The Group Leader's Identity Exposed! A Yin's Choice!

Inside the Chat Group.

A Yin's message immediately drew everyone's attention.

Little Witch: [Has someone found Sister A Yin?]

Little Witch: [Is it safe there?]

Her Holiness the Pope: [Anyone who can call you the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor clearly knows your identity.]

I Have No Mother: [Don't expose the Chat Group yet.]

Poison Fairy: [The group leader must know who that person is.]

Mute Little Sister: [Sister A Yin, are there any other Blue Silver Grass nearby?]

Mute Little Sister: [Can you use your martial soul to send a message?]

Inside the cave.

The Blue Silver Grass leaves swayed gently.

Chen Feng sat down beside the stone basin without touching A Yin's true body.

Group Leader: [Don't worry.]

Group Leader: [The person entering the cave won't hurt A Yin.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [Does the group leader know him?]

Group Leader: [I do.]

Group Leader: [His name is Chen Feng.]

The Blue Silver Grass slowly unfurled.

A thread of blue-gold radiance fell upon the white robes, as though confirming his identity.

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [Chen Feng of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?]

Little Witch: [How did Brother Chen Feng find Sister A Yin?]

Poison Fairy: [Chen Feng should be hunting for his fifth Soul Ring.]

Poison Fairy: [Could the place where A Yin is be within the Soul Beast Mountains?]

Her Holiness the Pope: [Tang Hao actually planted his own wife in a cave frequented by soul beasts.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [Is this what the Haotian Douluo calls protection?]

The Blue Silver Grass leaves paused slightly.

From the earlier conversation, A Yin had already learned part of Tang San and Tang Hao's future.

Still, she retained a measure of trust in the man who had accompanied her for so many years.

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [Hao hid me here to avoid Spirit Hall.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [Though this place is dark, it is very well hidden.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [The Blue Silver Emperor needs sunlight and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [In a cave like this, even ordinary Blue Silver Grass can barely grow.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [If Tang Hao truly wished for your resurrection, why didn't he send you back to the Blue Silver Forest?]

A Yin did not answer immediately.

Most of the nutrients in the soil inside the stone basin had already been depleted.

Its roots could only absorb faint moisture from the cracks in the rocks.

After all these years, its true body still had only a few blades of grass.

At this rate, even after another ten thousand years, it might not be able to take human form again.

Chen Feng looked at the slender Blue Silver Grass and opened the system's records of the past.

"Now that A Yin has been found."

"It's time for her to see with her own eyes what Tang Hao did."

Group Leader: [A Yin.]

Group Leader: [Whether Tang Hao was protecting you or using you, you will understand after watching this record.]

A video titled "The Full Story of the Blue Silver Emperor's Sacrifice" was sent to the Chat Group.

All the group members opened it at once.

Within the screen.

A Yin had just given birth to Tang San, and her face was deathly pale.

Tang Hao carried the child as he hurried along the official road with his wife.

In the distance.

The tracking marks left by Spirit Hall soul masters had already appeared one after another.

A Yin stopped.

"Hao, we can't keep following the official road."

"The Blue Silver Forest isn't far from here."

"As long as we return to our clan's territory, the Blue Silver King can use our countless clansmen to conceal my aura."

Tang Hao glanced at the child in his arms.

"We can't go to the Blue Silver Forest."

"Spirit Hall is still pursuing us from behind."

"If we change our route, it will delay our return to the Clear Sky Sect."

A Yin said softly,

"My origin has just been weakened by childbirth. I can't fight now."

"The Clear Sky Sect may not be willing to wage an all-out war against Spirit Hall for my sake."

Tang Hao's expression darkened.

"I'm a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect."

"The sect can't possibly abandon me."

"Keep moving."

The scene swiftly changed.

Tang Hao did not head for the Blue Silver Forest.

Following a route that Spirit Hall could track, the three of them entered a valley flanked by sheer cliffs.

Qian Xunji led Spirit Hall's experts and completely sealed off both ends of the valley.

A Yin held the child in her arms, with nowhere left to retreat.

Little Witch: [Sister A Yin clearly suggested returning to the Blue Silver Forest.]

Little Witch: [Why did Tang Hao refuse?]

Poison Fairy: [There are sheer cliffs on both sides.]

Poison Fairy: [No matter how you look at it, this route doesn't resemble an escape route.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [As the heir of the Clear Sky Sect, there's no way he couldn't understand terrain like this.]

The footage continued.

Spirit Hall's experts launched their attack.

Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer, blocking several Soul Douluo in succession.

A Yin had just given birth, and her origin was extremely weak.

Each time she used soul power, her face grew a shade paler.

Qian Xunji held the Angel Sacred Sword as he arrived above them.

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor."

"Hand over your Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and I can let this child live."

Tang Hao tightened his grip on the Clear Sky Hammer.

"A Yin."

"I'm only at rank eighty-nine now."

"With just one Soul Ring, I can enter the realm of Titled Douluo."

