Tang Hao: "I Will Never Abandon the Woman I Love!"

**Chapter 176: Tang Hao: "I Will Never Abandon the Woman I Love!"**

"Attention, someone is here!"

Ah Yin, who had originally been immersed in the applause of her people, suddenly changed her expression.

Under her Blue Silver Domain, with the help of the Blue Silver Grass in the forest, she was able to sense distant places within it.

So Ah Yin was the first to notice that something was wrong.

Because, in her perception, a group of strong men was approaching, heading straight toward where she and Tang Hao were.

This forest did not have soul beasts strong enough to attract so many powerful individuals here.

Unless…

As the incarnation of a soul beast, of course, she immediately considered the possibility of being exposed, which could have drawn a group of powerful men to her.

"Brother Tang Hao, someone is coming!"

However, Ah Yin did not panic. She simply turned to inform Tang Hao of the news.

These powerful men might have come for her, or they could have come to deal with her companion.

After all, Tang Hao was the strongest talent of the younger generation of the Haotian Sect. He was widely recognized as the young leader of the Haotian Sect and the only candidate for the next sect leader.

"Someone? Where?"

Tang Hao couldn't help but feel curious when he heard this. Even after her warning, he still didn't sense anything.

"They're still more than ten miles away from us, but judging by their movements, they seem to be heading in our direction!"

"Brother Tang Hao, let's leave now!"

Ah Yin quickly urged after hearing his question.

She was still worried that these people were coming for her.

If that was the case, things could become quite troublesome for her!

"More than ten miles? How is that possible?"

"Ah Yin, how do you know from such a great distance?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao was shocked by her powerful perception, but he didn't take the supposed threat seriously.

Even though he had yet to reach the level of a Title Douluo, his immense strength, combined with the Ring Explosion technique, was enough to allow him to fight against a Title Douluo-level Soul Master.

So Tang Hao wasn't too afraid.

He didn't believe there would be a Title Douluo among the ones approaching.

It wasn't so easy to run into someone of such a high level.

Moreover, he was the young master of the Haotian Sect and the future successor of the sect leader. Who would dare to touch him?

Even Bibi Dong and Douluo Ling Yuan from the Martial Soul Hall had only gravely injured him last time and did not dare to take his life.

"Brother Tang Hao, I have the Blue Silver Domain. In nature, where there is Blue Silver Grass, my perception can reach far distances!"

Seeing that Tang Hao wasn't in a hurry, Ah Yin felt a little annoyed but still explained how she could sense things from such a long distance.

"What? Ah Yin, you also have an Innate Domain?"

Tang Hao was astonished upon hearing this.

He no longer cared whether those people were really heading toward them or not. They were still far away, and there was a chance they weren't after them at all.

But he was utterly shocked to learn that Ah Yin possessed a Domain.

When did Innate Domains become so common?

His sister had one, Gu Ziyi had one. He himself had only obtained one after finally passing the trials in the Slaughter City.

Then there was also Bibi Dong.

And now, the woman he loved had one too.

Moreover, she had already possessed a Domain at the Soul Ancestor level. She was just as abnormal as that guy, Gu Ziyi.

"Alright, Brother Tang Hao, let's go!"

She nodded in acknowledgment and once again urged him to move.

"Okay, I will listen to you, Ah Yin!"

Seeing Ah Yin insist once again, Tang Hao didn't dare to ignore her any longer and nodded in response.

Then, the two quickly set off in the opposite direction of the approaching group.

…

Whoosh~

Bang——

Outside the forest, Gu Ziyi, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Poison Douluo were heading toward Tang Hao when suddenly a signal came from ahead.

"That's the signal sent by Old Ghost. I think he's been discovered!"

Seeing this, Yue Guan spoke hurriedly.

"Well, we just need to hurry up!"

"Ghost Douluo should move in and intercept them—they won't be able to escape!"

Gu Ziyi said calmly.

Even though the pair had detected their group in advance, Gu Ziyi wasn't in a hurry.

With Tang Hao and Ah Yin's speed, how fast could they really be?

Perhaps if there weren't a Titled Douluo pursuing them, they could rely on Ah Yin's powerful perception to hide from place to place.

But if a Titled Douluo catches up, escaping won't be so easy.

Especially since the one chasing them was Ghost Douluo, a Speed-type attacker. His speed was relatively fast among Titled Douluos, second only to Bai He.

This time, Gu Ziyi brought Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Poison Douluo with him.

