Flender's heart was extremely complicated at this moment.
The child inside Liu Erlong's belly was clearly his.
Half a year ago, after the Grandmaster's incident, Liu Erlong had tried to seek death several times, only to be saved by Flender, who had been watching her closely, each time by a narrow margin.
Flender had exhausted every means, even going so far as to threaten death himself, and finally made Liu Erlong gradually give up the idea of seeking death.
Regarding Liu Erlong's pregnancy, the happiest person was undoubtedly Flender.
He was already past fifty, never expecting that he could still have a child in his old age, and one that was the crystallization of himself and the woman he loved.
Although Liu Erlong had not completely accepted Flender, for the sake of the child, her relationship with Flender had already improved a great deal.
She had once discussed it with Flender: this child must take the Grandmaster's surname.
Flender had always felt that he owed the Grandmaster and owed Liu Erlong, so he agreed.
Zhao Wuji also knew the truth.
He knew that the Grandmaster had been stimulated by that scene between Flender and Liu Erlong back then, which was why he had run to the Sunset Forest and been bitten to death by a spirit beast.
But the Grandmaster was already dead. If he spoke the truth, they would probably be unable to withstand Tang San's fury.
They all knew of Tang San's deep feelings for the Grandmaster.
Therefore, Zhao Wuji never mentioned the Grandmaster's true cause of death. Although he felt extremely guilty in his heart, there was nothing he could do.
The deceased were gone; there was no need to let everyone suffer more harm.
Hearing Liu Erlong say that this was the Grandmaster's child, Tang San's heart finally felt a little better.
"I want to go pay respects to Teacher first," Tang San said.
Suddenly hearing the news of the Grandmaster's death, he had no mind to arrange the retreat of Flender and the others.
Everything would have to wait until after paying respects to the Grandmaster.
"I'll take you there." Flender sighed and walked out first.
Everyone in the hall followed.
The Grandmaster's remains were buried within Shrek Academy.
Back when the news of the Grandmaster's death had spread, quite a few people had come to pay their respects.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which had already moved to Spirit City, had also sent people over, wanting to take the Grandmaster's body back to the clan, but they had been refused by Liu Erlong.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's allegiance to Spirit Hall was a pain in the hearts of both the Grandmaster and her. How could she possibly hand the Grandmaster's remains over to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
Everyone paid their respects to the Grandmaster, and then Tang San stayed there alone to accompany the Grandmaster for several hours.
Only after night fell did Tang San return from the Grandmaster's grave and discuss the retreat arrangements with Flender and the others.
Flender and the others had no objections.
Although they were very reluctant to leave Shrek Academy, they heard Tang San say that this departure would not be for too long.
Regarding the fact that all seven of Tang San's group had reached the cultivation of Titled Douluo, these seniors of Flender's generation were all shocked beyond measure.
The happiest was Ning Fengzhi.
The Spirit Empire was growing stronger and stronger; he had almost given up the idea of revenge.
But now, he once again saw hope for revenge, saw hope for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to rise again.
Ning Rongrong had used one year to rise from Spirit King cultivation to Titled Douluo. Who else could do that?
He deeply understood how terrifying the amplification effect of the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was.
If it was truly as Tang San said, and all seven of them could reach the god level, then destroying the Spirit Empire would be as easy as turning one's hand.
Tang San pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Ning, rest assured, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan will definitely reappear on the Douluo Continent. I even have an idea: after the high-level members of the Spirit Empire are all executed in the future, the position of emperor will be held by you."
Ning Fengzhi's aged body trembled, revealing an incredulous expression. Looking carefully, one could still see a trace of excitement in his eyes.
Tang San continued, "Don't decline. Only you possess the greatest ability to govern the country."
"Alright." Ning Fengzhi nodded heavily, the desire to live already burning in his heart.
Some of the death-seeking thoughts that had previously sprouted also vanished like smoke.
People only want to seek death when they are in despair. After seeing hope, who would still want to die?
…
On the evening of the second day, Flender, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and Ning Fengzhi left Heaven Dou City and headed west.
No one discovered that several high-level members of Shrek Academy had left.
After they left, Tang San and the others finally set out for the vicinity of Slaughter City to wait for Jiang Chen.
This was the information the Sea God had given them. Before breaking through to Titled Douluo, Jiang Chen would definitely come to Slaughter City.
This time would not exceed two months at most.
They only needed to wait for the rabbit by the tree stump and then easily kill it.
Three days later.
Tang San's group of seven arrived at the small town above Slaughter City.
They chose a relatively good hotel to stay in. The Sea God had once told Tang San that if Jiang Chen came, he would give him a warning.
So they only needed to wait here peacefully.
"Yo, three great beauties."
Beauties bringing disaster. Just as Tang San and the others sat down in the hotel lobby, the looks of Xiao Wu and the other two girls attracted a group of bare-chested big men who surrounded them.
The looks of Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were among the most top-tier even on the Douluo Continent.
These ruthless and evil fellows had never seen such tender and beautiful women. Immediately, every one of them was drooling, and the roots of their evil were already stirring restlessly.
More than ten burly big men approached. The heavy smell of sweat accompanied by filthy words, along with those extremely lewd actions, made the faces of Ning Rongrong and the other two girls extremely ugly.
"You're seeking death!" Dai Mubai roared and abruptly stood up.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar also stood up at the same time, already extremely enraged. Only Tang San still sat calmly.
