Dugu Bo glanced at Lu Xuan with a complicated expression, his tone tinged with emotion. "I never imagined that it would be you who ended Tang Hao's life after my final battle with my nephew Zhao Yan."

"It's good that he's dead." Lu Xuan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

The relentless attacks had depleted most of his Soul Power. Once he confirmed Tang Hao's death, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Lu Xuan took out a Soul Power Recovery Pill from his Storage Item, put it in his mouth, and said, "If he's still alive, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to use a teleportation technique to escape immediately."

"Tang Hao's strength is indeed well-deserved," Dugu Bo said slowly. "It's all thanks to our preemptive use of poison to imprison his Soul Power. Without this restriction, even if my nephew Zhao Yan and I joined forces, we wouldn't have been able to stop him from escaping."

Tang Hao was critically injured and on the verge of death. He was unable to use his trump card, the Ring Detonation Technique, or the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes. His strength as a top-tier Titled Douluo was reduced by more than half, but he was still able to fight his way out of the encirclement and annihilation of the two powerful figures.

If they hadn't poisoned and sealed his Soul Power and imprisoned his Soul Skill beforehand, even if he and Zhao Yan were to eventually kill Tang Hao, they would have paid an extremely heavy price, and it wouldn't have ended so easily.

"Hehe, this is the first Titled Douluo I've personally killed!"

A smug glint flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes, and he quietly smugly remarked.

He didn't care at all about what others thought was a lucky break; the victory was a testament to his real strength and opportunity.

Seeing that Lu Xuan was in stable condition and unharmed, Dugu Bo got up and slowly walked towards Tang Hao's body, bending down to pick up the last remaining fragments of his Soul Bone.

Tang Hao was already dead. The two Soul Bone that had fallen off earlier, plus the remaining Soul Bone on his body, made up a total of six Soul Bone that were completely intact and preserved.

Dugu Bo had recently become accustomed to seeing all kinds of Soul Bone, and with a glance, he determined that these six Soul Bone were all of top quality.

Among them, the three Soul Bone of the torso, right arm, and left leg are all over 70,000 years old and of excellent quality; the remaining Head Soul Bone are also firmly at the 50,000-year level.

The entire set of Soul Bone is complete and of superior age; each piece is an extremely rare treasure for Soul Master, with immeasurable value.

"Wait here for your Uncle Zhao for a moment." Dugu Bo carefully put away the Soul Bone and slowly said, "These Soul Bone are contaminated with my deadly poison. I'll go back and purify them to remove the toxins before we distribute them."

"No need to wait." Lu Xuan smiled slightly, his tone calm. "Grandpa Dugu, you can return to the original battlefield and wait. I'll go find Uncle Zhao to join you."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xuan activated his Soul Skill [Azure Jade Spatial Escape], his figure instantly becoming ethereal and disappearing into the mountains and forests in the blink of an eye.

Lu Xuan had already distributed the tokens bearing the mark of the Azure Jade Bird to all those he trusted.

Now, finding Zhao Yan is as simple as a thought; he can pinpoint his location.

Watching Lu Xuan's suddenly disappearing figure, Dugu Bo couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I almost forgot you had this skill."

He glanced at the poisoned blood flowing from Tang Hao on the ground, sprinkled out the Antidote to neutralize the poison, then covered the bloodstains with soil before setting off towards the back mountain of Holy Soul Village.

"You scared me!" Zhao Yan exclaimed, his Soul Power tensing instinctively as Lu Xuan suddenly appeared without warning. "Xiao Xuan, your appearance was too sudden! I almost skewered you into a giant meat skewer with my spear!"

"I should be the one who was scared." The crisis had passed, and Lu Xuan relaxed, jokingly saying with a smile, "Luckily, Uncle Zhao stopped in time, otherwise Lingling would be a widow."

"Stop being so cheeky." Zhao Yan retracted the Phoenix Crying Spear Martial Soul into his body, and only after confirming that Lu Xuan was unharmed did he ask, "Why did you come here?"

"Tang Hao is dead. I arranged to meet Grandpa Dugu at the battlefield where we fought earlier, so I came here specifically to find you." Lu Xuan said quickly, "Uncle Zhao, let's go back."

Zhao Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this, said no more, reached out and picked up Lu Xuan, and in a flash, sped straight towards the direction of Holy Soul Village.

Before long, the two arrived at the waterfall behind Holy Soul Village and successfully met up with Dugu Bo, who had arrived earlier.

"Xiao Xuan." Dugu Bo turned to look at Lu Xuan, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked, "I've already brought Tang Yuehua back. Is there any use for her now?"

"It still has some use, but let's put it aside for now." Lu Xuan said slowly, "The instructions I gave Tang Yuehua were to lure Tang Hao to his wife's grave. Since Tang Hao has fled all the way here, this place must be where his wife is buried."

Dugu Bo frowned slightly. "Are you talking about the Blue Silver Emperor?"

The secret that Tang Hao's wife was the Blue Silver Emperor was discovered by Lu Xuan through Tang Yuehua.

"That's right!" Lu Xuan nodded emphatically, his eyes shining. "Tang Hao obtained the Blue Silver Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but he didn't absorb the corresponding Soul Bone. We just checked, and Tang Hao didn't have this Soul Bone on him either. So the most likely explanation is that it's hidden in his wife's grave!"

Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

Dugu Bo instantly realized what was happening and immediately said in a deep voice, "There's no time to lose, let's split up and search!"

"No need for that." Lu Xuan gently shook his head, then turned to look at Tang Yuehua, who was being Mental Control, and said calmly, "You should know the location, right?"

Tang Yuehua nodded blankly, then pointed to the waterfall. "My second brother just told me that he placed that Soul Bone in the cave behind the waterfall."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo and Zhao Yan couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Hiding the Soul Bone in the cave behind the waterfall is truly a... wonderful hiding place.

"Uncle Zhao, I'll trouble you to stay here and guard Tang Yuehua." Lu Xuan turned to Zhao Yan and instructed him, then looked at Dugu Bo: "Grandpa Dugu, I'll trouble you to take me inside to investigate."

Neither of them objected.

Dugu Bo grabbed Lu Xuan and lifted him into the air, flying straight towards the waterfall.

In a short while, the two stepped into the cave.

Inside the dark cave, a Blue Silver Grass grew on the damp ground.

Apart from that, there was nothing in the cave.

Just as Dugu Bo was about to unleash his spiritual power to probe the cave, Lu Xuan stopped him, saying, "Grandpa Dugu, this Blue Silver Grass is no ordinary plant. Please wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo looked up at the clump of Blue Silver Grass, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. He didn't speak, but a few guesses were vaguely forming in his heart.

Lu Xuan didn't delay any longer. His Martial Soul, the Divine Black Jade Bamboo Flute, emerged from his body, and he directly activated his Fourth Soul Skill, [Peach-Bamboo Illusory Thought].

"Peach blossoms cast shadows as divine swords fly, the azure sea surges as Jade Flute!"

The sound of the flute rose gently as he aimed this Soul Skill at the remaining essence of the Blue Silver Emperor, activating the illusion while carefully probing the situation within.

This Blue Silver Emperor plant has only been planted for three years and has only developed a very weak trace of intelligence.

At this moment, she was like a blank sheet of paper, not yet bearing any memories of her past life, allowing Lu Xuan to sketch out a picture in her consciousness.

Before long, countless images slowly flooded into the depths of Blue Silver Emperor's consciousness.

Those were the events that occurred after the Blue Silver Emperor's sacrifice:
