Chapter 2: Ji Wudao's Killing Intent!

Upon returning inside, Qian Renxue sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "Brother Ji was right, this boy probably can't be of use to us. He holds a deep grudge against our Spirit Hall. I saw endless killing intent in his eyes!"

Ever since Tang San arrived, Qian Renxue had been sizing him up, and his eyes, filled with boundless killing intent, could not be hidden from her. Since he could not be of use to her, she decided it was best to eliminate him.

Ji Wudao smiled, refilled Qian Renxue's tea, and asked, "How does the young master wish to proceed?"

Hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression darkened as she said, "Brother Ji, after all these years, why do you still not change your form of address? You know my feelings well!"

Qian Renxue's question was loaded, her years of companionship with Ji Wudao had made her realize her feelings for him were not merely fraternal but romantic.

However, Ji Wudao always kept his feelings to himself, which frustrated her.

Ji Wudao, aware of Qian Renxue's affections, responded, "I know, but now is not the time."

"Why not? Is there anything more important than this?" Qian Renxue couldn't understand, her love for him was evident.

"Wait until the continent is unified. Have you forgotten your wish? To achieve unification, I will always assist you. Until then, I shall not harbor inappropriate thoughts," Ji Wudao declared with integrity.

In truth, he was concerned about affecting her cultivation. Qian Renxue was already a Soul Emperor, and it wouldn't be long before she advanced to Soul Saint.

Qian Renxue frowned, about to speak, when Ji Wudao continued, "Let's focus on Tang San for now. How do you plan to deal with this hidden threat?"

Qian Renxue, slightly angered, turned away, "Kill him. How else? He possesses twin martial souls and could become a greater threat than Tang Hao. The Spirit Hall's branches have suffered his father's vengeance over the years!"

For Qian Renxue, dealing with Tang San was simple: eliminate him to prevent him from becoming a threat, a stumbling block on her path.

"When? How? Just 'kill him'?" Ji Wudao inquired with a smile.

Qian Renxue stood up, looked out the window, and said, "Isn't Brother Ji here? I'll leave it all to you, Brother Ji. I trust you won't disappoint me!"

Ji Wudao shook his head, resigned. Ever since she arrived in Heaven Dou City, influenced by him, he had eliminated many threats for her, placing their people in power.

"Since the young master has spoken, I'll take care of the rest. I'll act when they head to Spirit City. They won't survive," Ji Wudao assured.

Knowing the story well, he wouldn't give Tang San a chance. It was best to eliminate him before he fully matured.

Meanwhile, after leaving, Tang San arrived at the hotel where his teammates were waiting.

Ning Rongrong eagerly asked, "Tang San, did you meet Brother Xue Qinghe?"

The others looked on curiously, waiting for Tang San's response.

Tang San nodded, "I did, and I found out what I wanted to know."

Xiao Wu, curious, inquired, "What was it, Tang San?" Her eyes were filled with curiosity.

What could be so important to Tang San?

Sitting down, Tang San shared the details with his curious teammates.

Xiao Wu covered her mouth in disbelief. It was the Spirit Hall!

Tang San had an irreconcilable hatred for the Spirit Hall, just like her. The current Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, had killed her mother and absorbed her soul ring. If it weren't for Da Ming and Er Ming's protection, she might have died at their hands too.

Dai Mubai comforted Tang San, "Tang San, whatever you decide to do in the future, we will stand by you. After all, we are the Shrek Seven Devils!"

The rest of the team also expressed their support, with Ma Hongjun even declaring, "Whatever Spirit Hall, once we grow stronger, we'll definitely seek revenge for Tang San!"

Oscar felt the same way. Their bond had only grown stronger over time, further solidified by the spirit medicines Tang San had provided, which significantly enhanced their powers.

As for the spirit medicines, Ji Wudao had once searched for the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes but had to give up due to a lack of time.

Moreover, since Qian Renxue had just replaced Xue Qinghe, she hadn't had the time, and only now had Xue Qinghe's position in the Heaven Dou Empire been somewhat stabilized through their efforts.

The team was already looking up to Tang San as their leader.

Moved, Tang San looked at Dai Mubai and the others, "Dai leader, everyone."

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang entered and addressed the group, "I need to leave for a while. During this period, make sure you don't slack off, got it?"

Hearing that Grandmaster would be away for some time made everyone curious. What was he planning to do?

Tang San asked, "Teacher, what are you going to do?"

Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment, decided not to disclose his mission, and simply said, "It's something extremely important. You don't need to worry about it. I'm leaving now!"

What he deemed extremely important was to seek out Bibi Dong to learn the methods of cultivating twin martial souls. Despite being known as Grandmaster, he didn't know everything. How to cultivate twin martial souls was something only one person on the continent knew: Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

His unrequited love!

Tang San watched Yu Xiaogang's departing figure, wondering, "What kind of important matter could make the teacher leave in such a hurry?"

Clearly, he wouldn't know the answer unless Yu Xiaogang himself decided to explain.

Following the end of the preliminary competition, Flender treated the seven of them to a feast that evening, with Ma Hongjun, the glutton, being the happiest.

This competition had been very profitable for Flender, making him significantly wealthier. He took the seven to the most bustling area of Heaven Dou City for a meal, insisting on paying for everything, allowing them to eat their fill.

Seeing the usually frugal Dean Flender being so generous, Ma Hongjun went all out and ordered one of everything on the menu.

At checkout, seeing the huge bill made Flender wince. These "little monsters" really treated him like a lord, completely oblivious to the concept of thriftiness.

After the meal, the group left the restaurant, fully satisfied, ready to embark on their journey to Spirit City the next day.
