Sowing Discord

Huo Yuhao asked somewhat strangely, "Who told you that Sea God Tang San's Martial Soul was ordinary Blue Silver Grass?"

Bei Bei spoke up to corroborate Tang Ya's words. "Both the Tang Sect Records and Shrek Academy's records state that Sea God's Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass. It was only through Sea God's own efforts that it underwent a second awakening and became the Blue Silver Emperor, which was why Blue Silver Grass shone with a brilliance in Sea God's hands that no one else had ever achieved."

Huo Yuhao truly had not expected the records of this era to say such a thing. Tang San had not completed his second awakening through his own efforts at all—it had been thanks to his mother. He just did not know whether Tang San himself had written those records or whether Yu Xiaogang had. They really had screwed over the younger generations of their own sect.

Huo Yuhao could only explain to them, "You know that Sea God had Twin Martial Souls, right?"

Bei Bei said, "Yes. Sea God's Second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer."

Huo Yuhao said, "Do you know that the quality of two Martial Souls in Twin Martial Souls must be close to each other?"

Bei Bei fell silent for a moment before answering, "I do."

He already knew where the problem lay.

Huo Yuhao asked curiously, "Then how did you come to believe that the Martial Soul born alongside the Clear Sky Hammer could be ordinary Blue Silver Grass?"

Could you be Yu Xiaogang?

Oh, so you're Yu Xiaogang's descendant. Then never mind.

At those words, Tang Ya's face instantly turned deathly pale. She muttered to herself, "That's right... How could a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul that was twin to the Clear Sky Hammer be ordinary Blue Silver Grass? But... but why would the records say that?"

Those were the Sect Records personally written by Tang San, the first Sect Leader. They had been passed down through the Tang Sect generation after generation, and no one had dared alter them. But why would Sea God write that his own Martial Soul was ordinary Blue Silver Grass?

Seeing Tang Ya's pale face, Bei Bei's heart ached for her. Although he felt strange whenever he looked at Tang Ya now, the feelings built over so many years had not vanished. Bei Bei could not help comforting her. "Perhaps the people who recorded it afterward made a mistake, and it spread from mouth to mouth until it became an accepted fact. It's all right, Xiao Ya. As long as we work hard, we'll definitely find a way for ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls to evolve."

Tang Ya felt an indescribable pain in her heart, because she knew clearly that those Sect Records had been written by Tang San himself.

How laughable!

The dream of reviving the Tang Sect now looked like nothing more than a joke, and even her last sliver of hope for revenge was gone. No matter how hard she worked, with nothing but ordinary Blue Silver Grass as her Martial Soul, when would she ever succeed in taking revenge? Tang Ya felt the darkness and hatred in her heart devouring her bit by bit. Even her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul stirred restlessly.

"The persistence of the Tang Sect's ancestors for ten thousand years was all because of an erroneous record passed down by hearsay. How utterly laughable... Hehahaha." Tang Ya laughed through her tears, unable to tell whether she was grieving or mocking herself.

If Sea God had even held something back from his sect's descendants about his own Martial Soul, then perhaps, just as little Yuhao had said, Patriarch Tang San had never passed down those Hidden Weapons. Perhaps... perhaps even the Tang Sect's other secret arts were incomplete? Tang Ya did not dare think further. If that were true, then all the Tang Sect ancestors who had shed blood and sweat for the Tang Sect's glory would be utterly laughable. Her wish to revive the Tang Sect would be just as laughable. And so would her parents, her grandfather, all those who had given their lives for the Tang Sect—

They were all clowns being toyed with!

The small support Tang Ya had relied on to revive the Tang Sect shattered just like that. She could only feel the darkness in her heart continuing to erode her, making her feel unlike herself. Darkness brewed in Tang Ya's lovely Phoenix Eyes, and a faint trace of purple flashed through them before vanishing, adding a touch of wickedness to her aura. A captivating smile curved across Tang Ya's lips, seeming both sarcastic and self-mocking.

Seeing Tang Ya's crazed appearance, Huo Yuhao muttered inwardly, Could it be that Dark Blue Silver Grass is about to awaken?

Huo Yuhao had already decided to poach her, so he still did not want Tang Ya to become an Evil Soul Master. Though Tang Ya looked even more beautiful now with that hint of wicked charm and seductiveness, once her mind was eroded, she would only become a madwoman. Huo Yuhao would not like a madwoman.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly used Martial Soul Possession. After concealing it with Simulation, he slowly soothed Tang Ya's emotions and guided her thoughts with Soul Interference. At the same time, he did not forget to comfort her aloud. "Don't be sad, Xiao Ya-jie. Although those records were wrong, the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul really does exist. What your Tang Sect ancestors pursued was the evolution of ordinary Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Emperor, wasn't it? I happen to know a way to evolve Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Emperor."

It's just that this method is a tiny bit difficult for you!

Bei Bei also hurriedly urged, "Xiao Ya, look—little brother Yuhao knows a way to evolve the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Once your Martial Soul evolves, wouldn't you have fulfilled the obsession of the Tang Sect's ancestors?"

Under Huo Yuhao's Soul Interference and the verbal comfort of the two of them, Tang Ya finally calmed down little by little, returning completely to how she had been before. Bei Bei sighed in relief at the sight, but he did not notice that the darkness hidden deep in Tang Ya's eyes had not dispersed. Instead, it had concealed itself.

Huo Yuhao's spiritual power was strong, so he noticed Tang Ya's subtle change.

Looks like Tang Ya has gone dark, but not completely.

Bei Bei sincerely pleaded with Huo Yuhao, "Little brother Yuhao, can you tell us how to evolve the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul? We'll repay you properly."

Huo Yuhao could not possibly tell Bei Bei the method so easily. For one thing, he was not some selfless saint. For another, the method was to find the Blue Silver Emperor from the Original Work that had grown to one hundred and ninety thousand years, then have it sacrifice itself to Tang Ya. It was simply impossible for Tang Ya to accomplish. By then, if Tang Ya lost hope again, she would likely soon awaken Dark Blue Silver Grass of her own accord, become an Evil Soul Master, and seek revenge.

Huo Yuhao came up with an excuse to decline. "Sorry, this is a secret recorded by my sect. I can't tell you casually. I must obtain my sect's permission."

Bei Bei asked anxiously, "So little brother Yuhao already belongs to a sect. May I ask what sect it is? We are willing to trade for this method of evolving the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul."

Huo Yuhao pretended to ponder for a moment, then said apologetically, "We are a Hidden Sect, and the people in our sect dislike outsiders visiting. Don't worry, Brother Bei Bei. I'll help Xiao Ya-jie."

Tang Ya had also fully recovered by then. Looking at Huo Yuhao, she revealed a strained smile. "Thank you for your kindness, little Yuhao, but a secret like evolving a Martial Soul is probably not something your sect would easily tell an outsider, right? How about this, little Yuhao? Do you think I can join your sect? As long as I learn the method for evolving the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, after I complete one matter, I can risk my life for your sect."
