The Family's Past and the Murderers of His Parents (Part 2)

But when his father was in his teens, just as they were preparing to make his grandfather the king of the fifth kingdom under the Heaven Dou Empire, the previous emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire fell gravely ill from overwork and soon passed away. Since the old emperor had not named a crown prince before his death, a struggle for the throne broke out among the imperial princes.

Xue Ye, who had originally held the greatest advantage, feared that his own paternal aunt—Yun Duo's grandmother, who commanded the Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army—might step forward to support another prince. So he came up with a plan to lure her away from Heaven Dou City.

Worried about the safety of the empire, Yun Duo's grandmother naturally harbored no suspicion and led her troops there. At the same time, Yun Duo's grandfather had reached the most critical stage of breaking through to become a Titled Douluo, so he did not accompany her.

Then the fucked-up part happened. The place had merely been made up to lure Yun Duo's grandmother away from Heaven Dou City, yet she actually encountered the previous old emperor of the Star Luo Empire—Dai Mubai's biological grandfather. He was likewise a remarkably gifted soul master. In his forties, he was already an eighty-eighth-level Soul Douluo and the Star Luo emperor most likely to break through to Titled Douluo.

Even worse, there was a young woman beside the old Star Luo emperor. She was the biological daughter of the Clear Sky Sect's Second Elder, a seventy-first-level Soul Sage who possessed the Clear Sky Hammer.

After making some inquiries, they learned that after Tang Chen, the pillar of the Clear Sky Sect, had disappeared, the sect had intended to form a marriage alliance with the Star Luo Empire. The chosen pair had been the old emperor of the Star Luo Empire and the Second Elder's daughter.

Naturally, Yun Duo's grandmother had not been willing to stand by and watch such a thing happen. So she directly led her army into battle against the old Star Luo emperor and the Clear Sky Sect Second Elder's daughter.

It was practically a case of taking their lives while they had no one else at their side to protect them.

During that battle, people from the Clear Sky Sect and troops from the Star Luo Empire discovered what was happening and came to reinforce them. Yun Duo's grandmother, however, paid with her life and took everyone on the other side down with her.

In the end, Ge Long, who had served as her personal guard, cleaned up the aftermath. After cutting off the Star Luo emperor's head, he returned to the Heaven Dou Empire with Yun Duo's grandmother's body.

Meanwhile, Xue Ye had successfully ascended the supreme throne and become emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. As for the other princes who had fought him for the throne, he naturally used underhanded means to eliminate them completely, leaving only his full-blooded younger brother, Prince Xue Xing.

After Yun Duo's grandfather successfully broke through to Titled Douluo and obtained his soul ring, he learned of Yun Duo's grandmother's death. Once he understood the whole story, he beat up Xue Ye, who had already become emperor.

The two sides then fell out completely. After bringing Yun Duo's grandmother's body back to Skywater City for burial, he no longer involved himself in the grudges of the Heaven Dou Empire. Naturally, that included moving his father and the old soldiers willing to follow them all to Skywater City to settle down.

Likewise, because Ge Long had received Yun Duo's grandfather's support, all the credit for this incident was given to him. Ge Long rose steadily through the ranks because of it. After breaking through to Soul Douluo, he was granted a marriage by that old bastard Xue Ye. After marrying a princess of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Xue Family, he became grand marshal, just like Yun Duo's grandmother, commanding the Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army.

"Holy shit, the grandmother I never met was that fierce? Then according to what you said, old man, were Dai Tian, the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire, and the Clear Sky Sect's Second Elder responsible for my parents' deaths?"

After hearing about the grudges and conflicts from his grandfather and grandmother's generation, Yun Duo was astonished. He had never expected the gentle and beautiful grandmother his grandfather described to be so formidable.

There were not many female soul masters on the entire Douluo Continent who could reach Soul Douluo level or above. Much less someone like his grandmother, who had commanded the Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army as grand marshal.

If his grandmother had not fallen midway through her life, then with Innate Full Soul Power and the support of the entire Heaven Dou Empire, she could absolutely have become a Titled Douluo.

"Wow, I never thought Brother Yun Duo's grandmother would have such a legendary past. She's practically my idol."

"Yeah, I never expected Yun Duo's grandmother to be not only a Soul Douluo, but also a grand marshal commanding the Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army across the battlefield. She was truly a heroine among women."

"Although we can't be one hundred percent certain, this old man believes it's probably right."

While Yun Duo was still in shock, Shui Yue'er and Dugu Yan beside him sighed in admiration. Ye Lingling and Shui Bing'er, meanwhile, wore looks of deep respect, but because their personalities were relatively reserved, they did not voice their thoughts like Shui Yue'er and Dugu Yan.

Likewise, upon hearing Yun Duo's question about the murderers of his parents, Dugu Bo gave his own judgment. After all, what else could that giant iron hammer falling from the sky have been, other than the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer?

"Heh, the current Star Luo emperor Dai Tian and the Clear Sky Sect's Second Elder? Although I had already decided to wipe out the entire Dai Family of the Star Luo imperial family and the Clear Sky Sect to avenge my parents, having a clear target is still a good thing."

"What are you thinking, kid? Don't go doing anything stupid right now. With your incredible talent and the Divine Spirit Inheritance you've obtained, you can wait until you've grown stronger before taking revenge."

"Little Yun Duo, Poison Douluo is right. Revenge isn't something you can rush. All the generals and soldiers in Skywater City combined only number one hundred thousand. Right now, we can't possibly defeat the Star Luo Empire's million troops. While you're growing stronger, we can use this time to increase Skywater City's military strength. Once we get the chance in the future, we'll march out and strike straight at the heart of their territory."

Seeing Yun Duo seemingly lost in thought, Dugu Bo gave him a warning. Shui Yunxi also spoke to comfort him. The two of them truly feared that once Yun Duo learned the real cause of his parents' deaths, he would act on impulse and directly take on the Star Luo Empire and the Clear Sky Sect.

"Yun Duo!~X2"

"Brother Yun Duo!~X2"

"Sister Yanzi, Sister Lingling, Little Yue'er, Little Bing'er. Don't worry, I'm fine. Besides, a gentleman's revenge can wait ten years."

"Just as Aunt Yunxi and the old man said, I can wait until I've grown stronger before seeking revenge against the Star Luo Empire and the Clear Sky Sect. We can also use this time to increase the number and strength of Skywater City's troops."

Seeing Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shui Yue'er, and Shui Bing'er holding his hands out of concern for him, Yun Duo felt a warmth rise in his heart.
