In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

"Old Poison Master, it's been several years since we parted ways at the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace..." Lan Ji stepped forward, but before he could finish speaking, the Old Poison Master recoiled dozens of meters away as if he had seen a ghost. His forehead creased in surprise, his face filled with vigilance. Even his Azure Scale Serpent Emperor Martial Soul was instinctively summoned.

Dai Mubai, on the other hand, hid behind Dai Tianfeng the whole time, not daring to get close, let alone look Lan Ji in the eye.

Lan Ji smiled and stopped, a playful smile on his face. "Old Poisoner, Crown Prince Mu Bai, could it be that I am a devil? You seem to be very afraid of me."

"The devil isn't as scary as you," Dugu Bo said with a sigh, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

At this moment, Dai Tianfeng stepped forward to smooth things over, "Haha...Alright, you two, everything before was a misunderstanding. The most important thing now is to work together to defend against the increasingly powerful Spirit Hall Empire. Before that, I hope you two can put aside your prejudices and join hands to fight against this powerful enemy."

"Of course. Our Heaven Dou Empire has always been very sincere." Lan Ji smiled faintly and said to Dugu Bo, "Don't worry, old poisoner, even though you and Tang San killed the previous emperor of my Heaven Dou Empire, I will spare your life for the sake of your granddaughter. As for Tang San, it's not too late to settle our grudges after the war."

"You..." Dugu Bo felt like he was going crazy with anger. He had seen people lie through their teeth before, but he had never seen anyone lie through their teeth like this. It was like a thief crying "stop thief!"

In the end, Dugu Bo racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution. The situation was beyond his control, and he had no choice but to accept it.

.........

After a series of tedious and complicated ceremonies, it was already noon when the alliance treaty was signed. Four flags representing the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Tang Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were raised and fluttered on the meeting platform.

Although Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin were only Soul Kings, Dai Tianfeng still raised a banner for them because they came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three major sects of the Plains. As for the Tang Sect, Dugu Bo served as their representative; a Title Douluo was enough to explain everything.

As the host, Dai Tianfeng prepared a banquet to entertain everyone.

After the banquet ended, everyone returned to their temporary rest area.

Late at night, a special guest arrived at Tianxing Pass. He sneaked into the fortress without being notified.

Following the banner of the Tang Clan, they secretly found Dugu Bo.

"Who is it?" Dugu Bo spotted him and was about to make a move when a familiar voice rang in his ear, "Old Poison Master, it's me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San slowly emerged from the darkness, wearing a black bamboo hat and a black cloak, carrying a huge wooden box on his back containing the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. "Little monster, you're back from hunting spirit rings?"

Tang San nodded, his expression grim, and asked in a deep voice, "How's the situation now? Has Lan Ji recognized you?"

"My disguise is no match for his perception. That guy is too terrifying. His strength is unfathomable." Dugu Bo smiled bitterly. "Fortunately, with the powerful enemy, the Martial Soul Empire, he has no intention of attacking me. He has also stated that he will not attack you before the war ends."

"How strong is he?" Tang San frowned.

"To be able to suppress both me and Dai Tianfeng, two Title Douluos, with just her aura, I estimate her strength is at least no weaker than Bibi Dong's in the battle at the Papal Palace nine years ago." Dugu Bo asked with some surprise, "What happened?"

Tang San nodded emphatically, gritting his teeth as he said, "Da Ming and Er Ming, namely the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, were hunted down and killed, and their soul rings and soul bones were also taken away."

"You're not going to tell me that the person who hunted them was Lan Ji, are you?" Dugu Bo gasped. The two great soul beast emperors of the Star Dou Great Forest were killed. Doesn't that mean that Lan Ji possessed at least three 100,000-year soul rings and three 100,000-year soul bones? And they were all 100,000-year soul rings starting from the seventh soul ring.

Is this something an ordinary person could do?

