However, although the Soul Hunt has ended, Lin Chuan has no intention of leaving.
Since we're already here, we should naturally visit the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He planted the Blue Silver Emperor there back then, and he wonders how it's grown in the past two years.
Leading the three women through the poison array set up by Dugu Bo, they once again entered the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Ye Lingling sensed the anomaly in the air, and held up the Life Spirit Begonia in both hands. The leaves of the Spirit Begonia shimmered slightly, forming a light screen around them, blocking the aura of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
Chapter 176 The Blue Silver Emperor Awakens
"Be careful. The aura emitted by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is harmful to the human body. Yanzi and Zhuqing, remember not to stray too far from Lingling. With the Life Spirit Tang there, you can be protected."
Lin Chuan walked at the front and whispered a reminder.
"Understood!" The two women nodded at the same time.
Continuing forward, the springs with their contrasting colors of ice and fire soon came into view.
"What an amazing place!" Ye Lingling couldn't help but exclaim softly.
"Of course!" Dugu Yan snorted, her expression slightly smug. "This is a treasure land that my grandfather discovered with great difficulty. Even I rarely come here. It used to be planted with a lot of plants."
However, most of the immortal herbs have already been taken by Lin Chuan, except for a few special ones.
For example... the Red Acacia Heartbreak Red!
This thing requires you to think of your beloved in your heart. Only when you are truly sincere and devoted, and sprinkle a drop of your heart's blood on the petals, can you pick it. If you are even slightly distracted, you will not gain its approval.
Lin Chuan was well aware of his own limitations; he didn't think he could meet those demanding requirements, so he didn't try and let it continue to grow in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
Anyway, this is a place that ordinary people can't get into, and they can't take it away even if they wanted to.
"Um?!"
Lin Chuan looked toward the lakeside, where the enormous Blue Silver Emperor occupied an area of tens of square meters. Each blade of grass was two feet wide, and under the sunlight, the clear golden patterns on the leaves were shimmering.
At first glance, one might mistake it for the true master of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
"He looks pretty good." Lin Chuan nodded softly.
Seemingly sensing the intrusion of outsiders, the blades of Blue Silver Emperor's grass immediately stood up in the wind.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes with amusement. "Has consciousness awakened? Truly a treasure trove suitable for plant growth. Then show yourself!"
The Blue Silver Emperor danced in the wind, drifting continuously.
Lin Chuan released his aura slightly, and a terrifying soul pressure instantly descended.
"Who are you?" A soft and melodious voice drifted from the center of the Blue Silver Emperor. Immediately afterward, the patterns on the grass blades suddenly shone with golden-blue light, condensing into a faint phantom in the air.
As the light gradually solidified, the illusory image was fully revealed to everyone.
The figure in front of me looked to be in her thirties. She wore a long blue and gold dress, and her long, azure hair was draped behind her. Her noble and elegant demeanor accentuated her otherworldly beauty.
Her deep blue eyes shimmered with a gentle, watery light, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
"You have indeed awakened!"
Looking at the phantom formed by that energy, a look of surprise flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes.
It must be said that Blue Silver Emperor is indeed very beautiful. No wonder the Tang brothers, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, both fell in love with her at the same time. There is a reason for it.
"Who are you? Where is this place?" Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin asked again, her eyes filled with wariness.
"Stop looking, Tang Hao isn't here. I transplanted you here!"
Lin Chuan knew exactly what Ah Yin was thinking, and with a light laugh, he took the initiative to bring it up.
"You know Ah Hao?"
Upon hearing the familiar name, Ah Yin was startled.
She was even more surprised that Lin Chuan knew about her relationship with Tang Hao.
"Are you from the Spirit Hall?"
“Of course not,” Lin Chuan shook his head slightly, “but Tang Hao and I are enemies. He’s dead, killed by me.”
"impossible?!"
Ah Yin gave a shout, and the Blue Silver Emperor began to sway violently.
"Ah Hao is a Title Douluo, how could he possibly die at the hands of a child your age?"
That negligible amount of soul power had no effect on Lin Chuan whatsoever; it was as if a gentle breeze had swept by.
"Yanzi, show her your Soul Bone Technique."
Without saying much, Dugu Yan's right arm suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
"This is...impossible, how could this be?!"
Ah Yin's expression changed drastically. As Tang Hao's bedmate, she was naturally very familiar with him, including his background and the fact that he possessed two inherited soul bones from the Clear Sky Sect.
