69: Luo Sanpao's persistence
"Wait a moment, I... where is my teacher...?"
Tang San was dazed.
In the blink of an eye, his teacher had suddenly vanished?
Xiao Wu was also startled; she had just felt a hair-raising sensation.
"Mom, just now, what happened just now?"
A Rou arrived, her expression grim.
Holding Xiao Wu, a look of gravity flashed in her eyes.
"It was a powerful Spirit Master..."
A Rou couldn't help but worry; if it was a Titled Douluo, then she and her daughter would be in danger again.
Judging by that speed, it was either an agility-attack system Spirit Douluo or a Titled Douluo.
"How could my teacher be connected to a Titled Douluo?"
Tang San murmured.
He glanced at A Rou and was startled, suddenly thinking that it was no wonder Xiao Wu was so pretty and cute; it turned out she inherited it from her mother.
"What are you looking at my mom for?" Xiao Wu glared at Tang San in annoyance.
A Rou said nothing and led Xiao Wu toward the Divine Dragon Hall.
Tang San snapped out of it; being snapped at by Xiao Wu didn't make him feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he wondered... was she jealous?
Tang San quickly caught up and entered the Divine Dragon Hall as well.
At this moment, Luo San Pao was still piously kneeling and bowing.
A Rou looked worried and asked softly, "High Priest, that person just now..."
"No need to pay them any mind."
Yu Mengzhang said indifferently.
He had noticed Tang Hao the moment he arrived at Azure Dragon Mountain.
Since the other party showed no ill intent, he didn't care.
Taking Yu Xiaogang away was actually a good thing for him.
A Rou breathed a sigh of relief; with the High Priest's assurance, there was no problem at all.
Tang San entered and saw the statue, suddenly feeling an inexplicable pressure.
He came from that World, which also had an Azure Dragon Divine Lord!
Therefore, facing this statue brought much more pressure than the Angel God statue of the Spirit Hall!
Tang San did not dare to be the least bit disrespectful. He bowed piously and then asked Yu Mengzhang:
"High Priest, may I ask where my teacher is? Is he in danger?"
Yu Mengzhang said, "There is no danger. He is in the Bamboo Forest on the mountainside."
"Thank you, High Priest!"
Tang San bowed deeply again in thanks, exited the temple, and quickly ran away.
"What a pretender..." Xiao Wu curled her lip; her dislike for the teacher had extended to the student.
A Rou spoke again, "High Priest, I have completed the investigation of those people you asked for. As you said, none of them are good people. Here is the evidence..."
Several official documents appeared in A Rou's hand.
Yu Mengzhang hummed in acknowledgment and put them away.
He was accumulating Karma here, intending to punish evil and promote good.
Killing one evil person could save many more good people!
At that moment, a golden light suddenly appeared from the direction of Nuoding City.
It was a large amount of Karma!
The golden Karma arrived and converged upon the statue.
In Yu Mengzhang's eyes, the feet of the statue gained a bit more radiance.
He was obtaining Karma here to accumulate enough to turn this statue into a Golden Body.
Once the Golden Body was forged, his Divine Soul would be able to descend upon this Divine Dragon Hall.
A Rou took Xiao Wu and stepped aside, not daring to disturb Yu Mengzhang.
The mother and daughter looked at the statue, feeling something in their hearts.
They felt as if the statue had become a bit more solemn and holy.
Furthermore, it seemed to have gained a bit more majesty!
Previously, it was a high and mighty deity untainted by the mortal World, but now it felt as if it were about to deliver divine punishment and rebuke sinners.
Both of them lowered their heads, not daring to look further.
Yu Mengzhang looked at Luo San Pao, who was still kowtowing incessantly.
The other's piety and expectations were incredibly intense.
Perhaps, if Yu Xiaogang had been willing to be one in heart with him, he wouldn't be in this state today.
"Luo-luo..."
Luo San Pao's eyes were full of tears, filled with grievance.
Yu Mengzhang thought for a moment and said:
"You wish to purify your Bloodline. I can give you a chance... but it depends on who you are."
Luo San Pao looked expectantly at Yu Mengzhang, "Luo-luo..."
"If you are a vassal of Yu Xiaogang, then you must obtain Yu Xiaogang's permission, and your plea does not count."
"But if you exist as an independent being, as only yourself, perhaps your persistent thoughts will eventually find an echo."
Yu Mengzhang said calmly.
"Luo-luo...!"
Luo San Pao was extremely excited and kowtowed repeatedly to Yu Mengzhang.
It hardly hesitated at all; it wanted to break free from Yu Xiaogang and exist as an independent being!
One must know that it was also an intelligent creature.
Yet Yu Xiaogang had treated it like that, wasting decades of its life while it remained in the form of a pig.
How could it not have grievances in its heart?!
Yu Mengzhang nodded slightly, sensing the other's strong desire.
As the Azure Dragon Divine Lord, he naturally possessed the power of "Enlightenment."
Even for the ordinary Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, a single drop of urine could allow a carp to leap over the Dragon Gate and evolve its life.
His current Enlightenment might not necessarily grant a creature divine wisdom.
But giving Luo San Pao a chance to exist independently was not difficult.
However, he would not make it happen all at once to satisfy Luo San Pao completely.
He leaned down and lightly tapped Luo San Pao's forehead.
A flash of azure light flickered and then vanished.
Now, Luo San Pao possessed a sliver of hope for independent existence.
"Only by continuously refusing the summons can you slowly become independent..."
Yu Mengzhang explained.
"Luo-luo...!" Luo San Pao kowtowed many times to Yu Mengzhang.
A Rou was dumbfounded, somewhat doubting her own ears.
What kind of incredible thing had she just heard?
He... he actually let someone else's Spirit exist independently?!
...On the mountainside, in the forest.
Tang Hao had abducted Yu Xiaogang and thrown him to the ground, his face faintly carrying anger.
The Azure Dragon Temple was a place where even he did not dare to act presumptuously.
What did this bastard Yu Xiaogang still want to do?
Despite receiving Yu Mengzhang's warning, he still wouldn't let it go?!
If Tang San were implicated, he really would kill Yu Xiaogang!
"Your Excellency, why... why did you bring me here?" Yu Xiaogang's anger completely vanished; facing Tang Hao, his face was full of gentle and friendly smiles.
Tang Hao stood with his back to Yu Xiaogang and said in a deep voice:
"I am saving you!"
"Saving me? Why?" Yu Xiaogang was stunned. It was just a temple; the only living person inside, the High Priest, was just a child under ten years old.
Tang Hao snorted coldly and said, "Do you know the extraordinary nature of that Divine Dragon Hall? Even I do not dare to act rashly there!"
"What?" Yu Xiaogang was dazed.
Tang Hao was his idol, the manliest man in his heart.
Especially the way he had pummeled the previous Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall, it made him a fanatic worshiper.
Yet now, Tang Hao actually cared so much about a temple?
Tang Hao turned around, grabbed Yu Xiaogang by the collar, and lifted him up.
"Remember, do not have a direct conflict with the Divine Dragon Hall! You are Little San's teacher. If you implicate Little San, even if the Divine Dragon Hall doesn't do anything to you, I will not let you off!"
Tang Hao said through gritted teeth.
Yu Xiaogang's face was turned purple from being choked, and he repeatedly responded, "I... I understand..."