To deal with Tang Hao and Ah Yin, there was no need to mobilize too many people in this pursuit.

Bringing three Titled Douluos felt a bit excessive to him.

If it weren't for precautionary measures, he wouldn't have dared to come here alone.

Ah Yin still needed ten years to reach the mature stage of Level 60. At the moment, she was just a Soul Master and posed no threat to him.

Unless she sacrificed herself, which would further strengthen Tang Hao.

Gu Ziyi was also wary of that possibility, which is why he brought three Titled Douluos with him.

Li Chanfei had been following Bibi Dong. Ju Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo were all people he could command at will.

It would still take some time before Yu Long advanced to the level of a Titled Douluo. Now that he had become the interim Pope, he no longer needed Yu Long's protection.

He had assigned him elsewhere!

It was quite troublesome for him to issue commands to the other elders in the Elder Hall.

In his opinion, there was no need to mobilize them. Calling Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others was enough.

Swish~

Swish~

Swish~

The trio swiftly pursued the fleeing pair.

Soon, Gu Ziyi spotted Ghost Douluo making his move in the distance.

"Ghost Douluo, it's you people from the Martial Soul Hall again!"

"What do you people from the Martial Soul Hall want here?"

At the same time, Tang Hao's furious roar echoed.

"If you have any doubts, why don't you ask the woman beside you? If not, you can wait for our interim Pope to arrive."

Gui Mei was merely trying to prevent the pair from escaping, so he didn't rush to attack. He glanced at Ah Yin, who stood beside Tang Hao, and spoke slowly.

"Gu Ziyi?"

"That bastard is here too?"

Upon hearing Gui Mei's words, his expression darkened even further.

"Cursing our Martial Soul Hall Pope—do you want to die?"

Hearing Tang Hao's rude words, the eyes of the Titled Douluo suddenly turned cold.

"Gu Ziyi is here too?"

Ah Yin was also shocked when she heard this. She hadn't expected him to be among the group pursuing them.

Combining this with Ghost Douluo's earlier words, she finally understood that the Martial Soul Hall was after her.

She didn't know when she had been exposed.

Otherwise, the Martial Soul Hall wouldn't have suddenly sent a Titled Douluo like Ghost Douluo after her. And with Gu Ziyi leading the chase, the two accompanying him were probably not much weaker either.

"Brother Tang Hao, you go first—they're here for me!"

"I don't want to drag you into my affairs!"

Realizing that the enemy had come for her, Ah Yin didn't want to involve Tang Hao. She turned to him and spoke firmly.

"Ah Yin, what are you saying?"

"They're here for you?"

"Why?"

Hearing her words, he realized that the Martial Soul Hall's target was Ah Yin, and he questioned her in shock, just as Gui Mei had implied earlier.

"Brother Tang Hao, please leave!"

She shook her head and didn't reveal her identity. She only insisted in a firm tone that he leave quickly.

Now that she knew she was the target, Ah Yin understood that escaping was impossible—but she wasn't too worried.

After reaching 100,000 years of cultivation, her Blue Silver Domain had awakened the secret of [Wildfire cannot burn everything, and the spring breeze can bring it back to life]. Even if she were killed, she could resurrect herself after a certain period.

So she wasn't concerned about her own danger.

However, she didn't want to drag Tang Hao into this, so she urged him to leave quickly.

Even though she didn't like him that much, she knew he truly cared for her, and she couldn't bear to involve him in her troubles.

"Impossible! How could I, as a man, abandon the woman I love and run away?"

Upon hearing Ah Yin's words, he firmly refused.

"Martial Soul Hall, why do you want to capture Ah Yin?"

Tang Hao then looked up and questioned Gui Mei.

"Do you not understand human speech?"

Ghost Douluo looked at Tang Hao as if he were an idiot and spoke coldly again:

"It seems you really don't know her true identity! You should ask the woman beside you."

"You...!"

Seeing the look of disdain, as if he were a fool, Tang Hao was instantly furious.

The only reason he hadn't attacked yet was because he was wary of the opponent's strength.

If an ordinary person had dared to mock him like this, he would have already smashed them with his hammer.

Suppressing the frustration in his heart, he turned to Ah Yin and asked again,

"Ah Yin, do you have another identity?"

"Ah Yin, don't be afraid. No matter who you are, since I love you, I will definitely protect you!"

Without waiting for her response, he declared his stance.

"..."

Hearing Tang Hao's words, she couldn't help but feel touched.

