"The young man sitting in the carriage should be a noble of this world..."
Tang San murmured to himself, a glimmer of hope rising in his slightly cold eyes.
"Even if my Martial Soul is the Trash Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, with my teacher's guidance, I'll still become a noble through my own efforts one day. I'll rise above everyone else!"
Meanwhile.
The carriage continued racing toward the location of Holy Soul Village, following the road from Nuoding City.
Judging by what he knew from the original story, they should reach Holy Soul Village in another quarter of an hour.
"Sixth Worship, Seventh Worship, Tang Hao should be in Holy Soul Village right now. I may need to trouble you both to take action in a moment."
At Ye Xuan's words, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo slowly opened their eyes. Thousand Jun Douluo, in particular, could barely suppress the smile tugging at his lips.
"Heh heh, don't worry, Ye. When the time comes, just focus on winning over Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor. Leave Tang Hao to us brothers."
Seeing his big brother looking as though he'd been given a shot of adrenaline, Jiang Mo felt utterly helpless.
His big brother was great in every way, but he often lost control whenever he faced someone from the Clear Sky Sect.
But since the Grand Pontiff had assigned the mission to the two of them this time, it meant he'd given them permission to take the opportunity to kill Tang Hao.
A little while later.
The carriage entered Holy Soul Village.
The village roads were muddy and uneven.
They had no choice but to have the coachman stop and wait at the village entrance.
Before they'd even made it into the village, Old Jack, who had been standing guard at the entrance, noticed their extraordinary bearing and greeted them warmly.
To Ye Xuan's surprise, Thousand Jun Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo didn't put on airs as Titled Douluos. Once inside the village, they started chatting with the neighbors.
"Village Chief, we've come here to eliminate an evil Soul Master who fled to this area some time ago. For the villagers' safety, we need your cooperation. Please take your valuables and get as far away from the village as you can."
"Once we've dealt with the evil Soul Master, you can return. In the meantime, we'll give every household five Gold Soul Coins as compensation."
Ye Xuan spoke in a steady, sincere voice.
Their friendly conversation had already earned the villagers' trust. Now that they'd heard why the group had come—and that they were willing to compensate them with Gold Soul Coins—
At Old Jack's urging, the villagers of Holy Soul Village took their money and hurried away.
Thousand Jun Douluo gave a slight nod at Ye Xuan's approach.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Tang Hao should be at the back mountain. We'll be counting on the divine might of you two Worshippers."
The three of them moved quickly. Since Ye Xuan didn't need to fight this time, he didn't summon Xiao Wu or Tian Meng.
Holy Soul Village.
Back mountain.
Using Spirit Detection, Ye Xuan soon found a cave with a small hollow inside the mountain.
At the foot of a ruined slope, he spotted a drunkard with stubble and a flushed face.
"Vision Sharing!"
When Ye Xuan shared his vision with the two Worshippers, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo were startled at first, but quickly realized it was one of Ye Xuan's abilities.
"Worshippers, that stubbly drunkard is Tang Hao."
"Keep him occupied. I'll go win over the Blue Silver Emperor!"
"But be careful. Don't let the fight reach the cave where the Blue Silver Emperor is."
At Ye Xuan's words,
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo both erupted with the power of peak rank ninety-five Super Douluos.
"Ha ha ha ha! We've searched high and low, only to find it without effort! Tang Hao, you little brat, come and die!"
Thousand Jun Douluo's eyes were bloodshot. As far as he was concerned, anyone connected to the Clear Sky Sect deserved to die.
And Tang Hao, who had killed Qian Xunji, deserved it most of all!
Falling Devil Douluo was somewhat calmer than Thousand Jun Douluo, but only by comparison.
The moment he saw Tang Hao, the aura bursting from him was no weaker than Thousand Jun Douluo's.
Seeing the two Super Douluos go after Tang Hao, Ye Xuan immediately used Simulation to turn himself into an inconspicuous stone and sped toward the cave where the Blue Silver Emperor was.
At the same time,
Tang Hao had just finished chatting with Ah Yin and spent most of the day drowning his sorrows in drink.
Suddenly, he sensed two Super Douluo auras appear beside him in an instant.
His mind, dulled by alcohol, snapped awake when he saw the Coiling Dragon Staffs swinging toward him.
"Holy crap!!!"
Even Tang Hao, who had seen his share of big scenes, let out a curse when confronted with this sudden attack.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Force Lifting Thousand Jun!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Coiling Dragon Suppressing Devil!"
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo had no intention of giving Tang Hao a moment to catch his breath. They meant to strike first and leave him no chance to fight back.
Tang Hao lived up to his reputation as one of the Clear Sky Twin Stars. The instant he sensed danger, he summoned his Clear Sky Hammer.
A thick, earthy-yellow radiance immediately swirled around him.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Guardian of Strength!"
While the two Worshippers, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, were locked in a fierce battle with Tang Hao, Ye Xuan concealed himself and rushed straight into the cave where Ah Yin was.
"I can't believe Tang Hao left his wife in a place like this. Even if he'd just left Ah Yin out in the wilderness, she should've become a Hundred-Year Soul Beast by now, after nearly ten years."
As he thought this, a Pokeball appeared in Ye Xuan's palm, white and blue with two flame-red stripes across the blue.
"This is... a Super Ball? My Martial Soul evolved!?"
Seeing that his Pokeball had changed from its basic form, the one that couldn't capture Soul Beasts, Ye Xuan was astonished.
But soon, he seemed to realize something.
Then he released Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Hm? Where are we? Why'd you call me out?"
Looking at the pitch-black surroundings and the faintly breathing Blue Silver Emperor in front of him, Tian Meng couldn't understand what Ye Xuan was up to.
"Tian Meng, use Simulation to disguise yourself as the Blue Silver Emperor."
As he spoke, Ye Xuan rummaged through a small mound of dirt nearby, found a wooden box, and took out Ah Yin's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Then, under Tian Meng's astonished gaze, he picked up a chicken bone left over from breakfast and tossed it inside.
"Tang Hao might not die anytime soon. There's a good chance he'll come back here to take this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone before he runs."
Ye Xuan paused.
Then he leaned straight toward Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's ear and explained his plan.
By the time Tian Meng had heard the whole thing, his face had darkened beyond belief.
"Damn, you're seriously devious. If Tang Hao finds out the truth afterward, he'll probably hate you to death."
