Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Why Didn’t Tang San Just Kill Hu Liena in the City of Slaughter?

Su Ming actually guessed one thing correctly: Bibi Dong had indeed secretly provided Hu Liena with extra resources. She'd drawn a fifty-thousand-year-old left leg bone from the treasury, specifically to enhance Hu Liena's agility by 300%, increasing her ability to evade incoming soul skills.

With Su Ming's own team as a threat, Hu Liena's ability to handle close-range fighters like Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had to be reinforced. She couldn't afford to be cornered without a chance to react.

Now that Bibi Dong had mended her relationship with Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu had fully transferred decision-making to her, granting her authority to make calls in Spirit Hall's best interests, so long as she didn't overstep. Even so, providing Hu Liena with the fifty-thousand-year soul bone was the limit, a privilege granted only because Hu Liena was her chosen successor for the Saintess title.

Compared to Qian Renxue, who had earned merit with Spirit Hall for years, Hu Liena's accomplishments still fell short. Qian Renxue had been on her infiltration mission for over a decade, working toward Spirit Hall's long-term goals. Added to this, the recent gifts of two soul bones for Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, plus the three championship soul bone prizes, had taken a toll on the Hall's high-grade soul bone reserves.

Even with these preparations, Bibi Dong felt little confidence that Spirit Hall's team could defeat Su Ming's Heaven Dou team; after all, his team was outrageously overpowered with six members carrying diary blessings, compared to Spirit Hall's sole Hu Liena.

sigh What could she say? Su Ming's team was built to be unbeatable.

Then an idea struck her: wasn't Qian Renxue still young enough to participate? Perhaps she could join the Spirit Hall team and bring her unique strength to this competition!

As for the team roster? Qian Renxue could always be designated as a backup, held in reserve as their secret weapon until the final match. And if her identity as her daughter came to light, that wouldn't bother her. After all, she couldn't care less about Yu Xiaogang's opinion.

Qian Renxue would likely relish a showdown with Su Ming to test who was stronger.

"Elder Ghost!" Bibi Dong's call echoed through the empty hall.

"At your service!" Ghost Douluo appeared immediately at the base of the throne steps.

Standing beside Bibi Dong, Hu Liena was curious about what this late-night summons could mean.

"Elder Ghost, I hear you recently accompanied Su Ming and his young friend to Death Canyon?" Bibi Dong didn't get straight to the point, choosing instead to ask about unrelated matters.

Ghost Douluo respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. Su Ming and Zhu Zhuqing mentioned that once the tournament ends, they're interested in joining Spirit Hall if you're willing. So, they had a request, and I took them to obtain Zhu Zhuqing's fifth soul ring."

"Privately, I even accepted Zhu Zhuqing as my final disciple. She has truly impressed me." Ghost Douluo smiled slightly, lifting his head.

"Uncle Ghost, y-your face!" Hu Liena exclaimed in shock.

Ghost Douluo gave a calm smile. "Nana, Su Ming helped me remove the black markings on my face. Ha ha!"

Bibi Dong and Hu Liena, although already aware, were still taken aback by his new appearance. The "new" Ghost Douluo looked strikingly different.

"Elder Ghost," Bibi Dong said in a measured tone, "since it's late, could you go find Xue'er and bring her here? There's something of great importance for Spirit Hall's honor that I need her to do."

Ghost Douluo didn't entirely understand the request, but he knew he'd soon be informed once Qian Renxue arrived. Without further comment, he left to fetch her.

Meanwhile, Su Ming's diary continued.

"But back to Hu Liena for a second; I have to roast her a bit. Let's be real here—she's a total looks-obsessed, love-struck, ungrateful wolf!"

Thunk!

Hu Liena had a feeling this was coming. The moment she saw her name, a chill ran through her. And now… the moment had arrived.

She glanced nervously at Bibi Dong, who was already emitting a fierce, cold aura. Oh no…

It wasn't untrue that Hu Liena was looks-oriented, but what was this "love-struck" and "ungrateful" nonsense?

Then it hit her. If Su Ming called her "love-struck," was he referring to her crush on Tang San? If that was true, she, her teacher, and her cousin Qian Renxue would all be labeled love-struck! How absurd!

Then, as she read on, her suspicions were confirmed.

"After Spirit Hall's team lost in the tournament, Bibi Dong decided to send the Golden Generation—Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan—to train in Death Canyon. Hu Liena, however, for some baffling reason, decided to go to the City of Slaughter."

Hu Liena: …

"This led to a strange turn in her fate with Tang San. By then, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline had fully awakened, and at his father Tang Hao's urging, he, too, ventured to the City of Slaughter to train. Both of them went there to obtain the Killing God Domain."

Hu Liena: I knew it. I'm doomed.

Her face turned pale as she dreaded whatever punishment Su Ming's entry might bring once he finished the diary.

"And with his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline awakened, Tang San's appearance changed dramatically, making him even more handsome—credit to Ah Yin's genes for bringing Tang San's face up a few levels. Of course, since soul skills couldn't be used in the City of Slaughter, Tang San relied solely on his Clear Sky Hammer."

Ah Yin: Was that a compliment or an insult?

"I mean, Blue Silver Emperor had zero self-created soul skills. But at least Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer and his chaotic cloak technique were enough for him."

"Both managed to achieve one hundred consecutive wins in the City of Slaughter. Hu Liena became curious about Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer and his powerful skills. At some point, Tang San realized the 'Yellow Spring Dew' they drank daily was poisonous, so he made an antidote… and then, of all people, offered it to Hu Liena! Talk about interesting."