Even so, at the same time, she felt he was so foolish.

Faced with someone as powerful as a Martial Soul Hall Titled Douluo, how could he, a mere Soul Saint, possibly protect her?

"Brother Tang Hao, I will be fine. I have my own way out. Please leave now!"

Ah Yin shook her head and did not reveal her identity as a Soul Beast, but she continued to persuade him to leave.

However, she also hinted that she had a way to escape so that Tang Hao wouldn't worry about her.

"No, I will not abandon the woman I love!"

However, he was extremely determined.

He did not believe for a second that Ah Yin had any way to escape. He simply thought she was thinking of him, which deeply moved him.

It turns out that only in times of danger can one truly see a person's heart.

He was not wrong about this woman.

"..."

"Brother Tang Hao, I am very grateful for your love, but I am truly not worthy of it!"

"I didn't have the courage to reject you before, but now I am not afraid to tell you the truth!"

"I do not love you. It's better if you leave now!"

Faced with his firm attitude, Ah Yin felt even more touched but still chose to speak calmly with Tang Hao.

She had not dared to tell him the truth before because she intended to keep using him.

But now it seemed impossible. After faking her death, she would have to wait a while before she could be resurrected. By then, Tang Hao would likely be gone and no longer useful. So she had to make things clear and not let him get involved.

"Ah Yin, I know you're worried about causing me trouble!"

"But you underestimate me. I told you, I will never abandon the woman I love!"

Tang Hao, overcome with emotion, trembled slightly upon hearing her words, but he quickly realized that she was still concerned about him!

"..."

Ah Yin was speechless. It seemed there was no way to persuade this man to leave.

"..."

Not only her, but even Ghost Douluo standing nearby was at a loss for words.

Hearing Tang Hao's nauseating words, he felt disgusted.

His only task was to prevent Ah Yin from escaping, so he didn't care about what the two of them were discussing.

His mission was to detain Ah Yin and make sure she did not flee.

So Gui Mei simply stood there, calmly watching them argue.

"Brother Tang Hao, do you know my true identity?"

After being left speechless, Ah Yin no longer wanted to hide the truth from him.

Since Tang Hao refused to leave, he would inevitably find out her identity soon.

So it was better to tell him directly—maybe that would make him leave and keep him from getting involved.

She knew that the Martial Soul Hall would not dare take action against Tang Hao, but if he was determined to stop them from taking her, then things could become unpredictable.

"Ah Yin, what is your identity?"

Tang Hao asked urgently.

He did not believe anything could change his feelings for her.

"Brother Tang Hao, have you ever seen a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with full innate soul power?"

"No, that kind of thing does not exist."

"That's because I am a Soul Beast—a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor who has taken human form!"

Ah Yin sighed and finally revealed her identity.

"W-What… What…?"

"Ah Yin, what did you just say?"

Upon hearing her words, Tang Hao took several steps back, looking at Ah Yin in disbelief.

He truly never expected that the woman he loved was actually a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast.

For a moment, he simply couldn't accept it.

The Haotian Sect, the number one sect in the world, had always taken the protection of the continent as its mission.

Any 100,000-year-old Soul Beast that transformed into a human and entered the human world was to be expelled and hunted by the Haotian Sect as soon as they were discovered.

"I am a human transformed from a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. In essence, I am still a Soul Beast!"

"So it's impossible for us to be together. Brother Tang Hao, now that you know the truth, leave!"

Seeing his look of disbelief, Ah Yin could understand it in her heart, so she didn't feel bad and simply continued speaking.

However, her tone became much more indifferent.

Tang Hao, still in shock, suddenly panicked when he heard Ah Yin's tone become distant.

Compared to the philosophy of his sect, he realized he was more unwilling to lose her.

So he quickly followed his heart's choice, lifted his head again, and sincerely said to her, "Ah Yin, I don't care if you are a Soul Beast or anything else, I only know that you are the woman I, Tang Hao, love! As long as I am here, I will not let anyone touch you!"

"..."

Her expression changed slightly. She hadn't expected Tang Hao to still make such a choice after learning her identity.

However, she immediately recalled his previous ambitions.

The other party had said that his eighth and ninth Soul Rings should be attached with a 100,000-year Soul Ring.

So Ah Yin was only slightly moved and then quickly calmed down.

She no longer cared whether Tang Hao was sincere or not.

Since the other party refused to leave, there was nothing she could do.

Either way, she would not sacrifice herself to save him.
