Tang Hao Was Worse Than a Beast as a Father; Tang San of the Tang Sect Possessed the Child, and Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin Turned Dark

Although he had said his goodbyes and given Yu Xiaogang his instructions, Tang Hao didn't leave right away.

Only after Tang San had fused his first Lone Bamboo Soul Ring and Tang Hao had confirmed that he was settling in well at the academy did he slip away without a sound.

Tang Hao nodded inwardly. This was a very sensible arrangement. If Yu Xiaogang dared mistreat his son, Tang Hao wouldn't care whether he belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Bug Clan.

Xiao Wuji hadn't written himself into a muddle yet. He remembered that Xiao Chenyu, the son of Nuoding City's lord, still had a part to play. Since Xiao Chenyu was connected to Tang Hao, Xiao Wuji naturally couldn't let him leave just like that.

Seeing that Tang Hao showed no unusual reaction, Xiao Wuji paused his update for a while, hurriedly finished writing a new opening, and then sent it to Ah Yin.

Ever since her Sacrifice, Tang Hao had planted Ah Yin in a hidden cave. By his rough estimate, she had been there for more than six years. She was a Soul Beast even weaker than that Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo.

After Ah Yin's Sacrifice, she had relied on the highest profundity of the Blue Silver Domain. Her human body had been destroyed, and her cultivation had been lost, but she hadn't died.

Normally, if the seed she left behind had been planted among the Blue Silver clan, then as a Soul Beast of an unusual kind, with experience as both a beast and a human, she shouldn't have ended up like this.

But she had lost all means of defending herself. Being planted in that hidden cave was extremely safe, though there were pros and cons to everything.

Inside the cave's stone chamber, about ten square meters in size, a slender Blue Silver Grass swayed in the breeze atop a small mound of earth.

The Blue Silver Grass looked a little longer than ordinary blades of grass. Most unusual were the fine golden lines on its leaves. It was none other than the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.

Suddenly, blue light flashed through the quiet stone chamber. A beam of light descended from above and shot straight into the Blue Silver Emperor.

With nothing to do all day in the stone chamber, Ah Yin spent her time worrying about her husband and son. When a foreign object suddenly pierced into her soul, she jolted violently.

Revenge of the Blue Silver Emperor was released, and an image of Ah Yin, one of Xiao Wuji's readers, immediately appeared before him.

Her true body was merely a young Blue Silver Emperor, but her soul took the form of a mature, beautiful woman.

A blue-and-gold gown covered her from head to toe, its lavish elegance complementing her otherworldly beauty. Her deep blue eyes were flawless as sapphires, and her whole bearing held an enchanting grace, as if heaven and earth had poured their finest essence into her.

"Revenge of the Blue Silver Emperor?!" Ah Yin saw the title of the book appear in her soul and felt both surprise and delight.

"The Spirit Hall forced me to sacrifice myself not long after I gave birth. This grudge—I must avenge it, whether it takes a thousand years or ten thousand." Ah Yin's voice was resolute. Then she sighed. "Alas, by then, Ah Hao was already gone..."

Xiao Wuji watched, secretly amused. The contents were sure to shock her.

[As a father, Tang Hao was worse than a beast. The child had been possessed by Tang San of the Tang Sect.

Upon learning this, the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin burned with fury and would stop at nothing to take revenge.

As she pursued her revenge, her strength grew ever greater, until she ultimately cultivated into a god.]

"What?!" Ah Yin was outraged. She was shocked by the book's contents and couldn't believe them. "How could things... how could things be like this..."

She wanted to reject it outright, but had no way to prove that it was false. The cave had been silent for years; if this were the work of a person, there should have been some sign. And yet the power had reached directly into her soul. If it were a divine miracle, that explanation at least made some sense.

Ah Yin hesitated for a moment. She had absolutely nothing to do here, and what the book described was so shocking that she couldn't help itching to read on and see the details.

[Chapter 1: Bad News for Ah Yin]

[Footsteps echoed through the quiet cave as a young man slowly entered. He looked around in wonder at the stone chamber behind the waterfall, then fixed his gaze on the only plant inside.

"This Blue Silver Grass is quite peculiar." The young man clicked his tongue and shook his head. "These days, even a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul can come with Innate Full Soul Power. It just goes to show that the world is vast and full of wonders."]

"Ah, that's my son!" Ah Yin cried out in surprise.

If she had awakened her son's Martial Soul herself, she could have awakened him directly to the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul. But ordinary human Soul Masters lacked that ability, so it would manifest as the Trash Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, despite his having the top-tier talent of Innate Full Soul Power.

After her initial shock, Ah Yin suddenly realized that more than six years had passed. Her son hadn't died at the hands of the Spirit Hall, and his Martial Soul had already awakened.

This should have been wonderful news, but the terrible introduction at the very beginning made Ah Yin's heart sink lower and lower.

Ah Yin kept reading, and her heart plunged straight into the abyss.

Putting together what the young man had said, she could more or less guess what had happened after her Sacrifice.

Tang Hao had escaped the Spirit Hall's pursuit with his child and hidden in Holy Soul Village, where he became a blacksmith.

He was one of the three greatest blacksmiths of the age, and his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was the most suitable for blacksmithing. Becoming a blacksmith in the village should have suited him perfectly.

But according to the young man, Tang Hao drank heavily, and if not for the village chief, Old Jack, helping them out, his son Tang San would have starved to death long ago. What's more, Tang San had been cooking for Tang Hao since the age of four. Tang Hao was nothing but a beast of a father.

Up to this point, Ah Yin could understand.

Tang Hao's father had been angered to death by what had happened between them. The Clear Sky Sect had been denounced by the Spirit Hall. And that wasn't all: on the very day his child was born, his wife had sacrificed herself. The blows had come one after another, and they had been too much to bear.

But when the young man said that Tang San had fused a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo Soul Ring, Ah Yin's heart broke.

Soul Rings were crucial to Soul Masters; they shaped a Soul Master's entire life.

There was no need to mention Tang Hao's strength being enough to kill Soul Beasts a thousand or ten thousand years old. Even a few words of advice about Martial Souls would have benefited the child for a lifetime.

"How could he do this!" Ah Yin trembled with rage. If she had known it would come to this, it would have been cleaner to die at the hands of the Spirit Hall together.

Xiao Wuji smiled. "Eighteen Lone Bamboo Soul Rings to save his wife and mother. That must be a touching story."

After stewing in anger for a while, Ah Yin continued reading.

[The young man had no idea that every word he'd said had been heard by Ah Yin. In truth, she was a Blue Silver Emperor who had sacrificed herself and was now regenerating and growing. Her heart seethed with rage.

After sitting for a while, the young man got up to leave. But he accidentally touched a mechanism in the stone wall, and a black box dropped from above.

A loud bang startled the young man.

He went over and opened it, then looked inside in delight. There was a Soul Bone in the box, and it appeared to be of extraordinary quality. He immediately began fusing with it.]

[As the young man fused with the Soul Bone, Ah Yin learned what had happened to Tang Hao and her child. The news was especially grim, and she could no longer stay there.

She thought it over repeatedly and decided to guide the young man toward the Blue Silver King. With the Blue Silver King's help, she could search for more information.

If the story was false, she could take the opportunity to eliminate this Spirit Hall lackey and reclaim the Soul Bone. If it was true, then the young man could gain power and become her greatest weapon of revenge.]
