Shura stated bluntly that the reason he saved them was to use them as sacrifices in the future.
Tang Chen didn't dare show even the slightest displeasure. Instead, he acted as if he were honored—sweetly accepting his fate.
If things were truly hopeless, he wasn't afraid of death.But if he could live a few days longer, why refuse?Even an ant struggles to survive.
Just as the Shura God King finished speaking, Nangong Lingyun's face revealed a trace of surprise.
He didn't know that the gods had completely misunderstood his bizarre move earlier, so he was a bit surprised Shura would take out something like that.
Nangong Lingyun retracted his crossed leg, sat upright, and said with obvious implication:
"Although Judgment Law is currently only Main God level, if properly developed, it has great potential to become God King level or even higher. And it's extremely compatible with the Dao of Slaughter. You're really willing to give it up?"
Shura seemed a bit ashamed and angry.
"Just answer—are you trading or not?"
Nangong Lingyun didn't respond immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at Tang San, asking leisurely:
"Do the words you just said still count?"
This question stunned Tang San. Shock surged first, then boundless fury followed.
He had indeed said he would be a dog—but that was before the Shura God showed up. Back then, he was forced into it just to survive.
Now an actual God King was personally backing him, offering Judgment Law as a bargaining chip, yet you STILL refuse to let me go?
If he really followed through on that promise…
Becoming a weapon—nothing but missions, forever carrying out the will of others, forbidden from having any thoughts or self-awareness.
His future would be unimaginable.Enslaved, doing all the dirtiest, hardest tasks, even forced to kill his own family and clan members.
What meaning would such a life even have?
Ice-clear-but-fragile Tang San really wanted to stand up and loudly denounce this insanity.
But then he recalled the incident in Star Dou Forest—how even after reaching an agreement with the Shura God, Nangong Lingyun still killed Tang Hao's senior and several elders. He really could ignore a God King's face… and Shura hadn't done anything about it in the end.
Realizing this, Tang San instantly quieted down, not daring to move.
If he offended Nangong Lingyun and ruined the negotiation, he'd be doomed.Losing his life out of momentary pride wasn't worth it.
Tang San deliberately stalled for a few seconds, hoping the Shura God would speak up for him.
But after hearing nothing—not even a word—he quickly changed tactics and said:
"Of course it still counts. As long as you spare my life, Little San will be your dog from now on—a weapon without emotions or humanity.
Starting today, I have no name, no past or future, no self, no feelings, and certainly no ridiculous restraints like morality or compassion.
No matter how cruel or vicious the task, I will obey without question or hesitation.
I will become a root, buried deep underground, eliminating every obstacle that might threaten you, the Empire, or the Sect.
Including the remaining Haotian Sect survivors hiding outside. Even if they are my parents or relatives, I will not frown."
Tang San secretly imagined—
Since Shura came out to save him and even paid such a huge price, it meant he was valuable. Surely he wouldn't just watch Tang San become so miserable—reduced to someone else's dog.
At the same time, he could subtly expose Nangong Lingyun's intentions.Let Shura see how sinister and shameless this man truly was—wanting to erase the humanity and emotion of someone as talented as a dual martial soul, innate full soul power prodigy, turning him into a black-gloved assassin doing dirty work in the shadows.
This wasn't just slapping Tang San's face—It was slapping Shura God's face.
However… even after finishing his entire speech, Shura's expression didn't change at all.
He stood there proudly—though only his expression was proud, because his body didn't move a millimeter. Not even a hint of wanting to defend Tang San.
He simply accepted it.
Accepted… it…?
Shura God's response hit Tang San like a club to the back of the head. His heart sank instantly, realizing he might've done something incredibly stupid—again.
If Nangong Lingyun noticed the scheme behind his words… his future would be miserable.
Tang San secretly lifted his head, using the corner of his eyes to glance upward—
And saw Nangong Lingyun's lips suddenly curl into a deeply malicious, evil smile.
"Good. Since that's the case, the lives of you two will be temporarily kept for a while.
However—Tang Chen is never allowed to leave the Slaughter City for the rest of his life.
And Tang San, you must remember this well: in my heart, I REALLY want to kill you.
If one day I find even a single instance where you fail your promise—For example, a mission handled slightly poorly, or you show even the tiniest bit of personal thought…
Even just once.Even just a hair's breadth out of line—I will kill you without hesitation.
I'm very much looking forward to you making a mistake."
When Nangong Lingyun started smiling, Tang San's heart already skipped a beat.
When he finished speaking, Tang San's heartbeat exploded—pounding so violently he couldn't stop trembling.
In utter terror, he cursed Shura God furiously in his mind.
A dignified God King, acting all high and mighty, yet in front of this mere mortal soul master you don't even dare fart once—not even frown?
If all gods were like you, what's the damn point of becoming a god?
Tang San was furious enough to explode, but on the surface he forced a twisted smile and said obsequiously:
"I… I definitely won't."
He could already imagine his future—living in constant fear, trembling every day, terrified of slipping up and losing his life.
The other party would definitely give him impossible missions, or plant traps on purpose—using every method to entice him to fail, just so he could be killed.
The deal settled, the performance complete, the Shura God's projection turned into a red mist and dissipated.
Nangong Lingyun thought for a moment, then said to Tang San:
"I already have a hidden, special force under me called the Anbu. The members mostly possess dark or evil-type martial spirits.
You'll be temporarily assigned to their Intelligence Division, under the command of Deputy Chief—who also serves as Intelligence Chief—Zong Chen.
Every member of the Anbu has their own code name. Yours will be [I, Tang San, Am Really Not a Dog].
Your specialty will be exterminating the remnants of the Haotian Sect.How is it? Any objections?"
As soon as he heard the code name, a massive wave of fury erupted inside Tang San.
A man can be killed, but not insulted.This was going way too far.
In his extreme anger, he… continued being extremely angry.
But when he saw Nangong Lingyun's expectant expression—
He didn't dare show even a hint of excessive emotion.Not gritting teeth, not frowning, not clenching fists—nothing.
Instead, he obediently replied:
"'I, Tang San, Am Really Not a Dog' obeys. 'I, Tang San, Am Really Not a Dog' has no issues."
