Behind him, there were waiters carrying all kinds of food. Han Li then noticed that it was already noon.

Things here were resolved so smoothly that he hardly noticed the passage of time.

After lunch, Zhu Zhuqing entered a state of cultivation, while Han Li went to find the head of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the follow-up matters. He was busy until the evening.

Zhu Zhuqing keeps her promise.

At night, Han Li saw the close-fitting white soft armor as he wished, which looked to have very good defensive power.

After all, there has been a saying since ancient times that the less you wear, the higher your defense.

After staying in Gengxin City for one night, the two set off again the next morning and headed straight for Xingluo City.

As they got closer to Xingluo City, Zhu Zhuqing became more and more silent.

Han Li had no good solution to this problem. He could not empathize with her. As for how to choose, it all depended on her personal thoughts.

In the end, after resisting Xingluo City, Zhu Zhuqing just secretly observed her mother's condition, quietly left a letter and a piece of dragon grass leaf that Han Li had given her before, and returned to the hotel.

Han Li watched the whole process and didn't say anything. Her mother was in good health and no one paid attention to her, so it was good this way.

After staying for another day, the two set out on their return journey.

Compared to the calmness on their side, Tang Hao's side had a completely different scene.

He tried his best to suppress his injuries and returned to the Holy Soul Village as quickly as possible. He didn't even go back home, but went straight to where Ah Yin was.

When he rushed over the waterfall and entered the cave, he felt as if he was nailed to the spot and could no longer take a step.

In front of his eyes, the originally tidy cave was now covered with dust.

The pile of earth used to plant Ah Yin was gone, and lying on the ground was only the corpse of a soul beast, of which only bones were left. The secret place where he originally used to hide the soul bones was now full of spider webs, with small insects struggling on them, but they had not lost their breath of life.

All this proves one thing.

His lover is gone.

"puff"

A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of Tang Hao's mouth, and his body staggered forward.

The string in his heart, which had been tense all the time, broke!

There was a heavy sound of someone falling to the ground, and the cave fell into silence again.

Only the sound of the waterfall outside was still playing, and the water vapor seemed to be heavier.

It was unknown how long it took before Tang Hao regained consciousness.

However, he did not open his eyes. He was afraid that if he opened his eyes, he would see the same scene as before, which he would not be able to accept.

Listening to the sound of water hitting the rocks below, Tang Hao's mind kept flashing through all the scenes of him and Ah Yin meeting, knowing each other, and falling in love.

It was not until the moonlight shone through the hole above and fell on him that Tang Hao struggled to get up.

There was no need to check again. Although he had kept his eyes closed, he had already used his mental power to explore every corner of the cave, and there was no trace of human beings at all.

All the traces in the cave came from the same soul beast - the wind baboon, and the soul beast bones left on the ground also belonged to it.

The scene at that time had automatically been restored in his mind. Wind baboons fell from the cave above, more than one.

Then they found Yin on the mound of earth, and found the soul bone while playing around.

Wind baboons are a type of soul beast that is extremely good at imitating humans. Although they do not use soul bones, they do not eat grass.

However, they still had a dispute and started a fight in the cave, and eventually, a corpse was left here.

And Ah Yin and the soul bone will naturally be taken away by the winner.

Perhaps, Ayin was rudely pulled up by the root, held in its mouth, and finally swallowed, or thrown away somewhere.

The fate of soul bones should be the same.

"ah……"

In an instant, Tang Hao's eyes turned red and his breathing became as heavy as a cow's.

He couldn't accept this result.

A Clear Sky Hammer flashing with black light appeared in his hand, and he smashed it hard at the corpse of the Wind Baboon beside him.

After a loud bang, there were no bones left at the spot, only a deep pit remained.

However, Tang Hao did not stop, and continued to swing the hammer in his hand like a madman, with the speed getting faster and faster, and each hammer was heavier than the last.

Finally, after his last hammer fell, the entire cave, along with the hill and the river water above, collapsed after a moment of stagnation, shocking all the creatures around it and causing them to flee in all directions.

"Ah Yin, I swear, I will kill all the wind baboons and bury them with you."

In mid-air, Tang Hao howled towards the sky, his voice filled with endless sadness and resentment.

In the Holy Soul Village which is not far from here.

Lights began to light up in the dilapidated house, and they were awakened from their sleep when the mountain collapsed.

When Tang Hao's roar was heard, all the villagers had already run towards Old Jack's house at the entrance of the village in panic, holding shoulder poles, hoes, sickles, and everything else in their hands.

"It may be that there are soul beasts migrating in the nearby mountains and forests. They are still very far away from us. Don't panic yet."

Although Old Jack was also very panicked, as the village chief, he still stood up and calmed the crowd.

"Hold the children and help the old man. Ergou, go and distribute torches to the young people. We will rush to Nottingham overnight. Hurry!"