A Yin stared blankly at her husband.

"Hao, what are you saying?"

Tang Hao did not turn back.

"As long as I become a Titled Douluo, I can take Little San and leave this place."

"If we keep dragging this out, all three of us will die."

Before the light screen.

The Blue Silver Grass leaves shook violently.

The lost memories of the past resurfaced at this moment.

Before the sacrifice, Tang Hao had indeed said those words.

But at the time, the situation had been too dire for A Yin to think deeply about them.

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [Hao had already been waiting for me to sacrifice myself...]

Her Holiness the Pope: [Rank eighty-nine.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [And his wife just happened to be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [What an interesting coincidence.]

I Have No Mother: [Tang Hao clearly knew that A Yin was extremely weak after giving birth.]

I Have No Mother: [Yet he refused to go to the Blue Silver Forest and instead deliberately walked into a dead end.]

I Have No Mother: [His purpose is already very clear.]

Red light in the scene covered the entire valley.

A Yin chose to sacrifice herself.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring descended upon Tang Hao.

A blue-gold right leg Soul Bone was also taken in by the power of the Clear Sky Hammer.

Tang Hao successfully broke through to Titled Douluo.

The Great Sumeru Hammer crashed down.

Qian Xunji suffered grave injuries.

The remaining Spirit Hall soul masters could only swiftly retreat with their pope.

The scene changed once again.

Tang Hao returned to Holy Soul Village with the seed left behind by the Blue Silver Emperor.

The Blue Silver Forest was not far from there.

Yet Tang Hao did not go.

The Blue Silver Emperor's seed was placed in a stone basin and brought into the cave behind the waterfall.

Only a few rays of sunlight entered the cave.

The soil was barren.

The energy of heaven and earth was even scarcer.

Tang Hao set down the stone basin and raised his hand to place a seal.

"A Yin."

"No one will be able to find you here."

After saying that, Tang Hao left the cave carrying Tang San.

One year.

Two years.

Five years.

Ten years.

The waterfall outside the cave never ceased.

Yet Tang Hao never returned even once.

The Blue Silver Emperor's true body struggled to grow, but it never reached the height of a palm.

Loves Carrots: [After all these years, Tang Hao never went back even once?]

My Cat Is White and Big: [It's not that he couldn't go back.]

My Cat Is White and Big: [He simply didn't want to.]

Ice Snow Princess: [Planting a plant-type soul beast in a place like this.]

Ice Snow Princess: [Rather than protection, it would be more accurate to call it cutting off any possibility of resurrection.]

The video had not yet ended.

The scene moved to a forest several years later.

Tang Hao took out the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone and placed it before Tang San.

"Little San."

"This is the Soul Bone your mother left for you."

"After absorbing it, you will gain powerful restorative abilities."

Tang San accepted the Soul Bone.

"Dad, can Mom still be resurrected?"

Tang Hao fell silent for a moment.

"Think about such things after you've become strong enough."

"For now, increasing your strength is what matters most."

The image froze on the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone in Tang San's hands.

Inside the cave.

The slender Blue Silver Grass finally drooped its leaves.

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [So that's how it was.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [Hao never intended to resurrect me.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [My Soul Ring helped Hao break through to become a Titled Douluo.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [My Soul Bone was to be left for Little San to increase his strength.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [As for my true body, it could only remain trapped in this sunless cave.]

Little Witch: [Sister A Yin, don't believe them anymore.]

Poison Fairy: [In the Tang Family father and son's eyes, a relative's worth is nothing more than Soul Rings and Soul Bones.]

Fragrant Fox: [Tang Hao kept claiming that he loved you.]

Fragrant Fox: [Yet after truly obtaining the Soul Ring, he was unwilling to even come visit you.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [Hypocritical.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [When I hunt soul beasts, at least I never use love as a deception.]

I Have No Mother: [If that man truly loved you, he should have sent you back to the Blue Silver Forest.]

I Have No Mother: [Instead of planting you in a place like this and waiting for you to slowly wither away.]

The Blue Silver Grass leaves pressed against the edge of the stone basin.

The pale golden patterns gradually lost their luster.

Chen Feng extended a finger.

A wisp of Azure Lotus Soul Power fell into the soil.

Pure life energy flowed along the roots and into the Blue Silver Emperor's true body.

The drooping leaves rose once more.

Through the perception of the Blue Silver Grass, A Yin saw the person before her clearly.

His white robes were immaculate.

The Azure Lotus Sword hung at his side.

Golden-green lotus patterns slowly flowed across it.

Even the entire cave seemed to gain a little more vitality from that wisp of soul power.

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [Chen Feng.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [Thank you for finding this place.]

Inside the cave.

Chen Feng pressed his palm against the edge of the stone basin.

Azure Lotus Soul Power continuously seeped into the soil.

A Yin's roots slowly unfurled.

The blue-gold radiance was several times brighter than before.

Within the Chat Group.

