The Wronged Spirit Beast, The Foolish Tang Brothers!

The Aggrieved Soul Beasts, the Foolish Tang Brothers!

Tang Hao took Tang Xiao's words to heart.

Then, with a duang, those words bounced right back out.

It was the same as not hearing them at all.

Why bother using his brain? It was better to just smash things with a hammer.

Simple, fast, and effective.

With one hammer blow, who would dare refuse to submit? Back then, hadn't Grandpa built his glorious reputation with a single Clear Sky Hammer?

I, Tang Hao, would be like Grandpa too!!

Of course, that was only what he thought at the time.

Later... heh, later he was beaten into hiding in Holy Soul Village, muddling through his days like a rat in the gutter...

"Then I'll listen to Big Brother."

Tang Hao finally forced out those words.

They had left the sect to make a name for the Clear Sky Sect. Now this had happened, and it was truly irritating and stifling.

"Don't worry, Second Brother. If it really doesn't work out, just go to the Soul Fighting Arena. With your strength, wouldn't you still be able to sweep through everyone?"

Tang Xiao patted Tang Hao's shoulder, finally feeling somewhat relieved. His second brother was simply too fond of battle; no wonder Grandpa had favored him so much.

"Hahaha, Big Brother's right."

Tang Hao laughed heartily. Better to listen to Big Brother after all.

The two spent two days in the Star Dou Great Forest catching a Scent Luring Wolf.

This wolf possessed an exceptionally keen sense of smell. It could clearly distinguish the aura of every soul beast and thus avoid danger while seeking fortune.

Tang Xiao placed the book before the soul beast and forced it to sniff the book's scent.

The Scent Luring Wolf immediately detected several different scents. It howled anxiously, terrified that these two men would kill it.

"Big Brother, it really worked." Tang Hao said excitedly like a fool.

"You... take us to find the owner of this scent!"

Tang Xiao threatened it, a trace of killing intent flashing through his eyes. If this soul beast dared disobey, its fate would be death!

At worst, they could just find another one.

The Scent Luring Wolf whimpered and howled, seemingly agreeing.

The next moment, the Scent Luring Wolf headed in the direction of the Clear Sky Sect...

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao followed the Scent Luring Wolf for some distance before realizing it was heading toward the Clear Sky Sect. "Beast, not this one. Pick another!"

Tang Xiao slapped it. The Scent Luring Wolf howled pitifully, looking utterly wronged.

"Pick another!"

Tang Xiao said coldly.

Hearing this, the Scent Luring Wolf got back to its feet and continued searching based on the scents it remembered.

The next moment, the Scent Luring Wolf began rubbing itself against a large tree behind Tang Xiao, circling the tree as it howled... (PS: The reason this place was discovered will be explained later. The aura was deliberately leaked!)

The Tang brothers were completely dumbfounded at the sight.

"B-Big Brother, is there something wrong with this wolf?"

"It's barking at a tree... pfft, what's a wolf barking for?!"

Tang Hao scratched his head, unable to figure out why no matter how hard he thought.

Tang Xiao flew into a rage. Could this wolf be an idiot?

"Hmph, let's find another one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xiao struck directly, smashing the hundred-year Scent Luring Wolf to death with a single hammer blow without even using a soul skill.

Before long, Tang Hao caught another Scent Luring Wolf. This one was clearly larger than the last and of a higher cultivation age.

This Scent Luring Wolf was covered in wounds and utterly exhausted, clearly having been severely beaten by Tang Hao.

"Second Brother, why did you injure it like this? What if it dies later?" Tang Xiao said helplessly. His second brother truly had no sense of restraint when he acted.

"It's fine, Big Brother. It can still be used, it can still be used!"

Tang Hao chuckled, not feeling that he had done anything wrong at all.

Tang Xiao sighed helplessly and once again placed the book before it.

This Scent Luring Wolf knew what they wanted it to do. To stay alive, it could only agree.

After sniffing it, it immediately headed toward the Clear Sky Sect, but Tang Xiao stopped it before it had taken two steps.

"Other than that one."

As soon as he spoke, this Scent Luring Wolf once again headed toward the tree where its fellow wolf had been.

The same scene played out again. The Scent Luring Wolf began to roar, "Awoo! Awoo!!"

It seemed to be saying, Right here.

Flames immediately flared in Tang Hao's eyes. Was this Scent Luring Wolf sick or something?!

Before Tang Xiao could say anything, Tang Hao, understanding perfectly, killed it outright.

"Brother Hao, you..."

"Big Brother, I get it. Just like the last one, this one was sick too. We'll just switch to another."

Tang Hao chuckled. This had already happened once—how could he not know what to do?

"What I mean is, since both of them stopped in front of this tree, then there's clearly something wrong with the tree."

As he spoke, Tang Xiao smashed down with his hammer. The tree instantly shattered, yet there was nothing inside.

"Big Brother, that soul beast was obviously just sick."

"Let's get another one!"

Before Tang Xiao could stop him, Tang Hao ran off. Not long afterward, he returned with another one. This time, however, it was perfectly healthy.

Tang Xiao could only repeat what he had done before.

This time, the Scent Luring Wolf did not head toward that tree again. Instead, it went straight to another tree.

As expected, it was hammered to death once more.

"Big Brother!"

"Is this soul beast sick or something? Why does it keep howling at trees?"

Tang Hao was speechless. He felt as though he were being toyed with... and he was starting to get angry.

Tang Xiao was equally perplexed.

The Scent Luring Wolf could find the route to Clear Sky Sect, which meant there was nothing wrong with it. It had gone looking for trees, but there was nothing wrong with the trees either.

There was nothing wrong with the wolf, nothing wrong with the route, and nothing wrong with the trees.

Could there be something wrong with them instead?

This was truly bizarre.

"Brother Hao, I can't figure out why either..."

Tang Xiao thought for a long time, but still could not come up with an answer...

"Forget it, Big Brother. Let's try again."

Tang Hao refused to believe it. One didn't work, two didn't work, three didn't work—could the fourth possibly fail too?

With that thought, they set out once again, and the same scene played out yet again.

"Arghhh!"

"This is infuriating!" Tang Hao had completely run out of patience. After killing the Scent Luring Wolf again, he simply gave up.

"Forget it, Brother Hao. Let's just search for it ourselves. Maybe we'll happen to run into it?"

Tang Xiao was helpless as well and could only abandon this method.

What they did not know was—how could there possibly have been anything wrong with the Scent Luring Wolves?

The Scent Luring Wolves had not smelled wrong.

That book carried the scent of Ninja Soldiers, and the Ninja Soldiers had been following and watching the Tang Xiao brothers. The reason the Scent Luring Wolves had howled wildly at those trees was because Ninja Soldiers were hiding within them.

It was simply that Tang Xiao and Tang Hao did not know this, mistakenly believing that the Scent Luring Wolves were the problem.

Little did they know, the problem was themselves.

It was a pity for the Scent Luring Wolves, though. They had lost their lives for nothing.

The Scent Luring Wolves had only caught the scent of the Ninja Soldiers. They did not know what was inside the trees, which was why they kept howling.

By the time Tang Hao and Tang Xiao made their move, the Ninja Soldiers had long since changed positions. How could they possibly have given them a chance to find them?

Thus, the two had merely knocked down a few ordinary large trees.

After wasting so much effort... they got nothing at all. Instead, they ended up covered in wolf stench... truly speechless.
