Chapter 684 Father and Son Conspire to Reclaim the Soul Bone
"Father, please speak."
Upon hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang San immediately straightened his posture and assumed a serious, obedient stance.
Tang Hao immediately turned his head and gave him a meaningful look:
"I've already told you about this before."
"Huh?" Tang San was slightly taken aback, but the clever boy quickly remembered that his father had stopped the Shrek Seven Devils from forfeiting in tomorrow's competition not long ago.
"Father, is what you're talking about related to the Shrek Seven Devils' match against the Spirit Hall's second team tomorrow?"
After a moment's thought, Tang San immediately asked the question, though his face inevitably showed some uncertainty and incomprehension.
But Tang Hao's next words quickly proved that his guess was correct.
"good."
Tang Hao nodded slightly and said affirmatively:
"In the match between the Shrek Seven Devils and the Spirit Hall's Second Team, you cannot give up and admit defeat. In fact, I hope you can go all out and force your opponents to reveal their true strength."
"Huh? Why is that?"
Tang San looked surprised and asked the same question as Yu Xiaogang.
"Because this is very important, it concerns your mother."
Tang Hao's expression suddenly became extremely serious, so serious that Tang San was surprised and frightened. He had never seen his father so serious and terrifying.
"Is it related to your mother?"
Upon hearing Tang Hao mention his mother, Tang San's heart trembled violently, but his indifference only deepened.
"How did the match between the Shrek Seven Devils and the Spirit Hall's Second Team get involved with Mother?"
This time, Tang Hao did not answer immediately, but instead changed the subject to Tang San's mother, Ah Yin.
He reached out and gently stroked the blue silver grass before him, his face softening again, and his eyes revealing a deep sense of reminiscence:
"Do you know about this mistress?"
"Your mother was not only gentle and kind, but also unparalleled in beauty. Most importantly, she exuded a refreshing aura like that of an elf."
"She was so pure, as pure as a fairy without any impurities."
"Even though I had been cultivating diligently for decades, I was already thirty-five years old at that time. When I first saw her, I couldn't help but be attracted to her, and my whole heart was completely captured by her."
"She was so perfect, a gem of heaven and earth, as if she were the center of the world, breathtakingly beautiful."
At this point, Tang Hao paused, looking at the Blue Silver Emperor before him, his heart seemingly trembling slightly:
"Such a perfect person should have been favored by heaven and earth and cherished by the world. But unfortunately, her identity is too sensitive. A 100,000-year-old soul beast transformed into a human is not accepted by the world."
"Once discovered, there's basically no chance of survival."
"Your mother sacrificed herself to me when she had no other choice, leaving behind only a seed, a piece of her soul bone, and you, who were still in her swaddling clothes."
Tang San listened quietly from the side.
Seeds? Upon hearing his father mention the seeds his mother had left behind, he immediately realized something and instinctively looked down at the Blue Silver Grass that his father was gently stroking.
He thought to himself, "This blue silver grass must have grown from the seeds my mother left behind."
"It seems you already guessed it."
Noticing Tang San's actions, Tang Hao managed a weak smile:
"That's right, the Blue Silver Grass in front of you is the result of the seed left by your mother. That's why I made you kneel down to it, because it is your mother."
Tang San didn't listen carefully to what was said after that. His breathing suddenly became rapid, his expression excited, and his eyes burning as he looked at Tang Hao, eagerly asking:
"Father, does this mean Mother still has a chance to be resurrected?"
However, Tang Hao paused for a moment, then gently shook his head and said:
"I don't know. I've never heard of anyone being able to come back to life, not even a soul beast."
Upon hearing this, Tang San seemed to have been doused with cold water, and instantly wilted:
"Is there really no other way?"
At this moment, Tang Hao suddenly said:
"Perhaps your mother's ethnic group has a solution."
"Your mother was born into the Blue Silver Clan, a type of plant-based spirit beast. This clan is quite special, naturally possessing strong vitality. The fact that your mother was able to leave behind seeds after her sacrifice is likely related to this characteristic."
"Perhaps their tribe possesses some secret technique that could bring your mother back to life."