"There's no one else but him. That bastard, all of this should have been mine." Tang San's eyes were covered in blood red, and he was almost insane as he roared. Fortunately, the temporary rest area had good soundproofing, otherwise it would have alerted the outer guards.

Da Ming and Er Ming are Xiao Wu's younger brothers, and he is also Xiao Wu's husband. In his heart, these two 100,000-year-old soul beasts have long been his personal property. The same goes for the immortal herbs they previously possessed. Now that Lan Ji has beaten them to it, how could he not be furious?

Dugu Bo had no idea what Tang San was thinking. He asked with some concern, "Little monster, what are you planning to do in the future? Lan Ji is not someone any of us can handle now. Don't be impulsive. A Title Douluo with three 100,000-year spirit rings is no joke."

"I know I won't rush into revenge before achieving the Rakshasa God and destroying the Spirit Empire." Tang San took a deep breath and said, "By the way, how is Mu Bai? Did he defeat Davis?"

“Davis has been killed on the spot by Mu Bai, and Mu Bai has successfully become the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire. However…” Dugu Bo frowned as he finished speaking.

"But what?" Tang San asked hastily upon hearing this. He had already lost too much and didn't want to hear any more bad news.

Dugu Bo sighed softly, "At the critical moment when Dai Mubai was about to kill Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing appeared. She had also broken through to the Title Douluo level, and her soul power was even higher than Dai Tianfeng's, reaching at least level ninety-three. Her strength was terrifying. Even without releasing her martial soul, her speed was so fast that even Dai Tianfeng and I couldn't react. After saving Zhu Zhuyun, she beat Mubai up in front of everyone in the training ground. Fortunately, because the two great empires were about to form an alliance, she didn't kill him. Otherwise, Mubai would probably be in grave danger."

"She also broke through to the Title Douluo level?" Tang San exclaimed in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

Dugu Bo nodded and continued, "Besides that, the little girl from the Nine Heart Begonia family seems to have also broken through to the Title Douluo level. I saw her at the banquet today. Her soul power is slightly lower than Zhu Zhuqing's, probably around level ninety-two, but I sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from her. I predict that she is very likely to obtain a method that grants support-type soul masters offensive capabilities, just like Oscar, and her strength will definitely not be inferior to Zhu Zhuqing's."

Chapter 399 Lan Si Meets Tang San

"How is this possible..." Tang San staggered backward, a sense of defeat rising within him.

He had always regarded Lan Ji as his lifelong enemy, his greatest and only rival. But he never expected that even Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lengleng, those two girls he had never taken seriously, would surpass him.

If he hadn't received the inheritance of the Rakshasa God, he would have wanted to die.

"I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes," Dugu Bo sighed. He had actually met three Title Douluos who were under thirty years old, two of whom were even under twenty-five.

He said to Tang San earnestly, "But you don't need to underestimate yourself. No matter how powerful Lan Ji and the others are, they will eventually stop at the Title Douluo level. You have something they don't have, and your future achievements will definitely surpass theirs."

Tang San took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Go and call Mu Bai over. I have completed the seventh trial of my Rakshasa God. The eighth trial is to cultivate my martial soul to the level of a Title Douluo. I know a place that can help Mu Bai and me improve our strength quickly."

Dugu Bo nodded and walked out of the house.

"Tang San, we meet again." Just as Dugu Bo stepped out of the room, without any warning, a familiar, pleasant male voice suddenly rang out from the side.

Tang San jolted awake, his body instantly retreating, his right hand reaching into his waist to unleash dozens of hidden weapons. At the same time, he removed the wooden box from his back, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe poised to strike.

The sudden sound shocked Tang San greatly. You see, ever since he left the City of Slaughter, because he hadn't gone to the Moon Pavilion to cleanse himself of his worldly desires, his mind had been constantly on edge for many years. Wherever he went, he would release his mental energy at all times, sensing any threats that might be posed to him.

However, the sound appeared so abruptly. Even Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, would have found this difficult to do.

