Chapter 304: Tang Hao's Shock
For Nan Feihuang, the events occurring over in the Heaven Dou Empire were merely trivial matters; at this moment, he had already arrived with Old Poison at a small town not far from the mountain range where Tang Hao was located.
Lan Xue had also arrived; after absorbing two ice-attribute soul bones in succession, the medicinal power within her body and the icy energy of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring had been further developed.
By using quantitative change to forcibly induce qualitative change, she finally succeeded in breaking through to level ninety-six.
In fact, she could easily solo Tang Hao by herself now; there was no need at all to wait for the Titan Giant Ape to kill each other with him before picking up the scraps, nor was there any need for Dugu Bo's assistance.
However, firstly, Nan Feihuang needed the Titan Giant Ape's Sacrifice, and secondly, he wanted Tang Hao to taste what it was like to be killed by a borrowed knife—an eye for an eye—so he told them not to strike at the beginning and to act as spectators first.
Nevertheless, since Nan Feihuang had mobilized such a lineup, he would absolutely not let Tang Hao escape again.
The Titan Giant Ape's pace of travel was not fast; it only moved through forests and mountains every night, as this was one of the rare times it had left the Star Dou Great Forest to come to the outside world.
Moreover, its size was too massive; once it wandered outside in broad daylight, it was very easy to be noticed, and once the intelligence spread, it could very likely attract high-level Spirit Masters from the entire continent.
A Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring or soul bone was, to anyone, an invaluable treasure.
But this was also fine, as it gave Feihuang more preparation time.
In the mountains, Tang Hao sat before a large waterfall with a stalk of Blue Silver Grass planted beside him, muttering to himself, "A Yin, our child has already embarked on the journey to become stronger. Once he emerges from Slaughter City, he will possess the heart of a true powerhouse."
This stalk of Blue Silver Grass was none other than A Yin; because Tang San currently had no idea where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was, Tang Hao had transplanted her to this mountain in order to teach Tang San cultivation while also taking care of A Yin.
Even after Tang San finished his training, Tang Hao did not leave; in any case, it was all the same to him wherever he was.
With the help of the multiple soul bones he had scraped together, although Tang San's constitution was inferior to the original, it was still significantly stronger than that of an average Spirit Master; relying on the power of the soul bones, he had finally completed the training of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique two months ago.
As for Slaughter City, Tang San and Nan Feihuang were basically one after the other, with one just entering as the other was just leaving.
Once Tang San emerged from Slaughter City, Tang Hao would take him back to the Clear Sky Sect to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan; as long as he became a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect again, he would be qualified to learn the Clear Sky Sect's true supreme arts, the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes.
A Yin's leaves swayed with the wind, seemingly still worried, for the place Tang San was going to was truly a dangerous land.
Although she had lost her cultivation, with the life force of the Blue Silver Emperor which far exceeded other Spirit Beasts, her consciousness had not dissipated.
If one day she could regain her ten-thousand-year cultivation, she would be able to resurrect and be reborn.
"Don't worry, Xiao San is the son of you and me. Looking across the world, he is also the most... er, he is the most outstanding, aside from that freak Nan Feihuang from that female lunatic Lan Xue's family." Tang Hao stopped halfway, still embarrassed to admit Tang San's title as the world's number one genius.
From the current perspective, Nan Feihuang's aptitude was indeed above Tang San's.
Twin Spirits were certainly powerful, but they could only guarantee a lower limit and could not define an upper limit; dual spirits did not necessarily mean one could defeat a single spirit. With Nan Feihuang's actual combat ability, even if Tang San successfully mastered the Clear Sky Hammer in the future, he might not necessarily be able to defeat him one hundred percent.
A Yin shook with dissatisfaction; how could he speak like that? Such a dense man. It should be that, setting facts aside, no matter how formidable Nan Feihuang was, their own son was definitely the most outstanding.
Tang Hao gave a sheepish laugh; although A Yin could not speak, he could roughly understand her meaning. "Alright... alright... everything you say is right. Hmm? Who is it!!"
Just as he finished speaking, Tang Hao suddenly heard what sounded like footsteps in the jungle behind him.
The other party did not hide their figure, or rather, hiding was useless; in front of a Super Douluo like him, who could easily conceal themselves?
"Greetings, Clear Sky Crown." Zhou Yu walked out from the woods and bowed to Tang Hao.
"It's you!" Tang Hao recognized this person; he had seen him over a year ago when he went to find Tang Yuehua at her Yuexuan, as he was his younger sister's subordinate.
At that time, he had just entered Yuexuan, and because his clothes were tattered, he was almost driven away by the Yuexuan guards; it was this person who brought him inside to find Tang Yuehua.
Tang Yuehua had been unable to restrain herself for a moment and lost her usual composure, throwing herself into his arms; this person had been right there at the time, so he was also one of the few who knew about his relationship with Tang Yuehua.
However, he had not informed Tang Yuehua of his location back then, so how could this person have found him here?
"Crown, I have been searching for you for a long time." Zhou Yu appeared travel-worn, looking as if there was indeed a very urgent matter.
"How did you find this place? And what business do you have seeking me?" Tang Hao asked, on guard.
If he hadn't known this person was his sister's man, he would have already brought out his hammer.
"I am, of course, acting under the orders of the Pavilion Master to find you. She has two items she asked me to deliver to you. As for how I found you, it was also the Pavilion Master who analyzed your whereabouts." Zhou Yu repeated the analysis that Xun Yu had originally told Nan Feihuang, and Nan Feihuang had then told Lan Xue.
He simply attributed all the credit to Tang Yuehua.
After listening, Tang Hao was both gratified and shocked. "I truly did not expect that Yuehua's wisdom had grown to such a degree. By judging my next target and analyzing my cultivation plan for Xiao San, she deduced my location. With her assisting my elder brother in the Clear Sky Sect in the future, it is truly reassuring."
"Very well, since it was Yuehua who sent you to find me, just speak your mind."
Tang Hao temporarily lowered his guard, mainly because he could see that Zhou Yu's strength was at most at the level of a Soul Elder or Soul Ancestor; to him, such strength was not much different from an ant.
Since the other party had a reasonable explanation, why would he need to be on guard against such a character?
"Yes, Clear Sky Crown. These two are the items the Pavilion Master asked me to give to you." Zhou Yu took the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and the Ice Continuation Pill from his bosom.
Tang Hao felt nothing toward the Ice Continuation Pill, but upon seeing the soul bone, his eyes widened instantly; with a flash of his figure, he arrived before Zhou Yu and snatched the soul bone from his hand, almost by force.
"This... the quality of this soul bone is a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!" After all, as someone who had possessed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Tang Hao's discernment was far superior to others, and he saw the extraordinariness of this soul bone at a glance.
"Yuehua, how did she obtain such a treasure?" Tang Hao asked, puzzled. He had struggled through life and death, slaughtering Spirit Beasts and sweeping through wolf bandits at the border, only to obtain three soul bones of a few tens of thousands of years.
He had not expected Tang Yuehua's hand to be so generous, directly bringing out a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Zhou Yu shook his head. "This, I do not know. The Pavilion Master only told me to inform you that this soul bone was something she and her elder brother had great difficulty finding for you, and it is meant as a gift for Young Master Xiao San. Also, this Ice Continuation Pill is beneficial for treating your injuries."
