"This is simply against all ethics!"
Clearly, Tang Hao's behavior had infuriated Tang Wei.
Tang Feng braced himself and asked, "Sect Master, do we need to bring the Young Sect Master back?"
"Of course we must bring him back!"
"I truly don't know what is going on in that rebellious son's head, wasting his own talent just to dally with a Soul Beast."
Tang Hao's talent was the greatest since the founding of the sect, comparable even to his father, Tang Chen, who was known as the invincible on the ground.
Tang Wei firmly believed that as long as Tang Hao was willing to work hard, he would surely reach the heights of Tang Chen in the future.
When that time came, having two Limit Douluos in one sect might just be enough to suppress Martial Soul Hall.
"Sect Master, how should we handle the Soul Beast, and the child in her womb?" Tang Feng asked immediately after.
"Naturally, she must be killed!"
"However, this matter cannot be done by our Clear Sky Sect, otherwise Hao'er will resent us."
"Isn't Martial Soul Hall searching for the tracks of the Soul Beast by Hao'er's side?"
"We can take this opportunity to eliminate the Soul Beast by their hands, allowing him to focus on his cultivation."
"Besides, didn't Hao'er say this Soul Beast loves him very much?"
"Borrowing the hand of Martial Soul Hall is the perfect way to test this; perhaps we can even let Hao'er obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone."
"There have always been rumors that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast can sacrifice itself to a Soul Master, so we might as well verify it."
"If such a thing is true, once Hao'er receives the sacrifice of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he will certainly become a Titled Douluo immediately."
"After all, he is not far from the Titled Douluo realm now."
"When he left with that Soul Beast, he already possessed the cultivation of a Soul Douluo."
"Sect Master, brilliant!" Tang Feng flattered, "Sect Master, shall I go down and handle this matter now?"
"Don't be in such a rush." Tang Wei decided to give a few more instructions to avoid any slip-ups.
"When Martial Soul Hall makes their move, as long as Hao'er is not in mortal danger, you must not intervene, even if Hao'er uses his Ring Detonation."
"This is to avoid being suspected by Hao'er afterward, do you understand?"
"After all, Hao'er is the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect; even Qian Xunji would not dare to deal a lethal blow to him."
"Also, dispose of the person who tipped off Martial Soul Hall when the time comes."
"This matter must rot in your stomach and mine, understand?"
"Sect Master, I understand."
"Good, go and get it done."
Tang Feng took his leave.
After leaving the main sect of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Feng found a disciple of an outside surname and fed him a pack of lies.
After being hoodwinked, this outside disciple headed straight for Martial Soul City.
At the same time, Tang Feng was also secretly observing the movements of Tang Hao and Ah Yin at all times.
The intelligence obtained by the outside disciple was naturally the most up-to-date information.
Douluo Continent.
An unknown small village.
Ah Yin was only four or five days away from giving birth.
She was constantly restless, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
She found Tang Hao.
"Brother Hao, why don't we return to the Star Dou Forest? It's not that far from here anyway."
"I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, always sensing that something bad is about to happen."
"The Star Dou Forest is my home after all; it would put my heart at ease."
"Is that alright, Brother Hao?"
"Very well, Ah Yin, I will take you on the road." For the past few days, Tang Hao had also felt that someone was lurking in the shadows, watching him and Ah Yin.
Now, Ah Yin's restlessness only confirmed his suspicions.
Returning to the Star Dou Forest was indeed a good plan. Ah Yin was the Blue Silver Emperor; as long as she returned to the Star Dou Forest, even if something were to happen, she would have her subjects to help share the burden.
This way, he could at least ensure that Little San would arrive safely into this world.
Douluo Continent, Martial Soul City.
Martial Soul Hall.
"Your Excellency Pope, good news! We have news regarding Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor."
Gui Mei brought an outsider disciple of the Clear Sky Sect to meet Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji looked at the young man beside Gui Mei and instantly understood that this was the person who had brought the intelligence.
He said in an approachable manner, "Young man, are you the one who has news about Tang Hao and Ah Yin?"
"Yes, Your Excellency Pope." Looking at the Pope, who was as young as himself, the young man was very respectful.
He had no objections to Qian Xunji calling him a young man, as Qian Xunji's actual age was similar to his father's.
