Tang San had clearly absorbed the lesson from the last incident with Haozi: for the sake of personal gain, everything else could be abandoned.
His own life was the greatest interest—lose it, and all else, be it family, dreams, freedom, reputation, or dignity, would become illusions, meaningless.
Because of this, that damaged brain of his began to miraculously overdrive, tossing out every thought he could come up with, leaving nothing unspoken.
First, he threw all the blame onto Tang Hao, dumping every bit of dirt he could imagine while trying to display just how pure and untainted he actually was.
Especially regarding a few matters Nangong Lingyun had once mentioned—he completely fabricated them, whether they were grounded in truth or not.
After all, who ran first?Abandoning both grandfather and grandson without hesitation—shameless, and running so fast he detonated the spirit ring immediately, giving everyone else no time to react.
After cleaning his name, he immediately demonstrated loyalty.
For that, he had to thank Tuan Zang for the inspiration—like roots sustaining a great tree in darkness, strong and detailed setup.
In a sect, in a nation, someone must be the face, someone must be the root.
The face must remain spotless; if blood is shed, the root must contain it. Fail to contain it, and it spills onto the face—a calamity that could destroy a sect.
A single cigarette to preserve appearances could require the elimination of a person in secret.
Tang San could be Nangong Lingyun's root, the hidden protector of Kaiyuan Sect in the shadows.
He himself had done nothing wrong—he was a victim.Being almost indispensable to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he should be able to survive, right?
However, when Tang San slightly raised his head and caught Nangong Lingyun's expression out of the corner of his eye,the anticipation in his heart instantly collapsed into a heavy, indescribable weight.
Because the other party showed no sign of emotion—calm, indifferent, even somewhat scornful and mocking.
Compared to Tang San, Tang Chen faced the coming fate with relative calm.
After failing to contact the Asura God, he stood quietly in place, taking no unnecessary action.
Watching the supposedly pure Tang San cry and angrily denounce Tang Hao, his eyes flickered with an unusual color, as if seeing the once obedient great-grandson in a new light.
Yet he said nothing to contradict or undermine—the sect's destruction was already inevitable. Against such people, even he had little power to resist.
No matter how anyone survived, as long as the bloodline continued, it would be good.
Hundreds of years later, when Kaiyuan Sect and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had declined, there might still be hope of restoring past glory.
Tang Hao was already doomed—what difference would bearing more blame make?
"Perhaps you have some point, but one act of disloyalty, and I won't forgive a hundred more.
I'll use the fate of the Haotian Sect to warn those with ill intentions—only when you're dead, a mere corpse, will you serve your greatest purpose."
Nangong Lingyun spoke with a righteous air,but inwardly he was puzzled. What was going on with the Asura God? Dropped the ball at a critical moment? He had revealed his identity for over a minute with no response?
Shouldn't he be coming out, begging me to spare Tang San?If he doesn't show, how can I continue this act?
If the rest of the Haotian Sect perished, fine—but the "piggy bank" of the seemingly pure Tang San couldn't just be destroyed, could it?
During the Feixian assessment, the highest single-day reward had been 58 million points, when Tang San had believed enemy lies and betrayed teammates, only to be double-crossed himself.On normal days, the minimum was still five or six million, incredibly stable.
To put that in perspective, a god-level million-year soul bone was only 50 million; the Changsheng Technique had only been 25 million.Such a continuous stream of wealth could not be squandered. Any fool who ended the opportunity early clearly had a problem; every bit of value must be squeezed out.
If he put Tang San, Tang Chen, and Haozi through some hardship, not only could he enter the divine realm, but even turning Feixian City into a reality might not be impossible.
Thinking this, Nangong Lingyun moved to contact the God of Destruction:"God King, are you there?"
They had met Asura briefly in the Star Dou Great Forest, and Destruction had sent people from the Sun and Moon Continent to Tiandou City.They had agreed on a series of deals and left contact information, along with a purple hammer imbued with destructive power.
"What's the matter?"
Upon receiving a response, Nangong Lingyun immediately transmitted the full backstory of the Tang San incident—including the final scolding of Tang Hao, the loyalty display, and the desire to become the dark guardian of the empire.
He then added:
"God King, I think he has some reason—after all, twin martial souls, extraordinary talent.And if the Haotian Sect leader's biological son and disciple personally identify Haotian Sect and Yuxiao Gang's harm to civilian geniuses, it helps me spread faith and create a divine position.
But earlier, I exaggerated, and now I can't easily back down. You must go see Asura and make him appear, begging me to spare Tang Chen, and by extension Tang San.
Also, last time his bargaining chips were the godly test site and the divine spirit ring.If he has no chips this time, it feels unreal—have him bring something valuable. I can use Xuanwu Internal Skill as the exchange.
Even at its peak, this technique has no problem with supreme cultivation and excels at bursts—it suits him perfectly."
Gods didn't need sleep, and they reacted quickly.
After a minute without movement, Nangong Lingyun realized Asura had abandoned both—neither Tang San nor Tang Chen would be saved.
The last bleeding had been too severe; the landlord had no spare resources.Tang Chen's assessment had already failed, and Tang San in his current state was hopeless.
They might even be considering how to restore Bibi Dong, using her to replace Tang Chen.
He had learned from Destruction that Asura and Rasetsu were a couple.
Thus, it was reasonable to deduce that Bibi Dong's Rasetsu inheritance had actually been created after Asura killed the angel god, stole the Judgment Laws, and planned to wipe out the Martial Soul Hall and Six-Wing Angel inheritance to eliminate future threats.
Since she was his wife's heir, internal transfers or even dual divine positions were perfectly normal and simple.
With the plan disrupted, Nangong Lingyun had no choice but to resort to this last measure.
Xuanwu Internal Skill was among the top ten martial techniques, an internal cultivation manual practiced by many key subordinates, including Jing Ling, Jerry, and several vice deans.Kaiyuan Sect's many awakened golden and silver disciples had gained much from it.
Originally, it had been a gift; sending another set to Asura posed no problem.
As for reaching the supreme level—ordinary Xuantian Skill could already reach God King level. The price of Xuanwu True Skill exceeded Xuantian Baolu by eight times. Saying "supreme" not only didn't exaggerate—it actually understated its value.
