We of the Clear Sky Sect Were Framed by Bibi Dong

On the road from the Balaque Kingdom to Heaven Dou City.

Watching the figure bathed in dazzling sunlight on the Sky Screen, gradually becoming impossible to see clearly, Qian Renxue stood frozen in place.

At this moment, as if a seal had been broken, fragments of memory surfaced in her mind.

It was in Martial Soul City under the setting sun, in front of a small stall, where she handed a piece of pastry to the young man before her.

This...

Qian Renxue's eyes widened instantly.

This scene...

Her pupils constricted, her gaze locked onto the firmament.

This scene had been shown on the Sky Screen before; how could it suddenly appear in her own mind, and not from the perspective of an onlooker, but from the perspective of someone who had truly experienced it? Could it be...

Was it real? Had all of this truly happened, only she didn't remember it?

Sun God Trial?

Had the power of a god sealed her memories and erased the traces of Yuan Qi's existence in this world?

He and she...

Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly. Just then, the Sky Screen displayed new images.

She braced herself, continuing to watch.

[Five years later.

A line of text appeared on the Sky Screen.

Following that, a vast forest came into view.

A young man dressed in golden athletic wear, with short, jet-black hair and a tear mole at the corner of his right eye, walked through the woods with a long spear strapped to his back.

At this moment, a sound came from not far ahead of him.

The young man paid it no mind and continued walking.

Before long, a figure dragging the corpse of a soul beast appeared, heading toward him.

This person wore white robes, his brows straight and his eyes calm, like deep pools absorbing the light of the sky. His nose was elegant, his thin lips slightly pursed. He looked to be less than twenty years old, yet his entire demeanor was incredibly steady, giving off an aura of absolute reliability.]

"He, he is..." Beneath the Sky Screen, someone recognized this person.

"Xue Hen!" At Shrek Academy, Tang San spoke the name of the man dragging the soul beast corpse with a grave expression.

As someone who had appeared on the Sky Screen before him, possessing Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power just like himself, Tang San had paid him extraordinary attention!

He hadn't expected that he would have once met that Yuan Qi. He wondered if they would end up fighting later?

[Xue Hen dragged the soul beast corpse forward.

Yuan Qi did the same, his gaze fixed ahead, walking without the slightest fluctuation in his emotions.

The two passed each other by.

After each had taken a few more steps, the white-clad Xue Hen suddenly stopped. Without turning back, he asked with his back to Yuan Qi, "Hey, you aren't a mortal, are you?"

Yuan Qi also stopped, likewise not turning around, and replied with his back to Xue Hen, "Why, are only mortals allowed to appear on this continent?"

"Not exactly." Xue Hen was silent for a moment before speaking indifferently.

Immediately, he continued forward.

Yuan Qi began to walk at almost the same time. The two continued on their separate ways, the distance between them growing ever greater.

Hum~

The image stopped, and a humming sound resonated.

Following that, a vast voice descended from the firmament.

"I am the Sky Screen, peering through the past, knowing the future.

Previously, I revealed the aptitude of Xue Hen and Tang San; today, I reveal the existence of Yuan Qi.

Since the future is known, the future can be changed.

Everything lies in your own hands..."]

As this vast voice faded, the images on the Sky Screen slowly vanished. The firmament gradually returned to a deep blue, and sunlight once again bathed the earth.

Yet, this time, as the sunlight shone down, a title surfaced in the minds of everyone: Sun God!

That Yuan Qi—the former Pope of Martial Soul Hall had been so respectful to him, even saying the Pope's Palace was not as grand as his hometown, and Yuan Qi himself had mentioned terms like "mortal kingdoms."

Coupled with Xue Hen saying he was not a mortal when they met, it was no longer difficult to guess who he was.

"Hiss!" Suddenly, across the continent, soul masters who had guessed Yuan Qi's possible identity could not help but gasp in unison.

If it were true, then this person was truly a top-tier figure!

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

"God Clan, that youth named Yuan Qi is definitely a descendant of the gods, and only a few generations removed at that—he is either a god's child or a god's grandson! That is why that madman Qian Xunji was so respectful toward him. Investigate, hurry and investigate for Us! Where is Yuan Qi now? Doesn't he like girls of Qian Renxue's type? Invite him to Heaven Dou City; the girls of our Heaven Dou Empire are his to choose from!" Emperor Xue Ye gripped his scepter tightly and shouted at the ministers behind him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the ministers replied in unison.

However, no one felt confident about this matter. After all, they hadn't even managed to find Xue Hen and Tang San, who had appeared on the Sky Screen earlier; how could they possibly find this one, who was clearly even more formidable?

Your Majesty, you are thinking too simply.

Clear Sky Sect.

"That Yuan Qi is definitely not human; he is of the God Clan!"

Tang Xiao identified Yuan Qi's identity in one breath, then took a deep breath, his eyes filled with fury as he said, "And then there is the death of Qian Xunji. Back then, everyone said he died from the heavy injuries Brother Hao inflicted upon him, but looking at the Sky Screen, I fear it is not that simple. When Qian Renxue heard the news of Qian Xunji's death, she went to find him. Why did she not see his corpse, but instead saw Bibi Dong in a state of Martial Soul Possession? Why would Bibi Dong want to kill Qian Xunji's daughter? There are too many questions here."

The Second Elder walked over at this moment. With his hands behind his back and his body hunched, he said with sharp eyes, "After Qian Xunji died, Bibi Dong ascended to the position of Pope. Following the logic that the beneficiary is the prime suspect, it is highly probable that Qian Xunji did not die from the injuries caused by Tang Hao, but rather at the hands of Bibi Dong's Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor!"

"Hmph! That damned Bibi Dong, she dared to murder her mentor and then pinned the blame on our Clear Sky Sect!" Tang Xiao snorted coldly, his hands clenching into fists, causing his knuckles to crack.

"I will definitely flay her alive and tear her into ten thousand pieces!"

"Do not be so quick to jump to conclusions; there is another problem here. Earlier, a voice on the Sky Screen asked Yuan Qi why he didn't save Qian Xunji, and Yuan Qi countered by asking why Qian Daoliu didn't save him either. What does this mean? It sounds as if Qian Daoliu could have actually saved Qian Xunji, but chose not to. Qian Daoliu is Qian Xunji's father; why would he not save his own son? Furthermore, if he knew Qian Xunji was killed by Bibi Dong, why would he support her ascension to the position of Pope? This... it does not make sense."

As he spoke, the Second Elder shook his head. Many of the images on the Sky Screen were jumpy and lacked coherence, leaving him filled with questions he could not fathom.

Hearing the Second Elder's words, Tang Xiao furrowed his brows. After a moment of silence, he said, "Forget about that for now. First, announce to the outside world that our Clear Sky Sect was framed by Bibi Dong, and that the one who truly killed Qian Xunji was not Brother Hao, but that rebellious woman. Regardless of the truth, Bibi Dong is the Pope of Martial Soul Hall; no matter what we say about her, it is not excessive!"
