Chapter 78: Nuoding City

After saying goodbye to Steward Lin, Zhou Heng climbed over the wall of the Taizi Fu and walked out from a small alley.

He headed toward the location of the Dugu Family.

Dugu Bo had already brought Dugu Yan back from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, specifically for this day.

As soon as Zhou Heng returned, he saw Dugu Bo leading people to help Dugu Yan pack her things.

This time, Zhou Heng was going out on a journey, and he feared it would not be a short one; naturally, Dugu Bo wanted to prepare everything for Dugu Yan so that she could have an easier time traveling across the continent.

Zhou Heng came to Dugu Bo's side, looked at the body that had become robust due to Dugu Bo's soul power breaking through once again, and said with a smile, "Old man, would you like to come along on this journey?"

Dugu Bo turned his head and saw Zhou Heng standing behind him. Recalling what Zhou Heng had said, he nodded repeatedly and replied, "Of course I want to. If I go along, I can also protect you and Yan Yan while we are in the territories of those Title Douluo."

Dugu Bo now placed great importance on Zhou Heng's travels. Previously, when Zhou Heng traveled here, he had helped him break through from the Ninety-first Level, where he had been stuck for over twenty years, to the Ninety-fifth Level within three years.

From the mouths of other Title Douluo, Dugu Bo still knew the cultivation speed of a Title Douluo.

For an ordinary Title Douluo, being able to break through one level in three years would be considered a stroke of great luck.

Yet for himself, in three years, he had broken through to the Ninety-fifth Level, an increase of four levels of soul power.

He had gained enormous benefits, and now that Yan Yan was going on this journey with Zhou Heng, she would certainly be able to gain even more.

Now that he had the opportunity to go along on the journey, he naturally had to go.

Zhou Heng nodded; this situation was within his expectations. "Very well, you can come along with us. I am currently planning to go and subdue my Sixth Soul Ring.

With you there, you can also provide some help."

Zhou Heng's words made Dugu Bo extremely excited, and he hurriedly led people to pack the items needed for the journey.

Dugu Bo's speed in packing was quite fast; in just over ten minutes, Dugu Bo had stored all the necessary items into his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

The three of them did not say a word to the nobles about their departure for training and simply set off in a carriage.

This time, the direction Zhou Heng chose was the south of the Heaven Dou Empire; Zhou Heng planned to go to Nuoding City to search for that Blue Silver Emperor and the existence of the other party's soul bone.

After all, it was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, and it possessed a very precious Ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone; he could not leave this thing to that fellow Tang San.

Calculating the time, he was five years older than Tang San; Tang San should be eight years old now and attending school at Nuoding Academy, and Tang Hao should be observing Tang San's life every day.

If he went to subdue the Ten Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor now, he would basically not run into Tang Hao.

Nuoding City was a small border city under the jurisdiction of Fasinuo Province in the Heaven Dou Empire; it was located in the southwest of the empire, adjacent to the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Balak Kingdom, and mainly served the function of a border trade node.

The city was dominated by a Western architectural style with brick and stone structures; its wall defense facilities were complete, but its Spirit Master strength was weak, with the highest combat power being the city lord at the four-ring Soul Ancestor level.

The Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy within it was the location of the protagonist Tang San's master, Yu Xiaogang.

By now, the eight-year-old Tang San should have already obtained his First Soul Ring, and having taken Yu Xiaogang as his master, he had gained a foothold in the Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy.

At the thought that he would be able to obtain a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast before long, Zhou Heng could not stop himself from smiling.

The carriage carried the three of them as they drove all the way toward Fasinuo Province.

Along the way, the three of them would occasionally encounter robbing Spirit Masters, but in Dugu Bo's hands, these robbers never had the chance to say a second word, all dying under Dugu Bo's toxins.

Days and nights alternated, and more than ten days passed.

On a main road, a wide carriage was galloping; the person driving the carriage was a middle-aged man with emerald green hair.

This person was none other than Dugu Bo. Stimulated by his continuous breakthroughs in cultivation, Dugu Bo's vitality had increased many times, and in the end, he had turned into the appearance of this middle-aged man.

"Xiao Heng, is that Clear Sky Douluo you mentioned really in that small city?"

It was not that Dugu Bo did not believe Zhou Heng, but mainly because that Nuoding City was truly not famous, even though it was said to serve the duty of a border trade node.

However, Nuoding City was indeed not large, not to mention that the city lord inside was only a four-ring Soul Ancestor.

And the Clear Sky Douluo would actually choose to live in seclusion in this small village, Holy Soul Village, near Nuoding City?

"Tang Hao is indeed living in seclusion in Holy Soul Village, but Tang Hao is not living in seclusion; it is more like he had to hide in Holy Soul Village to escape the pursuit of the Spirit Hall.

Back then, Tang Hao fought a great battle against the former Pope Qian Xunji for the sake of the Blue Silver Emperor, and in the end, Qian Xunji was heavily injured and died.

The Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect had many conflicts, and it was almost about to turn into a great war. Tang Hao could not bear this responsibility, and in order to escape responsibility, Tang Hao could only hide in Holy Soul Village after being expelled from the sect by the Clear Sky Sect."

Dugu Bo was incomparably shocked in his heart; so the truth of the matter back then was like this. After he learned about Tang Hao's affairs.

He had once thought that Tang Hao was a hero; now that he thought about it, it was truly disgusting.

"Tang Hao didn't even care about the sect that raised him and hid directly in this place; he really is a coward," Dugu Bo said with disgust.

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Indeed a coward.

Besides, think about it, it's one thing for Tang Hao to be with the Spirit Beast Blue Silver Emperor, but why did he have to stay away from the Clear Sky Sect when he was being hunted by several Title Douluo from our Spirit Hall?"

After hearing what Zhou Heng said, Dugu Bo thought about it carefully and discovered that Tang Hao was indeed staying away from the Clear Sky Sect.

After thinking for a while, Dugu Bo said uncertainly, "Could it be that Tang Hao was trying to protect the Clear Sky Sect so it wouldn't have to go to war directly with the Spirit Hall because of him?"

"Perhaps that is a possibility, but if he wanted to protect the Clear Sky Sect, why not go to the Star Dou Great Forest or other gathering places for Spirit Beasts?

There are many powerful Spirit Beasts there; couldn't the Ten Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor survive among them?

Tang Hao not only stayed away from the Clear Sky Sect with the Blue Silver Emperor but also stayed away from the gathering places of Spirit Beasts, specifically fleeing toward such a remote place where there was no help.

As far as I know, the reason why Qian Xunji was able to successfully find Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor back then was because Qian Xunji and the others sensed the location of the Blue Silver Emperor's aura many times.

In the end, they found Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor.

Tell me, why is that?"

Dugu Bo listened to Zhou Heng's words and followed these pieces of evidence to think further.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. "Could it be for the Blue Silver Emperor's Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring? Didn't the Blue Silver Emperor become a wife to Tang Hao? Tang Hao still wanted the Blue Silver Emperor's soul ring?"

"I don't know either, but looking at Tang Hao's final outcome, he probably did want the Blue Silver Emperor's Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

It's just that Tang Hao probably didn't expect that the Blue Silver Emperor would become pregnant with his child."