Without a doubt, the opponent's mental strength far surpasses his own. His strength is at least at the level of a Title Douluo.

"Don't worry, if I wanted to kill you, you would have died a thousand times over." The calm voice rang out again. This time, Tang San finally locked onto the other person's figure. His gaze suddenly turned behind him, and ten meters away, beside the table, a figure had appeared without him noticing.

He wore a long black robe, and his long, icy blue hair was casually draped over his shoulders. His dark blue eyes were calm as still water, and everything about him seemed so natural.

"It's you... Lan Ji..." Tang San tightened his grip on the wooden box. Having learned from his previous failures, he was determined not to act rashly. Otherwise, he knew he would be utterly defeated, and might even lose his life here.

Lan Ji poured himself a cup of fragrant tea. "Not bad, worthy of praise. I am your enemy who killed your father and wife, yet you managed to refrain from attacking me this time. You have indeed improved."

"What do you want to do?" Tang San asked in a deep voice.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to see how much you've improved since we last met." Lan Ji picked up her teacup, smiled slightly, and stood up to walk towards Tang San.

However, as soon as he took a step, Tang San seemed to have seen him before, picked up the wooden box containing the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, and retreated like lightning.

Lan Ji questioned, "Why are you keeping your distance? I can sense that what's inside your wooden box is not simple. If you want revenge, you should get closer and attack me. Or are you afraid that if you get close, any part of me could disappear from your sight? If that's the case, then I have to take back my praise."

Because you still haven't grasped the difference in strength between us. Combat distance only matters when the opponents are of equal strength.

At this point, Lan Ji had appeared in front of Tang San without anyone noticing, placing her left hand on his chest. "Look, just like this, if I wanted to kill you, I would have already taken your heart out."

"When...?" Tang San was shocked. His eyes flashed with cold light. As he retreated, the wooden box in his hand shattered. He grabbed the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and swung it fiercely at Lan Ji.

Lan Ji flashed and appeared more than ten meters away, calmly saying, "Is this what you found overseas? Not bad, a scythe, it looks like it has reached the level of a divine artifact. But it's still far from being a true artifact."

"Whether it's good or bad, we'll only know after we try it." As he spoke, Tang San continued to swing the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and attack.

Lan Ji calmly dodged while saying, "You really like interrupting others. In that case, let me tell you some good news. The rabbit I gave you four years ago should still be with you, right?"

"What do you mean by this?" Tang San stopped what he was doing and asked, frowning.

"To tell you the truth, the pregnant rabbit I gave you back then wasn't the real Xiao Wu," Lan Ji said. "When that old rabbit sacrificed itself to me, it mistook me for you. It was worried that you couldn't withstand a 100,000-year soul ring, so it sacrificed its 100,000 years of cultivation, along with its soul, to me in the most domineering way. In fact, its original body died shortly after the sacrifice."

The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty

"The rabbit in your lucky charm pouch is just something I found randomly in the Star Dou Great Forest. Of course, it might be a descendant of that old rabbit."

"Haha, you actually hang out with that rabbit every day. Tang San, you're really something."

Recalling the scene of Tang San acting as a veterinarian for the Soft Bone Rabbit in the Rakshasa Secret Realm, Lan Ji couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Damn it..." Tang San's eyes were bloodshot as he silently chanted, "Rakshasa Demon Scythe, quickly mobilize all the Rakshasa divine power for me, I'm going to kill him."

Tang San heard the Demon Scythe's sigh echo in his mind, "Stop... The gap between you two is too great... He was just toying with you... If you reveal your Rakshasa God power... If he discovers your identity as the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, you'll die..."

Seeing that Tang San had actually held back, Lan Ji looked at the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, understanding the situation, and continued to tease, "Tang San, don't you want to know where that old rabbit's corpse went?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San didn't reply, but instead stared intently at Lan Ji. His eyes were practically spitting fire with rage, and he cursed inwardly, "Laugh, laugh! When I become the Rakshasa God, you'll have your day to cry."

