Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

"Stupid!"

Tang San's eyes were full of disdain. This guy had already had his cultivation abolished, yet he still dared to spout such arrogant words.

This guy's brain is practically useless!
Hu Liena was completely unappreciative of Yan's ineffective maintenance, and even felt somewhat annoyed by it.

A moment later, she looked at Tang San again and said with great certainty, "Teacher will definitely not give up on saving me, so just give up on that idea."

"I've told you everything I need to say. The choice is yours."

Tang San shrugged noncommittally at Hu Liena's answer. He had only mentioned it casually, and whether she ultimately agreed was irrelevant.

Anyway, my mother will repay the master's kindness, so at worst she'll have to work a few more days.

As Tang San left the prison, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence once again. The blow of having their cultivation destroyed was already hard for them, but they did not expect to face an even more miserable situation.

After a long while, Yan looked up at Hu Liena and solemnly promised, "Nana, don't worry, no matter what, I will protect you."

Hu Liena merely glanced at him before squatting down again, hugging her knees.

Although Yan possesses a top-tier martial soul with both fire and earth attributes, without any soul power, he can at most deal with a two-ring soul master. He can barely protect himself, let alone others.

Xie Yue scoffed at Yan's assurances as well.

In his view, even if his sister were to be given away cheaply to an outsider, it wouldn't be this guy's turn.

Moreover, Lin Mu is a peerless expert of similar age to them, and his strength is probably above that of His Holiness the Pope. Otherwise, His Holiness the Pope would not be so wary of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

If Nana can get close to Lin Mu, it might not be a bad thing.

Now that things have come to this, Xie Yue has figured it out.

Since his cultivation has been destroyed, loyalty to Martial Soul City is useless now, so he might as well rely on his sister to secure a stable life.

After some deliberation, Xie Yue walked up to Hu Liena and said, "Nana, I think we should make plans soon. In case His Holiness the Pope doesn't agree to Lin Mu's request, you might as well..."

The words were not finished, but the meaning was already self-evident.

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's expression grew even more grim, and she said, "Even if I die here, I will not betray my teacher!"

Before establishing the Martial Soul Empire, she had heard her teacher mention Lin Mu more than once.

Every time the teacher mentioned his name, he always looked like he wanted to tear him to pieces, as if Lin Mu had done something unforgivable to the teacher.

Furthermore, since her cultivation had already been destroyed by Lin Mu, how could she possibly submit to him!
Seeing her resolute attitude, Xie Yue frowned.

They are now trapped in prison and have no chance of escaping unless His Holiness the Pope agrees to Lin Mu's conditions.

Therefore, they must prepare for the worst.

A moment later, Hu Liena suddenly thought of something and hurriedly grabbed Xie Yue's arm, pleading, "Brother, why don't you kill me now, so that I won't be a burden to our teacher."

"What did you say?!"

Xie Yue looked at Hu Liena in disbelief. He had never expected that Hu Liena would be so loyal to His Holiness the Pope, even to the point of sacrificing her own life.

Although he also did not want to betray the Spirit Hall and His Holiness the Pope, he did not go that far.

"Brother, our cultivation has been abolished. Even if we go back, it will be of no use. It might even force our teacher to agree to some humiliating conditions from Lin Mu."

At this point, Hu Liena bit her pink lips tightly and said with a firm expression, "I would rather commit suicide than let Lin Mu succeed."

"Snapped!!"

Seeing her sister completely bewitched, Xie Yue slapped her across the face. As a bright red handprint appeared on Hu Liena's face, her mind went blank. She hadn't expected Xie Yue to hit her, and so hard at that.

After slapping her, Xie Yue took a deep breath and advised, "Nana, things have come to this point, the only way out is to stay alive."

“Yes, Nana, I will definitely protect you,” Yan immediately echoed.

In his view, His Holiness the Pope would certainly do everything in his power to save Huliena.

After all, Hu Liena is not only a disciple of His Holiness the Pope, but also a saintess of the Spirit Hall. If she is allowed to remain in the enemy camp, it will have a certain impact on the morale of the army.

Even if the negotiations fail, he can still die with Nana.

"Get out, I don't want to talk to you."

Faced with Yan's overtures, Hu Liena became even more annoyed and glared at him fiercely.

Since her older brother was unwilling to take action, she could only take things one step at a time, hoping not to cause too much trouble for the teacher.

As night fell, Lin Mu and Bibi Dong arrived at their agreed-upon location.

Although Bibi Dong did not pass the ninth trial of the Rakshasa God and her soul power was suppressed to level 98, she possessed a nearly invincible ninth soul skill, which made it impossible for anyone below the god level to truly kill her.

However, Lin Mu's attack power has already entered the god-level realm, and he is 50% confident that he can completely kill Bibi Dong.

The reason he didn't take action was simply because he didn't want to.

In his opinion, it would be better to leave this matter to Qian Renxue, otherwise, it would be inevitable that they would develop a grudge in the future.

“Bibi Dong, it’s been a long time. You seem to have aged a bit.”

As he spoke, Lin Mu looked Bibi Dong over with great interest. Her cold face was clearly tinged with worry, and her purple eyes were filled with solemnity and resentment.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's face darkened. This scoundrel dared to say that she had grown old.

However, considering the other party's strength, she had to suppress her anger and asked, word by word, "Did you kill Xiaogang?!"

"Um, shouldn't you be concerned about your disciple first? She's right in my hands."

Lin Mu was speechless at Bibi Dong's blatant favoritism. He really couldn't understand where Gangzi's charm came from, that made Bibi Dong so unforgettable.

However, Bibi Dong did not change her mind and continued to stare at him intently.

"Fine, I'll tell you the truth."

After a brief pause, Lin Mu continued, "He took Ma Hongjun to Seagod Island and sent a fire-type soul master to obtain the Seagod's inheritance. Only Gangzi could have done that."

"Poseidon Island?"

Bibi Dong felt a sense of admiration for Xiao Gang. He had not disappointed her. Even after being expelled from the Spirit Hall, he did not give up on proving his theory.

Since Xiaogang went to Poseidon Island, it suggests that he may not be dead yet.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong was both surprised and delighted. Her anger subsided by more than half, as if she had already forgotten the purpose of this trip.

"So, do you still want your disciple or not?"

Lin Mu frowned slightly, not expecting Bibi Dong to be so obsessed with love. Even though Gangzi had become so ugly, she still valued him more than her disciple.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong finally came to her senses and regained her composure, saying, "Just tell me, what do you want in order to release Nana?"

P.S.: I'm thinking about a new book lately, so this one will only be updated once a week. It was doing alright in terms of popularity, but the plot just isn't moving forward. Forcing it to continue would just result in padding. (End of Chapter)
