Tang Chen Awakens, Secrets of the Past

"Moonlight Pavilion," Ye Hua's lips twitched as he covered Tang Chen's mouth, "The person before you really is your grandfather, Tang Chen."

"His refusal to return to the Clear Sky Sect back then was not due to heartlessness or treachery, but rather a calculated move within fate."

Ye Hua revealed the Slaughter City and stated directly that he needed her Essence Blood.

Hearing this, Tang Yuehua blinked.

Fragmented memories from the past few decades gradually flooded my mind.

"It seems..." Tang Yuehua murmured softly, "My father did mention it to me occasionally when I was a child."

"He said my grandparents were both unparalleled experts. I even complained at the time, asking why they didn't come back when the Spirit Hall was making things difficult for the sect."

As she finished speaking, a deep sense of powerlessness flashed across Tang Yuehua's eyes.

"But I am too weak, merely Soul Scholar, with meager Essence Blood."

"I'm afraid it won't be of any help to Grandfather at all."

Red Lady shook her head, "Cultivation level is never the only key factor."

"Essence Blood carries the bonds of bloodline and is the most powerful thing to Soul Awakening."

"We have to give it a try; there might still be a chance!"

Seeing that her grandmother, Red Lady, had nodded, Tang Yuehua did not hesitate either.

It took a great deal of effort, even with meager Soul Power, to force out the Essence Blood.

When Essence Blood leave the body, the fluctuation of Soul Power is weak and almost negligible.

Red Lady immediately raised her hand, her fingers flying, and her Soul Power slowly swirled around her.

Carefully enveloping the Essence Blood, it was guided into [Tang Chen]'s brow.

The next second, Tang Chen's blood surged!

"Aaaaaaah!"

"Roll!!!"

The Nine-Headed Bat King fought back fiercely.

With her body severely injured, Red Lady was already struggling to control her Essence Blood, and when faced with the counterattack, she was directly defeated!

"Behave yourself!" Ye Hua frowned.

The Nine-Headed Bat King ignored the order and tried to devour the Essence Blood.

Ye Hua didn't tolerate him either, unleashing a vast, ocean-like surge of spiritual power!

One swift move, and instant suppression!

Even if he is violent and Evil, he cannot move!

"You mere parasite, how dare you act so presumptuously." Ye Hua released his grip.

Red Lady seized the opportunity and used all her strength to guide her Essence Blood, finally hooking onto the tattered soul in the corner of her Sea of Consciousness.

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"

Tang Chen vomited black blood repeatedly.

After a few breaths, the bloodshot color in his violent eyes gradually faded, and the madness in them dissipated.

With a focused gaze, the first things that came into view were the middle-aged Red Lady and the still-beautiful Bo Saixi.

The sight of the two at the same time stunned Tang Chen, who had just escaped the nightmare.

His eyes were glazed over, his mind blank, and for a moment he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.

The deathly silence lasted only half a second!

Smack!

A crisp, resounding slap!

Bo Saixi's movements were swift, decisive, and powerful!

Tang Chen's head was turned to the side after being hit, and a clear five-finger mark appeared on his cheek.

He wasn't angry, only his eyes held endless bitterness.

"Xi Xi! Let me explain! It's not what you think!"

Bo Saixi stood with his hands behind his back, a faint, cold smile on his face. "Oh? Then tell me, I'm listening."

"After I left Sea God Island, I went to the Slaughter City training, but I was ambushed. It was Red Lady who saved me."

"So, you're going to accept her and leave me out?"

"No, no, no! This... this..."

Tang Chen's Adam's apple bobbed; on one side was the old friend he longed for day and night, and on the other was a woman with whom he had a real but unrequited relationship.

His expression was one of embarrassment and awkwardness, his face showing a dilemma!

"Let me speak," Red Lady said, taking over the conversation.

"Your Bo Saixi Poseidon, this matter is not Tang Chen's fault."

"Back then, I was in love with him, and my obsession ran too deep, so I used my Soul Skill to bewitch his mind."

"But it was that time, I..."

Red Lady looked at Tang Yuehua and said, "You have a child with him."

