(ps: The part in Chapter 155 where Zhu Zhuyun secretly rewards herself after returning to her room has been deleted.)
Lin Feng raised his eyelids and shook his head slightly.
"Death is nothing."
"Besides, it's just an insect that's been hiding for over a decade; whether it lives or dies is none of my concern."
Upon hearing this statement...
The entire Maple Dye Pavilion so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
A moment of astonishment and confusion flashed across the faces of all the Title Douluo.
Don't... don't care?
What do you mean by that, senior?
Could it be that the senior intends to let Tang Hao, who dared to offend the Divine Envoy, go free?
This... this is impossible!
Given his protective nature and unfathomable style of doing things, he would never let his enemies go!
The group of titled Douluo exchanged bewildered glances, each seeing deep confusion in the other's eyes.
Death is nothing.
Could it be that...
In the eyes of the seniors, killing Tang Hao outright was far too merciful a punishment, far too lenient.
right!
That must be it!
For these mortals, death is the end.
But for beings like the predecessors, there are probably a thousand ways to make life worse than death, and to make the soul sink into endless suffering for eternity!
Killing Tang Hao would only vent one's anger temporarily.
Torture of Tang Hao, however, is the true divine punishment that pierces the soul!
Upon realizing this, the confusion in the eyes of Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others was instantly replaced by a fierce and expectant look.
They all raised their heads in unison, staring intently at Lin Feng, ready to listen to what kind of cruel torture their senior would use to torture that ignorant bug!
However.
After saying that, Lin Feng said nothing more.
He shifted his gaze from the crowd and looked around at his somewhat empty hotel lobby.
Then, he said something completely unrelated to the previous topic.
"Speaking of which..."
"I suddenly feel that something is missing from this Maple Dye Pavilion."
Lin Feng stroked his chin, speaking casually.
"For example... some potted plants that can decorate the environment."
"..."
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence once again.
Potted plants?
The abrupt jump in this topic almost made all the titled Douluo's backs buckle.
One second they were discussing how to deal with the mainland's most wanted criminal.
How did it suddenly jump to indoor greenery?
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and the others looked completely bewildered.
We were just talking about Tang Hao, how did we suddenly switch to discussing gardening?
Could it be... some kind of code they can't understand?
But just when they were completely baffled...
Ghost Douluo, standing in the crowd, suddenly shuddered!
His pupils contracted violently!
Potted plants... plants... Tang Hao!
A bolt of lightning shattered all the fog in his mind!
He abruptly turned his head, looked at all the Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall, and transmitted his voice in a hurried, almost distorted tone:
" Blue Silver Emperor!"
boom!
In an instant, everyone's brains, which had been somewhat sluggish from staying up all night, became instantly clear!
They instantly understood what Ghost Douluo meant!
As top-level members of the Spirit Hall, they were naturally very familiar with the earth-shattering pursuit back then, and the relationship between Tang Hao and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor!
They knew that the Blue Silver Emperor had sacrificed itself for Tang Hao.
But they also knew that the Blue Silver Grass was a creature with unparalleled vitality among Plant-type Soul Beast!
Among them, the emperor, the Blue Silver Emperor, is almost impossible to kill in a truly meaningful way!
As long as a single seed or a single root is left, there is a possibility of revival!
So, what you mean is...
A thought that sent chills down their spines, yet also made them tremble with excitement, began to grow wildly in their minds!
Senior, are they telling them to poach Tang Hao's wife and bring her back to the Maple Dye Pavilion... to be a potted plant?!
No!
wrong!
With ordinary means, this is perhaps the only step that can be taken.
But with your extraordinary divine power, it would probably be as simple as snapping your fingers to revive the Blue Silver Emperor, or even have it transform back into human form.
By then...
Golden Crocodile Douluo's breathing became heavy.
He could already picture that scene.
After going through countless hardships, Tang Hao finally found Maple Dye Pavilion.
Then, he saw with his own eyes that his beloved wife, whom he thought was long dead, was dressed in a maid's outfit, serving tea and water in the hotel, and even... had to give them, his enemies, a professional smile!
But Tang Hao didn't even have the right to step into the restaurant!
I could only watch helplessly from outside the door, filled with impotent rage!
This... this is simply the most vicious and ingenious form of torture in the world!
hiss--!
The moment they realized this, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo all gasped in shock, feeling a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads!
ruthless!
That's too ruthless!
This goes beyond simply attacking someone's moral character!
This is to rip out Tang Hao's heart, trample it underfoot repeatedly, and then grind it into dust!
This is truly killing someone by destroying their spirit!
Can...
Was it just to torment Tang Hao?
Based on their understanding of their predecessors, they always felt that there was a deeper meaning behind this.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others frowned, feeling as if they had overlooked something crucial.
until...
A bloody truth that they had been subconsciously avoiding all along surfaced in their minds.
Tang Hao is a complete madman!
He used to hide in the shadows and dared to suddenly appear and attack the lower-level staff of the branch hall.
But now, once he finds out that his wife has been "invited" by his senior to be used as a potted plant, what will a dog driven to the brink do?
He'll go crazy!
He will spare no expense to launch the bloodiest and most insane revenge against the low-level Soul Master of the Spirit Hall, against their unarmed families, and against the low-level branch halls scattered across the continent!
At that time, while the strong among them would not fear him, the casualties among the lower ranks would be unimaginable!
The moment I realized that.
Golden Crocodile Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo... all the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall trembled in unison!
They felt an electric current surge from their tailbone straight to the top of their head!
Got it!
They finally understood!
It turns out that the senior's real purpose in proposing the "bonsai" was not to torment Tang Hao, that clown, at all!
It was to... protect their Spirit Hall!
As long as the Blue Silver Emperor is in the senior's hands, it's like putting the strongest leash on that mad dog, Tang Hao!
Would he dare to bite people indiscriminately?
He dares not!
If he dares to touch an ordinary person from the Spirit Hall, the senior might just make his wife's grass leaves serve as a large platter on his plate!
They were still thinking about how to retaliate against the enemy.
But the elders, standing high above, protected the lowest-ranking members of their followers with a compassion they could not even imagine!
What a magnanimous spirit!
How tender this is!
While Ning Fengzhi and the others were still confused by the "bonsai", Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped forward, clasped his hands in a deep bow to Lin Feng, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"We... understand your profound meaning, senior!"
"Please rest assured, senior, we will definitely find the most suitable 'bonsai' for you!"
