The culprit was actually not Spirit Hall!

In the Live Stream Room, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had originally rushed to answer the question Ah Yin was preparing to answer.

But he had answered incorrectly and received a punishment.

Many people were filled with shock, but they also felt somewhat relieved to have narrowly escaped disaster.

Although many of them felt that Spirit Hall being the culprit was too obvious an answer,

after thinking it over, they had still planned to give that answer.

After all, based on this Live Q&A, they truly could not find any other answer.

Perhaps the answer really was that simple, and this Live Q&A was deliberately trying to make them overthink it?

Many people clung to that sliver of hope.

But after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had tested the waters, it seemed they had been right after all.

The questions posed by this Prize-Winning Quiz Live Stream could not possibly have such simple answers.

But if the culprit was not Spirit Hall, then who was it?

Could another faction have deliberately stirred up conflict between Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect?

Was it the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, or the Star Luo Imperial Family?

Many people were hesitant, unsure which answer they should give.

If they answered incorrectly, the punishment would either be the loss of Soul Rings or the loss of several ranks of Soul Power. The losses from a wrong answer would be far too severe!

The culprit was actually not Spirit Hall?!

Elsewhere, after the Live Stream Room announced that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had answered incorrectly, Ah Yin's heart trembled violently.

She and her husband Tang Hao had been hunted by Spirit Hall's previous Pope, Qian Xunji. That had ultimately forced her to sacrifice herself to Tang Hao, creating the youngest Titled Douluo in the world.

She had always believed that Spirit Hall was the enemy her family held a blood feud against.

But judging by what this Live Stream Room was saying,

could it be that Spirit Hall had merely been used by someone, while the true culprit was someone else?

But who could it be?

Ah Yin fell into confusion.

Was the human world really this complicated?

Or was she simply still too young?

After Sky Dream Ice Silkworm answered incorrectly and received his punishment in the Live Stream Room,

for a time, no one else dared to answer.

Those who knew something about Tang Hao and Ah Yin did not dare answer.

As for the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts whose knowledge was limited to what had just been shown in the live broadcast,

Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts, the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, Snow Empress and Ice Empress, as well as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, dared answer even less.

However, in Windmill Village,

relying on his three chances to be exempted from punishment, Lin Yu had even tried answering that Spirit Hall was the culprit before Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did.

But in the end, the system's response had been... answer incorrect!

Lin Yu could not help frowning deeply as he fell into thought.

Hiss! The culprit behind Ah Yin's sacrifice actually wasn't Spirit Hall?

Then who could it be?

It seemed that the bugs in certain parts of the novel's plot had all been fixed in the real Douluo Continent he had transmigrated into.

Ah Yin's identity being exposed and her being hunted by Qian Xunji had actually been a massive plot hole!

Tang Hao clearly knew Ah Yin's identity, and he should have known that it was easy for her true identity to be discovered while she was pregnant.

Since that was the case, rather than taking Ah Yin into seclusion, Tang Hao had insisted on taking her to a major city.

That allowed Qian Xunji to discover Ah Yin's identity, causing the two of them to be hunted by him and ultimately leading to Ah Yin's sacrifice.

The plot hole was ridiculously huge!

Whether it was Lin Yu himself in his previous life or many readers of Douluo Continent, they had all heavily criticized this issue.

But no one investigated plot holes in a novel.

Yet if this novel had become a real world,

then as long as Tang Hao's brain was not broken, there had to be a reason behind everything!

Lin Yu could not help recalling some conspiracy theories from Douluo fanfics he had read in his previous life.

Thinking back to the plot he knew and the live broadcast from earlier, Lin Yu's gaze began to flicker.

Perhaps the answer was already obvious...

System, the culprit behind Ah Yin's sacrifice should be the Clear Sky Sect, right?

Taking a deep breath in his heart, Lin Yu slowly replied.

He still hid his message on the illusory screen.

After answering the question, Lin Yu began waiting nervously.

Based on his deductions, combined with the original plot and the current live broadcast,

after ruling out the incorrect answer that Spirit Hall was the culprit,

there was more than a seventy percent chance that the Clear Sky Sect was the culprit!

As Lin Yu waited, several seconds later,

Ding! Congratulations, Host. The answer is the Clear Sky Sect. Answer correct! Reward: Any soul bone below one million years. The Host may designate one!

Suddenly, the system's cold voice rang out in his mind.

Haha! It really was correct!

After the system confirmed his answer, Lin Yu was instantly overjoyed.

Ding! Does the Host wish to display the answer in the Live Stream Room?

After announcing the reward, the system's cold voice sounded again.

"Of course, display it!"

Lin Yu smiled faintly and replied.

Just as before, whenever someone answered correctly, the system would announce who had answered the question correctly.

There was no way to hide it anyway. If he chose not to display his answer, it would definitely arouse suspicion. He might as well display it and show off a little!

After Lin Yu agreed to display the answer, it immediately appeared on the illusory screen.

Lin Yu: The culprit behind Ah Yin's sacrifice was... the Clear Sky Sect!

Hu Yanzhen (curious): Huh? Someone answered again. Is this name that kid who answered the first question correctly? But this answer... how could it be the Clear Sky Sect!

Within the Elephant Armor Sect, Hu Yanzhen almost burst out laughing.

In his view, anyone could have been the culprit, but the Clear Sky Sect was the least likely possibility!

After all, because Tang Hao and Ah Yin's relationship had served as the fuse, the Clear Sky Sect had suffered devastating losses and had remained sealed off ever since.

Who would deliberately make themselves suffer such enormous losses?!

Tang Xiao (furious): @Lin Yu, kid, what nonsense are you spouting?! How could the culprit possibly be our Clear Sky Sect? Why would our Clear Sky Sect sell out Brother Hao? Because of Brother Hao and Third Sister's affair, our Clear Sky Sect is still recovering from the losses we suffered back then. Who would deliberately make themselves suffer such enormous losses?!

Yu Yuanzhen (thoughtful): I also find it hard to believe that the culprit would be the Clear Sky Sect. Who would deliberately make themselves suffer such enormous losses? It makes no sense!

After Lin Yu answered that the Clear Sky Sect was the culprit,

many leaders of various factions immediately jumped out and disdainfully declared

that Lin Yu was indeed just a child. He had merely gotten lucky before, and this time, he had definitely answered incorrectly.

How could the Clear Sky Sect possibly be the culprit? Given the enormous losses the Clear Sky Sect had suffered, it made no sense for them to have staged the whole thing themselves!

But while countless messages flooded the illusory screen,

Ning Fengzhi and Bibi Dong both frowned at Lin Yu's answer, yet neither immediately spoke up to refute it.

Because this answer did not seem entirely impossible...

Ding! Notice: Lin Yu's answer: the culprit is the Clear Sky Sect. Answer correct! Reward: Random soul bone above one hundred thousand years x1. Reward distributed!

Suddenly, as a line of blood-red words appeared before everyone's eyes, a cold voice instantly rang in everyone's ears.

Upon hearing this voice, the expressions of everyone who had been mockingly refuting Lin Yu immediately froze, while turbulent waves surged through their hearts.

What! The culprit really was the Clear Sky Sect?!

For a moment, countless people were utterly dumbfounded.

This made no sense!!

Hmm... the current plot is somewhat different from the original. Everyone can just treat the protagonist as being from a parallel world, where the version of Douluo he read was different from ours.

But why was my previous impression that Ah Yin's pregnancy would expose her, and that Tang Hao had been discovered because he took the pregnant Ah Yin with him? That seems different from the current version.

Did I remember wrong, was the original Douluo novel revised, or is this the Mandela Effect?

How strange!
