Tang Hao: For Ah Yin, I Will Defy the Entire Soul Master World!

Chapter 47

"I'm not stupid!" Ah Yin covered her head in pain.

Qian Xunji's lips curled slightly. "So you mean you're very smart? A transforming soul beast that hasn't reached maturity, wandering the continent with two Soul Douluo who can see through your identity at any time?"

Ah Yin's face flushed red as she shouted, "I can't go back to Spirit Hall with you so quickly!"

Displeasure surfaced in Qian Xunji's eyes. "What, are you planning to break our agreement? Then I won't have much patience left."

Ah Yin lowered her head. "No. I still don't know you well enough. I don't know whether you're lying to me like Brother Hao and Brother Xiao did. I want to practice medicine along the way before going to Spirit Hall with you."

"Fine, have it your way. Practice medicine while following me. Perhaps it'll put something into that empty head of yours."

Ever since arriving in this world, Qian Xunji had been thinking about Spirit Hall's development, going into seclusion to improve his cultivation and combat experience. He had barely rested at all. His current cultivation had reached level 95. Without relying on the Angel God Test, he would need prolonged secluded cultivation to continue breaking through. Granting Ah Yin's request could also count as taking a trip for himself.

Compared to a pitch-black secret chamber, having an empty-headed yet breathtakingly beautiful woman by his side was clearly far more relaxing.

Ah Yin pouted. "I already told you, I'm not stupid!"

Clear Sky Sect.

After several days of relentless travel, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao finally returned to the Clear Sky Sect. Without even taking a sip of water or asking anyone to announce them, they immediately rushed before Tang Zhen, who was handling affairs in the Clear Sky Sect's main hall.

"Xiao'er, Hao'er, why have you returned so soon? There's still more than a year left of your five-year training journey."

There was no reproach in Tang Zhen's tone. Instead, it was filled with satisfaction. As a Titled Douluo, he could naturally tell at a glance that Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's cultivation had improved tremendously in just over three years. Tang Hao in particular had advanced a full twelve levels.

Moreover, Tang Zhen often heard news of his two sons within the sect. The Haotian Twin Stars, two Douluo from one family—geniuses unmatched throughout the entire soul master world—had brought great glory to the Clear Sky Sect.

"Father, please save Ah Yin!" ×2

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao dropped to their knees with a thud.

Tang Zhen froze. "Ah Yin? That little girl who was traveling with you? What happened to her?"

"Father, Ah Yin was captured by Qian Xunji!"

"Foolish! Utterly foolish! Is Spirit Hall something we can provoke so casually? Didn't I tell you that Spirit Hall has Qian Daoliu? Your grandfather's whereabouts are unknown, and our Clear Sky Sect simply cannot afford to offend Spirit Hall right now!"

Upon hearing Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's words, Tang Zhen immediately assumed they had provoked Spirit Hall. Otherwise, why would Qian Xunji, the dignified Pope, leave Spirit Hall for no reason and capture a woman?

Although the Upper Three Sects were said to share a common bond—the Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan maintained close exchanges and gathered at each other's sects every year—how could an old hand like him not know that this unity was merely superficial? Unless sufficient benefits were involved, or Spirit Hall attacked without cause and sought to unify the soul master world or even the entire continent, the other two sects would not care whether the Clear Sky Sect lived or died.

"Father, Brother Hao and I didn't offend Spirit Hall. Ah Yin is our sworn sister. I... I fell in love with her. Father, please, save Ah Yin!"

Tang Xiao pleaded bitterly, finally admitting that he loved Ah Yin.

"Foolish, utterly foolish! Xiao'er, you are the young sect master of the Clear Sky Sect. How can you treat marriage so lightly? No matter how beautiful she is, she is still a commoner soul master with no background. If Qian Xunji captured her, then so be it! Let this matter go."

In Tang Zhen's view, for the sake of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao should marry women from within the sect—preferably daughters of the heads of the four affiliated clans, or gifted girls from those clans. That would deepen the relationship between the Clear Sky Sect and its four affiliated clans, binding both sides more closely together.

Tang Chen had done the same, and so had Tang Zhen. The entire soul master world was like this, strengthening families and sects through marriage alliances.

