Chapter 81: Identity Exposed?
"What's going on? Did he discover my identity?"
When Ah Yin met Su Mo's gaze from afar, her heart sank.
Su Mo's gaze fell squarely on her, as if the bustling crowd around him were nothing.
Ah Yin realized almost instantly that he was looking at her!
What puzzled Ah Yin was that only experts at the Soul Douluo level or above could sense the aura of transformed soul beasts.
He looks so young. At such an age, to be able to reach the level of Soul Emperor or even Soul Saint is already astonishing. How could he possibly be a Soul Douluo?
Even if he really was, how could he possibly pinpoint her soul beast aura across such a vast distance, among so many people, and within such a chaotic mix of auras?
But Ah Yin didn't dare to gamble.
She knew very well what a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast meant in the human world.
That was a moving treasure, an opportunity that countless soul masters dreamed of.
Moreover, transformed soul beasts were much easier to hunt than untransformed ones.
Once her identity was exposed, she would be doomed.
"Excuse me, please make way..."
Ah Yin dared not linger any longer. She hurriedly turned around, squeezed through the crowd, and left in a hurry.
At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: to leave this city as soon as possible and get as far away as possible.
After Ah Yin left, Su Mo, who had been standing there, withdrew his gaze, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He never expected to run into Ah Yin here.
Want to leave? That's impossible.
Even if Tang Hao were still alive—let alone the fact that he had already died in the City of Slaughter.
He would not let Tang Hao get Ah Yin; he would definitely find an opportunity to intercept her.
Moreover, Su Mo also felt a bit curious.
Now that Tang Hao was gone, if he were to take Ah Yin as well, would the original protagonist, Tang San, still be able to appear on Douluo Continent?
Composing himself, Su Mo looked at the branch hall master who was bowing respectfully to the side and instructed him:
"I'm leaving now. You're in charge of cleaning up this mess."
The branch hall master immediately bowed respectfully. "Yes, Your Highness! We will see His Highness off!"
Su Mo nodded slightly and then turned to leave.
In the crowd, an elderly figure suddenly knelt down with a thud.
It was the same old man who had been selling vegetables before.
Seeing Su Mo about to leave, he raised his wrinkled face, tears streaming down his cheeks. His voice was choked yet firm as he repeatedly kowtowed to Su Mo, saying:
"Your Highness, you are our great benefactor! If it weren't for you, we common people would not know how much longer we would have been oppressed. Thank you, thank you..."
The old man's words were like a fuse, instantly igniting the entire long street.
All around, people knelt down, forming a dark mass as they lay prostrate.
Soon, cries of gratitude echoed down the long street.
"We will never forget His Highness's great kindness."
"Your Highness, please take care and stay safe."
"Get up, there's no need for this," Su Mo said calmly, his expression unchanged.
He did all this only for his own divine examination; he had merely happened to encounter the destruction of the Zhao family.
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo's figure swayed slightly and disappeared from the spot.
The people remained kneeling, their eyes fixed intently on the place where Su Mo had just stood, unwilling to rise for a long time.
...
...
Most of the common people in the city had flocked to the city center, and the usually bustling streets and alleys were unusually quiet at this moment.
In a secluded alley, Ah Yin hurried toward the outskirts of the city.
Every so often, she looked back, her eyes scanning behind her warily, as if afraid someone was chasing her.
At that moment, her heart was pounding in her chest, almost leaping out of her throat.
Fortunately, no one followed her until she walked out of the city gate.
She immediately found a secluded path and quickly left. Her figure soon disappeared into the shadows of the trees by the roadside.
As she passed by, the blue silver grass in the jungle swayed gently, as if kneeling in worship of their emperor.
As the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin's subjects were all the Blue Silver Grass that covered the continent.
Those blue silver grasses could transmit information to her, like countless spies scattered across the land.
That was why, even though she was not strong enough now, she dared to walk alone along these paths.
Wherever Blue Silver Grass grew, the slightest movement within a radius of several miles could not escape her perception.
Sunset.
Ah Yin had run far away and entered a sparsely populated mountain forest.
In the mountains and forests, birdsong filled the air, and a gentle mountain breeze blew, creating a scene of tranquility and peace.
"Looks like I was overthinking it..."
Ah Yin breathed a long sigh of relief and patted her chest.
Only then did she finally feel completely at ease.
However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.
When Ah Yin saw the person clearly, her breath hitched and her pupils contracted sharply.
It was him!
That Holy Son of the Spirit Hall who had slaughtered the entire Zhao family!
How did he end up here?
When did he arrive?
Why didn't the surrounding Blue Silver Grass give her any warning?
Immediately, a terrifying thought exploded in Ah Yin's mind.
Did he really discover her true identity?
Was it because the commotion in the city was too great that he deliberately blocked this place?
But the opponent was so young. There was no way he could have reached the level of a Soul Douluo.
Even if he was the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, exceptionally talented and nurtured with the Spirit Hall's resources, it was impossible for him to be this monstrous.
Perhaps he just happened to be passing by?
Calm down, you must calm down!
Ah Yin kept reminding herself of this.
She quickly suppressed her panic and forced herself to calm down.
She took a deep breath, forced a smile, and tried to keep her tone natural:
"Your Highness, what... what are you doing here? What a coincidence..."
Su Mo looked down at her, his gaze slowly and deliberately sweeping over her.
Looking at her up close, Ah Yin was indeed charming and beautiful.
She had delicate features and possessed a natural beauty even without makeup.
Especially those eyes, as clear as mountain streams.
However, perhaps because she was not strong enough at the moment and wanted to keep a low profile, her clothes were relatively simple.
At this moment, Su Mo calmly said, "I must say, you are really brave to run to a human city alone."
Although the strongest there was only a Soul Emperor, what if a powerful expert arrived someday?
Ah Yin's smile froze instantly.
What did he mean by that? Had he really discovered her true identity?
"You... you knew all along?"
Ah Yin's voice trembled slightly, and her delicate body tensed instantly.
Su Mo stared intently at Ah Yin, a playful smile on his face. "What do you think... a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Ah Yin was struck dumb, her pretty face turning deathly pale.
Oh no, he really figured it out!
Was today her death day?
No, no, she absolutely could not surrender!
