Chapter 290: The High-Spirited Tang San — Teacher, I'm Sorry!
"Milord, who do you want me to seduce?"
Upon learning that her survival depended only on seducing one person, Biluó was immediately filled with a strong desire to live. She couldn't help but urgently ask Lin Yu.
"You don't need to know who it is just yet. Let me first tell you what kind of appearance you need to have, and what kind of personality you need to portray. Only then will your mission have a better chance of success..."
In response to Biluó's anxious inquiry, Lin Yu simply waved his hand indifferently and proceeded to describe the persona he believed would be most likely to win Tang San's heart.
First and foremost, appearance — of course, she needed to be beautiful. But not the overly seductive, flirtatious kind that looked like a courtesan. Rather, she should appear refined and elegant, like a lady from a noble family.
Next, considering that Tang San's previous life came from an ancient world…
In that era, the most favored women were those with gentle personalities. Ideally, she should also possess a pure and holy temperament — someone akin to Shi Feixuan from Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty in Lin Yu's past life.
Additionally, in order to gain Tang San's trust and closeness, Lin Yu gave Biluó a fabricated backstory involving deep hatred for Spirit Hall, making it easier to unite with Tang San over a common enemy.
According to Lin Yu's plan, Biluó was the orphan of a soul master clan.
This clan had accidentally come into possession of a soul bone, but word leaked out and Spirit Hall found out. As a result, they were wiped out, and the soul bone was taken.
Only Biluó, who had been attending a soul master academy at the time, escaped the massacre.
However, once Spirit Hall tracked her down, she was also hunted relentlessly. After enduring countless hardships, she finally managed to hide within Slaughter City.
There were other details, but not all of them needed to be explained.
Beyond appearance and persona, the mission also required a proper opportunity and setting for Biluó and Tang San to meet, get to know each other, and form a bond.
All of this required careful planning from Lin Yu.
But there was no need to rush.
The protagonist, Lin Yu, was already in place. As for side characters, he could easily find some fallen soul masters in Slaughter City, beat them up, and coerce them into playing their roles — a simple task.
After finishing his instructions to Biluó, Lin Yu punched the ground and left a large crater behind, coldly demonstrating the consequences of disobedience.
Finally, he took Biluó to the outer district of Slaughter City, pointed out a location where she would operate from now on, and then turned to leave gracefully.
After Lin Yu departed—
Biluó quickly summoned her Illusion Conch Martial Soul, activating its illusion ability. She disguised herself as a skinny, emaciated fallen soul master with a dazed expression, slumping in a corner.
Slaughter City was a place where people got eaten.
Previously, Biluó had used her illusions to disguise herself as a beautiful woman, relying on powerful fallen soul masters for protection and a better life.
But after Lin Yu killed her protector, the Black Yama King, she had lost her support. Living as she did before was no longer possible.
Seeking another protector was also not an option. With the mission Lin Yu had given her and the fear of being caught trying to run, Biluó didn't dare make a move.
So, she could only hide in the outer district of Slaughter City, pretending to be a dying fallen soul master.
...
In the days that followed, Lin Yu continued working on creating a "perfect" encounter between Tang San and Biluó. Over half a month, he managed to subdue more than ten fallen soul masters across both the inner and outer districts of Slaughter City.
Meanwhile, Tang San remained unaware of Lin Yu's efforts.
Ever since Liu Erlong had arrived in Slaughter City, Tang San had relied on her for protection.
To improve his strength, Tang San frequently sought out fallen soul masters in the outer district for battle, using them to refine his mastery of various sect techniques, including the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method and Tang Sect skills.
With Liu Erlong watching his back, Tang San fought without pressure. When they encountered strong opponents, Liu Erlong would step in to injure or drive them away, leaving only manageable foes for Tang San.
As a result, Tang San's strength had increased significantly over the past month.
This progress left Tang San feeling quite confident and proud. He believed more and more in his hope of leaving Slaughter City, avenging his father Tang Hao, and taking down Spirit Hall.
But a month later—
As the day to pay the Bloody Mary tribute approached, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were exempt from participating in the Hell Slaughter Arena due to their ability to pay.
However, Lin Yu and Liu Erlong still needed to go to the inner district for the event.
With Lin Yu and Liu Erlong gone, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang resumed training and studying on their own.
At the same time, the plan Lin Yu had prepared for so long finally began.
Not long after Lin Yu and Liu Erlong left—
A group of fallen soul masters quickly gathered not far from the alley where Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were located. After exchanging glances and nods, they moved toward Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang was teaching Tang San about soul beasts.
Suddenly, Tang San heard a series of footsteps — it sounded like a large group was approaching.
He frowned and looked toward the sound, only to see a group of black-robed, masked fallen soul masters arriving at the alley entrance.
"Brothers, that's the brat! That's the one who's been beating people up in the outer district of Slaughter City every day!!"
Upon reaching the alley, one of the fallen soul masters angrily shouted and pointed directly at Tang San.
Crap!!!
Hearing the shout, Tang San instantly felt a sense of dread. His hair stood on end, and without thinking further, he grabbed his teacher Yu Xiaogang and sprinted deeper into the alley.
These were the people he had angered during his many battles in the outer district with Aunt Erlong — and they were now here for revenge!
Yu Xiaogang wasn't stupid either. Upon hearing the angry shout, he immediately understood the situation and fled alongside his student.
With Erlong and that kid Long Aotian not around, if they got caught by these fallen soul masters, they'd be beaten to a pulp. They had to hold out until Erlong and the others returned!
"Chase them down, brothers!!"
As Tang San and Yu Xiaogang fled, furious roars came from behind. One by one, the black-robed soul masters summoned their martial souls and gave chase.
And whether by coincidence or planning, several of these fallen soul masters happened to be agility-type Soul Kings. They quickly caught up and blocked Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's path.
"Xiao San, run!!"
Seeing the path ahead blocked, and knowing he was dragging his disciple down, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, let go of Tang San's hand, and shouted anxiously before launching himself toward one of the agility-type Soul Kings.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as he had hoped.
He didn't even manage to reach the opponent before that agility-type soul master kicked Yu Xiaogang away with a single strike.
Yu Xiaogang crashed into a wall and immediately lost consciousness.
"Teacher!!!"
Seeing his teacher kicked away and knocked out, Tang San was filled with panic and rage, but there was nothing he could do — he had to keep running.
He still needed to grow stronger. He had to leave Slaughter City and avenge his father Tang Hao against Spirit Hall.
If he were caught now and beaten up, especially if he bled too much again, who knew how long it would take to recover?
Teacher… I'm sorry!!
