126: Chapter 126 City of Slaughter

Flender settled Liu Erlong down and then found the Shrek Six Monsters.

When he revealed the news about Yu Xiaogang, the Shrek group exploded instantly.

"Dean, are you saying that my teacher, he and the current Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong..." Tang San's face changed drastically.

He couldn't believe that his own teacher would have such a connection with the Spirit Hall's Supreme Pontiff.

Flender nodded: "Erlong said it herself, it shouldn't be wrong."

Everyone was horrified, unable to speak for a moment.

No one expected that a level 29 Yu Xiaogang would have had a past relationship with the high-and-mighty Supreme Pontiff, and now he had even returned to her side.

"Teacher... how could he be like this." Tang San's heart was in chaos.

He had an irreconcilable feud with Spirit Hall, yet his teacher had joined Spirit Hall and was entangled with the Supreme Pontiff.

What should he do? If he were to take revenge on Spirit Hall, should he take his teacher's feelings into account?

"Little San, don't get too excited yet." Flender comforted him, "Perhaps your teacher has his reasons. Think about it carefully, with Bibi Dong's strength, if she wanted to force Xiaogang to stay, he would have no room to resist, so it's very likely he was threatened."

"Besides." Flender changed the subject, "Now is not the time to think about this; focusing on improving your strength is the top priority."

"I understand, Dean." Tang San took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the chaos in his heart.

After a moment of silence, he looked up and asked: "By the way, Dean, do you know my father's whereabouts? I haven't seen him."

"This..." Flender looked troubled, "Before the Soul Master Tournament began, His Excellency Haotian came to see me once. But he hasn't appeared since; perhaps he has some important matters to attend to."

"Alright." Tang San lowered his head, his disappointment deepening.

Just as he was filled with confusion, a cold voice suddenly resounded in his mind:

"Tang San, Tang Hao and Xiao Wu both died at the hands of Spirit Hall. If you want revenge, if you want to become stronger, go to Slaughter City."

"What!" Tang San was struck by lightning, abruptly looking up.

"Little San, what's wrong?" Flender saw his expression was off and asked hurriedly.

"My father... my father and Xiao Wu, they are dead..." Tang San's voice trembled, his eyes bloodshot, and his chest heaving violently.

"What?! How could anything happen to His Excellency Haotian?!" Flender's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "How do you know?"

Tang San didn't answer; he clenched his fists tightly.

He believed the voice in his mind; it would never lie to him.

He had never known his mother since he was a child, and now his father and Xiao Wu had also been killed by Ji Xuan, and even his teacher had left him to join the enemy's forces.

"Ah—!!!" Tang San roared, looking up, "Ji Xuan, I want you dead! I will make you pay in blood!"

After the roar, Tang San calmed down, but that calm appearance made people even more fearful.

He turned to look at Flender and his other companions, his tone cold: "Dean, everyone, I am leaving Shrek Academy."

"Little San, where are you going?" Dai Mubai asked hurriedly.

"Slaughter City."

"What!" Dai Mubai's face changed drastically, "Little San, do you know what kind of place Slaughter City is? That is not a place you should go to!"

Tang San shook his head.

"I don't know much about Slaughter City." Dai Mubai explained, "But rumors say it is a paradise for the fallen, where one can only enter but never leave."

Only enter and never leave? A hint of hesitation crossed Tang San's mind, but he had no other choice now.

He had to become stronger, to gain the power to take revenge.

Ji Xuan, Spirit Hall, he would not let any of those who had harmed him go.

Moreover, the voice guiding him in the dark made it impossible for him to doubt.

"I must go." Tang San turned resolutely, "Everyone, take care."

He turned and walked out of the academy, ignoring the shouts and pleas from those behind him.

...

Spirit City, inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace.

Hu Liena stood in the hall, looking at Bibi Dong: "Teacher, Disciple has come today to implore you to allow me to go to Slaughter City for training."

In this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, the Spirit Hall Team won the championship, and Bibi Dong did not let Hu Liena and her brother go to the Lost Canyon for training.

After witnessing Ji Xuan's terrifying strength with her own eyes, she felt unwilling.

She wanted to become stronger, strong enough to catch up with Ji Xuan's footsteps.

"Nana, do you know what you are saying?" Bibi Dong stood up abruptly from her throne, "You are not unaware of what kind of place Slaughter City is."

Hu Liena immediately knelt on one knee: "Teacher, it is Disciple who failed your cultivation and did not meet your expectations. But I want to become stronger, I want to possess power, please, Teacher, fulfill Disciple's wish."

Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

She was silent for a long time, her heart full of conflict.

She did not want to let Hu Liena step into such a dangerous place, but there was a deep persistence in Hu Liena's eyes.

After a long time, Bibi Dong finally sighed helplessly: "Alright, Teacher agrees."

She only needed to personally greet the Slaughter King and frequently take time to check on the situation, so she thought nothing should go wrong.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

...

Hu Liena returned to her residence and packed her bags for the training trip to Slaughter City.

According to Bibi Dong's arrangements, Chrysanthemum Douluo would personally escort her.

Shortly after the two stepped out of Spirit Hall, they ran into Ji Xuan.

"Your Highness the Holy Son." Chrysanthemum Douluo and Hu Liena said in unison.

Ji Xuan nodded slightly: "Elder Chrysanthemum, where are you two going?"

"Replying to Your Highness, it is Nana who requested to go to Slaughter City for training, and Her Holiness the Pope has already consented." Chrysanthemum Douluo replied.

"Slaughter City?" Ji Xuan's gaze fixed on Hu Liena, thoughtful.

What if Hu Liena runs into Tang San in Slaughter City?

Although, judging by the current situation, the probability of Tang San changing his appearance, using the alias Tang Yin, and becoming entangled with Hu Liena is extremely small.

But one cannot be too careful.

He knew Hu Liena's temperament too well; once some bond was formed, there was no guarantee that some inexplicable trouble wouldn't arise, adding unnecessary chaos.

Ji Xuan had recently planned to take Shui Binger and the others to Sea God Island to gain some benefits.

It would be better to take Hu Liena along; she could improve her strength and completely avoid the slight potential risk of running into Tang San.

Moreover, her Fox Spirit focuses on mental control, and obtaining a Slaughter God Domain would not provide her much benefit.

Also, the life-or-death purgatory that is Slaughter City is simply too dangerous for her.

In the original story, if it weren't for Tang San's help, she would never have been able to get out.

Not to mention that Hu Liena had always admired him, and she had never done anything to harm him.

Helping her out along the way was not out of the question.