Without waiting for Qian Xunji to inquire further, the young man explained, "Your Excellency Pope, I come from the Clear Sky Sect. I am an outsider disciple, though my father holds some status within the sect."
"He got drunk the day before yesterday, and I heard him mention Tang Hao and Ah Yin."
"Your Excellency Pope, I wonder if the one million Gold Soul Coins offered by your esteemed Hall are true?" The young man stopped there, greed showing in his eyes.
"As long as the information is reliable, the reward is naturally true," Qian Xunji promised.
The young man felt a surge of joy and immediately continued, "Your Excellency Pope, I will tell you right now where Tang Hao and Ah Yin are."
"I heard from my father the day before yesterday that Tang Hao and Ah Yin are preparing to return to the Star Dou Forest. They should appear there within these next two days."
"As for the direction, it is near the Star Luo Empire."
"Oh, right, Ah Yin is pregnant and is about to give birth."
"Very well, young man. Wait for me for a day or two. Once I confirm the information is accurate, I will give you the Gold Soul Coins."
"Then I thank Your Excellency Pope."
"Once you confirm the information is true, please send the Gold Soul Coins to the Su Residence. I will not linger in Martial Soul Hall any longer." The young man gave Qian Xunji an address.
After providing the address, he left.
Qian Xunji watched the young man's retreating figure and fell into deep thought.
Greed?
A conspiracy?
It seems it is both!
Tang Wei wants to use me as a weapon!
I accept!
Such a perfect vessel for gestation—if your Clear Sky Sect doesn't want it, I will accept it without hesitation.
I know your bottom line.
Your bottom line is also the handle I will use to control Ah Yin.
Therefore, not only will I not kill Tang Hao and Tang San, I will ensure they live well.
Of course, your Clear Sky Sect will also need to pay a price; let's say, when Tang San awakens his martial soul.
It is truly interesting. My Martial Soul Hall has searched for so many years without finding Tang Hao and Ah Yin, yet the Clear Sky Sect found them so easily, and right at the critical moment of labor.
It is getting more and more interesting.
Certain fellows are really forcing hatred onto Martial Soul Hall.
I have remembered you all.
Next, let me go see Tang Hao and Ah Yin, as well as the child in Ah Yin's womb—the Little Scoundrel.
I suppose I will soon know why the Little Scoundrel does not have Innate Full Soul Power.
Innate Soul Power is born with one, remaining stagnant within the martial soul.
Before the age of six, without specific methods, it is impossible to draw soul power from the outside world.
To absorb the free-roaming soul power between heaven and earth, one must wait until the martial soul is awakened at age six, allowing the innate soul power to enter the body, and then practice meditation.
Only the Little Scoundrel is an exception.
Because Tang San possesses the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Of course, he himself is also an exception now, because he possesses the Ancient Phoenix Method.
It is just that A-Huang is too stingy and forbids him from passing the Ancient Phoenix Method to others, even his own children or wife.
A-Huang even threatened him with the Ancient Phoenix Seal.
If Qian Xunji dared to pass it on, she would take back the Ancient Phoenix Seal and send Qian Xunji to the God Realm to do manual labor.
Of course, Qian Xunji calling A-Huang stingy was merely an expression of dissatisfaction; there were likely reasons for this that he did not yet know.
With the system at his disposal, the information fed back by the system indicated that A-Huang's Ancient Phoenix Method and Ancient Phoenix Seal would indeed not harm him.
Before the age of six, one cannot awaken a martial soul.
Only after six can the martial soul awakening be performed; this is a power derived from the rules, and it is not something the current Qian Xunji can break.
Gui Mei, go notify Yue Guan and have him accompany you to the Star Dou Forest.
"Yes, Your Holiness."
Gui Mei withdrew.
Qian Xunji began seeking out the elders other than Gui Mei and Yue Guan; to be safe, he decided to bring them all along, even though he had already stepped into the realm of a demigod.
As for the enshrined elders like Golden Crocodile, Lion, and Thousand Jun, there was nothing he could do; they were Qian Daoliu's men and would only take orders from Qian Daoliu.
If Qian Daoliu were to find out that he was taking people just to snatch a soul beast, he certainly would not approve.
