Chapter 129: Tang Hao is dead, go to Holy Soul Village!
"No, don't! If you kill me, my grandfather is still alive, and he won't let your Spirit Hall off! Just wait!" Tang Hao's face was filled with terror; he didn't want to die so soon.
But before Tang Hao could finish his threats, his body was crushed by Qian Daoliu. Afterward, six glowing Soul Bones floated before the two of them.
Since he had already offended them completely, whether Tang Hao made threats or not had no impact on him.
He had cultivated until now and never claimed to be a very good person. He would be good to his family, but toward enemies, he would not show mercy, nor would he be a bleeding heart. He would kill when necessary!
Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the six Soul Bones, very satisfied. "Tang Hao truly lived up to being the former Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect. The quality of his Soul Bones is indeed excellent."
Among Tang Hao's Soul Bones, there were two Legacy Soul Bones, and their age exceeded seventy to eighty thousand years!
Even the lowest of the other Soul Bones was twenty thousand years old. This configuration, within the Spirit Hall, was only slightly inferior to his and Golden Crocodile's.
"These six Soul Bones will be stored in the Spirit Hall's treasury for now. When your elder brother's cultivation reaches rank forty, how about Grandpa Qian giving him the oldest Soul Bone among them?"
The oldest among them was the eighty-thousand-year-old right arm bone.
It was a powerful offensive Soul Bone, very suitable for Xie Yue.
Hu Bai also nodded. Over the years, he and Hu Liena had both obtained Soul Bones, leaving only his elder brother without any.
And after the Spirit Hall announced the establishment of the Spirit Empire, this news quickly spread throughout the entire continent.
Heaven Dou Empire.
"What did you say! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect actually chose to join the Spirit Hall? Cough... cough, cough." Emperor Xue Ye was furious. In his agitation, he coughed repeatedly, his face flushed, clearly congested. Before long, he spat out a mouthful of old blood and fell into a coma.
"Quick, summon the imperial physician! Summon the imperial physician!" Prince Xue Xing was anxious.
The Heaven Dou Empire's strength was originally inferior to that of the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire. They had already lost Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, and now even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had announced their allegiance to the Spirit Hall. Was Heaven trying to destroy the Heaven Dou Empire?!
Star Luo Empire.
The Star Luo Emperor also learned of the Spirit Hall's establishment as an empire. To be honest, he was not surprised.
Over the years, besides balancing the Two Great Empires, the Spirit Hall had been issuing various benevolent policies, winning the hearts of the people, and recruiting Soul Masters. Even a fool would know that the Spirit Hall had great ambitions.
And now, those ambitions were finally revealed.
But!
What if he guessed it? A sense of powerlessness also rose in his heart. If the Worship Hall's people did not intervene, with his army of a million, he should be able to contend with the Spirit Hall.
At worst, they could unite with the Heaven Dou Empire.
Although Soul Masters were strong, their soul power would eventually be exhausted. They could fight with their lives and time.
But... there was one thing he wasn't sure about. What if, when war broke out later, the Spirit Hall, disregarding martial ethics, sent several Titled Douluo to assassinate him? What then?
He was merely a Soul Douluo. Even if his and the empress's Martial Soul fusion skill could display the strength of a Titled Douluo, martial soul fusion required time, and he and the empress couldn't always stay together...
Sigh.
Clear Sky Sect.
The moment Tang Hao was captured, he used his last resort to transmit a message to Tang Xiao, informing him that his son was still in Holy Soul Village and hoping he could bring him back to the Clear Sky Sect.
And on the back mountain of Holy Soul Village, the Blue Silver Grass Ah Yin had transformed into was planted there, along with a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone. This was left by Ah Yin for Tang San.
If possible, Tang Hao didn't want to reveal this, but he knew that once he was captured by the Spirit Hall, it was highly unlikely he would ever get out.
So he could only hope that Tang Xiao would go to Holy Soul Village and take them away.
Although he suspected that Tang San might not be his son, he had no evidence whatsoever. Ah Yin had only ever been with him, so whose child could it be if not his?
Originally, he wanted to wait until Tang San was six years old to see what Martial Soul Tang San would awaken before making plans, but now it seemed there was no hope.
Tang Xiao's heart stirred. A hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone— even he, as the elder brother, would be envious.
When Ah Yin sacrificed herself back then, he was also very heartbroken. After all, both he and Tang Hao had fallen in love with Ah Yin, but Ah Yin preferred Tang Hao, so he withdrew.
And when Ah Yin sacrificed herself, Tang Hao was already full of Soul Bones, so he had always known that Tang Hao probably hadn't absorbed the hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone belonging to Ah Yin!
"Second Elder, you and the other Elders go back first to inform the Clear Sky Sect to enter a Level One alert state. Do not leave the sect. If our sect remains closed, it will be relatively difficult for the Spirit Hall to attack us," Tang Xiao said.
"Then what are you going to do?" The Second Elder frowned, clearly knowing that Tang Xiao's words had a hidden meaning.
"Tang Hao sent me a message, saying he has a three-year-old child outside. I need to go bring him back to the Clear Sky Sect now. Elder, although Tang Hao is guilty toward the Clear Sky Sect, he has now been captured by the Spirit Hall and has probably met with misfortune. Now we must preserve his only bloodline."
The elders looked at each other, and the Second Elder pondered for a moment before sighing. "Alright, then go and return quickly. We will return to the sect first."
Originally, they wouldn't have been so accommodating, as the impact Tang Hao had on the Clear Sky Sect back then was indeed significant.
But now that Tang Hao was likely dead, a touch of pity arose in their hearts. After all, they were family, and they should help look after his descendants.
Watching the elders leave with Tang Yuehua, Tang Xiao's lips could barely suppress his smile. That hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone was his!
However, he didn't know where Holy Soul Village was and would have to ask for directions.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Early the next morning, Hu Bai bid farewell to Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Qian Renxue, and then he and Yue Guan set off for the Extreme North.
"Yay, we're finally going to the Extreme North!" Tianmeng Iceworm excitedly shouted.
However, before going to the Extreme North, Hu Bai planned to visit Holy Soul Village first. He had been coveting that hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone for a long time.
The Blue Silver Emperor contained extremely rich life energy, which could make the plants he summoned more resilient and vital, just like the Thousand Hands Silly.
Although it couldn't be as abnormal as the wood he summoned, it shouldn't be too far off.
Moreover, now that Tang Hao is dead, Tang San should be left alone in Holy Soul Village, right?
If possible, he wouldn't mind caging Tang San first.
He had considered killing Tang San, but Tang San had the Asura God's attention on him. What if his luck attracted the Asura God out?
