"Could the kid be distracted? Five hours have passed without any reaction!"
"The soul bone still can't be absorbed back into Xiaosan's body, could it be that the soul bone isn't suitable for him?"
"That shouldn't be possible!"
"Watching the soul bone continuously in sight, it didn't leave his field of vision for a long time."
"Tang Hao was getting a bit impatient, babbling on the spot all by himself!"
"He would glance at Tang San from time to time."
"The old man is really going through a midlife crisis, so irritable!"
Tang San's fantasized Ah Yin appeared in his mind.
"Tang San, remember what mom told you."
Ah Yin said, speaking up.
Teardrops glistened at the corner of Ah Yin's eyes; she covered half of her face with her right hand, afraid that Tang San would notice.
So as not to make both sides upset.
Then she turned and walked away to the back without looking back!
Her head didn't turn as she walked away.
At that moment, Tang San looked puzzled at Ah Yin walking away behind him.
His mother just walked away like that.
She didn't plan to say anything more!
Tang San watched his mother gradually leave him from behind!
She really had the heart to just leave like that!
"Hiss—!"
The Soul Ring lit up!
What's going on, it seems like it really can't be absorbed!!
Could it really be true?
Tang San gestured to absorb the soul bone into his body, but no matter what, he could not absorb it back; he was completely baffled!
This was the soul bone his mother left for him, could it be that Tang San was not their biological son?
Impossible!
Tang Hao noticed something was not quite right, realizing that Tang San was not in a good state!
"Xiaosan, how do you feel now?"
Then Tang Hao asked.
Seeing that Xiaosan had yet to respond, he remained sitting on the ground with his eyelids tightly closed!
So Tang Hao was about to wake Tang San up!
"Hiss—!"
Suddenly, the weather around turned gloomy.
Tang Hao released his Martial Soul!
He was seen holding the Hao Tian Hammer tightly in his hands!
Could it be that he was going to use the Hao Tian Hammer on his own son!?
"Pfff—!!"
Blood spurted out directly!
Tang San was in a very bad state!
Blood smeared over his mouth!!
"Xiaosan, Xiaosan, what's going on with you?"
Tang Hao quickly asked.
He sounded so anxious, it made him panic.
"I don't know what's happening, I can't absorb the soul bone back; father, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being useless, I've let you down, even more sorry to mom, she specifically left these Three Soul Bones for me, but I just can't absorb them. This just means that my own strength is still not up to par, making it impossible to absorb them and causing shame to you both."
Tang San said to his father.
"Xiaosan, what's this!?"
"Why are you bleeding, this soul bone was specifically told by your mother for me to leave to you, but how could this happen, it's all so baffling to me."
Could there be something wrong with the soul bone!
Tang Hao touched his head.
"???"
Suddenly, at that time, the Bluesilver Emperor's vines crawled onto Tang Hao as if they wanted to tell him something!
Tang Hao stroked the Bluesilver Emperor.
"Ah! What's going on now!"
```
The color of the Bluesilver Emperor seemed off too, having changed from a light blue to a dull grey, as if poisoned.
It was very likely that someone had stealthily poisoned it, leading to this change.
"Dad, what's happened to you??"
Tang San asked with a downcast demeanor.
At the moment, he seemed to have not yet noticed anything unusual or found the problem.
Because he couldn't absorb the soul bone, he was in a terrible state, so he wasn't in the mood to pay attention to the details!!
"Your mother had an incident, this Bluesilver Emperor is not real, it's fake, it seems the real Bluesilver Emperor was taken away by someone long ago, and a hybrid Bluesilver Emperor was planted to deceive us."
Tang Hao spoke in a stern tone.
At this point, his entire old face grew dark.
He blamed himself for not discovering the problem sooner, which explained why Tang San couldn't absorb the soul bone. With the real Bluesilver Emperor stolen, what face did they have to remain here, still thinking about absorbing a soul bone!
"Ah! What!?"
"I must have heard wrong, this Bluesilver Emperor is fake? I can't believe it's fake, but I saw it myself and nothing seemed wrong. Dad, you couldn't possibly have seen it wrong, could you?"
"How could this perfectly fine Bluesilver Emperor be fake? You couldn't be getting old and seeing things, right?"
Tang San said with an incredulous tone.
He truly couldn't believe his father's words, thinking he must have been affected by old age and the immense stress. With the issues with Martial Soul Hall still unresolved, it brought them significant pressure.
They had promised to avenge Ah Yin and it had to be done. But with such an incident occurring, who had the mind for revenge now? There was still so much to do regarding their vow of vengeance.
"I just said that mother was telling me all this while not to deal with Martial Soul Hall's matter myself, and that should apply in the future as well. But to just leave Martial Soul Hall be, I really can't accept that. Mother's revenge must be taken."
Tang San directly shared everything about his meeting with his mother!
This left Tang Hao bewildered!
What was wrong with this boy's brain?
It truly was unbelievable!
"Xiaosan, what did you just say? You saw mom? Where? Why didn't I see her?"
Could it be that Ah Yin had come back to life?
Tang Hao immediately spoke.
How he wished Ah Yin was still alive, that the three of them could live happily together!
But sadly, the past was irretrievable!
Tang Hao's eyes shone as he looked at Tang San.
"I saw mom in a hallucination, she made a point of telling me to take good care of you."
"Xiaosan, is this what mother told you? Then, didn't she tell you who took her Bluesilver Emperor away? That's the key point, didn't she tell you?"
Tang San just shook his head.
His mother, Ah Yin, didn't tell him who had stolen the Bluesilver Emperor!
"Does that mean Ah Yin had her own difficulties?"
Tang Hao said.
Difficulties!
What difficulties could his mother have?
"When I saw mother, nothing seemed amiss; we just made small talk for a bit."
"Also, regarding Martial Soul Hall's matters, she told us not to go after them anymore, not to seek revenge for her."
"That's impossible, the grudge Martial Soul Hall owes us must be repaid someday, we can't back down from the oath we took."
Indeed, Tang Hao had sworn in front of Martial Soul Hall, vowing to settle accounts with them so long as he breathed, waiting until Tang San came of age!
"But dad, what about my soul bone?"
"Dad, who could possibly dare to do such a thing, knowing exactly where mom's Martial Soul Bluesilver Emperor was planted? Didn't you avoid all outsiders at that time, so no one knew about this place? And even if they did, the Bluesilver Emperor was well-protected, wasn't it?"
A father and son conversation ensued.
Well-protected? Maybe not!
It's not like someone was watching over and guarding the Bluesilver Emperor at every moment!
"Who could it be, it's hard to guess. I chose this blessed place myself, no one knows of it. Ah Yin's seed was buried right here by me, but I regret not realizing sooner that this Bluesilver Emperor was a hybrid. Damn it, I must find a way to hunt down that person, kill them, and clear Ah Yin's name."
Tang Hao said, filled with anger.
"Boom—!"
The ground water burst forth violently into the sky.
Like a volcanic eruption!
A terrifying thought surged back into his mind!
