn't find out their identities."

Huang Shuo's words put Lin Feng on high alert.

The so-called data access privileges referred to the household registration system.

Ever since he unified the Holy Demon Continent and facilitated the coexistence of humans and demons, he had maintained this system.

Logically, any citizen within the Federation, whether human or demon, should have corresponding identity information.

The fact that Huang Shuo couldn't find out anything about a man and a woman was indeed strange; abnormal situations often indicated trouble.

As for why Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were on the Holy Demon Continent, that wasn't surprising; he had personally let them in.

The grandfather and granddaughter had joined the Holy Demon Federation and were naturally very curious, asking to see the place.

Since the large teleportation arrays were already established, he saw it as an opportunity for promotion and agreed to let them visit.

He hadn't expected them to be targeted so quickly? Thinking to himself, Lin Feng had a vague guess. If it was as he suspected, it would be difficult to handle...
