Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 325 The Hypocritical Tang San?

A tense atmosphere hung over everyone like a dark cloud.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor's heartfelt complaints struck Zhang Lexuan, He Caitou, and even Xu Jiujiu's hearts like heavy hammer blows.

Their eyes were filled with solemnity and doubt, and they kept pondering the deeper meaning of the Demon Emperor's words.

"Tang San? The Sea God Tang San, one of the first Shrek Seven Devils ten thousand years ago?" Zhang Lexuan murmured to herself, her voice filled with disbelief.

In the stories they knew, Tang San was a radiant god, the guardian of Douluo Continent, and an object of reverence for all Soul Masters.

But why is it that when this super ferocious beast Demon Emperor speaks of Tang San, the Sea God, he seems like a completely different person, entirely unlike the one they know?

It was as if a huge boulder had been thrown into everyone's hearts, stirring up waves of emotion.

From the Demon Emperor's venomous words, Zhang Lexuan and the others had already vaguely guessed her identity.

The Demon Emperor, the wife of the sea overlord whose husband, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, was killed by the Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King even became Tang San's ninth spirit ring.

The girl blocking their way had a completely different demeanor.

Unlike the Demon Emperor's bloodshed and tyranny, she possessed a stubbornness and determination in her eyes.

From the previous conversation, everyone already knew that this girl was the Demon Emperor's daughter, but what was puzzling was that she was now resolutely standing on the opposite side of the Demon Emperor.

This complex relationship makes the situation even more unpredictable.

Zhang Lexuan frowned, looked at Zhou Sichen beside her, and asked anxiously, "Sichen, what do we do now?"

Her voice carried a hint of anxiety, after all, they were facing a terrifyingly powerful Demon Emperor, and if they were not careful, they would be doomed.

Zhou Sichen stared intently at Lan Fuzi before him, his gaze deep. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Let's wait and see. The Tang San mentioned by the Demon Emperor should be the Sea God after the souls of the Shrek Seven Devils ascended to the God Realm ten thousand years ago."

His voice was calm and composed, but he was also quickly thinking of a solution.

The Demon Emperor slowly raised his right hand, a long and slender hand filled with terrifying power, seemingly containing endless destructive force.

The surrounding space was slightly distorted by this energy, and terrifying energy condensed in her palm, instantly transforming into a giant energy hand that grabbed directly at the girl in front of her.

The girl's eyes widened in disbelief; she never imagined her mother would lay a hand on her.

The Demon Emperor ruthlessly tossed Lan Fuzi aside, his voice icy cold: "Mother knows what she's doing. Get out of my way."

Lan Fuzi fell to the ground, tears glistening in her eyes, yet she still stubbornly tried to get up again to stop him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Sichen faced the Demon Emperor head-on.

His body surface shone with a platinum-gold first spirit ring, radiating a soft yet firm light. The spirit skill of sharing spirit was activated instantly, directly linking to the Demon Emperor's spiritual world.

This sudden turn of events stunned the Demon Emperor. She hadn't expected that this seemingly insignificant human would dare to launch a mental attack on her.

The next moment, the Demon Emperor's terrifying spiritual power was about to erupt like a surging tide, ready to destroy the arrogant human in front of him.

But at that moment, Zhou Sichen's voice rang out clearly in the Demon Emperor's mental sea through mental sharing: "Perhaps... we are not enemies, but that hypocritical Tang San is also my enemy."

The Demon Queen paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes as she stared intently at Zhou Sichen.

The Demon Emperor coldly said, "Tang San is your enemy? When did you humans begin to question your gods?"

In her mind, humans have always blindly worshipped and revered gods, and she never thought that any human would dare to question Tang San.

Zhou Sichen remained calm, but in his mind he was quickly calculating how to persuade the Demon Emperor. He replied, "Because I also discovered his inferiority. If it weren't for his cage-like surveillance of Douluo Continent, Douluo Continent would be even more prosperous today."

His words carried a hint of indignation, as if he truly harbored a deep hatred for Tang San.

The Demon Emperor was momentarily confused. She had originally thought that Zhou Sichen was just a peerless treasure that would allow her to greatly improve her cultivation after consuming it.

But now it seems there's an unexpected bonus.

She wondered to herself whether this human's words could be trusted.

Zhou Sichen continued, "However, I am just a nobody with little influence. Now that I have happened to meet you, senior, why don't you help me put on a show and completely tear off Tang San's hypocritical mask?"

