Chapter 258: Mother, You Don't Understand Master's Purity and Farsightedness
The sudden passing of Xue Ye inevitably caused a violent upheaval among the upper echelons of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Prince Xue Xing was no pushover; he had always suspected that the bizarre deaths of the previous princes were inextricably linked to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
Now that the old Emperor was dead, he knew that he was destined to be a good-for-nothing in the way of Soul Masters and had no chance at the supreme throne. However, if he could use this opportunity to eliminate Xue Qinghe and settle for being a Regent with power over the court, it would be an equally magnificent outcome.
However, Prince Xue Xing's so-called "rebellion to purge the court" met with total destruction just as its first faint sparks appeared.
Following his Master's decree, Tang San showed no mercy, leading the top experts of the Tang Sect to crush this coup in its cradle with thunderous momentum.
As for Prince Xue Xing, the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, and their loyalists, their only fate was to join the ancestors of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family in the afterlife.
...
Inside the Tang Sect's Council Hall.
After handing over the actual control of the Empire to Qian Renxue at the palace, Jiang Li returned to the base and immediately told Tang San everything about the major plan she had previously discussed with Xiao Wu.
Tang San didn't have the slightest hesitation or psychological burden regarding this; instead, he felt his Master's arrangement was incredibly farsighted.
In his view, with the current situation on the continent being so turbulent and Spirit Hall watching like a tiger stalking its prey, he indeed urgently needed even greater power to protect everything he cherished.
Since Da Ming and Er Ming, as Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, would eventually face either destruction by the Lightning Tribulation or the clutches of Spirit Hall, it would be better for them to become the foundation on his path to godhood ahead of time.
"Xiao Wu, don't worry!" Tang San said with an air of righteousness, taking Xiao Wu's soft hand and swearing solemnly, "I, Tang San, swear to the heavens that once I successfully inherit the position of the Sea God, I will definitely use the supreme power of a Divinity to resurrect Da Ming and Er Ming, making them true Divine Beasts that transcend heaven and earth!"
"Mm! Third Brother, of course I believe you." Xiao Wu's eyes reddened with emotion as she nodded firmly. "After we visit Aunt Ah Yin and go to the Star Dou Great Forest, I will definitely talk to Da Ming and Er Ming and make them understand the well-intentioned efforts of Teacher Jiang and you."
Watching this touching and harmonious scene, Jiang Li sat in the main seat, her lips curling up almost imperceptibly.
Now that the purging of the rebels in the capital had concluded, Tang San could no longer suppress the intense longing for his mother. He turned to look at Jiang Li respectfully: "Master, now that things here are settled, shall we head to the Sunset Forest first?"
"Alright."
...
Setting out once again on the journey to the Sunset Forest to visit his mother, Tang San's heart was filled with indescribable excitement.
In his view, as long as he could make his mother see Tang Hao's true colors and accept his glorious and magnificent Master, his ultimate dream of becoming Master's Son would be one step closer!
The three Master and disciples traveled at full speed, taking only half a day to successfully reach the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
With the contributions of countless Blue Silver Kings and the mystical nourishment of this Treasure Basin, Ah Yin had grown significantly compared to their last visit.
Based on the accumulation of years alone, she was even infinitely approaching the thirty-thousand-year mark.
"Little San, how do you have time to come see Mother?"
Sensing the familiar auras of the three, Ah Yin's ethereal and gentle, beautiful figure condensed from within the Blue Silver Grass.
Looking at her Son, who had grown increasingly tall and upright, her eyes were filled with motherly love and gratification.
"Mother!"
Seeing his mother again after a long time, Tang San's tears instantly flowed like a fountain. With a thud, he knelt heavily beside the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, his face full of filial devotion.
Seeing this touching scene, Jiang Li grabbed the curious Xiao Wu, who was still peeking around, and stepped aside, leaving the space to the mother and son.
"Teacher Jiang Li, aren't you curious about what secrets Third Brother will tell Aunt Yin?" Xiao Wu asked in a low voice.
"What's there to be curious about."
Jiang Li rolled her eyes at the foolish rabbit.
On the other side, Tang San tearfully recounted how they, under Jiang Li's leadership, had developed the Tang Sect from a tiny fledgling Sect to its current status of rivaling the Upper Three Sects. He also shared how they had overcome all obstacles to ultimately win the championship of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, holding nothing back from Ah Yin.
Every word he spoke was filled with frantic praise for Jiang Li's farsightedness and purity.
As a fellow Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin was, at her core, a simple and kind grass.
Hearing her son praise and revere Jiang Li so wholeheartedly, she couldn't help but feel a deep curiosity toward this mysterious Silver Emperor Douluo in her gentle gaze.
Tang San keenly captured the change in his mother's expression. Thinking to himself that it was working, he immediately changed the subject and complained with a mix of grief and indignation:
"Mother! To be honest, this time... that naturally evil Tang Hao actually tried to murder Xiao Wu in secret twice, and even attempted to seize the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone you left for me!"
"Not only that, when we were in Spirit City, he shamelessly colluded with that evil Pope Bibi Dong to put Xiao Wu to death! If Master hadn't risked backlash to use some forbidden trump card power, Xiao Wu would probably have been forced to sacrifice herself and perish by now!"
Upon hearing this, Ah Yin's beautiful brows instantly furrowed tightly.
Ever since Jiang Li had told her about the many suspicious points behind the original sacrifice before leaving last time, combined with the Blue Silver Kings constantly whispering in her ear over the years to denounce the selfishness and evil of the Tang Family members...
No matter how simple Ah Yin was, after years of using her own world-shaking wisdom to slowly unravel the truth, she had finally begun to realize what was going on.
"He... how could he do this?!"
Ah Yin's voice trembled with a hint of anger. "Regarding what happened back then, for your sake, Little San, I didn't blame him even though I suffered immense schemes and grievances. But... but as an elder, why would he use the same despicable methods to scheme against the innocent Xiao Wu?!"
Seeing his mother angered once again because of that calamity, a sharp glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.
"Mother, rest assured, I, Tang San, will not let a single person who has harmed you or Xiao Wu go!"
"That bottomless calamity Tang Hao, in order to save his own miserable life, used his status as my biological father in front of the world's heroes to forcibly morally blackmail me into sparing him. But from now on, all ties between us are severed!"
"The next time we meet, I, Tang San, will surely take his life personally!"
