Under the moonlight.
Tang Hao and Tang San appeared outside of Holy Soul Village.
However, they did not slow down their pace or stop, heading straight for a forest on the outskirts of Holy Soul Village.
It was a familiar place.
In the mountain stream.
Tang Hao took Tang San to the place where he had buried Ah Yin before.
This time, besides wanting to use Ah Yin to continue to fuel his son's hatred towards the Martial Soul Hall, Tang Hao also wanted to see if his son had developed any more exquisite soul techniques during his absence.
He also planned to take some hidden weapon blueprints from Tang San.
After all, Tang Hao was one of the few remaining god-level craftsmen in the world.
He had seen the hidden weapons made by his son Tang San before.
At first glance, those hidden weapons seemed simple, but they were actually ingeniously designed.
Not something an ordinary person could come up with.
And making them was not an easy task either.
But for Tang Hao, it was a piece of cake!
However, Tang Hao did not rush to discuss this matter with his son Tang San.
He thought it would be better to wait until after they met Ah Yin and after Tang San's emotional fluctuations to mention it.
"Alright, son, we're here. Go in and see your mother," Tang Hao said as he reached the secret chamber, touched the mechanism, opened the cave, and gestured for Tang San to go in first.
"Okay."
Tang San nodded slightly and immediately went in.
Tang Hao did not rush in.
In his opinion, Tang San, being young, would surely have a lot to say after seeing his mother.
Although he did not have much real affection for Ah Yin, he did not intend to destroy the emotional connection between his son and Ah Yin.
"It's actually good to thank this foolish woman; otherwise, I wouldn't have such a genius son," Tang Hao thought to himself with satisfaction.
His previous assumption had now been verified.
The child born from a human and a hundred-thousand-year soul beast not only could be born in human form but also possessed the powerful talent of twin martial souls!
And even smarter than ordinary people!
However, Tang Hao still had a bit of a grudge against Tang San.
After all, the latter was not a pure human.
There might come a day when, as Tang San cultivated his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, the soul beast bloodline in his body would gradually strengthen, possibly leading to his transformation into a soul beast and losing their control.
This was not something Tang Hao wanted to see.
"I need to find a way to limit Xiao San. I remember there should be some secret technique within our sect that can prevent..." Tang Hao's eyes flickered with an indecisive light.
Just as he was contemplating how to control his son in the future, suddenly, a voice came from inside the cave.
"Dad, my mom is gone."
Tang Hao: ??
Hearing this, Tang Hao immediately rushed into the cave and quickly came to Tang San's side.
What surprised Tang Hao happened again.
The spot where he had buried Ah Yin's seed was now just a pit.
And Ah Yin, who had always lived here, was gone?!
How is that possible?!
"Dad, what's happening?"
"Why is my mom gone?" Tang San asked, puzzled, standing next to Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was naturally stunned as well.
But in a flash, a bold idea appeared in Tang Hao's mind.
That was that Ah Yin had resurrected!
And even gained her own independent consciousness.
And could move on her own.
The last time they came back, the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone soul bone that Ah Yin left behind was gone.
At that time, Tang Hao was wondering if it was possible that Ah Yin had absorbed it herself.
After all, that soul bone was also a part of Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor's power.
If Ah Yin truly absorbed that soul bone and used its power to regain her human form...
Thinking of this, Tang Hao gasped, then shook his head vigorously.
Impossible!
To transform into a human form, it would take at least a hundred thousand years!
Only a few decades have passed; unless a deity performed a miracle, Ah Yin could not possibly have regained her human form!
That leaves another possibility... someone sneaked in and took Ah Yin away!
Tang Hao released his soul power, enveloping and sensing the surroundings, covering the entire cave within his sensing range.
Seeing his father's serious expression, Tang San did not dare to disturb him.
After a while, Tang Hao withdrew his soul power.
His face was extremely grim at this moment, as there was not a single trace left behind!
Who could have done this?!
"Xiao San, this is bad, your mother might have been taken away," Tang Hao voiced his speculation.
"How is that possible?!"
Tang San exclaimed in shock: "Isn't this the most hidden place chosen by you, Dad?"
"Could someone else have discovered this place?"
Tang Hao shook his head: "I am not a god. Perhaps some people, or even intelligent soul beasts, have managed to open the mechanism here, then seeing Ah Yin, who is different from other Blue Silver Grasses, decided to take her away!"
"Darn it!" Tang Hao cursed under his breath.
He regretted not taking Ah Yin with him when he left last time.
