Tang Qing reached out and took the soul bone.
It feels warm and smooth to the touch, and a sense of intimacy, like a blood connection, instantly flows from the palm of your hand and spreads throughout your body.
It was as if this bone was rightfully his.
The right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.
He gripped the soul bone, his gaze falling once more on Tang San, who was still groaning on the ground, a faint smile playing on his lips.
The first step in resurrecting Mother has been completed.
On the other side of the valley, in the shadows, a figure stood silently.
Xueqing River.
She took in everything that happened there.
When Zhu Zhuqing held the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone high, even from a great distance, she could still feel the immense aura emanating from the very source of life.
The dazzling blue-gold radiance stirred up a storm in her usually calm eyes.
"Could this be... a soul bone from 100,000 years ago?"
Xue Qinghe muttered to himself.
Her heart skipped a beat at that moment.
A soul bone that's been around for 100,000 years!
Legendary treasure!
Throughout the entire continent, there are only a handful of Soul Masters who possess a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone!
The Spirit Hall, with its millennia-long heritage and profound foundation, could only manage to assemble a set of angelic divine armor for her.
Each soul bone in that set was said to be the limit of 99,999 years, but in the end, it fell short by a hair's breadth.
Xue Qinghe's gaze was fixed on the leg bone in Tang Qing's hand, his eyes burning with such intensity that they seemed to ignite the air.
She thought about her plans and the future.
If we could get our hands on this soul bone...
However, the thought only flashed through her mind before she forcibly suppressed it.
She looked at the figure in the flowing blue robe, and at the sky dyed green by the realm of life, and a sense of dread rose in her heart.
This man is too strong.
Besides, I don't need it myself.
...
In the field.
Tang Qing gently stroked the soul bone in his hand, feeling the life energy contained within it that shared the same origin as his own bloodline.
He raised his eyes and looked at Tang Hao, who was hanging in mid-air and looked like a madman.
The soul bone has been obtained.
So now, all that's left is your ninth spirit ring.
The soul bone is the foundation, and the soul ring is the guide.
Once these two things are gathered together, the mother's spirit and life essence can be reunited.
Tang Qing ignored Tang Hao and his son.
He turned around and slowly walked towards the waterfall that cascaded down from the sky.
Amidst the rushing water, he took a step forward, and the surging water seemed to come alive, automatically parting to both sides to make way for him.
Behind the water curtain, a hidden world unfolds.
A secluded cave appeared before us.
The cave is not large, but its interior is filled with an intense and pervasive sense of life.
In the very center of the cave, a crystal-blue Blue Silver Grass was growing quietly.
Each of its leaves is like a piece of the purest blue crystal, with a faint golden halo flowing along its veins, exuding a noble and gentle aura.
Ah Yin.
Tang Qing's gaze softened the moment he saw the Blue Silver Grass.
He stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and reached out his hand, wanting to touch that familiar leaf, but stopped halfway, afraid of disturbing her slumber.
"Mother."
He called softly.
"I've come to take you home."
As he spoke, he took out a white jade flowerpot that he had prepared beforehand from his storage soul tool.
He carefully channeled his soul power to lift the soil covering the Blue Silver Emperor's roots completely, and then gently transplanted her into the flowerpot.
After doing all this, Tang Qing let out a long sigh of relief.
He stood up, solemnly picked up the flowerpot with both hands, and turned to walk out of the Water Curtain Cave.
When Tang Qing's figure reappeared in everyone's sight.
In his hand, there was a pot of gracefully swaying blue silver grass.
"Ah Yin!"
Tang Hao, who was still cursing wildly, froze the moment he saw the pot of Blue Silver Grass.
His pupils suddenly contracted!
In those bloodshot eyes, anger, grief, regret... all sorts of emotions intertwined, and finally, they turned into boundless panic!
"Let her go!"
"Put Ah Yin down!"
Tang Hao's voice was hoarse, with a hint of pleading.
With red eyes, he watched as his son had his leg severed, yet he still managed to maintain the last shred of dignity befitting a strong man.
But now, when he sees his wife in such a vulnerable state, being held in the palm of the enemy's hand, he is filled with awe.
All his defenses have completely collapsed!
That's Ah Yin!
She was the lover he swore to protect with his life!
Previously, he was extremely confident that as long as he regained his strength, he could snatch Ah Yin back at any time.
But now, reality has given him a resounding slap in the face.
He lost.
They suffered a complete and utter defeat.
Forget about getting Ah Yin back, he's now in someone else's hands for his own life.
He won't allow it!
He would not tolerate anyone blaspheming his lover in front of him!
Tang Qing ignored his roar, simply lowered her head, and gently brushed the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass with her fingers, her movements extremely gentle.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Tang Hao with disdain.
"Tang Hao, you should think about yourself."
After saying that, he stopped looking at Tang Hao and turned his gaze to Tang San, who was still convulsing on the ground.
"Tang San".
Tang Qing's voice was very calm.
"Go and teach your good father a lesson."
The excruciating pain from his broken leg made Tang San's consciousness somewhat blurred, but he heard those words clearly.
He struggled to lift his head, his face covered in blood, and looked at Tang Qing with fear and hatred in his eyes.
"No..."
"He is my father... I can't do this!"
Upon hearing these words, Tang Hao, who was in despair mid-air, felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He looked at his son, a hint of relief in his eyes.
mistress...
My mistress is still my good son after all!
He wasn't blinded by hatred; he still had feelings for his father!
However, Tang Qing's next words completely crushed his last glimmer of hope.
"oh?"
Tang Qing looked at Tang San with great interest.
"He has a lot of backbone."
"In that case, I'll have to think of a way to make you listen to me."
He stroked his chin, as if pondering an interesting question.
"You've already lost a leg, so how about... I turn you into a eunuch?"
"Or, should we cut off your remaining leg and both arms as well?"
"If we cut off your tongue, gouge out your eyes, and turn you into a human pig, and put you in a jar, that would be quite interesting."
With each word Tang Qing spoke, Tang San's face paled a little more.
When he heard the words "human pig," the hairs on his entire body stood on end!
fear!
An unprecedented fear overwhelmed him like a tidal wave!
Having lost a leg, he was now disabled!
If they were turned into some kind of inhuman monster, how could they possibly survive?
That's ten thousand times more painful than death!
"No...no!"
Tang San was so frightened that he forgot the pain of his broken leg and desperately crawled backward on the ground like a pitiful maggot.
"Don't do this to me!"
"I'll do it!"
"Fine, I'll do it! Please! Let me go!"
He completely broke down, tears streaming down his face, no longer displaying any of his previous righteous indignation.
This scene struck Tang Hao like a thunderbolt.
His initial sense of relief vanished instantly, leaving only a chilling cold.
"The mistress!"
He panicked and shouted at Tang San at the top of his lungs.
"You can't do this! He's lying to you! Even if you do as he says, he won't let you off the hook!"
Tang San was no longer listening to him.
All he wanted now was to escape the torture he was enduring.
He turned his head, looked at Tang Hao, and forced an expression that was worse than crying.
"Father..."
"I had no choice... Please don't blame me..."
