"All tragedies began because of you. As for whether Young Master Chen Fan is right or wrong, I won't comment for now, but he was able to bring the Clear Sky Sect out of hiding and help it develop."
"Unlike now, when it can only hide away like vermin barely clinging to life. Everything is because you killed Qian Xunji and provoked the Spirit Hall's full-force retaliation!"
Tang Yuehua said many things in succession. They were all matters she had kept hidden in her heart.
Before, when she had not let go of those feelings and still harbored hopes for their relationship, she had always assumed Tang Hao had his reasons. But now, she had completely calmed down.
Although Chen Fan's influence had played a part, it had ultimately only served as guidance.
It had allowed her to sever herself from the past completely and become her own person again.
Listening to Tang Yuehua's cold, merciless words, Tang Hao fell silent.
He felt his heart shatter at that moment.
A mouthful of bright-red blood sprayed out.
Qian Renxue listened to everything from the shadows. Although she knew Tang Hao had caused her father's death, he was not the true culprit.
That culprit was her mother, Bibi Dong.
Tang Hao had merely severely injured Qian Xunji. After Bibi Dong killed Qian Xunji, she announced to the outside world that Tang Hao had done it.
At that time, Bibi Dong had bared her fangs and already possessed a certain amount of power.
Her Twin Martial Souls, which she had concealed for many years, were also revealed.
Afterward, Qian Daoliu had no choice but to compromise, because the Spirit Hall could not go a single day without a Pope.
As for him being the adjudicating elder, he had long since been unable to interfere in the Spirit Hall's affairs. That was a rule left behind by the ancestors.
Afterward, the Clear Sky Sect was forced into sealing off the mountain by the Spirit Hall's retaliation. No one was truly right or wrong in all this.
They simply stood on different sides.
Tang Hao had gone around flaunting a conspicuous Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Even if Qian Xunji had not acted, the other forces would have chosen to intervene.
That was the relationship between humans and Soul Beasts.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood from his heart, Tang Hao fainted on the spot.
On the other side, Tang San was completely dumbfounded.
Although he felt his aunt had a point, he would definitely stand on his father's side no matter what.
"How do you want to deal with them?" Tang Yuehua turned to Chen Fan and asked softly.
"Do you want them dead or alive?" Chen Fan countered, tossing the question back to Tang Yuehua.
"Alive. No matter what, he's still my brother. The Clear Sky Sect should decide how to judge his crimes. As for his child, I feel he doesn't deserve death." Tang Yuehua spoke thus.
Chen Fan agreed and planned to leave the matter to the Clear Sky Sect.
Whether they ultimately crippled Tang Hao and Tang San was none of his concern.
Tang Hao was already crippled anyway.
His Martial Soul had been thoroughly eroded by darkness.
It had changed from a Wooden Hammer into an Inflatable Hammer.
It could no longer unleash even the slightest bit of power.
Afterward, Chen Fan and Tang Yuehua left. As for Tang Hao and Tang San, Chen Fan untied them and allowed them to move freely.
Tang Hao had now lost his right arm and left leg.
The Clear Sky Sect's inherited Spirit Bones were embedded in those two limbs.
After removing them, Chen Fan used Darkness Power to help stop the bleeding. It had some effect.
Tang Hao had also been influenced without realizing it. This had made him extremely anxious, to the point that he did not even care whether Tang Yuehua lived or died.
His earlier intention had been to ensure that Tang Yuehua could not reveal the Clear Sky Sect's location even if she died.
He had even tried to morally blackmail Tang Yuehua. If she had been her former self, she would definitely have been affected by Tang Hao's arguments, but she had already been guided by darkness.
She no longer showed Tang Hao the same unconditional tolerance as before.
"That was quite a show. I didn't expect you to be so formidable, Young Master Chen." Tang Yuehua had temporarily gone to rest in her room, and Xue Qinghe emerged, clapping repeatedly as she spoke.
Chen Fan glanced at her and reached out to grab her.
Xue Qinghe's body immediately tensed. She felt that something was off about Chen Fan's state.
"You sound so effeminate. Stop pretending." Chen Fan glanced at Xue Qinghe and reached out to poke her chest.
It was not as soft as he had imagined.
This action made Qian Renxue bristle. She quickly moved away from Chen Fan.
Then she stared at him in astonishment, her face clearly saying, I don't understand.
"Young Master Chen, although I admire you, my orientation is normal," Qian Renxue said.
"Besides, I'm being elegant, not effeminate."
Chen Fan nodded, thoroughly impressed by Qian Renxue's transformation technique.
He had personally felt it, and the result had actually been like this.
"I've already seen through you. You don't need to keep pretending."
A trace of awkwardness appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
However, she definitely did not believe Chen Fan's claim.
"Young Master Chen, stop joking around. Let's discuss serious matters first."
Qian Renxue wanted to know Chen Fan's plans for what came next.
Was he really planning to go to the Clear Sky Sect alone?
Chen Fan nodded, indicating that there was no need to rush to the Clear Sky Sect. They could wait a few days before discussing it.
The reason for waiting a few days was to await the evolution of the Darkness Emperor.
He first needed to complete the second mission before the third mission would be unlocked.
The Darkness Emperor was currently undergoing frenzied evolution in Sunset Forest.
If Chen Fan remembered correctly, this cheat-filled forest concealed Shrek's cheat as well.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well found by the hapless Dugu Bo, along with the immortal herbs he had cultivated over many years.
"Aren't you going to report what happened here?" Qian Renxue looked at Chen Fan and asked.
"What, you want to report it?" Chen Fan glanced at her, his tone turning somewhat hostile.
Seeing Chen Fan change expressions, Qian Renxue merely laughed awkwardly.
This man really was extremely dangerous.
However, even if she wanted to report it, she had no idea how.
After all, Tang Yuehua was currently in Chen Fan's hands, and this matter was not her responsibility. It was better not to meddle in other people's business.
After a brief exchange, Qian Renxue left. She said she would not get involved in the matter, but still gave Chen Fan a reminder and mentioned Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect.
Chen Fan knew this was both her concern and the Spirit Hall's concern.
When the Spirit Hall had retaliated against the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen had not appeared. This made them suspect that Tang Chen might already be dead, but it was only a suspicion.
Qian Daoliu, who had been evenly matched with Tang Chen, was still alive. How could Tang Chen possibly have died?
Chen Fan knew that Tang Chen had become the King of Slaughter. With his mind in disarray, he could not really be considered a threat.
Afterward, Chen Fan learned the hidden location of the Clear Sky Sect from Tang Yuehua.
It was still some distance from here.
Moreover, the Clear Sky Sect occupied terrain to its advantage. Bringing a large group of people there would only put the Spirit Hall at a disadvantage.
Even if Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo led the team, they might not be able to inflict any substantial damage on the Clear Sky Sect.
Bibi Dong was busy with the Rakshasa God Position and naturally had no time to deal with this.
Only two days had passed since he arrived in Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Yet the Darkness Emperor's strength had already increased to a terrifying degree.
Its cultivation had currently reached the ten-thousand-year level.
Chen Fan wanted to raise it to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast before having it sacrifice itself, then use Darkness Power to revive it.
That way, he could indeed create an infinite cycle, allowing him to obtain a Third Soul Ring, Fourth Soul Ring, and so on.
Alternatively, he could raise it to a million years before harvesting it. That was also possible.
Of course, re-forming a physical body was not so easy.
Chen Fan's Darkness Power could only protect the soul from destruction.
Xiao Wu could recover through evolution.
