CHAPTER 334: CHAPTER 334: FATHER AND SON REUNITED

Tang Ya had a stern expression as she used her Blue Silver Grass to devour the flesh and blood of the evil soul masters.

Both Beibei and Huo Yuhao stared at her in astonishment.

This behavior—wasn’t it exactly like an evil soul master?!Could it be that Tang Ya was also turning into one?

Huo Yuhao looked over at Ziji (Purple Princess), even more confused.

She used to constantly reject him—so why the sudden change in attitude?

His martial uncle was her brother-in-law?

Trying to suppress his emotions, Huo Yuhao grew increasingly puzzled. "Senior, could you return the book to me? And that elder sister, she..."

Ziji glanced at the book, her eyes conflicted.

It was a book handwritten by her brother-in-law—she really didn’t want to give it away!But it was something he had gifted to someone else...

"Here!"

Ziji turned away, unable to watch, and pushed the book into Huo Yuhao’s chest.

He was nearly shoved backward and startled.

He hadn’t expected her to care more about this book than he did!

Hurriedly putting the book away, he tried to shift the topic and looked toward the encroaching group of evil soul masters. "Senior, what about that sister’s condition..."

Beibei grew anxious too and blurted, "Senior! Tang Ya’s situation—this is corruption! She’s turning into an evil soul master!"

While they were talking, Tang Ya’s Blue Silver Grass had already devoured the corpses of the evil soul masters and now surged snake-like toward the remaining ones still alive.

The few remaining evil soul masters could now only muster the power of a two-ringed Soul Grandmaster.

Faced with the aggressive Blue Silver Grass, they hurried to dodge.

But the hundreds of tendrils seemed to have eyes, chasing and entwining them with precision.

Soon, one evil soul master was caught.

More tendrils came, wrapping him up like a dumpling.

He struggled, but the grass only tightened around him, sprouting barbs that pierced and drained his blood.

The once-green Blue Silver Grass had turned a dark blue, thicker and emitting a menacing dark aura.

It was clearly evolving toward an evil martial soul.

It devoured their flesh and blood with a mad hunger, growing stronger.

Tang Ya’s eyes turned blood-red. Black mist swirled around her—it was a full transformation into an evil soul master.

Beibei panicked and reached for Ziji. "Senior! Please stop Tang Ya!"

BOOM!!

A sudden burst of force flung Beibei away.

He rolled a few times on the ground and spat out blood.

Ziji snorted coldly, "Who do you think you are? You dare touch me?"

"Don’t fail to appreciate my kindness! Without me, that little girl Tang Ya would never in her life have become a Soul Emperor!"

"Now that I’ve awakened the evil attribute in her martial soul, she should be thanking me! She’s got the potential to become a Titled Douluo!"

Ziji tilted her chin proudly.

"Senior... but..." Beibei’s handsome face was full of worry.

Evil soul masters were indeed powerful—but they also suffered mental corruption.

No matter how strong, they eventually lost their reason and turned extreme.

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, looking at the injured Beibei on the ground. He felt fortunate he hadn’t tried to touch Ziji earlier.

So she really hated being touched...

"Senior, what if this sister ends up like those evil soul masters?"

Huo Yuhao asked cautiously.

At the same time, the Skydream Iceworm in his mind began shouting,"Yuhao! Don’t provoke her! I recognize her! That’s Ziji—the Hell Demon Dragon King! She’s absolutely crazy and super dangerous!"

Ziji curled her lip. "I’ll handle it my way!"

Huo Yuhao shut his mouth. He was just a little soul master—how could he question a powerhouse like her?

Meanwhile, Tang Ya had completely succumbed to the slaughter.

The few surviving evil soul masters tried to flee to the altar, calling out for the Nether Thunder Douluo—but the Blue Silver Grass chased them down, entwined them, and devoured them alive.

The evil aura around Tang Ya intensified. Once she finished them off, she turned her blood-red eyes to Ziji.

"Ziji... sister..."

Tang Ya’s voice was hoarse; even her speech was slurred.

She was at a critical moment in her transformation, holding on to the last thread of sanity.

The Blue Silver Grass beneath her feet—dark blue and writhing like serpents.