"A bunch of pretty boys, talking pretty big." One big man spat with a "tui," a large mouthful of thick phlegm landing on Tang San and the others' table.
Just at this moment, countless Blue Silver Grass suddenly shot up from the floor of the restaurant.
Puff puff puff…
This Blue Silver Grass was incomparably hard and sharp, directly piercing into the bodies of these burly big men and blooming inside them.
The branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Grass broke out from within their bodies, carrying scarlet blood that splattered everywhere, as if blooming flowers.
This scene was incomparably bloody and brutal.
"You… how dare you kill people here?" One big man who had not yet died completely let out an unwilling roar.
Tang San's mind stirred, and the Blue Silver Grass retracted. Continuous thudding sounds rang out.
The ground was already covered with corpses, blood spreading across the entire floor.
Ugh…
Ning Rongrong immediately could not hold back and vomited.
Although they had also killed people before and undergone killing training, such a bloody and cruel killing was still the first time.
"Little San, you…" Dai Mubai was also stunned.
Even though he was the eldest among the Shrek Seven Devils, he had never personally experienced such a cruel scene.
They had not expected that the usually refined and elegant Tang San would actually have such a cold-blooded and brutal side.
Without saying a single word, he had killed more than ten people.
Tang San calmly drank a cup of tea and said, "In this place, you absolutely cannot be soft-hearted, otherwise the one who dies might be yourself. Apart from us, everyone here deserves to die, deserves death! There is no need for any pity."
After speaking, he nonchalantly put down the teacup. "This place is already dirty. Let's go up to the rooms."
Just at this moment, the hotel boss brought more than ten spirit masters with even more terrifying auras rushing over aggressively.
The spirit power fluctuations emanating from these spirit masters were very strong; among them, there were actually several Spirit Saint and Spirit Emperor level powerhouses.
The hotel boss sneered coldly, "Guests, killing people here violates the rules. If you don't give me an explanation, none of you should think of leaving."
Tang San glanced sideways at the shop boss and sneered, "Oh? Then what kind of explanation do you want us to give you?"
The hotel boss's greedy gaze swept over the moving delicate bodies of Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.
He licked his lips, let out a hehe laugh, and said, "Aren't you staying at the inn? Tonight, let these three girls come keep me company. Once I'm comfortable, your matter can be let go."
A fierce light flashed in Tang San's eyes. The aura of a Titled Douluo erupted. Countless Blue Silver Grass suddenly shot up from the ground, wildly dancing within this space.
A moment later, the Blue Silver Grass disappeared. Those more than ten spirit masters had already become a pile of severed limbs. Only the shop boss remained, collapsed on the ground, trembling all over.
"The explanation I gave, can you accept it?" Tang San sneered coldly.
"Great one, spare me! Great one, spare me!" The hotel boss's guts were scared out of him. He wet and soiled himself, kowtowing hard.
A strand of Blue Silver Grass silently appeared behind him, shooting out like a venomous snake and mercilessly piercing through his head.
The first-floor lobby of this hotel was full of corpses. The pungent smell of blood made people unable to help but feel nauseous. The remaining few waiters had already been scared senseless.
The faces of Ning Rongrong and the other two girls were pale, their stomachs churning violently, almost about to vomit.
Even Dai Mubai and the other two men were not much better.
"Let's go up," Tang San's fierce light in his eyes calmed down, and he led the way upstairs.
The six people behind quickly followed, fleeing as if escaping this Asura hell.
Only after reaching the rooms did they let out a breath.
Ning Rongrong blamed him, "Third Brother, why was your attack so ruthless?"
Tang San said in a deep voice, "You have experienced too little slaughter. Killing one Jiang Chen is enough, but when it comes to destroying Spirit Hall in the future, I'm afraid you will suffer losses because of this. The strongest spirit masters need to possess an iron-blooded will."
Dai Mubai's expression gradually became solemn. "Little San is right. Just now, seeing that scene, I involuntarily felt fear in my heart. In that state, I estimate I could only display seventy percent of my strength."
Tang San looked around at his companions and said, "Therefore, I intend to arrange a special training for you."
"What special training?" Ning Rongrong could not help asking.
She had already guessed some of it, and her pretty face became even paler.
Tang San said, "Slaughter trial. The goal is to kill all the fallen ones inside Slaughter City."
Dai Mubai and the other five were simultaneously shocked, looking at Tang San in disbelief.
They had previously learned from Tang San about the situation inside Slaughter City. The fallen ones inside numbered in the tens of thousands.
Tang San actually wanted them to kill so many people, had he gone mad?
Tang San was not surprised by his companions' reactions. He said lightly, "The fallen ones inside Slaughter City are all people whose sins reach the heavens. They have ways that invite death. A place like Slaughter City that gathers the world's evil should not exist in the first place.
"Moreover, the existence of Slaughter City has the shadow of Spirit Hall behind it. Rest assured, I will act together with you to dig this poisonous tumor out from the Douluo Continent."
After the shock passed, Dai Mubai and the others gradually calmed down.
They were no longer immature youths after all; their mental states had matured a great deal.
"Alright, then we will eliminate this harm for the Douluo Continent," Dai Mubai said.
Tang San said, "When I was in Slaughter City back then, I still did not have the strength to destroy this land of evil. At that time, I swore that once I had the strength in the future, I would definitely return and eliminate this land of evil.
"Especially that Slaughter King, extremely bloody and brutal. Only by killing him can Slaughter City be truly removed."
