Chapter 186 Qin Xiao's Return, Tang Chen's Deification Plan_2

Additionally, everything seems to be related to him.

Unconsciously, a feeling of powerlessness emerged in his heart, as if no matter which path he took, he could not escape from the shadow of Qin Xiao.

"Listen to me continue..."

Tang Chen glared at Tang San, and continued to recount the experiences from the trip to Sea God's Island.

Tang Hao and Tang San listened quietly, not daring to speak and interrupt.

After a long while, Tang Chen finally spoke with a heavy voice, giving a rough account of what had happened, "That Qin Xiao can use the Divine Artifact left by the Sea God, I'm certain this kid must have received a part of the Sea God's inheritance, just like I accepted the divine test from the Asura God..."

"What!"

"Doesn't that mean, this kid will become a god in the future!"

Tang San's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief."

The words of Tang Chen brought him unprecedented pressure.

It nearly made it difficult for him to breathe.

Gods, such powerful beings, how could they be challenged by mere mortals?

On the other hand, Tang Chen did not utter any words that belittled Qin Xiao. Instead, with a solemn expression, he nodded firmly, "You're not wrong, if it continues like this, with Qin Xiao's talent, he will indeed become a god. But, in this world, there are not only his godhood."

"Does that mean, your injury will not affect your godhood?" Tang Hao asked, his face showing delight.

If that was the case, it would still be good news.

Tang Chen did not immediately answer Tang Hao's question, but instead asked Tang San, "Xiaosan, do you have a way to regenerate the old ancestor's severed arm?"

Tang San furrowed his brows in deep thought for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly.

In fact, it wasn't impossible. But it would require Immortal Herbs.

And all the Immortal Herbs discovered so far were in the hands of Qin Xiao; he didn't believe there was any hope of obtaining them.

Better to cut off Tang Chen's hope right away.

Tang Chen's eyes flickered, he sighed, "It's impossible. My arm has been chopped off, and I have also lost a soul bone. My Cultivation Level has already dropped to level 98, and it's not far from level 97. An incomplete person cannot inherit godhood. Moreover, I've also lost the Divine Artifact, the Asura Devil Sword, on Sea God's Island..."

Tang Hao: "..."

What was the use then?

Having godhood but unable to inherit it, was there any difference from not having it at all?

Seeing but not able to have is more distressing. Better not to have it at all.

"But..."

Tang Chen dragged out his speech, "Although I can no longer inherit the godhood, you two can. Especially Xiaosan's talent, after the Hao Tian Hammer devoured the Bluesilver Emperor, no one can match it. Even you, Hao'er, are not as gifted as Xiaosan."

"Old ancestor, do you mean, you want Xiaosan to inherit the godhood?"

"Exactly."

Tang Chen nodded, "In fact, if it weren't for Xiaosan, you would also be the best choice. After all, you were the youngest Titled Douluo on Soul Land, a talent that even surpasses mine."

"But, I remember you just said that you lost the Asura Devil Sword, that inheritance Divine Artifact...."

"It's fine. If I'm here, the Divine Artifact is here!"

Tang Chen's eyes were full of determination, "When Xiaosan reaches that step, I'll have my ways."

After listening to Tang Chen's words, Tang Hao had no more questions.

"Xiaosan, what do you think?"

"I am willing to undertake the divine test and inherit godhood."

"But it is fraught with difficulties and twists, and you may even lose your life in the process."

"As long as I can get revenge and revive the Hao Tian Clan, I am not afraid."

Tang San's reply was extremely resolute.

"Good, good, good."

Tang Chen said three goods in a row, feeling very gratified.

"You go get ready. We set off immediately, heading to Slaughter City."

"Old ancestor, I have nothing to prepare. I can leave with you at any time."

Tang Chen's gaze then fell on Tang Hao, "Hao'er, while we are away, you stay at the sect and don't go anywhere. Also teach the Sect Disciples, it's better not to go out unless necessary. When Xiaosan returns as a god, our days will get better."

Tang Hao's eyes flickered, and he replied solemnly, "I understand. Don't worry old ancestor, we won't go anywhere."

...

Meanwhile.

Returning to Blue Tyrant Academy once again, Qin Xiao was somewhat surprised.

Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Liu Erlong were all absent.

