"Traitor, rebel, villain, Thief Hao, give me back my father's life!"
Tang Lie had already been blinded by rage. With a furious roar, he summoned his Haotian True Body and charged forward headfirst.
"I already said it, I didn't do it on purpose."
Tang Hao's brain had never worked very well to begin with, and after Tang Lie cursed him out, he immediately brought his hammer down and blasted him several meters away.
"Elders, help me capture this traitor!"
Tang Xiao had completely lost faith in his younger brother. He intended to take him back to the Clear Sky Sect, cripple his cultivation, and make him keep vigil for their father.
"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, Nine-Nine Returns to One!" *6
The enormous hammer crackling with black lightning descended slowly, carrying power capable of destroying heaven and earth.
"Explode Spirit Rings, All Nine Rings Explode."
Tang Hao had originally intended to explode eight rings, but suddenly discovered that the ninth ring could be exploded as well. Though puzzled, the situation gave him no time to think further.
The force generated by the collision of the two giant hammers blew apart the thatched cottage behind Tang Hao, revealing the frail Yun'er inside.
Seeing Yun'er barely clinging to life, Tang Xiao's eyes turned red. He hurriedly flashed over, seized the chance while Tang Hao was distracted to take Yun'er away, and transferred some Soul Power to sustain her weakened body.
Tang Hao, who had originally been at a disadvantage, suddenly had a trace of red light flash through his eyes. The Asura God had exerted its power. He immediately used All Nine Rings Explode once more.
"Not good, get out of the way!"
By the time Tang Ming spoke, it was already too late. Gritting his teeth, he used his own body to withstand the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Lao Da!"
The other elders wept bitterly, their hearts filled with grief and fury as they watched Tang Ming's body explode.
Even Tang Hao was dumbfounded when he came back to his senses. He did not know what had happened either. A powerful burst of energy had suddenly erupted from him and directly hammered the Great Elder to death.
Yet when he saw the remaining elders glaring at him in rage, he felt guilty, but also chilled to the bone.
If you hadn't chased me, would those elders have died?
If Big Brother had willingly sent Yun'er to my bed, would I have injured him?
Setting the facts aside, weren't the people of the Clear Sky Sect also at fault?
After a period of internal struggle, Tang Hao turned dark. He was not wrong. The Clear Sky Sect was wrong. If the Clear Sky Sect had fulfilled his wishes, none of this would have happened.
In his eyes, the Clear Sky Sect had already rotted away. Only a great hero like him becoming sect master could make it even greater.
He understood. Then, he used the Clear Sky Hammer to knock back everyone around him and fled into the distance.
Watching Tang Hao's departing back, every member of the Clear Sky Sect was furious. The remaining elders shouted angrily, "Issue a wanted notice! Three Fifty Thousand Year Soul Bones for Tang Hao! Anyone who provides a verified location will be rewarded with one million Gold Soul Coins!"
Tang Xiao's face was also grim. This time, their Clear Sky Sect had lost three elders. The Great Elder had already reached Level 89 and was very likely to become a Titled Douluo within a few years.
"Fine. I'll have the wanted notice issued."
As he spoke, he looked at Yun'er, who had fainted in his arms from weakness. His eyes were filled with hatred for Tang Hao, because Tang Hao had even taken away Tang Xiao's son.
But he could not admit it. Otherwise, Tang Hao might very well kill his son to vent his anger.
The Clear Sky Sect's internal conflict was no small matter. It could not be concealed, and within just a few days, news had spread across the entire continent.
Because of its severe losses, the Clear Sky Sect also announced that it would seal off its mountain. Of the Upper Three Sects, only Ning Fengzhi remained, still hopping about everywhere.
After learning of the bounty on Tang Hao, some people deliberately or casually began searching for his whereabouts.
Quite a few bold people also tried to scam the one million Gold Soul Coins, only to have their legs broken by the Clear Sky Sect and be thrown out.
Spirit Hall.
Qian Xunfeng lay on the bed, holding Ah Yin as he watched the Clear Sky Sect's losses with great interest.
