Chapter 242: Ah Yin's Collapse
Moreover, in order to let his descendants inherit the Blue Silver Emperor's legacy, Tang Hao had buried the seed left from his sacrifice in a cave.
Ah Yin had once naively thought that Tang Hao was afraid she might be discovered by evil people and hurt again. But now, it was clear that this was not the case. There could only be one Blue Silver Emperor in the world. If she restored her strength, Little Three would never be able to inherit the title of the Blue Silver Emperor.
However, she no longer cared about that. Leaving the inheritance to her son seemed acceptable.
The next morning, Tang Hao and his brother prepared breakfast and went to wake up Ah Yin in the neighboring tent.
"Ah Yin, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?"
Ah Yin glanced deeply at the brothers before showing a gentle smile.
"Yes, Ah Hao, I rarely sleep outdoors, and I didn't sleep well last night."
Tang Hao and his brother breathed a sigh of relief, thinking their plans hadn't been discovered. They turned and went back to serve the meal.
However, they didn't notice the deathly expression in Ah Yin's eyes, the sign of someone who had lost all hope for life.
Ah Yin didn't try to leave, because she felt she could never escape from the two brothers. Even if she was lucky enough to succeed, her son would never be born in this world.
The instinct of a mother made her choose to give up her life to bring Little Three into the world.
After breakfast, the three of them continued on their way to the Star Dou Forest, and what happened next did not surprise her.
The three encountered a masked soul master team and several high-level soul beasts that attacked them.
Tang Hao repeatedly saved himself from danger, suffering many injuries in the process. Ah Yin smiled and helped him heal his wounds, hiding any abnormal behavior.
As time passed, Tang Xiao returned to the Haotian Sect, and Ah Yin continued traveling with Tang Hao, honing their skills across the continent.
Just like in her past life, when Tang Hao reached level 88, Ah Yin found out she was pregnant.
Over the next year, Ah Yin often rubbed her belly, lost in thought. This was the only thing that kept her going in this world.
"Ah Yin, this child will become our pride."
Tang Hao stepped forward, hugging Ah Yin and whispering in her ear.
Ah Yin looked at him with a complex expression.
"Do you really think so?"
In her previous life, even after her sacrifice, she had used the seed to recover consciousness many times. She had often communicated with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass to observe the lives of Tang Hao and his son.
Her son, though not living a life worse than a dog, was as lonely as an orphan. She truly wanted to rip out Tang Hao's heart to see if it was black.
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's eyes flickered. He wasn't sure if Ah Yin had discovered his plans, but it had reached a point where he couldn't back out. He had already sent people to spread information about the 100,000-year soul beast in Heaven Dou City.
At this point, he didn't know whether it would be people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who would come, but his elder brother was already well-prepared to support him.
What he didn't expect was that the first to arrive would be people from the Spirit Hall.
After ten months of pregnancy, the day of labor finally arrived. After a piercing pain, Ah Yin finally met her child again.
Outside the house, as expected, several powerful presences appeared. Ah Yin knew that her life was coming to an end.
She didn't know if she would meet her benefactor again in this life, someone who could help her regain her strength and reunite her with her son. That had been the only motivation keeping her alive, like a walking corpse, over the years.
In her thoughts, a heavy voice rang out from outside the house.
"Tang Hao, hand over the transformed soul beast, and I may spare you and your son."
Tang Hao placed his son beside Ah Yin, glanced at him lovingly, then resolutely summoned the Haotian Hammer and stepped out of the house.
Ah Yin sighed, then followed with Tang San.
"Qian Xun Ji, kill or maim as you wish, but if you want me to hand over my wife, that's impossible!"
Tang Hao glared at Qian Xun Ji with a grim expression. The appearance of the Pope of Spirit Hall had caught him off guard, but with the situation dire, he had no choice but to act. He thought of his elder brother and the family elders not far away, which eased his mind slightly.
Then, he swung the big hammer at the Pope. The laughter from the four Title Douluos behind Qian Xun Ji rang out.
"You, a mere Soul Douluo, dare to compete with the bright moon?"
After a brief struggle, Tang Hao was beaten and sent flying, landing in front of Ah Yin, his face bruised and battered.
"Ah Yin, it's my fault. If I were stronger, I..."
"No need to say more, Tang Hao. Didn't you stage all of this for my soul ring?"
Tang Hao froze, looking at Ah Yin in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe she would view him like this.
"Ah Yin, how could you..."
"No need to say anything more. I will give you the soul ring. If you have a conscience, treat Little Three better. That way, you might redeem the little guilt in your heart."
Tang Hao's expression froze, and his eyes turned cold. He couldn't understand how this foolish woman had figured him out. Since she had realized it, why didn't she resist?
Ah Yin stared at him coldly, then her expression softened as she glanced at her son in the cradle with deep affection.
"Little Three, wait for your mother for many years. I will come to find you when the time comes."
With that, a crimson light burst forth, causing the faces of the Spirit Hall members before her to change.
"Not good, stop her quickly!"
But by the time they reacted, it was too late. The sacrifice of the Blue Silver Emperor had already begun. Tang Hao felt the shackles of a Title Douluo slowly fading from his body, and a mixture of emotions filled his heart.
Ah Yin glared at Tang Hao, gritting her teeth, and said:
"Remember, treat Little Three well. No matter what, he is your son. Otherwise, I will never forgive you, even if I become a ghost."
After saying that, she ignored Tang Hao's reaction and, before her consciousness faded, took one last lingering look at her son.
But this last look made her soul freeze in horror. What did she see? An ugly soul was hovering over her son's body.
"Hehehehe, this body's talent seems pretty good, and it seems to be called Tang San? The heavens haven't forsaken my Tang Sect's genius. This body is mine now, but it's a pity I have to start my cultivation from scratch again."
With that, the ugly soul reached out towards her son.
"No, no!!"
Ah Yin's eyes widened as she watched in horror, but she couldn't stop it. Her soul was quickly falling into sleep.
The ugly soul pulled her son's soul out of his body, flung it away, and then laughed as it entered her son's body.
Her son's eyes opened, filled with a purple hue, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
Ah Yin stared at her son's soul, which was crying in the distance, and her heart felt like it was being torn apart.
As the people from the Spirit Hall attacked the red light in the sky, the shockwaves sent her son's fragile soul scattering, and within seconds, it disappeared into the sky.
"No!!!!!!"
Ah Yin's soul cried tears of blood, staring at the father and son before her, her hatred beyond words.
