Filling the Plot Hole: Su Yuntao and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger That Devoured Lone Bamboo

"How do you get a Soul Beast to Sacrifice itself? Fall in love with a shapeshifting Soul Beast?"

Bibi Dong watched in amazement and made a casual guess.

As far as she could recall, that seemed to be the only way. Tang Hao had tried it—and succeeded.

[Generally speaking, getting a Soul Beast to Sacrifice itself was extremely difficult.

But thanks to her advantage of knowing what lay ahead, Bibi Dong knew that if she could fuse with the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone from the right leg of the shapeshifting Soul Beast Ah Yin, she could make the Blue Silver King, who was fiercely loyal to the Blue Silver Emperor, Sacrifice itself.

The Blue Silver King was not as powerful as Ah Yin, who could take human form, but it still had eighty-five thousand years of cultivation.

An eighty-five-thousand-year First Soul Ring—no one would break that record for the next ten thousand years.]

Xiao Wuji nodded slightly. He had judged that number with great precision. After all, the Tang Sect hadn't even been founded yet, and Huo Yuhao wouldn't break the record for more than ten thousand years.

[As it happened, through her past investigations, Bibi Dong had learned that Ah Yin's Hundred Thousand Year right leg Soul Bone hadn't been fused with by Tang Hao. He had hidden it away.

And its location was behind a waterfall in a valley near Holy Soul Village. The Blue Silver King, with eighty-five thousand years of cultivation, was also nearby.]

"Ah!" Bibi Dong couldn't help but gasp.

She was thrilled—absolutely thrilled.

Once again, she had received an extraordinary piece of guidance.

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and an eighty-five-thousand-year Soul Ring. She could obtain them just by reading some words.

"I'm going to cultivate a god!" Bibi Dong declared, brimming with ambition. In this life, she had every advantage. She would make sure that, as she became a god, her exceptionally gifted and utterly loyal disciple would become one, too.

Xiao Wuji's expression shifted. "Careful what you say. That damned god, Yu Xiaogang, might destroy our Spirit Hall."

["The only trouble now is Tang Hao. A Soul Beast's Sacrifice causes a huge disturbance, and Tang Hao will definitely sense it in Holy Soul Village." Bibi Dong twirled a lock of hair that fell before her and began to reminisce.]

"So Tang Hao is in Holy Soul Village. I wonder how strong he is now..." Bibi Dong pondered briefly, then shook her head.

Whatever Tang Hao's strength, she didn't want to fight him while she was undergoing a divine trial.

[After a quarter of an hour, Bibi Dong finally settled on a plan. "By my reckoning, Tang Hao will leave Holy Soul Village three months after Wuji's Martial Soul Awakening. That will be the moment to make our move."]

Bibi Dong looked over the arrangements she'd made and nodded slightly.

Setting aside the time needed to fuse with the Head Soul Bone, she still had more than two months before Tang Hao left.

In her previous life, she had owed Wuji too much. She could use these next two months to make it up to him, little by little.

After finishing the chapter, Bibi Dong turned the page, and her expression grew animated.

[Chapter 8: Go Work for the Spirit Hall, Tang San! Promote Su Yuntao]

"That Sea God and Asura God, working as a blacksmith for the Spirit Hall?" Bibi Dong smiled. Her eyes fell on the last name, and she mused, puzzled, "Who's Su Yuntao? He looks like he should be from the Spirit Hall."

"So this fills the plot hole from earlier." Xiao Wuji smiled, too. He had promised to get Brother Tao promoted, and now he could make good on that promise.

Bibi Dong read on carefully, and only then did she understand everything.

It turned out that Tang San was a work-study student at Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy. To make ends meet, he worked as a blacksmith at a forge in Nuoding City.

He was Tang Hao's son and had learned Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. With it, he could remove as many impurities as possible from metal.

So she promoted a deacon named Su Yuntao from the Spirit Hall in Nuoding City and ordered him to buy the forge and turn it into a dedicated iron-ore refining workshop.

That way, every piece of iron ore Tang San refined would not only mean he was working for the Spirit Hall, but also provide the Spirit Hall with high-quality materials for forging weapons.

"Tang San..." Bibi Dong gave a cold laugh. Though she knew where her future enemy was, she had no intention of killing him outright just yet.

First, if she killed Tang San, the Sea God and Asura God could simply choose another successor. Killing him might also cost her the advantage of knowing what lay ahead, leaving her ignorant of who her future enemies were and what they would do.

Second, the Divine Realm, which cheated and played favorites, was the real enemy. Killing Tang San wouldn't solve the problem at its root.

With the troubles weighing on her mind resolved—and with an unexpected gain besides—Bibi Dong finally relaxed and went to bathe in peace.

[Finished reading the latest chapter of Rakshasa Rebirth: Bibi Dong.]

[Read count: 34.]

To ensure the reader's experience, Xiao Wuji had updated Tang Hao's story without taking his eyes off the screen.

"A farewell?!" At the sight of the long-awaited update, Tang Hao, reeking of alcohol, sat bolt upright in bed and read the latest chapter by moonlight.

Xiao Wuji watched from afar. Since Tang San had awakened the fatherly Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao would be watching him from the shadows.

He recounted Yu Xiaogang's explanation outside Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy, where he deduced that Tang San had Twin Martial Souls, along with what followed. Only at the end did he write about Tang Hao bidding Yu Xiaogang farewell.

"Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang is at Notting Academy!" A glint flashed in Tang Hao's cloudy old eyes.

He had heard of Yu Xiaogang. He hadn't realized the man was so exceptionally knowledgeable—he even knew that Lone Bamboo was the best fit for Little San.

Tang Hao felt reassured leaving Little San in his hands.

But why was Yu Xiaogang in such a hurry to leave?

[Chapter 6: The Soul Beast That Devoured Lone Bamboo: The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger]

"What an evil Soul Beast!" Tang Hao was already seething with rage at the chapter title alone.

Lone Bamboo Soul Beasts were key to Ah Yin's revival, and in the future, he would need as many as eighteen of them. If the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger devoured them one by one, wouldn't that make it harder for them to obtain Lone Bamboo Soul Rings?

Xiao Wuji added awkwardly, "You've already sealed your own fate?"

[According to ancient texts, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was said to have come about when the God of Evil descended upon a white tiger and caused it to mutate. The white tiger's original Light attribute became Darkness, and it grew a pair of black wings representing its corruption, as well as the Evil God Hook, which resembled a scorpion's tail.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was extremely powerful, thanks to its domineering nature. It didn't grow stronger by cultivating on its own; instead, it rapidly increased its strength by devouring Lone Bamboo Soul Beasts.

It was a pity that Lone Bamboo, being a plant-type Soul Beast, was no match for a top-tier Soul Beast like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, even when it had more years of cultivation.]

Tang Hao read with gritted teeth. He had to go to Star Dou Forest and wipe out every last Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!

Xiao Wuji raised a hand and rubbed his chin. He had described the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the manner of Confucius compiling the Spring and Autumn Annals.

It was true that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger devoured Lone Bamboo, but that didn't mean it wouldn't devour other Soul Beasts and Soul Masters, too.

It was simply an extremely rare Soul Beast, and currently the Spirit Hall alone had records of it. Tang Hao didn't know much about it.
