Chapter 61: Su Yuntao's Letter, Danger Approaches for the Tang Father and Son!
Holy Soul Village, inside the blacksmith's workshop.
Because there were many father-son pairs named Tang Hao and Tang San across the continent,
and since their information hadn't caught Spirit Hall's attention, Tang Hao—having just exited the livestream—couldn't help but feel a stroke of good luck.
Still, as a former Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao didn't let his guard down. He looked at Tang San and asked in a deep voice,
"Xiao San, besides the villagers here, is there anyone else who knows about us?"
Tang San fell into thought upon hearing this, and a certain person came to mind.
It was a Soul Grandmaster whose martial soul was the Lone Wolf, known as Master Su Yuntao.
"There's one person. He was the Soul Grandmaster who awakened my martial soul three months ago. I think he's a deacon from the Spirit Hall sub-branch in Nuoding City. His name is Su Yuntao. He knows my name, but he probably doesn't know yours, Dad."
"Dad, should we kill him?"
Tang San asked hesitantly as he looked toward Tang Hao.
Tang Hao frowned slightly at the question, visibly conflicted.
Though their identities had now been exposed and being found by Spirit Hall was only a matter of time, he wasn't eager to leave Holy Soul Village just yet.
He still wanted to search the surrounding area for Ah Yin , hoping to find her.
Spirit Hall hadn't located them yet—maybe it would be safe to wait a little longer?
"I'll go check. If he's noticed us and plans to report to Spirit City, I'll kill him and take you away. If not, we'll wait."
Tang Hao finally responded solemnly.
Killing wasn't the best solution.
Besides, the villagers of Holy Soul Village also knew their names.
Was he supposed to kill all of them too?
As a former Title Douluo, Tang Hao couldn't bring himself to harm unarmed, innocent people.
And besides, the villagers likely hadn't made the connection.
The version of him shown in the livestream looked very different from his current, disheveled appearance.
Even his own father wouldn't recognize him right now, let alone the villagers.
The same went for Tang San—his hair alone was a completely different color from the livestream version.
That alone would cast enough doubt in anyone's mind.
If he walked around Holy Soul Village openly and without concealment, it might actually reassure the villagers.
But if he started acting secretive, it could raise suspicion.
As for Su Yuntao, the Spirit Hall deacon Tang San mentioned, Tang Hao didn't plan to kill him immediately either.
That would be too obvious.
If Su Yuntao died, the Nuoding sub-branch would definitely investigate.
And if they discovered that three months ago he awakened a Blue Silver Grass soul master with innate full soul power—Tang San—the fallout would be even worse.
So Tang Hao decided to observe first. If Su Yuntao seemed oblivious, he'd leave him alone.
But if he appeared suspicious or made a move toward Spirit City, then Tang Hao would eliminate him and flee with Tang San.
That was the final option. Tang Hao still hoped it wouldn't come to that.
He didn't want to leave yet—not until he found his hidden wife, Ah Yin .
Meanwhile, at the Spirit Hall sub-branch in Nuoding City,
after exiting the livestream, Su Yuntao had quickly written a letter and attached it to a white-feathered carrier pigeon.
The pigeon was dispatched to a nearby city,
where the letter would then be delivered to Spirit City via an official Spirit Hall courier.
Afterward, Su Yuntao carried on as usual in the branch hall, pretending nothing had happened.
He knew the risks he faced—but wealth and safety lay in danger.
No matter what he chose,
if the Tang San from Holy Soul Village truly was the Clear Sky Douluo's son,
Tang Hao would likely suspect him and send someone to monitor him.
His life now hung on Tang Hao's whim, so all he could do was prepare as best he could.
If Tang Hao killed him, at least his letter would serve as revenge.
And as expected,
by the time Tang Hao arrived in Nuoding City, Su Yuntao had covered his tracks.
After observing him for a while and finding nothing suspicious,
Tang Hao followed the road from Nuoding to Spirit City, investigating for couriers, flying soul masters, or carrier pigeons.
But he found nothing.
This put Tang Hao at ease. He no longer suspected Su Yuntao.
However, in a city near Spirit City,
in a special courier office responsible for transmitting messages between Spirit Hall's branches and headquarters,
the letter from Su Yuntao's white-feathered pigeon had arrived.
The moment it was received, a Soul Elder-ranked flying-type soul master was urgently dispatched to deliver it to Spirit City.
…
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Spirit City Junior Soul Master Academy finally began its new term.
With its opening,
Lin Yu officially enrolled and began his focused study of Douluo Continent's language, soul master knowledge, soul master society, and soul beasts.
Since learning had always been his goal in Spirit City, he took his studies seriously.
In the days that followed, Lin Yu spent his mornings studying at the academy,
his afternoons in the library, and his evenings cultivating at home.
This frustrated Hu Liena greatly.
She had been trying to grow closer to Lin Yu to win him over emotionally for Spirit Hall.
But after the initial few days where they spent time together,
Lin Yu had plunged into intense study and barely paid her any attention.
What was she supposed to do now?
For the first time ever, Hu Liena found herself resenting a diligent student.
But then—
a flying-type soul master arrived in Spirit City all the way from the Heaven Dou Empire, delivering a letter directly to the appropriate department.
The letter was marked as highly urgent—it concerned the Clear Sky Douluo and his son Tang San, who were currently being hunted by Spirit Hall.
The moment the officials realized this,
they didn't dare delay.
The letter was immediately prepared to be handed to Pope Bibi Dong.
At that moment, in the study beside the Pope's Hall,
Bibi Dong was reviewing internal Spirit Hall affairs.
Suddenly, a Temple Knight approached the study, saluted with a fist to his chest, and respectfully announced,
"Your Holiness, a letter has arrived from Nuoding City in the Heaven Dou Empire."
"It concerns the fugitives—Clear Sky Douluo and his son—wanted by Spirit Hall."
