Yu Zhi: Danzo, Are You Throwing the Match?

"Holy Son has his eye on what Shimura Danzō obtained from Tang San!" Ghost Douluo said flatly.

Hu Liena pressed, "Is it the Clear Sky Sect's inheritance?"

"Not that." Bibi Dong shook her head and slowly said, "It is the inheritance of an otherworldly force called the Tang Sect. Yu Zhi has a sharp eye; he understands that this foundation from another world is of immeasurable value."

"But it's still too dangerous! Too reckless! Once he returns, wouldn't it be the same to capture Tang San immediately and force the inheritance out of him?" Bibi Dong was somewhat angry.

After all, Tang San had shown everyone through his actions that the dungeon was not without danger. Once captured, he would be unable to live or die!

The others in the hall nodded as well!

But if Yu Zhi knew about this, he would only laugh.

With Spirit Hall's manhunt efforts, who knew what year they would find Tang San!

And what if, after returning to the Douluo Continent, Tang San's protagonist aura kicked in and he pulled some other stunt?

Clear Sky Sect

At this moment, all the elders and core disciples looked up at the Sky Screen, the atmosphere taut.

Only Tang Xiao stared at the newly appeared explanation of Izanami on the Sky Screen before suddenly bursting into hearty laughter. The stifling frustration and dejection from being eliminated from the Sky Screen dungeon earlier were swept away at once.

The Seventh Elder beside him frowned and asked in confusion, "Sect Master, why are you so delighted? Izanami may be heaven-defying, but it is ultimately Ninjutsu from another world. It has nothing to do with our Clear Sky Sect!"

He even suspected that Tang Xiao had gone mad. If not for Tang Xiao's ridiculous stunt, they would not have been eliminated so quickly. Otherwise, the Clear Sky Sect might have had a chance at this heaven-defying divine art as well.

And he still had the nerve to laugh?!

The other elders also turned to look at him, their faces full of confusion.

Only the First Elder stood silently with profound eyes, as if he had already seen through the crux of the matter.

Tang Xiao swept his gaze over everyone and sighed inwardly. Luckily, the sect was not entirely made up of simple-minded brutes. At least someone could still see the situation clearly.

He reined in his laughter, a cold calculating gleam rising in his eyes. "I am not laughing because of how powerful the forbidden technique is. I am laughing because Spirit Hall is about to fall into internal strife!"

The moment those words fell, all the elders froze, their faces filled with astonishment.

Before anyone could question him, Tang Xiao continued in a deep voice, "Yu Zhi holds the complete set of Uchiha Ninjutsu and has even obtained the method to cultivate Izanami. It may look as though he has made a fortune, but do not forget—the Sharingan and forbidden techniques that govern life and death. Who on the entire continent would not covet them?"

"This is not an opportunity at all. It is a death warrant!"

The Seventh Elder hesitated. "But he is the Martial Soul Hall Saint. With Bibi Dong protecting him, who would dare make a move against him?"

"Protect him?" Tang Xiao sneered, his voice icy to the bone. "Do you truly think Bibi Dong would sincerely protect him? With power this heaven-defying, Bibi Dong would likely be the first to try seizing it! She knows better than anyone what it means to raise a tiger only to invite disaster!"

Everyone's hearts jolted, and they understood at once.

At that moment, the silent First Elder slowly spoke, his voice dry and weighty. "Sect Master, the reason for your delight likely has a second layer—one related to Tang San, correct?"

"That's right! Tang San possesses an inheritance from another world! As long as we can persuade Tang San to acknowledge his roots and return to the Clear Sky Sect, this otherworldly foundation will become the property of our Clear Sky Sect!" Tang Xiao revealed his ultimate goal!

As soon as those words were spoken, every elder's expression turned solemn, and they all furrowed their brows.

Everyone heard the implication.

If Tang San returned to the sect, then Tang Hao, who had committed that grave mistake all those years ago, would inevitably return with him.

The elders were deeply resistant to the idea. From the bottom of their hearts, they did not wish to accept that father and son who had brought shame upon the Clear Sky Sect and burdened it with disgrace.

