Going deep into the Star Dou Great Forest was difficult, but leaving was easy.
Tang Lan activated his Blue Silver Domain, disguising himself and Tang San as Blue Silver Grass.
Then, using his mental power to scan, they bypassed the higher-level Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
The other little creatures were all bound by Tang Lan.
Life Burial, a round of plunder, mental power feeding his Double Pupils, soul power released for Life Burial and then stored.
Occasionally encountering a low-level Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he could even use his fourth Soul Skill, experimenting with the Soul Seed's parasitic ability.
A Soul Seed could only be created once, and it only lasted for 30 seconds.
But as long as the target had a wound, the Life-Soul Blue Silver Emperor could entangle them, sending the Soul Seed into their body through the blood.
It could then slowly absorb soul power, sustaining itself.
Once the target used soul power, the Soul Seed would parasitize their soul!
Silently.
However, if there was no wound, and the Soul Seed entered the body through breathing, the limitations increased.
First, the Soul Seed had to be delivered to the target's surroundings.
Furthermore, the target couldn't use soul power to protect themselves, couldn't be in a spirit avatar state, and couldn't use their true spirit body.
It could only enter the body through the air with each breath.
The requirements were extremely strict.
But considering the terrifying effect of the Soul Seed, it was understandable.
Furthermore, Tang Lan had an unexpected discovery!
The Life Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone also inherited the evolution characteristics of an external spirit bone, capable of continuing to absorb life force to increase its lifespan!
Although due to its high lifespan, the amount of life force required for each year was enormous.
The possibility of evolution was, after all, a good thing.
The previously useless life force absorbed by the Life-Soul Blue Silver Emperor.
Suddenly became highly sought after.
Regeneration required it, resurrection required it, and evolution also required it.
Under such demands.
Wherever Tang Lan passed, a pile of soul beasts would be drained, weakly lying on the ground like corpses.
Other soul beasts discovered this place.
The timid ones turned and ran, while the bold ones started a self-help mode.
A mysterious legend was left behind in the Star Dou Great Forest.
One day later.
Tang Lan reluctantly looked at the Star Dou Great Forest, not wanting to leave.
This day passed.
His Eight Spider Lances absorbed some of the toxins, increasing its age by about 300 years.
The Life Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, although it absorbed a large amount of life force, only increased by about 52 years.
What was outrageous was his Double Pupils!
Every single Soul Beast's mental power was exclusively enjoyed by it.
It increased by a full 6,100 years!
Its age broke through the ten-thousand-year mark, reaching 12,074 years.
The Soul Bone evolved again, unlocking a third skill slot!
And the range of copied skills was expanded to include others' self-created Soul Skills.
That is to say, if Tang Hao were here now, Tang Lan could store three uses of "Exploding Ring"!
Skills like Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes and Crane Control and Dragon Catch were also within the scope of the copy.
This made Tang Lan want more.
He wanted to see if the 20,000-year-old Double Pupils would evolve again?
But he couldn't.
Zhao Wuji and the others were still waiting at the Tang Sect Inn.
A day and a half had already passed.
If he delayed any longer, they might come back.
That would be troublesome.
He could only rush back to stabilize the situation. After that, he would establish a solid foundation in Heaven Dou City before heading to Sunset Forest to devour.
—There's still a Human-Faced Demon Spider there.
Although it's only 6,000 years old, even a mosquito's leg is still meat.
As for the one in the Star Dou Great Forest, the over 50,000-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor, he'd leave it for now.
He would kill it and absorb it when the Eight Spider Lances were ready to charge toward becoming a divine weapon.
He was pondering.
Tang Lan and Tang San hurried along the way. When night fell, they finally arrived at the Tang Sect Inn.
Strangely,
there were no guards outside.
Getting closer,
You could still hear the heated arguments inside.
"I already said it! In that situation, reinforcements wouldn't have arrived in time!" Zhao Wuji roared angrily. "I was going to sacrifice myself to cover the escape of these little monsters! It was the Sect Master who was confident he could escape, so he sent us away!"
Tang Lan stopped in his tracks.
Tang San also listened intently.
"Then, since you sent them out of the Star Dou Great Forest, why didn't you go back to look for him?" Someone said furiously, "Xiao San and Xiao Lan have outstanding talent. Letting them stay behind to cover the retreat would be a loss for the entire continent!"
These words…
"Master, even if you are Tang San's teacher, you have no right to criticize Hall Master Zhao!" Dai Mubai said coldly, "If the Sect Master chose to let us go, then he must have been confident in escaping!"
"Confident?" Flender questioned loudly, "Just a four-ring Soul Ancestor, who hasn't even obtained his fourth soul ring, has confidence in escaping from a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape?"
The arguments inside continued.
Tang Lan could tell what was going on.
It was Yu Xiaogang and Flender chasing after them, scolding Zhao Wuji for mishandling the situation after hearing about the Titan Giant Ape.
Perhaps in Yu Xiaogang's mind, the lives of everyone present weren't worth as much as a Tang San who could validate "his theory," right?
As for Tang Lan, Yu Xiaogang had once regarded Tang Lan as someone he had cultivated.
How could he not be angry that such a "masterpiece" had been ruined?
Tang Lan also chuckled.
He looked at Tang San, using a mental link to communicate.
"Little San, do you think your teacher is right?"
Tang San considered what had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.
It wasn't the best choice, whether Zhao Wuji sent Dai Mubai and the others away and then turned back to find the two of them.
Or if he had disregarded everything and gone to rescue them.
Because all the Flight Mushroom Sausages were left on the ground, and Tang San picked them up.
How far had Tang Lan and Tang San traveled using the Fire Wings?
Oscar couldn't possibly produce so many Flight Mushroom Sausages in such a short time.
By the time they arrived.
Tang Lan and Tang San would have already obtained their soul rings and would be leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.
If they were in the middle, and ran into other high-level Soul Beasts, or even the Titan Giant Ape that had "lost" Xiao Wu…
That would be a huge problem!
But as Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Tang San, like Oscar, couldn't offer too much commentary.
He could only respond,
"It's normal that Master doesn't know the situation at the time, so he can't make an accurate decision."
"And he's just concerned about us."
Tang Lan chuckled.
Not dwelling on this, he raised his hand and pushed open the doors of the Tang Sect Inn.
"Bang—"
The arguing inside stopped!
Everyone turned to look at Tang San and Tang Lan at the door, their eyes filled with surprise!
"Sect Master!"
"Sect Master, you're back!"
"Uncle Tang, you're alright! That's wonderful!"
Ning Rongrong was the first to rush over, wanting to throw herself into Tang Lan's arms.
Tang Lan sidestepped, avoiding her.
Ning Rongrong used Lingbo Weibu, turning around like a spinning top, and stabilized her body.
She turned back, looking at Tang Lan with a resentful expression.
But the others also surged forward at this moment, concernedly asking about Tang Lan's condition.
As for Tang San…
He was shoved aside by the burly Zhao Wuji.
Tang San: "…"
Fortunately,
Yu Xiaogang and Flender came over, examining Tang San.
After confirming that he was alright, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao San, how did you escape?" Yu Xiaogang asked, "That was a 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape, you guys..."
Tang San didn't know where to begin.
He was just organizing his thoughts.
Then, he heard Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice, "Where's Xiao Wu?"
Everyone fell silent again!
Yeah!
Where's Xiao Wu? Weren't you guys going to save her? Could it be…
Everyone looked at Tang Lan, waiting for an explanation.
Tang Lan responded.