Upon hearing this, Tang San immediately became excited again:
"Then Father, let's go directly to the Blue Silver Clan and ask them to help revive Mother."
However, Tang Hao shook his head, delivering another heavy blow to Tang San: "You're thinking too simply."
"The royal family of the Blue Silver Clan is rather xenophobic, unlike your mother who is gentle and tolerant. Without their approval, it is impossible to enter their territory, let alone get anything or any benefit from them."
"With your current strength, it's impossible for you to gain their approval. Not to mention you, even I, as your mother's husband, am not qualified to set foot in their territory."
"Let's talk about it when your strength reaches level 50 or above Soul King and you can activate the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline in your body."
"These are all things to consider later; the most important thing now is something else."
As he was speaking, Tang Hao's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
In an instant, an extremely cold aura suddenly burst forth.
This aura didn't seem to have any explosive power, but it gave people a suffocating feeling, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Cold, sinister, evil, and terrifying, an immense killing intent so powerful it made one tremble rushed towards them like a ferocious beast.
Tang San clearly felt that everything about him seemed to become dulled by this immense killing intent, and he didn't even dare to look Tang Hao in the eye.
Amidst this chilling, abyssal killing intent, every hair on Tang San's body stood on end.
But soon, the chilling killing intent receded like a tide, and Tang Hao's voice snapped him out of his shock:
"Next, we need to retrieve your mother's belongings."
The drowning sensation vanished, and Tang San immediately regained his senses, his eyes widening slightly:
"Mother's belongings?"
Tang Hao looked at him with some displeasure:
"Didn't I just say that besides leaving behind a seed, your mother also left behind a soul bone, a 100,000-year-old soul bone?"
"A 100,000-year-old soul bone." Before Tang Hao could finish speaking, Tang San's eyes widened in surprise. It turned out that his mother had left him a soul bone, and it was a 100,000-year-old soul bone.
In an instant, a strong desire appeared in Tang San's eyes.
That's a 100,000-year-old soul bone! It's something every soul master dreams of, and even Tang San, a visitor from another world, couldn't help but reveal his greed.
Tang Hao noticed Tang San's sudden change in expression, but he didn't say anything about it.
He knew better than anyone how precious a 100,000-year-old soul bone was.
After hearing about the 100,000-year-old soul bone, Tang San's eyes showed greed, but he did not lose his mind.
Someone who can maintain a certain level of composure like him is already quite good; there's nothing to criticize.
However, Tang Hao still glared at him irritably:
"Your mother was a 100,000-year-old soul beast who transformed into a human, so the soul bones she left behind are naturally at the 100,000-year level."
Tang San gave an awkward smile, but the longing in his eyes did not diminish at all; on the contrary, it became even more intense and expectant.
Tang Hao seemed oblivious to Tang San's gaze and continued speaking to himself:
"That soul bone was a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone. It was originally intended for you to absorb, but due to some events, it has now been lost."
When the topic of the lost soul bone came up, a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashed across Tang Hao's eyes.
He had originally hidden the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone in a cave deep in the mountains behind Holy Soul Village.
He also planted Ah Yin's seeds in it.
That cave was carefully selected and specially carved out by him. It was hidden behind a waterfall that flows year-round, making it extremely secluded. Moreover, he had specially set up a soul power restriction, which could not be broken by anyone other than a Title Douluo-level expert.
He originally thought everything was foolproof, but who knew that someone could actually discover such a hidden waterfall cave? It was simply unbelievable.
Not only was the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor stolen, but "Ah Yin" also suffered as a result. After being pulled out, it was trampled on and discarded on the ground.
If he hadn't gotten back quickly, "Ah Yin" would probably be dead by now.
All I can say is that he was careless.
They failed to protect Ah Yin and her belongings.
Tang Hao was naturally too embarrassed to tell Tang San these things, but that didn't stop Tang San from looking shocked.
"What? The remains of Mother's soul are lost?"
Upon hearing Tang Hao say that the 100,000-year-old soul bone was gone, Tang San jumped up almost instantly, panicking.
"Cough cough—".
Tang Hao quickly coughed twice and told a few more lies to appease Tang San, whose mentality was already on the verge of exploding:
"Mistress, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."
