"Got it, but where are we going to catch him?"
Qian Renxue slapped Qian Cheng's hand away and asked excitedly.
"Heaven Dou Empire, Fasnuo Province, Sacred Soul Village!"
Qian Cheng gazed into the distance, a glint of cold light flashing through his eyes.
His chest had been pierced, yet someone could still revive him?
If his body was blown apart and his soul was thrown into my Human Emperor Banner, could he still revive his ass!
"Ancestor, how do you know about Tang Hao's situation?"
Qian Renxue stared at Qian Cheng's profile and asked curiously.
"Why does a child need to ask so many questions about grown-ups' affairs?"
Qian Cheng reached out and stroked Qian Renxue's golden hair, his face full of smiles.
"I'm already nine years old. In another three years, I'll be an adult!"
Qian Renxue puffed out her cheeks and corrected him seriously.
"That was before. You're only six now!"
Qian Cheng smiled and continued, "If we hadn't needed to deal with your soul ring, we would have already caught Tang Hao."
"Then you were looking for Grandpa. It had nothing to do with me!"
Qian Renxue blinked at Qian Cheng and climbed into the carriage first.
"Qian Daoliu? That kid is still kneeling beneath the Angel Statue. Who knows what nonsense he's up to."
Qian Cheng subconsciously sighed, once again feeling exasperated by Qian Daoliu's intelligence.
He couldn't go up Clear Sky Sect?
Couldn't he just wait at the foot of the mountain?
Kill every one who came down!
If that wasn't enough, he could simply seal off the mountain and forbid anyone from going up.
Soul Masters were people too. As long as he trapped them for a year or so and waited until they exhausted their food stores...
Then they would either come down the mountain to be killed by him or starve to death.
This method could also test Tang Chen's true condition.
After all, Clear Sky Sect was already in such a state. If Tang Chen still did not show himself, it meant he could barely protect himself.
Qian Daoliu could not think of even one solution so simple?
That intelligence.
A complete idiot!
In the southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, Fasnuo Province, Sacred Soul Village!
This village's reputation was exceptionally well-known. As for the reason, there was no need to say it aloud.
Night had fallen, and cool moonlight spilled over the village entrance like silver gauze, illuminating the mottled shadows of the houses and the silent fields.
As the village chief of Sacred Soul Village, Old Jack had countless matters to handle every day.
He had to mediate disputes between villagers, worry about buying and selling grain, and run errands delivering messages for others. He was busy beyond measure.
Jack brought five villagers to the western side of Sacred Soul Village.
There were three dilapidated mud-brick houses here, though one of them was a blacksmith shop.
Jack had naturally come to collect farming tools.
"Although that Tang Hao is a drunkard and barely takes care of his child, the farming tools he makes are truly top-quality."
A villager dressed in black linen said quietly.
"No matter how good the tools are, the man himself is useless!"
Another dark-skinned villager sneered coldly. "A grown man spends all day drinking and does not even care for his own child. Can he still be considered human?"
"Have you seen the notice Spirit Hall issued?"
A short villager suddenly lowered his voice.
"Of course we have."
"A human can sleep with a soul beast and still have offspring?"
"It sounds absurd, and the more you think about it, the more absurd it gets!"
"What exactly is something born from a human and a soul beast? A half-human, half-beast monster?"
"Maybe soul beasts are different from wild animals? Maybe their organs are different too?"
The group chimed in one after another, growing more animated as they spoke, their words filled with contempt and mockery.
The "Tang Hao" in their mouths had already been demeaned to something worse than an animal.
Just then, a tall figure slowly pushed open the mud-brick house and walked out.
"Tang Hao, you haven't been drinking today?"
Old Jack twitched his nose, but he could not smell any alcohol on Tang Hao.
"Your name is Tang Hao? That beast who slept with a soul beast actually has the same name as you!"
The dark-skinned villager spoke teasingly.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! What a coincidence!"
The short villager reacted as well.
"That Tang Hao refused to live as a proper man and insisted on becoming a beast. He got together with a soul beast and even gave birth to a half-human, half-beast monster!"
"He not only ruined himself, but dragged the entire Clear Sky Sect down with him. Everyone in the sect was slaughtered clean!"
"His father and older brother were captured by Spirit Hall and will be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts in a few days. That Tang Hao probably does not even dare show his face!"
The villagers became more excited with every word, as though they stood upon the moral high ground, pointing at a beast that had defied all human decency.
It was like throwing a stone into a pigsty. The pig that got hit would definitely squeal the loudest!
Yet they failed to notice that the fury in Tang Hao's heart had already soared to the heavens.
"Your name is Tang Hao, and his name is Tang Hao. You have a child barely half a year old, and he also has a child under one year old."
"Wouldn't you say that's quite a coincidence?"
Old Jack joined in the teasing, a smile appearing on his face.
"Do you know that Tang Hao is a Titled Douluo?"
"He is one of the strongest people in the entire world, one of those standing at the very pinnacle of this world!"
