NOVEL NEXT Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Mission Complete, Tang San's Death
At this point, Tang San understood.
No matter how much he struggled, in the end, it would only lead to one inevitable result: death.
It was precisely because of this that Tang San, not wanting to die without understanding why, asked Lu Yunzhou. He wanted to die with clarity.
"So... why exactly do you want to kill me?"
Faced with this question from Tang San, Lu Yunzhou answered in a very friendly manner.
"Why kill you? The reason is simple."
"Because your father killed someone back then, and now, that person's descendants are seeking revenge. Unfortunately, since we could not find your father, we had no choice but to come for you."
After saying this, without waiting for Tang San to respond or think further, Lu Yunzhou spoke again, saying something that left Qian Renxue, Flender, and Zhao Wuji all puzzled and confused.
"There is another reason."
"This reason is related to you, and also to the little-known West Shu Tang Clan."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue could not help but think to herself, "West Shu Tang Clan? What is that? A faction? But why have I never heard of this faction before? Is this faction related to Mr. Lu or to Tang San?"
Meanwhile, Flender, too, was puzzled.
"West Shu? Where is that? The Tang Clan? Which sect is that?"
"That person said the killing of Tang San has something to do with this faction, but why has Tang San never mentioned it? And when I traveled the continent with Xiao Gang and Er Long, I never heard a single thing about it."
Just as Qian Renxue, Flender, and Zhao Wuji were all puzzled by this so-called "West Shu Tang Clan," Tang San was visibly shaken, his face showing surprise and confusion.
After a difficult swallow, Tang San spoke again, his voice trembling, "You... How do you... How do you know about the West Shu Tang Clan? Who... Who are you really?"
The West Shu Tang Clan was Tang San's greatest secret, one he had buried deep within himself, never telling a soul. Not even his father knew a thing about it.
And now, Lu Yunzhou—upon meeting him—had revealed Tang San's deepest and greatest secret.
For this reason, how could Tang San not be shocked, terrified, and stunned?
And as he spoke these words, fear crept into his heart.
"Tang San, an outer disciple of the West Shu Tang Clan, was hunted by the elders for stealing the clan's inner cultivation method, the Mysterious Heaven Technique. He later died by suicide in the Ghosts' Lair. Am I right?"
When Lu Yunzhou spoke these words, the other Shrek Academy students and teachers also arrived one by one.
Among them was a familiar figure to Lu Yunzhou—someone who had come to find Flender, hoping he could help locate Yu Xiaogang, the disciple of Er Long.
"Who are you?! Who are you really?!"
At that moment, Tang San's body trembled uncontrollably. After speaking, a mouthful of blood surged out from his mouth, making him appear even more defeated.
Tang San was terrified.
He feared that the Tang Clan elders would come to take his life!
After all, he had stolen the Tang Clan's highest cultivation technique, the Mysterious Heaven Technique! And now, Lu Yunzhou, in Tang San's eyes, seemed like one of the Tang Clan's elders.
Hearing the exchange between Lu Yunzhou and Tang San, Dai Mubai felt an intense curiosity welling up inside him. He murmured to himself,
"What is going on? What is Ghosts' Lair? What do you mean by 'suicide'? What is Tang San's relationship with the West Shu Tang Clan? By the way, I've never heard of this West Shu Tang Clan before."
Nearby, Oscar also spoke, saying, "Tang San's still younger than me, but he's already joined a sect? No wonder he rejected the Snake Lady's invitation back then."
Not paying attention to the comments around him, Lu Yunzhou calmly spoke again, continuing to provoke Tang San's emotions to make him even angrier, so he could better complete his mission.
"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is who you are!"
"Tang San, although you've been reincarnated, you never expected that there would be someone who knows your identity and origin on the Douluo Continent, did you? But then again, who would expect that a twelve-year-old body would hide a 'thief' who is several decades old?"
As soon as Lu Yunzhou finished speaking, the atmosphere in the area exploded in chaos.
"What... What? Tang San, like Xiao Wu, has an incongruent age between his physical body and mental state? My God, our Shrek Academy really is a monster academy, considering how many 'monsters' there are here!"
Oscar, who spoke these words, felt a chill down his spine and hurried to move away from Tang San.
On the side, Dai Mubai, after hearing this, wore a solemn expression, saying,
"No wonder I always thought Tang San seemed so mature and composed. It turns out he's actually several decades old. And he's been hanging out with us every day without shame. This is really disgusting."
At this point, Ma Hongjun, the fatty, also spoke in astonishment, saying,
"A thief? He stole the clan's inner cultivation method?"
"My God, I never expected Brother San to be... this kind of person. I always thought Brother San was an upright person. After all, wasn't he indifferent to beauty?"
In an instant, the students and teachers of Shrek Academy all turned their eyes to Tang San with suspicion and disdain.
Having a thief in the academy was something no one could tolerate.
Moreover, this thief was using the body of a young person while staying with them day in and day out.
This was no longer a matter of whether they could tolerate it—it was a matter of whether or not they should teach him a lesson.
Seeing his former friends and teachers turn their backs on him, Tang San was in disbelief.
In this moment of despair, he looked around at the people who once supported him. But all he could feel now was a complete loss.
Hearing the words of those around him and seeing Lu Yunzhou smiling in front of him, as though something had dawned on him, Tang San decisively spoke,
"No... Don't kill me. I can give you the Mysterious Heaven Technique. You came for the Mysterious Heaven Technique, didn't you? No... not just the Mysterious Heaven Technique. I can also give you Ghost Shadow, Crane Control, Dragon Subduing, and... I can give you Xuan Jade..."
At the moment the Shrek Academy students mocked Tang San, his reputation was completely ruined.
What upright person? A joke.
He was nothing but a thief, a bandit.
Therefore, Tang San... could be killed!
Before Tang San could finish speaking, Lu Yunzhou interjected, saying,
"Xue'er, his life or death is in your hands."
A joke.
Did Lu Yunzhou lack inner cultivation methods? Did he need Ghost Shadow, Crane Control, or Xuan Jade's low-level techniques?
Lu Yunzhou could casually pull out any technique and it would surpass these "martial skills."
At these words, a gleam of joy flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. She quickly used the Sunfire to condense an Angel's Sword, and then, with murderous intent, she stepped forward and slashed it across Tang San's neck.
In an instant, Tang San felt his neck grow cold, followed by a warm flow running down from the cut.
At this moment, Tang San felt a sweet taste in his mouth and throat.
He wanted to say something, but no words came out. He felt as if he was submerged in water, unable to breathe. He wanted to cough but couldn't.
Suddenly, his throat became itchy. He tried to scratch it with his hand.
After a while, his head became heavy, and his mind felt blank.
Then, with a loud "bang," Tang San's body fell to the ground.
[Congratulations, Host. Mission "Tang San the Little Thief" completed. This is not to be learned!]
[Congratulations, Host. Reward: One drop of Pure Dragon Blood!]
[Mortal Heart Refining Task: 6/10]
Only four more times, and Lu Yunzhou would be able to obtain the Great Immortal Sutra he longed for.
