Tang San's heart-wrenching cry echoed in the silent house.
Every word seemed to be ripped out from deep within his chest.
He stretched out his hands tremblingly,
I want to hold Xiao Wu in my arms.
But those hands were shaking violently and uncontrollably.
The sadness is too overwhelming,
Still afraid...
Memories came flooding back like a tide, scenes flashing before my eyes.
"My name is Xiao Wu, the Wu that means dancing."
The girl's clear voice seemed to still be in my ears.
"Will you be my sister?"
The sunshine that day was so warm that it made people want to cry.
"If someone wants to hurt you one day, please let them step over my dead body first!"
The oath he had made was now like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.
Warm tears fell on Xiao Wu's snow-white fur, quickly leaving a wet mark.
cold...
Biting cold...
The chill that came from her gradually losing temperature body went all the way to the bottom of his heart.
Dai Mubai, who was standing by, turned around abruptly, his fists clenched until his knuckles turned white, unable to bear to watch this heartbreaking scene any longer.
This time,
Yu Xiaogang never reached out his hand.
He knew,
There was no one left to comfort Tang San.
After a moment's silence,
Tang San's voice was terrifyingly low and cold.
"Who... killed Xiao Wu..."
Tang San's eyes were extremely blood red.
That is murderous intent.
"It's Dugu Bo."
"Originally, I took my father, Grandpa Jian, and Grandpa Gu to look for Dugu Bo."
"But, it's still a step too late..."
"When we arrived at Dugu Bo's cave... Xiao Wu had already been killed by Dugu Bo..."
"Not only that, my father and Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Gu were all severely injured by Dugu Bo."
Ning Rongrong lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words,
Yu Xiaogang and Flanders both looked horrified.
Yu Xiaogang seemed to have heard it wrong and asked in disbelief:
"Rongrong, what did you say?"
"Dugu Bo injured Sect Master Ning, His Excellency Chen Xin and Gu Rong?"
"How is this possible?!"
"Could it be that Dugu Bo has other helpers?"
Ning Rongrong shook her head and said in a low voice:
"Without any help, Dugu Bo defeated Dad and the others on his own."
"His soul power seems to have broken through to level ninety-six, and he has seized Xiao Wu's soul bone and soul ring, and his strength has skyrocketed."
"What's even more terrifying is that he has a gourd-shaped weapon in his hand that can directly drain the soul master's original soul power."
The amount of information contained in these words was so great that Yu Xiaogang's thoughts almost stopped.
Dugu Bo absorbed the soul ring of a hundred thousand year old soul beast?
That strange gourd can actually extract the essence of the soul master?
This completely goes against everything he knows about soul master theory!
Looking at Yu Xiaogang's shocked expression, Ning Rongrong added in a low voice:
"My father speculated that Dugu Bo might have inherited the legacy of a certain deity."
"The inheritance of the gods...I see!"
Yu Xiaogang was shocked and muttered to himself.
"Only gods can arbitrarily increase the age of spirit rings. That gourd weapon must be a legendary artifact!"
"I never thought that the legends about the gods on the continent... were actually true."
The thought of this made him feel even colder.
An enemy of a future god?
This is undoubtedly a dead end.
He must not let Tang San seek revenge on Dugu Bo!
But Tang San saw through Yu Xiaogang's thoughts and said in a deep voice:
"Teacher, you don't have to persuade me."
"After learning of Xiao Wu's death, I can no longer live in peace."
"If I can't avenge Xiao Wu, then am I, Tang San, still worthy of being a human being?"
"Even if the other party is a god, what can it do?"
"If you kill Xiao Wu, you must pay with your life..."
Tang San's words were sonorous.
Seeing Tang San so stubborn, Yu Xiaogang shouted:
"good!"
"Even though you, Tang San, are not afraid of death, please think carefully about your parents!"
"There are many things you don't know yet because you don't have the ability to know them yet."
"The teacher can only tell you one thing."
"Your father needs your help."
"Only if you practice hard can you help him!"
"Similarly, if you want to seek revenge on Dugu Bo, you also need to practice diligently, gain the recognition of the gods, and inherit the gods to become a god!"
"Do you understand?"
When Tang San heard Yu Xiaogang's words, doubts arose in his heart again.
my father?
At that time, in order to scare Dugu Bo away, the teacher seemed to have mentioned my father as well.
Isn't my father a blacksmith in a remote village?
Could it be...?
After hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San finally regained his sanity.
Yes,
He still has a lot of things to do.
At least he had to finish all of this before he could be with Xiao Wu with peace of mind.
Tang San gently stroked Xiao Wu's hair, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry, I need you to wait."
"But I'll try to be with you soon."
"Dugu Bo...you'd better live until the moment I kill you..."
——————
Somewhere deep in the dense forest, a burly figure in a black robe was walking quickly.
Suddenly,
A huge hammer fell to the ground with a loud bang!
The ground shook and rocks flew everywhere.
Tang Hao paused, suddenly lifted his hood, and stared at the familiar Clear Sky Hammer.
"Is this the Haotian... Hammer?"
A figure walked out slowly from behind the hammer. It was the seventh elder Tang Lie.
Tang Hao's face darkened and his voice became hoarse:
"Seventh Elder, it was I, Tang Hao, who let the sect down for what happened back then."
"But I have something I have to do now, so please... don't stop me."
"When the matter is settled, I will return to the sect to apologize."
Tang Lie looked at his miserable appearance, his eyes filled with emotions, which eventually turned into a roar of anger:
"To be so embarrassed as to be such a dignified Haotian Douluo, is a complete disgrace to the sect!"
He habitually made a disparaging remark, then clenched his fists and turned away unwillingly.
"Tang Hao...come back."
Tang Hao originally thought that the Seventh Elder was here to fight him, but this sudden sentence left Tang Hao confused.
Come back...come back?
Where to go back?
Seeing that Tang Hao was hesitant to respond, Tang Lie quickly said:
"It's you who don't want to return to Haotian Sect, not me, Tang Laoqi, who didn't invite you."
These words instantly made Tang Hao's eyes blur with tears.
"Return to Haotian Sect?"
"You mean, Haotian Sect is willing to accept me?"
Tang Hao was so excited that he burst into tears of joy.
"Um."
"The Great Elder is back."
"He was the one who asked you to return to Haotian Sect."
Tang Lie said calmly.
"Grandfather, is he back?"
Tang Hao asked.
Tang Lie nodded and said calmly:
"good."
"Now our Haotian Sect has also announced its re-emergence."
"Although the Great Elder has allowed you to return, I will never forget what happened back then."
"It is an indisputable fact that you indirectly caused the death of my son."
Speaking of this,
Tang Lie paused and said in a calm voice:
"In the future, you should kill a few more people from the Spirit Hall to pay tribute to my son's spirit in heaven."
"Otherwise, my Clear Sky Hammer will fall on your face first."
After leaving these words,
Tang Lie jumped away.