Tang Hao's voice was ice-cold, making everyone feel as though they had fallen into an icy abyss.
He was in an extremely bad mood today!
So bad that he wanted to smash several Spirit Hall Branch Halls just to calm his anger.
But his older brother and father were still in Spirit Hall's hands!
And now these lowly vermin dared to spout nonsense in front of him?
They truly did not know whether they were dead or alive. They had already chosen death!
"Hahaha, of course we don't know!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! We're just ordinary commoners. We might not see more than a few Soul Masters in our entire lives!"
The villagers still wore smiles, completely unaware of Tang Hao's killing intent.
"Since you don't know, then I'll let you see what a Titled Douluo is!"
Tang Hao expressionlessly extended his right hand.
Black light gathered in his palm, forming a massive black hammer.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
Nine soul rings rose beneath Tang Hao's feet and revolved around him.
An incomparably powerful surge of Soul Power swept outward like a hurricane, and even the air seemed to tremble.
Jack and the others shuddered uncontrollably, staring at Tang Hao before them in horror.
"Do you see the soul rings on my body?"
"The Spirit Hall stewards you usually see are at most Soul Grand Masters. In my eyes, they aren't worth as much as a dog!"
Tang Hao raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, and the soul rings around him emitted dazzling light.
His previously dispirited figure now stood as majestic as Taishan.
"Y-you... You're that Tang Hao?"
Jack's eyes widened, his face filled with terror.
"I am the beast you people were talking about, and my son is the half-human, half-beast mongrel you called a dog!"
"But there's one thing I don't understand!"
Tang Hao's eyes were filled with icy killing intent. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand slowly rose before smashing down toward a villager!
Bang!
That villager's head instantly exploded, and he died on the spot!
Scarlet blood flowed across the ground, releasing a nauseating stench.
"More than 2,400 lives of Clear Sky Sect were all slaughtered by Qian Cheng!"
"Dai Tianfeng and Xue Ye ceded three cities to save their lives. Bone Douluo was burned to ashes on the spot, while the other sects, large and small, spent money to buy their lives."
"Why was Qian Cheng not avenged? Why did they swallow their anger?"
"Because Qian Cheng is extremely powerful. So powerful that everyone fears him, so powerful that I cannot muster even the slightest thought of resistance!"
Tang Hao tilted his head at Jack, a cold, sinister killing intent rising at the corner of his mouth. "But I don't understand what you people are. What gives you the right to criticize Clear Sky Sect? What gives you the right to criticize me?"
"Respected Lord Soul Master, we spoke without thinking. We never meant it. Please spare us!"
Jack dropped to his knees and repeatedly kowtowed to Tang Hao.
"Lord Soul Master, we were wrong! We have foul mouths. Please spare our lives!"
The other villagers also fell to their knees.
"You are nothing but a bunch of lowly commoners, the lowest vermin in this world. Who gave you such courage?"
Tang Hao completely ignored their pleas. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand smashed down instantly.
Bang!
Another villager fell to the ground, his blood staining the dirt red.
"Tang Hao, during your time in Sacred Soul Village, I haven't treated you badly, have I?"
Jack suddenly raised his head and questioned Tang Hao.
"Y-yeah! When you first came to Sacred Soul Village, you could barely even afford a meal. I was the one who helped you!"
Another villager also tried to appeal to their past relationship.
"I finally understand why Qian Cheng likes to say that he's in a bad mood today, and people had better not run into him!"
Tang Hao did not respond to them at all, instead muttering to himself.
Scarlet light flickered in his pupils, and his entire state seemed to have become deranged.
"Today, you can only blame your bad luck!"
Holding the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao smashed again and again, one hammer blow after another, crushing the heads of Jack and the others.
The stench of blood spread through the air, making people nauseous.
"If you're going to do it, do it thoroughly."
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for learning my identity!"
Dragging the Clear Sky Hammer behind him, Tang Hao slowly walked toward the other parts of the village.
God Realm.
The castle of the God King of Destruction.
Five figures emanating powerful auras floated in the void, gazing down upon the mortal world with incomparably indifferent eyes.
They looked upon mortals as mortals looked upon ants.
"That person has awakened again. Two supremely powerful Rank 1 Gods were actually unable to do anything to him."
A woman dressed in a green gauze skirt was the first to break the silence.
"Chaos Law does not exist in this world, nor does this world need Chaos Law!"
The man in white robes murmured expressionlessly.
"Chaos gives birth to Taiji, Taiji transforms into Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang give rise to all things in heaven and earth. Then what would be the need for us Five God Kings?"
"Douluo Star's will is still putting up a futile struggle. It will likely take twenty-five days to erase it completely. At that time, we can descend to the mortal realm in person!"
"Twenty-five days? Then I can make use of that pawn and have him serve as our vanguard!"
The other three God Kings spoke as well.
Their opinions were the same as always: completely eliminate this variable!
The God Realm was only so large. It could not accommodate so many Gods, much less allow a mortal to stand above them.
