Chapter 311

"This smell... someone lit a fire here not long ago."

Tang Shan's gaze flickered, and he quickly reached this conclusion.

He refused to abandon this clue and hurried along the scent.

Soon, he arrived before a fire pit long extinguished.

Tang Shan gazed at the pile of charred wood beneath his feet, initially not caring much.

But unintentionally,

his peripheral vision suddenly caught a fragment of white bone buried among the charcoal.

Gazing at this fragment of bone, for some reason, his heart suddenly trembled.

He felt an overwhelming sorrow.

"Strange, why do I feel this way?"

Tang Shan, puzzled, crouched down.

He reached out his hand and picked up the bone from the charcoal.

He held it before his eyes to examine it.

"This seems to be... rabbit bone?"

Based on its shape, Tang Shan made an initial judgment.

But the next instant, his mind exploded, and his body froze rigidly!

"Wait, rabbit bone?!"

A sinister premonition suddenly surged in his heart, growing stronger and stronger!

Immediately, he thrust out both hands and began digging through the damned charcoal!

Once he unearthed all the bones and pieced them together,

gazing at the assembled shape,

he suddenly felt it was eerily familiar.

Bai Yu Treasure Rabbit...

In an instant, memories of this rabbit flooded his mind.

Tang Shan's pupils shrank, his face filled with disbelief: "Little... Little Wu?!"

He collapsed to the ground, unable to accept this!

But soon, his expression twisted into savagery.

An unprecedented rage surged through his soul, filling him with fury!

"Who?! Who ate my Little Wu?!"

At this moment, he understood what had just happened.

Someone must have eaten this Bai Yu Treasure Rabbit—eaten his Little Wu!

Who could be so cruel?!

I will kill him!!

Tang Shan's eyes burned with rage, his fists clenched, and he looked up at the heavens, roaring!

His chest heaved wildly as he unleashed his Yuan force in frenzy, turning the surroundings upside down!

It was unknown how long passed.

When the commotion finally subsided,

four figures suddenly appeared and walked over.

Seeing Tang Shan's fury, all of them were deeply puzzled.

They were members of the Asura Hall.

Also chosen by the Hall Master to protect the Young Master.

Yet they had never seen him this enraged before!

Filled with confusion, they bowed deeply to Tang Shan: "We pay homage to the Young Master!"

Their words caused Tang Shan to freeze and turn his head.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, entirely red, like a mad beast!

He glared at the four before him, teeth gritted: "When we were ambushed, didn't I order you to guard Little Wu with your lives, never leaving her side? What the hell did you do?!"

At these words, their hearts sank.

Before they could speak, their eyes fell upon the rabbit bones on the ground.

Seeing them, a terrible premonition struck them, filling them with dread!

They knew full well how vital this Bai Yu Treasure Rabbit was to their Young Master!

They immediately knelt: "Young Master, we were still following Young Lady Wu, but the Evil Soul Sect had an ambush ahead."

"They suddenly appeared and engaged us—we lost many brothers. In the chaos, Young Lady Wu slipped away, and we couldn't protect her anymore..."

Tang Shan's eyes turned icy: "So according to you, my Little Wu couldn't run away?"

"No no!"

The four's expressions turned utterly terrified; they frantically shook their heads.

They feared Tang Tian, Tang Shan's father—the ninth-layer Moon Wheel cultivator famed throughout the Shanhai Prefecture!

And they also feared Tang Shan, this prodigy!

At just over twenty, he had reached the Ninth Layer of the Yuan Sea, and possessed Star Wheel combat power—utterly beyond their ability to defy!

At this moment, Tang Shan sneered coldly: "Not? Hmph—if the Evil Soul Sect hadn't sent a Star Wheel cultivator to tie me down, would I have entrusted you useless fools to guard Wu'er?!"

"Now that you've failed to protect her, you all deserve to die!"

"Even Xiao Wu couldn't survive—how dare you cling to life like this?!"

As soon as the words ended, a brilliant blue light burst forth, transforming into a phantom vine!

This was the upper-grade earth-level technique he had mastered: Blue Vine Entanglement!

Before this technique,

the four Purple Mansion fully cultivated cultivators had no chance to resist.

Upon being caught in the blast, they perished instantly, their bodies and bones erased!

Soon, the scene fell silent once more.

Gazing at the empty surroundings, Tang Shan silently collected Xiao Wu's remains.

He lifted his head, gazing into the distance.

His eyes were filled with gloom, and deep within burned raging fury!

"Xiao Wu, I, Tang Shan, swear—I will find and kill everyone who ate you!!"

As his voice rang out, killing intent surged everywhere!!

Once he found the killer,

he would torture them in every possible way, tear them limb from limb, grind their bones to dust!

Only then could he quench the hatred in his heart!

Several days later.

In the territory of Tiandou Prefecture.

Near Cangwu Mountain.

The sky was clear, white clouds piled high, and a gentle breeze stirred.

But just then,

thick clouds suddenly tore apart, revealing a wooden pointed tip!

Immediately, a colossal treasure ship shot forth at high speed!

Sails unfurled, soaring through the high heavens!

One after another, treasure ships appeared in the sky.

These were precisely the magic treasure cloud ships dispatched by the Zhao Family of Bihai, Qingshan Sect, Chihun Sect, and Tianyao Sect!

Powered by spirit stones as their core energy source, capable of carrying people through flight!

At this moment, the cloud ships were filled with personnel assigned to construct Cangwu City!

In total, over fifty thousand people!
