Chen Fan put away the Darkness Power when he saw this.
Xiao Wu had already been knocked unconscious by the Darkness Power, so summoning her out was impossible.
Chen Fan sensed that the person at the window had disappeared.
Naturally, he couldn't let the other party go so easily.
Since Tang San dared to come near Shrek Academy, Tang Hao might also be nearby.
However, in Chen Fan's eyes, Tang Hao, whose Clear Sky Hammer had degenerated into a Wooden Hammer, was no longer worth mentioning.
If the other party wanted to use the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer or unleash the Great Sumeru Hammer's ring detonation, his Wooden Hammer martial soul wouldn't be able to withstand the immense power it brought.
Having Xiao Wu backstab Tang San was the task Chen Fan had given her. Of course, if Xiao Wu couldn't carry out the task now, he would directly capture Tang San and threaten Tang Hao into handing over the Blue Silver Emperor. That would be the safer option.
Chen Fan followed Tang San from the shadows, naturally not daring to act too arrogantly.
Tang Hao's martial soul was crippled, but his Spiritual Power wasn't.
He might discover Chen Fan's presence.
As he followed them, Chen Fan discovered that Tang San went to see Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai.
However, Dai Mubai was already Chen Fan's pawn, so he didn't say anything related to Chen Fan.
Afterward, Tang San left Shrek Academy, but he suddenly encountered Xiao Wu.
While Tang San was visiting his old friends, Xiao Wu had already recovered. Upon hearing that Tang San had appeared, she expressed her intention to carry out the task.
"Xiao Wu!"
Seeing Xiao Wu appear ahead of him, Tang San immediately widened his eyes, filled with disbelief.
That morning, Tang San had seen Xiao Wu in Chen Fan's hands. How had he encountered her now?
"Third Brother." Xiao Wu called softly, a hint of sorrow appearing on her face.
She began to apologize, saying that she shouldn't have followed Chen Fan there before.
Then she thanked him, saying, "Third Brother, it was also thanks to your father's efforts back then that Chen Fan didn't manage to capture me despite my resistance. He only took away part of my soul."
Xiao Wu's adorable little face was filled with sorrow. She came before Tang San, bowed at a ninety-degree angle, and offered an utterly sincere apology and thanks!
"Then what is your current condition?" Tang San looked at Xiao Wu's illusory form. He wanted to step forward and embrace her, but discovered that he could only pass through her body. He clenched his fists tightly.
"I cultivated a special secret technique to temporarily maintain this state. My main body has already returned to the Star Dou Great Forest," Xiao Wu said seriously.
Looking at Xiao Wu, who had realized her mistake, Tang San felt the faint crack in his heart heal.
"Third Brother, if I were given another chance to choose, I would definitely choose your side. I would sacrifice myself for you and make you even stronger." Xiao Wu's eyes reddened as she clenched her fists.
"No, I won't let you sacrifice yourself. I'll protect you!" Tang San reached out, wanting to touch Xiao Wu, but his hand passed through her. The anger surging in his heart grew even more intense.
Because Chen Fan didn't dare approach too closely, he hadn't seen this scene.
If he had, he would certainly have been astonished by Xiao Wu's acting.
Xiao Wu and Tang San walked ahead, growing farther and farther from Shrek Academy.
Before long, Tang San brought Xiao Wu to Tang Hao.
After seeing Tang Hao, Xiao Wu showed no fear. Instead, she stepped forward and sincerely thanked him.
Tang Hao was stunned when he heard this. After learning that it was because of what had happened before, he let out a sigh.
However, when he heard Xiao Wu say that she would definitely help Tang San, he smiled.
Tang San also told him the information he had gathered at Shrek.
Tang Hao was furious when he heard it, but he still said, "We can only endure for now. That boy's power is too strange. However, after our previous battle, I understand that as long as we force the power he injected into our bodies out in time, we'll be fine."
"I can't disperse the power in my body by myself, but I've come up with an idea—borrow the power of a god." Tang Hao looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu as he spoke.
Xiao Wu and Tang San were both shocked by these words.
They had never heard that gods existed on the Douluo Continent.
Tang Hao didn't say much about this matter. He had decided to return to Slaughter City, but before leaving, he would train Tang San properly and develop his own combat strength.
Tang San said, "My companions at Shrek also couldn't stand being bullied by that bastard. They want to leave as well. I met with the dean earlier, and he said he would take the remaining people to the Heaven Dou Empire, where he has an acquaintance."
Tang Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.
Tang San took a letter from his Soul Tool. It was something Yu Xiaogang had asked him to bring to Tang Hao.
