Xiao Wu was not stupid, especially when it came to her true identity.
There was a Titled Douluo by Tang San's side, and that Titled Douluo must have seen through her identity long ago.
She did not know why he had not captured her before.
In the past, she might have believed that Tang San would not mind her identity as a Soul Beast.
But now, after spending a night at Maple Forest Evening...
Xiao Yexuan's attitude had made her trust him greatly.
Maple Forest Evening had no shortage of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone like hers, and even let her draw for Soul Bones.
So, once she realized her identity had been exposed, she hurriedly ran into Maple Forest Evening.
Sure enough, her fears were justified. The moment she ran, the Titled Douluo behind Tang San moved to capture her.
"Xiao Wu? What's wrong?"
Tang San looked utterly bewildered. Why had Xiao Wu run off after taking the money?
Wasn't she going to listen to his explanation?
Then, he sensed the presence of the Titled Douluo behind him.
Tang Hao had appeared.
And he was actually trying to capture Xiao Wu.
Tang Hao had not revealed his true identity, so Tang San was still in the dark.
And just as Tang Hao's large hand was about to seize Xiao Wu...
Blades of wind shot out from inside Maple Forest Evening.
Tang Hao unleashed his Martial Soul. Even if he had to take these attacks head-on, he had to capture Xiao Wu.
After all, this was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
If he let Xiao Wu hide inside Maple Forest Evening today, capturing her in the future would be incredibly difficult.
But the wind blades were even stronger than Tang Hao had imagined.
They left deep gouges even in Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.
This made Tang Hao cough up a mouthful of blood.
"Great Sumeru Hammer!!"
Tang Hao roared in a hoarse voice.
An enormous hammer descended from the sky.
Whoosh, whoosh~~
Meteor hammers shot up from below, colliding with the Great Sumeru Hammer.
Tang Hao immediately felt the pressure.
All nine Soul Rings around him exploded, one after another!
"Ring Detonation!"
Violent power poured into the Great Sumeru Hammer, making it solid and powerful!
Its heaven-shaking force seemed about to cleave the sky apart.
"Those who stand in my way shall die!"
Tang Hao looked as though he had gone mad, ready to fight Maple Forest Evening to the death!
Ram and Rem were also struggling somewhat beneath the enormous hammer.
The gap of a whole realm was still immense.
Especially since Tang Hao had used both Ring Detonation and the Great Sumeru Hammer.
However, working together, the two only needed to hold Tang Hao back.
How long could Tang Hao sustain such an outburst?
And at that moment, Xiao Yexuan also moved.
"Three Thousand Lightning Movement!"
With a flash of lightning, Xiao Yexuan was already in midair.
In his hands was an enormous weapon that looked like a ruler?
Faint, strange patterns covered the surface of the pitch-black giant ruler. They extended to its handle, spreading across almost every part of its body. Combined with its ancient-looking black color, they gave it a rather mysterious appearance.
It was none other than the Heavy Xuan Ruler he had drawn earlier.
Xiao Yexuan then summoned something else.
It was a white flame, yet it radiated an intensely cold power.
It was the Bone Chilling Flame!
Xiao Yexuan attached the Bone Chilling Flame to the Heavy Xuan Ruler, and icy-white flames spread and expanded across it.
Xiao Yexuan raised the Heavy Xuan Ruler, and waves of flame surged skyward from it.
They made the surrounding air bitterly cold.
Xiao Yexuan slashed viciously at Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer, shouting:
"Flame Splitting-Tsunami Ruler!"
Boom, boom, boom!!
The collision of mighty forces blasted an enormous crater in front of Maple Forest Evening's entrance.
Under the combined attacks from three sides, Tang Hao's Great Suni Hammer was battered and broken.
Tang Hao coughed up blood repeatedly.
He had played all his trump cards, yet he could do nothing to Maple Forest Evening.
In the end, he could only cast a deeply unwilling glance at Xiao Wu before swiftly leaving with Tang San!
A Titled Douluo was far too fast, especially Tang Hao, who could also fly.
He vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph! Tang Hao, now that the Bone Chilling Flame has touched you, don't expect an easy time from now on!"
Xiao Yexuan planted one hand on his hip, his gaze cold.
Tang Hao had actually dared to seize someone outright. He certainly had some nerve!
Fortunately, it had only been Tang Hao.
If those old fellows from Shrek Academy had come to cause trouble too, things really would have been somewhat difficult.
Still, there was no need to worry now.
Tang Hao had detonated his rings and been touched by the Bone Chilling Flame.
Without recuperating for a few months, he could forget about coming to trouble him again.
But he still had to take precautions.
Although Tang Hao was being hunted by Spirit Hall, he still wielded considerable influence.
If he returned to the Clear Sky Sect and called over its Titled Douluo, Maple Forest Evening really would be in danger.
However, by then, Xiao Yexuan would probably have unlocked the second gacha pool and drawn even stronger characters.
Besides, Tang Hao might not necessarily resort to force.
After all, anyone could tell that Ram and Rem were no ordinary people. They must have powerful backing.
The Clear Sky Sect would have to be stupid to come here looking for trouble!
"Landlord... Lord Landlord! Thank... thank you..."
Xiao Wu had run all the way into Maple Forest Evening in one breath. That terrifying clash just now had greatly shocked her.
She had thought the Titled Douluo behind Tang San was merely an ordinary Titled Douluo.
But that power just now definitely did not belong to an ordinary Titled Douluo.
If a Titled Douluo like that captured her, she would have no chance of escaping at all.
"Xiao Wu, you weren't frightened, were you?"
Xiao Yexuan said with a gentle smile.
"Thank... thank you so much. It turns out someone had their eyes on me long ago when I was outside. But I'm a little curious... why... why didn't they capture me right away?"
Xiao Wu had many questions now.
"Do you know who that Titled Douluo just now was?" Xiao Yexuan asked calmly.
"No." Xiao Wu shook her head.
"His name is Tang Hao. He's Tang San's father."
"Ah! Tang Hao... San... wasn't Little San's father a blacksmith? And hasn't he been missing for years?"
Xiao Wu was shocked. Tang San's father was actually a Titled Douluo.
Then didn't that mean... her identity had been exposed when she was little?
"The Clear Sky Hammer and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring make it quite clear. He's the Tang Hao who was once so renowned."
"Tang Hao... so he's Tang Hao."
Xiao Wu murmured to herself. Many legends about Tang Hao circulated across the continent.
After all, Tang Hao had been dazzling beyond compare back then!
Even the previous Supreme Pontiff had died because of him.
"As for why he didn't capture you, we'll have to talk about how Tang Hao got his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring." Xiao Yexuan smiled faintly.
"How? How did he get it?!" Xiao Wu's eyes became bloodshot. A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring-he must have killed one of her kind!
"Back then, Tang Hao also met a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had transformed into a human. They went on adventures together and eventually fell in love."
Xiao Yexuan recounted the story,
"But how could that Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast have known that the man she loved was actually bent on obtaining her Soul Ring and Soul Bone? And so, at the most critical moment, Tang Hao took her to Spirit City, where there were more Titled Douluo than anywhere else!"
"As you can imagine, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast was discovered and hunted by several Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall."
"In the end, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had no choice but to sacrifice herself to Tang Hao. His Soul Power rose several levels in succession, making him the youngest Titled Douluo on the entire continent!"
