"We're family, no need to be so formal," Tang Xiao chuckled, slowly closing the door and sitting down next to Tang San. "Little San, how have you been recovering lately?"
"Thanks to my uncle for finding rare medicine, my injuries have basically healed."
"It's good that you've recovered," Tang Xiao thought with a hint of joy. He said in a deep voice, "In that case, I plan to take you to Holy Soul Village to pay respects to your mother and take the 100,000-year-old soul bone she left you. Your mother's true form is Blue Silver Grass, which is very good at vitality. The soul bone she left behind may be helpful for your severed arm."
Upon hearing this, Tang San subconsciously touched his empty right sleeve and nodded emphatically.
"It's all up to Uncle!"
"Alright, let's set off now, just in case something goes wrong."
Seeing that Tang San agreed, Tang Xiao nodded and made a suggestion in a deep voice.
Tang San slowly stood up, remembering the cane, and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and said softly, "Uncle, I want to bring Dad's body with me as well."
"Why?" Tang Xiao asked.
“I want to bury my father and mother together. I think that’s what they would want too. Besides, the sect has always opposed my father being buried in the sect’s cemetery. I don’t want to put my uncle in a difficult position.”
Upon hearing Tang San's emotionless words, Tang Xiao's heart trembled violently.
“Little San, your father is my younger brother, and naturally a member of the Haotian Sect. No matter what, he is qualified to enter the sect's mausoleum. So no matter how many people oppose me, I will insist. Do you believe your uncle?”
Tang San slowly shook his head. "Of course I believe Uncle, but I think Dad would prefer to be buried with Mom. Even if Dad can be buried in the sect's mausoleum, the elders will definitely not allow Mom to be buried there as well. Perhaps Holy Soul Village is their best resting place. I hope Uncle can grant their wish."
After he finished speaking, the two fell silent.
After a long while, a helpless sigh quietly rang out.
"I'm sorry to Brother Hao, and I'm sorry to you, Xiao San," Tang Xiao said in a deep voice, his expression full of desolation. "If this is your request, I will grant it. Perhaps, as you said, Brother Hao would prefer to be buried with Ah Yin rather than be buried in the sect's cemetery."
Tang Hao, the sect slave who is already dead: I didn't!
Tang San slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle!"
"Alright, since you've made your decision, then take Hao's body with you. We'll bury him with your mother when we get to Holy Soul Village."
Due to the strong obstruction from those old guys in the Haotian Sect, Tang Hao's burial was delayed. Fortunately, Tang Xiao had prepared an ice coffin in advance, which prevented the body from rotting.
After placing the ice coffin into the soul tool, Tang Xiao took Tang San and left the Haotian Sect.
After several days of travel, the uncle and nephew, weary from their journey, finally arrived at Holy Soul Village.
"Is this where you and Hao live, mistress?"
Tang Xiao looked at the simple village in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly, and a pang of sorrow rose in his heart. He could probably imagine how much suffering the two of them had endured over the years.
"Uncle, let's go find Mother's burial place first!" Tang San's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice.
Whenever he saw this familiar scene, he couldn't help but think of his father. The oppressive emotions made him feel suffocated, and he could only choose to escape.
"let's go!"
Tang Xiao naturally realized this as well, and continued forward with Tang San.
Without alerting anyone, the two quickly arrived at the back mountain of Holy Soul Village.
Although the exact location was unknown, Tang Hao had given him a general description before his death, and after searching for a while, Tang Xiao also found the waterfall.
"It should be right here!"
Looking at the waterfall in front of him, Tang Xiao reached out and grabbed Tang San's shoulder, gripped the Clear Sky Hammer with his other hand, and then leaped into the waterfall like a cannonball.
The immense soul power surged, instantly cutting off the waterfall's flow, which then surged upwards.
"found it!"
After traveling about halfway, a cave came into view.
Without hesitation, Tang Xiao picked up Tang San and flashed into the cave.
The two drove straight in, entering the depths of the cave. The previously dim environment instantly lit up, revealing the vast open space.
However, Tang Xiao looked around but could not find the Blue Silver Grass.
