After some thought, Xiao Tian first went to find Dugu Bo and told him to inform the others that he would be leaving Heaven Dou City for a period of time due to some matters.
Dugu Bo could tell Xiao Tian had something important, but he didn't ask further, only telling Xiao Tian to be careful.
Suddenly, Xiao Tian seemed to remember something and handed an item to Dugu Bo—it was the space-travel jade pendant. This item wasn't of much use to him now, and he planned to have Dugu Bo pass it on to Xiao Wu.
After hearing about the item's function, Dugu Bo was also deeply shocked. Was this thing also one of the spirit tools Xiao Tian had created?
Facing Xiao Tian's trust, Dugu Bo was deeply moved.
After leaving the city, Xiao Tian had Ah Yin constantly monitor the movements of Tang Hao and Tang San, while he maintained a safe distance from them to prevent being discovered by Tang Hao.
Since he had taken the Blue Silver EmperorRight Leg Bone and Ah Yin, he felt it was necessary to accept this karma.
If Tang Hao were to slaughter the villagers of Saint Spirit Village because of him, he would feel uneasy, and it would also have a negative impact on his future sword path.
Half a day after Xiao Tian left, Xiao Wu and the others gradually learned from Dugu Bo that Xiao Tian had left Heaven Dou City early in the morning due to urgent matters and told them not to worry.
In private, Dugu Bo also handed the jade pendant Xiao Tian gave him to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu's tender hands tightly gripped the jade pendant, and she looked towards Heaven Dou City with a sense of worry in her heart.
Under Tang Hao's full-speed travel with Tang San, they finally returned to Saint Spirit Village in less than ten days.
Xiao Tian, who was following behind them, had already changed into a black robe and disguised himself with Da Ming's aura.
Saint Spirit Village's back mountain.
Tang Hao brought Tang San to a certain spot and stood there for a while before he began to act.
Tang San also looked at his father's actions with excitement. Was this the place where the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone was stored?
Immediately after, an ancient small box was dug out by Tang Hao.
However, the moment he saw the box, his brows slightly furrowed. Was this the box where he originally stored the Spirit Bone?
Why did the style feel a bit off?
And the weight of this box also seemed wrong!
Although he hadn't touched this box for over ten years, he was absolutely certain he hadn't misremembered its weight!
Immediately, he quickly opened the box, only to find it filled with a pile of stones!
Tang Hao was silent.
Tang Hao turned red with rage.
Tang Hao erupted!
"Who! Who on earth! Took the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone I placed here!" Tang Hao spoke each word distinctly, his aura continuously expanding.
Tang San looked at the box full of stones in Tang Hao's hand and tentatively said, "Father, could it be that you've looked in the wrong place?"
Although Tang San said this, he didn't believe his father would be so senile as to make such a mistake.
"It's impossible to be wrong! This back mountain is rarely visited by anyone, and I hid it in a corner, buried very deep. The villagers of Saint Spirit Village are just ordinary people, without even spirit power, so it couldn't have been them who discovered and took it, could it?"
Although Tang Hao was furious, he still retained his rationality.
Suddenly, Tang Hao looked towards the cave nearby, a bad premonition in his heart. He immediately walked in, only to find that Ah Yin was no longer there, having disappeared!
"Father, what's wrong?" Tang San watched his father enter the cave, his expression growing even uglier.
Tang Hao's face was grim, and he said in a low voice, "Your mother, who transformed into Blue Silver Grass, was originally planted here by me, but now she's gone!"
Tang San looked around and said, "But Father, all these Blue Silver Grass look similar. How do you tell them apart?"
Tang Hao: "The Blue Silver Grass your mother transformed into, due to having the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, has blue-gold stripes on her leaves, which are very distinctive!"
Tang San: ...
This meant that his mother was gone, and the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone was also gone with her.
Now, the Spirit Bone he needed to improve his strength was gone. Wasn't this ten days wasted?
Xiao Tian, hidden in the void, watched Tang Hao and Tang San from afar, almost unable to stop laughing.
Tang Hao's bewildered expression as he looked at the box filled with stones was simply too hilarious, hahaha!
The two small beasts in Xiao Tian's spiritual space also couldn't help but laugh at this scene.
"Xiao Tian, shouldn't we appear now? It wouldn't be good if they affected the villagers of Saint Spirit Village later."
Just as Xiao Tian nodded, preparing to find an opportune moment to act, he stopped.
Below.
Tang Hao, enraged, said, "No, I'm going to find Old Jack and ask him clearly to see if anyone has been digging pits in the back mountain these past years and found anything!"
Tang Hao even suspected that perhaps the villagers of Saint Spirit Village, while weeding the back mountain, had directly dug up Ah Yin!
Although Ah Yin possessed the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, she was currently only a hundred-year-level Blue Silver Grass, and combined with her focus on life support during her lifetime, she had absolutely no offensive capabilities.
At this moment, Tang San suddenly stopped Tang Hao and said, "Father, do you think Mother might have been taken away by her clansmen? After all, you haven't returned for so many years, and Mother also told you to take me to the Blue Silver Ancestral Land to awaken my Blue Silver Emperor bloodline when I reached level fifty. Is there a possibility that she has already notified her clansmen to wait for us at the Blue Silver Ancestral Land and accelerate her recovery?"
Tang Hao: ???
Hmm? What his son guessed actually made some sense!
Generally speaking, ordinary Blue Silver Grass, limited by its nature as a plant Spirit Beast, is rooted in the ground and cannot move freely. However, once it reaches fifty thousand years and evolves into a Blue Silver King, it gains the ability to move freely.
And Ah Yin, as the Blue Silver Emperor, has the ability to rule the entire clan. Although her cultivation is not high now, she is fully capable of notifying the Blue Silver King in the Blue Silver Ancestral Land to come and take her away!
"Little San, what you said makes a lot of sense, but the stones in this box, how do you explain that?"
Tang Hao looked at the box in his hand, frowning as he spoke.
Tang San: ...
Oh, he forgot about that.
Xiao Tian, who was hidden in the void, also didn't expect Tang San to have such a thought process, so he said to Ah Yin, "Ah Yin, now control the Blue Silver Grass on the back mountain and make them sway rhythmically. Once Tang Hao notices, then have their branches and leaves all point towards the Blue Silver Ancestral Land."
"Let's go, let's go find Old Jack first and see if he knows what's going on. If we don't get a good answer, none of them will live!" Tang Hao's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness.