"Tang San, of course, knew exactly who Hu Liena was, yet Hu Liena had no idea who he was. Knowing she was a member of Spirit Hall and, technically, an enemy, why on earth did Tang San offer to partner with her? Was he just looking for trouble?"

Hu Liena: …

"The reason Tang San gave was that they could both gain the Killing God Domain faster by working together, staggering their training times to avoid facing each other. But here's the part that makes no sense to me: after the tournament, Spirit Hall marked Tang San and Xiao Wu for death. So why, when he had the perfect chance in the City of Slaughter, didn't he just kill Hu Liena? Why did he seek her out as an 'ally'?"


Chapter 463: Chapter 463: The Foolish Hu Liena, News of Tang Chen

"I can only say that Tang San's mind is exceedingly deep. He deliberately left a subtle mark on Hu Liena, a 'dark pawn' if you will, so that when Hu Liena eventually discovered his true identity, she'd already be prepared to accept it. The key was to make sure Hu Liena fell in love with him during their trials in the City of Slaughter!"

Hu Liena: ???

"The more I think about it, the more issues I see here. Hu Liena unwittingly fell right into his trap, even requesting that Tang San remove his mask. Once she saw his transformed appearance, she was completely captivated and even asked for his name."

"Tang San naturally didn't reveal his real name and instead called himself 'Tang Yin.' A keen observer could guess the meaning—possessing the Clear Sky Hammer spirit and using the character 'Yin' from Ah Yin and Blue Silver Emperor… fitting, right?"

"Of course, this is my 'God's eye view' analysis, so it's easy to judge her in hindsight. At the time, Hu Liena was deeply involved, and it's true that those in the midst of events often lack perspective."

"Her flaw is being a looks-obsessed, impulsive fool just like Bibi Dong in her youth!"

Bibi Dong: …

In the grand hall, Hu Liena felt the air chill as Bibi Dong's icy aura rose. Oh no… Su Ming is really out to finish me off, she thought desperately.

Meanwhile, in her room, Qian Renxue couldn't help but chuckle. Poor Hu Liena, her fixation on looks and impulsive decisions are coming back to bite her. The description of Bibi Dong as a "theory master" was spot on; Hu Liena's foolishness was hard to deny.

"Your Highness," Ghost Douluo suddenly appeared before Qian Renxue.

"Ghost Elder," Qian Renxue said, surprised. "What brings you here instead of resting in the Hall?"

Ghost Douluo explained, "The Pope has summoned you. She said it's a matter of utmost importance for the honor of Spirit Hall."

Qian Renxue nodded, intrigued. Spirit Hall's honor? This sounds serious.

Then, Ghost Douluo enveloped them in concealment as they headed to the Spirit Hall.

"Later, Hu Liena naturally asked if Tang Yin came from the Clear Sky Clan and why he was in the City of Slaughter."

"As I recall, Tang San delivered a tale of woe, saying he was an outsider abandoned since childhood, unsure if the Clear Sky Clan would ever accept him back."

"And Hu Liena, ever the romantic fool, believed him immediately, even extending an invitation to join Spirit Hall once they left the City of Slaughter together!"

"Unbelievable."

"Has Hu Liena really learned nothing from her time with Bibi Dong? The Clear Sky Clan has been in seclusion for ages, and the only two Clear Sky Clan members left outside are Tang Hao and Tang San!"

"Technically, Tang Chen is also out there, but it's understandable that Hu Liena wouldn't know that."

"Considering Tang San had already shown his Clear Sky Hammer, the fact that Hu Liena still believed him proves the old saying true: love can make people incredibly dense."

"Hu Liena's mistake isn't unique. Bibi Dong and even Qian Renxue made similar blunders, while Xiao Wu was the most egregious case, dedicating her life to being Tang San's support, his loyal 'tool' to do whatever he needed."

Xiao Wu: …

Xiao Wu was a bit stung but had grown numb to Su Ming's commentary. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, however, couldn't help but chuckle at her expense.

"At that point, Tang San's story was riddled with holes. Anyone who knew Clear Sky Clan's history or Tang San's background could have seen through it, but not Hu Liena."

"After both achieved a hundred consecutive victories, they decided to embark on Hell Road, their final trial in the City of Slaughter, for the Killing God Domain."

"Curiously, the Slaughter King was so wary of their success that he offered to let them bypass Hell Road and grant them the Killing God title, along with unrestricted access to the city."

"At the time, I couldn't fathom why the Slaughter King feared these two obtaining the Killing God Domain. Though they were descendants of Bibi Dong and Tang Hao, both Killing God titleholders, that alone shouldn't have threatened his position."

"Later, I learned that the Slaughter King was no longer the original Slaughter King!"

"Long ago, the Slaughter King had actually been Tang Chen—Tang San's great-grandfather and rival to Qian Daoliu. He was also, in some sense, the lover of Bo Saixi."

Tang Chen?!

Seeing Tang Chen's name, both Bibi Dong in Spirit Hall and Bo Saixi in Sea God Island reacted instinctively, their presences intensifying, especially Bo Saixi's.

It had been centuries since she'd last heard any word of Tang Chen. She'd assumed he'd perished.

Could he have been the Slaughter King all along? A disquieting premonition rose within her. She still held feelings for Tang Chen; if something had happened to him, she feared the worst.

As for the diary's content, her insight told her it required some sort of "price" in return. Given its focus, she suspected the price might involve… a relationship with Su Ming. Though she respected Su Ming's character, skill, and even appearance, her long-buried affection for Tang Chen was still strong.

"No need to worry," the system interjected to itself. "Tang Chen will soon meet his end."

"Tang Chen had come to the City of Slaughter by chance after leaving Sea God Island, knowing it was one of the few places to seek godly inheritance."
