The Pitiful and the Hateful

"How is this possible? This, this is impossible!!!"

Qian Renxue's head buzzed, and she became completely distraught.

Pufferfish and Snake Lance Douluo, who had been lurking in the shadows, snapped out of their shock. They hurriedly stepped forward to support Qian Renxue, then looked toward Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, who were sitting there frozen in a stupor.

"Apologies, Sect Master Ning."

"His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be feeling a bit unwell. We must assist him to go and rest."

"Ah?" Ning Fengzhi came back to his senses, though he remained immersed in shock. He merely waved his hand dismissively and said, "Since Qinghe is feeling unwell, he should go and rest."

Throughout the entire exchange, his gaze remained fixed on the sky screen, paying no mind to how Xue Qinghe was actually doing.

As for Xue Qinghe, who was being carried away by the two men, she was already like a marionette, her eyes hollow and devoid of any vitality.

Her spirit had been shattered!

"How is this possible? This is impossible!"

Qian Renxue shouted, "How, how could my mother have killed my father?!"

The image of Bibi Dong killing Qian Xunji was, for her, absolutely earth-shattering—the kind of revelation capable of crushing her completely.

From childhood to adulthood.

Qian Renxue had been showered with countless favors, yet she was the only one her mother refused to acknowledge.

Originally, she had assumed it was simply due to the nature of their martial souls, which caused her mother to have a natural repulsion toward her.

Now, she finally understood why.

It was because her mother had hated her from the very beginning.

No, it should be that she hated the entire Qian family, hated their whole lineage—from the people to their martial souls—with a hatred deep enough to incite Killing Intent.

Why on earth was this?

Qian Renxue could not fathom it.

"The Great Enshrined ordered us to bring the Young Master back to Martial Soul Hall," Pufferfish Douluo said.

Snake Lance Douluo nodded. "With the sky screen descending today, I fear it will stir up quite a few disputes. We can let the others continue to lie in ambush here in the Heaven Dou Empire while we take the Young Master back."

"Let's go!"

After Qian Renxue left.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo finally reacted.

Sword Douluo set down his teacup and clicked his tongue. "I never expected such a secret behind the events of that year. If this had not been exposed, I fear no one would have ever known."

Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Indeed. No wonder Tang Hao refused to admit it even at the cost of his life back then. It seems he knew clearly that even if that battle had been as tragic as possible, it would have been impossible for Qian Xunji to die from it."

Meanwhile.

Tang Hao, the man who had been forced to take the fall, was equally stunned.

"I said it! I said it all along!"

He muttered to himself, sounding like a wronged child. "I never killed Qian Xunji back then. Martial Soul Hall, you forced Ah Yin to her death, and you forced my father to his death. You deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

"Ah Yin, do you see this?"

Tang Hao gently stroked Ah Yin, saying, "The screen has vindicated me!"

"Martial Soul Hall, I will make you pay back the harm you inflicted upon me a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"

Sharing his fury was the Clear Sky Sect.

"What?! Tang Hao was actually not the murderer who killed Qian Xunji!"

"The current Pope killed the previous Pope, yet they made our Clear Sky Sect take the blame. What a massive frame-up!"

"Martial Soul Hall, you are truly sinister. Because of a trumped-up charge, you slaughtered the talented generation of our Clear Sky Sect, killed my wife and child, and wiped out my kin. Now that the truth has finally come to light, it is decades too late!"

The Clear Sky Sect was filled with resentment.

Tang Xiao was even more furious. Back then, the entire younger generation of the Clear Sky Sect had died in battle, leaving behind only those with mediocre talent.

Now that the injustice had been cleared, how laughable it all was!

"Martial Soul Hall, this hatred is irreconcilable!"

Tang Xiao roared.

The entire Clear Sky Sect was ablaze with fury.

As for the people of the world, they likewise voiced their indignation, confusion, and skepticism.

They could not understand why the current Pope would kill the previous one.

In an instant, Every soul master in the world began to raise questions. The authority of Martial Soul Hall was beginning to crumble, bit by bit.

At this very moment—

The sky screen changed once again.

Qian Xunji, his body pierced through, looked up in disbelief. "You... why... gurgle~"

But before he could finish, blood choked his throat, leaving only a continuous gurgling sound.

Bibi Dong's face was twisted with ferocity as she laughed maniacally.

"Why?!"

"Qian Xunji, you actually have the nerve to ask me why?!"

Bibi Dong shrieked hysterically, "Back then, you blocked me from being with Yu Xiaogang. I didn't blame you for that, but why did you have to use that method?!"

"Do you know how it felt when you used your soul power to crush the breath out of me, forcing me to lie there stripped bare in that cold darkness, and ravaging me?"

"Despair!!!"

"Qian Xunji, I treated you as my teacher, as my father!"

"Yet you did such a vile thing to me!"

"You raped me!!!"

"You made me conceive the bastard child of your Qian family. You stripped me of my purity, you ruined my reputation, and you made it impossible for me to face Xiaogang!"

"You destroyed me!!!"

"And now you ask me why?!"

"I am filled with resentment, I hate you!!!"

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Bibi Dong broke down in tears. The Spider Spears behind her back acted like long spears, thrusting repeatedly through Qian Xunji.

She pierced him alive until he was riddled with holes like a beehive.

Whoosh—!

Heaven and earth fell silent.

When these words and the scene appeared before everyone's eyes, no matter who they were, they were stunned into stupidity!

Qian Renxue, who was on her way back to Martial Soul Hall, saw the scene on the sky screen and fainted on the spot.

The successive blows shattered her Dao heart completely, leaving her unable to accept the reality of the situation.

Her own father had raped her mother, and her mother had killed her father.

Even for anyone else, this would be a soul-crushing event.

Despair. Collapse.

Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang clutched his chest, gasping for air.

The others rushed forward one after another.

"Grandmaster?!"

"Teacher!?"

"I... I'm fine!"

Yu Xiaogang spoke with great difficulty, but his tears were already streaming down, gathering into a river that soaked a large patch of grass.

"Why... no, it was me. It was I who ruined you!"

Yu Xiaogang felt a heart-wrenching pain.

It was true that he had impure motives when he first approached Bibi Dong, but during that time, he had truly developed feelings of love for her.

Now, the love he had already let go of...

At this moment, seeing Bibi Dong suffer such harm, he felt as if he were being twisted by a knife.

"I'm sorry!"

He choked out the words.

The others had also guessed some of the truth from the images on the sky screen.

Flender sighed.

"Let Xiaogang have some peace and quiet."

Far North.

Several terrifying auras drifted out as the wind and snow scattered.

Two figures appeared.

The Heavenly Snow Woman, with a dress of melting snow, skin of crystalline ice, and a bewitching figure, gazed at the sky and shook her head:

"Humans, such complex creatures."

Beside her, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, whose body resembled dark green crystal and was clad in armor, sneered:

"Indeed, humans deserve to die!"

"Snow Empress, if you were to die for a human in the future, only to be persecuted by them, what would you think?"

"Me? Humans are not worthy!"

At this moment.

The Douluo World was in an uproar.

Everyone had witnessed a love that transcended species.

They had also witnessed an absurd and perverted love.

Although both shattered their worldviews, people only felt that life was unpredictable.

Because, they were both hateful and pitiable!

Rumble--!

As if unwilling to let such emotions shroud the entire continent.

The sky trembled.

A few large characters slowly emerged.
