Chapter 255: Bai He Death
The soul beast's breath came and went quickly. After Alang picked up the strange flower in a panic, the breath that belonged to the hundred-thousand-year Gale Demon Wolf's transformed soul beast completely disappeared.

However, because everyone's attention was on Tang Hao before, Alang was protected by Tang Hao again. Her soul beast identity was naturally discovered by a group of Soul Douluo and above, including Tang Xiao and the six elders of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Transformed soul beast! This woman's true identity is actually a transformed soul beast!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Then, the huge Clear Sky Sect square erupted.
Whether it was the lower four sect masters, the platinum bishop of the Star Luo City Spirit Hall, or other soul masters, their faces showed greed and covetousness.
Even Hu Yanzhen, who had followed Lin Hanye to the sea and saw how he hunted a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, was no exception.
He asked Haixing, "Young Master, this woman is a transformed soul beast. Her original form is the extremely rare Wind Demon Wolf King, which is compatible with your Ice Wolf King martial soul. Do you want to capture her?"
The four clan leaders of the lower clans had already secretly joined the Spirit Master Guild. Otherwise, Lin Hanye would not have helped them become Titled Douluo. After discovering Alang's identity, they all looked at Haixing. As long as Haixing gave the order, they would join Hu Yanzhen in capturing Alang.
In this way, they could earn merit with Lin Hanye. In the future, they might not only gain a 100,000-year soul ring or soul bone for their clansmen, but also precious treasures that extended the absorption period of soul rings.
With enough contributions, they might even receive the Guild's reward of "breaking through one's talent limit" and be promoted quickly to Titled Douluo.
After all, their president never stinted on rewarding the meritorious.
Ning Fengzhi, who stood nearby, had already learned about Alang's identity from Yu Luomian. Seeing Hu Yanzhen and the four lower sect masters eyeing her greedily, his heart rose to his throat.
Because if Haixing—disciple of the Spirit Master Guild's president—gave the order, Hu Yanzhen and the other four Titled Douluo would immediately fight with the Clear Sky Sect.
At that moment, as the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which side should he help?
He was unwilling to aid the Spirit Master Guild, since he and Lin Hanye were enemies.
Yet he was also unwilling to help the Clear Sky Sect, because that would put him in opposition to the Guild—a force as powerful as Spirit Hall.
If he helped neither side, the Clear Sky Sect likely couldn't survive the day.
So, Ning Fengzhi could only silently pray that the Spirit Master Guild would not act.
The platinum bishop of the Star Luo Empire and the Clear Sky Sect hoped the same.
The bishop had only been dispatched because the pope had looked down on the Clear Sky Sect. If the Guild acted, this 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast would be useless to Spirit Hall.
But if they didn't act, it implied they wouldn't intervene in the future either. Then this soul beast might fall into Spirit Hall's hands.
The Clear Sky Sect, meanwhile, was secretly relieved.
They had thought today's events would make them a laughingstock—or worse, lead to internal bloodshed.
But Alang's exposed identity as a 100,000-year-old soul beast meant there was now a chance.
Tang Hao had just broken through Rank 90. If he absorbed Alang's soul ring, their sect would immediately gain a powerful Titled Douluo with a 100,000-year ring.
Moreover, he was the Clear Sky Douluo—the sect's heir.
At that moment, aside from the Hao brothers, everyone stared at Haixing.
After all, her words could determine the fate of this rare transformed soul beast.
"No. Teacher said that as long as the transformed soul beast doesn't harm humans, we shouldn't interfere."
To everyone's surprise—and some people's joy—Haixing refused. Before she left, her teacher's wife, Bibi Dong, had explicitly said her mission this time was only to observe.
This made the platinum bishop, Ning Fengzhi, and the Clear Sky Sect breathe a sigh of relief.
The bishop, worried that delay might bring change, immediately ordered the Spirit Hall knights to send word to the pope.
Now, all eyes fell on Alang.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were no exception.
The two brothers only hesitated for a moment before their expressions grew resolute again.
Of course, they knew what a 100,000-year-old soul beast meant. Especially Tang Hao—his ninth ring needed to be one.
But the love they both held for Alang diluted all that.
So what if she was a soul beast?
Once she matured, she'd be human in form, indistinguishable from others.
Besides, they believed she was carrying their child.
Tang Xiao looked at Alang—"pitiful and panicked"—with tender eyes. He calmly transmitted to Tang Hao, "Brother Hao, you know her identity. Return Alang to me. I'll take her far from the sect."
"Impossible," Tang Hao refused without hesitation. "If you still consider me your brother, let Alang and me leave."
Alang was carrying his child.
She also loved him—Tang Hao.
Why should Tang Xiao hide away with her just because he was the elder brother?
"You—"
Hearing this, even the even-tempered Tang Xiao couldn't suppress his anger.
He had always yielded to Tang Hao—except on Alang.
Moreover, now that Alang's identity was known, news would soon spread. Even if the Guild didn't act, Spirit Hall might.
That would endanger not only Alang and the child but also their entire sect.
Since Tang Hao wouldn't back down, Tang Xiao decided to let him take Alang for now.
Hidden in the dark, Lin Hanye watched with Bibi Dong. Smiling secretly, she transmitted to Alang: "Add more fuel to the fire."
Alang nodded subtly, appearing even more helpless and vulnerable. She pleaded telepathically to Tang Xiao, "Xiao, don't let him take me. Now that he knows my identity, Tang Hao no longer wants to marry me. I can feel it—he wants my soul ring. I can't die. Our child is still in my belly."
Then, she transmitted to Tang Hao: "Hao, I'm sorry for hiding it from you. I'm happy you came to take me. I'm only worried about our child. After I give birth, if you still want my soul ring—I won't blame you."
Tang Xiao, who had just agreed to let Tang Hao take her, immediately turned cold. He said sternly, "Brother Hao, don't force me. Give Alang back, stay in the sect, and become our next sect master. Then you'll still be my brother."
Tang Xiao was unwilling to give her up. Why would Tang Hao?
Especially after Alang said she would give him her soul ring after the birth.
"Alang, I won't give up on you," Tang Hao whispered softly, then grabbed Alang in one hand and raised his hammer in the other—pointed at Tang Xiao, the six elders, and all the soul masters present at the wedding.