Such a familiar aura, even after sleeping for decades, can still be clearly recognized.
However, it is precisely because of this that Ah Yin finds it even more difficult to accept.
"Why did you kill Ah Hao? What grudge did he hold against you that made you so vicious as to kill him?" Ah Yin looked at Lin Chuan with fierce eyes, her heart filled with hatred.
She's going completely crazy!
Having finally awakened in this blessed land, at this rate of growth, she will soon be able to cultivate back into a 100,000-year-old soul beast, at which point she will be able to reunite with her husband and children.
Who would have thought that I would receive such shocking news?
"He was the one who first had feelings for me!"
Lin Chuan sneered, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes. "I'm the same age as Tang San, and we attend a junior soul master academy. We didn't have much interaction before, and we could say we kept to ourselves. But who knew that one of our classmates was a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit who had transformed into human form and happened to be in the same dormitory as us, and Tang Hao even discovered it."
"A 100,000-year-old soft-boned rabbit?!"
The hysterical Ah Yin was startled and instantly calmed down.
Others may not know that there are two 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbits in the Star Dou Great Forest, but she knows very well that she was even friends with that big rabbit back then.
Based on this, it's clear that the other party wasn't lying.
"So what? It must be because you coveted the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit, but Ah Hao discovered and stopped you, so you harbor resentment, right?"
Ah Yin's voice was icy, and her face grew increasingly gloomy.
"Is that what you're thinking?" Lin Chuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Unfortunately, the truth is quite the opposite. Because Xiao Wu took the initiative to get close to me, it seemed to outsiders that we had a very good relationship. This led Tang Hao, who was secretly observing me, to harbor murderous intent towards me!"
Lin Chuan's smile vanished, and his words became cold.
He wasn't making baseless accusations; he had sensed Tang Hao's malice more than once, but simply chose not to take action.
Only in Ah Yin's eyes was Tang Hao a good person.
"Do you think I'd believe you?" Ah Yin remained completely unmoved.
Having once been a 100,000-year-old soul beast, she deeply abhorred those soul masters who hunted 100,000-year-old soul beasts that possessed advanced intelligence.
Tang Hao had promised that he would not hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts, nor would he hunt soul beasts indiscriminately.
Compared to a stranger, Ah Yin naturally preferred to trust Tang Hao!
"I'm just telling the truth, believe it or not," Lin Chuan shrugged nonchalantly and continued, "After that, I secretly escaped while Tang Hao was away and sent Xiao Wu back to the Star Dou Great Forest, which is how I managed to survive."
"I thought it would end there, but a few years later, when we went to the Star Dou Great Forest, we happened to run into Tang Hao, who failed to hunt Xiao Wu and was instead chased by the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. Unexpectedly, in order to get rid of the chase, he took the initiative to attack us, and that's when we started to have a grudge."
"impossible?!"
Ah Yin shook her head and said softly, "Don't try to deceive me. Ah Hao once promised me that he would not attack a 100,000-year-old soul beast!"
Lin Chuan glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.
"We escaped by sheer luck, but who knew that a few years later at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, Tang Hao would try to kill me again, but he ended up dying at my hands instead. Don't you think I shouldn't have killed him?"
Ah Yin shook her head again, "That's all just your side of the story. Ah Hao isn't that kind of person."
"In your heart, Tang Hao is certainly a good person, but is he really as you say?"
Lin Chuan sneered inwardly.
Back then, Ah Yin told Tang Hao her true identity, but Tang Hao, knowing that Ah Yin was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, didn't think of finding a place to hide her identity and let Ah Yin cultivate to maturity first. Instead, he took her around to wander around.
As a result, on the day she was pregnant and gave birth, the Spirit Hall happened to come knocking on her door, ultimately forcing Ah Yin to sacrifice herself.
There may be conspiracy theories involved, but putting yourself in their shoes, no normal person would take Ah Yin to the Spirit Hall's territory.
As for whether it was intentional or unintentional, only Tang Hao himself knows.
"Further words are useless. Since you haven't deceived me, you must want something from me to achieve some goal. But give up now. I will never agree to you killing Ah Hao. Just kill me instead!"
After leaving those words, Ah Yin slowly closed her eyes, looking as if she were about to die for Tang Hao.
"You're quite clever, but you overthink things."
Lin Chuan chuckled and shook his head slightly. "The reason I told you so much is just to fulfill your wish and avoid any confusion. As for killing you... don't even dream about it. I brought you here from afar, not just to vent my anger."