The Demon Emperor coldly replied, "How can I trust you? Even if I devour you today, I can still greatly increase my cultivation and personally ascend to the God Realm to avenge my husband!"

Her voice was filled with doubt and murderous intent. After all, the human in front of her was nothing more than an ant in her eyes, someone she could crush at any moment.

Zhou Sichen remained unfazed, looking firmly at the Demon Emperor, and said, "If Senior Demon Emperor insists on going his own way, I am not afraid, but losing an ally would be a loss for you."

The Demon Emperor sneered upon hearing this: "You?"

That contemptuous laughter echoed in everyone's ears, sending a chill down their spines.

Zhou Sichen stopped talking nonsense, the three spirit rings on his body suddenly retracted, and the martial spirit of the Book of Contract in his right hand shone brightly.

Through the Book of Contracts, Zhou Sichen spoke directly to the Snow Empress, saying, "Snow Empress, help me."

The next moment, six spirit rings rose from Zhou Sichen's body: three black, one red, one black, and one red. The blood-red sixth spirit ring lit up immediately.

As the blood-red sixth soul ring lit up, the world changed color instantly, and pure white snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky that had been shrouded in darkness.

The snowflakes fell like goose feathers, fluttering down, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in this sudden snowfall.

A stunningly beautiful figure suddenly appeared, and the Snow Emperor's terrifying cultivation of seven hundred thousand years was instantly unleashed. A powerful icy aura swept around, protecting Zhou Sichen and the others behind her as they faced the Demon Emperor.

Snow Empress's figure is like a queen in the snow, noble and aloof, and every movement she makes carries an innate majesty.

When the Demon Emperor saw the Snow Empress appear, his expression changed slightly.

She was well aware of the Ice and Snow Maiden's reputation and the Snow Emperor's strength.

With her cultivation of over 600,000 years, she still felt slightly inferior to the Snow Emperor.

"Ice and Snow Maiden, why do you help humans?" the Demon Emperor asked coldly, his voice carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt.

When Xue Di saw the Demon Emperor, she couldn't help but wonder whether Zhou Sichen's luck was good or bad. He had to go out to sea to get a soul ring and still run into this evil star.

Although the Snow Empress had never had any contact with the Demon Emperor, she had heard of the formidable reputation of the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan.

This race is extremely rare, and its strength is terrifying.

Although the Demon Emperor before them only had a cultivation of over 600,000 years, his strength was not much inferior to that of the current Snow Emperor.

Unless one has the advantage of heaven and earth in the far north, even the Snow Emperor might not be able to guarantee a victory over the Demon Emperor.

The Snow Empress looked calmly at the Demon Emperor and said, "Demon Emperor, I have a contract with Si Chen, so naturally I must protect him." "Moreover, there may indeed be something to investigate about Tang San's matter." Her voice was like a flowing icy spring, clear yet carrying a hint of coldness.

The Demon Emperor's eyes flickered as he pondered to himself.

She knew that Xue Di's involvement had made the situation even more complicated.

She originally thought she could easily deal with the humans in front of her, but now she has a powerful opponent.

However, Zhou Sichen's words also stirred her heart. If they could really join forces to deal with Tang San, perhaps they would have a real chance to avenge her husband.

After all, she knew very well that it was extremely difficult for a soul beast to become a god.

Otherwise, her husband would have ascended to the divine realm long ago.

For a moment, the Demon Emperor fell silent.

The air was thick with tension; you could hear a pin drop.

The Demon Emperor coldly replied, "Even with you here, if I were to make a move, he would still not survive."

Faced with the Demon Emperor's questioning, a smile gently appeared on the Snow Empress's exquisite face, like a flower quietly blooming in the snow, yet carrying an innate aloofness.

She said, "The king of the deep-sea demon whale? Si Chen is my host. You've miscalculated if you think you can make a move against him."

"Host?" Upon hearing these two words, the Demon Emperor's already majestic face was filled with astonishment.

Throughout her long life, she had witnessed countless strange events, but the fact that a super being with a terrifying cultivation level of 700,000 years had become a human's contracted soul beast was truly beyond her comprehension.

Her gaze swept back and forth between Xue Di and Zhou Sichen, her eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

With the Demon Emperor's discerning eye, he had naturally already recognized Zhou Sichen's extraordinary abilities.

The six-ring Soul Emperor had already condensed his Soul Core, possessing that strange, ten-thousand-year-old first Soul Ring, and an extremely rare twin Martial Soul...

