Intercept and Kill

"???"

Su Yuntao was filled with question marks after hearing Tang San's words. It was one thing to not join Wuhun Hall, but every year after the awakening ceremony in Nuoding City, there were always a dozen or so children who became spirit masters; not everyone was willing to join Wuhun Hall.

Of course, if it were someone with innate full spirit power, even if they had a trash spirit, he, Su Yuntao, would drag them to Wuhun Hall regardless. But what was this "I don't want to be a spirit master" nonsense? A spirit master, for heaven's sake! Was his parent some kind of savage? Did he not know how prestigious a spirit master was?

"Child, is your father still drunk?"

After holding it in for a long time, Su Yuntao finally asked. Old Jack had mentioned earlier that the boy's parent loved to drink and was often intoxicated; it must be that the alcohol hadn't worn off yet.

"Master Su Yuntao, how about this. You take Angela and Little San to Nuoding City first. Once Little San's father sobers up, I will speak with him. I believe he will be very happy for Little San to join Wuhun Hall."

Old Jack clearly also believed that Tang Hao hadn't sobered up yet; otherwise, he wouldn't have said such ridiculous things. Not wanting his child to be a spirit master—what kind of nonsense was that!

"Fine, let's do that. I'll take the two children to Nuoding City first, and you can notify Tang San's father when the time comes, Old Jack."

Su Yuntao couldn't be bothered to say anything more; there was truly no need to pay attention to the words of a drunkard. He grabbed Tang San's hand with one hand, picked up Angela with the other, and turned to walk out of Holy Soul Village.

Tang San was completely bewildered. What was going on? How did he end up joining Wuhun Hall in just a few short sentences? Him, the dignified Asura God King, joining Wuhun Hall? Was there some kind of mistake?

However, Tang San didn't resist. Firstly, Su Yuntao was a Great Spirit Master, so his resistance would be negligible. Secondly, he didn't believe Tang Hao would truly let him join Wuhun Hall; having Tang Hao reveal his identity as a spirit master early would also be beneficial to him.

Angela, on the other hand, was numb. What was happening? Was Tang San really going to join Wuhun Hall? What kind of international joke was this!

No! This was a real world, not some novel. It would be strange if Tang San's innate full spirit power talent wasn't being courted by Wuhun Hall. The original story where Su Yuntao was "blind" was purely the author lowering the characters' intelligence! Angela shook her head violently, correcting her own thoughts.

The next moment, as if remembering something, terror appeared in Angela's eyes. If one were to infer based on the logic of normal events, and if the interpersonal relationships described in the book were accurate, it was impossible for Tang Hao to let his own son actually join Wuhun Hall! If that were the case, then she and Su Yuntao were likely in mortal danger!

Based on the book's description of a Title Douluo's perception, it was impossible for Tang Hao not to have heard her say she was willing to join Wuhun Hall! She had taken everything too much for granted!

As Su Yuntao carried her along, Angela's mind began to race frantically. Should she warn Su Yuntao? Not to mention whether Su Yuntao would believe her, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to escape! And by doing so, besides alerting the potentially lurking Tang Hao that she was special, it would be useless. Would she really be walking toward a dead end?

What if she changed her perspective? Right now, saving her own life was the most important thing; future likes or dislikes didn't matter! It was just... sorry, "Blind Eye God King" Su Yuntao, I can only find a way to look after myself first.

She only hoped that this would give her a slightly better chance of survival.

Action followed thought. Angela brewed up some emotions, put on a look as if she were about to cry, and said to Su Yuntao, "Uncle, I don't want to join Wuhun Hall anymore. Can I go back and find my grandfather?"

"Don't cry, don't cry, don't be afraid. You'll be able to see your grandfather in a day or two at most." Seeing Angela's expression, Su Yuntao comforted her, assuming this was just a little girl afraid of being far from home and not understanding the significance of joining Wuhun Hall.

Tang San, who was being led by the hand, glanced at Angela. It seemed that even if this variable possessed a super spirit, she was still just a child.

As the three of them—one adult and two children—headed toward Nuoding City with different thoughts, Tang Hao moved as expected.

He couldn't possibly let Tang San join Wuhun Hall. He couldn't have done it in his previous decadent state, and now that he had regained his fighting spirit, it was even more impossible.

He dug out the cloak A Yin had given him, though it was already tattered beyond recognition. He tore off a piece of rags, covered his face, and Tang Hao's figure vanished from the pigsty-like mud house.

After walking for about the time it takes to eat a meal, the sense of dread in Angela's heart grew heavier and heavier, and this emotion reached its peak when she saw the black figure in the middle of the road.

The next moment, she only felt the world go black, and she couldn't see anything else.

Looking at the two children he had knocked unconscious, and then at Su Yuntao who was preparing to activate his spirit, Tang Hao didn't waste any words. He grabbed the man's skull, and with a surge of spirit power, the Great Spirit Master who had just been dreaming of a bright future stopped breathing.

Holding the corpse of the spirit master who had just helped his son awaken his spirit, Tang Hao felt not a ripple of emotion; everyone in Wuhun Hall deserved to die. However, the body needed to be disposed of. This way, Wuhun Hall would likely just assume he had gone missing. Wuhun Hall wouldn't care about the disappearance of a single Great Spirit Master; how many people went missing from Wuhun Hall every year?

He looked again at the two children lying unconscious on the ground. Tang Hao sighed. Tang San went without saying; he was his son.

As for Angela, he was a bit conflicted. If he killed her along with him, she was, after all, just a little girl. From the way she had wanted to join Wuhun Hall one moment and then didn't the next, it was clear she was just a spoiled child with no schemes.

But if he didn't kill her, how should he handle her? Leaving her to fend for herself—this was a super spirit with innate full spirit power. Once she really ran to Wuhun Hall, while she wouldn't pose any threat to his revenge plan, she would still be a small nuisance.

Thinking of this, Tang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up. That's right, a super spirit with innate full spirit power—why should she go to Wuhun Hall? Wouldn't it be better to cultivate her himself? He was confident that Tang San could 100% help him achieve his goal of reviving the sect and taking revenge on Wuhun Hall, but why not add another genius to the mix?

Furthermore, this girl would surely grow up to be a stunning beauty, which would be a worthy match for his son. A super spirit plus a twin spirit, both with innate full spirit power—the talent of their future children would certainly not be bad! Even if Tang San and this girl didn't end up together, it wasn't as if there were no other men in the Haotian Sect. Leaving a lineage of super spirits for the sect wouldn't be a bad thing!

Of course, it would be an affiliated sect, and it could only ever be an affiliated sect; no matter how strong the spirit, it could never compare to the sect's Haotian Hammer!

Having made up his mind, Tang Hao immediately placed Tang San and Angela in a fairly hidden patch of grass by the side of the road. He had been careful with his strength; the two children should be able to wake up before anyone discovered them. As for after they woke up, he believed that Tang San, who had been sensible and somewhat calculating since childhood, would take Angela back to Holy Soul Village.

After placing the two children, Tang Hao immediately shouldered Su Yuntao's corpse and vanished into the distant mountain forest.