Tang Hao said, "Father, Ah Yin has Innate Full Soul Power."

"What? Innate Full Soul Power!"

Tang Zhen's attitude instantly took a complete turn. Geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power were exceedingly rare; it was already remarkable for a generation to produce one or two. With even a little cultivation, such a genius would surely become a Titled Douluo. The value brought by a single Titled Douluo far surpassed that of one of the four affiliated clans.

Furthermore, children could inherit their parents' talents. If Tang Xiao joined with Ah Yin, their future children would also be geniuses—future Titled Douluo. That would mean the Clear Sky Sect would have Titled Douluo overseeing it for the next two hundred years. How could Tang Zhen not be tempted?

Tang Zhen slammed his palm on the table. "I'll contact the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan right away. The Upper Three Sects will join forces and pressure Spirit Hall into releasing Ah Yin!"

A genius with Innate Full Soul Power, a future Titled Douluo—Spirit Hall had captured her without any excuse. What if disciples from the other two sects encountered a gifted young woman with Innate Full Soul Power while training outside, only for Spirit Hall to take her away as well?

That reason was enough to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan help the Clear Sky Sect.

"Thank you, Father!"

Smiles finally appeared on Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's faces.

"Father... Ah Yin is actually a transforming soul beast."

Tang Xiao hesitated for a long while before speaking. Tang Zhen, who was writing letters, heard this and dropped his brush. His eyes widened as he began coughing violently. "Cough, cough... cough."

"Unfilial sons! Unfilial sons! Are you trying to anger me to death?"

Tang Zhen was so furious that he nearly spat out blood. In these few short minutes, his emotions had swung more wildly than at any time in his life, perhaps except when Tang Chen had left. Falling in love with a transforming soul beast, joining with a transforming soul beast—were they trying to make the entire Clear Sky Sect enemies of the soul master world?

After coughing for quite some time, Tang Zhen waved his hand wearily. "Xiao'er, Hao'er, stop thinking about Ah Yin. Whether in strength or righteousness, we have no grounds to stand on."

Tang Hao shouted emotionally, "Father, why not? Why not? Is it just because Ah Yin is a transforming soul beast? So what if Ah Yin is a transforming soul beast? Once she reaches maturity, she'll be a true human!"

Seeing that Tang Hao also seemed to have fallen for Ah Yin, Tang Zhen said in utter exhaustion, "Hao'er, if you truly join with a transforming soul beast, Spirit Hall can claim the moral high ground and rally the entire soul master world to destroy our Clear Sky Sect in the name of betraying humanity and consorting with soul beasts."

"Our Clear Sky Sect may be the number one sect under heaven, but against the entire soul master world, with your grandfather gone, we would be utterly helpless! Are you going to doom the thousands of people in our Clear Sky Sect for this so-called love?"

As a devoted sect man, Tang Hao naturally did not want to see that happen. He would rather sacrifice Ah Yin than allow it, but he keenly caught one piece of information.

"Father, are you saying that as long as I possess Grandfather's strength, then it's possible?"

Tang Zhen's eyes shifted as he heard this. "That's right, Hao'er. As long as you have your grandfather's strength—or even surpass him—you can do whatever you want in the soul master world. No one will dare interfere with you."

Tang Hao was filled with fighting spirit, blazing flames burning in his steadfast eyes. "Then I'll surpass Grandfather! I'll save Ah Yin!"

Tang Zhen said, "Hao'er, Ah Yin is a 100,000 Year transforming soul beast. A 100,000 Year Soul Ring and soul bone are incomparably precious. Spirit Hall will never easily give them to someone else. The person most likely to receive that soul ring would be the next generation of the Qian Family. Qian Xunji has not yet married, and even if his descendants inherit Qian Xunji's talent, it will still take more than forty years for them to break through to Titled Douluo."

Tang Hao said coldly, "Forty years is enough! Within forty years, I'll definitely reach Grandfather's cultivation and take Ah Yin back! Whoever dares hurt Ah Yin, I'll wipe out their entire family! Even if the entire soul master world wants to harm Ah Yin, I, Tang Hao, will stand alone against the entire soul master world!!"
