I Won't Spare Anyone Who Hurt My Mother!

Sorry for the trouble—it's the end of the month, so please toss me some votes! Any kind will do!!!

"Alas, what a foolish child."

Jiang Li looked at Tang San kneeling on the ground and sighed helplessly.

But in truth, he was overjoyed.

The corners of his mouth were so close to curling up that he could barely keep them in check.

He had guided his dutiful disciple step by step toward discovering the truth. Then, with one final hint from him, the events of that year would form a perfect loop in Tang San's mind.

And by now, Tang San's subconscious had already formed a rough conjecture. He simply didn't want to think that way.

Only when people were at their most desperate could they show true devotion to the one who offered them hope.

Now that he had received the truth, lightly polished by Jiang Li, there was no doubt about it: the Clear Sky Sect, that evil sect, had a death wish!

And as long as Jiang Li wrote the rest of the story perfectly, Tang San would truly become one of his own, with no divided loyalties.

Once a teacher, forever a father!

Jiang Li declared that the days of being merely Master Jiang Li were over!

What lay ahead was Jiang Li, stepfather to Sea God Tang San, husband to Ah Yin, and father to Tang San, the current child of fortune!

Once Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, regained her hundred-thousand-year cultivation and transformed into human form, she'd be entirely renewed—and still every bit as alluring!

Heh heh heh heh heh heh—

Jiang Li composed his words, then slowly began, "Xiao San, your Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, came from the Clear Sky Sect, once known as the greatest sect under heaven. Your father is the current Clear Sky Douluo."

"When he and his elder brother, Tang Xiao, traveled across Douluo Continent, the world called them the Clear Sky Twin Stars. It was during those travels that they met your mother, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor who had only recently transformed into human form."

As Jiang Li spoke, Ah Yin's true form swayed in the breeze, as though recalling the happy memories of the three siblings traveling the continent together.

As for Tang San, he listened to every word Jiang Li said with furrowed brows, afraid he might miss even the smallest detail.

Jiang Li's voice continued, "As your mother traveled the continent with your father and uncle, both of them inevitably fell in love with her. In the end, your uncle chose to withdraw from the relationship and let your parents be together."

At that, Jiang Li sighed, his expression turning sorrowful and compassionate.

"Everything should have ended happily there, but your mother's identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast was eventually exposed."

"At the time, your father and uncle had both become Soul Douluo. They each chose to tell their sect about your mother's identity."

"You have to understand, your father was the most gifted disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. If he obtained a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, the Clear Sky Sect could truly rise to prominence."

"So the former sect master of the Clear Sky Sect—your grandfather—decided to reveal your mother's identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast to Qian Xunji, the Pope of Spirit Hall at the time. He was gambling. Your mother was already carrying you, and he was betting that she would choose to give you the chance to live."

The atmosphere turned grave in an instant. Tang San stood frozen in place.

He had never imagined there could be so many twists and turns behind his mother's sacrifice for his father.

Even less had he imagined that the Clear Sky Sect, reputed to be the greatest sect under heaven, would do something so evil!

They truly had a death wish!

Beside him, Ah Yin stopped swaying. Her whole body of grass felt wrong...

She wanted to tell Jiang Li that things hadn't happened that way. Perhaps it was just...

"B-but, Master, how could my father have agreed?"

Tang San was utterly baffled. For the six years he had known him, his father, Tang Hao, had always been despondent, as though he truly missed Tang San's mother.

"Alas, Xiao San, your father loved his sect more than he loved your mother."

"I knew that when your pregnant mother was hunted by Spirit Hall, your father didn't take her back to the Blue Silver Forest. Instead, he brought her to travel through various cities. It was only then that Spirit Hall confirmed your mother's whereabouts."

"I think Old Poison has heard about this too. You can ask him to verify it later."

"And I'm sure your mother must have told him that only one Blue Silver Emperor should appear in the Blue Silver Grass Clan in any given era."

"When you awakened your Martial Soul, wasn't the first thing you showed your father the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?"

"Think about it..."

Jiang Li stopped there, leaving the rest for Tang San to imagine on his own.

Boom—

Tang San felt as if a thunderclap had exploded inside his head!

With Jiang Li's hint, everything suddenly fell into place.

Tang San quickly recalled the coldness in Tang Hao's eyes when he first showed him his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and the delight in his eyes when Tang San revealed his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

Damn it!

A little black hammer appeared in his hand, summoned by his Martial Soul.

All that remained in Tang San's eyes was icy coldness.

He wasn't stupid. Just as his master had said, why hadn't Tang Hao taken his mother to the Blue Silver Forest while she was carrying him? Why had he instead wandered around the continent with her?

Wasn't it to let the people of Spirit Hall detect the aura of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast?

First, he'd agreed to let his sect scheme against his own mother. Then, he'd actively carried out that evil plan!

In the end, just to cultivate a more talented disciple for the Clear Sky Sect, he'd left his own mother in a place like this to fend for herself!

They had a death wish!

Every one of those born-evil people from the Clear Sky Sect had a death wish!

The meager bond between Tang San and Tang Hao was severed in an instant. Tang San had already felt the fatherly love he craved from Jiang Li. At most, Tang Hao was only his biological father.

As for his own situation, he knew it all too well.

In the myths and legends of his previous life, there was a special term for this kind of thing: body-snatching...

Tang Hao, Tang Hao. I called you Father for six years, and it never crossed my mind that you were such a sanctimonious, evil man!

I, Tang San, swear this day that once I have mastered my cultivation, I will use the Clear Sky Hammer in my hand to uproot the evil Clear Sky Sect!

Tang San walked to Ah Yin, his face icy. He gently stroked her leaves. "Mother, don't worry. I'll bring you back to life."

"I won't spare a single person who hurt you!"
