—------------------—
Because he was still unable to perfectly control the Killing Intent within his body, a cold Evil Qi would invisibly emanate from him. If he were to enter a city in his current state, he would inevitably attract a lot of attention.
He had not forgotten that he still carried the title of a Fallen Soul Master.
So, all the way, he did not enter any cities, heading straight towards Heaven Dou City.
If he had the help of his aunt, Dean Tang, he believed he could control the Killing Intent within his body in less than a month.
Traveling at high speed, in just six days, Tang San appeared outside Heaven Dou City.
Although six days had passed, Tang San still hadn't recovered from the atmosphere of Slaughter City. After carefully disguising himself as he had looked when he studied at Moon Pavilion, Tang San then mingled with the crowd when there were many people and entered Heaven Dou City.
After entering Heaven Dou City, he remained very cautious, taking a circuitous route, and finally arrived outside Moon Pavilion.
To avoid being too conspicuous, Tang San specifically changed into luxurious clothing.
Moon Pavilion, as a refined establishment, did not receive those who were improperly dressed. Tang San still knew this rule.
Relying on his attire, Tang San easily entered the first floor of Moon Pavilion.
Tang San slowly stepped forward, trying his best to make his expression gentle. He walked to the desk and said to a tall young woman at the head of the table, "Excuse me, please tell Dean Tang that an old friend has come to visit."
The young woman was stunned for a moment. Sensing the cold aura emanating from Tang San, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. "You are..."
Tang San's eyes slightly narrowed, and he slowly spoke, "Just tell Dean Tang that Tang Yin is visiting."
"Tang Yin?" The young woman seemed to have thought of something, her eyes shifting slightly. She nodded and said, "Please wait a moment."
"No." Tang San frowned. Although the young woman's change in expression was very subtle, it still caught Tang San's attention.
He now maintained a habit of suspicion towards everything. Seeing the young woman heading up the nearby stairs, Tang San directly took a stride and grabbed her. "What are you trying to do?"
Terrifying Killing Intent burst forth from Tang San's scarlet eyes.
"Ah!" The young woman had never seen such a scene. After screaming, she collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with terror, her body trembling uncontrollably on the ground. "I... I was going to inform the Madam."
"What's going on?" Hearing the commotion downstairs, a middle-aged man in a purple robe walked down from upstairs.
When the purple-robed middle-aged man's gaze fell on Tang San, his brows immediately furrowed. He said with some uncertainty, "Tang Yin?"
Tang San looked up at the purple-robed middle-aged man. "Steward Aude."
"Tang Yin, what are you doing? Have you forgotten the Madam's teachings to you?" Steward Aude directly reprimanded him angrily.
Tang San suppressed the Killing Intent in his eyes, released his hand, and said coldly, "She has a problem."
Steward Aude's brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the young woman and asked, "Xiao Lan, what's wrong?"
The young woman named Xiao Lan, trembling and covering her already purplish hand, quickly retreated and said, "Steward Aude, just now Tang Yin came to the desk and said he wanted to see the Madam. After I asked for his identity, I was about to go inform the Madam, but who knew, for some reason, he suddenly attacked me."
Steward Aude looked at the others. "Is that so?"
"Yes, Steward, Xiao Lan's reception was without issue." The other young women also replied in unison.
"Tang Yin, you say Xiao Lan has a problem, but what evidence do you have?" Steward Aude looked at Tang San. When he felt the coldness emanating from Tang San's body, his brows furrowed even tighter.
Tang San's gaze coldly swept over Xiao Lan. "Her eyes are not right."
Tang San clenched his fists. If it had been anyone else who had reprimanded him like this, he would have likely already acted. It was only because Moon Pavilion was his aunt's place, and he didn't want to stain this place with blood, that he forcefully suppressed his Killing Intent and said coldly, "I came to see my aunt, not to listen to your lecture!"
Seeing this, Steward Aude shook his head even more, and said to Xiao Lan, "Xiao Lan, you go rest first."
Then he looked at Tang San and said coldly, "Follow me!"
Tang San slowly followed.
The two quickly arrived on the third floor.
"You wait here." Steward Aude glanced at Tang San and continued to walk upstairs.
A moment later, Dean Tang walked down with Steward Aude. When she saw Tang San, Dean Tang's eyes immediately reddened a few shades. "You're back."
Tang San looked at his relative, and the Killing Intent in his heart couldn't help but melt away a bit. He walked in front of Dean Tang and softly called out, "Aunt."
"Come with me." Dean Tang tightly held Tang San's hand and led him towards the top floor.
Returning to a familiar environment, the tightly strung cord in Tang San's heart finally loosened a bit. "Aunt, do you know where Dad went?"
Dean Tang's figure trembled slightly, her eyes a bit red. She stepped forward and hugged Tang San, saying, "Perhaps he was delayed by something. It's good that you're out. You don't know, in the two years you were in Slaughter City, I, your aunt, was so worried."
Tang San keenly sensed that his aunt seemed to be hiding something from him. He tentatively asked, "Aunt, has anything major happened on the continent in the past two years?"
