Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 120 The Butterfly Effect of Hidden Hands

Nan Feihuang stared blankly at this scene.

What the hell? Tang San actually lost to Meng Yiran?

He didn't use any underhanded tactics. The mysteriously appearing true energy just now seemed to have gone unnoticed by anyone other than himself, including Zhao Wuji, the Snake Woman, and Qin Ming.

Snake Granny and Qin Ming are easy to deal with. No matter what, Zhao Wuji is a Soul Saint. He may not be able to beat a Soul Douluo, but it seems that it is not easy for an ordinary Soul Douluo to make a move in front of him silently without him noticing.

Only a Title Douluo can do it easily.

Moreover, the person who came was also proficient in Taoist techniques; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to disrupt Tang San's true energy so easily without actually injuring him.

"Hehe, old poisoner, it must be you. Besides me and Tang San, you're the only one in the world who has learned the Taoist Golden Body." Nan Feihuang had already guessed who was behind it, but he didn't understand what grudge he had against Tang San that would lead him to do this.

"Hmph, Tang Hao, I can't beat you, but I'll vent my anger by playing with your son. That shouldn't be too much, right?" Dugu Bo smiled sinisterly from the shadows.

He's never been known for his good temper. Although he and Lan Xue defeated Tang Hao last night, Tang Hao still threatened him with his life, leaving him seething with anger. He wouldn't easily kill or cripple Tang San, as the saying goes, "the sins of the father are visited upon the son." But being defeated by a woman and losing face isn't such a big deal, is it?

Dugu Bo had no idea that his small act of venting would have such a huge impact due to the butterfly effect.

It even disrupted Nan Feihuang's original plans, but not in a bad way. For example, since Meng Yiran already has the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent's soul ring, she no longer needs the Human-Faced Demon Spider. Long Gong will definitely not continue to hunt it down. As for Tang San and the Human-Faced Demon Spider, I wonder if they will ever meet again?

If Tang San loses the Human-Faced Demon Spider, the Eight Spider Lances, which will have a profound impact on his future, will probably also be gone.

Inside the woods, Zhao Wuji stared at the smug Chao Tianxiang with a grim face. He never expected that Tang San, who had caused him such a great loss, would be defeated by a young girl.

Now that the bet has been made, he has no room to back out. The Dragon and Snake couple are not so easy to bully.

"Senior Snake Granny, we are willing to accept our defeat. We leave the Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake to you to deal with. Oscar, please come back."

"Yes, Teacher Zhao!" Oscar looked reluctantly at the spirit ring that was about to be his, never expecting that the cooked duck could fly away like this.

Unfortunately, he lacked fighting ability. Tang San, who stood up for him, was defeated, and his backer Zhao Wuji also admitted defeat. What else could he do?

"Yiran, make your move!" Chaotianxiang shouted quickly upon seeing this.

She knew that Zhao Wuji wasn't a good person and might change his mind at any time. To avoid any unforeseen complications, it was best to let Meng Yiran absorb the soul ring as soon as possible and create a fait accompli.

No matter how ruthless Zhao Wuji is, he wouldn't risk turning against the Dragon and Snake Clan for something that's already beyond redemption.

"Hey!" Meng Yiran swung her snake staff without hesitation, piercing the head of the crested serpent.

With a purple soul ring taking shape, everything was settled.

Meng Yiran sat down and began absorbing the nutrients, much to Oscar's envy.

Neither Huang Dou nor Shrek Academy left, because Tang San was also cultivating. Meng Yiran's attack had made his blood boil. Although he hadn't suffered any internal injuries, he still needed to recuperate a bit.

Fortunately, the Taoist techniques were profound and extensive, and Tang San quickly calmed his internal energy.

"Tang San, are you alright? What exactly happened just now? I clearly saw that you were about to turn the tide, but you were defeated at the crucial moment," Zhao Wuji asked, puzzled.

"I don't know either. Just now, for a brief moment, all my soul power was blocked and couldn't circulate, which is why I was blasted away by Meng Yiran." Tang San stood up and said softly, "Teacher Zhao, I suspect that someone attacked me from the shadows just now."

"A sneak attack? Who could it be? Could it be Lord Long?" Zhao Wuji naturally focused his suspicions on Lord Long.

Although he has not yet appeared, it is more likely that he is hiding in the shadows.

After all, isn't the only one here who has the will and the ability to do this?

It couldn't possibly be a passing titled Douluo deliberately messing with Tang San, could it? Those big shots aren't that bored.

The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was of his guess. Zhao Wuji then called out loudly, "Senior Dragon Lord, since you've come, please show yourself!"

A series of footsteps sounded, and an old man holding a dragon staff emerged from the depths of the forest.

"The Immovable King, your name is well-deserved. I just arrived and you already discovered me." The person who came out was undoubtedly the Dragon King. His appearance at this moment made Zhao Wuji feel that his guess was correct.

"Hmph, Senior Dragon Lord, why be so secretive? I admit defeat today. I just never expected that the world-renowned Dragon and Snake couple would be such people?" Zhao Wuji didn't dare to openly reveal the "truth" about Dragon Lord's cheating. After all, he was no match for Dragon Lord, a Soul Douluo, and he had a group of children with him. If he directly revealed it, what if he angered Dragon Lord and wanted to kill him to silence him?

"What does Fudo Myo-o mean by that?" Long Gong frowned. He had just arrived and saw his granddaughter absorbing a soul ring. He didn't know what was going on.

The snake woman approached her husband and explained the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Long Gong looked at Zhao Wuji with disdain and said, "Immovable King, is this all the magnanimity you have? A fair bet, if you lose, you lose, why are you still so petty?"

He felt that Zhao Wuji was really too much of a sore loser, disgracing a Soul Saint level expert.

Zhao Wuji, however, felt that the old couple were putting on an act, which he found utterly ridiculous and infuriating.

"I wouldn't dare. How could I possibly hold anything against you two?" Zhao Wuji was still in a bad mood. He was someone who dared to offend even the Spirit Hall. How could he be polite after being tricked? If it weren't for the group of children, he would have gone up and fought even if the opponent was a Soul Douluo.

"Never mind, Teacher Zhao, it's just that my skills are inferior, so I can't blame others," Tang San quickly comforted Zhao Wuji, fearing he might act impulsively.

In truth, he was also filled with hatred. How could he not hate losing so inexplicably? But his fists were no match for his opponent's, so he had to hide all his hatred.

"Besides, I did gain something. Miss Meng's attack just now made my blood surge. After calming down, I found that my bottleneck was also broken and I have entered level 30."

"Oh, is that really true!" Zhao Wuji was overjoyed. If that were true, then it could be considered a blessing in disguise.

There are plenty of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. If you lose one, you can just find another. But the opportunity to break through to level 30 is much rarer. After all, this is the first watershed moment in a soul master's cultivation. The sooner you break through to level 30, the further you can go in the future.

With this good news, Zhao Wuji's anger subsided considerably, and he stopped talking to Long Gong.

As for his bullying of the weak and his plot against Tang San, someone will settle the score with him in the future. Does he really think Tang San is a nobody with no background? Otherwise, how did he end up with such a bruised and swollen face?

Nan Feihuang silently watched the two sides arguing, knowing that they were completely arguing about the wrong things.

It seems that Lord Long has taken the blame for Dugu Bo's actions.
