"However, you two—Dai Mubai and Yu Xiaogang—need to disguise yourselves quickly. The ten-thousand-year soul beasts might have already mobilized their forces, so we must leave here immediately!"
Tang San nodded at his father's words. Despite having complete faith in Titan's loyalty, Tang Hao, with his vast experience, wasn't willing to place all his trust in Titan. Therefore, he didn't make any guarantees.
"Understood!"
Tang San was quick to act. Disguising oneself was a piece of cake for him. As a former disciple of the Tang Sect, techniques like disguise, poisons, and hidden weapons were second nature.
In the dense forest, Tang San utilized his skills in disguise to prepare for their escape. After collecting some herbs, he started transforming the appearance of the three of them.
He crushed the herbs and used his specialized techniques. Soon, the faces of Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang, and himself underwent significant changes.
Yet, Tang San wasn't fully satisfied. He gathered more herbs, crushed them, and applied the juice to their hair.
Within moments, their hair turned a dark green, giving them a wild, grassy look.
Tang San was pleased. Not only had their faces changed, but their hair color had also altered.
With these changes, even the Soul Beasts and the Spirit Hall would struggle to recognize them!
However, Yu Xiaogang's flat top hairstyle was still quite distinctive. Once they reached a city, they could get a wig for Yu Xiaogang to complete the disguise perfectly.
With preparations complete, the four of them set off in the direction away from the forest.
Their timing was impeccable. Soon after their departure, a legion of ten-thousand-year soul beasts arrived in the forest and began a frenzied search for Tang Hao and his son.
Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts weren't certain if Tang Hao and his son were in the Soul Beast Forest, but they had to act.
Given Tang San's future actions against the Soul Beast Clan, they had to take action. Gathering soul beasts to search for Tang Hao and his son was a necessary step.
Tang San had also offended the Spirit Hall, showing that the Soul Beast Clan was pursuing Tang Hao and his son would force them to leave the forest. The plan was to use the Soul Beast Clan's numbers to clear the sparsely inhabited forests, driving Tang Hao and his son out into the human world.
This would allow the Spirit Hall to focus its efforts on the human cities, making the father and son's situation even more perilous. If the Spirit Hall could eliminate them, the Soul Beast Clan would avoid any losses.
A perfect strategy!
Tang Hao and his son were unaware of the Soul Beast Clan's plan. After Tang San's actions against the Soul Beast Emperor were revealed, Tang Hao recognized the danger of staying in the forest.
Thus, they decided to move out, heading toward the Tiandou Imperial City.
Throughout their journey, Tang Hao remained silent about Tang San's behavior during the broadcast. He trusted that Tang San, whom he held in high regard, wouldn't use his daughter for his ends—he believed the broadcast was fake.
Tang Hao also ignored Tang San's scheme involving the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. In his view, it was only natural for soul masters to hunt soul beasts.
He didn't consider that his wife, A Yin, was a soul beast. As a high-ranking sect leader, Tang Hao never regarded commoners as his kin, treating even the kind-hearted Old Jack with disdain.
Tang San was the same—self-serving and indifferent to the Soul Beast Clan.
After a month of travel, the four reached Tiandou Imperial City. Upon meeting Titan, who remained loyal, Tang Hao decided to settle with his son and companions in the Strength Clan's residence.
Given the deep enmity between the four great clans and the Haotian Sect, and despite the Mingshi Clan being monitored by the Spirit Hall, the Strength Clan was not under surveillance.
Thus, Tang Hao and his companions lived relatively peacefully.
As time passed, six months had gone by since the last broadcast. According to the previous messages, the fifteenth broadcast was about to start!
During this time, Lin Yu continued his activities in the western frontier of the Tiandou Empire, fighting against wolf bandits. He honed his skills and rid the land of threats.
Despite the passage of time, Lin Yu's cultivation remained at Level 60. Though he had obtained three Heavenly Soul Rings, he planned to wait until his body could endure a million-year soul ring before absorbing them.
With three million-year soul rings, he would gain three to four soul skills—a tantalizing prospect!
On the day the system upgrade was complete and the fifteenth broadcast was about to begin, Lin Yu stayed in a hotel room in a city, awaiting the start of the broadcast.
At ten o'clock, an invisible wave swept across the continent.
In an instant, everyone's vision went dark.
When their sight returned, they were once again immersed in the vast, starry virtual space of the broadcast.
A virtual screen appeared before everyone's eyes.
