Reviving Ah Yin? The Whole Continent Scorns Him, Lan Yu: Too Bad He Doesn't Know About the Icefire Yin-Yang Eye!
[10] [9] [8]
"Ah—!"
Tang Hao threw back his head and howled, two streams of bloody tears flowing from the corners of his eyes. His voice was hoarse and desperate:
"Father!
Your son has been unfilial!
Once Ah Yin is revived, I will surely kill myself before your grave to atone!"
In the final second before the countdown reached zero, Tang Hao used every ounce of his strength to roar madly at the Ranking Screen:
"I choose option one!
Revive Ah Yin!"
Buzz—!
A brilliant golden light flared across the Ranking Screen, and the image of Tang Tian on the right instantly shattered and vanished.
Only Ah Yin's image on the left remained, erupting with dazzling blue-gold radiance.
Clear Sky Sect, main hall square.
"Beast!
An absolute beast!"
The Second Elder trembled with rage and spat out a mouthful of blood. Pointing at the Ranking Screen, he cursed furiously:
"He actually chose that soul beast!
What did he take the old Sect Master's life for?!
What did he take the honor of our Clear Sky Sect for?!"
The First Elder's face turned livid. He slammed his cane against the ground.
"Tang Xiao!
Look at that wonderful little brother of yours!
This is the blood brother you've always protected!"
Tang Xiao closed his eyes. Two clear tears slid down his face, and he seemed to age ten years in an instant. In a hoarse voice, he said:
"Ah Hao... you fool..."
The Third Elder immediately drew his Clear Sky Hammer and roared murderously:
"By order of the Sect Master!
From this day onward, Tang Hao is to be completely expelled from the Clear Sky Sect and stripped of the Haotian title!
Hear this, disciples of the Clear Sky Sect: whoever sees Tang Hao, whether in heaven or on earth, kill him without mercy!"
Although the Clear Sky Sect had sealed itself away after Tang Tian was angered to death,
when Tang Xiao broke through to become a Title Douluo, he still refused the elders' suggestion that he take the title "Haotian."
He had even spread word throughout the soul master world that the title "Haotian" should rightfully be inherited by Tang Hao.
But now?
Tang Xiao could only shake his head helplessly.
"Purge the sect!
Kill him without mercy!"
Hundreds and thousands of Clear Sky Sect disciples roared in unison in the square, their killing intent shooting into the heavens.
Wuhun Hall, Consecration Hall.
Qian Daoliu could not help laughing aloud, his eyes filled with delight and contempt:
"Hahahaha!
What a deeply devoted Haotian Douluo!
For the sake of a soul beast, he does not even want his own father's life!
Tang Hao, you have now become an utterly unfilial wretch. Let's see how you can keep standing on this continent from now on!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo sneered repeatedly:
"He has cut himself off from his sect and from the world.
Tang Hao is completely finished."
Shrek Academy.
Seeing the choice displayed on the Ranking Screen, Tang San collapsed limply onto the ground, muttering to himself:
"Father chose Mother... Father didn't choose Grandfather..."
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun looked at each other, unable to think of any way to comfort him.
Xiao Wu instinctively took several steps back. As she looked at Tang San, an unprecedented hint of fear and wariness appeared in her eyes.
Could a family that could abandon even its own biological father truly treat her, a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, sincerely?
Sunset Forest, Icefire Yin-Yang Eye.
Seeing Tang Hao's choice on the Ranking Screen, the Fire Dragon King could not help but sneer, his tone full of mockery:
"Tsk, tsk, seeing it once truly beats hearing of it a hundred times.
Tang Hao keeps claiming he acts for the woman he loves, but he is really just a selfish, cowardly man.
He can even abandon his own father's life. This has truly opened my eyes!"
The Water Dragon King also snorted coldly, his face full of contempt:
"Indeed.
Although few among the soul beast race value loyalty and affection, we are by no means unfilial creatures.
Tang Hao's actions have not only disgraced humanity, even we soul beasts look down on him."
Jia Lin looked at the Ranking Screen, intense disgust flashing through her eyes:
"It is indeed revolting.
For the sake of one woman, he betrayed his birth father and cut himself off from his sect and the world. Does such a man deserve to be called a hero?"
At this, Jia Lin turned to Lan Yu beside her and asked curiously:
"Lan Yu, if it were you facing such a dilemma, would there be a better solution?"
Lan Yu smiled faintly and calmly uttered two words:
"Of course."
"Oh?"
The Fire Dragon King immediately became interested, his enormous dragon head leaning closer:
"Boy, hurry and tell us. Is there really a way to resolve this deadlock and satisfy both sides?"
The Water Dragon King and Jia Lin also looked toward Lan Yu, their eyes full of curiosity.
Lan Yu pointed at the treasured land around them, where icy-blue and crimson spring water churned, and said with a smile:
"Look at this Icefire Yin-Yang Eye.
This place is an exceptional land that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it is the paradise every plant-type soul beast dreams of.
If Tang Hao transplanted the Blue Silver Grass Ah Yin left behind after her sacrifice here,
then under the ultimate nourishment of the Icefire Yin-Yang Eye,
Ah Yin would not need more than a few years to cultivate back to her peak and be directly revived."
Jia Lin's beautiful eyes lit up as she instantly understood:
"You mean..."
"That's right."
With his arms folded, Lan Yu looked at the agonized Tang Hao on the Ranking Screen, the mockery at the corners of his mouth growing ever clearer:
"Tang Hao simply does not know that the Icefire Yin-Yang Eye exists, much less understand its wonders.
If he knew, he could have used the Ranking Screen's reward to revive his father, Tang Tian, and then quietly transplant Ah Yin's true body here to nurture it.
That way, he could fulfill his filial duty, preserve his sect, and let Ah Yin revive unharmed within a few years. It would have been the best of both worlds."
Lan Yu shook his head and sneered:
"Pitifully, he is ignorant and foolish, guarding this treasure land in Sunset Forest without recognizing it.
In the end, forced by the Ranking Screen, he could only make the stupidest possible choice.
He gave up his father to revive Ah Yin, only to end up abandoned by everyone and cut off from the world. It is utterly laughable."
Behind Holy Soul Village, inside the stone cave beneath the waterfall.
As the golden light on the Ranking Screen gradually faded, Tang Hao seemed to have all his strength drained from him and collapsed helplessly onto the damp ground.
Tang Hao clutched his hair tightly, his entire body trembling violently as suppressed, broken sobs echoed through the empty stone cave.
"Father... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Tang Hao closed his eyes, but countless scenes flashed wildly through his mind.
It was from his childhood, when Tang Tian's broad, kind hand stroked his head as he laughed heartily:
"Ah Hao, you are the most outstanding genius our Clear Sky Sect has seen in a hundred years. The future of the Clear Sky Sect will depend on you and Ah Xiao."
It was when he first picked up a forging hammer, and Tang Tian personally wiped away his sweat nearby, his eyes filled with pride and gratification.
But then the scene changed to what had just appeared on the Ranking Screen.
Tang Tian lay on his sickbed, his face pale as he trembled and cursed in rage. In the end, he spat blood and died with resentment in his heart.
"I killed you... I angered you to death!"
Tang Hao pounded the ground violently with his fists in agony, smashing them until blood streamed from his knuckles and shattered stones flew everywhere.
"Now Heaven has given me a chance to make amends... but I... I abandoned you again!"
