Chapter 198 Kong Xuan: Your mother is in Tang San's hands.
"That's right, it's the Sea God Tang San!"
Kong Xuan revealed the identity of the culprit.
Tang San ascended to the throne of God King with the position of the God of Asura, but despite considering himself God King, he always referred to himself as the God of the Sea.
This is clearly because they dislike the reputation of the Asura God. After all, the name sounds fierce and gives people the feeling that he is not a "good god," far less "kind and approachable" than the Sea God.
Such hypocritical behavior is indeed very much in line with the "pure and innocent" character of Tang San Shao.
"How is this possible?!"
Huo Yuhao stared in disbelief. In the history he had studied, the Sea God Tang San had always been a positive figure, a hero who saved the continent.
Now Kong Xuan tells him that this "evil god" who secretly manipulates him and even uses his own daughter as bait is actually the sea god that everyone praises.
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a sense of disconnect in his understanding.
"Why can't it be impossible?"
"Some wicked people believe they are not wrong until they die, and so do some gods."
"He was so engrossed in his own understanding and plans that he was completely unaware of his own mistakes, instead labeling all his opponents as evil."
Hearing Kong Xuan's disdainful tone, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down.
Compared to the historical image of the sea god, he ultimately chose to believe Kong Xuan.
"Brother Xuan, I've been targeted by a God-King, is there any way I can escape?"
Huo Yuhao's face fell. The thought that a God King in the God Realm was always thinking about him made him feel as if a sharp sword was hanging over his head that could fall at any moment!
Compared to Huo Yuhao's panic, Kong Xuan was much calmer and said with a smile, "Actually, there's no need to worry so much. Even the God King in the God Realm can't cover up everything with one hand."
"Gods cannot interfere in the affairs of the mortal realm at will; this is a rule of the divine realm."
"Your fate has changed now, and Tang San can't keep an eye on you all the time. His influence on the lower realm is also limited."
Hearing Kong Xuan say this and seeing his relaxed expression, Huo Yuhao felt a little relieved.
However, he then noticed that Kong Xuan's expression suddenly became much more serious, as if what he was about to say was not simple.
"Yuhao, there's something else I need to tell you."
Kong Xuan brought Huo Yuhao to the Sun and Moon Kingdom, changing his original predetermined fate, so naturally he wouldn't abandon him.
Taking advantage of Tang San's intervention, Kong Xuan decided to completely bind Huo Yuhao to his "war chariot".
"Your mother, Huo Yun'er, is not dead."
Kong Xuan's calm words were like a bombshell dropped into Huo Yuhao's heart.
Those few words froze all the expressions on Huo Yuhao's face instantly!
He was struck as if by an invisible bolt of lightning, and froze on the spot.
My mind went blank; it was as if all my thoughts had stopped working at that moment.
His mother...wasn't dead?
His mother, whom he remembered as gentle but who died from exhaustion and humiliation at the Duke's mansion, was still alive?
If anyone else had said those words, Huo Yuhao would not have believed them at all, and might even have attacked them for using his mother as a pretext.
But these words are coming from Kong Xuan's mouth now; he is the person he trusts most in the world besides his mother.
After a brief moment of shock came an outpouring of excitement and ecstasy, like a volcanic eruption.
It was a tremendous emotional shock of losing something and then getting it back, almost overwhelming him!
"Really...really? Xuan-ge!"
"Are you... are you telling the truth?"
"Is my mother really still alive?"
Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly rose, trembling uncontrollably and clearly choked with sobs.
He took a sudden step forward, gripping Kong Xuan's arm tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if he had grasped the last straw in his life.
His eyes instantly turned red, and tears uncontrollably filled his eyes, sliding down his cheeks without him even noticing.
"I have no reason to lie to you!" Kong Xuan's voice remained steady, carrying a convincing power: "She is indeed still alive."
Having received Kong Xuan's affirmative reply, Huo Yuhao felt as if all his strength had been drained, yet also as if he had been struck by immense happiness.
He bit his lip hard, trying not to cry out.
Completely immersed in happiness and excitement, Huo Yuhao did not notice that Kong Xuan's expression remained serious, as if he did not understand Huo Yuhao's joy.
Looking at him now, Kong Xuan couldn't bear to shatter his happy fantasy, but there were still some things she had to say.
"Yuhao, don't be too happy yet."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to Kong Xuan again, his bloodshot eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
Adhering to the idea that "you're going to die sooner or later anyway," Kong Xuan stopped wasting words and said directly, "Tang San has been eyeing you for a long time and has made many arrangements in order to 'get you,' one of which is your mother."
Kong Xuan's words extinguished the flames of passion that had just risen in Huo Yuhao's heart like a bucket of ice water.
The confusion in his eyes instantly turned into icy coldness, and Huo Yuhao said in a chilling voice, "My mother's death... was also Tang San's doing?"
Kong Xuan shook his head: "No, but after your mother died, he took her soul."
"With the God-King's power, resurrecting your mother would be no problem, but his purpose is to control you."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's increasingly grim expression, Kong Xuan continued, "Now that the matter has come to Tang San, I think you should know about it too."
Huo Yuhao tried his best to calm himself down, but how could he, as a son, remain calm in the face of this news?
"Sea God... Tang San!"
"I truly know you now!"
You really went to great lengths for me!
"But the more you act this way, the less I will let you have your way!"
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and said these words. Even though the other party was a God-King, at this moment he had already listed him as an unforgivable enemy.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor above Huo Yuhao remained silent. They were now inseparable from Huo Yuhao. Although challenging the God King was not a wise choice, even they, as soul beasts, could not stand by and watch what the other party was doing.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's somber expression, Kong Xuan stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't worry, you're not alone, you have me!"
"Your most important task now is to continue to improve your strength. Only when you are strong enough and have enough power will you be able to save your mother and protect the people you want to protect."
"Um!"
Huo Yuhao nodded heavily. In order to see his mother as soon as possible and to rescue her from the God King, he had to become stronger!
