Chapter 66: Fooling Tang San

As Tang San and Mu Chen walked away, Flander turned to Yu Xiaogang and asked, "Xiaogang, what do you think about this matter?"

"It's a bold idea," Yu Xiaogang replied.

"So you oppose him taking people into the City of Slaughter?" Flander inquired.

"No, I think it could be worth a try. I've heard about the City of Slaughter; you can't use soul techniques or soul power there. You can only rely on your martial soul and physical combat. I've seen Little San's hidden weapons, and their power is indeed remarkable. In such a unique place as the City of Slaughter, having hidden weapons is like having a ticket to the Hell Road," Yu Xiaogang explained.

What Flander didn't know was that Yu Xiaogang had already considered the idea of sending Tang San into the City of Slaughter after learning that he possessed hidden weapons. Now, Mu Chen had merely expedited the process.

"However, to be cautious, we should consult that person for their opinion," Yu Xiaogang added.

"Agreed." Flander nodded, knowing that the person Yu Xiaogang referred to was Tang San's father, Tang Hao.

Tang Hao was one of the two renowned Gods of Death of the era. Having traversed the Hell Road, if Tang Hao agreed to allow Tang San to go through, then Flander and Yu Xiaogang would have nothing to worry about.

Meanwhile, following Tang San, Mu Chen made his way to the small forest behind Shrek Academy.

"Little San, if you have anything to ask, do it here," Mu Chen said as he stopped.

Tang San turned around, his gaze fixed on Mu Chen.

"Ask away; I still need to go back and help Ning Rongrong with her physical training!" Mu Chen urged when Tang San remained silent.

"Who are you?" Tang San asked.

"I am Mu Chen," Mu Chen replied.

"Who exactly are you?" Tang San pressed again.

"Who do you think I would be?" Mu Chen countered.

"Boss Mu, how do you know so much about hidden weapons?" Tang San asked curiously.

"If I said I learned it from an ancient book, would you believe me?" Mu Chen smiled, already aware of Tang San's purpose for calling him here.

Currently, Mu Chen only possessed sleeve arrows and Dragon Whisker Needles from the Tang Sect's hidden weapons. He had no drawings or plans for the Zhuge Crossbows, Hidden Back Flower Crossbows, Bone-Piercing Needles, Leg Crossbows, or Sky-Soaring Claws he had promised to make.

In other words, this task would naturally fall to Tang San.

Mu Chen had originally been pondering how to pass this labor onto Tang San while exposing Tang San's own disguise. Unexpectedly, Tang San had come to him first.

An idea sprang to Mu Chen's mind.

"I don't believe you!" Tang San shook his head. After a moment, he touched the 24 Bridge Mingyue Night on his waist and pulled out two sleeve arrows, saying, "The sleeve arrow in my left hand is one I crafted myself. The one in my right hand is the one you gave me in the Star Dou Forest. I've carefully studied them, and their internal structures are exactly the same. Boss Mu, who exactly are you?"

"Wait, what did you just say? You can create sleeve arrows?" Mu Chen feigned surprise, his expression perfectly executed. He could easily win an acting award for this performance.

"Yes," Tang San nodded.

"Impossible." Mu Chen tilted his head, casting a sideways glance at Tang San. His expression was spot on.

"How is it impossible? Coincidentally, I also saw the method for making sleeve arrows in that ancient book," Tang San said, a slight smirk forming on his lips as he echoed Mu Chen's earlier words.

"Who exactly are you?" Mu Chen continued the act.

"I am Tang San," Tang San responded.

"Alright then, how about this: let's write down the name of that ancient book on our hands and see if it's the same book. How about that?" Mu Chen suggested.

"Okay," Tang San agreed without hesitation. Mu Chen knew that with so many Tang Sect hidden weapons, Tang San was very curious about his true identity. In Tang San's eyes, Mu Chen's true identity should also be that of a Tang Sect disciple.

Tang San was born into the Tang Sect, and his loyalty and connection to it ran deep, something ordinary people could not understand.

After a short while, both Tang San and Mu Chen took out pens and wrote on their hands.

"I'll count to three, and we'll both show our hands at the same time, how about that?" Mu Chen proposed.

"Alright," Tang San nodded slightly.

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

As they said the word "three," both Mu Chen and Tang San revealed their hands. On their palms were written the same four characters: "Xuan Tian Bao Lu"

**Xuan Tian Bao Lu:** This recorded the highest secrets of the Tang Sect, including the Tang Sect's martial arts manuals. The book contained six techniques: the internal cultivation method Xuan Tian Gong, hand training method Xuan Yu Shou, eye training method Zi Ji Mo Tong, capture technique Kong He Qin Long, lightness technique Gui Ying Mi Zong, and the method for using hidden weapons, An Qi Bai Jie.

"You... you are a disciple of the Tang Sect?"

"You are a disciple of the Tang Sect?"

Both exclaimed the same words in shock, their eyes wide open, staring at each other in disbelief.

"You... could it be that you are Tang San?" After recovering from his shock, Mu Chen quickly got to the point.

"Yes," Tang San replied.

"I mean, could you be the Tang San who fell into the Ghost's Wailing Abyss?" Mu Chen asked.

"Yes. But who are you?" Tang San frowned, looking at Mu Chen with curiosity.

Mu Chen not only knew about the Xuan Tian Bao Lu but also accurately named the abyss Tang San had fallen into. Tang San was now completely convinced of Mu Chen's identity as a Tang Sect disciple.

However, Tang San was very curious about who Mu Chen had been in his previous life.

"You were able to obtain and practice the Xuan Tian Bao Lu because I permitted it. So tell me, who am I?" Mu Chen asked.

"You, are you the Tang Lan Grand Ancestor?" Tang San asked, his eyes filled with astonishment.

**Soul Power +10,000 points.**

Due to Tang San's shock, Mu Chen instantly gained 10,000 points of soul power.

Mu Chen nodded slightly, feeling immensely pleased.

"Tang Lan Grand Ancestor, how did you come to this world? Did you also fall into that abyss?" Tang San asked, confused.

Mu Chen nodded again.

"No, you are the most powerful person in the Tang Sect. How could you have accidentally fallen into the abyss?" Tang San questioned.

"This situation arose because of you," Mu Chen turned around, facing away from Tang San, and secretly smiled. He couldn't believe his luck; with his silver tongue, he could easily deceive Tang San.

"Because of me?" Tang San was bewildered.

"After you fell into the abyss, I summoned all the disciples of the Tang Sect. We searched everywhere for you. Whether alive or dead, we needed to find you. Unexpectedly, beneath the Ghost's Wailing Abyss, there appeared an ancient relic. I battled it for three days and nights, and although I managed to slay it by a stroke of luck, I was ultimately dragged into the abyss with it due to my severely depleted power. When I woke up, I found myself reborn in this strange world with martial souls, along with my memories," Mu Chen spun a tale that had never happened as if he were telling a story.

"You... you died because of me?!" Tang San was stunned, but then he quickly became cautious and said, "If you want me to believe you are the reincarnation of Tang Lan Grand Ancestor, you need to tell me something that only I and Tang Lan Grand Ancestor would know."

"What else do you want me to say?" Mu Chen replied.

"Tell me how I obtained the Xuan Tian Bao Lu," Tang San asked.