But the otherworldly inheritance was indeed tempting, and their resistance was instantly suppressed by the enormous benefits.

After hesitating for a long time, the Seventh Elder could not help but question, "Sect Master, even so... Tang San's nature is unknown. Will he truly be willing to hand everything over to the sect?"

Tang Xiao looked utterly certain, his tone brimming with confidence. "He absolutely will! Brother Hao raised Little San from childhood. He must be kind-hearted, loyal, and deeply attached to his clan! As long as our Clear Sky Sect opens its gates to him, he will surely return to the sect in loyalty and offer up the inheritance!"

Seeing their sect master speak with such certainty and confidence, the elders exchanged glances, temporarily suppressing their doubts as they silently nodded.

The Sky Screen's display continued. Hidden in the shadows, Yu Zhi could barely conceal his excitement when he saw Shimura Danzō appear again.

"I finally forced that old bastard to use Izanagi! Old Poisoner, it's our turn next."

Dugu Bo stared in disbelief. He had clearly watched Danzo die just moments ago, yet now the man had come back to life out of nowhere. It was far too bizarre.

"This is the Ninjutsu you were so determined to obtain? It can even reverse death?"

"We'll talk about it afterward. It's time for you to take the stage!"

Just as Danzo stepped forward, intending to take the chance to finish Fugaku off, a tyrannical force suddenly crashed into him head-on. Danzo was instantly sent flying through the air.

"Who was that? Could it be Orochimaru?"

Fugaku, clutching his wound, immediately stopped using Izanami and fixed his gaze tightly on the battlefield.

A massive exotic beast over thirty meters long came into view. It resembled a snake, yet not quite, and radiated a vicious, intimidating aura.

"It is this old man."

The one who appeared was Dugu Bo, who had activated his Martial Soul Avatar and transformed into the Jade Scale Dragon King.

Danzo landed awkwardly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and revealed a savage gleam in his eyes as he demanded, "Not Orochimaru, but a force from another continent! Fugaku Uchiha, it seems you have indeed colluded with forces from another continent! What else do you have to say for yourself?"

Fugaku had no desire to explain himself. By now, his hatred for Danzo ran to the bone.

One Sharingan and Izanami were already more than enough to explain everything!

Seeing that Fugaku no longer bothered to defend himself, Shimura Danzō turned toward the mountain-like Jade Scale Dragon King, a cold smile curling across his lips.

"So, it is a giant serpent-type Martial Soul? In that case, I will use a giant beast of the same level to face you!"

He rapidly formed hand seals with one hand and shouted in a low voice, "Summoning Jutsu!"

Amid a surge of white mist, the strangely shaped Dream Tapir descended with a thunderous crash.

With an elephant trunk, rhinoceros eyes, tiger claws, and an ox tail, its dark orange body was broad and powerful. Layers of bandages wrapped around its head, thick armor protruded from the bridge of its nose, and its overall size was no smaller than Fugaku Uchiha's Susanoo from earlier.

The instant the Dream Tapir landed, it threw open its massive maw. Violent suction swept through the area, dragging surrounding rubble and broken trees toward its mouth as it targeted the Jade Scale Dragon King formed by Dugu Bo, intending to forcibly pull its opponent over.

Dugu Bo snorted inwardly, thinking the other side was an idiot!

A black Spirit Ring suddenly lit up as his ninth Soul Skill erupted without restraint.

"Jade Phosphorus World Annihilation!"

A torrent of dark green poison, black with density, surged forth like a tsunami and blanketed the Dream Tapir.

Such poisonous mist would normally have spread across half a village, yet now it was all drawn away by the Dream Tapir's suction and swallowed into its belly in one gulp.

In only moments, the Dream Tapir, which had been so imposing just before, began convulsing violently. Its massive body crashed to the ground as the deadly poison spread through it, killing it on the spot.

Hidden in the shadows, Yu Zhi stared dumbfounded.

"Seriously, bro? If other people saw this, they'd think we were throwing the match! It's not like I paid for a boost!"
