"Lin Yang, are you okay?"
Dugu Yan's voice, tinged with sobs, reached him. Lin Yang turned and saw her supporting Xiao Wu, who was dragging one leg, as they walked toward him.
The moment Dugu Yan saw Lin Yang's figure, she could no longer hold back. She let go of Xiao Wu and ran over with red eyes.
"Hmph!"
The little rabbit snorted softly and teleported three times in succession, crashing into Lin Yang's arms first.
Dugu Yan had no time to argue with this foolish rabbit. She snatched half the person from Xiao Wu's hands and asked anxiously,
"Are you okay? Where are you hurt? Are you really all right?"
Lin Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry. Did you forget my abilities?"
Dugu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the one Lin Yang had faced was a Titled Douluo whose martial soul was known as the "Number One Weapon Martial Soul in the World" — the Clear Sky Hammer. It was understandable that she had lost her composure from worry.
Lin Yang also asked about Xiao Wu's condition, since her leg injury looked extremely severe.
Xiao Wu shook her head and said, "Don't worry. A few days of rest and I'll be fine."
Because of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, the little rabbit's leg had been completely broken.
Watching the man and two women caring for each other, Dugu Bo's expression clearly darkened.
Not only are you trying to seduce my granddaughter, you're also hoping for the best of both worlds?
Ye Xuanyin stroked his beard and chuckled.
"Cough cough…"
Dugu Bo coughed violently and lightly grabbed Tang Hao's head, speaking in a low voice.
"Lin boy, what exactly happened? How did you provoke the wrath of the Clear Sky Sect?"
Lin Yang looked down at the pouting Dugu Yan.
"I haven't told Grandpa and Old Leaf yet. I only informed you that you were in danger."
Lin Yang nodded lightly, then shrugged.
"Probably because I injured his son."
Eh?
Dugu Bo and Ye Xuanyin were stunned.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Poison Elder, Elder Ye, let's leave this place first. I'll explain everything later."
"Fine!"
Afterward, Lin Yang gathered Tang Hao's corpse, wrapped it casually, and stuffed it into his storage bracelet.
The surrounding environment was destroyed beyond recognition. He only took the carriage and other remnants.
The five of them walked to the courtyard in Suotuo City. There, Lin Yang recounted the entire sequence of events.
When Ye Xuanyin learned that the Titled Douluo was actually Tang Hao, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Dugu Bo suddenly stood up, his voice rising an octave.
"You mean the person just now was Tang Hao? Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao? The same Tang Hao who killed the Spirit Hall's Pope more than ten years ago?"
"Yes, that's right," Lin Yang nodded, his tone confident.
Dugu Bo slowly sat back down, but a trace of disbelief still lingered in his eyes.
He had only recognized that the person possessed the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and assumed he was an elder of the Clear Sky Sect. He had never expected it to be Tang Hao.
Although Dugu Bo had obtained his title earlier than Tang Hao, Tang Hao's reputation was far more widespread — especially because of that earth-shaking battle more than ten years ago.
With the death of the Spirit Hall's Pope and the Clear Sky Sect going into seclusion, Tang Hao's whereabouts had become unknown. Yet that battle had firmly established the name of Clear Sky Douluo.
Anyone who heard the name "Tang Hao" would be wary.
Unexpectedly, Tang Hao had died at the hands of a five-ring Soul King. If this got out, people would surely laugh their heads off.
What was even more ridiculous was that all of this had started from nothing more than a friendly sparring match.
At that moment, Dugu Bo thought of something. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Shouldn't we eliminate that Tang San as well? Nip the bud before it grows!"
Lin Yang pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head.
"Tang San… is actually even more troublesome than Tang Hao."
"Eh?"
Dugu Bo was surprised. How troublesome could a Soul Master possibly be? Just poison him and be done with it.
Lin Yang said, "Tang San's teacher is Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang!"
"Yu Xiaogang…"
Dugu Bo seemed to recall something and frowned slightly.
"That useless member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"Yes, that's him," Lin Yang nodded.
"So what?"
Dugu Bo retorted, "We're targeting Tang San, not Yu Xiaogang. That old dragon wouldn't oppose us for Tang San's sake."
Lin Yang smiled bitterly. "Poison Elder, don't forget about the Clear Sky Sect."
"If Tang San dies, Yu Xiaogang will definitely go looking for Tang Hao. Once he realizes Tang Hao is in trouble, do you think he'll inform the Clear Sky Sect?"
Although Yu Xiaogang's title of "Grandmaster" was nominal, his deep affection for his only disciple, Tang San, was an undeniable fact.
After a brief pause, Lin Yang continued.
"Both the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan rank among the top three sects. Do you really think there's no connection between them at all?"
Dugu Bo's expression changed.
If it was the Clear Sky Sect, then of course not.
Although the Clear Sky Sect was currently in seclusion, no one doubted the strength of the number-one sect in the world.
If news of Tang Hao's death leaked, the Clear Sky Sect would definitely reappear. They might even come looking for them.
Lin Yang made an even more shocking statement. "Moreover, Yu Xiaogang is Bibi Dong's lover. It wouldn't be difficult for him to obtain help from the Spirit Hall."
The moment he heard the name Bibi Dong, a deep look of unease appeared on Dugu Bo's face.
This woman wasn't particularly old, yet she had remained in the position of Pope for many years. This showed just how unfathomable her power was.
This was also what Lin Yang feared the most.
Bibi Dong was a bit strange. No one could understand what she was thinking.
If Yu Xiaogang was truly willing to "submit" to Bibi Dong for Tang San's sake, wouldn't that be handing her a powerful father?
No — handing her a giant pair of breasts!
"Damn it…"
Dugu Bo couldn't help but curse. He had never imagined that such a piece of trash could be involved in so many romantic entanglements.
In truth, Lin Yang also felt it was a bit excessive.
Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, could have anything she wanted, yet she was still drawn to Yu Xiaogang.
What was the point?
Was it because of his zombie-like face?
Or was it because of his thick lips?
Just because his martial spirit was bad didn't mean they could attack him for it.
"So we're just supposed to sit back and watch?"
A cold light flashed in Lin Yang's eyes. "Tang San will die, but not now."
Shrek Academy must have noticed his changes during the battle with Tang Hao. They might have made some guesses, but they probably never imagined that Tang Hao had actually died.
Tang Hao had been homeless for a long time. No one had been able to find his traces.
This had allowed him to enjoy a relatively stable period of growth.
Let's wait until he has fully matured.
Even if they found out Tang Hao was dead, what could they do?
After hearing Lin Yang's explanation, Dugu Bo also felt this was a relatively good solution.
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room eased considerably.
At that moment, Lin Yang took Tang Hao's corpse out of his storage bracelet.
The story ends here. Now comes the main event.
Splitting the spirit bones!!!