"Senior, please stop Tang Ya from falling..."

Beibei pleaded, his face streaked with blood.

Ziji smiled faintly. In a flash, she appeared beside Tang Ya and placed a hand on her shoulder, injecting dark purple soul power.

But it only made the black mist surge more violently.

Tang Ya cried out in pain.

Beibei and Huo Yuhao both froze, a terrible premonition rising.

Ziji let go and scratched her face. "How about... you just become an evil soul master?"

"???"

Beibei and Huo Yuhao stared at her in disbelief.

What the heck was wrong with this woman?!She was so unreliable!

Even Tang Ya looked dumbfounded, staring blankly at her.

If people had a choice—who would want to be an evil soul master?!

"Ziji sister... I... I don’t want to. Please help me..." Tang Ya was close to tears.

Ziji scratched her head, thinking.

"I don’t know how!"

"No point forcing me! I really can’t do anything. If you truly don’t want to be an evil soul master, I could just give you a quick death!"

Ziji said, throwing up her hands.

"..." Everyone was speechless.

All thinking the same thing: This woman is so shady!

Beibei struggled to his knees, tears falling. "Senior! As long as you can save Tang Ya, I’ll do anything! I’m the descendant of the Holy Light Dragon Mu En, I..."

Huo Yuhao, remembering how Tang Ya had always spoken well of him, also rushed forward to plead.

"Senior, please save her..."

Ziji stomped in frustration. "It’s not like I want to hurt her! I really don’t have a solution!"

"Brother-in-law! Get out here and help!!"

Ziji suddenly shouted toward the sky, her voice echoing through the valley.

The three of them froze, not understanding what she was doing.

But just then, the black mist around Tang Ya erupted more violently—then started withdrawing back into her body, and her aura surged.

From a Level 31 Soul Elder, she rapidly rose in power!

She was completing the evil soul master transformation!

Beibei and Huo Yuhao began to despair.

They were out of time...

Just then, the air rippled—and Dan Heng appeared out of thin air with Sea God Poseidon beside him.

Ziji’s eyes locked onto Dan Heng instantly. "Brother-in-law!!!"

She screamed with joy, leaping into Dan Heng’s arms, dragging Longlong (the child) with her.

Little Longlong pouted as he clung to Dan Heng—clearly happy after nearly two weeks apart—hugging tightly to his clothes.

Dan Heng gently pulled away after holding them a moment.

Weighing Longlong in his arms, he smiled.

"Brother-in-law! Why haven’t you come home? My sister and I missed you so much! Bi Ji and Zhu Zhuqing almost..."

Ziji’s face was flushed, bouncing on her toes.

Dan Heng replied calmly, "There were matters that needed thought. Now that this is resolved, I’ll return."

"Ha? Dan Heng! Look what this messed-up sister-in-law of yours did! She almost turned someone into an evil soul master!"Poseidon loudly complained.

Beibei saw Ziji’s respect for Dan Heng and immediately bowed in desperation, "Senior, please save Tang Ya..."

Ziji glared at Poseidon. "Shut up, you!"

Dan Heng shook his head slightly and released a wisp of glowing green light from his fingertip.

It floated over to Tang Ya.

Divine Power of Life.

Immediately, Tang Ya was enveloped in a glowing cocoon of light.

The writhing Blue Silver Grass around her violently shook, but as the green light spread, its black hue faded.

Very soon, all the evil aura was completely purified.

She was just a minor evil soul master—Dan Heng’s divine life energy instantly cleansed it.

In fact, it even helped her evolve—toward life!

The green light turned to white, purifying her energy and restoring her essence. The Blue Silver Grass evolved into Blue Silver Emperor.

Tang Ya’s eyes cleared, and she knelt before Dan Heng.

Excitement filled her face.

She could feel the transformation within.

As a Blue Silver Emperor, her talent would rank among the top plant-based soul masters in the Douluo Continent.

Even the founder of Tang Sect from 10,000 years ago, Tang San, had the Blue Silver Emperor as his martial soul!

"Thank you, senior...!"

Ziji huffed and raised her brow. "Not thanking me?"

Tang Ya stood, walked over, and hugged Ziji’s arm. "Of course I’m grateful, Sister Ziji..."