His tone was frank, and his eyes were clear.

Bo Saixi examined it closely and sighed.

I wasn't lying.

Tang Chen smiled bitterly, "In the end, it was I who let you down."

"I'll make you wait in vain on Sea God Island."

"Heh," Bo Saixi shook her head slightly, "You know that too."

"I've never dated anyone else in my entire life."

"So be it. Decades have passed, the world has changed, and things are no longer the same."

"It's too late to talk about right and wrong now, and to acknowledge the betrayals."

Tang Yuehua watched as several top figures recounted past emotional entanglements, barely daring to utter a sound, and sighed inwardly.

This is the legendary ancestor of the Clear Sky Sect and the Great Enshrined Sea God Island!

They are all figures who stand at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent!

Now, however, he is just like any ordinary person, entangled in love, hate, and grudges!

She carefully rose and poured tea for the group.

But unintentionally, Red Lady touched Tang Yuehua's wrist.

"Huh?" Red Lady's eyes widened.

Tang Yuehua was startled by her expression.

"You..." Red Lady hesitated, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Bo Saixi pressed for answers.

"Putting the past aside, you are exceptionally talented and have a strong will, so why did you fall to the Nine-Headed Bat King?"

When asked about this, Tang Chen's face immediately turned embarrassed.

"To save her." He turned to Red Lady.

"At that time, she relied on her strength to ascend to the Slaughter City and become the new Wood King."

"But the King of Slaughter is wary of it and has tricked us into going to the Northern Forest to investigate. The aura there is eerie, and this trip is likely to be fraught with danger!"

"We already had a child at the time, how could I just stand by and watch her die? So I risked my life to kill the former King of Slaughter!"

"But after the bloody battle, his Soul Power was exhausted and he was injured. When he went to the forest to rescue her, he ran into the Nine-Headed Bat King who was about to commit a crime."

"The other six kings have been killed, and I am powerless to resist them, so I have no choice but to make a deal with them."

"It spared Red Lady, and I let it parasitize me, even helping it become a god. Who would have thought it would rely on the remaining Shura Divine Power to seize my body!"

Having said that, the matter is quite clear.

Back then, Ye Hua and Hu Liena also went to the Northern Forest for investigation.

I once encountered six skeletons in the woods!

Those were the previous six kings, only the Wood King, Red Lady, survived!

"Later, you obtained that Shura Divine Power, didn't you?"

Tang Chen nodded to Ye Hua, "The aura on your body is not the Divine Slaughter's Domain."

Ye Hua didn't mince words, "Yes, it can be considered an evolution of the domain."

"How wonderful..." Tang Chen said with a complicated tone.

But the next second--

Puff!!!

Tang Chen's body trembled violently!

He suddenly bent over and coughed up foul-smelling blood!

His aura instantly weakened to the extreme!

Decades of parasitic erosion have finally erupted.

The meridians are damaged, and dense, dark cracks appear on the body surface.

Sisi of blood energy kept overflowing, and the body was on the verge of collapse.

Ye Hua and Bo Saixi looked at each other in bewilderment.

After checking them one by one, they all shook their heads.

It's too late to turn the tide!

Only a god can save him!

Tang Chen, however, felt relieved. "No need to waste my energy. I know my own body best."

"To be able to break free of my shackles and confess my past is already a blessing."

He looked up into the distance, his voice tinged with sorrow, "Bo Saixi, and Ye Hua, remember this!"

Never! Never! Believe in gods!

"If it weren't for the God Shura abandoning me, I wouldn't have been suppressed at all!"

These words shook Bo Saixi to his core.

Throughout her life, she revered the gods and upheld divine pronouncements.

He devoted his life's faith to the Sea God.

But both of her old friends warned her.

Tang Chen now...

Is this truly a lesson from the past?

Tang Chen gave her a deep look, then said nothing more.

Turning to look at Tang Yuehua, who looked anxious, she smiled gently and beckoned, "Child, come here."

"Grandfather has fallen to such a state today; he is now at the end of his rope."

"Before I leave, let me give you a surprise to make up for what I owe you."