This time, he wanted to see what excuse Bingqing Yujie Tang San would use to crusade against Spirit Hall.
"What's got you so happy?"
Ah Yin seemed to recall Gu Yuena, whom Qian Xunfeng had brought back a few days ago, and pouted unhappily.
"Of course it's because my Yin'er is so adorable."
Qian Xunfeng chuckled, tossed Qian Renchuan onto the little bed, and teased Ah Yin in his arms.
"You're awful."
Ah Yin's face turned red from his antics, and she leaned shyly against Qian Xunfeng's chest.
As for Qian Renchuan, he stared wordlessly at the ceiling.
"Dad and Mom are still like this."
Qian Renchuan had a secret: he possessed a strange set of memories. Within his mind was a cultivation method called the Tang Sect Secret Arts.
This was his secret. After learning that gods existed in this world, he planned to use the gods as an excuse in the future to hand this cultivation method over to his family.
Perhaps because of his previous life, Qian Renchuan valued this family greatly. In this life, his family was complete and happy, and he was deeply loved.
At this time, Qian Renchuan knew nothing of any damn Tang Sect rules or the rules of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. He was merely Qian Renchuan, fortunate enough to possess fragments of memories from his previous life.
One year later.
Bibi Dong returned from Slaughter City and came to Pope's Palace to meet Qian Xunfeng.
"Your Excellency the Pope, Dong'er has returned."
Before Qian Xunfeng, the killing intent around Bibi Dong instantly dispersed. She willingly knelt before him.
During her two years in Slaughter City, she had relied on her longing for Qian Xunfeng, as well as the cup he had used that she had taken with her, to pass the Slaughter Trial.
"Mm. You received a god's inheritance?"
At Qian Xunfeng's words, Bibi Dong's body trembled. But she quickly calmed down and silently told herself that she could not hide anything from her teacher.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Pope. It was a god called the Rakshasa God. She said my martial soul was very suited to her Divine Throne."
Bibi Dong's gaze was resolute as she revealed the Rakshasa God without hesitation. The Rakshasa God had told her that she could help her obtain her teacher.
But she wanted to earn her teacher's forgiveness and recognition on her own.
She, Bibi Dong, would certainly win her teacher's forgiveness with complete sincerity.
"Very good."
Qian Xunfeng wore a calm smile. Looking at Bibi Dong, he felt that he might have disciplined her too harshly. His voice softened as he said, "Dong'er, come here."
"Dong'er!"
Hearing this long-lost form of address, Bibi Dong's body gradually began to tremble. Teacher... has Teacher finally acknowledged me?
In her excitement, Bibi Dong's mind went blank. She even forgot to stand and crawled directly to Qian Xunfeng's feet.
Sensing her teacher's aura, Bibi Dong looked at him with infatuation and greedily inhaled the faint fragrance from Qian Xunfeng's body.
"Teacher, have you forgiven Dong'er?"
As though afraid that everything was merely wishful thinking, Bibi Dong hugged one of her teacher's legs and knelt on the ground. Looking hopefully into his eyes, she asked sincerely.
"Open your mind. No matter what happens, do not resist."
Qian Xunfeng neither explicitly said that he forgave her nor said that he did not. It was entirely up to Bibi Dong to interpret it.
He now possessed 50% of the Order Authority. Even if the Asura God came, with the Oath of Heavenly Words, he could still contend with him to some extent. He planned to directly use the Rakshasa God Trial to control the Rakshasa God, thereby binding Bibi Dong even more tightly to himself.
"Mm. Please deal with Dong'er however you wish, Teacher."
Bibi Dong's eyes were dreamy. As she looked at Qian Xunfeng's face, little hearts seemed to appear in her eyes. She wished she could offer herself to her teacher on the spot, and she would not hesitate in the slightest. She had fantasized about it countless times already.
She secretly felt delighted. Her teacher had not rejected her, which meant he had begun to forgive her. As long as she worked a little harder, she would surely receive her teacher's forgiveness.
As her fantasies continued, a small puddle gradually formed beneath her. Two years of longing had become tangible at this moment.
