Chapter 305: Evidence and Witnesses Both Present; Tang Hao Cannot Wash Away the Stigma Even in the Yellow River

"Big Brother?" Tang Hao was stunned. He thought of Tang Xiao, and a wave of emotion suddenly surged in his heart.

Back then, because of his own affairs, the Clear Sky Sect had been dragged into such a miserable state, and even his father had lost his life because of it. He never expected that his big brother would still let go of past grievances and be willing to help him like this.

Tang Hao immediately conjured up a grand drama in his mind.

It must be that he had entrusted Tang Yuehua to keep an eye out for a soul bone, and Tang Yuehua had gone to find Tang Xiao. After all, Tang Xiao was the master of the Clear Sky Sect; even in seclusion, he was still monitoring intelligence from the continent, waiting for the moment to lead the Clear Sky Sect back into the world.

His big brother had obtained intelligence on a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, and upon learning that he needed it, had traveled through dust and wind to help him hunt it, then had Yuehua bring the soul bone to him.

"Big Brother, thank you!" Even a tough man like Tang Hao was somewhat teary-eyed at this moment. How could he not be moved by such a brother and sister who valued relationships and righteousness so deeply?

In truth, this was Zhou Yu's purpose in deliberately mentioning Tang Hao's big brother, Tang Xiao. There were many things that, if told to him directly, he would not believe, but things he imagined himself, he would always believe firmly.

"Clear Sky Crown has already received the item. I must return to report to the Pavilion Master. Farewell." Having finished his task, Zhou Yu prepared to leave.

Tang Hao nodded. "Thank you for your trouble."

He was in a good mood today. Even when facing a servant or an ant, as a Title Douluo, he was willing to express some gratitude. After all, he had obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and it happened to be a Left Arm Bone that Tang San lacked. In this way, the problem of A Yin's soul bone being stolen could be resolved all at once.

It was just a pity that Tang San was already in the Slaughter City; he would have to wait for him to come out to absorb it, or perhaps send it over in these next two days.

In any case, as a Slaughter God of the Slaughter City, he could go there at any time.

However, he would not have that opportunity. Zhou Yu had come at a deliberately calculated time; at this moment, the Azure Ox Python was already at the foot of the mountain, crawling toward him at extreme speed.

Standing atop the ox head of the Azure Ox Python was a beautiful young girl—it was Xiao Wu.

In truth, the Azure Ox Python had not wanted Xiao Wu to come, but this matter concerned not only his younger brother but also the father of her beloved. How could she not come? She had to ask Tang Hao for the truth, word for word.

"Hmm, what's going on tonight? So lively?" Tang Hao had only just sat back down to rest for less than half an hour when he sensed a powerful aura approaching.

It made no attempt to hide its tracks; it was clearly coming straight for him.

After all, in such a desolate place, a strange powerhouse suddenly appearing—could it be here for a vacation, other than for him, the Clear Sky Douluo?

In the dark night, a massive creature about forty meters long suddenly appeared.

Under the moonlight, Tang Hao could clearly see the ox-headed, snake-bodied creature. The ox head was at least four meters in diameter, with eyes as large as two lanterns glowing brightly, connected to a massive snake body that was several times thicker than a water vat and dark blue in color.

Such an appearance made Tang Hao unable to help but be shocked again. "Azure Ox Python? How could this thing appear here?"

As the Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, although the Azure Ox Python was mysterious, he still knew a thing or two about it.

"Tang Hao, I've finally found you!" The Azure Ox Python's two giant eyes stared fiercely at Tang Hao below, its tone filled with hatred.

After all, at this moment, all the human witnesses and physical evidence pointed to Tang Hao as the murderer.

"Uncle Tang, long time no see." Xiao Wu also looked at Tang Hao with a complex gaze. She did not know how to speak at this moment; she wanted to know the truth, yet she feared obtaining it.

If it were truly Tang Hao who killed the Titan Giant Ape, how could she still be with her Third Brother?

"Hmm, Xiao Wu?" Tang Hao only then noticed Xiao Wu on the head of the Azure Ox Python. Compared to the mighty and majestic King of the Forest, this transformed little rabbit was truly too inconspicuous.

"Xiao Wu, how did you and the Azure Ox Python find this place, and what do you want with me?" Tang Hao asked suspiciously.

"Hmph, human, don't play dumb. I ask you, was my second brother, the Titan Giant Ape, killed by you?" the Azure Ox Python demanded.

"The Titan Giant Ape was killed? And by me?" Tang Hao was bewildered. What was all this? He hadn't even met the Titan Giant Ape; how could he have killed it?

"Tang Hao, stop pretending! Someone witnessed it with their own eyes—the person who killed my second brother used the Clear Sky Hammer as their martial soul. Who else could it be but you?" Tang Hao's feigned ignorance only enraged the Azure Ox Python further; it was acted out as if it were real.

With this expression of confusion and helplessness, someone who didn't know better would really think Tang Hao was innocent.

Although in fact, he was indeed innocent, the Azure Ox Python had basically already concluded that Tang Hao was the murderer.

"Clear Sky Hammer? Impossible... could it be that this soul bone is...?" Tang Hao thought of something and subconsciously took out the soul bone Zhou Yu had just given him.

He had only focused on the age of this soul bone earlier and hadn't paid attention to its type. Looking closely, it did indeed seem to be the left arm bone of an ape-type soul beast, didn't it?

Could it be that the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast his big brother killed was the Titan Giant Ape?

"This is... Er Ming's!!!" Seeing the soul bone in Tang Hao's hand, Xiao Wu was shocked. Having spent tens of thousands of years together with the Titan Giant Ape, how could she misidentify her brother's aura?

Without a doubt, what Tang Hao held was Er Ming's soul bone.

Now it was confirmed; with both human witnesses and physical evidence present, it was Tang Hao who had killed Er Ming.

"Tang Hao, it really was you! You bastard, if I don't kill you today, I won't be able to console my second brother's spirit in heaven!" The Azure Ox Python's killing intent surged, thunder roiled over its entire body, and soul power gathered; it looked as if it were about to strike.

"Why, Uncle Tang, why did you do this? Didn't you tell me that you and Third Brother would only kill Evil soul beasts from now on? Is Er Ming an Evil soul beast? Do you know that he is my brother, my brother of tens of thousands of years!!" Xiao Wu asked, crying.

Tang Hao did not know how to defend himself. Although he hadn't killed the Titan Giant Ape, he assumed Tang Xiao had, and the difference between that and him killing it wasn't much.

Should he tell the truth and let the Azure Ox Python go seek revenge on the Clear Sky Sect?

Tang Hao, a man who treated the sect like his first love even though it had abused him a thousand times, could not do such a thing.

The two sides were actually arguing at cross-purposes because neither side had mentioned a very important point: time.

If the Azure Ox Python had said its second brother died years ago, Tang Hao might have guessed that someone was framing him.

It was just a pity that his mind was completely in chaos now.

His big brother had killed his son's brother-in-law, then dug out the soul bone and sent it to him, intending for his son to absorb it.

What kind of family tragedy was this, and how could it happen to him?

He now desperately hoped someone could give him an idea and tell him how to resolve this matter. Waiting online, it's quite urgent.
