Yan and Qian Renxue are preparing to attack the Xingluo Empire.

the other side.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stepped onto the solid land of the continent, but their hearts were heavy.

After some inquiries, they were shocked to find that half of the land of the once glorious Xingluo Empire had become the territory of the Wuhun Empire.

At this moment, they are in the territory of the Wuhun Empire, which originally belonged to the Xingluo Empire.

Dai Mubai's face turned pale, his fists were clenched, and there was an unyielding light in his eyes.

As the crown prince of the Xing Luo Empire, he could not tolerate the humiliation suffered by the empire.

"The Spirit Hall is going too far! How can we allow others to trample on the territory of our Xingluo Empire? I, Dai Mubai, swear to lead my people to take back every inch of land that belongs to us!"

Seeing this, Tang San patted Dai Mubai's shoulder gently and said comfortingly:

"Mu Bai, I understand your feelings, but the road to revenge requires careful planning. The Spirit Hall is a huge force, so we need to take a long-term view and make a comprehensive plan. Now, the most important thing is to return to Xingluo City and prepare for future battles."

"Yes, Boss Dai. Let's go back to Xingluo City first and then make a long-term plan."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also came forward, comforting Dai Mubai from the left and right.

Tang San planned to meet his mother first, and then go to the center of the Star Dou Great Forest to see if the Sky Blue Bull Python was still in the place Xiao Wu said.

This place was not far from the place where he and Tang Hao had practiced secretly. His mother was buried in the stone chamber behind the waterfall.

He then proposed his own arrangement:

"Mu Bai, Rong Rong, Zhu Qing, please return to Xing Luo City first. I have some personal matters to take care of."

"Xiao San, aren't you going back with us?"

"Yes. You guys go back first. I'll be back to meet you guys soon after I finish my personal business."

Dai Mubai nodded. Although he was anxious, he also understood Tang San's considerations.

"Okay, Xiaosan, we'll see you in Xingluo City! You must be careful, I and everyone else will be waiting for you to come back!"

"Yeah. Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Afterwards, the four of them separated temporarily.

Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing embarked on the journey back to Xingluo City.

Tang San turned and left in another direction.

~~~~~~
Tang San took heavy steps and slowly came to the waterfall hidden deep in the mountains.

The water flowed like a ribbon, and the roar seemed to echo the laughter of the past when he was practicing with his father Tang Hao.

However, the cruelty of reality was like a sharp blade, deeply hurting his heart.

His father, the man who had protected and taught him, had left him forever, killed by Yan and the people from the Spirit Hall.

Tang San took a deep breath, walked through the splashing water droplets, and stepped into the familiar yet unfamiliar stone chamber.

The room was dark, with only a ray of light shining through the gap, illuminating the slightly raised mound of earth.

That is the resting place of his mother Yin.

A few years later, the small mound still retains its original appearance, but the blue silver grass on it has grown a little taller.

Tang San knelt down slowly, and the moment his knees touched the ground, all his strength and forbearance turned into tears and slid down silently.

He stared at the blue silver grass, as if he could see his mother's gentle eyes and hear her soft admonitions.

He choked up and poured out the pain in his heart:

"Mom, I am unfilial and failed to protect Dad. He is already... He is gone, and there is not even a complete body left."

Tang San's tears fell on the soft leaves of the Blue Silver Grass, as if every drop carried his thoughts for his mother and grief for his father's death. The Blue Silver Grass seemed to feel his pain, trembling constantly, then spreading and embracing him.

Being tightly wrapped by the blue silver grass, Tang San instantly felt the comfort and warmth from his mother.

In this warm current, he seemed to forget all his worries and pains and fell asleep quietly.
The next day, Tang San woke up.

He had never slept as deeply as he did last night in several years.

He knew he had more important things to do and had to leave.

"Mom, I have experienced a lot and grown a lot in the past few years. I know that you have always been with me and given me strength. I am no longer the child who needs your and dad's protection. I have obtained the Nine Tests of Poseidon, become the heir of Poseidon, and possess the artifact Poseidon's Trident."

As Tang San spoke, he took out the Seagod Trident from his arms.

The golden light circulated around him, adding a sacred aura to him.

"Mom, this is the Trident of Poseidon."

Holding the Seagod Trident, Tang San was full of confidence.

"Mom, everything that happened to you and father was the fault of the Spirit Hall! I swear, I must kill Yan with my own hands, destroy the Spirit Hall, and avenge you!"

Having said that, a hint of firmness and determination flashed in Tang San's eyes.

He raised his head, letting the tears flow freely down his face, and continued:
"Mom, I have important things to do and cannot stay with you. Please rest assured that I am not depressed. I will carry your and Dad's expectations and move towards a more glorious future."

After Tang San finished speaking, he kowtowed three times deeply, bidding farewell to his mother and his past self.

Then he stood up, wiped his tears, turned around and left the stone chamber, crossed the waterfall, and set out on his journey again.

He was going to the lake in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest to look for the Azure Bull Python.

~~~~~~~~
Tang San came to the center of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Passing through the dense trees, a wide expanse of water appeared before Tang San's eyes.

The lake is as calm as a mirror, like a sapphire embedded in the depths of the forest, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, so beautiful that it seems out of this world.

Tang San looked around, feeling both expectant and anxious.

He heard from Xiao Wu that the Sky Blue Bull Python had been cultivating for more than 100,000 years and was the overlord of this forest.

He searched the surroundings carefully, hoping to find any trace of the soul beast.

But there seems to be nothing here.

"Da Ming, I am Xiao Wu's friend Tang San, are you still here?"

Tang San tried to convey his purpose to the Sky Blue Bull Python.

However, no response was received.

He couldn't help but feel doubtful.

"Did I find the wrong place? Or is Daming no longer here?"

Thinking of this, Tang San released his martial soul and eighth soul ring, trying to use Xiao Wu's soul and breath in the soul ring to attract the attention of the Sky Blue Bull Python.

But to his disappointment, there was still no response from the lake.

"It seems that it is really not here."

Tang San sighed, put away his martial spirit and spirit ring, and prepared to leave with a bit of loss and unwillingness.

The moment he turned and left, an inexplicable premonition surged in his heart.

He didn't know where this premonition came from, but his intuition told him that the Azure Bull Python might no longer be there, and he might never see it again. (End of this chapter)
