Victory Isn't Always Won in the Arena-You Can Defeat Your Enemies Outside It, Too
Seeing Qian Renxue's response, Yin Hongye asked, "Then tell us about Hu Liena."
Qian Renxue paused for a moment, coughed lightly, and said, "She was a Spirit Hall Golden Generation, and because she obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain, she was named the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall by Bibi Dong."
"Is that all you know?" Yin Hongye pressed on.
"That's all?" Qian Renxue regretted her comment; this person didn't treat her like a human being at all.
Mu Hongchen then said directly, "I'll explain it; you don't even study history properly."
"To put it simply, historical evaluations say she's exactly the same as her ungrateful teacher, Bibi Dong —a traitor who betrays his own people."
"That's why they became master and apprentice; Mutual Admiration, and like attracts like."
Hearing this, Hu Liena, who was outside the Heavenly Screen, was stunned. She was surprised that she was described this way in history, but why was she said to be the same as her teacher?
Yan pointed indignantly at the Heavenly Screen: "This must be a frame-up, slander. Nana is not that kind of person."
I have to say, she's really love-struck.
Yin Hongye added with a smile, "According to the historical records in the Sea God Pavilion, she was on the verge of death on the Path of Slaughter in the Slaughter City. If Tang San hadn't intervened to save her, she wouldn't have even passed the first trial, let alone obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain."
"To put it nicely, she and Tang San cooperated to obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain; to put it bluntly, Tang San basically took the lion's share of the credit."
He did not deny Hu Liena's efforts, but had to admit that Tang San deserved the lion's share of the credit.
"That's right, that's right. The position of Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall was given to her by her teacher Bibi Dong. Her talent and strength are decent among the Golden Generation, but they're far from enough to qualify her for being promoted to Holy Maiden. She doesn't even have Innate Full Soul Power."
Mu Hongchen thought about the Innate Full Soul Power from Twenty Thousand Years Ago. Although it was rare, it certainly wasn't nonexistent.
"A typical case of nepotism; I don't rely on my family for a living."
"Exactly, those wicked cronies." Yin Hongye nodded.
"I remember the Holy Maiden was supposed to inherit the Pope's position, right? Is a fox whose main ability is charm suitable? She doesn't even qualify as a top genius, she doesn't even have Innate Full Soul Power," Mu Hongchen continued.
"I'd be more suited to Pope than that thing. Respect me as you would a god!" Yin Hongye still held this view. "If I'm the spokesperson for God, then aren't I a god myself?"
If someone disrespects me, then they must be disrespecting God.
Who knows what they might say about God behind his back!
The oracle told me that I must destroy him!
Upon hearing this, Mu Hongchen suddenly changed the subject, "If you want to become Pope, the Spirit Hall will have to change its faith, won't it?"
"That's the package!" Yin Hongye nodded.
Hu Liena, standing outside the Heavenly Screen, heard these words and felt a pang of disappointment in her eyes. She had indeed relied heavily on Tang Yin and Tang San on the Hell Road.
But I've also walked the Hell Road myself.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong clenched her scepter, her Violet Eyes blazing with anger. "What's wrong with my disciple becoming a saintess! How is she unworthy! How is she a nepotism hire!"
Upon hearing this, the Asura God of the Divine Realm thought, "If Yin Hongye were to change her faith, she would definitely choose him. Those who walk the Killing Dao would certainly choose me."
It can't be Rakshasa, can it?
The Sea God looked at the Asura God's smile and felt a chill run down his spine, "Has the Asura God also reached menopause? This emotion is too strange."
"Let's see when Tang San arrives at Sea God Island. Even if we try to control the ocean currents a little, it won't be very effective. The Sea Soul Beast will still be able to catch up."
Within the Heavenly Screen, Yin Hongye laughed and said, "According to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of the universe increases over time, evolving from order to disorder, until finally all matter reaches thermal equilibrium."
"Since Destruction is inevitable in the end, then faith itself will be Destruction. Coincidentally, isn't there a God of Destruction among the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm recorded in the Sea God Pavilion?"
"That makes sense." Mu Hongchen thought so too. Although it was deduced from the transfer of heat to cold objects, theory is still just theory.
Upon hearing this answer, the Asura God was speechless. Something was wrong with his perfect inheritance; why was it the Destruction of that guy?
He left the Shura Temple and went straight to fight Destruction. Trying to steal his successor? No way.
Upon hearing this, Destruction nodded and said, "This kid has an eye for talent, but this deduction..."
He understood Yin Hongye's last sentence, but didn't grasp the reasoning behind it. However, the response from his Divine Position and instincts was actually correct.
In the Heavenly Screen, Qian Renxue continued, "What did Hu Liena do after that?"
"Well, how should I put it?" Mu Hongchen thought for a moment, "There was some kind of Soul Master Tournament about Twenty Thousand Years Ago. In that competition, she committed the sin of arrogance and showed mercy to her enemy. She was actually killed by Tang San using some Batwing Reincarnation."
Qian Renxue nodded; she knew about this and had witnessed Tang San's victory.
"I remember Hu Liena knew all along that the three Soul Bone were prepared for them, but even after obtaining Tang San's information, she still underestimated him and was extremely foolish. For someone like her to Pope in the future would be a disaster for the Spirit Hall; she is completely unworthy of the position of Holy Maiden. On the contrary, because she lost to Tang San, the Spirit Hall lost face in front of all the major powers, and even the three Soul Bone fell into the enemy's hands. Isn't that ridiculous?"
Yin Hongye didn't care about this at all. "If it were me, Tang San and the others would have been dead the moment they entered Spirit City. Sometimes, victory in a competition doesn't happen on the field; you can defeat your enemy outside of it."
"Exactly, any means are acceptable to ensure victory in the competition." Mu Hongchen didn't care about this; in their minds, any means were acceptable to achieve their goals.
If they're bad people, then let them be bad people openly and honestly.
It's as if those who appear to be good people are necessarily good people.
For example, Yun Ming directly created a spatial rift above Mingdu, all because of a woman...
"Isn't that a bit despicable!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue roughly understood Yin Hongye's intentions: wasn't this simply ordering Titled Douluo to kill Tang San?
Moreover, they were willing to disregard the consequences, even to the point of forcing Shrek Academy to withdraw from the competition. It has to be said, their methods were truly ruthless.
Mu Hongchen sneered, "Baseness is the passport of the base, nobility is the epitaph of the noble. Remember, everything is for profit."
"People can trample on everything for profit!" Yin Hongye said to Qian Renxue, "Compassion cannot lead an army, righteousness cannot accumulate wealth, kindness cannot make one an official, sentiment cannot establish affairs, and benevolence cannot enter politics."
"You shouldn't be unaware of this kind of thing."
Qian Renxue remained silent, listening quietly.
"Hu Liena is just like her teacher, a hopeless romantic. I remember that twice the Spirit Hall planned to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and both times it was because of her that things were ruined."
"The first time, in the Star Dou Forest, Hu Liena recognized Tang Yin and proactively vouched for Tang Yin reliability to Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo. She recommended Tang San to join the Spirit Hall's hunting team and revealed their objective: to capture the 100,000-year-old Xiao Wu. She also informed Tang San that their mission was to hunt powerful Soul Beast, thus completely leaking the Spirit Hall's mission plan and combat strength. She even missed a golden opportunity to kill Tang San."
Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were not surprised, because the incident had already occurred.
"The second time, the victory was also significant; Ghost Douluo died because of Hu Liena's betrayal."
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan was enraged, even more so than Gui Mei himself.
