After hearing the words of the Heavenly Curtain, Tang Hao, who had been laughing just a moment ago, froze completely.

"Wh... what?"

He hadn't misread it—the scene the Heavenly Curtain had just played was the moment he learned that Ah Yin had sacrificed herself for him, when he had completely lost his mind.

It hadn't shown any of his other dark secrets.

So why was the Heavenly Curtain suddenly calling him a heartless, faithless scumbag?

This... this had to be a mistake, right?

But before Tang Hao could react, the Heavenly Curtain's voice rang out again.

"Everyone might be very curious: Ah Yin was forced by that beast Qian Xunji to sacrifice herself to Tang Hao, and Tang Hao reluctantly accepted her sacrifice, fighting to the death to kill Qian Xunji and avenge his wife."

"That doesn't sound like what I'm saying at all, does it?"

"But don't panic—listen to me slowly."

"In truth, the cause of all this is that beast in human form, Tang Hao."

As soon as these words were spoken, they stirred up a stormy sea in the hearts of everyone on Douluo Continent.

"All of this was Tang Hao's scheme? What's going on?"

At this moment, in the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists tightly and muttered in disbelief:

"Impossible, impossible, this absolutely cannot be!!"

"How could Hao-di, who loved Ah Yin so much, have lured the Martial Soul Hall people into killing her?"

"Besides, the Martial Soul Hall and our Clear Sky Sect have never gotten along. Hao-di didn't even know Qian Xunji, the previous Pope of the Martial Soul Hall. How could they have conspired to kill Ah Yin?"

"And on top of that, Ah Yin was Hao-di's wife, and she bore him a son. What could Hao-di possibly gain by killing her?"

At this point, Tang Xiao's voice cut off abruptly. An expression of utter disbelief crept onto his face.

Could it be... that Tang Hao's goal was to force Ah Yin to sacrifice herself to him?

This thought flashed through Tang Xiao's mind, and then he frantically shook his head, trying to throw the absurd idea out of his brain.

Impossible, absolutely impossible. Based on his understanding of Tang Hao, he should... probably not do something like this, right?

Although Tang Hao truly loved Ah Yin, from Tang Xiao's knowledge of his genius younger brother, Tang Hao's heart was even more driven by the pursuit of power.

At this thought, Tang Xiao's heart sank into pain and confusion.

If this Heavenly Curtain was real, what was he supposed to do!

On the other side, Tang Hao's eyes were wide open, staring fixedly at the images on the Heavenly Curtain.

No, don't, please don't expose him!

At this moment, Tang Hao's mood was like a student returning to school after the holidays, praying the teacher wouldn't check their homework.

But the more Tang Hao feared something, the more the Heavenly Curtain delivered it.

"In truth, Ah Yin did not sacrifice herself to Tang Hao willingly. Tang Hao forced her to do it."

"Don't argue with me just yet. Now let me unravel the major doubts here."

"First, the thing that has baffled me the most is this."

"Why did Qian Xunji of the Martial Soul Hall discover that Ah Yin, who was by Tang Hao's side, was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, and why did it happen exactly when Tang Hao was at level eighty-nine?"

"That's because if it had been earlier, Tang Hao wouldn't have reached level eighty-nine and couldn't have absorbed Ah Yin's soul ring as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

"As for later, if it had been later, Tang Hao would already have his ninth soul ring, and then who would Ah Yin have sacrificed herself to?"

"Right when Tang Hao was about to absorb his ninth soul ring, Qian Xunji discovered Ah Yin's true identity. Isn't that just a little too coincidental?"

After a brief pause, giving everyone some time to process, the Heavenly Curtain spoke again:

"After I raised the first doubt, some might say, 'Couldn't it just be that Tang Hao got lucky?'"

"Fine, then let me bring up the second doubt: why did Qian Xunji discover Ah Yin's true identity at this exact time?"

"For so long, Ah Yin had never been found by the Martial Soul Hall. She had been with Tang Hao for so long without being discovered, yet she was found right when Tang Hao was at level eighty-nine."

"At this point, someone might say, 'As the most outstanding genius of the younger generation in the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao would naturally be watched by the Martial Soul Hall. Isn't it normal for the Martial Soul Hall to see through Ah Yin's identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast based on Tang Hao?'"

At this moment, in the Heaven Dou Empire, at the Moonlight Pavilion.

A graceful and dignified woman stared at the Heavenly Curtain with icy eyes.

This was Tang Hao's younger sister, Tang Yuehua.

As someone who had always admired Tang Hao, Tang Yuehua was furious upon hearing the Heavenly Curtain "slander" her brother.

"Yes, you yourself admit that my brother, as a genius of the Clear Sky Sect, would be targeted by the Martial Soul Hall, yet you still slander him. What are your intentions?"

Tang Yuehua kept condemning what the Heavenly Curtain had said about Tang Hao:

"My brother has already lost Sister Ah Yin, and even the child he raised with such 'painstaking effort' isn't his own. He's already suffered so much, and you still slander him!"

"Heavenly Curtain, do you have no heart at all!"

But fate works in mysterious ways, and the Heavenly Curtain seemed to hear Tang Yuehua's accusations.

After a brief silence of a few seconds, the Heavenly Curtain's voice suddenly grew louder, ringing clearly in Tang Yuehua's ears:

"Wrong, completely wrong!!"

"As for anyone who thinks that way, I can only say you've been deceived by that scumbag Tang Hao."

"First of all, I won't deny that Martial Soul Hall's spies were indeed watching Tang Hao."

"But you need to understand—Tang Hao and Ah Yin were together for quite a long time!"

"The two brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao met her when they first came down from the mountain. After encountering Ah Yin, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao even fought over her."

"In the end, Ah Yin chose that beast in human form, Tang Hao. Tang Xiao, knowing the situation, voluntarily withdrew to make room for his younger brother and returned to the Clear Sky Sect."

"Alright, let me walk everyone through the timeline. Qian Xunji came to capture Ah Yin and Tang Hao shortly after Tang San was born."

"In my opinion, Tang Hao and Ah Yin must have conceived Tang San after Tang Xiao left. Otherwise, Tang Xiao's strength was no lower than Tang Hao's."

"If they had conceived Tang San before Tang Xiao left, Tang Xiao would have clearly heard it."

"Or perhaps Tang Xiao heard the commotion of Tang Hao and Ah Yin conceiving Tang San in the middle of the night and, unable to bear the humiliation, returned to the Clear Sky Sect—that's also possible."

Hearing this, far away in the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao's old face flushed red.

"Nonsense, utter nonsense!!!"

But just as Tang Xiao grew so furious, he suddenly snapped back to reality.

Could the evidence shown on the Heavenly Curtain actually be true?

Thus, not daring to be careless in the slightest, Tang Xiao pricked up his ears to listen to the evidence the Heavenly Curtain was playing.

"Regardless, even by the shortest calculation, from conceiving Tang San to giving birth, Ah Yin went at least two and a half years without being discovered by Martial Soul Hall."

"Undiscovered for that long, only to be found right after giving birth to Tang San, just when Tang Hao happened to be missing his ninth soul ring."

"What exactly is the reason for this? It's really so hard to guess!"