The Blue Silver Grass that Ah Yin had evolved into, after all, was transformed from the seed of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, making it incomparably noble compared to other Blue Silver Grasses.
If Tang San could cultivate his soul power to level ninety, it might even be possible for Ah Yin to sacrifice herself for him again, allowing him to gain another hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
Hearing that his mother might have been taken away, Tang San's eyes instantly reddened with anger!
"Dad, isn't there any way to find Mom?" Tang San asked with a hoarse voice.
Tang Hao shook his head.
But then he said, "If your martial soul can evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor, and your mental power becomes strong enough, maybe you could communicate with all the Blue Silver Grasses on the Douluo Continent and find your mom through them."
Mental power!
A glimmer of hope arose in Tang San's heart.
He had cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, which greatly enhanced his mental power!
And, as he knew from his time in Tang Sect, there was a mythical herb called "Autumn Begonia", which, upon consumption, could elevate his Purple Demon Eye to the highest realm and also enhance his mental power along with it!
Unfortunately, he had no idea where to find such a mythical herb.
Moreover, even if he found the herb, he would need to evolve his martial soul into the Blue Silver Emperor first!
The thought of evolving his martial soul filled Tang San with hatred towards Su Yun.
If not for Su Yun, his appearance wouldn't have been so dreadful!
Su Yun not only stole his martial soul but now also made it impossible for him to find his lost mother!
If it weren't for the Martial Soul Hall protecting Su Yun, he would have already used his hidden weapons to kill him and take back his rightful martial soul!
Seeing the hatred in Tang San's heart, Tang Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Xiao San, I know what you're thinking."
"You want to fight Su Yun as soon as possible, kill him, and take back the martial soul left by your mom, right?"
Tang San silently nodded.
Tang Hao continued, "You should know that there are still four years until your fight with Su Yun, and your battle with him could very well become the catalyst for a war between our Haotian Sect and the Martial Soul Hall."
After a moment of thought, Tang San nodded again.
He knew his father was right.
Su Yun was now a disciple of the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall.
If he killed him.
Regardless of the reasons, given the Martial Soul Hall's unreasonable nature, coupled with his being a child of a soul beast and a human, he would definitely be hunted by the Martial Soul Hall!
By then.
The Haotian Sect would definitely go to war with the Martial Soul Hall to protect him!
However, on the way here, Tang Hao had already laid out everything in advance, telling Tang San that although the Haotian Sect was currently gathering strength in secret, trying to recover its former power without being noticed by the Martial Soul Hall was inefficient.
"Xiao San, to overthrow the Martial Soul Hall, we need more than just our Haotian Sect."
"We also need the other two sects of the Upper Three Sects, and even other sects on the continent that have been oppressed by the Martial Soul Hall."
"Including the two great empires, we also need to win them over!"
Tang Hao looked into Tang San's eyes and said, "Although the Martial Soul Hall has a large number of soul masters, their numerical advantage would be easily defeated compared to the soldiers of our two great empires."
"But Dad, even though we have a numerical advantage, soul masters can fight against many alone. With ordinary soldiers, can we really defeat the Martial Soul Hall on the battlefield?"
Tang San expressed his doubts.
And for Tang San's doubts, Tang Hao was secretly pleased.
This was exactly the question he wanted to lead Tang San to ask, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Exactly, I and the elders in our sect have discussed your question."
"We all agree that as long as our soldiers are equipped with suitable weapons, we have the possibility of defeating the Martial Soul Hall!"
Tang Hao's gaze fell on Tang San's sleeve, "Xiao San, I know that you are not only a genius in cultivation but also have skills in blacksmithing that surpass mine from back in the day."
"The hidden weapons you've created, I've also tried to make them for some of the younger generation in our sect."
"But, I could never capture their essence."
"So, I hope you can provide some of the blueprints for those hidden weapons of yours, so I can take them back for research, to provide weapons for the disciples in our sect and our future allies."
Hearing that Tang Hao had also tried to make hidden weapons, Tang San felt a bit pleased.
He thought that with his father's strength as a titled Douluo, he would look down on his hidden weapons, considering them inferior.
Now, it seemed like his father acknowledged him.
"Dad, you don't know, there are many subtleties in the hidden weapons I've created. You being able to create imitations just from memory is already very impressive."
"Fortunately, I have many blueprints I've drawn up here. You can take them back and make more, even sell them to others if you like."
"This way, we can not only arm the disciples of our Haotian Sect but also earn some money for the sect."
Saying this, Tang San gave Tang Hao the blueprints for several hidden weapons he had used before.
Tang Hao's eyes gleamed with excitement, immediately taking them all.
