In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 260 Third Brother, where are you!?

"Zhu Wu, you'll die a horrible death, a horrible death!" After two nights of unconsciousness, Yu Xiaogang finally awoke from hunger. Opening his bloodshot eyes, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, he roared inwardly, "No, the entire Illusionary Beast Sect! I, Yu Xiaogang, will never forgive you in this lifetime!"

He didn't even need to think about it; the one responsible for carrying out the extermination was a master from the Illusionary Beast Sect, and it was the Illusionary Beast Sect that wiped out his family.

"Beast Sect, just wait! For the rest of my life, I, Yu Xiaogang, will destroy you at all costs." He muttered through gritted teeth.

He then fell silent, his face showing pain.

He simply doesn't have that ability now.

"Oh right! There's also the Spirit Hall led by Bibi Dong, and Xiao San!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly thought.

The saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain." In his view, the Spirit Hall would never tolerate the existence of the Beast Illusion Sect.

His disciple Tang San has not yet been reported to have been wiped out, so he must still be alive.

With his disciple's talent and potential, given enough time, he will surely become a powerful figure, surpassing Long Yingtian, who is also growing up. After all, his disciple possesses twin martial souls and can be equipped with 18 soul rings.

The mistress will definitely avenge her teacher!

His disciple was always loyal and regarded him as a father. Moreover, the Haotian Sect was destroyed by the Illusionary Beast Sect.

"Perhaps, I can go to Bibi Dong now and ask her to drop the warrants for Xiao San and Tang Hao, so we can deal with the Illusionary Beast Sect together." This thought involuntarily came to mind.

The next second, he suddenly remembered Qian Daoliu, who had crippled him, and fear rose in his heart.

He dares not go!

After a moment's thought, his mind suddenly shifted, and he shook his head slightly.

"I can't go!"

"Once exposed, not to mention what Qian Daoliu will do to me, the people from the Beast Illusion Sect will definitely target me, and they might even force the Spirit Hall to hand me over."

"At that time, not only will I not be able to help the mistress, but I will also become bait and hostage to distract her." Thinking of this, his mind cleared up for a moment.

"What I should do now is hide myself, watch the Spirit Hall and the Beast Sect fight, and then show up to help when Xiao San grows up and starts to take action."

"Based on my understanding of the Spirit Hall and my wisdom, I believe I can offer some help to Xiao San."

Thinking this, his eyes hardened.

He could no longer afford to be so despondent, nor could he die; he had to wait for the right opportunity to avenge his family!

What needs to be done now is to eat and restore strength.

So, Yu Xiaogang called softly towards the door, his tone indifferent, "Erlong."

In the fleeting month of September, within the Dragon Realm, Long Ling'er opened her eyes.

It took her a year to finally absorb the soul bone.

Zhu Wu sensed it immediately, broke free from his cultivation state, and then his consciousness entered the inner space.

"His physical body is several times stronger, and his soul power is level 58, which is an increase of 2 levels. Not bad!" He smiled slightly.

The Dragon Realm is not the Dragon Valley of the past; there are no special rules to suppress soul power. Although my wife fell into a deep sleep during the absorption of the soul bone and did not actively circulate her cultivation technique, and the soul bone itself would not bring about an increase in soul power due to the lack of energy, the significant increase in her physical potential, coupled with the fact that the soul power in her body would always draw some external energy due to the self-circulation of life activities, still attracted some external energy.

Therefore, soul power will still increase slowly.

He was the same in this respect. Having already condensed three soul cores, he was even progressing quite quickly.

Especially after becoming completely familiar with the physical body, it becomes even more so, as the body can instinctively sense changes in the external environment to operate the Vajra Gong and Longevity Gong.

Cultivation has become a subconscious behavior, a kind of muscle memory.

This is one of the reasons why he can still maintain a 1-level increase in soul power every 3 months. You can only say that this is the beauty of automatic leveling.

Lost in thought, he released Long Ling'er.

"Brother Tian!" Upon seeing Zhu Wu, Long Ling'er's face immediately lit up with joy.

Zhu Wu smiled, opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace. Looking at her increasingly beautiful face, he pressed his cheek against hers and kissed her without hesitation. After a while, he let go and said with a smile, "Ling'er, with your current physical strength, you are strong enough to support cultivating the Vajra Longevity Technique all day long. From now on, you will cultivate with me in the outside world. During this time, you should familiarize yourself with your body and abilities. Later, I will teach you what I learned from Father God's memories."

"Mmm." Long Ling'er nodded obediently.

So, a figure sat cross-legged next to Zhu Wu.

The monotonous yet fulfilling cultivation journey continued until the Spring Festival of another year arrived, at which point Zhu Wu returned to the mortal world with the women. However, just like in previous years, they left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after only a few days.