Soon, all the people in the Holy Soul Village, under the command of Old Jack, headed towards the direction of Notting City.

In the light of the fire, Old Jack looked at the village behind him in a daze.

Now, he can only hope that the soul masters of the Spirit Hall can easily resolve this matter.

Otherwise, the Holy Soul Village where his ancestors have lived for generations would probably disappear completely.

When Tang Hao returned to the Holy Spirit Village in a daze, he found that the village was empty, but it could be seen that the people had just left.

He glanced at the faint firelight, but had no intention of going forward to remind them.

Ah Yin is missing, so their actions can be considered as a funeral for Ah Yin.

He grabbed two cold steamed buns, stuffed them into his mouth with force, and swallowed them mechanically. He still had to avenge Ah Yin, so he couldn't fall down now.

He returned home and saw that it was relatively clean, with only a layer of dust.

Haha, it must be that guy old Jack who did it. He always likes to do these insignificant things.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

However, Xiao San is an eagle destined to soar in the sky, so how could she possibly come back here?

Tang Hao slapped himself hard, then laughed sarcastically, not knowing whether he was laughing at Old Jack or at himself.

Then he fell straight onto the bed. He was so tired.

Tang Hao slept until the next morning when he was awakened by the noise outside. Faintly, he heard the voice of Old Jack.

Frowning in displeasure, Tang Hao got up and walked towards the door, where he saw Old Jack leading a team of deacons dressed in Spirit Hall uniforms and personnel dressed in City Lord's Mansion uniforms, checking room by room.

Seeing the door opened, Old Jack was stunned at first, then looked at Tang Hao with surprise.

"Tang Hao? When did you come back?"

Without waiting for Tang Hao to answer, Old Jack turned around and looked at the Spirit Hall and City Lord's Mansion personnel who were in a vigilant posture: "My lords, this is the blacksmith of our village. He has lived here for many years. He has gone out to work in recent years. He is not a spirit master."

After hearing what Old Jack said, the people who came to investigate still had no intention of letting down their guard. There was still dried blood on Tang Hao's body, so they had to be on guard.

"Tang Hao, please speak up. What's going on with you?"

Old Jack seemed even more anxious than Tang Hao. He rushed to him in a few steps and was about to grab his arm.

"Don't touch me. I came back too late. I fell on the way and hit my mouth."

Tang Hao swung his left arm and threw Old Jack aside.

As he spoke, his lower lip and bloody gums that he had bitten last night were exposed.

Although he really wanted to kill those people from the Spirit Hall, if it weren't for them, Ah Yin would not have sacrificed herself, and he would not have lost Ah Yin.

But considering that Tang San is still in the Tiandou Royal Academy and the Soul Master Competition is approaching, he still endured it.

His wife is gone, and he can’t cause any more trouble for his son.

After he finished speaking, a man with a dog-type martial spirit in the investigation team nodded, indicating that the blood on his body was indeed his own, and the whole team relaxed.

"When did you return to the village last night? Did you hear any strange noises?"

The leading deacon looked at Tang Hao and asked very seriously.

"I didn't know the time. When I came back, the lights were still on. I was so tired that I just went to sleep and didn't hear anything."

Tang Hao suppressed his impatience and answered casually.

He also wanted to go out and look for A Yin's soul bone to see if he could find it. He actually ignored this point in his anger yesterday.

Hearing this, the deacon nodded, but did not order anyone to continue the search.

Tang Hao's family is the last one in the village. If there really is a soul beast hiding, in his subconscious, Tang Hao would not have survived until now.

The deacon looked in the direction of Old Jack and said, "Old village chief, it should be safe now. The villagers can come back now. The noise last night was probably caused by the collapse of the mountain due to the water flow, which alarmed the wild animals in the forest. There are no soul beasts nearby."

After saying that, he glanced at Old Jack, who was still a little worried, thought for a moment and added, "However, I will still lead people to patrol around the village for three days, so you can rest assured."

"Thank you, thank you sir."

Old Jack was about to kneel down, but was held back by the deacon beside him.

"No need for that, we are going on patrol. By the way, you don't have to run anymore, we will send someone back to get the villagers back, let's clean up the village first."

After saying that, the leading deacon waved his hand and led the team out of the village.

"Thank you to all the masters of the Spirit Hall."

Old Jack bowed again towards their backs and shouted loudly.

"Thanks to the masters of the Spirit Hall, isn't that right, Tang Hao?"

Old Jack sighed and looked at Tang Hao beside him.

"Oh, you are just a hypocrite, you can only fool an ignorant fool like you."

Tang Hao, the instigator, smiled coldly, turned around and prepared to leave.

"You...you...don't forget that Xiao San's spirit was awakened with the help of the Spirit Hall."

Old Jack was so angry that he was shaking. His outstretched fingers were trembling. He wanted to curse something, but he couldn't say it.

He stamped his feet and chased after him. He still wanted to ask about Tang San's situation.