"No, where is my mother? She should be here, but why isn't she here?" Tang San's heart sank.
"Wait!" Tang Xiao arrived at the mound and found many footprints on the ground. Although they were somewhat blurred, the patterns were still roughly discernible.
Looking at the obvious signs of damage on the mound, Tang Xiao's expression turned extremely grim.
“Someone came before us and took your mother away!”
Upon hearing this, Tang San's face also turned ashen.
Damn it, they're not even sparing Blue Silver Grass?!
"Little San, Brother Hao left your mother's soul bones here too, hurry up and look for them!" Tang Xiao suddenly thought of something and spoke seriously.
Tang San also realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly nodded.
The two immediately began to search carefully around them, leaving no stone unturned, whether it was the rock walls, the ground, or even the inside of the mounds of earth, but they found nothing.
"Even their soul bones have been taken!"
Tang Xiao and Tang San's faces were so gloomy they looked like they were about to bleed.
That's a 100,000-year-old soul bone. Ordinary soul bones are already incredibly precious, let alone a 100,000-year-old soul bone, which could easily cause a bloodbath.
But now, it has simply disappeared.
"How could anyone find such a hidden place!" Tang San was clearly unwilling to accept this fact. This was not only his mother's belongings, but also concerned whether his severed limbs could be restored.
"Uncle, could it be that villagers from Holy Soul Village accidentally entered this place and took away my mother's remains and soul bones?"
The blow was so great that Tang San almost lost his mind.
Tang Xiao shook his head slightly, "Impossible. The waterfall outside alone is not something ordinary people can withstand. Only a Soul Master could pass through the waterfall to enter this place. It must be that a Soul Master of considerable strength happened to come here and took your mother and your mother's soul bone away. Damn it!"
At this point, Tang Xiao was naturally furious.
Such a precious soul bone was picked up by some lucky soul master.
"Uncle, what do we do now?"
Tang San opened his mouth, unable to resist asking.
After thinking calmly for a moment, Tang Xiao slowly raised his head. "There's nothing we can do. Although there are many traces left here, they are all useless information. This place is not far from Holy Soul Village. Now we can only go to the village and ask if any Soul Masters have come here in the last year or two."
"We even want to visit other villages nearby!"
Whether it's the 100,000-year-old soul bone or the re-implanted Ah Yin, they cannot be lost; they must be found!
"Let's go, mistress!"
"Ok!"
Tang San knew that this was the only thing he could do for the time being, so he quickly followed Tang Xiao out of the cave.
'Damn it! How dare you desecrate my mother's body and steal her belongings! Whoever you are, you deserve to die! I will not let you get away with this!'
Tang San clenched his fists, his heart filled with hatred.
……
"A-choo! A-choo!! A-choo!!!"
Lin Chuan, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly sneezed three times in a row.
"Brother Chuan, are you alright?" Ye Lingling asked with concern.
Lin Chuan shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing. It's probably some shady character badmouthing me behind my back. That's all they're capable of."
Just then, the carriage slowly came to a stop, and a soft knocking sound came from the side of the carriage.
"Lord Lin, we've arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"Oh? Are we finally here?"
Lin Chuan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance and smiled.
Chapter 148 Offensive and defensive changes
"let's go!"
Lin Chuan took Ye Lingling's hand and they both jumped off the carriage.
The fresh air is invigorating, and the air is filled with the fragrance of nature.
"We've finally arrived," Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly. "You've had a tough journey. It might be dangerous from here on out, so you should head back to Snowfield City first. Also, please let Aunt Ye know we're safe."
"Yes, Lord Lin and Miss, please be careful."
The Ye family disciples were well aware that with his strength, staying would only be a burden, so they did not insist.
"You too, be careful on your way back."
After giving a few brief instructions, the Ye family disciples drove the carriage away.
Lin Chuan slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at Ye Lingling beside him. "Lingling, let's go. The Star Dou Great Forest is full of dangers. From now on, you must stay by my side."
Ye Lingling nodded gently, "Okay, Brother Chuan, I've sensed the exact location."
