Tang Hao Appears!

A sharp glint flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes.

He did not know how Taichu had learned of it, but everyone had secrets, and he would not press the matter to get to the bottom of it.

He only needed to trust him.

After all, the Soul Bone Poison Storage Method, the Immortal Herbs, the Soul Bones... after all that, he trusted Taichu immensely.

And precisely because of that.

Even though he knew there were some inconsistencies in Taichu's words, he did not say anything more.

"What if Tang Hao isn't there?"

Dugu Bo asked.

Tang Hao was a person, after all. As long as he was human, he would have thoughts of his own. He was not some NPC in a game who would stay in one place forever.

"Tang Hao's hopes for revenge rest entirely on Tang San. At least before Tang San has fully Grown Up, Tang Hao will likely spend most of his time secretly protecting his son."

Taichu said slowly.

Perhaps the only time Tang Hao had failed to keep watch was when you, Dugu Bo, suddenly abducted Tang San.

However.

Because Taichu had intervened, such a thing was now bound to never happen again.

"Then how am I supposed to force him out?"

Dugu Bo asked.

Forcing him out would be easy enough, but if he suddenly appeared in that little city and forced Tang Hao to reveal himself, then Tang Hao discovered that the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone had vanished, he would immediately suspect them. Being targeted by the Clear Sky Douluo was no good thing.

"Grandfather, go to Nuoding City in my name and bring my Uncle and the others over. When you leave, simply pass by Nuoding Academy."

Taichu offered a solution.

Was it not easy to force Tang Hao to act? Tang Hao had long since discovered that rabbit in Nuoding Academy. In Tang Hao's eyes, her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone had already become his possessions.

However.

He was not planning to use them himself. After all, he was already a Titled Douluo, with all nine rings gathered and a Full Set of Soul Bones.

Thus, those Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone had actually been prepared for his son, Tang San.

If.

Dugu Bo's sudden appearance placed that Hundred Thousand Year Transformed Soul Beast in danger, the first to panic would not be Xiao Wu, but Tang Hao. After all, he did not want the Hundred Thousand Year Transformed Soul Beast he had prepared for Tang San to fall into someone else's hands.

After personally experiencing it, he knew very well just how astonishing the enhancement brought by a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring could be.

Only by absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone could Tang San surpass him and launch his revenge against Spirit Hall.

"Then I'll make the trip."

Dugu Bo agreed without hesitation.

He wanted to take a look at the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone as well.

Of course.

He was not shameless enough to snatch something from a child. He simply had never seen a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone in his entire life and wanted to know what one looked like.

Afterward, they discussed and decided upon a course of action.

The discussion itself was rather headache-inducing.

After all, the original plan had simply been canceled, bringing everything forward to now. The fundamental reason was that if they could obtain that Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone sooner and allow his Uncle to recover sooner—

Then.

Why should he delay for another three years?

Several days later.

Dugu Bo and Taichu left Dugu Manor together, leaving Dugu Yan behind alone.

If Dugu Yan came along, she would instead be placed in danger.

If Dugu Yan followed Dugu Bo when he faced Tang Hao, she would undoubtedly become a weakness, a burden at his side.

As for Taichu seeking the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, if Tang Hao discovered him by accident, Tang Hao certainly would not show mercy. A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was more than enough reason for Tang Hao to kill to silence him.

For that reason.

With the risks being too great, Dugu Yan did not go with them. Otherwise, she would only hold them back.

As for him.

Although his Soul Power Level was only Level 35, a Soul Elder, and his strength was nothing impressive, the Soul Skill produced by his Third Soul Ring was the Space Type Dojutsu, Amenotejikara.

Granted, this Soul Skill was inferior to a life-saving divine skill like Kamui.

But.

Amenotejikara was no weak ability either.

Performing Space Displacement with Dugu Bo just once had drained his Soul Power completely, but that was only because Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo.

With a different target.

Little things without Soul Power, such as grass, trees, stones, and birds... consumed far less Soul Power. After several days of testing, he found that using such things for Space Displacement allowed him to use Amenotejikara more than thirty times.

So even if he encountered Tang Hao, that would be enough for him to escape from Tang Hao's hands.

However.

If he brought Dugu Yan along, Tenshiri could indeed move people, but each use of Amenotejikara would consume proportionally more Soul Power.

At full strength, he could originally use Tenshiri more than thirty times, but after bringing Dugu Yan along, that number instantly dropped to eight.

Therefore.

He could not bring Dugu Yan. Dugu Bo likewise did not want his Granddaughter to fall into danger, so they both loudly refused her repeated requests.

Nuoding City.

This inconspicuous little city had drawn a Titled Douluo here because of someone.

"For such an ordinary little city to produce a genius as talented as Taichu truly is like pie falling from the sky!"

Dugu Bo sighed.

Then, he entered the city.

Fortunately, entering the city did not cost much, only a few Copper Soul Coins. The only people who could enter without paying were those from Spirit Hall or those carrying credentials related to Spirit Hall.

Ordinary people still had to pay to enter.

Though sometimes, some people would be harassed or even extorted because of this.

But.

They were lucky. Dugu Bo did not encounter anyone like that.

After entering the city.

Following the route he had discussed with Taichu, he took a slight detour past Nuoding Academy on his way to Su Yuntao's residence. Though he did not know why Taichu insisted that he pass by Nuoding Academy, he was someone who enjoyed doing the opposite of what others wanted. This time, however, he let it go.

Thus.

He obediently followed the agreed-upon route and walked onward.

Along the way.

As he neared Nuoding Academy, he stopped as Taichu had instructed and looked toward the academy. After lingering there for quite some time, he only then resumed walking.

Yet every one of his actions had been watched by someone.

And so.

Seizing an opportunity, Tang Hao appeared before Dugu Bo. His clothes were ragged, and he had concealed his face extremely well. Even someone close to him would have found it difficult to recognize him.

"Dugu Bo, leave this place immediately!!!"
