Chapter 134: Hu Bai: Silly Boy, Your Father Has Already Dissipated into Thin Air
Yue Guan's unintentional revelation also caused Ah Yin's delicate body to tremble slightly.
Gui Mei nodded. "Indeed, the Emperor among plant Soul Beasts has now fallen to such a state."
At present, the two of them and Ah Yin had no conflicting interests, so they could view this matter from a clear, bystander's perspective.
The story of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transforming into human form and falling in love with a human Soul Master was actually quite touching.
For Soul Masters, this was an anomaly among humans—to fall in love with a Soul Beast and even have a child.
For Soul Beasts, this was a traitor to the Soul Beast world; Soul Masters hunted Soul Beasts, yet they fell in love with humans.
Neither side was pleased.
If the two eventually achieved a positive outcome, that would be fine, as there would naturally be great scholars to argue for them later.
But if the two failed, as in the case of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, then the outcome would naturally not be too good.
"Xiao Bai, what should we do with her? Should we eradicate her, or spare her life?" Yue Guan asked.
Hu Bai did not state his own thoughts but instead asked, "Uncle Yue, Uncle Gui, what are your thoughts?"
The two's expressions clearly hesitated slightly, but at Hu Bai's signal, Yue Guan first expressed his opinion: "Hmm, actually, if possible, I think we can spare her life. After all, possessing the imperial Bloodline of the Blue Silver Clan is quite difficult, and she might become another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the future."
However, Gui Mei said, "My thoughts are a bit different from Yue Guan's. Although this Blue Silver Emperor now needs many years to grow to the level of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, if our Spirit Hall still exists at that time, will she seek revenge on us?"
"If her consciousness and memories can be erased, I think her life can be spared, and she can be sent back to the Star Dou Great Forest to grow freely. But if not, it's better to eradicate her."
Gui Mei's suggestion was precisely Hu Bai's own idea—a win-win solution.
After all, Ah Yin had done nothing wrong from the beginning; they merely had different stances.
Since they didn't need her soul ring, there was no reason to kill her. The rate of Soul Beast extinction was already rapid, and Spirit Hall needed to take the lead.
Unless necessary, indiscriminate killing was prohibited.
"Ah, I'll handle this. I should be able to do it."
As he spoke, a scepter suddenly appeared in Hu Bai's hand. The wheel of fate on it spun, and a pure white energy fell upon the Blue Silver Emperor. Her body rapidly shrank, finally transforming into a seed.
Blue Silver Emperor Seed!
"This Xiao Bai, what is this weapon of yours?" Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Ling Yuan asked, seeing this kind of weapon for the first time.
"This should be considered my Companion Divine Artifact. It controls the power of fate and space-time. Now, this Blue Silver Emperor is equivalent to entering reincarnation and gaining a new life. We just need to send her back to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Divine Artifact!
Yue Guan asked curiously, "May I ask, what is the function of your Divine Artifact?"
Hu Bai pondered for a moment before answering, "Actually, it's about influencing a person's fate. For example, by bestowing some luck upon them, they can become continuously fortunate, even cultivating and leveling up like flowing water; or by extracting the opponent's luck, they will become unlucky.
Of course, my current Cultivation is still too low, and the influence I can exert is limited. Just like this Blue Silver Emperor—she is very weak now, which is why I can make her regress to an embryonic state.
But if it were you, it would probably drain my Qi, spirit, and essence, and still be impossible."
Hu Bai shook his head helplessly.
The three of them found nothing amiss with this; the ability to influence others' luck was too Heaven-defying.
Until now, was your Highness's Martial Soul only beginning to show its power?
Putting Ah Yin's seed into his embrace, the four of them left Holy Soul Village, taking a slight detour to the nearby Star Dou Great Forest.
They only needed to place Ah Yin's seed on the outskirts of the forest. With the Emperor's aura on her, a Blue Silver King should quickly come to take her back to the Blue Silver Ancestral Land, using its energy to help her sprout and grow.
Now that Ah Yin had lost her memory, the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline on Tang San's body was naturally useless.
Tang Hao was dead, Ah Yin had undergone reincarnation, and no one could tell him that the Blue Silver Grass on him was actually an unevolved Blue Silver Emperor.
On the way to the Star Dou Great Forest, Hu Bai first found a nearby city, rented a room to rest, and incidentally absorbed this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.
Meanwhile, on the other side…
A few days later, Tang Xiao finally arrived at Holy Soul Village. The village was too remote; he asked several villagers and happened to meet one from Holy Soul Village, who explained the situation and led him over.
"Tang San, Tang San, this person says he's your dad's elder brother, and he has something important to tell you." Old Jack brought Tang Xiao to the house where Tang Hao lived.
Looking at the dilapidated wooden house, Tang Xiao felt very uneasy.
Hearing the sound, Tang San quickly trotted out of the house, blinking with curiosity as he looked at Tang Xiao. Upon closer inspection, this person indeed bore some resemblance to his father.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Tang San asked cautiously.
As Tang San looked at him, Tang Xiao was also observing Tang San. So alike! So much like Tang Hao!
It was just that his appearance was a bit ordinary. Ah Yin was such a beautiful person—why did the child she gave birth to look so ordinary, not inheriting any of her looks?
Tang San was only three years old now; Tang Xiao thought it was better not to tell him the truth.
Then he spoke, "I am your father's elder brother. You should call me Uncle. To put it simply, your father has a very important matter to deal with. Before he left, he found me and asked me to bring you back to the sect so he could rest assured."
"Sect? Where did my father go?" Tang San asked with a bad premonition.
Tang Xiao replied, "Hmm, your father was originally a member of the Clear Sky Sect, but he committed some acts back then that angered Spirit Hall, and our sect was implicated. Your father could only live in seclusion here with you—to avoid Spirit Hall's investigation.
And now he feels you can take care of yourself, but he's still a bit worried, so he asked me to bring you back to the sect. If your Martial Soul is good in the future, you'll be well cultivated. If not, you can stay in the sect at ease. Do you understand?"
Tang San quickly processed the information and concluded: the matter his father was involved in was very dangerous—so dangerous that it might threaten him or even put his life at risk. He decided to ask his Uncle to take him away!
Hu Bai: Silly boy, your father has already dissipated into thin air.
