"Purple Demon Eye, Mysterious Heaven Skill,"
Ah Yin's pupils contracted slightly as she murmured.
These were the two supreme techniques of the Tang Sect recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, just as the video had said.
"Next, as usual, you can practice Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Mysterious Jade Hand, and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon."
"As for the Hundred Variations of Hidden Weapons, you can practice with other small stones, or with falling flowers and leaves."
"Heh, with the Tang Sect's methods, even a blade of grass can become a weapon when you use the power of Mysterious Heaven Skill and the techniques in the Hundred Variations of Hidden Weapons."
"With a surprise attack, killing a Soul Master would be as easy as pie."
As Tang San spoke, a faint smile appeared on his face.
That was how confident he was in the Tang Sect's techniques!
But his words dealt a devastating blow to Ah Yin, who had been watching from nearby.
The moment she heard Tang San, tears streamed down Ah Yin's face like a spring.
She felt as if everything she had done six years ago had been in vain.
Six years ago.
She had chosen to sacrifice herself.
Wasn't it so that her husband and child could survive?
Yet now, the truth told her that after her death, her husband had fallen into despair, content to be a little blacksmith in a village and even neglecting their 'child.'
And the child she had fought to protect with her life had been taken over by an outsider!
He even possessed the Martial Soul she had wanted to pass down to her child!
As she watched Tang San perform movements she had never seen before, right in front of her,
he practiced strange techniques with stones in his hands.
After reaching the depths of despair, a murderous intent unlike anything she had ever felt finally took root in Ah Yin's heart!
She would kill the 'Tang San' before her!
Her real child's soul had already shattered on that night six years ago.
She would rather destroy her child's body than let it become a vessel for another bastard!
'Tang San'!
In this life, I absolutely won't let you use my child's body to do whatever you want!
I swear it as a mother!
I will make your soul get out of my child's body!
As Tang San practiced the Tang Sect's techniques as usual, he never would have imagined
that his long-hidden identity would be exposed by Ah Yin, the mother of the original Tang San.
Nor would Tang San have expected
that because his identity had been exposed,
despite his body carrying the bloodline of the previous Blue Silver Emperor,
his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul would never again have any chance of evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor!
Ah Yin stared at 'Tang San' and made a vow in her heart.
She would never let the 'Tang San' before her obtain the Blue Silver Emperor!
And so,
after giving the bastard who had taken over her child's body a baleful look,
Ah Yin retraced her steps and returned to Su Yun.
When Ah Yin came back,
Su Yun was just about to get up and ask what had happened, but Ah Yin suddenly raised a hand to stop him.
Su Yun was a little confused.
But he stayed in the same position as before, absorbing energy from the Blue Silver Grass.
He continued to recover his strength.
At the same time,
Su Yun also keenly sensed that something seemed off about Ah Yin's mood.
What was going on?
Had she felt sorry for Tang San after seeing how small and frail he was?
That wasn't impossible.
Tang San's little body really did look as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
But
just as Su Yun was trying to guess what had caused Ah Yin's low spirits,
Ah Yin suddenly spoke.
"Little Su Yun, there's something important I want to tell you."
Ah Yin looked at Su Yun, determination flickering in her eyes.
"Really? Something important?"
"What is it?"
Su Yun's expression grew serious, too.
If Ah Yin said it was important, then it definitely wasn't trivial!
Seeing Su Yun's young face turn serious as well,
Ah Yin first took a deep breath.
She needed to calm the turbulent emotions inside her.
After a long while,
Ah Yin finally met Su Yun's eyes.
She spoke slowly. "Actually..."
"Tang San on the mountaintop isn't my child."
Boom!
Ah Yin's words were completely calm.
They were just a simple statement.
And yet
they crashed into Su Yun's ears like thunder that shook heaven and earth!
They left Su Yun completely dumbfounded.
Wait.
I haven't even tried to ask indirectly yet.
How can you be so certain that Tang San on the mountain isn't your child?
Su Yun was stunned.
This wasn't how the plot was supposed to go!
She wasn't following the script!
"Little Su Yun, I know your mind must be in a mess right now, but don't panic. Listen and I'll explain."
"Although the 'Tang San' on the mountain has my child's body, his soul isn't my child's."
"My real child actually died in that battle six years ago."
"And the soul of the 'Tang San' here now comes from another world."
"The original owner of that soul was also called Tang San. He came from a place called the Tang Sect."
"People there practice all sorts of strange techniques from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. They also make a kind of weapon called a Hidden Weapon. They don't look like good people at all."
Following this, Ah Yin continued.
