Chapter 82: The Strongest Fortresses Always Break from Within. Encounter Yourself in a Fantasy! (2)
In the end, Su Mo was confident about how to separate Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
However, when Ah Yin heard that Su Mo's condition for handing over Tang Zhen's soul in exchange for revenge was simply to let him fulfill the original bet, she couldn't help but hesitate.
She knew Su Mo's condition was very simple and probably had other intentions.
His true goal was to separate her from her husband, Tang Hao.
But to avenge her son, she couldn't refuse!
"What do you want me to do?"
Ah Yin suppressed her hatred and anger, calmed herself, and asked:
"It's very simple. Didn't I say I only wanted to see if you're more important to Tang Hao than his family and sect?"
So wait until tonight. I'll find the opportunity to create an illusion and draw in your consciousness, Tang Hao's, and Tang Zhen's. Then, all you need to do is tell Tang Hao in the illusion that you and your original son died when being hunted by the Spirit Hall.
Tang Hao knows his father is to blame for all of this. It doesn't matter whether he knows Tang Zhen is already dead.
Anyway, you're in the illusion—just ask him to help your son get revenge.
Don't ask for too much. I'll create a tomb, and you can ask him to help you. Make Tang Zhen kneel before your son's grave and confess his wrongdoings. If
he refuses, it proves that to him, you're not that important. Even if Tang Zhen is still alive, he won't help you or your son take revenge. Is a husband like that even worth it?
And if he agrees, I'll keep my promise to return him to you and even help remove the alien soul that has taken over your son's body, so he can finally rest in peace.
But of course, if your husband Tang Hao doesn't agree at that moment, don't blame me.
Su Mo smiled and said slowly:
"Is it really that simple?"
Ah Yin was still a bit suspicious.
"Simple?"
Su Mo slightly curled his lips and almost laughed.
Of course, the conditions he proposed were simple, but it would be surprising if Tang Hao actually agreed to them with his personality.
At that moment, Ah Yin would be completely dissatisfied with him, or even resentful.
On Earth, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law isn't fatal, but it can still cause a family to fall apart and separate a loving couple.
But the conflict between you and Tang Zhen's daughter-in-law has already escalated to life-threatening levels. Add to that the issue of your son, and not only separation, but becoming enemies is almost inevitable.
At that point, where else could you go but to join me?
"Since it's simple, let's try it,"
Su Mo lightly smiled to himself.
"Alright!"
Ah Yin continued to suppress the hatred and anger in her heart. To avenge her son, she agreed without hesitation, but… she couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Still, she had no regrets.
To avenge her son, she was willing to pay any price.
If her husband Tang Hao wasn't willing to allow Tang Zhen to apologize to their son after learning that Tang Zhen had murdered him,
then that man was not worthy of being her husband!
Ah Yin thought coldly.
Before, she had been deeply loyal to Tang Hao, but for a mother, her child always comes first.
Especially since Ah Yin had died right after giving birth, when her maternal instincts were at their strongest.
For Ah Yin now, compared to her son, her husband had to take a back seat!

Night soon fell.
In the forest behind the Sacred Soul Village, Su Mo dug up Ah Yin, ran to the village, and planted her on the mountain behind the village, not too far away.
That's where the illusion created by the fourth ability of Su Mo's Death Scythe Martial Soul extended: Avici Hell.
The farthest other point in the illusion was the smithy where Tang Hao was.
"Are you ready?"
After planting Ah Yin, Su Mo couldn't help but ask her:
"Ready!"
From the ground grew branches as thick as thumbs, like vines. The silver-blue emperor swayed gently, and Ah Yin's consciousness stood firm.
After receiving Ah Yin's confirmation, Su Mo immediately summoned the Death Scythe Martial Soul and activated its fourth soul ability: Avici Hell.
In an instant, when Su Mo activated the fourth soul ability, an invisible illusion space rapidly formed.
At the same time, the consciousness of Ah Yin, the sleeping Tang Hao in the smithy, and Tang Zhen's spirit inside Su Mo's Death Scythe Martial Soul were instantly pulled into the illusion.

"Where is this?"
In his sleep, as his consciousness was drawn into the illusion space, Tang Hao felt his dream suddenly become clearer, as if he had arrived in a meadow filled with singing birds and blooming flowers, surrounded by dense forest.
"Brother Hao! Brother Hao!"
Familiar cries echoed in his ears, immediately waking Tang Hao's consciousness.
"It's Ah Yin's voice!"
Tang Hao suddenly woke up upon hearing Ah Yin's voice. After suddenly opening his eyes, he found himself lying on a vast grassy hillside.
A breeze blew by—very refreshing.
"Where is this? I should be sleeping at home. How did I end up here? Is this a dream? But why does it feel so real?"
Finding himself in a forest meadow, Tang Hao frowned and thought to himself.
As a Titled Douluo, though due to the Douluo Continent's spiritual master system, except for spirit masters, those cultivating other paths don't develop spiritual power at all.
As a result, Tang Hao had no resistance to Su Mo's Avici Hell and was pulled into the illusion without even realizing it.
But Tang Hao still remembered he had been sleeping before.
However, because spirit masters are extremely rare, and his own cultivation was already that of a Titled Douluo, Tang Hao hadn't realized he had actually fallen under a spiritual illusion ability.
Instead, he thought he was just having a very special and vivid dream.
"Forget it! No matter where this is, I think I heard Ah Yin's voice. Even if it's a dream, if I can see her here, it'll ease the worry in my heart."
Though he was a bit confused by the current situation and didn't know if this was a dream, upon hearing Ah Yin's voice, Tang Hao couldn't help but sigh. No matter what, he had to follow the sound to find her.
Following Ah Yin's call, Tang Hao walked through the grass and soon arrived at the edge of the forest, where he saw Ah Yin standing under a large tree.
"Ah Yin!"
Upon seeing Ah Yin, Tang Hao couldn't help but shout in excitement and rushed to embrace his long-lost wife.
But when Ah Yin saw Tang Hao again, though she was also very emotional, she still remembered the purpose of entering this illusion and forced herself to remain calm. As Tang Hao rushed toward her, she stepped back.