Only then did Ziji look satisfied.

Poseidon muttered, "Shameless..."

Ziji immediately glared. "Shut up!"

"Hm?" Dan Heng suddenly raised his brow, looking toward the altar.

There, the black mist summoned by the evil soul masters condensed into a pale white glow.

Like a massive, unstable firefly, it radiated an incredibly pure dark aura.

Poseidon also looked, stunned.

"With that level of purity, its mastery of darkness could rival even the God of Darkness... An Evil God? But not quite god-tier..."

He shot forward. "I need to see what this is!"

Dan Heng didn’t move, simply observing Poseidon.

"Martial Uncle, if the evil soul masters summoned an evil god, could it hurt Teacher...?" Huo Yuhao asked nervously.

Ziji sneered, "Heh! Can’t even break that bastard’s skin! Don’t worry."

Huo Yuhao didn’t appreciate her tone, but said nothing.

Dan Heng continued watching the battle silently.

Poseidon chased the white glow, summoning several water dragons to surround it.

The glow tried to flee into the sky, dodging easily.

"You think you can escape?" Poseidon snorted. He transformed into blue light and blocked the glow’s path.

Trapped, the white glow tried to crash into him.

But just as Poseidon grabbed it—it disappeared!

"!!!"

He missed, the water dragons hovering awkwardly around his face.

His old face turned red.

An actual first-tier god, and he failed to catch a tiny evil god?

"Is that all? That’s it?"Ziji taunted from below.

Dan Heng calmly said, "Behind you. It’s hiding in a sub-dimension."

Poseidon dismissed the dragons, summoned a giant net of seawater, and slammed behind him—space trembled, and the white glow reappeared.

Caught in the net, it writhed but couldn’t escape.

Poseidon brought it down with a sneer. "If I let you get away, I’m not Poseidon!"

He landed and held the glow.

"It’s a fragment of divine consciousness..."

The white glow stilled in his grip, no longer struggling.

Dan Heng narrowed his eyes, glancing up at the sky.

He could sense the presence of planar will once more.

Was this glow’s appearance really a coincidence?

"From another dimension. Almost at god-level... even surpassing some true gods in technique. What a genius..." Poseidon praised.

"Leave it to me," Dan Heng said.

"Alright."

Poseidon handed it over.

Dan Heng carefully stored it—it might be tied to something significant. He needed answers.

Poseidon rubbed his hands. "Dan Heng, how about that soul tool you prepared for Yuhao? As a reward... I think you were satisfied with his performance, right? What do you think, Longlong?"

He pinched Longlong’s cheek.

Both of them knew that Huo Yuhao was part of Longlong’s command.

His performance had been quite impressive—especially his courage.

Dan Heng nodded, lifting his hand. Several soul tools floated in the air—all personally modified.

Longlong clapped, eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao, sensing their close bond.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head, blushing in embarrassment.

Ziji suddenly hugged Dan Heng’s arm.

"Brother-in-law! He’s just a little soul master—he doesn’t need so many soul tools. Save some for me... and Longlong!"

Her eyes sparkled as she pointed at the tools.

"Hey, you—" Poseidon looked unhappy.

Huo Yuhao quickly waved his hands. "Martial Uncle, I don’t dare..."

"We’ll split them!" Ziji grabbed three, leaving only two slightly weaker ones.

Dan Heng shook his head and handed the two to Huo Yuhao. "They’re growth-type soul tools. They’ll fully unlock when you reach Soul Sage."

"Thank you, Martial Uncle!" Huo Yuhao said gratefully.

Beibei and Tang Ya watched from the side, envy flashing in their eyes.

Even though Shrek Academy soul masters didn’t love soul tools, they knew their value.

Huo Yuhao had really hit the jackpot!

Tang Ya was a little less jealous. Evolving into Blue Silver Emperor far outweighed any soul tool.

If she could just become this senior’s disciple...

Or even just Sister Ziji’s...

Meanwhile, the fleeing Nether Thunder Douluo ran until his soul power was depleted, slumping against a massive tree, gasping.

Suddenly, footsteps approached.

"Ming Lei...?"

A soft female voice he could never forget echoed nearby.
