The Tang Family's Inescapable Fate of Love Between Humans and Soul Beasts
Tang Hao's eyes held an extremely complex mix of emotions.
There was resentment, there was pain, and even more so, there was endless murderous intent.
A very, very long time passed.
Tang Hao slowly revealed the truth in a deep, booming voice.
Your mother's name Ah Yin.
"She is not an ordinary human Soul Master at all; she is... Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor in Transformation."
"What?!"
These words struck Tang San like a thunderbolt.
Tang San shuddered.
"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in Transformation?"
"Mom is... like Xiao Wu?"
Tang Hao nodded expressionlessly.
"..."
The cave was deathly silent.
Only the water droplets constantly dripping from the cave ceiling made a crisp sound as they hit the rocks.
Tick-tock... tick-tock...
Tang San sat there blankly, his mind reeling with a tidal wave of emotions.
His own father married a 100,000-year-old plant Soul Beast.
And yet, he himself had fallen in love with a 100,000-year-old animal Soul Beast.
Is this the fate of the Tang Family?
Are this father and son destined to be entangled with Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
Tang Hao leaned slowly against the stone wall and began to recount those past events that had been buried by time.
"Back then, your mother Transformation a human and came to the human world."
"Your uncle and I were traveling on the mainland when we met and fell in love with her by chance."
"We had one of the happiest times of our lives."
At this point, a smile that Tang San had never seen before inadvertently appeared on Tang Hao's lips, but it quickly turned into anger.
But the good times didn't last long.
"Those bastards from the Spirit Hall have discovered your mother's true identity."
"The previous Pope led several Titled Douluo in a pursuit and interception of us."
"That battle plunged the heavens and earth into darkness."
"I tried my best, but I couldn't get her out of the encirclement."
"In the final, desperate situation, your mother chose to sacrifice herself to save me and to save you, who had just been born."
At this point, Tang Hao's voice became extremely hoarse.
"She sacrificed herself for me, becoming my ninth Soul Ring after 100,000 years."
"That's what saved our lives."
"After the sacrifice, she lost all her cultivation, leaving behind only a seed of the most primitive Blue Silver Grass."
"I took you and we escaped to Holy Soul Village."
"The seed was secretly planted on the back mountain of Holy Soul Village."
Tang San listened quietly.
His eyes gradually reddened.
There were even tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.
His hands were clenched tightly, and the veins on his arms bulged.
It turns out that his mother was Soul Beast.
It turns out that the mother paid such a terrible price to protect the father and son.
So... Mom has actually been alive all along...
Tang San's voice trembled violently.
"Has she been with us in Holy Soul Village all these years?"
"Yes and no."
Tang Hao responded with a complicated expression.
"Ah Yin is now just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, without any awakened consciousness."
"I planted her in a natural cave inside the waterfall behind Holy Soul Village."
"It's extremely well-hidden; in theory, no one should be able to find it."
"But when I rushed back this time, the waterfall cave inside had already been violently destroyed."
"Your mother's true form has vanished without a trace."
"Not only that, but the 100,000 -Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone that your mother left behind after her sacrifice was also looted."
"Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, only the Spirit Hall can use such methods to pinpoint that exact location!"
Upon hearing this...
Tang San could no longer suppress his anger and killing intent.
Damn it!
He rose abruptly from the ground.
Two streams of hot tears rolled down her still somewhat childish cheeks.
But at that moment, his eyes turned incredibly ferocious.
The teachings of the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record from his previous life flashed wildly through his mind.
Anyone who offends the Tang Sect has already met their demise.
The Spirit Hall's actions have completely crossed his line.
They kidnapped her mother, stole her Soul Bone, and forced Xiao Wu to wander far away, her fate unknown.
This is a blood feud!
This is an irreconcilable feud!
"The Spirit Hall!"
"That damned Spirit Hall again!"
Tang San roared to the sky, his voice almost tearing apart.
"They're the ones who drove Xiao Wu away!"
"They were the ones who kidnapped my mother and stole her Soul Bone!"
"They destroyed my home!"
"You destroyed everything I had!"
Tang San suddenly looked ahead, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
"I, Tang San, hereby swear an oath today!"
"In my lifetime, I will surely raze the Spirit Hall to the ground!"
"And I won't let a single one of the Spirit Hall's lackeys escape!"
"I will make them pay for their crimes in blood!"
"Those who have already chosen the path to death cannot be saved even by gods!"
Tang Hao sat on the stone bench, looking at his son whose eyes were red.
That look in his eyes was filled with a frenzied hatred, endless pain, and an obsession with his mother and lover.
Tang Hao seemed to see himself in this young man, the one who once wielded the Clear Sky Hammer and single-handedly challenged the Spirit Hall.
This is Tang Hao's son!
This is the backbone that the Clear Sky Sect should have!
Tang Hao's withered lips moved slightly, and he slowly uttered a single word. "Okay."
Tang Hao slowly stood up.
"Dad, where are you going?"
Seeing Tang Hao about to leave, Tang San hurriedly chased after him, asking what was wrong. Tang Hao replied, "I'm going to find out where your mother is."
Without turning his head, Tang Hao said, "While we're at it, let's search for the whereabouts of that 100,000-year-old rabbit and see if we can find her."
"As for the Little San, you're not powerful enough yet."
Tang San bit his lower lip hard, even drawing bright red blood.
He did not refute it.
Because he knew very well that every word his father said was a cruel truth.
Right now, I'm just a Soul Elder in my thirties.
In the face of the true top powerhouses of the continent, they are not even ants.
If he were to encounter Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall, he would be of no use whatsoever except to throw his life away.
Weakness is the original sin.
In the Douluo Continent, where strength reigns supreme, without power, one doesn't even have the right to protect their loved ones.
"Wait for me to come back."
Tang Hao stopped and turned to look at Tang San.
"Once I've gathered all the intelligence outside, I'll come back to you and train you personally."
Tang Hao's eyes revealed an unprecedented solemnity and coldness.
"If you really want to avenge your mother, find that 100,000-year-old rabbit that was forced away, and trample the Spirit Hall under your feet."
"Then risk your life for me."
"Practice like crazy, improve your strength like crazy."
"In this world, without strength, your anger is like a clown's performance, utterly meaningless."
"Did you understand?"
Tang San raised his hand and wiped away the tears on his face.
He straightened his back.
It overflows with a ruthless and decisive spirit born from years of hardship.
He will transform into a Asura fully unleashed by hatred.
"Dad, don't worry."
I will definitely not let you down.
I will do everything in my power to become stronger.
"I possess Twin Martial Souls, and I will cultivate both to their fullest potential."
"When I am strong enough, I will personally collect all the blood debts that the Spirit Hall owes my father and me."
"I will make the entire Papal Hall pay for my mother and Xiao Wu's deaths."
Tang Hao stared at Tang San for a very long time, seemingly trying to confirm the determination in his son's eyes.
Finally, Tang Hao nodded almost imperceptibly.
He uttered a weighty three-word promise.
I believe you.
After saying that.
Tang Hao didn't hesitate any longer and strode out of the cave.
His tall and weathered figure slowly disappeared into the thick morning mist after the rain.
It eventually disappeared completely.
