Tang Hao's Unease and Fury! A Frenzied Pursuit!

Tang Hao sat in a rundown tavern in Nuoding City, holding a cup of cloudy wine, his eyes never leaving the view outside the window.

Beyond the window stood the outline of Nuoding Academy, where his son Tang San was studying.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he remained tense inside.

Ever since Ah Yin sacrificed herself, only two things remained in his life: protecting Tang San and guarding what Ah Yin had left behind.

Suddenly, Tang Hao's eyelid twitched sharply, and the cup in his hand trembled, spilling a few drops of wine onto the table.

His brows knitted tightly as a powerful sense of unease welled up inside him.

He had not felt this way in a long time, as though something important was slipping away from him.

"Something's wrong..." Tang Hao murmured, drumming his fingers unconsciously on the table.

A Titled Douluo's instincts were always sharp. For someone like him, who had faced life and death and lost those dearest to him, the ability to sense danger was even further beyond that of ordinary people.

He sprang to his feet, startling the other patrons in the tavern with his sudden movement and drawing their glances.

But Tang Hao had no time to care about them. Only one thought filled his mind: I have to return to Holy Soul Village immediately!

Tang Hao shot out of the tavern like a bolt of lightning and raced toward Holy Soul Village.

He moved so swiftly that the scenery around him blurred into indistinct afterimages.

His heartbeat grew more frantic with every accelerating step, as though an invisible hand had gripped his heart tightly.

"Ah Yin... Tang San..."

The two names flashed through Tang Hao's mind over and over.

Tang San was at Nuoding Academy, protected by Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, and would be safe for the time being.

That left only what Ah Yin had left behind on the mountain behind Holy Soul Village as a possible source of trouble-the Blue Silver Emperor and that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

At that thought, Tang Hao sped up again. Soul Power surged madly through his body, and cracks spread across the ground beneath his feet.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he swore inwardly, Whoever you are, if you dare touch Ah Yin's things, I'll make you wish you were dead!

Nuoding City was not really that far from Holy Soul Village, and a Titled Douluo flying at full speed arrived quickly.

On the mountain behind Holy Soul Village, the waterfall still roared, mist filling the air as though nothing had changed.

But when Tang Hao arrived, his face instantly turned ashen.

He stood before the waterfall, his gaze sharp as a blade as he swept it over everything around him.

A faint trace of an unfamiliar Soul Power fluctuation lingered in the air. Though weak, it could not escape his senses.

He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white with the force.

"Someone's been here..."

Tang Hao's voice was low and icy, as though it had come from hell.

His figure flashed through the waterfall and into the hidden cave.

Inside, the damp air remained, but the patch of Blue Silver Grass in the center had vanished, leaving only a hole where the earth had been dug up.

Tang Hao stared fixedly at the hole, the flames of rage in his eyes threatening to erupt.

"Ah Yin... the Soul Bone..."

Tang Hao's voice trembled, as though every word carried endless pain and fury.

Ah Yin's image appeared in his mind: that gentle yet strong woman who had sacrificed her life for him and Tang San.

And now, even the last trace she had left behind had been stolen!

"Who was it?! Just who was it?!"

Tang Hao's roar echoed through the cave, making the surrounding stone walls tremble slightly.

His Soul Power erupted beyond his control, and the entire cave seemed on the verge of collapse beneath his rage.

Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, like those of an enraged beast.

His spiritual power spread out wildly, attempting to catch the slightest clue.

Yet that unfamiliar Soul Power fluctuation had long since dissipated, as though it had never existed.

"Impossible... it couldn't have just disappeared!"

Tang Hao said through gritted teeth.

A series of possible targets flashed rapidly through his mind: Spirit Hall? Other experts living in seclusion? Or those greedy people coveting the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?

Whoever the other party was, Tang Hao knew that anyone capable of slipping into Holy Soul Village without a sound and taking the Blue Silver Emperor and the Soul Bone was no ordinary person.

The other party's strength was at least equal to his, perhaps even greater!

"No matter who you are, I'll find you!"

"And then I'll tear you into ten thousand pieces!!!!!!!!"

Tang Hao's voice was like a blade of ice in the depths of winter, brimming with killing intent.

His figure flashed again, racing out of the cave toward Holy Soul Village.

He needed more clues, and the villagers of Holy Soul Village might be able to provide some information.

In Holy Soul Village, the villagers continued their peaceful lives, completely unaware of what had happened on the mountain behind the village.

Tang Hao appeared silently in the village like a ghost.

His gaze swept over every corner, searching for any unusual traces.

Suddenly, his gaze settled on a large tree at the entrance to the village.

A shallow scratch marked its trunk, as though something sharp had scraped across it.

Tang Hao walked closer to examine it, his brows knitting tightly.

A faint Soul Power fluctuation lingered on the scratch, identical to the one he had sensed in the cave.

Dai Fei had deliberately left it behind, a kind of provocation aimed at Tang Hao.

His presence lingered here, but once he left, he used the Geng Metal Sacred Art to conceal it. Tang Hao could never find him.

"Someone really has been here..."

Tang Hao spoke in a low voice, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

His gaze followed the direction of the scratch toward the road leading to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"The Star Dou Great Forest?"

A hint of puzzlement flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.

The Star Dou Great Forest was a gathering place for Soul Beasts, and ordinary people would never dare enter it lightly.

After taking the Blue Silver Emperor and the Soul Bone, the other party had chosen to head for the Star Dou Great Forest, clearly having come prepared.

"Could it be to hunt for a Soul Ring?"

The thought flashed through Tang Hao's mind.

But he quickly dismissed it.

The other party had slipped into Holy Soul Village without a sound and taken the Blue Silver Emperor and the Soul Bone. Clearly, it was not for a mere Soul Ring.

"Whatever your goal is, I'll find you!"

A flash of determination crossed Tang Hao's eyes.

His figure flashed again as he raced toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Meanwhile.

At the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, Dai Fei stood atop a massive tree, gazing into the depths of the forest.

He held the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone in his hand, a faint smile on his face.

"Tang Hao, you should have discovered it by now, shouldn't you?"

Dai Fei's tone was playful.

His spiritual power had long since sensed Tang Hao's presence approaching rapidly, but he was not nervous in the least.

"Too bad you're too late."

Dai Fei's figure flashed and vanished from the treetop.

His goal was clear: enter the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, find a safe place, and refine the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Dai Fei moved swiftly through the forest. Using the Geng Metal Sacred Art, he completely concealed his presence, as though he had become one with the natural surroundings.

He knew Tang Hao was extremely powerful. If Tang Hao caught up with him, though he was not afraid, he would still be drawn into a hard fight.
