Exposing the Truth

Little Durin and Scaramouche arrived at Sea God Island, both of them observing the environment of the island.

At this moment, Little Durin flew toward the sea surface, and simultaneously, a Demon Soul Great White Shark leaped out of the water.

"Hello there!"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark transformed into her human form, watching Little Durin with vigilance.

"What do you want?"

Xiao Bai did not recognize Little Durin, but she certainly recognized Scaramouche!

How could she not be afraid of this guy who could pin a god to the ground and rub them into the dirt?

Scaramouche descended from the air, glanced at Xiao Bai, and didn't pay her much mind.

"Scaramouche, am I being disliked?"

"No, she's just startled."

"Startled? Am I that scary?"

"She's startled by me. Someone is coming; finish the task the Grand Sage entrusted to us first, then I'll take you to play."

"Mm!"

Bo Saixi arrived with the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians of Sea God Island, and she offered a formal salute.

"Lord Scaramouche, may I ask what brings you to Sea God Island?"

"By the order of the Lesser Lord Kusanali and the Grand Sage, we have come to discuss the establishment of an Akademiya Branch on Sea God Island."

"This..."

Bo Saixi was naturally unwilling in her heart, but she dared not refuse outright; after all, the Scaramouche before her was a genuine god.

The Sky Screen continued to update with new imagery, flashing through the experiences of Tang Chen after he left Sea God Island.

After leaving Sea God Island, Tang Chen went to Slaughter City in search of a divine inheritance. Hard work pays off, and he successfully found the inheritance of the Asura God, gaining the god's recognition and receiving the Nine Trials of Asura.

Just as Tang Chen was completing his eighth trial, an accident occurred. He was sabotaged by the Rakshasa God, and eventually, his body was parasitized by the Rakshasa God's pet, the Blood Red Nine-headed Bat King, turning him into the King of Slaughter of Slaughter City.

This fact left many people in shock.

"Tang Chen actually found a divine inheritance! It's a pity the goddess of luck wouldn't stand by his side forever; in the end, he fell just short of success."

Qian Daoliu's mood was quite complex at this moment, feeling both pity and a secret sense of joy.

Tang Hao was full of astonishment. He had met the King of Slaughter in Slaughter City, but he had never imagined that the King of Slaughter was actually his own grandfather, Tang Chen.

Slaughter City, the King of Slaughter, the Blood Red Nine-headed Bat King... can I save my grandfather? If I save him, no one will be able to stop me and Little San from returning to the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Hao thought this to himself, forgetting his original purpose, and had already begun running toward Slaughter City.

Indeed, in Tang Hao's eyes, neither his wife nor his son was as important as the Clear Sky Sect.

Bo Saixi, meanwhile, looked at the encounter of Tang Chen on the Sky Screen with a sorrowful expression.

"You... why were you so foolish..."

Little Durin frowned and said, "Scaramouche, that place gives me a very evil feeling, much like the Abyss."

"It's far from being comparable to the Abyss. The power of the Abyss could easily submerge this entire world."

When Scaramouche was a Fatui Harbinger, he had long experience fighting against the Abyss, so he was very clear about its terror.

Scaramouche turned his gaze back to Bo Saixi, having no intention of making things difficult for her.

"If you cannot make the decision on this matter, then please ask the Sea God you serve to come out and talk. Heh, the Sea God... I wonder if he can compare to that girl who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with gods while possessing a mortal body."

Scaramouche had heard of the events in Fontaine, and he held respect for Furina.

Regarding Scaramouche's contempt for the Sea God, Bo Saixi was displeased, but she dared not show it.

"Lord Scaramouche, please wait a moment; I will attempt to contact Lord Sea God."

Bo Saixi was not sure if her prayers would receive a response. Usually, it was the Sea God who issued oracles to her; her own prayers rarely received a reply.

"Please, go ahead!"

Scaramouche didn't take the Sea God to heart; even without the Shouki no Kami, he could pin the Sea God to the ground and rub him into the dirt.

While Bo Saixi prayed to the Sea God, the Sky Screen continued to update, though the protagonists of the images shifted from Tang Chen to the two brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.

At the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao saw the images displayed on the Sky Screen and couldn't help but whisper that name.

"Ah Yin!"

What the Sky Screen displayed was the scene where Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Ah Yin first met.

The images flashed rapidly, skipping over their adventures and freezing on the moment Ah Yin revealed to the two brothers that she was a Human-Form Soul Beast.

As Ah Yin revealed her identity, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao both confessed their feelings to her simultaneously. In the end, Ah Yin chose Tang Hao, and Tang Xiao left his blessings before departing to return to the Clear Sky Sect.

The images exposed by the Sky Screen were incomprehensible to the soul masters of the Douluo Continent, much like how one could not understand a mouse falling in love with a cat.

The five elders of the Clear Sky Sect now stood before Tang Xiao, demanding an explanation.

Tang Xiao chose silence; he didn't feel there was anything to explain. These elders were merely seizing the opportunity to make trouble, wanting nothing more than to seize power.

Immediately following this, the Sky Screen shifted, rapidly flashing through scenes of Tang Hao and Ah Yin pledging their lives to one another, Ah Yin's pregnancy, the discovery of her identity, and the two of them being hunted by Martial Soul Hall.

Finally, shortly after Tang San was born, Ah Yin sacrificed herself for Tang Hao, cementing his reputation as the youngest Title Douluo in history.

The moment Tang Hao became a Title Douluo, he unleashed his full power, using Ring Detonation and the Great Sumeru Hammer to severely wound Qian Xunji.

Seeing the scene on the Sky Screen where Qian Xunji was brutally struck down by Tang Hao, Qian Renxue could not help but clench her fists.

"Nahida, do you find this strange?"

"Mm, there are many irrational aspects to this entire event. It is highly unreasonable for a husband to drag his pregnant wife on the run, especially when he is fully aware that she is a Human-Form Soul Beast."

"I wonder if this Sky Screen will reveal the truth behind the whole affair; I am quite curious."

Tang Hao, currently on his way to Slaughter City, came to a sudden halt. His expression was incredibly complex, and in the end, he slumped down and pulled out his wine pouch to drink heavily.

The Sky Screen image jumped, and two large characters appeared.

[Truth]

The image displayed a letter; the content stated a desire to meet the daughter-in-law, but requested that she not be informed. The signature was Tang Wei, and this Tang Wei was, naturally, Tang Hao's father.

It was while Tang Hao was taking Ah Yin to meet Tang Wei that her identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was discovered, leading to the pursuit.

Afterward, Tang Hao took Ah Yin into hiding, yet they were always found by the people of Martial Soul Hall.

During their time in hiding, Tang Hao had maintained constant contact with the Clear Sky Sect, a fact of which Tang Hao himself was well aware.

It could be concluded that their hiding spots were leaked by the Clear Sky Sect.

The goal was to force Tang Hao to bring Ah Yin, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Human-Form Soul Beast, back to the Clear Sky Sect. Once back at the sect, Ah Yin would be the property of the Clear Sky Sect rather than Tang Hao's wife.
