"This is Hao Tian Douluo's storage soul tool, and it is also the token of authority for the four great clans. How could you possibly possess such a thing?" Titan looked at Xu Ran as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes nearly bulging out.
The token of Hao Tian Douluo in Xu Ran's hand, what does this mean?
Could it be that Hao Tian Douluo has met with disaster?
Titan and Bai He both stared deeply at Xu Ran, their eyes filled with wariness, and even more so with intense fear. If even Hao Tian Douluo had fallen at Xu Ran's hands, they should forget about contending with him.
Especially Bai He, who now regretted his actions. Although he was related to Tang San, Xu Ran's talent was obviously much stronger than Tang San's, and now that Hao Tian Douluo had met with an accident, perhaps he was already dead. If Hao Tian Douluo was indeed dead, surrendering to Tang San would be meaningless.
A good bird chooses the tree it perches on, and a wise minister chooses the monarch he serves.
His Min Clan didn't only have the option of choosing Tang San.
As for Titan, upon seeing the ring, in addition to shock and fear, there was also intense anger.
"How could the master's item be in your possession, what have you done to the master? Given the relationship between you and the Young Master, the master would never pass such an important token to an outsider," Titan said with a mixture of surprise and doubt. He dared not think too much about it, as Hao Tian Douluo was an unparalleled being, who once withstood the siege of many Titled Douluos sent by Spirit Hall without succumbing, how could he possibly have met with an accident?
This is the supreme powerhouse who once repelled two Titled Douluos with a single hammer strike and killed the previous Spirit Hall Pope!
"Xu Ran, how could my father's belongings appear in your possession?" Tang San also asked. With father and son sharing a heart, as Xu Ran took out the ring, Tang San's heart throbbed with pain, making him even more afraid.
Could it be that his father had really met with an accident?
"Xu Ran, tell me quickly."
"Where is my father?"
Tang San rushed to Xu Ran, grabbing his collar, his eyes turning blood-red, and his sturdy body shaking continuously.
Although Tang Hao wasn't very good to him, and couldn't even be called a qualified father, he was, after all, his father in this world, and his broad chest had given him a father's love.
In his previous life, he was an orphan, without a father or mother. Now, having finally gained a father, no matter how poorly his father treated him, he was the closest person to him in this world. Moreover, there was a reason for his father's alcoholism since his childhood.
"Father? Oh, your father is Hao Tian Douluo."
"Tsk tsk, the offspring of a strong person."
Xu Ran looked at Tang San with a mocking smirk, his expression one of sarcasm: "Guess what's become of your father now?"
"Xu Ran, you... you..." Tang San raised his fist, paused in the air, then let it go. His father Hao Tian Douluo's important token, the storage ring, had ended up in Xu Ran's hands, what about his safety... It seemed to be a very obvious situation.
"Actually, you already know the outcome, you just don't dare to believe it. Your father is dead, though not directly by my hand, but nonetheless, it's more or less the same."
"You, what?"
```
Xu Ran's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone present pale, including Bai Chenxiang. The name Hao Tian Douluo carried great prestige across the Continent, and not long ago, Hao Tian Douluo had been the leader of the Min Clan.
But could such a powerful figure really have died at Xu Ran's hands?
This made her momentarily unable to see through Xu Ran. Even the many strong fighters from the Martial Soul Hall weren't a match for Hao Tian Douluo, yet Xu Ran managed to erase Tang Hao.
"Brother Xu Ran, just who are you?" Bai Chenxiang stood far away, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xu Ran, her heart a tumult of complexity and conflict. But regardless of who Xu Ran was, he must be a good person, and certainly the most important person to her. She trusted Xu Ran; he must have had his reasons for taking action against Hao Tian Douluo. Xu Ran wasn't the kind to kill indiscriminately.
Perhaps Hao Tian Douluo was a beast in human's clothing. Even Tang San could be such a person, so it wasn't impossible that Tang Hao could be one as well.
At this moment, Tang San had fallen into despair. If he knew what Bai Chenxiang was thinking, he would probably feel even more hopeless. His father was gone, and to top it off, Bai Chenxiang still thought so ill of him. Could there be any way out for him now?
"Xu Ran, you're lying to me, aren't you? You must be lying!" At this moment, Tang San's voice was heavy with despair and hatred. He couldn't believe that his father, the figure he respected immensely, could have died by Xu Ran's hand.
There was no way Xu Ran could be that strong; his father was the youngest Titled Douluo in history. How could he be so fragile?
Tang San's voice trembled, carrying a faint sobbing tone, fear, anger, and a deep, piercing sound.
"Ahh, Xu Ran, I'm going to fight you! Tell me my master's news right now!" Titan's mentality had also exploded. He roared furiously, charging towards Xu Ran at high speed, his qi and spirit fully ignited to the utmost. Yet even so, he was easily kicked away by a single foot from Xu Ran.
"Tang Hao's head is in my hands, here, take it." Xu Ran said with a smile, pulling Tang Hao's head out of the storage soul tool and kicked it toward Tang San and Titan, like kicking a ball.
Tang Hao's head rolled on the ground, leaving a trail of blood. Even though he had been dead for quite some time and the bloodstains were not yet dry, his eyes were still wide open with fury and despair, as if he had seen something that had filled him with indignant despair, refusing to close in death.
"Father!"
"Master!"
Two wretched screams rang out at the same time. Despite the dust that clung to Tang Hao's head as it rolled across the ground, they recognized Tang Hao the moment they saw the familiar silhouette and face.
Tang Hao was dead, not only that, he was dismembered, and even his last remaining head was casually kicked away by Xu Ran.
"Ahhh!"
"Father, weren't you Hao Tian Douluo? How could you become like this?"
"I used to think you deliberately didn't come to help me, wanting to see me bullied by others. At that time I even resented you. But why have you ended up like this?"
"Father, I'm sorry. I wasn't a good son. I didn't even know you had met with disaster, that you had been dismembered by others. But rest assured, I will avenge you. A feud as deep as a murdered father is not to be shared under heaven. I will personally take the head of the culprit to mourn you."
Seeing Tang Hao's head, Tang San crazily hugged it to his chest, wiping the dust-covered face of Tang Hao. He knocked his head on the ground forcefully, his forehead hitting the earth, with blood flowing freely, but even so, he didn't stop.
His voice was filled with intense regret and despair.
Looking back, the days in Saint Soul Village were the happiest and most carefree of his life. Although he had to cook and sometimes remained hungry, the sense of freedom and the feeling of his father's protection brought him a sense of satisfaction and happiness.
