After doing all this, Tai Yi said to Qian Renxue beside him,
"Xue'er, let's go back and find Grandpa and the others."
Then Tai Yi looked at the ashes on the ground and continued regretfully,
"It's a pity Tang San got away. Let's go back and make sure Tang Hao doesn't escape too."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded. Having personally gotten rid of Yu Xiaogang, she felt as though every lingering knot in her heart had been untied.
For Qian Renxue, it would be even better if she returned to find Tang Hao dead as well.
Before long, Qian Renxue and Tai Yi returned to Shrek Academy. By now, all the villagers had been cleared out. There were only six people left in the entire academy: Tang Hao, beaten to the point that he could not move and lying on the ground; Qian Daoliu, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo standing nearby; and Golden Crocodile Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo, who had only just arrived.
As Qian Renxue and Tai Yi arrived, Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke to Qian Renxue.
"Xiao Xue, come and see. Your father's killer, Spirit Hall's enemy, has finally been captured. We'll get rid of him soon."
Qian Renxue and Tai Yi naturally saw Tang Hao on the ground. Having used Ring Detonation to trade for power, he had clearly suffered backlash and fallen into a weakened state. Covered in wounds, he glared at everyone present.
The next moment, Tang Hao saw Qian Renxue and Tai Yi return. He immediately realized that they had gone after his son.
For a moment, Tang Hao tried to discern Tang San's fate from their expressions.
But as Tang Hao stared at them, Qian Renxue's eyes contained only hatred and a trace of disgust. Tai Yi, meanwhile, guessed what Tang Hao was thinking.
The next second, Tai Yi loudly said to Qian Daoliu,
"Grandpa, don't worry. Tang Hao's son was only a Soul Elder. Although he somehow learned a few Hidden Weapons, how could he have been a match for Xue'er and me? Those tricks were child's play. I broke his hands, tortured him for a while, then killed him. Even his corpse was burned to ashes."
Tai Yi had deliberately said this so Tang Hao, already on the verge of death, would suffer even more upon hearing it and die with his eyes wide open.
And just as Tai Yi had expected, Tang Hao became agitated upon hearing those words. Dragging his battered body, he glared furiously at Tai Yi. If looks could kill, Tai Yi would have died countless times by now.
Then Qian Renxue looked at Tang Hao and said to Qian Daoliu,
"Grandpa, kill Tang Hao. Out of sight, out of mind."
To strike Tang Hao again, Tai Yi also said to Qian Daoliu,
"Grandpa, just get rid of Tang Hao. Let him reunite with his wife and son in the Underworld."
After saying that, Tai Yi took out Ah Yin's reborn body, which he had dug up from behind the waterfall on the back mountain of Holy Soul Village, from his Storage Ring. He then tossed it toward Tang Hao on the ground.
Then he said to Tang Hao,
"Don't say Spirit Hall is heartless, Tang Hao. You should recognize this Blue Silver Emperor's body. In a moment, you can watch it die with you."
Seeing the Blue Silver Emperor vine Tai Yi had thrown over and the golden lines upon it, Tang Hao recognized it as his wife, Ah Yin.
Tang Hao became even more enraged. He had never imagined that, after placing his wife's seed behind the waterfall on Holy Soul Village's back mountain and even using her Spirit Bone to help it grow better, he would see it again at the very end of his life.
The next second, Tang Hao clenched the Blue Silver Emperor's body tightly, glared at Tai Yi with a face full of rage, and roared,
"You killed Ah Yin! You killed Ah Yin! I'll kill you! I'll make you pay!"
As he spoke, Tang Hao tried to rush at Tai Yi, but how could his body, ruined by Ring Detonation, still possess such strength?
The only reason Tang Hao had survived until now was because Qian Daoliu had not wanted to kill him immediately. Qian Daoliu and the others had wanted to wait for Qian Renxue to return so she could witness Tang Hao's death herself.
That was why they had not killed Tang Hao yet, even intervening at critical moments to keep him alive.
Now that Qian Renxue and Tai Yi had returned, Qian Daoliu and the others naturally had no reason to preserve Tang Hao's life any longer.
Moreover, Tang Hao still wanted to attack Tai Yi. The next second, Qian Daoliu struck directly. An attack flew toward Tang Hao on the ground, and with Tang Hao's scream, one of his hands was severed by Qian Daoliu.
Seeing this, Tai Yi could not help but sigh. As expected of grandfather and grandson—when it came to torturing people, they used the same methods.
The attacks that followed continued to sever Tang Hao's limbs, turning him into a human stump. In the end, Tang Hao became just like Yu Xiaogang had been in Qian Renxue's hands.
The next moment, as they looked at Tang Hao lying in a pool of blood, the several worshippers felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Finally, Qian Daoliu looked at the man on the ground, the indirect culprit behind his son Qian Xunji's death. Qian Daoliu no longer held back and directly severed Tang Hao's head with a single strike. Tang Hao then lost his life amid the double agony of mind and body.
Qian Daoliu then gave Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo a look. The two understood his meaning and quickly came to Tang Hao's mangled corpse, extracting all the Spirit Bones from his body, including the inherited Spirit Bones of the Clear Sky Sect.
After putting away those Spirit Bones, Qian Daoliu prepared to lead everyone back to Spirit City. Along the way, they could settle scores with the two great empires, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Seeing this, Tai Yi looked again at Tang Hao's corpse on the ground. Afraid that some unforeseen force might interfere, he completed his self-possession the next second and used Sun True Fire to give Tang Hao's corpse the same treatment as Tang San's left arm.
He ground the bones and scattered the ashes. Only after Tang Hao's ashes were blown away by the wind did Tai Yi nod in satisfaction. This completely cut off any possibility of Tang Hao's resurrection.
Only then did Tai Yi follow Qian Daoliu away from Shrek Academy. At the same time, he wondered why he had not seen any sign of Xiao Wu when he arrived at Shrek Academy, nor found her while chasing Tang San. Where had that rabbit run off to?
