Tang San the Scoundrel! The Path to Death?!

"Was this really my child?"

A Yin asked herself inwardly.

How could a soul that carried complete memories of a past life and stole a sect's secret manuals possibly be her flesh and blood?

This was not reincarnation at all. It was possession.

The real infant had likely been erased by the soul called Tang San the moment he was born.

"Tang Hao, what exactly did we give birth to?"

A Yin felt her consciousness reel.

Back then, in order to protect Tang Hao and their child, A Yin had resolutely chosen to sacrifice herself.

She had thought her sacrifice would allow her child to grow up safely.

Yet she had never expected that the infant Tang Hao held in his arms no longer possessed its original soul.

It was an adult from another world, full of schemes and calculations.

A Yin felt a chill run through her entire body.

If this soul had possessed its memories from the very beginning, then what did Tang San's filial devotion toward Tang Hao and longing for her amount to?

It had all been an act.

The thought of it made A Yin feel utterly sick.

A Yin's consciousness was on the verge of collapse before the light screen.

[My Son Isn't a Bastard: Th-this... Who put this video in the Chat Group? Was Tang San really like this in his past life?]

[My Son Isn't a Bastard: No, my child would never be such a person. There must be some misunderstanding.]

A Yin sent a weak question into the group.

However, the scenes on the light screen were so real that they could not possibly have been faked.

Every detail in the footage was crystal clear.

Tang San's resolve before jumping from the cliff, as well as his sinister demeanor in the Tang Sect, had all been exposed without reservation.

By now, the atmosphere in the Chat Group had dropped to freezing point.

[Little Witch: That's disgusting. I thought Tang San was an honest guy before, but he's a thief to the core.]

Ning Rongrong's pretty face was filled with revulsion.

Whenever she thought of Tang San's sanctimonious appearance at the academy, Ning Rongrong felt her skin crawl.

At Shrek Academy, Tang San had always acted refined and courteous, treating everyone politely.

Now it seemed that was nothing more than a mask.

Ning Rongrong recalled the time Tang San had used hidden weapons against Zhao Wuji at the academy.

At the time, Ning Rongrong had thought Tang San was impressive. Looking back now, every one of Tang San's hidden weapons had targeted vital points. He had clearly been trying to take Zhao Wuji's life.

How could someone who could betray his own sect possibly treat the others at Shrek Academy sincerely?

Ning Rongrong felt a lingering fear.

[My Cat Is White and Big: Utterly hypocritical. Revolting.]

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was cold.

Zhu Zhuqing had always despised people who abandoned their sects and stole cultivation methods.

In her eyes, loyalty and integrity were the most basic bottom lines for a soul master.

Tang San had clearly trampled that bottom line completely.

Zhu Zhuqing thought of how Tang San usually protected Xiao Wu.

Now, she felt it was merely Tang San's desire for control at work.

How could someone who even wanted to kill his own teacher possibly treat Xiao Wu sincerely?

The group fell deathly silent.

The image on the light screen gradually dimmed.

The group members remained immersed in the shock of what they had just witnessed, unable to recover for a long while.

Who could have imagined that Tang San, who usually appeared gentle and humble, had been such a petty villain in his past life, betraying his sect and stealing its secret manuals?

[Little Witch: I really never expected Tang San to have been such a lowlife book thief.]

"I must have been blind to think this man was honest."

Ning Rongrong gritted her pearly teeth and muttered to herself.

[My Cat Is White and Big: He betrayed his sect and only cared about himself. This person cannot be trusted.]

Zhu Zhuqing's face was frosty.

The instincts of the Netherworld Spirit Cat told Zhu Zhuqing that Tang San was extremely dangerous and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

She had once thought Tang San was a teammate worthy of entrusting her back to. Now, it seemed she had merely been deluding herself.

[Loves Carrots: Third Brother... Did Third Brother really do those things before?]

Xiao Wu stared blankly at the light screen, her eyes full of confusion.

The flawless image of Third Brother in her heart had developed a massive crack at that moment.

She could not accept such a truth.

"A soul from a past life... Then who exactly is the current Third Brother?"

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu closed her eyes in pain.

[Gentle Fire Dragon: So this brat is that Tang Sect traitor? But he's Yu Xiaogang's disciple now. He shouldn't betray his master again, right?]

Liu Erlong had always been hot-tempered at Blue Tyrant Academy.

Even she could not help rubbing her temples after seeing this.

After all, Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher. Since Liu Erlong cared for Yu Xiaogang, she still wanted to say a few good words for Tang San.

In a secret chamber of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Feng watched the commotion in the group.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing an amused smile.

"This is only the beginning. The real show is still to come."

Chen Feng lightly tapped the air with his slender fingers.

The light screen lit up once more.

A new scene began to play.

It was Nuoding City.

The sunlight was dazzling.

A six-year-old child in patched clothes stood before the gates of Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.

It was the young Tang San.

Old Jack had brought Tang San to enroll.

A sloppily dressed gatekeeper cast them a sidelong glance and stopped them with a look of contempt.

"Country bumpkins, get lost. This isn't a place for people like you."

The gatekeeper spat, his attitude exceptionally vile.

He even reached out and shoved Old Jack.

Old Jack staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

In the scene, Tang San's gaze instantly darkened.

His right hand silently slipped into his sleeve.

The sleeve arrow hidden within was already poised to strike.

A glint of killing intent flashed through his eyes.

"A mere watchdog dares insult me."

Tang San muttered inwardly.

His finger was already resting on the trigger mechanism.

With a light press, he could activate it.

Inside Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong lounged lazily against the Pope's throne.

Her fair, slender legs were crossed, faintly visible beneath the gauze.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong parted her red lips and gave a soft laugh.

"This little fellow is truly vicious. He wanted to take someone's life just because of an ordinary gatekeeper?"

Bibi Dong's tone carried a hint of mockery.

Yet her eyes were filled with indifference.

[Loves Carrots: Oh no, how could Third Brother do that? He's just an ordinary person!]

Xiao Wu covered her mouth, utterly stunned.

The gatekeeper was detestable, but his offense did not warrant death.

Tang San had actually formed the intent to kill immediately.

[Little Witch: He's completely insane. He wants to kill people over the slightest disagreement. Is this what they call a righteous and prestigious sect?]

Ning Rongrong stamped her feet in anger.

Her disgust toward Tang San deepened another layer.

[My Cat Is White and Big: Selfish, narrow-minded, and petty.]

Zhu Zhuqing gave her assessment.

[Fragrant Fox: Oh no.]

In her chambers within Spirit Hall, Hu Liena watched the scene on the light screen and could not help shuddering.

Those cold, merciless eyes brimming with killing intent did not belong to an innocent child at all.

"Teacher, this child is too terrifying. He's practically a born killer."

[I Have No Mother: Hmph, he speaks endlessly of righteousness and morality, yet behind the scenes, he relies on nothing but despicable tricks.]
