He spoke, then immediately turned and ran toward the classroom.

Chapter 56: Take Them Away

Inside the Spirit Hall Branch, Gui Mei had already returned and placed the two children in his hands on the ground.

One boy and one girl.

"Are these Tang San and Xiao Wu?"

Looking at the two children before him, Huang Wei thought to himself. He had seen the two of them in the anime in his previous life, and these two looked somewhat similar to the ones in it, though not exactly the same.

At least they were not ugly. Their appearances were normal.

"As expected, she is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form!"

Everyone's gazes fell upon the pink-haired girl with rabbit ears, and they immediately cried out in surprise.

They all became excited.

"With the Holy Son's Cultivation Speed, it will not be long before he becomes a Titled Douluo. I plan to keep this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring in Spirit Hall's prison for now and raise her there. Once the Holy Son reaches Titled Douluo, we will kill her."

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a trace of threat and danger, but she said nothing more.

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone looked at Huang Wei. A six-year-old, Level Thirty-Five Soul Elder—this Cultivation Speed was truly heaven-defying.

Perhaps he really could surpass that Tang Hao and become the youngest Titled Douluo on the entire continent.

Golden Crocodile looked at Huang Wei with great satisfaction. This was the person most likely to inherit the position of Pope in Spirit Hall.

Thus, he took the initiative to say, "This old man agrees. This is also the Great Worship's intention."

Although Qian Daoliu had not said so before, once he told him about this matter, Qian Daoliu would certainly praise him for making such a good decision.

Huang Wei glanced at Bibi Dong. In truth, he had wanted to save this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for her, but he seemed to understand what Bibi Dong meant, so he nodded in agreement.

At worst, when the time came, he could use the excuse that it was unsuitable and find another one.

Besides, with his defense by then, the attacks of a mere Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would be nothing to fear.

This rabbit, Xiao Wu, should be left for Bibi Dong to kill. Her mother had already become someone else's First Martial Soul Ring; as her daughter, she should at least become the Soul Ring of Bibi Dong's second martial soul.

Bibi Dong was already a Titled Douluo. Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem with giving her second martial soul nothing but Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

He did not know how many Soul Rings her second martial soul currently possessed, nor how they were configured.

"Hehe, what a windfall—a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring delivered right to our doorstep to die! What a pity, though. We are all full!"

"In that case, lock this transformed Soul Beast in Spirit Hall's prison. Seal her cultivation and turn her into a true ordinary person."

The other Douluos all nodded.

"As for this Tang San..."

They were about to say more.

However, the cautious Huang Wei spoke up. "Elders, Worships, this place is not suitable for a long stay. Hurry and take them back to Spirit Hall. If Tang Hao comes looking for them then, he will have no way to escape!"

Although Spirit City would very likely become the main battlefield then, they could not remain here forever.

"Before leaving, erase all traces of your presence."

"Alright!" With that, everyone swiftly carried Xiao Wu and Tang San and flew toward Spirit City.

If Tang Hao dared come to demand them back, they would join forces without hesitation and destroy him.

They must not forget Yue Guan and Gui Mei's Martial Soul Fusion Skill. It was lethal.

"If it truly is Tang Hao, he will certainly fly into a rage. But for the time being, he will not discover that Spirit Hall was behind this, so there is no need for you to worry."

Bibi Dong looked at the worried Su Yuntao and the others and spoke slowly.

"We understand, Your Eminence the Pope!" Su Yuntao immediately cupped his hands in salute.

"Xiao Wei, you have been out for several days now. When are you returning to Spirit Hall?" Bibi Dong asked.

"I will return with Teacher as well, cultivate properly, and increase my Soul Power."

After thinking it over, Huang Wei had originally intended to stay behind and find a chance to get rid of Yu Xiaogang before leaving. But he could not do that now, because Bibi Dong would have someone monitor him. If he acted rashly, Gui Mei would certainly follow him.

Then Gui Mei would see him get rid of Yu Xiaogang.

Huang Wei was naturally not afraid of Gui Mei seeing it.

But Bibi Dong still had feelings for Yu Xiaogang. If she learned that he had gotten rid of Yu Xiaogang, she might very well go mad and could even kill him.

No matter what, he did not want his relationship with Bibi Dong to worsen or develop any cracks, so he needed to think carefully before acting.

Even if he could warn Gui Mei not to report the matter, Gui Mei might only agree on the surface before secretly reporting it to Bibi Dong the moment he turned around.

Or if Gui Mei happened to let it slip in his sleep, then he would be finished.

So, after eliminating every risk, he decided not to do it.

Huang Wei's intense killing intent toward Yu Xiaogang surged within him. Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang, I'll let a hypocrite like you live a little longer for now. I'll find a chance to kill you in the future! Once I return, I'll properly deal with that equally hypocritical disciple of yours first.

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Then we will return together."

Suddenly, Huang Wei leaned close to Su Yuntao's ear and whispered a few words.

Su Yuntao was startled, then nodded.

Huang Wei then gave a mysterious smile and departed with Bibi Dong and the others.

Su Yuntao immediately went to see them off.

Afterward, he promptly instructed the other Spirit Hall members to forget everything that had happened today!! Otherwise, their lives would be forfeit! Nothing had happened at the Spirit Hall Branch, and everything would continue as usual, with people clocking in and out normally.

Bibi Dong and the other Elders who had just left had done the same. They had not gone out through Spirit Hall's main gate, but had swiftly departed through the back entrance, where no one could see them.

Along the way, they restrained their Soul Power and concealed every trace of their arrival as much as possible.