Everyone was still denouncing Tang Hao.

Chen Feng did not continue participating.

What A Yin needed most right now was not a few words of comfort.

This Blue Silver Emperor had to leave the cave as soon as possible.

The Icefire Yin-Yang Well was rich in heaven and earth energy.

There were also several Immortal Herbs in the medicinal garden that could replenish the source of life.

As long as A Yin was transplanted there, her recovery speed could increase by at least a thousandfold.

A Blue Silver Grass leaf touched Chen Feng's finger.

A Yin opened a private chat interface with the group master.

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [Group Master, why did he come here?]

Chen Feng looked at the message in the private chat.

Group Master: [I was originally searching for my fifth Soul Ring.]

Group Master: [While tracking a Golden-Plumed Sword Eagle, I sensed the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [So that was it.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [Group Master, you always said that someone in reality would help the group members.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [The person who helped Dugu Yan was Chen Feng.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [And now, the person who found me is still Chen Feng.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [What exactly is the relationship between Chen Feng and you, Group Master?]

Chen Feng fell silent for a moment.

He had concealed his identity as the group master until now and had not planned to reveal it so early.

But A Yin's situation was quite special.

If he wanted to take her away, he had to earn her trust.

Chen Feng raised his hand.

A golden Chat Group Master Mark slowly appeared in his palm.

Group Master: [Look at the person in front of you.]

The Blue Silver Grass leaves slowly lifted.

That golden mark was exactly the same as the group master emblem in the Chat Group.

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [You...]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [You're the Group Master?]

Chen Feng nodded lightly.

"That's right."

"I'm the master of the Chat Group."

"And I'm Chen Feng."

The cave remained quiet for a long time.

Several Blue Silver Grass leaves wrapped around Chen Feng's fingers at once.

The movement was very gentle.

It was as though she were confirming that everything before her was not an illusion.

At this moment, every doubt in A Yin's heart was resolved.

Why the group master knew Chen Feng so well.

Why the group master could always arrange for Chen Feng to help the group members.

And why the knowledge of Immortal Herbs at the Icefire Yin-Yang Well could be put into practice through Chen Feng's hands.

Because from beginning to end.

The group master and Chen Feng had always been the same person.

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [So the Chen Feng everyone has been discussing is Group Master.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [I won't tell anyone this secret.]

Chen Feng put away the mark in his palm.

"Do you believe me now?"

The Blue Silver Grass leaves nodded gently.

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [I believe you.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [Group Master, you let me see Tang Hao for who he truly was.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [You also let Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and the others change their original futures.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [If I can't even trust you, Group Master, then A Yin doesn't know who else she can trust.]

Chen Feng raised his hand and lifted the stone basin.

"I'll take you to the Icefire Yin-Yang Well."

"It has an environment suitable for the Blue Silver Emperor to grow."

"With the Immortal Herbs and the Chat Group's power, it won't be long before you can take human form again."

Yet the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around the edge of the stone basin and did not respond immediately.

Pale golden radiance continuously rose from its leaves.

Chen Feng's brows twitched slightly.

An incomparably vast source of soul beast power was actually still hidden within A Yin.

This source had remained completely dormant under normal circumstances.

Only after coming into contact with the Chat Group Master Mark did it truly awaken.

A system prompt appeared immediately after.

[Group member detected: Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor A Yin.]

[The Blue Silver Emperor once completed a sacrifice. Her Soul Ring and Soul Bone were occupied by an outsider.]

[The Chat Group has continuously nourished her soul source and has already helped the Blue Silver Emperor recondense a hundred-thousand-year foundation.]

[The group member may voluntarily initiate a sacrifice.]

[The Chat Group will protect the group member's soul, preserving the Blue Silver Emperor's true body and consciousness.]

[After the sacrifice is complete, A Yin will not truly die.]

Looking at the prompts before him, Chen Feng finally understood.

After A Yin joined the Chat Group, her soul had constantly been nourished by its power.

What Tang Hao had obtained were merely the Soul Ring and Soul Bone formed from that sacrifice long ago.

The most fundamental life mark belonging to the Blue Silver Emperor still remained within A Yin's true body.

After being repaired by the Chat Group, this source had once again reached the hundred-thousand-year level.

The radiance released by the Blue Silver Grass grew stronger and stronger.

The entire cave was illuminated by blue-gold light.

"A Yin."

"What are you planning to do?"

A blue-gold phantom slowly condensed above the Blue Silver Grass.

Her blue hair cascaded to her waist.

A pale golden gown draped over her slender figure.

Her gentle, beautiful face bore some resemblance to Tang San's, yet possessed an additional nobility unique to the Blue Silver Emperor.

A Yin stood above the stone basin and looked at the man in white before her.

"Group Master, you're searching for your fifth Soul Ring."

"My source has just recovered to the hundred-thousand-year level."

Chen Feng shook his head.

"There's no need."

"I came to take you away, not for your Soul Ring."
