Tang Hao, You Can't Escape Even With Wings.

Aside from Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and the seven Great Elders, Martial Soul Hall possessed six other elders.

If one counted Leng Lingyuan, this would make for the seven Great Elders and nine elders of Martial Soul Hall, all of whom possessed cultivation at the Title Douluo level.

However, ever since Leng Lingyuan married Qian Xunji, her authority had surpassed that of the elders, meaning she was no longer counted among them.

Qian Xunji looked at the six Title Douluos and spoke: "I have summoned you elders here today because there is a very important mission that requires your collective assistance to complete."

"Your Excellency Pope, we shall certainly obey your every command and assist you in completing this mission."

The six men agreed repeatedly, not even asking what the matter was before following Qian Xunji out of Martial Soul Hall, heading straight for the Star Dou Forest.

Douluo Continent, Star Dou Forest.

If Tang Hao and Ah Yin were returning to the Star Dou Forest, the place they would go was undoubtedly the Blue Silver Emperor's Blue Silver Territory.

Martial Soul City was quite close to the Star Dou Forest; Qian Xunji and the six elders arrived in less than an hour.

After entering the Star Dou Forest, Qian Xunji headed straight for the Blue Silver Territory.

The result remained the same: the Blue Silver Emperor had not returned since she last transformed and departed.

Qian Xunji understood; he led the six elders away from the Blue Silver Territory. It seemed Tang Hao and Ah Yin were still on their way back.

Perhaps the person who brought the news had lied, or perhaps Tang Hao and Ah Yin had changed their minds?

Regardless of which it was, Qian Xunji did not wish to give up easily; he still had to go and see, to confirm it for himself.

Coming from the Star Luo Empire to the Star Dou Forest, the only way to enter the Blue Silver Territory was generally from the southwest.

He would go to the southwest and see if he could run into Tang Hao and Ah Yin.

Qian Xunji immediately issued an order: "Six Elders, follow me to the southwest. Spread out in a line; if you discover Tang Hao and Ah Yin, signal immediately."

"Yes, Your Excellency Pope." Only at this moment did the six of them realize why they had been brought to the Star Dou Forest today.

In the southwest.

Ah Yin sat in the carriage and urged: "Brother Hao, hurry a little. I have a bad premonition in my heart."

"Alright, Ah Yin." Tang Hao cracked his whip against the horses.

The horses, feeling the pain, increased their speed.

Qian Xunji and his party of seven had already exited the Star Dou Forest; a little further ahead lay the Star Luo Empire.

Had the informant lied?

Or had they simply not arrived yet?

Or had they changed their minds?

Qian Xunji did not continue searching further along the southwest; he decided to wait in this area for two or three days to see, and then make one final trip to the Blue Silver Emperor's territory.

"Your Excellency Pope, shall we continue the search?" Snake Lance Douluo approached Qian Xunji to ask.

"No need."

"We—quick, hide yourselves! You must not let Tang Hao and Ah Yin detect us." Qian Xunji's tone shifted, and he issued an immediate order, for his eyesight, far superior to that of an ordinary man, had caught sight of a carriage.

At this time, those riding a carriage into the Star Dou Forest were undoubtedly Tang Hao and Ah Yin.

The six men received Qian Xunji's order and immediately concealed themselves on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

Qian Xunji hid himself as well.

The jar was now set; he only had to wait for Tang Hao and Ah Yin to enter.

This time, even if you, Tang Hao, possess heaven-defying abilities, don't even think about escaping my grasp. Ah Yin will certainly be mine.

What a perfect vessel for gestation!

Xiangxiang.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin were getting closer and closer to the Star Dou Forest, neither of them discovering the danger lurking in the shadows.

The closer they got to the Star Dou Forest, the less anxious Ah Yin felt. The Star Dou Forest was her home; it would surely protect her and Brother Hao.

Tang Hao no longer felt the sensation of being watched, and the unease in his heart gradually dissipated.

They were going home.

A smile appeared on Tang Hao's face, happy that he was about to become a father.

