Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin

Leaving Notting Academy, Tang Hao did not head straight for the Star Dou Forest. Instead, he went to the cave where he had planted Ah Yin.

Looking at Ah Yin, so fragile before him that she seemed unable to withstand even a gust of wind, Tang Hao's gaze was exceptionally complex. Although Tang Hao had originally sought Ah Yin for her Soul Ring, after spending so much time together—and especially since Ah Yin had borne him a child—he had still developed feelings for her.

"Ah Yin, our child's talent after awakening is excellent. Innate Full Soul Power—there are hardly a few on the continent with Innate Full Soul Power. In just two short years, he has already grown to the point of obtaining his second Soul Ring." Tang Hao stroked Ah Yin's leaves, recounting Tang San's situation. "A piece of news has suddenly appeared on the continent: an Immortal Herb has emerged in the Star Dou Forest. Consuming it can evolve one's Martial Soul and greatly enhance Soul Power. If I obtain this Immortal Herb, my injuries might fully recover. At that time, the Martial Soul Hall will no longer be the strongest force—the Clear Sky Sect will be. And when that day comes, I will destroy the entire Martial Soul Hall to avenge you." Finally, after caressing Ah Yin's leaves once more, Tang Hao turned and left the cave.

"Grandpa, I'm back." Before Lin Yu even entered the courtyard, he was already calling out for Old Jack. Hearing Lin Yu's shouts, Old Jack hobbled out with unsteady steps. In just two short years, Old Jack had grown visibly older. Although Lin Yu had asked the Martial Soul Hall in Notting City to look after Old Jack when he left, Old Jack's age was ultimately too advanced. Aging was an irresistible rule in this world. After all, even a Peerless Douluo only had a lifespan of two hundred years, let alone an ordinary person like Old Jack.

"Grandpa, you've aged so much." Looking at Old Jack before him, Lin Yu's eyes stung slightly.

"Xiao Yu, you're back? These must be the esteemed guests from the Martial Soul Hall. Please, come in quickly." Old Jack looked at Lin Yu and the people standing beside him, hurriedly inviting them into the house, his face brimming with unspeakable joy.

"Mm, these are my friends from the Martial Soul Hall. When they heard I wanted to come home and visit, they came along." Lin Yu did not reveal their identities, only saying they were his friends. On the day Lin Yu set out, Hu Liena had come knocking, insisting on going with him to Holy Soul Village to see where he grew up. In the end, Dugu Yan had also joined in. It was only after Bibi Dong gave the order that Lin Yu agreed to let them both come along; otherwise, who knew how much time would have been wasted.

"It's good that you're back. I'll go make your favorite Spicy Rabbit Head." With that, Old Jack prepared to go out and catch a rabbit. After all, Lin Yu's return was very sudden; Old Jack had no preparations at all.

"Grandpa, you just rest. I'll go catch the rabbits. Wait for us to come back." After saying this, Lin Yu pressed Old Jack, who was trying to get up, back down, then walked out the door. "You two stay here and keep my grandpa company. I'll be back soon." Saying this, ignoring Hu Liena and Dugu Yan who wanted to follow, Lin Yu ran off alone. With the boost from his second Martial Soul, by the time Hu Liena and Dugu Yan had just stepped outside, Lin Yu had already vanished. They could only helplessly return to the house and chat with Old Jack. Turning around, they realized Yue Guan had also disappeared at some point.

"Kid, tell me, what are you planning to do?" By the time Lin Yu reached the back mountain, Yue Guan was already waiting for him there. Although Lin Yu was fast, his Soul Power Level was still too low at this point to be a match for a Titled Douluo. Seeing Yue Guan, Lin Yu showed no surprise at all.

"Uncle Yue, what are you talking about? I'm just going to the back mountain to catch rabbits for Spicy Rabbit Head." Lin Yu's eyes darted a little; mainly, he didn't know how to explain.

"Catch rabbits?" Yue Guan looked at Lin Yu with a half-smile, then simply waved his hand. A rabbit that had already lost its life appeared in his grasp. "If it's just catching rabbits, then we can go back now. I'm quite curious to see how delicious this 'Spicy Rabbit Head' your grandpa mentioned really is." Yue Guan shook the rabbit in his hand, looking at Lin Yu. Hearing Yue Guan's words, Lin Yu gave an awkward laugh.

"Uh, ahem. I haven't been back in two years. I just wanted to take a stroll around the back mountain of Holy Soul Village. After all, I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to come back." Lin Yu scratched his head, offering a lame excuse. Seeing Lin Yu like this, Yue Guan's face showed a helpless expression. He knew that asking Lin Yu would yield no information. This time, Yue Guan had followed Lin Yu under an order from Bibi Dong: to assist Lin Yu, no matter what Lin Yu wanted to do. Ever since returning from the Sunset Forest, Bibi Dong had sensed something different about Lin Yu. It was as if Lin Yu knew what was in the Sunset Forest and the Star Dou Forest, which was why he could make extraordinary gains whenever he went to those places. Lin Yu said he went to the Sunset Forest for his second Soul Ring, and there he discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, obtaining a considerable number of Immortal Herbs. Then he went to the Star Dou Forest for his third Soul Ring, where he obtained an External Soul Bone and even encountered the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger—as if Lin Yu knew there were treasures there. So this time, when Lin Yu once again proposed going to the place where he was born, Bibi Dong naturally assumed that Holy Soul Village must have something special. After all, Bibi Dong didn't believe Lin Yu was simply that lucky, stumbling upon extraordinary opportunities wherever he went.

"Xiao Yu, what secret are you hiding? But no matter what secret you have, I will always be on your side." Bibi Dong wore a morbid smile, swinging from one extreme to another. At that moment, the Soul Blood that had been flickering within Bibi Dong's Martial Soul finally fully merged into it. "Finally, perfection." Bibi Dong licked the corner of her mouth.

"Alright, if you don't want to talk, then don't. When I came out this time, His Majesty ordered me to follow your commands completely. Although I don't know what you're looking for, I did indeed find one unusual place." Yue Guan stopped hiding it and smiled at Lin Yu. Then, without waiting for Lin Yu's reaction, he grabbed Lin Yu's hand and flew toward the place he had discovered. Soon, the two arrived before a waterfall. Behind the waterfall was the cave where the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin was planted. Seeing this scene, Lin Yu, without caring why Yue Guan had brought him here, walked straight toward the cave.

"Uncle Yue, how did you find this place?" Lin Yu still remembered to ask Yue Guan.

"Since I knew you had a purpose in coming to Holy Soul Village, I naturally examined the situation here carefully. A Titled Douluo's spiritual power is very strong, especially for one who has consumed an Immortal Herb like me. Besides, there was nothing remarkable about any other place—only this spot had a barrier set up by someone." Yue Guan raised an eyebrow at Lin Yu. By now, the two had already entered the cave. Seeing the Blue Silver Grass with golden patterns on its body, Lin Yu's eyes lit up.

"I found you, Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin!" Lin Yu stared fixedly at the Blue Silver Emperor before him.
