Chapter 446: Tang San's Persuasion
"Chen, how do you plan to deal with him?"
Inside a mansion of the Sun Moon Empire, Bo Saixi stared at the evil soul master bound before her. Her beautiful eyes were filled with icy killing intent.
A person like this must not remain in this world. Otherwise, he would surely throw the entire Sun Moon Empire, even the whole Douluo Star, into utter chaos. After all, unlike the Douluo Continent, there were no deities here, and true absolute authority could not be maintained.
"Let's find out the truth first."
Tang Chen fell silent, then after a brief thought, struck out with a wave of soul power.
"As a disciple of the Hao Tian Sect, how did you come to this place?" Once he had awakened the man before him, Tang Chen asked with a grim expression.
He never would have imagined that his Hao Tian Sect would produce someone who became an evil soul master, and that apart from himself, another had reached a continent beyond the Douluo Continent.
"Who are you? How do you know that I am from the Hao Tian Sect?"
Tang San awoke, shook his head, and realizing his soul power was completely sealed, asked in a grave tone.
"My name is Tang Chen!" Tang Chen narrowed his eyes, his words spoken coldly.
From this, one could see how deeply Tang Chen despised evil soul masters.
This was only natural. Regardless of the relationship between Spirit Hall and the Hao Tian Sect, when it came to evil soul masters, not only these two sects but also the two great empires and the other sects all stood united in their absolute opposition. For them, such people were killed the moment they appeared.
"Tang Chen?"
Hearing the man before him reveal his identity, Tang San froze for a moment. Then, reacting quickly, he hurriedly explained, "Great-grandfather, I am your great-grandson, Tang San."
"My great-grandson? Tang San?"
At these words, Tang Chen was left stunned, and even Bo Saixi at his side was taken aback.
Was this man speaking the truth? Why did it sound so unreliable?
"Then who is your father?" Tang Chen was the first to recover and asked.
All these years he had only one son, two grandsons, and one granddaughter. Thus, he truly could not discern whose child this young man before him could be.
"Tang Hao. My father is Tang Hao." Tang San replied without concealment.
"Tang Hao!"
At the mention of Tang Hao, flames of fury surged within Tang Chen's eyes. Yet soon after, recalling Tang Hao's fall, he sighed helplessly and continued, "If so, then who is your mother?"
He had only ever heard from Qian Daoliu why Qian Xunji once hunted Tang Hao, and why the Hao Tian Sect shut its doors. But he had never known that Tang Hao and the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor had borne a child.
"I do not know. But my martial spirits—besides the Hao Tian Hammer—include the Blue Silver Emperor."
Unsure whether this great-grandfather knew that his mother was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Tang San could only probe cautiously.
"Blue Silver Emperor? Hao Tian Hammer?"
Hearing this, Tang Chen cried out in shock and instantly understood. "You possess twin martial spirits?"
Tang San nodded lightly, indicating that it was so.
"I see."
At this, Tang Chen closed his eyes, feeling his family most unfortunate.
His grandson had not only tricked that hundred-thousand-year soul beast out of its soul ring and soul bone, but even its body had not been spared. Most importantly, when they already had a child together, that beast still dared to act.
"Then what is your current situation? And how did you find this place?" Forcing down the anger in his heart, Tang Chen opened his eyes again and asked calmly.
"You are asking about the reason behind the power in my body?" Tang San asked cautiously.\
"Correct." Tang Chen nodded.
"I encountered a senior who passed down a cultivation method to me. As for why I ended up here, and why I became like this, it was all orchestrated by Kong!"
Tang San did not conceal anything and told the entire story.
Of course, in these words, the lies far outweighed the truth. After all, in his current situation, he first needed to shape himself into the image of a victim.
Only then could he find the opportunity to devour the two people before him.
"It does sound rather miserable."
Hearing Tang San's explanation, Bo Saixi could not help but speak.
Forcing a Contra to absorb ten-year spirit rings for his later rings—one might as well kill him outright. Still, whether things truly were as this man claimed remained to be proven. They could not possibly rely on one person's account and believe the entire matter.
"Stay here for now."
At this, Tang Chen rubbed his forehead, feeling greatly weary. Then, with a wave of his right hand, he lifted all restrictions from Tang San's body and reminded, "But without my permission, you may not leave, nor may you use that devouring power of yours. Do you understand?"
"Your great-grandson understands. Please rest assured, great-grandfather!" Tang San hurriedly promised, presenting himself as utterly obedient.
Yet as he watched the two leave, the coldness and hunger in his eyes grew ever more intense.
He could scarcely imagine—if he managed to devour both of these Limit Douluo, and then fill all nine rings of both martial spirits, how far would his spirit power rank and his physique ascend?
…
Elsewhere, in the Divine Realm Committee, the five God Kings once again gathered.
"Everyone, have you found the whereabouts of the God King of Thunder and the Silver Dragon King?" The Evil God King, seated in the main position, was the first to ask.
"No." The Asura God shook his head with helplessness. "Not only have we not found them, but we have not even sensed their aura. It is as if they suddenly vanished."
"Indeed."
The Goddess of Life also spoke, her tone gentle. "During this period, we have searched nearly the entire lower realms and all the forbidden lands, but unfortunately, we have found no trace of them."
"To achieve such a feat, perhaps in the entire universe, only one existence remains." The God of Destruction's eyes flickered with violet light, hinting at his meaning.
"So, Destruction, you mean it was that one who acted?" The Evil God King's tone grew solemn at these words.
If it truly was that one, then matters had become troublesome. To force that existence to act meant the gravity and difficulty of the situation had already reached an irreversible level.
One must know, even in the great war between the Divine Realm and the Dragon God, that one had not stirred in the slightest.