"What major event could there be?" Dean Tang shook her head, looked at Tang San, and said, "Xiao San, you've just come out of Slaughter City, and your Killing Intent isn't perfectly controlled yet. For this period, stay with me and don't go out freely to avoid unnecessary trouble. With your previous foundation, you should be able to internalize it within two months. You've been in a place like Slaughter City for so long, it's time you had a good period of relaxation."
Tang San nodded and said, "Oh right, Aunt, I suspect Xiao Lan, who is responsible for reception in the lobby on the first floor, has a problem."
"What's wrong with her? Steward Aude just told me about this too."
"I can't say exactly what the problem is, but when I mentioned the name Tang Yin, Xiao Lan's gaze towards me was abnormal."
Dean Tang comforted him, "Perhaps it's because you've just come out of Slaughter City and are too sensitive. Don't worry. Xiao Lan has been an old employee at Moon Pavilion for several years. Maybe she's heard your name before?"
"Perhaps."
Tang San nodded. If it were before, he might have thought it was his own illusion, but now he was certain that his aunt was definitely hiding something from him.
... ...
Crown Prince Residence.
"Your Highness, the spy from Moon Pavilion sent news that Tang Yin has returned to Moon Pavilion."
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe slowly looked up at the spy who had come to report. "Did you find anything unusual?"
"Killing Intent?" Xue Qinghe nodded. "I understand. You may leave."
Xue Qinghe had suspected before that Tang Yin was Tang San, but Tang San's current blatant entry into Moon Pavilion, causing all this commotion, not to mention the Killing Intent emanating from him, instead made Xue Qinghe somewhat confused.
Tang San was undoubtedly intelligent; this action did not align with his understanding of Tang San.
"Find an opportunity to test him."
... ...
At the same time.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Begin." Gu Yuena's cold voice came.
Shi Quan, beside her, nodded, and his figure split into three.
Zhuang Zhou's Incarnation, Houtu's Incarnation, and Shi Quan's main body appeared simultaneously.
In front of the four was a huge Armored Mountain Pig.
Shi Quan's main body moved first. Seven spirit rings slowly rose from beneath his feet, and a soft, golden-green light spread from Shi Quan's hand, slowly enveloping the Armored Mountain Pig.
The Armored Mountain Pig's body trembled slightly, then it lay prostrate there.
With Gu Yuena by its side, the Armored Mountain Pig dared not resist at all, cooperating obediently.
"Life Origin control successful!"
Shi Quan, Zhuang Zhou, and Houtu, a trinity with connected minds, a phantom appeared behind Zhuang Zhou, and similarly seven spirit rings emerged. A soft, brilliant silver light appeared behind Zhuang Zhou's Incarnation, and a powerful mental force transformed into a silver ray that shot into the Armored Mountain Pig's forehead.
Zhuang Zhou slowly said, "Soul imprint and mental Origin confirmed."
Zhuang Zhou and Shi Quan exchanged a glance and moved simultaneously. Zhuang Zhou was responsible for guiding the Armored Mountain Pig to control its own mental force, while Shi Quan controlled the Life Origin within the Armored Mountain Pig's body to merge with the mental Origin and Soul imprint.
Houtu also acted at this time, the stability of the earth becoming an additive for the condensation of the two.
Gu Yuena on the side watched Shi Quan's movements intently.
After a full fifteen minutes, the golden-green light and brilliant silver light on the Armored Mountain Pig's body intensified, and the two began to intertwine.
At the same time, the intertwining light began to surge forward from the Armored Mountain Pig's tail. Wherever the light reached, its body became withered and dim. And the light moving forward became increasingly brighter.
Finally, the intertwining light completely condensed at the Armored Mountain Pig's head. The golden light was intense, and the appearance of the Armored Mountain Pig was no longer visible.
The aura on Shi Quan, Zhuang Zhou, and Houtu's bodies suddenly erupted, and the seventh spirit ring on each of their bodies suddenly shone brightly.
The Blue Silver Emperor Tree in Shi Quan's hand suddenly expanded, and the powerful Life aura caused all the plants in the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy to prostrate.
The phantom behind Zhuang Zhou also burst forth with light, instantly engulfing Zhuang Zhou entirely, transforming him into the Spirit of Reincarnation.
Black and white intertwining light shot into the sky. Although it was daytime, within a radius of several hundred meters, it was as if day and night were alternating. The intense mental force fluctuations caused everyone in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to change their expressions, especially the Three Great Committee Members, who shot out from the direction of the Education Committee building.
"Again?" Bai Baoshan looked at the research institute's location with a helpless expression.
Meng Shenji also had a helpless look. "This fluctuation is greater than any previous one. To be safe, let's go take a look."
The reason the three of them were like this was mainly because for the past six months, Shi Quan would cause a considerable commotion every now and then. In the beginning, they thought someone was attacking Shi Quan again. If Dugu Bo hadn't personally come out to explain that he was conducting an experiment, they would have definitely rushed in directly.
Later, this situation continued to occur intermittently, and gradually, the people in the academy got used to it...