"Although the soul bone was lost, Father did not do nothing. After years of continuous searching, his efforts have finally paid off, and we have found some clues."
"I also know who stole your mother's belongings back then, and I can even pinpoint the whereabouts of that soul bone."
Hearing his father say this, Tang San's excitement instantly reignited, and he eagerly asked:
"What? The whereabouts of the soul bone have been found again? Where is it?"
Tang Hao suppressed his embarrassment, but instead of saying it directly, he said something suggestive:
What do you think?
Tang San paused for a moment, then quickly fell into thought. After a while, he seemed to have made a connection to something and suddenly looked up:
"Could it be that Mother's soul remains are with that team from the Spirit Hall?"
Although Tang San has some character flaws, he is, after all, an intelligent person.
Based on what his father had said from the past to the present, he quickly guessed that the soul bone left behind by his mother, Ah Yin, was most likely in the possession of a member of the Spirit Hall's second team.
"You're really smart, mistress. You haven't disappointed me."
Tang Hao looked at Tang San and nodded in satisfaction:
"Just as you suspected, the soul bone left behind by your mother should be on one of the members of the Spirit Hall team."
"who's that person?"
Tang San asked anxiously, while his mind began to flash through the information of the seven members of the Spirit Hall's second team, trying to find the girl his father had mentioned.
Tang Hao smiled slightly and said:
"Do you remember that very special girl in the Spirit Hall team?"
"She wore a long silver-blue dress, her hair was a striking contrast of black and white, and she possessed a noble and elegant demeanor. A faint, refreshing scent of plants always lingered around her, making her seem like a goddess from another world."
"Is it her?"
The seven girls of the second team of Martial Soul were all stunningly beautiful and each had their own unique characteristics. However, as Tang Hao described them, Tang San quickly focused his attention on one of them.
That's Night Blue.
Tang San still remembered that on the day of the opening ceremony of the Elite Soul Master Competition, he had carefully observed that girl from afar.
Because she gave him a sense of familiarity and warmth, as if there was a blood connection between them, he glanced at her a few more times.
In addition, there seemed to be a very peculiar aura emanating from the other party, which even triggered his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, causing a faint resonance.
In retrospect, the unusual activity of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul at that time was not without reason.
That must be the bloodline resonance between his own Blue Silver Grass martial soul and the soul bone left behind by his mother.
After all, they share the same bloodline and belong to the same lineage, so it is normal for them to have some connection with each other.
In a short moment, Tang San thought of many things, but he still couldn't help but frown and ask with slight hesitation:
"Father, are you sure? Could there be a mistake?"
Faced with Tang San's question, which carried a hint of doubt, Tang Hao gave an almost certain answer:
"No mistake, there's at least a 90% chance it's on her."
"I've been following her for a long time. I've been observing her ever since the first day of the preliminary rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
At this point, a hint of reminiscence flashed in Tang Hao's eyes, and he said with a complex expression:
"You may not know this, but that girl actually looks almost exactly like your mother when she was young, except for the difference in hair color."
"Whether it's appearance, figure, posture, or temperament and personality, they are all just like your mother."
Is this even possible? That girl named Ye Lan looks just like my mother? Was my mother really that beautiful?
Tang San was completely stunned, and inexplicably happy, but soon felt somewhat confused.
On the other hand, since my mother is so beautiful and outstanding, how did she fall for my father, this slovenly old man?
Tang Hao, unaware that his son was internally criticizing him, continued speaking:
"Your mother has passed away, and the seed she left behind has been planted in front of us, but the Spirit Hall has produced a girl who looks exactly like your mother."
"What does this mean? It means that the girl is definitely connected to your mother, and in this world, the only things that can connect her to your mother are her bloodline and the remains of her soul."
"What the other party inherited obviously could not be Ah Yin's bloodline. Therefore, the only possibility is Ah Yin's 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone."
Finally, Tang Hao looked intently at Tang San:
"Therefore, I need you to force your opponent to reveal their full strength in tomorrow's match and verify my guess."
"If we confirm that the soul bone is indeed on her, then my son and I will find a way to retrieve it."