Lan Ji added, "It was eaten, by you and the old poisoner. Guess when you ate it?"

Tang San was suddenly startled. He recalled the scene when he returned to Tian Dou City after Xiao Wu's sacrifice and encountered the old poison master. He suddenly felt nauseous and vomited profusely.

"Haha, it seems you've remembered..." With a mocking laugh, Lan Ji's figure flashed and disappeared from the room.

Chapter 400 Liu Erlong learns the cause of Yu Xiaogang's death

"Xiao Wu died shortly after her sacrifice, and your body was eaten by you and the old poison master..."

Lan Ji's voice echoed repeatedly in Tang San's mind. He knelt on the ground, his eyes vacant, bloody tears streaming from his eyes. Xiao Wu was dead, never to return. Lan Ji had even served her body to his own table. He had actually eaten his lover.

"Lan Ji... Lan Ji... You've taken away my love... I want you dead, I want you dead..." Tang San covered his head with his hands, crying out in heart-wrenching pain. He took out the Soft Bone Rabbit that had been with him for four years from his Ruyi Treasure Pouch at his waist. With a forceful grab, the Soft Bone Rabbit instantly shattered, exploding into a bloody mist.

The Rakshasa Demon Scythe beside him emitted a dazzling, eerie green demonic light, frantically absorbing the resentment emanating from Tang San and the most vile thoughts in his heart. It subtly manipulated Tang San's mind, laughing wildly without restraint—"Heh heh, such powerful resentment! Tang San, hate it, loathe it! Then you will become the most powerful evil god in the world..."

........

Outside Tianxing Pass, a guest arrived.

After being informed, Dai Mubai immediately went out to greet him, "Teacher Erlong... why did you arrive so quickly?"

"Mu Bai, have you seen Xiao Gang?" Liu Erlong asked anxiously.

"Didn't the Master come with you?" Dai Mubai asked, somewhat surprised.

Liu Erlong's eyes reddened. "Xiao Gang is missing. I've searched the whole town, but I can't find him. He only left me a note saying that I should come to Tianxing Pass to find you, and then we'll meet up again. Mu Bai, I've been feeling uneasy these past few days. Do you think something might have happened to Xiao Gang?"

"Teacher Erlong, don't be anxious. I think the master must have been held up by something. Let's go inside and talk." Dai Mubai was a little annoyed and couldn't help but curse Yu Xiaogang in his heart. What are you doing, a level 29 piece of trash? You have no skills and all you do is jump around and cause trouble for others.

The two entered the fortress and soon encountered Dugu Bo, who had come out to look for Dai Mubai. "Mubai, you're here too, Liu Erlong. Perfect timing, the little monster is back. I'll take you to see him."

Liu Erlong's eyes lit up. "The mistress is here? Is he with Xiaogang?"

Dugu Bo shook his head. "He came alone. I didn't see Master."

Dugu Bo learned from the two that Yu Xiaogang was missing, so he immediately took them to his residence.

"Little San, didn't you see Xiao Gang..." Liu Erlong pushed open the door, her voice abruptly stopping as she witnessed Tang San crushing 'Xiao Wu' into a bloody mist. She froze on the spot. Dai Mubai and Dugu Bo, who followed closely behind, also showed expressions of horror.

"Tang San... what have you done..." Liu Erlong's eyes were empty. She flashed forward and punched Tang San.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned ashen. Tang San did not resist, but simply lowered his head, his bangs hanging freely, his eyes obscured by shadows. He raised his hand to recall the Rakshasa Demon Scythe on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Lan Ji has been here. We were all deceived by him. After the real Xiao Wu sacrificed herself, she gave everything, including her soul, to Lan Ji. Her physical body was too weak and died not long after. That rabbit just now was something Lan Ji randomly found in the Star Dou Great Forest, just to trick me."
