Taking Tang Hao's Wife, Meeting Di Tian

As Asura God's pawn, when Asura God wanted Tang Hao to retreat, Tang Hao naturally had no intention of continuing the fight.

"Kid! The green hills remain, the waters still flow! We'll meet again!"

Tang Hao grabbed Tang San from atop the boulder. Protected by Asura Divine Power, Tang San had not been injured by the aftermath of that fierce battle.

However, Tang San still cast Ao Zhan a vicious glance. He had managed to suppress his father, was a member of Spirit Hall, and was an unknown variable Tang San had never encountered in his previous life. He had to eliminate him!

The next second, Tang Hao transformed into a streak of blood-red light and fled at high speed, vanishing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Tang Hao flew for quite some time before stopping in a valley with a waterfall.

"Good. It seems that guy didn't pursue me."

Tang Hao took a deep breath and glanced back in the direction he had come from. Once he confirmed that Ao Zhan had not caught up, he finally relaxed.

Despite how boldly he had spoken earlier, he had actually been afraid that Ao Zhan would chase after him. With the other party's spatial power, Tang Hao might not have been able to escape.

"I nearly got myself killed this time. How could that brat be so absurdly powerful?! Still, Ah Yin's seed and soul bone are safe."

Tang Hao spat, wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and recalled how he had been suppressed from beginning to end. He had taken several hits from his opponent, and his bones had shattered more than once.

Although he did not know why his bones and martial soul had recovered, Tang Hao had no desire whatsoever to experience that feeling of being utterly suppressed again.

Moreover, when he examined his body internally, he found it in terrible condition.

The backlash from the Great Sumeru Hammer had not vanished just because Asura God had infused him with life energy. That life energy had been used to heal the injuries Ao Zhan had inflicted and to withstand the pain of Asura Divine Power being poured into his body.

Furthermore, fighting while bearing Asura Divine Power had pushed his body close to its limit. His meridians had suffered severe damage.

Still, Tang Hao was not overly panicked. He still had Ah Yin's soul bone. If he used it properly, his injuries might recover quickly.

Wait?

Where was his storage Soul Tool?

Tang Hao had just intended to take Ah Yin's soul bone out of his Soul Tool when he realized that the storage Soul Tool that should have been on his finger was gone!

He hurriedly searched his body, but ultimately found nothing!

His Soul Tool was gone!

After thinking for a moment, Tang Hao immediately realized who had done this.

"Ah—!!! Ao Zhan, you damned bastard!"

"Hehehehe, Tang Hao, your wife and your wife's soul bone belong to me now."

Ao Zhan grinned wickedly as he played with the ring in his hand. It was Tang Hao's storage Soul Tool.

As for when he had gotten it?

It had actually happened the first time Ao Zhan sent Tang Hao flying with a punch.

At that time, Ao Zhan had taken the opportunity to use spatial power to remove the storage Soul Tool from Tang Hao's finger. Tang Hao, whose full attention had been on the battle, had not noticed at all that his wife was gone.

Suddenly, the system's voice rang out. "Warning. A powerful soul power fluctuation has been detected hiding nearby."

"Who is it?!" Ao Zhan's gaze sharpened as he immediately asked.

"The target's soul power fluctuation is no weaker than Qian Daoliu's. It carries a dark aura and does not belong to a human. Based on the information of this world, the target is most likely the ruler of Star Dou Forest—the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian!"

"Di Tian?!"

Ao Zhan furrowed his brow.

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, ruler of Star Dou Forest, son of one of the Nine Great Dragon Kings, the Dark Dragon King, and trusted subordinate of Gu Yuena, the Dragon God's other half and the Silver Dragon King.

Why had he come looking for him?

Wait!

Ao Zhan lowered his head to look at his armor and sensed the dragon might emanating from his body.

"Could it be that my Azure Dragon Martial Soul and Azure Dragon Bloodline caught his attention? Or perhaps the attention of his master, Gu Yuena?!"

That was very possible.

The Azure Dragon's dragon might was highly suppressive toward beast martial souls, especially dragon martial souls. Dragons such as Di Tian and Gu Yuena would be affected the most.

Furthermore, Gu Yuena was currently injured. According to the original story, it would take her at least twenty thousand years to recover.

Now that such a powerful Dragon Clan aura had been discovered, Di Tian would naturally come to investigate. After all, the enemy of the Soul Beast Clan was the God Realm, while beasts could not become gods. Their only god-level combatant was Gu Yuena, but Gu Yuena alone was not enough.

Thus, after sensing his Azure Dragon might, Gu Yuena had sent Di Tian here to find him.

As for why they had waited until now to seek him out, it was probably because he had remained in Spirit City ever since awakening his martial soul and had never gone to Star Dou Forest to hunt soul beasts.

As the continent's foremost soul master power, Spirit City contained the greatest number of powerful soul masters on the continent. Unless Di Tian had water in his brain, he would not enter it.

Now that Ao Zhan had left Spirit City, Di Tian and Gu Yuena had finally seen an opportunity and come looking for him.

Having figured it out, Ao Zhan's lips curled slightly. Looking toward the place where the system indicated Di Tian was hiding, he called out, "The person over there, come out. I can see you."

"He discovered me?!"

Di Tian's body trembled in the darkness.

As a dark-element dragon, concealment was one of his specialties. Moreover, it was night, and with his peerless strength, he should not have been discovered.

"Forget it. If I can't figure it out, I won't think about it."

Di Tian promptly gave up thinking. He had come here to take the other party away, not to ponder how the other party had discovered him.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in a black robe, with black hair draped over his shoulders and golden pupils, stepped out from the shadows before Ao Zhan.

"You are...?" Ao Zhan studied Di Tian with interest.

Back on Blue Star, Ao Zhan had heard much about Di Tian, the Beast God and ruler of Star Dou Forest. However, in this era, Di Tian had remained at the Lake of Life, so there had been no news of him at all.

Now that he had met the real person, he naturally had to take a good look.

Under Ao Zhan's scrutiny, Di Tian felt a mountain-like pressure, like the pressure a superior dragon exerted when observing a lower-ranking dragon. It was extremely uncomfortable.

"My name is Di Tian. I am the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King of seven hundred eighty thousand years, the ruler of Star Dou Forest." Di Tian did not dare show the slightest disrespect as he slightly bowed and introduced himself to Ao Zhan.

He had come to draw the other party into his camp, not to become enemies with him.

Besides, the other party's Dragon Clan bloodline seemed extraordinarily high-ranked, so high that Di Tian could not resist it at all.

Di Tian had a premonition that if he showed even the slightest disrespect, that terrifying bloodline pressure would erupt, and even moving would become difficult for him!

Ao Zhan raised an eyebrow. "As the ruler of Star Dou Forest, why have you left Star Dou Forest to come here?"

"It is like this. My master wishes to speak with you. This concerns the future of our Dragon Clan."