The carriage moved slowly.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin entered Qian Xunji's encirclement.

"Hahaha, Tang Hao, Ah Yin, you have certainly made me search long and hard for you."

"Fortunately, Heaven does not disappoint those who try, and I have finally found you both."

"Today, neither you nor Ah Yin shall escape."

Qian Xunji knew there was no need to remain hidden any longer, so he stepped out while laughing heartily.

The other six elders appeared one after another.

Tang Hao's expression changed drastically, and he said in disbelief, "Qian Xunji, how did you discover our tracks? This is simply impossible!"

"You have been searching for us for seven full years."

"You couldn't find us for seven years, so why did you find us at this very moment!"

Tang Hao felt a wave of despair; with Qian Xunji included, there were eight Title Douluo present. How could he possibly escape?

"Tang Hao, you have your Clear Sky Sect to thank for this," Qian Xunji replied with a smile. "If it weren't for your own people leaking the information, I truly would not have been able to find you and Ah Yin."

"Impossible!" Tang Hao refused to believe it again. It wasn't that he doubted Tang Wei was capable of such betrayal, but rather that he didn't believe the Clear Sky Sect could have tracked them down.

He understood Tang Wei's character and knew that Tang Wei would never tolerate Ah Yin; to sever his ties, Tang Wei was capable of anything.

Therefore, ever since he decided to be with Ah Yin, he had never returned to the Clear Sky Sect, nor had he maintained any correspondence.

He had been extremely cautious all these years.

If the Martial Soul Hall hadn't discovered them, the Clear Sky Sect certainly couldn't have.

After all, compared to the Martial Soul Hall, the Clear Sky Sect's intelligence network couldn't even hold a candle to them.

Although the Clear Sky Sect had the strength to contend with the Martial Soul Hall, as the young master of the sect, how could he not know the gap between them?

Thus, Tang Hao assumed Qian Xunji was trying to sow discord, hoping to make him hate the Clear Sky Sect and his own father.

"Qian Xunji, what exactly do you want?" Tang Hao asked, knowing the answer, hoping to see if he could persuade Qian Xunji to retreat.

"What do I want?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Rumor has it you have a hundred-thousand-year-old humanoid soul beast by your side. I'd like to borrow her for a while."

"Qian Xunji, you are shameless!"

"I won't lend her to you, and Ah Yin will not leave with you!" Tang Hao refused categorically.

"Qian Xunji, give up on this idea. Even if I die, I will not be separated from Brother Hao."

"If you are willing to let us go, both Brother Hao and I will be grateful to you."

Ah Yin stepped out of the carriage, stating her firm position while hoping that Qian Xunji might spare them for the sake of the child she was about to bear.

Qian Xunji sneered disdainfully, "What is the value of your and Tang Hao's gratitude?"

"It would be far more practical if she bore me a few children."

"Qian Xunji, you are shameless!"

"What do you take Ah Yin for?"

"She is my wife!" Tang Hao was even more enraged to see Qian Xunji eyeing Ah Yin.

"What do I take her for?"

"Naturally, a soul beast, a pet!"

"A soul beast is a soul beast. Even if she has taken human form, she still reeks of soul beast to the bone."

"She does not deserve human rights!"

"If soul beasts had human rights, Tang Hao, when you killed them to take their rings and bones, why didn't I see you ask them if they were willing to be killed by you?"

Tang Hao was unable to refute this, as he could not argue against that point.

"Qian Xunji, are you not afraid that we will go down together?" For the first time, Ah Yin felt such hatred for a human. She still had one trump card, but she truly did not want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

"A Soul Douluo and a Soul Saint—do you really think you are worthy of talking about going down together with me?"

"Tang Hao, if you are sensible, hand over the Blue Silver Emperor, and I can guarantee the safety of you and your child."

"If you are unwilling, I shall take her by force. If your child is accidentally harmed in the process, you have only yourself to blame."

Qian Xunji did not move.

"In your dreams!" Tang Hao refused outright and summoned his Clear Sky Hammer.
