In the blink of an eye, Tang San had been away from the Slaughter City for a full seven days.
Constrained by his uncontrollable killing intent, Tang San pondered for a moment and decided to inform Tang Sui's news to Tang Hao only after they returned to the valley.
Who knew that after following Tang Hao for hundreds of kilometers, Tang San suddenly realized something was amiss. This wasn't the way back to the valley!
"Dad, where are you taking me?" Tang San became uneasy. He stopped and looked at Tang Hao, who had leaped out dozens of meters without him noticing, and refused to move any further.
Tang Hao, landing lightly on a tree branch, paused and turned his head slightly. "Naturally, I'm taking you to complete the final assessment I set for you."
Tang San's face showed surprise. "So... this isn't the way back to the valley?!"
Tang Hao frowned slightly. "Of course not. Your current killing intent is uncontrollable. Out there, you're like a moving target. Naturally, you need to wash away all the worldly dust. What's wrong?"
Tang San inwardly chided himself for not informing Tang Hao earlier. But if he had told his father from the start, what if his father had just waited at the exit and refused to leave?
What would a loving father do upon suddenly learning of his missing daughter's whereabouts? Tang San dared not estimate such a possibility.
Under his father's puzzled gaze, Tang San braced himself and spoke of Tang Sui's situation.
The calmness on Tang Hao's face cracked. He vanished fifty meters away in an instant, his hands gripping Tang San's shoulders with force, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at him. "Why didn't you tell me sooner! No... I'm going back to get Sui Sui right now!"
Tang San felt the trembling strength on his shoulders. Before Tang Hao could pull away, he grabbed him. "Dad, calm down. Sui Sui and I made a promise. She said to give her two days, and after she dealt with matters in the Slaughter City, she would return to the valley where Mom is to find us." Sudan Novel Network.
"Two days... then today... isn't it the second day!" Tang Hao's face changed drastically. He no longer mentioned completing the final trial. Nine conspicuous spirit rings emerged from beneath his feet. Tang San felt his vision change; he was directly seized by Tang Hao and moved in another direction at terrifying speed.
Is this the travel speed of a Titled Douluo at full power?
Being carried unceremoniously by Tang Hao, with the wind whipping past his face, almost blinding him, Tang San thought.
The father and son, or rather, Tang Hao carrying Tang San, flew non-stop through the night towards the valley. Finally, at noon on the third day, when the sun was at its highest point, they arrived.
The cold, killing aura that Tang San still couldn't restrain was particularly conspicuous in this serene and beautiful valley. Almost as soon as they arrived, the birdsong in the woods ceased, and the insect chirps disappeared, as if afraid to disturb this suddenly arrived harbinger of death.
The father and son went directly to where Ah Yin was upon arrival. Ah Yin, affected by her eldest son, felt some discomfort. Because the Blue Silver Emperor was inherently pure, Tang San was now filled with an almost tangible killing intent.
However, after Tang San explained the reason to Ah Yin, Ah Yin was first overjoyed, then shook her head with worry.
"According to what Little San said, Sui Sui should have arrived yesterday or today. But the Blue Silver Grass citizens stationed near the valley informed me that they haven't seen anyone else come by these past two days."
Tang San frowned and relayed this news to Tang Hao.
Tang Hao also knitted his brows. "How could this be? Could it be that the Slaughter City refused to let her go?"
Tang San shook his head. "It shouldn't be. Since Sui Sui said so, she must be confident of leaving the Slaughter City. Perhaps... Sui Sui only set off from the Slaughter City yesterday? She's still on her way back and needs some time."
Ah Yin and Tang Hao also felt that Tang San's reasoning made sense.
Thus, their panicked hearts calmed down considerably. They soared towards the valley entrance, constantly watching for anyone's arrival.
They waited for five days.
Tang Hao and Tang San's patience wore thinner each day. If Tang San hadn't stopped him, fearing they might miss Tang Sui if they left and she returned, Tang Hao would have already rushed back to the exit of the Slaughter City to intercept her.
Relying on Ah Yin's inherent noble and sacred aura as the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang San spent a lot of time meditating and controlling his killing intent while waiting.
On the ninth day, as the morning light began to break, Tang Hao, his eyes bloodshot, silently rose from the ground. Tang San, who had been meditating beside him, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his father, who had been sleepless for days. With a sigh, he also stood up.
"Dad, you haven't slept well for several days. Why don't you stay in the valley with Mom? I'll go to the Slaughter City again. What if I happen to meet Sui Sui on the way?"
Honestly, he couldn't wait any longer either.
Tang Hao opened his mouth, about to speak, when his vacant gaze suddenly erupted with a sharp glint. He violently turned his head towards the verdant forest, his terrifying aura exploding from him. His voice, like a sword, pierced through the void. "Who?!"
The moment Tang Hao's expression changed, Tang San's gaze also sharpened. The killing intent and bloodlust that had been barely suppressed these past few days broke through the suppression as his aura became sharp, making him appear cold and chilling once more.
However, in the next second, the terrifying auras of father and son and their fixed gazes, upon touching that petite and delicate figure, the substantial killing intent, like congealed ice and snow, froze, then, under the sunlight, shattered like collapsing sand, completely defeated and dissolving into mist.
The ethereal figure that leaped from the dark woods stood in the bright, scorching sunlight. No longer sickly pale, but with skin like jade, radiating a healthy glow. The familiar exquisite face of the young girl turned upward, revealing a bright and joyful smile.
"Dad, brother, I'm back."