Each of his traits alone would be enough to amaze countless Soul Masters, not to mention that Zhou Sichen also exudes a vitality so rich it's almost overflowing.

In the Demon Emperor's eyes, Zhou Sichen was like a peerless elixir; as long as he devoured him, his strength would surely be greatly enhanced.

However, the Demon Emperor couldn't understand how Zhou Sichen, despite his extraordinary talent, could have managed to make the Snow Empress, whose strength was in no way inferior to his own, willingly submit to him.

What's even more bizarre to her is that not long ago, she had thoroughly investigated and found that there were no other powerful individuals within a hundred miles.

Just as Zhou Sichen's 100,000-year-old soul ring shone, the Snow Emperor appeared out of thin air, and the powerful aura emanating from her body made even the Demon Emperor take notice.

At this moment, Zhou Sichen remained calm, shielding Xue Di in front of him, a confident smile on his face, and said, "Senior Demon Emperor, how about we make a deal?"

As soon as he spoke, he proactively transmitted some information to the Demon Emperor through his mental power.

His spiritual power, like a thread, cautiously extended towards the Demon Emperor, as if testing the Demon Emperor's attitude.

The Demon Emperor hesitated slightly. In her opinion, with her current level of spiritual power, she was not afraid of Zhou Sichen secretly causing trouble.

So she nodded slightly and received the mental message from Zhou Sichen.

In an instant, various images and words flashed through her mind, and her eyes changed constantly with these messages, sometimes showing surprise, sometimes deep thought.

After a moment, the Demon Emperor spoke slowly, "Are you from Shrek Academy?"

Her voice carried a hint of doubt, as if she were confirming some important fact.

Seeing this, Zhou Sichen withdrew his mental sharing, nodded slightly, and respectfully replied, "Indeed, Senior Demon Emperor, your cultivation is extraordinary, why would you need to kill us juniors so ruthlessly?"

His voice was gentle and sincere, attempting to ease the tense atmosphere with his words.

"Since you know about the Sea God Tang San, I think there must be some misunderstanding."

The Demon Emperor gave a cold laugh, a laugh like the cry of an owl, full of resentment and disdain: "Tang San, the Sea God? He's nothing but a hypocritical, double-standard villain. You... have all been deceived by him."

Her words seemed to contain endless anger; the hatred that had been buried for thousands of years seemed to have found an outlet at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan immediately raised her eyebrows and retorted without hesitation, "What makes you say such a thing, senior? Is it because your husband died at the hands of the sea god that you are slandering him?"

Her voice was clear and loud, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction and doubt about the Demon Emperor's words.

In her mind, Tang San, the Sea God, had always been a great and sacred being, and she would not allow him to be slandered in this way.

The Demon Emperor sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said, "Slander? Do you know how the City of Slaughter was destroyed? Do you know why the Holy Spirit Cult has appeared? Do you know why Tang San destroyed the Spirit Hall?"

Each of her questions was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's hearts hard.

"History is written by the victors; what you know is just a few fragments..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Zhang Lexuan, He Caitou, and Xu Jiujiu all turned somewhat unpleasant.

Their hearts were filled with contradictions and doubts.

The education and understanding they received from childhood began to crumble under the Demon Emperor's questioning.

Surprisingly, Zhou Sichen's expression remained unchanged, and he even fell into deep thought.

He frowned slightly, his eyes deep and focused, as if pondering the profound meaning behind the Demon Emperor's words.

After a long silence, Zhou Sichen put on a look of sudden realization and said with great acting skill, "So that's how it is? Could it be that everything I know is true?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan stared blankly at Zhou Sichen, her eyes filled with confusion.

"What does it mean to say 'it is indeed so'? What does it mean to say that everything you know is true?" she kept asking herself.

She naturally wouldn't easily believe the Demon Emperor's words, but Zhou Sichen had always been a trustworthy person in her heart.

If even he says so, what reason does she have to doubt it?

For a moment, everyone fell silent. The sea breeze blew by, carrying a salty and damp smell, making everyone's hearts feel incredibly heavy.

The Demon Emperor watched the crowd quietly, a hint of smugness in his eyes, as if he were enjoying the chaos he had caused.

Xue Di stood beside Zhou Sichen, calmly observing everything around her, seemingly waiting for Zhou Sichen's next move.

Zhang Lexuan, He Caitou, and Xu Jiujiu were filled with confusion and bewilderment, unsure how to cope with this sudden shock.

I don't know how to uncover the truth hidden in the dust of history...
