Our Clear Sky Sect Was Framed by Bibi Dong

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

Staring at the figure bathing in dazzling sunlight on the Sky Screen, slowly fading from view, Qian Renxue stood there in a daze.

Just then, as if some seal had been lifted, fragments of memory appeared in her mind.

It was in Spirit City, beneath the setting sun, by a street stall. She had handed a piece of pastry to the young man before her.

This...

Qian Renxue's eyes flew wide open.

This scene...

Her pupils contracted as she stared fixedly at the sky.

This scene had appeared on the Sky Screen earlier. How had this image suddenly appeared in her mind too? And it wasn't from the perspective of an observer—it was a scene she had truly experienced. Could it be...

Was it true? Had all of this really happened, and she had simply forgotten?

The Sun God Trial?

Had a god's power sealed her memories, erasing every trace of... Yuan Qi's existence in this world?

He and her...

Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly. Just then, other scenes appeared on the Sky Screen.

Her spirits lifted, and she continued watching.

[Five years later.

A line of text appeared on the Sky Screen.

Then, a vast forest came into view.

A young man in a fitted gold outfit, with short black hair and a mole beneath his right eye, walked through the forest with a long spear strapped to his back.

Just then, a sound came from a short distance ahead.

The young man paid it no mind and kept walking.

Before long, someone dragging the corpse of a Soul Beast appeared, walking straight toward him.

The newcomer wore white. His brows were straight, his gaze calm, as though deep pools had swallowed all the light of the sky. His nose was shapely, and his thin lips were pressed together. He looked under twenty, yet carried himself with remarkable composure, giving off an utterly dependable air.]

"H-he's not..." Someone beneath the Sky Screen recognized him.

"Xue Hen!" At Shrek Academy, Tang San solemnly spoke the name of the man dragging the Soul Beast's corpse.

As someone who had appeared on the Sky Screen before Tang San and, like him, possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, Xue Hen had drawn an extraordinary amount of Tang San's attention!

He hadn't expected Xue Hen to have met that Yuan Qi before. Would the two of them end up fighting?

[Xue Hen dragged the Soul Beast's corpse onward.

Yuan Qi walked too, his gaze fixed ahead, his expression utterly unmoved.

The two passed shoulder to shoulder.

After each had taken a few more steps, Xue Hen, clad in white, suddenly stopped. Without turning around, he asked Yuan Qi, his back still to him, "Hey, you're not a mortal, are you?"

Yuan Qi stopped as well. Still facing away from Xue Hen, he replied, "What, can only mortals appear on this continent?"

"Not exactly." Xue Hen fell silent for a moment, then answered flatly.

Then he continued on.

Yuan Qi set off at almost the same moment. The two walked on in opposite directions, growing farther and farther apart.

Hummm~

The scene stopped there, and a low hum rang out.

Right after, a vast voice came from the sky.

"I am the Sky Screen. I reveal the past and foretell the future.

"I previously revealed the talents of Xue Hen and Tang San. Today, I reveal the existence of Yuan Qi.

"Knowing the future means the future can be changed.

"Everything rests in your hands..."]

As the vast voice faded, the image on the Sky Screen slowly disappeared, and the sky gradually returned to its blue hue. Sunlight shone down on the land once more.

But this time, as the sunlight fell upon everyone, a title surfaced in their minds: Sun God!

That Yuan Qi had been treated with such deference by the former Pope of Spirit Hall, who had even said the Pope's Palace was less grand than Yuan Qi's hometown. Yuan Qi had also mentioned the "mortal realm."

And when Xue Hen met him, he had said Yuan Qi wasn't a mortal.

He wasn't a mortal, and he was taking the Sun God Trial. It wasn't hard to guess who he was.

"Gasp!" Across the continent, Soul Masters who had guessed Yuan Qi's possible identity couldn't help drawing in sharp breaths.

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

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

"God Clan! That young man called Yuan Qi is definitely descended from gods, and not from a distant generation, either. He's either a god's son or grandson! That's why that madman Qian Xunji treated him with such respect. Investigate! Hurry and find out where Yuan Qi is now. Doesn't he like girls like Qian Renxue? Bring him to Heaven Dou City. He can have his pick of the girls in my Heaven Dou Empire!" Xue Ye gripped the scepter in his hand and shouted at his ministers.

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

Still, none of them felt confident about it. They hadn't even been able to find Xue Hen or Tang San, who had appeared on the Sky Screen earlier. How could they possibly find someone who was clearly even more powerful?

Your Majesty, you're thinking too simply.

Clear Sky Sect.

"That Yuan Qi definitely isn't human. He's of the God Clan!"

Tang Xiao immediately concluded what Yuan Qi was. Then he drew a deep breath and said, eyes blazing with anger, "And there's Qian Xunji's death. Back then, everyone said he died from the grievous wounds Brother Hao inflicted on him. But from what we saw on the Sky Screen, I'm afraid it wasn't that simple. After Qian Renxue heard that Qian Xunji was dead, she went looking for him. Why didn't she find his corpse, but instead found Bibi Dong in a state of Martial Soul Possession? Why did Bibi Dong try to kill Qian Xunji's daughter? There are too many questions here."

The Second Elder walked over as well. With his hands clasped behind his back and his body stooped, he said sharply, "After Qian Xunji died, Bibi Dong took the position of Pope. If we follow the logic that those who benefit are the most suspicious, then Qian Xunji may well have died not from the injuries Tang Hao inflicted, but at the hands of Bibi Dong's Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor!"

"Hmph! That damned Bibi Dong! She dared to murder her own teacher and pin the blame on our Clear Sky Sect!" Tang Xiao snorted, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked.

"I'll flay her alive, tear her limb from limb, and leave her in pieces!"

"Don't jump to conclusions yet. There's another problem here. Earlier, someone on the Sky Screen asked Yuan Qi why he hadn't saved Qian Xunji. Yuan Qi replied by asking why Qian Daoliu hadn't saved him either. What did that mean? It sounded as though Qian Daoliu could have saved Qian Xunji, but chose not to. Qian Daoliu was Qian Xunji's father. Why wouldn't he save his own son? And if he knew Bibi Dong had killed Qian Xunji, why would he support her taking the position of Pope? This... doesn't make sense."

As he spoke, the Second Elder shook his head. Many of the scenes on the Sky Screen had jumped around and lacked continuity, leaving him with a head full of questions he couldn't make sense of.

Hearing the Second Elder's words, Tang Xiao furrowed his brow. After a moment of silence, he said, "Forget all that for now. First, announce publicly that our Clear Sky Sect was framed by Bibi Dong. Brother Hao wasn't the one who killed Qian Xunji. The true culprit was that shameless woman. Whatever the truth is, Bibi Dong is the Pope of Spirit Hall. We can say whatever we like about her!"