Afterward, the three of them walked farther and farther away.
Chen Fan didn't approach too closely from behind. He simply followed them from a distance.
He felt that he would soon be able to find the place where the Blue Silver Emperor was.
Once he made Ah Yin his second soul ring and completed the second task, he would be able to unlock the third subjugation mission.
Once he dealt with the Clear Sky Sect, he would obtain a page of Imperial Script.
The first time he obtained Imperial Script, he had received the Endless Vitality technique, which gave him the power to evolve other people's martial souls.
This time, obtaining Imperial Script would surely strengthen him considerably. If it strengthened his Spiritual Power, that would be perfect.
It would make up for his final weakness!
Tang Hao brought Tang San and Xiao Wu to the place where he was temporarily hiding.
On the way, Tang Hao also brainwashed Xiao Wu about Ah Yin's matter, claiming that he wasn't at all as Chen Fan had described.
"All of that was made up by that bastard. The situation was too chaotic back then, and I had no way to escape. I also didn't want to implicate the Clear Sky Sect. That was what ultimately led to this tragedy."
"I had no choice. Even if I had gone to the Clear Sky Sect, I would've been driven out."
"The Pope, Qian Xunji, who attacked back then, was extraordinary. He possessed heaven-defying abilities, as if he had the Heavenly Eye. Wherever I was, he knew where I was, so I had no way to hide. Only later did I realize that they were actually connected to the gods."
Xiao Wu was shocked when she heard this. Was that Pope Qian Xunji really that powerful? But if he was that powerful, how had he died? The current Pope wasn't Qian Xunji.
Xiao Wu set aside the thoughts in her mind and nodded, indicating that she understood.
She also said that she now hated Chen Fan to the bone and would help Tang San grow stronger, even if it meant sacrificing herself!
As long as she could avenge herself in the end, nothing else mattered.
Tang Hao smiled.
When night fell, Xiao Wu finally met the legendary Blue Silver King.
This place was rather gloomy, and large patches of unusual Blue Silver Grass grew there.
The Blue Silver Grass was covered in faint golden patterns.
This plant was extremely sentient. After seeing Tang Hao return, it even spread out more Blue Silver Grass.
It was as if it were welcoming them back.
Afterward, everyone briefly discussed their plans.
Tang Hao would escort Tang San to the Heaven Dou Empire to reunite with Flender and the others. Xiao Wu said that she would cultivate in the Star Dou Great Forest. Whenever Tang San needed a soul ring, he could come to the Star Dou Great Forest.
She also promised to take good care of the Blue Silver Emperor.
The stars shone brightly that night, but Chen Fan got lost in the forest.
Because he had been too cautious, he had completely failed to keep up with them.
For now, he could only wait for Xiao Wu to find him through their soul connection.
Xiao Wu was currently listening to Tang San's nauseatingly sentimental words. She felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to secretly stab him.
But she endured it, pretending to be cute and bashful as she nodded and agreed to accompany Tang San in imagining their future days together.
"Xiao Wu, the next time we meet, I'll definitely be much stronger. I'll also personally kill that bastard!" Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and swore.
"Of course. I'll obediently wait for Third Brother to come find me. When the time comes, we'll trample that bastard together!" Xiao Wu said seriously, though it was hard to tell whether she meant it.
It was late at night. Xiao Wu left first, while Tang San entered a beautiful dream.
Tang Hao's eyes were slightly cold, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Chen Fan, who had gotten lost, was awakened by a voice. It was Xiao Wu.
"What happened?" Chen Fan asked curiously as he looked at Xiao Wu.
"Flender and the others are going to run. They're going to the Heaven Dou Empire, and Tang San will go there too," Xiao Wu said.
"Run?" Chen Fan smiled when he heard this.
"I'm already tired of staying at Shrek anyway. Let them run. They won't be at ease for long, though. I'll recruit them again and make them my lackeys for the rest of their lives. But this time, I'll give them a painful memory. Otherwise, they'll keep thinking about running away." A hint of icy coldness appeared in Chen Fan's eyes.
Xiao Wu then told him about the place where Tang Hao was currently hiding.
Chen Fan committed it carefully to memory. In fact, going there later would be the safest approach.
After all, Tang Hao and the others would temporarily leave by then, while the Blue Silver Emperor would be left in Xiao Wu's care.
But Chen Fan didn't want that. He wanted to make Tang Hao completely collapse!
Taking advantage of the moment when Ah Yin's mind was trembling, he would use the Darkness Power to confuse her, turn her evil, and complete her rebirth through the Darkness Power.