Within Spirit Hall, those who had seen the group all wisely kept their mouths shut. They knew this concerned their lives and safety, so they did not dare take it lightly.

Meanwhile, at Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, the teacher had just finished a temporary lesson in one of the classrooms.

Regarding Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had not come to class, he frowned slightly in displeasure. He had said nothing during the lesson, but now that it was over, he headed straight for the office to complain to the Homeroom Teacher.

Inside the classroom, Wang Sheng and the others from Seven Dormitory saw that the seats of Tang San and Sister Xiao Wu, who always arrived on time, had remained empty throughout the entire class.

"Wang Sheng, ever since you came back and reported it, Teacher's expression has not looked good. He has been gloomy the whole time. It must be because Tang San and Sister Xiao Wu did not come."

"Where did the two of them go?"

The other Seven Dormitory students gathered around and asked curiously, unable to understand.

Wang Sheng spread his hands, looking completely innocent. "I really have no idea where they went. But Tang San is Master's disciple. Could the two of them have gone to Master's place?"

"I see. That is not impossible. Let's go back first. They cannot run away anyway."

The others nodded, feeling that this explanation made sense.

They did not dwell on it any further and all left.

The classroom was now completely empty.

Meanwhile, in the office, the instructor from the previous lesson went directly to the Homeroom Teacher to lodge his complaint.

When the Homeroom Teacher learned that the two had skipped class, his expression changed and he became angry.

He rose to his feet and headed for Yu Xiaogang's office, intending to get an explanation.

If there had been something going on, Yu Xiaogang would have notified him in advance. Yet he had not said a word today.

Even if he was the Dean's friend, this was far too improper.

A fellow who freeloaded at the academy.

Chapter 57: A Bloodline Connection

At the same time, behind Holy Spirit Village stood a massive waterfall cliff, surrounded by towering mountain ranges and dense forests of huge trees.

Who would have thought that such a treasure land existed behind Holy Spirit Village? Nourished year-round by the Soul Power in this place, the surrounding vegetation grew far more lushly and massively than outside.

Behind the waterfall was a large cave entrance known as Waterfall Cave.

Within it sat a middle-aged man clad in tattered robes, his face covered in stubble. He carried an exceedingly weathered aura.

Beside him grew a Blue Silver Grass much larger than those outside.

He was Tang Hao, while the Blue Silver Grass beside him was Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor.

Tang Hao sat there, whispering softly to her.

"Ah Yin, don't worry. Our child has grown up. In the future, I will find another good place and transplant you there."

"Xiao San is a good boy. Before he grows strong enough, I will remain behind him and protect him in secret. No one will be allowed to hurt him."

"Those people from Spirit Hall—I will personally destroy them once he grows up and avenge you!"

As Tang Hao spoke, a cold, sinister glint flashed through his eyes.

His hand gently and lightly stroked the petals of the Blue Silver Emperor.

But in the next moment, the Blue Silver Emperor began swaying unusually, seeming anxious as though she wanted to convey some message to Tang Hao.

Tang Hao also noticed that something was wrong with the Blue Silver Emperor's movements. At first, he had thought she was responding to his words, but after looking carefully, his expression changed. Although Ah Yin was dead, he understood her.

If she was moving like this, something must have happened.

Tang San was Ah Yin's bloodline. Although he had yet to awaken, he truly shared a bloodline connection with her; Tang San simply did not know it yet.

For Ah Yin to be so anxious, there could only be one explanation.

"You mean something has happened to Xiao San?!"

Tang Hao's pupils constricted, and his face darkened as he hurriedly stood up.

The Blue Silver Emperor frantically made a motion of lowering her petals.

This confirmed it.

"Impossible. I have only been gone for such a short time, and before I left, I specifically told Yu Xiaogang to watch over him..."

"Do you know what happened to him?"

Urgency appeared on Tang Hao's somber face.

The Blue Silver Emperor's petals swayed constantly, as though shaking her head.

It meant she did not know. She had only sensed that Xiao San was in danger, but she could not sense what had happened. Even if he had been captured, she could not sense that he had been captured.

"Ah Yin, don't worry. I'm going back right now!"

Tang Hao took one step forward, and his tall, muscular body burst straight through the waterfall as he flew madly toward Nuoding City.

He failed to notice that, at that very moment, a smiling man in Holy Spirit Village was asking several villagers about him.

The man was someone Bibi Dong had sent from Spirit Hall. Following Huang Wei's earlier instructions, he had come to gather information about Tang Hao and Tang San.

Sure enough, tempted by Gold Soul Coins, the villagers told him everything they knew.

There was indeed a blacksmith named Tang Hao in Holy Spirit Village. His son was named Tang San and possessed Innate Full Soul Power with Blue Silver Grass. Not long ago, he had returned with a girl...

They spoke with endless envy. This was the benefit of becoming a Soul Master.

They went on and on.

The spy obtained the information he wanted with ease, just as he had hoped.

I never thought this mission would be even easier than I imagined. He secretly chuckled in delight.

He smiled warmly at the villagers around him. "Thank you all for telling me. Since he is not home, I will not disturb you any longer."

With that, he hurried away.

After the villagers dispersed,

he secretly slipped into the Tang Hao residence they had mentioned from another direction.

He searched the place from top to bottom, but found nothing except the most ordinary belongings.

"It seems he has lived here for a long time. Who would have thought that the mighty Clear Sky Douluo's home would be so filthy and messy? And what a strong smell of alcohol. Tsk, tsk. Record it all and report everything when the time comes!"
