Chapter 548: The Result of the Scheme, Tang San's Anger

"The Fourth Offering of the Spirit Hall, you are a person of note, not bad!" Tang Chen nodded, "Take your people, withdraw from Gengxin City, and return to the Spirit Empire."

Of course he wanted to keep all the people of the Spirit Empire there.

But he was considering many things now; for one, he was actually unable to exert his full strength at all. Once he killed them all, and they resisted with all their might, Golden Crocodile Douluo would inevitably see his state—that his internal injuries were severe and his life was not long.

At that time, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong would not let go of this opportunity to take his life while he was ill.

Conversely, as long as he did not make a move, the title of Tang Chen being invincible on land was the greatest deterrent to the Spirit Empire.

Tang San needed time and could not yet go to full-scale war with the Spirit Empire.

Secondly, back then, Qian Daoliu kept his promise; during the time he was away, he did not deal a fatal blow to the Clear Sky Sect. This favor, he, Tang Chen, could not fail to acknowledge.

Thirdly, their opponent was not just the Spirit Empire; there was also the Gu Lei Kingdom. Tang San's original idea was to let the Spirit Empire and the Gu Lei Kingdom fight like the snipe and the clam, so he could be the fisherman who gains the profit.

Now, if they were to fight the Spirit Empire to the death instead, wouldn't the fisherman become the Gu Lei Kingdom? Therefore, no matter how angry he was at the Spirit Hall's act of slaughtering Gengxin City, he could only endure it as much as possible for the moment.

In short, they could not destroy the Spirit Empire's army now, nor should they.

"Fine, Tang Chen, this debt today, my Spirit Empire will settle with you one day." Golden Crocodile Douluo also had the same misgivings in his heart as Tang Chen.

The reason the Spirit Empire was able to attack Star Luo unscrupulously at the beginning was that they subconsciously thought Tang San only had the Bloodthirsty Douluo and the Slaughter King as two Title Douluo, and they had no idea that the Clear Sky Sect had already secretly joined his command.

They were even more unaware that the Slaughter King was one of the three peerless figures of that year, the invincible-on-land Tang Chen.

Otherwise, they would absolutely not have launched an attack so rashly.

They originally thought they could easily take down the Star Luo Empire.

Who knew...

Actually, the current situation was similar to the tripartite confrontation during the Three Kingdoms period; a triangle is the most stable shape.

Most importantly, all three countries now effectively possessed nuclear weapons.

The Spirit Empire's Qian Daoliu, the Clear Sky Sect's Tang Chen, and the Gu Lei Kingdom's Nan Feihuang—three solid, peak combat powers.

It was just that the two "nuclear weapons," Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, both had major issues; they could only be used for defense, but could not be launched.

As long as it wasn't fought in Wuhun City, Feihuang was not afraid of Qian Daoliu at all. In a one-on-one fight, Feihuang was confident of a ninety percent chance of winning; the remaining ten percent was just to guard against that old fellow blowing himself up.

As for Tang Chen, Feihuang might not be his match; there was no helping it, this guy had the Asura Sword in his hands now.

Before forcing his Fangtian Halberd out of his body and shaping it into a Super Artifact, he did not want to clash head-on with the Super Artifact Asura Sword.

Fortunately, Tang Chen was just a glass cannon, a one-time-use item.

As long as Feihuang did not provoke him, he would not dare to provoke Feihuang either; otherwise, regardless of whether Feihuang died after the fight, he would definitely be dead.

The Spirit Empire's army withdrew from Gengxin City. The result of this great battle soon spread across the entire continent. No one expected that the once-arrogant Spirit Hall, since losing to the Gu Lei Kingdom, would actually suffer defeat after defeat.

However, once they thought about how this was because Tang Chen had come out of seclusion, they didn't feel it was strange at all.

After all, he was one of the two great mountains of the Spirit Master world back then, and many people still subconsciously thought he was the stronger one among the two, the invincible-on-land, based on his past combat records. "Damn it, Tang San, he actually developed such a powerful force right under our noses!" On the way back, Yan was still feeling indignant. He had originally thought it would be an easy task to accumulate military merit, but he never expected to return in such a crushing defeat.

"He has always been outstanding. Apart from Nan Feihuang, he is the second most outstanding person I have ever seen," Hu Liena murmured. She thought back to her past with Tang Yin in Slaughter City.

"Nana, don't worry. One day, I will completely eliminate that Tang San and Nan Feihuang and help the Spirit Empire unify the world," Yan promised.

As long as he could achieve these two points one day, he would be the only man qualified to stand by Hu Liena's side, right?

"What a boast!" Just at this moment, a voice sounded from ahead. They saw Tang San, with Tang Chen, blocking the path of the returning Spirit Hall army.

The various Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall immediately became alert.

"Tang Chen, why are you blocking us? Could it be you want to go back on your word?" Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned and said.

"Hmph, Qian Daoliu kept his promise to me back then, so how could I go back on my word now?" Tang Chen said, "It is my great-grandson who has something to find that girl over there for."

Tang Chen pointed his finger at Hu Liena.

Hu Liena was stunned, her heart fluttering for a moment, "Tang Yin, you are looking for me, what is the matter?"

"Tang Yin? Heh, that name was just a pseudonym from back then; you can forget it. I am Tang San," Tang San said. "Hu Liena, I have come to find you for only one question: why did your Spirit Empire suddenly move against me? Everyone in the world could guess your first target should have been Ba La Ke."

Hu Liena was silent for a moment, then said, "Our Spirit Empire arranged spies within the Gu Lei Kingdom, and they found out..."

Hu Liena revealed the intelligence without reservation. At this point, she also sensed that something was wrong.

She always felt that their Spirit Empire seemed to have been used by someone.

Behind this war, it was being pushed by a pair of large hands.

"We reached a cooperation with the Gu Lei Kingdom? Nan Feihuang takes me as his master? When did this happen?" Tang San finished speaking in a daze, then instantly flew into a rage, "Nan Feihuang, you scoundrel, you actually diverted the disaster to me, using me to attract the Spirit Empire's firepower!"

At this point, how could he not realize that the Spirit Empire had been used as a gun by Nan Feihuang.

It was just that he didn't understand how Nan Feihuang knew his secrets, even knowing the hidden details of the Asura God Inheritance.

This was truly too incredible.

Moreover, this guy was extremely despicable; he only told the Spirit Empire about him obtaining the Asura Inheritance, but concealed the news about the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Chen.

Otherwise, if the Spirit Empire had known his full strength, they would never have dared to attack him so easily.

This was truly too much. He only wanted to let the Gu Lei Kingdom and the Spirit Empire fight like dogs, so he could be the fisherman who gains the profit in the end. Nan Feihuang actually dared to scheme against him, turning it around to make him and the Spirit Empire both suffer, a truly suicidal path.

He must take revenge.

His gaze swept over the Title Douluo of the Spirit Empire. When he saw Ci Xue, his eyes suddenly lit up; he seemed to have a good idea.

Since Nan Feihuang dared to scheme against him, then he shouldn't blame him for using his own methods against him.

When the Spirit Empire's army had completely left the vicinity of Gengxin City, Tang San said to Tang Chen, "Great-grandfather, I have a favor to ask of you..."
