Tang Hao could not possibly have left the place without setting up a restriction.
The Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone was there too.
Jin Jiuxiao honestly could not understand it.
Say Tang Hao loved Ah Yin, and his love did not seem deep enough.
But say Tang Hao did not love Ah Yin, and he acted as though he cared about her a great deal.
Yet if Tang Hao cared about Ah Yin, why had he planted the Blue Silver Emperor somewhere that never saw daylight? There had clearly been a way to prevent Ah Yin's sacrifice, but Tang Hao had done nothing.
Tang Hao's behavior was full of contradictions. Jin Jiuxiao simply could not make sense of it.
The root cause of Ah Yin's identity being exposed was that her pregnancy had destabilized her aura, making it difficult to conceal her Soul Beast aura.
Before that, Spirit Hall had never discovered Ah Yin.
So why had Spirit Hall discovered her after she became pregnant?
Knowing Ah Yin was pregnant, why had Tang Hao not taken her back to the Blue Silver Forest ahead of time?
Why had Tang Hao insisted on taking Ah Yin gallivanting through the human world?
Would it have been so difficult to wait until Ah Yin gave birth before continuing their travels?
It would only have taken a year at most.
Once Ah Yin had passed that vulnerable period, other Titled Douluos would have had no way of telling whether she was a Soul Beast in human form.
There would have been no possibility of Spirit Hall surrounding and hunting her down.
"Hmph, just an injured Level 92 Titled Douluo." Xiong Jun snorted.
He had already learned Tang Hao's level from Zi JI before setting out. "Even Zi JI should be able to take him down, right?"
"Little Jiuxiao, do we really need to mobilize such a force?"
It was not that Xiong Jun was unwilling to cooperate. He simply did not understand.
This Tang Hao did not sound all that powerful. Why did Jin Jiuxiao take him so seriously?
"Uncle Xiong, strategically, we should look down on every enemy. Tactically, we should take every enemy seriously."
Jin Jiuxiao understood what Xiong Jun meant. "If that saying is hard to understand, there's another: even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit."
"If I can guarantee a hundred percent chance of success, I won't plan an operation around a ninety-nine percent chance."
How many people had started with victory assured, only to underestimate their opponents? They could have crushed them early on, yet let them escape time and again until they turned the tables.
What he wanted was absolute domination!
What he wanted was absolute certainty!
"That makes sense." Xiong Jun thought it over and agreed.
Even though their opponent was not particularly strong at present, they still had to take him seriously.
Xiong Jun glanced sideways at the thoughtful Jin Jiuxiao, and an extraordinarily bold idea faintly stirred in his heart.
Perhaps Jin Jiuxiao really could...
But it was still too early to draw conclusions. He wanted to see how Jin Jiuxiao performed from here on.
"Don't worry, little brother Jiuxiao. Everything will be fine."
Zi JI rested both hands on Jin Jiuxiao's shoulders. "With Xiong Jun and Bi Ji both here this time, if that Titled Douluo called Tang Hao manages to escape, I'll write my name backward from now on!"
A two-hundred-thousand-year Hell Demon Dragon King, a four-hundred-and-twenty-thousand-year dark gold terrorclaw bear, and a five-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year Emerald Swan.
Two carries and one support.
In any era, in any region of the Douluo Continent, this lineup would have been an explosive combination that no one dared underestimate.
"Mm."
After traveling for some time, the four arrived at the entrance to Holy Soul Village.
They headed straight for the mountain behind Holy Soul Village, making a beeline for the waterfall.
"There's a small cave behind it." Jin Jiuxiao released a wisp of electric current to confirm the cave's location.
He took the lead and passed through the waterfall.
Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, and Zi JI followed close behind.
When they saw the scene inside the cave, several question marks seemed to pop up over their heads in succession.
The Blue Silver Emperor had been planted right in the center of the cave behind the waterfall.
She looked somewhat wilted and listless.
Even more bafflingly, there was only a small hole directly above the Blue Silver Emperor, letting in a sliver of light.
That meant the Blue Silver Emperor could only receive sunlight at noon on clear days.
The cave lay right beside the waterfall, making its interior exceptionally damp and thick with moisture.
Bi Ji could not help frowning. "This is utterly ridiculous!"
"How could the Blue Silver Emperor possibly recover in an environment like this?"
"If the Blue Silver Emperor didn't have such powerful vitality, he would have killed her long ago! Any other plant would already be dead!"
A damp environment, little sunlight, and a lack of nutrients.
To Bi Ji, the fact that the Blue Silver Emperor had not died under his care was entirely thanks to her powerful vitality.
Any other plant in an environment like this would have long since kicked the bucket.
Forget recovering her cultivation-in an environment like this, merely staying alive was already impressive.
Zi JI could not help turning to Jin Jiuxiao and asking, "Little brother Jiuxiao, didn't you say the Blue Silver Emperor married that Titled Douluo called Tang Hao after taking human form?"
"Who would treat their own partner like this?"
"No matter how stupid someone is, surely they'd know these basic facts about growing plants?"
Zi JI walked over and crouched in front of the Blue Silver Emperor, gently stroking her leaves. "Judging by her condition, she's been here for several years."
"It's honestly a miracle she's still alive."
How was this protection? This was outright abuse!
Xiong Jun looked around and pinpointed the spot.
His right hand transformed into a bear claw. He plunged it into the ground and dug out a box. "The Blue Silver Emperor's aura is inside this."
He opened it and looked. "Sure enough, it's the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone."
It was a right leg bone, blue-gold throughout and brimming with the aura of life.
He closed the box and handed it to Jin Jiuxiao. "That Titled Douluo called Tang Hao should have noticed by now."
Jin Jiuxiao accepted the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and put it into his Storage Soul Tool. "Now we just wait for Tang Hao to deliver himself to our doorstep."
At that same moment, Tang Hao, who was secretly watching Tang San at Nuoding Academy, suddenly paled.
"Ah Yin... Ah Yin... how could this happen? No one could possibly know where Ah Yin is..."
His figure flickered as he rushed toward Holy Soul Village at full speed.
Killing intent surged around him, his eyes glowing red. "Whoever you are, if you dare touch Ah Yin, you die!"
When Tang Hao reached the mountain behind Holy Soul Village, he saw four figures standing on its summit.
His eyes narrowed, and his killing intent soared. "You, Jin Jiuxiao! I should have killed you and taken your bone back then!"
Zi JI was the first to step in front of Jin Jiuxiao, coldness flashing in her eyes. "You say that as though you could actually do it."
Bi Ji's expression darkened at those words as well.
Talking about killing Jin Jiuxiao and taking his bone right in front of me? He certainly has some nerve...
Xiong Jun's temper flared in an instant. "Who the hell do you think you are? A useless piece of trash who can't even protect his wife dares bark at us?"
Tang Hao's gaze swept over the two stunning women and the burly man in turn. "A dragon, a bear, and a goose."
"Who gave you the nerve to touch Ah Yin?!"
Rage rushed straight to his head. Tang Hao had already lost some of his reason, forgetting to carefully examine Xiong Jun's and Bi Ji's cultivation.
All he knew was that these four were all Soul Beasts over a hundred thousand years old.
He could sense that the Blue Silver Emperor was still inside the cave and had not yet been moved.
As long as he slaughtered these damned Soul Beasts, no one would know Ah Yin's location.
Not only that, he would gain four Soul Bones over a hundred thousand years old!
