At this moment, Tang Hao had no more doubts.
The man before her, this Blue Silver King Tang Qing, was definitely her son!
Aside from his child with Ah Yin, there is no other person in the world who could possess such a pure, even more domineering, Blue Silver Emperor!
...
at the same time.
Deep within the continuous mountain range of the four major sects lies a secluded back mountain.
A waterfall, like a white ribbon, plunges down from the cliff and crashes into the deep pool below, creating countless splashes and a deafening roar.
Behind the waterfall, hidden by the curtain of water, lies a deep, dark cave.
Water Curtain Cave.
The cave was dark and damp, with cold rocks on all four sides covered with slippery moss, and the air was filled with a lingering earthy and rotten smell.
Most of the area here is hard stone, except for a small patch of muddy ground less than a meter square in the very center of the cave.
On the land, a solitary blue silver grass grows.
However, the appearance of this Blue Silver Grass was truly pitiful.
Its leaves were withered, yellow, and curled, covered with sickly spots, and looked lifeless.
The entire plant looked so dull and lifeless, as if a gust of wind could blow it away and turn it into dust.
It lacks any of the lush greenery and vitality that a healthy plant should have.
At the top of the cave, there is a small, round opening, which is the only channel through which sunlight can shine in.
At that moment, a ray of golden sunlight pierced through the hole and shone precisely on the dying Blue Silver Grass.
Bathed in this long-awaited warmth, the withered yellow grass blades swayed gently.
A weak yet slightly intoxicated thought slowly awakened in the cave.
"Sunlight..."
"I can finally... enjoy the sunshine again."
This thought was none other than the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, who sacrificed himself to become the seed of life.
"The location of this cave is really terrible. In the past month, I have been exposed to sunlight for less than six hours in total!"
"..."
Her thoughts were filled with bitterness and helplessness.
"This has also caused my origin to become weaker and weaker, and the time I spend in slumber is getting longer and longer... If this continues, I'm afraid I will perish completely."
Resentment welled up uncontrollably.
"I asked Brother Hao to take me to a place full of life and sunshine more than once, but he… he always had all sorts of excuses."
"They either said they were too busy with cultivation to pay attention, or they said the outside world was too dangerous and they were afraid my whereabouts would be exposed and attract the Spirit Hall's pursuit... Every word they said sounded like they were doing it for my own good."
"But, Brother Hao..."
Ah Yin's blades of grass trembled violently, as if they were crying silently.
"For you, for our child, I sacrificed ten thousand years of my cultivation and my life! But you... you can't even fulfill this small request of mine!"
"I can only eke out a living alone in this dark, damp cave!"
"Do you know what? I have endured 100,000 years of loneliness, I really... can't bear this torment any longer! Living like this, every single second is torture for me!"
"..."
Painful memories flooded back, nearly driving Ah Yin to the brink of collapse.
"I didn't even... I didn't even get to see my first child's face before you... you abandoned him with your own hands!"
"Right now, on the battlefield, that aura... my son may not be dead!"
He's back! But what about you? You actually want to kill him!
"That's my son too!"
"You keep saying you're doing this for my own good, but have you ever actually listened to my opinion even once?"
"..."
A glistening dewdrop slid from the tip of a withered blade of grass and dripped into the soil beneath it.
Those were Ah Yin's tears.
"My son! It's your mother's fault...it's your mother who has wronged you!"
"If there is an afterlife, Mother will never be so cowardly again..."
Grief and despair nearly consumed her consciousness.
She began to doubt, and began to waver.
"Tang Hao... what you said to me back then, was it really because you loved me, or... did you have ulterior motives and were you just deceiving me?"
Just then!
A vast, majestic, and supreme aura of the Blue Silver Emperor descended without warning, as if transcending the barriers of time and space!
This aura was pure to the extreme, and domineering to the extreme!
More importantly, that aura contained a bloodline resonance that made her soul tremble!
Buzz!
The withered blue silver grass suddenly trembled, as if it had been injected with an infinite power, and its originally droopy leaves instantly unfolded!
Ah Yin's thoughts were abruptly pulled from the abyss of sorrow, transforming into pure shock.
"This...this is..."
She frantically tried to sense the source of that aura.
That aura was so familiar, yet so powerful!
That is the continuation of her bloodline, the miracle of her life!
"It's the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor!"
"He's my son! He's my child!"
"My son...he's not dead! He's still alive!"
A wave of ecstasy instantly overwhelmed all sorrow and pain.
Ah Yin's mind let out a silent cheer, and the entire Blue Silver Grass was enveloped in a faint, joyful blue-gold halo.
...
Outside Tiandou City, in front of the mountain gates of the four major sects.
The carnage on the battlefield has reached a fever pitch.
The immortal Blue Silver Soldiers formed a highly efficient meat grinder, frantically reaping the lives of disciples from the four major sects.
The hidden weapons that the Tang Clan was so proud of became a complete joke in the face of these unkillable monsters.
Tang Qing sat high on his horse, watching everything before him with an indifferent expression, like a detached spectator.
However, in the next moment, his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
His gaze passed over the chaotic battlefield, past Tang Hao and Tang San, and landed on the continuous mountain range behind the four major sects.
Just now, he sensed a faint yet incredibly familiar presence.
An aura connected to him by blood, sharing the same origin.
That aura contained endless sorrow, despair, and pain.
Tang Qing's heart clenched suddenly.
It was a stinging pain that came from the depths of one's blood.
"This is... the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor."
His voice was low and deep, with a slight tremor that he himself was unaware of.
"It's my mother!"
"My mother...is crying!"
boom!
A murderous aura, far more terrifying than the killing intent on the battlefield, surged into the sky from Tang Qing's body!
His usually calm eyes turned completely black at this moment, burning with a fury powerful enough to incinerate the heavens!
"Tang Hao!"
Tang Qing silently recited the name in her heart, each word as if she were chewing it up with her teeth.
"Scum!"
