Haotian Twins, Killing Each Other

Chapter 34: Haotian Twins, Killing Each Other

After a long while, Shura God calculated on his fingers, utterly baffled. There had been no changes at all!

He glanced once more at Douluo Continent within his Divine Vision and finally accepted the fact.

Fortunately, although the plot had gone somewhat off the rails, it was still within his calculations. After all, had his original goal not been to bring this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast together with one of the Haotian Twin Stars, so she could bear a body for Great Treasure to perform a Body Seizure on? As for whether the two of them loved each other, Shura God did not care.

The unexpected development made him pay Douluo Continent an extra glance.

A few days later, Tang Xiao crawled back through sheer willpower and contacted the Clear Sky Sect through people in the city.

At last, the grievously injured Tang Xiao was brought back to the Clear Sky Sect. Tang Tian sat in the Sect Leader's seat, gazing at his paralyzed son with heartache.

Tang Xiao—one of the Haotian Twin Stars, owner of the top-tier Tool Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, and blessed with Innate Full Soul Power. Without any accidents, he had been destined to become a Super Douluo and make his name known across the continent.

He might even have gone a step further and entered the realm of a Limit Douluo, preserving the Clear Sky Sect's glory.

But all of that was over. Tang Xiao's spine had been shattered. In his condition, let alone becoming a Super Douluo or Limit Douluo, even reaching the rank of Title Douluo was questionable.

Of the two pillars representing the Clear Sky Sect's future, one had broken. The Clear Sky Sect had suffered an unbearable loss.

Tang Tian looked at Tang Xiao's lifeless expression, slammed his palm heavily against the armrest, and roared furiously, "Who was it? Xiao'er, tell me who it was! Spirit Hall, or another faction? Who dared harm the genius of my Clear Sky Sect? Do they think that without your father, the Clear Sky Sect is easy to bully?"

Tang Xiao was deeply conflicted. This was hardly something honorable to reveal. Tang Hao had stabbed him in the back and stolen his woman.

But now that he was crippled and Ah Yin had fallen into Tang Hao's hands, Tang Xiao was filled with resentment. He hoped to use the sect's power to find Tang Hao and take Ah Yin back from him.

After figuring this out, Tang Xiao spoke.

"Father... this was not done by an outsider."

He then revealed everything about how he and Tang Hao had met Ah Yin and fallen in love with her.

At the end, Tang Xiao pleaded, "Father, Tang Hao actually attacked me so viciously in order to steal his brother's wife, and he even abducted the woman I love most. Please, Clear Sky Sect, uphold justice for your son!"

Upon hearing Tang Xiao's story, Tang Tian directly spat out a mouthful of old blood onto the floor.

"You..."

"You were actually toyed with so thoroughly by some enchantress that you brothers came to the point of killing each other!" Tang Tian said in grief and fury.

If it had been another faction, Tang Tian could have hated them, been enraged, and sought revenge. But he had never expected this to be a tragedy of brothers turning on each other—and the source of the tragedy was a woman!

The Clear Sky Sect had lost a genius destined to reach the pinnacle because of a woman. Tang Tian could not have regretted it more bitterly.

Inside the main hall, the sect elders whispered among themselves as well. "Who would have thought that the Tang Hao brothers would kill each other over a woman?"

"A beautiful woman truly brings disaster."

"Enchantress, you have ruined our Clear Sky Sect!"

Seeing that the mood in the hall was turning strange, Tang Xiao hurriedly corrected them. "Father, elders, this has nothing to do with Ah Yin. Ah Yin and I loved each other; it was mutual. All of this was Tang Hao's fault—his fault alone!"

"Shut up!" Tang Tian furiously interrupted Tang Xiao. "If not for that enchantress, would you two brothers have fallen to the point of killing each other?"

Things had come to this. Tang Xiao was already crippled, and only Tang Hao remained of the Haotian Twins. So even if Ah Yin was not to blame, she would have to bear the blame.

After saying that, Tang Tian roared, "Where is Tang Hao? Where is that unfilial son? Tell him to get back here and see me!"

An elder said, "Reporting to Sect Leader, Tang Hao has already lost contact."

"Lost contact?" Tang Tian was so furious that his beard trembled and his eyes bulged. "Then issue a bounty! Offer a reward for information on that unfilial son Tang Hao!"

Thus, the Clear Sky Sect issued a bounty order for information regarding Tang Hao.

The number one sect under heaven was actually offering a reward for news of its own successor. This drew the attention of every faction, and spies began to move. Before long, news that the Haotian Twins had fought viciously over a woman spread without wings.

Spirit Hall, Pope's Palace

"The Haotian Twins, killing each other? Hahahaha! Good, good, good! They killed each other well!" When Qian Xunji received the news, he nearly held a banquet on the spot.

"Congratulations, Your Holiness the Pope. Tang Xiao is no longer a grave threat to Spirit Hall," the hall-protecting Golden Bell Douluo congratulated him.

Qian Xunji nodded in satisfaction. "What a pity. How wonderful it would have been if Tang Hao had been crippled too."

Silver Hammer Douluo's eyes shifted as he offered a suggestion. "Your Holiness the Pope, should we investigate Tang Hao's whereabouts as well? We can secretly stir up the conflict between Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect, let them fight until both sides are ruined, and then reap the benefits ourselves."

"Good. Do as you say." Qian Xunji's eyes lit up.

Spirit Hall, Worship Hall

The situation involving Tang Hao and the other two reminded Qian Daoliu of himself. Back then, he and Tang Chen had both loved the same woman. Unfortunately, Xi Xi only loved Tang Chen. Once he knew he had no chance, he had voluntarily withdrawn.

If he loved her and knew he could not gain her love, taking the initiative to withdraw, fulfilling the other person's wishes, and cutting his losses in time was the wisest choice. Qian Daoliu had never expected Tang Chen's descendants to do such a thing.

Qian Renxue smiled knowingly upon receiving the news.

"Xue'er, what has made you so happy?" Qian Daoliu asked.

Qian Renxue said, "Grandfather, did you know? In my memories, Tang Hao and Ah Yin loved each other deeply. Tang Xiao chose to withdraw voluntarily. The brothers were harmonious, the couple was loving, and there was no drama of brothers killing each other or a younger brother stealing his elder brother's wife."

"Then why did this happen?"

Qian Renxue sighed. "Love is a double-edged sword. In some hands, it becomes a sharp weapon for mocking people's hearts. Others become immersed in it and, without realizing it, are manipulated by their emotions. In the hands of gods, emotions are threads, controlling their chess pieces to achieve their goals. Back then, the Angel God Assessment was tampered with by Sea God, causing me to fall in love with Tang San. If, at the time, I had not thought about subduing Tang San but had instead eliminated that threat, then Spirit Hall... But thinking about it carefully, what difference would that have made? He could revive once, so he could revive a second time."

Hearing of Qian Renxue's experience, Qian Daoliu felt somewhat powerless. He raised his head and looked at the Angel God Statue within the Worship Hall. After a long silence, he asked, "With Divine Ancestor here in this life, he certainly will not let you encounter such filthy matters, Xue'er. Since you mentioned gods, does that mean there is a god behind this matter?"

Qian Renxue nodded. "Yes. Without the methods of a god, how could there be a situation where Tang Hao and his brother killed each other, a younger brother stole his elder brother's wife, and the future couple came to hate one another?" At that point, Qian Renxue suddenly recalled her past life. A strange expression appeared on her face as she said meaningfully, "That Tang San really was blessed in the future."

"Now that we have started over, we also have a god behind us."
