Location exposed?
Tang San was puzzled, unable to understand why the father and son, who had hidden so well, would be exposed.
Could it be Shi Nian who betrayed them?
That was Tang San's first thought.
Thinking of this, his gaze turned cold, with killing intent bursting forth.
"Let's go."
Under Tang Hao's urging, Tang San also quickly packed up, preparing to leave.
There weren't any precious items in this blacksmith shop; the father and son evacuated lightly.
Less than an hour after they left, the entire Tang's Blacksmith Shop turned into ruins.
"They've already escaped."
On the street, a Spirit Master who had transformed into a giant monster spoke, his voice was deep.
Around his body, a full eight Spirit Rings circulated.
His gaze swept around, locked onto a direction, and he quickly gave chase.
If he hadn't confirmed that Tang Hao had lost an arm, his level had dropped, and his true strength was less than ten percent of what it was, he, a Spirit Douluo, naturally wouldn't dare to pursue and kill Tang Hao.
But who told Tang Hao was now a tiger stranded on flat land?
After the Spirit Douluo left, many other Spirit Masters filed in, rushing into the ruins to inspect.
"Hah, Tang's Blacksmith Shop, really arrogant. No one in Canghui City suspected it before."
"Everyone uses forging shops now, who still uses your blacksmith shop?"
"I heard from people around that the quality of the iron tools made by this blacksmith shop isn't worse than those from forging shops, and the business was pretty good too."
"Found it. There really is scrapped Spirit Metal. It seems the Tang Hao father and son also wanted to learn the forging method."
"..."
The blacksmith shop ruins were quickly surveyed, and piece after piece of information was analyzed.
Tang Hao and Tang San were almost stripped bare for inspection.
"Dammit, how exactly were we exposed?"
Tang Hao, while holding onto Tang San, rapidly rushed towards the nearby mountainous area.
Behind him, though he couldn't see, he could feel someone was quickly chasing them.
"It must be that Shi Nian."
Tang San's voice was fierce, saying that if he had the chance to return to Canghui City, he would definitely kill Shi Nian.
Tang Hao fell silent.
He actually thought the possibility of it being Shi Nian was low.
Otherwise, the father and son might not even have had the chance to evacuate.
"This time, it was my Killing God Domain that had a premonition, allowing me to predict it in advance. Let's escape this pursuit first."
Tang Hao felt that his Killing God Domain might have advanced further.
Although it was inexplicable, having an early warning was good after all.
"They actually ran away?"
Su Ming was stunned.
The location he provided was quite accurate; how could Tang Hao still escape?
"Predicted in advance?"
Had Tang San awakened the Blue Silver Emperor?
Relying on the Blue Silver Domain, using the Blue Silver Grass as eyes and ears?
That's not right!
"I've been monitoring them almost constantly; Tang San shouldn't have had the chance to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor."
Then what method was it?
In Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness, the Rakshasa Faith, hidden deep within, erupted violently.
Countless malicious thoughts filled his Sea of Consciousness.
"A God is interfering!"
Suppressing the negative emotions brought by the Rakshasa Faith's eruption, Su Ming became thoughtful.
This Rakshasa Faith eruption seemed to be vaguely transmitting a danger signal to him.
If a God was truly interfering, and the Rakshasa Faith was transmitting a danger signal, the identity of the interfering God was quite obvious.
"Damn it!"
Can't play fair.
Su Ming admitted that he had been a bit arrogant these past couple of days, wanting to kill the past Tang San across time and space to vent his anger, but he didn't expect enemies to descend from the heavens.
"Previously, I thought it was a baseless guess, but now it seems Tang San was brought to the Douluo Plane by the Shura God. From the very beginning, he had Tang San's path meticulously arranged."
"Tang San's great-grandfather almost reached the final stage of the Shura God Trials. His father Tang Hao also obtained the Killing God Domain, laying the foundation for the Shura God Trials. With such origins, wasn't Tang San the orthodox, rightful reserve candidate for the Shura God position?"
The Sea God was purely a windfall.
No.
Probably not a windfall either.
Su Ming thought of Tang San's operations during the Douluo 2 period and compared them to the Douluo 1 period.
They were almost identical operations.
Just like how Rong Nianbing's God of Emotions position was targeted by Tang San, who created coincidences for him to discover Huo Yuhao and then pass on the position, the Sea God was probably also targeted by the Shura God.
Truly following the same pattern!
Indeed, the dog that bites doesn't bark.
"Sigh, I should make a run for it too."
Su Ming packed his bags, his expression bitter.
"What are you going to do, kid?"
Dugu Bo opened his eyes, somewhat puzzled.
This brat had been freeloading here for so long; why was he suddenly packing his bags today?
"The Blacksmith Association has some matters to attend to."
"Alright then, be safe on the road."
Be safe?
Su Ming thought about whether he should continue staying at the Ice Fire Two Eyes.
Because this should be the safest place he could find so far.
After all, Dugu Bo was stationed here, and this was still Dugu Bo's lair.
This wasn't the original story; under Su Ming's influence, Dugu Bo's poison technique defects had been gradually regulated, and his Spirit Power had long since not been level 91.
The Rakshasa Faith's warning was something Su Ming hadn't experienced before.
Should he believe it?
Right, why should he believe it?
This was the Rakshasa God.
A neurotic deity who induced Bibi Dong's fall, corrupting a Shura seed into an resentful and evil being.
"What can the Shura God do to me?"
He was a nice guy, a God Realm law enforcer who hadn't made many mistakes; he couldn't knowingly break the law.
Since he pretended to be a hypocrite, he had to keep up the act until the end.
If he himself couldn't intervene, then who could?
Su Ming's face stiffened.
Thinking of this, he felt the Ice Fire Two Eyes wasn't safe either.
The person the Shura God could mobilize was probably Tang Chen, right?
But thinking from another angle, if it really was Tang Chen making a move, there probably wasn't anywhere that could be considered safe.
"Either Sea God Island or Spirit City."
Su Ming couldn't go to either of these places. Could Sea God Island protect Su Ming?
The High Priest might just kill him outright.
As for Spirit City, needless to say; as the true soul of the Blacksmith Association, if he went to Spirit City, could he even leave?
"I've been a bit too reckless this time. I need to find a way to preserve more and live another life."
Su Ming put down the packed luggage, sat down again, and prepared to wait for death.
"Senior, if you're worried about my safety, how about you go handle something for me?"
"What matters?"
"I forged a set of Battle Armor for my teacher. It should help him condense a Spirit Core. Could you deliver it to him and then protect him during his breakthrough for a while?"
Dugu Bo's face darkened.
"What do you take me for?"
"I'll also forge a set of Battle Armor for Sister Yan, covering from Spirit King to when she needs to condense a Spirit Core later. I'll take care of it all."
Dugu Bo's expression cracked.
He tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth.
"Hand over the Battle Armor."
Su Ming took out a complete set of finished Battle Armor.
"This was fully forged by me. The compatibility with my teacher still needs breaking-in period. For him to rely on the Battle Armor to break through, he'll need at least half a year or more of breaking-in period. I'll trouble you, Senior, for these six months."
Dugu Bo picked up the Battle Armor and left directly.
A delivery guy?
That's exactly what this old man does.