"If even Ying Tian can't take that step, then I think the so-called becoming a god at level 100 is just empty talk." Watching Zhu Wu transform into a swallow and fly away, Bone Douluo, who had already broken through to level 96, couldn't help but sigh.

He's talented, has enough resources, and works hard. If he still can't succeed, he feels like no one in the world can become a god.

As for Tang San, he's far from it!

Sword Douluo, who had already broken through to level 97, nodded slightly and smiled, "I have a lot of confidence in Ying Tian."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Ning Fengzhi.

"If Ying Tianzhen succeeds, with this son-in-law Fengzhi by your side, you can rest easy. We two old folks can consider retiring."

Ning Fengzhi remained calm. "Before things have settled down, we must do our utmost."

"Yes." Sword Douluo nodded.

"I have already given the orders regarding the medicinal herbs."

After this period of development, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's assets have been completely divided up by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the royal family, naturally leading to a significant increase in the efficiency of medicinal herb collection. Of course, the fundamental reason is still their strength. With the successive destruction of the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is now the strongest in the Soul Master world, second only to the Spirit Hall.

With the Beast Illusion Sect backing him up, everything he did went smoothly, and at least no one dared to stop him.

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, then sighed, "From now on, this continent will probably not be peaceful."

Xue Ye had already spoken with him before the new year, intending to pass the throne to Xue Qinghe in the spring. Once the transfer of the throne was completed, this imposter Xue Qinghe would completely control the court, and he had no doubt that the Spirit Hall would devise a plan to launch a war against the Star Luo Empire.

Once the mainland is unified, the Spirit Hall's next step will undoubtedly be to centralize power.

This also means that the Spirit Hall will take action against the various Spirit Master factions.

Sword Douluo understood what Ning Fengzhi meant and sighed, "Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate."

"I have faith in Heaven," he added.

"On this point, I agree with Old Chen." Bone Douluo nodded slightly.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded gently.

In early March, as the major Soul Master academies began their new semester, Xue Ye formally passed the throne to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Zhu Wu was neither present nor concerned, and continued his daily cultivation.

But on the other side, in Wuhun City, at the Papal Palace.

"Teacher, I'm back." Hu Liena walked into the main hall and strode up to Bibi Dong.

After nearly four years, she finally emerged from the Killing City. The previous Hell Killing Arena, where she achieved a hundred victories, was a brush with death, but she ultimately succeeded. Entering the Hell Road, thanks to the Skull of Wisdom and the Flying External Soul Bone, she resisted the influence of the killing aura. When she encountered the Three-Headed Bat King and the subsequent Strange Serpent, she didn't linger, flying to the exit as quickly as possible.

If it weren't for the soul bone bestowed upon her by her teacher, she was certain that she would have died on this journey.

Thinking of his teacher's devoted guidance, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes somewhat dim, and said, "Your disciple is incompetent. After passing through the Road to Hell, I did not receive any divine guidance, only the Domain of the God of Slaughter."

"It's alright," Bibi Dong smiled. "It's good that you're back."

He then comforted her, "If I'm not mistaken, the opportunity to receive divine guidance lies within the realm of the God of Slaughter. You need to comprehend it carefully. Perhaps this in itself is a test. What is given by outsiders is ultimately something external, not something you can comprehend yourself."

"Once you completely make it your own, or even go further, you might reap some rewards."

To be honest, over the years she has always suspected that the phantom image that Tang Hao condensed when he used the Killing God Domain was a symbol of the domain's evolution and recognition.

"Teacher, I will definitely work hard," Hu Liena said solemnly, her gaze becoming firm.

"Mm." Bibi Dong nodded.

"Tomorrow, the teacher will apply to the elders to appoint you as the new Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall."

"By passing through the City of Slaughter, you have already proven your strength."

"I will certainly live up to my teacher's expectations," Hu Liena said.

The following day, in the Elders' Hall, Bibi Dong proposed the idea of ​​appointing Hu Liena as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.

"I disagree!" Qian Renxue, who had rushed over, immediately rejected the idea.

Bibi Dong frowned, turned to look at Qian Renxue, and asked, "What's your reason?"

"Because strength does not equate to wisdom," Qian Renxue said calmly. "Someone's actions a few years ago are proof of that."

Bibi Dong's face immediately turned cold.

"I second that!" the worshippers echoed in unison.

"Hu Liena's ability to handle affairs certainly needs to be tested," Qian Daoliu said. "At least for now, she lacks experience."

"Then let's send her to the Heaven Dou Empire to assist in handling court affairs, what do you think?" Bibi Dong said.

Now that the disguised Xue Qinghe has succeeded to the throne, she doesn't think that arranging her disciple in will have any impact.