"Master, you have returned,"

At the dormitory door, Ah Yin was stunned to see the figure of Qin Xiao returning.

"Ah Yin, why weren't you cultivating in the Icefire Polarized Eyes?"

Seeing Ah Yin, Qin Xiao was also taken aback.

Originally, when Qin Xiao told Ah Yin that he wanted to take her away with him, Ah Yin had refused.

Ah Yin believed that Sea God's Island was indeed a wonderful place, but not necessarily suited for her. On the contrary, the properties of the Icefire Polarized Eyes were more beneficial for her as a soul beast that had taken human form.

Therefore, Qin Xiao had no choice but to respect her wishes and left her behind.

Perhaps fearing the sadness of parting, Ah Yin did not show up on the day Qin Xiao and the others left.

"I come here to clean up every so often. I'm afraid that one day when you return, you'd find nowhere to step due to the dust-covered surfaces,"

Ah Yin replied softly.

Qin Xiao's gaze flickered for a moment; he said nothing but beckoned to Ah Yin.

Ah Yin did not refuse and quickly came to Qin Xiao's side, allowing him to gently pull her into his embrace.

As he stroked the girl's hair, Qin Xiao spoke softly, "You've really worked hard during this time."

Ah Yin responded from within Qin Xiao's arms, "It wasn't hard."

After a long embrace, the one shadow split back into two.

Qin Xiao inquired, "Ah Yin, where have Liu Erlong, Flander, and Zhao Wuji gone? Did they take the students on a training trip?"

"No, that's not it,"

Ah Yin shook her head, "President Liu told me about their plan when she left; they're off to do something significant. Sadly, my cultivation level isn't high enough—I haven't reached Soul Ancestor yet—so I had no chance to participate."

"Oh? What big matter do they have to attend to?" Qin Xiao asked with keen interest.

Besides, as teachers in the academy, what significant event could there be?

"They've allied with the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan to destroy the Star Luo Royal Family, with the main goal of assassinating the Star Luo Emperor!"

"What the heck?" Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows, his face full of astonishment.

He had to admit, he was shocked.

Even if he wracked his brains, he never could have imagined such a development.

"Master, it's true, Ah Yin isn't lying to you,"

Seeing Qin Xiao's expression change, Ah Yin immediately took on a pitiful demeanor.

Qin Xiao smiled and pinched Ah Yin's cheek, "Haha, I'm just surprised, but I didn't mean I don't believe our Ah Yin. Please explain to me in detail what exactly is going on."

"Mm-hmm," Ah Yin relaxed a bit at his words and then recounted the events of the past year, "In fact, this plan started a year ago, initially with the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan taking action against the Star Luo Royal Family under President Liu's suggestion.

However, they failed many times and suffered heavy losses. Some time ago, Yu Luomian again sought assistance from President Liu, and a few days later, President Liu, Dean Flander, and Vice-Dean Zhao Wuji all left together."

"A year ago..."

Qin Xiao's gaze flickered again; he recalled the various messages conveyed by Purple Pearl.

Among them was that the Star Luo Emperor had been the target of an assassination attempt, and now the entire Xingluo Empire was on high alert. Even outside Star Luo Imperial City, there were armies numbering in the tens of thousands, guarding the city.

Qin Xiao had pondered many times over who could be behind the assault on the Star Luo Royal Family.

Eventually, he narrowed down the suspects to Qian Renxue and the Martial Soul Hall.

Why so?

Simply because the ambition of Martial Soul Hall was clear.

Now that the Tiandou Empire had already fallen, the Xingluo Empire was surely the next target, so Qian Renxue and Martial Soul Hall had every reason to make a move against the Star Luo Royal Family.

And without a scheme like Qian Renxue's, which had lurked in the Tiandou Empire for decades and without any backup plan, assassinating and then supporting a puppet emperor were undoubtedly the best choices.

But then.

Often, the truth of a matter is filled with surprises.

However, there were no known grudges between the Xingluo Empire and the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon, right?

"Hold on."

"They may not have grudges against each other, but they both have grudges against me,"

Suddenly, Qin Xiao thought of another aspect: both parties were the targets of his vengeance.

The truth became crystal clear!

"Could it be that the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan wants to annihilate the Star Luo Royal Family as an offering, seeking my forgiveness?"
