The master went down the mountain

Huang Quan's body froze instantly, overwhelmed by immense fear!

He thought Tang Zhan wouldn't see through his actions, but Tang Zhan not only saw through them, but also guessed that he had a master and that he wasn't the real Blood Robe Tower Master!

"You're saying Huang Quan isn't the real Blood Robe Tower Master? Then who is the real Blood Robe Tower Master?" the Demon Queen couldn't help but ask.

"It's the Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets!"

Tang Zhan said in a deep voice:

"After I deduced his true identity from Huang Quan's words, I only suspected that the true master of the Blood-Clad Tower was the Heavenly Mystery Old Monster;"

"I was 100% certain when this guy only made me recite the cultivation techniques and martial arts collected by the Tang family, but not the cultivation techniques and martial arts collected by the Heavenly Mystery Old Monster!"

Huang Quan was heartbroken; it turned out that Tang Zhan had indeed guessed the truth!

"The Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets?"

The Demon Queen felt her brain wasn't quite working properly:

"Isn't he your master? Why would he instruct Huang Quan to force you to memorize the cultivation techniques and martial arts collected by the Tang family? He could have simply asked you for them himself. Besides, he clearly intended for Huang Quan to kill you. Is it possible for a master to kill his disciple?"

"We're a plastic master and apprentice!"

Tang Zhan smiled wryly:

"Everyone outside thought that he saved me 16 years ago, that he was my master, that I had received his true teachings over the past 16 years, and that I survived assassination attempts under his protection. However, the truth is not so."

"Sixteen years ago, he went to the Tang family and told me that he and my grandfather were longtime friends. He thought I was just a seven-year-old child and wouldn't know my grandfather's friends."

"But he didn't know that Grandpa never treated me like a child. He told me everything. I remember very clearly that Grandpa told me that if he ever saw the Heavenly Mystery Monster, he would definitely kill him. So Grandpa and the Heavenly Mystery Monster were not friends at all."

"The reason why the Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets appeared at the Tang family was probably because he had found out about the Alliance to Destroy Tang and went there specifically to pick up the scraps, only to find that I was the last member of the Tang family alive when he arrived."

"After searching the Tang family's house thoroughly and finding nothing of value, he finally set his sights on me."

"He found out I have a photographic memory and suspects that all the cultivation techniques and martial arts collected by the Tang family are in my mind;"

"So after taking me to the nameless mountain, he took me as his disciple and tried to please me in every way, subtly probing me. But I refused to say anything, and he couldn't do anything about it, so he simply stopped caring about me. But I knew that he was secretly observing and monitoring me all along..."

The Demon Queen hadn't expected Tang Zhan to have suffered so much during those 16 years on the nameless mountain, and asked:

"So, the Old Monster Tianji secretly instructed Wu Xiwu to establish the Blood-Clad Tower, just so that after you descended the mountain, the Blood-Clad Tower could obtain the cultivation techniques and martial arts collected by the Tang family from you?"

Before Tang Zhan could answer, Wu Xiwu said:

"The Blood-Clad Tower was founded by the Old Monster Tianji decades ago. He merely secretly helped me rise to the position of Tower Master. That old fellow is very secretive; to this day, even the higher-ups of the Blood-Clad Tower don't know that the former Tower Master was the Old Monster Tianji. They only know that the current Tower Master is named Huang Quan. Oh, by the way, Huang Quan is the Old Monster Tianji's code name!"

Tang Zhan was surprised that Wu Xiwu would confess on her own initiative, and asked:

"What task did he give you?"

"He gave me three tasks!"

Wu Xiwu said:

"First, he's never been able to gauge your true strength and suspects you've been hiding your cultivation level, so he asked me to find a way to test your true power."

"Secondly, he ordered me to obtain all the cultivation techniques and martial arts collected by the Tang family at all costs, and then imprison you after I succeeded."

"Third, let me find out the real reason why the Alliance to Annihilate Tang massacred the Tang family!"

"How did he control you?" Tang Zhan asked.

"There's a poison called 'Blood Explosion.' Those poisoned must take an antidote every six months, or their blood vessels will burst, causing massive bleeding and death—a very painful process!" Wu Xiwu said.

"I can cure this poison!" Tang Zhan said.

Wu Xiwu perked up and exclaimed excitedly:

"If you cure my poison, I won't be manipulated by the Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets anymore. I can truly pledge my allegiance to you. As for the Blood Robe Tower, I am merely a puppet leader supported by the Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets. I have no right to hand over the Blood Robe Tower to you. If I were to do so, the Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets would soon find out and easily regain control of the Blood Robe Tower!"

"I will give you the antidote, as for the Blood-Clad Tower..."

Tang Zhan pondered for a moment and asked:

Are all the middle and upper management of the Blood-Clad Tower here?

"Ever since you left the mountain, Old Monster Tianji has ordered me to transfer everyone from Blood Robe Tower to China, and to bring back all the middle and upper management and experts of the sixth rank and above from Blood Robe Tower to headquarters!" Wu Xiwu said.

"Where is the headquarters of the Blood-Clad Tower?" Tang Zhan asked.

"Is this the headquarters of Bloodstained Clothes Tower? Guantang Mental Hospital, the largest private mental hospital in the country, was established 16 years ago with funding from a company controlled by Bloodstained Clothes Tower!" Wu Xiwu said.

Tang Zhan's eyes lit up. Tianji Laoguai was really cunning. Building a mental hospital as the headquarters of the Blood Robe Tower would not arouse any suspicion!

He looked at the Demon Queen and said:

"Send all the middle and upper management of the Blood-Clad Tower to the Tang Clan Ancestral Hall; I have a way to subdue them!"

"I can't take so many people by myself!" the Demon Queen said with difficulty.

Tang Zhan raised his hand and snapped his fingers!

The next moment, 36 masked men in black emerged from the darkness, stopped 5 meters away from Tang Zhan, and knelt on one knee.

"Owner!"

Wu Xiwu and the Demon Queen were dumbfounded!

The Demon Queen asked in surprise, "I didn't tell you that Huang Quan was meeting you here, and you wore a hood the whole way. How did they know you were here?"

"I have a tracking device on me..." Tang Zhan didn't answer the Demon Queen's question. Looking at the 36 men in black, he commanded:

"You helped the Demon Queen secretly send Wu Xiwu and all the middle and high-ranking members of the Blood-Clad Tower, as well as all experts of rank six and above, to the Tang Clan Ancestral Hall!"

As he spoke, he slapped Wu Xiwu unconscious, then sealed Wu Xiwu's cultivation with a kick!

"Yes, sir!"

The 36 men in black spoke in unison.

Then he got up and left with the Demon Queen and Wu Xiwu!

Tang Zhan ran back to the pavilion, just as he was about to get something to eat, when his phone rang!

It was a text message from the Demon Queen: "I've been drugged again in room 302 of the Dream Bar! Come save me!"

Tang Zhan was completely dumbfounded!

I was drugged last night, and I was drugged again tonight. This foreigner is incredibly stupid!

He forgot all about eating, grabbed the book "How to Win Over a Married Woman" that Wu Xiwu had placed on the stone table, and ran outside as fast as he could...