"What are you going to do?" Qian Renxue sneered. "An outsider directing insiders, making a mess of the court? Or is it that my double hasn't done a good job all these years? He's only just ascended to the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the court is still unstable, yet my Spirit Hall is already worried that he might be raising a tiger that will turn on us, preparing to discard him after he's done his work? Or is it that your disciple is smarter than my so-called teacher, Ning Fengzhi?"

Bibi Dong's face was even more gloomy, and the veins on his forehead were somewhat bulging.

The worshippers looked disappointed; in their view, Bibi Dong was simply abusing her power for personal gain.

"Alright," Qian Daoliu said. "The Heaven Dou Empire is being managed by Xue'er's substitute, Ning Fengzhi is offering advice internally, and Salas is assisting externally. That's enough. We don't need to interfere for now."

"As for Hu Liena, once the Heavenly Dou government is stable, we can take action against the Star Luo Empire. There will be plenty of opportunities for her to gain experience. As for Bibi Dong, let her stay in Wuhun City for now to help you handle some affairs and get some practice."

"Furthermore, the fact that this child was able to pass through the City of Slaughter shows he has considerable potential; his cultivation must not be neglected."

"As you say." Bibi Dong suppressed her anger, nodded calmly, and then stood up.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he walked straight out.

"Hmph." After the footsteps disappeared, Golden Crocodile Douluo sneered, "When it comes to Bibi Dong's personal matters, it's simply outrageous."

"Alright." Qian Daoliu stood up. "Everyone, you can all leave now."

"Grandpa, I'm going back to continue my cultivation." Qian Renxue stood up and walked towards the other gate.

"Sigh." Qian Daoliu sighed and shook his head slightly.

He didn't actually like Bibi Dong either, but what if he were gone too?

No one knew better than him what it took to begin the ninth trial of the Angel God.

Two months later, in early May, the sun blazed high over the desolate plateau.

Long Ling'er suddenly opened her eyes, her face showing joy.

"You've broken through?" Sensing something, Zhu Wu opened his eyes, turned his head and smiled.

"Mm." Long Ling'er nodded.

"Let's go back to the Dragon Realm then." Zhu Wu got up, walked over, put his hand on Long Ling'er, and sent her back to the Dragon Realm. Then he sat down and continued his cultivation.

His consciousness, however, did not enter the inner space, watching as Zi Ji transformed into a giant dragon and flew towards the forest where the Titan Giant Ape was located.

"This, this is the giant dragon?" Xiao Wu looked up, fear rising in her eyes.

In their line of sight, the giant dragon was swooping straight down towards them.

"Sister Xiaowu, run!" So much time had passed that the Titan Ape understood that Da Ming was most likely dead. The dragon that had come looking for it was undoubtedly hunting it. It wouldn't offer its neck for slaughter, even knowing its opponent was far stronger than itself.

"Roar!" He grabbed Xiao Wu and threw her aside, then roared and unleashed his innate domain.

"A futile struggle." Zi Ji sneered, tilting her head back slightly and exhaling a chilling breath.

"Crackling sounds" echoed continuously. The Titan Ape, whose abilities were mainly melee combat, was unable to dodge such a wide-range breath attack. In addition, due to the absolute suppression of its cultivation and attributes, its body was frozen instantly, turning into a huge ice sculpture.

Zi Ji extended her claws and grabbed the Titan Ape, then flew away.

"No!" Xiao Wu screamed in anguish, then collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

At this moment, she really wanted to self-destruct and follow Da Ming and Er Ming to their deaths!

However, although she knew the chances were slim, she still held onto hope that her third brother would come to rescue her.

She wanted to see her third brother, even just once.

"Third Brother, where are you?!" The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached, and tears streamed down her face.

On the other side, Zi Ji dragged the Titan Giant Ape to the crater where Long Ling'er was and casually dropped it off.

Without hesitation, Long Ling'er activated the power of her right arm's soul bone, striking her forehead with a claw, and then sat down to absorb the soul ring.

With a thought, Zhu Wu's fallen right arm soul bone rose up and, in a flash of silver light, transferred to the small treasury.

Withdraw your consciousness and focus on cultivation.

It wasn't until an hour later, when he sensed that Long Ling'er had regained consciousness, that he began to pay attention again.

"Soul power level 62, not bad."

"I'll be there soon too," he murmured, then teleported his wife out so they could continue cultivating together.

It wasn't until two and a half months later.

He has finally broken through level 70.

Time to get some spirit rings again.

"Boss, are we going to the far north?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately transmitted its voice, sounding very excited.

"Hmm." Zhu Wu responded softly, and without delay, he transformed into a golden swift and flew to the far north.
