Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

The Haotian Sect's mountain gate is majestic, shrouded in clouds and mist.

Wang Dong'er, along with Bai Yu, Hei, and Xiao Xiao, slowly stepped onto the sect's stone steps.

On the other side, Huo Yutong followed her older brother Huo Yuhao and the Sun Moon Team, hurrying towards the Sun Moon Empire. Both of them knew that her purpose in going there was to avenge her mother, and to do so, she had to go to the Sun Moon Empire.

The continental war was about to break out, and the first target was the border defense line of the Star Luo Empire, where the fortress guarded by Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger was located.

"Uncle, Uncle, I'm back!"

As soon as she entered the heart of the sect, Wang Dong'er raised her voice and shouted, her clear voice echoing through the valley.

In the pavilion not far away, Niu Tianzheng and Titan were drinking together while holding wine jars. Upon hearing this familiar voice, the two of them put down their wine cups almost simultaneously, and in a flash, they appeared in front of Wang Dong'er and the other three.

Seeing Wang Dong'er looking travel-worn, and then noticing the three unfamiliar faces behind her, Niu Tian couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Dong, why did you suddenly come back? And you brought guests with you?"

"Can't I bring guests back?" Wang Dong'er narrowed her eyes, staring sharply at the two people in front of her, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible reproach.

Niu Tian and Titan immediately sensed something was wrong; the way this little ancestor looked at them made it seem like he was interrogating them.

Niu Tian quickly waved his hand: "No, no, we were just a little surprised. We're more than happy to welcome you!"

Titan nodded in agreement, afraid of angering this little tyrant.

"By the way, where's Tang San?" Niu Tian cleverly changed the subject, glancing around behind the four of them but not seeing that familiar figure.

"what?"

Wang Dong'er's eyes instantly turned dangerous, and a half-smile curled at the corner of her mouth: "Eldest Father, Second Father, why do I feel that you care more about Tang San than about me, the young sect leader who has just returned?"

"Xiaodong, you've misunderstood!" the two of them said in unison, their faces full of panic.

Wang Dong'er didn't give them a chance to explain further, and casually dropped a bombshell: "The Tang San you all cherish, together with his master Xuanzi, killed the Star Luo Emperor. Okay, that's all."

After saying that, she ignored their shocked expressions and led Bai Yu, Hei, and Xiao Xiao past them, heading straight into the depths of the sect, clearly indicating that she no longer wanted to deal with these two guys.

Black's gaze swept over Niu Tian and Titan, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly before he slowly withdrew his gaze.

A strong, almost imperceptible aura, belonging to a ferocious beast, clung to the two of them.

Inside the pavilion, Niu Tian and Titan stood frozen in place, staring at each other in bewilderment.

After a long pause, Titan swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, is Tang San out of his mind? Hasn't he always wanted to maintain the balance of the three kingdoms? Assassinating the Star Luo Emperor, isn't that just asking for trouble?"

“That was just his clone.” Niu Tian’s face was so dark it could drip water, and his tone was grave. “His main body was already off, so how normal could his clone be?”

He tapped his fingers lightly on the stone table, lost in thought—should he report this matter to that official, or remain silent for the time being?
……

On the other side, deep in the dense forest.

Looking at Xuanzi's fanatical expression, Tang San felt his worldview was about to collapse.

He just couldn't understand how the master he had gone to so much trouble to recognize was actually the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult who had been lurking in Shrek Academy for many years, and who was also his fanatical admirer!
When he destroyed the Killing City, he genuinely just wanted to destroy that breeding ground for evil, to prevent more people from gaining access to the killing domain and turning into madmen who only knew how to kill.

As for his excuses of "acting on behalf of Heaven," they were merely pretexts he made up to make his actions seem more "righteous and awe-inspiring." Who would have thought that this would lead these evil spirit masters to regard him as a savior and worship him fanatically?

No wonder his worship of the Asura God was even stronger than his worship of the Sea God—it turns out it was you evil soul masters who were secretly worshipping him behind the scenes!
But he had no desire to be the leader of any evil spirit masters! He only wanted to be the pure, radiant Tang God King and reclaim everything that belonged to him!
"Teacher, are you... are you joking with me?" Tang San's voice trembled, and he was on the verge of a breakdown.

“Little San, your teacher isn’t joking with you.” Xuanzi’s eyes were incredibly serious, and her tone was unwavering.

He suddenly turned his head, looked into the depths of the dense forest, and shouted sharply, "You rats hiding in the shadows, aren't you coming out?"

"Shuashuashua——"

Several figures darted out of the woods, the leader being Xuanji Douluo.

He led a group of Soul Masters, surrounding Xuanzi, Tang San, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya. He stared coldly at Xuanzi and angrily questioned, "I never imagined that the famous Taotie Douluo was actually a Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult! No wonder so many students from Shrek Academy have gone missing or perished in recent years—it's all your doing, isn't it?"

"I really don't know how the elders of Shrek Academy could trust us so much. What would they think if they knew the truth!"

"Hahahaha..." Xuanzi suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with endless mockery. "Shrek Academy? A bunch of hypocritical bastards! They are not worthy of worshipping Ancestor Tang San! Only our Holy Spirit Cult is the most devout believer!"

His aura suddenly became violent, and his soul power surged wildly. "Although I have become like this now, for the sake of reviving the Holy Spirit Cult and for the legacy of my ancestor Tang San, I am willing to be shattered to pieces!"

Xuanzi turned his head sharply to look at Tang San and the other two, his eyes resolute: "Little San, the three of you, hurry up and leave! I will burn my life for you and hold them off!"

Tang San:"???"

No way! When the hell did I say I wanted to join the Holy Spirit Cult?!

Before he could even refute, Beibei and Tang Ya grabbed his arms from either side.

"Your Highness, we will obey the Supreme Elder's orders!" Bei Bei's voice was unwavering. "We will take you to the Haotian Sect to seek protection!"

Before the words were even finished, the two men, supporting the still dazed Tang San, turned and ran into the depths of the dense forest at an astonishing speed.

Tang San was caught in the middle, completely bewildered.

He watched Xuanzi getting further and further away, then looked at Beibei and Tang Ya beside him, who were both looking on with fervor, and only one thought remained in his mind—it's over.

Now, his status as the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Church is completely confirmed!
Xuanzi watched the three figures disappear into the distance, his eyes instantly reddening, tears streaming down his face: "I've waited too long for this moment... For the revival of the Holy Spirit Cult, for the sake of Ancestor Tang San... Today, I will perish together with you!"

His body began to swell, and his soul power leaked out like a volcanic eruption, clearly indicating that he was about to self-destruct!
Xuanji Douluo: "???"

He was completely stunned.

Wait, why isn't this old guy playing by the rules? He's not even putting on an act, he's just about to self-destruct?
"Get out of the way! This old guy is about to self-destruct!" Xuanji Douluo reacted, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply to the Soul Masters around him.

The group of Soul Masters were so frightened that they turned around and fled for their lives.

Deep within the dense forest, terrifying energy fluctuations grew increasingly intense, signaling the imminent devastating self-destruction.
