Tang Lingtian (Clear Sky Sect Seventh Elder) (furious): You demoness! What explanation do you still want from us? Wasn't it you who dragged our Clear Sky Sect down? My eldest son was killed in Spirit Hall's attack because of you! You should be the ones giving our Clear Sky Sect an explanation!

Ah Yin: You!!

Seeing the words of Tang Lingtian, the Clear Sky Sect Seventh Elder, Ah Yin gritted her silver teeth in fury, her heart filled with indignation.

Had she dragged the Clear Sky Sect down?

But from beginning to end, she had not enjoyed even the slightest benefit from the Clear Sky Sect.

Instead, she had borne a child for Tang Hao, who had been the next-generation sect master of the Clear Sky Sect. This had exposed her identity and brought her to her current fate, worse than death.

If not for Tang Hao, she would never have become pregnant.

And with her cultivation at the time, already close to the mature stage—

As long as she cultivated to the mature stage, no one would have been able to discover her.

She could have lived freely on Douluo Continent!

If it had been before—

She might have believed that she and her husband Tang Hao had dragged the Clear Sky Sect down.

So naturally, she would not have resented the Clear Sky Sect for failing to send anyone to help her and Tang Hao back then.

But now, the Live Stream Room had revealed everything that had happened.

Originally, after she and Tang Hao married outside the sect, they could have remained in seclusion and peacefully given birth to their son, Tang San.

But it was clearly someone from your Clear Sky Sect who lured them into that city, resulting in their discovery by Spirit Hall's Pope and the pursuit that followed.

The true culprit behind all this was clearly your Clear Sky Sect.

What right did you have to throw all the blame onto the two of them!

It was us whose family had been destroyed by your Clear Sky Sect. I should be the one demanding an explanation from you!

For a moment, Ah Yin was furious.

Ah Yin (furious): Tang Hao!!! Tell them what happened back then! Why did you take me to that city and let Spirit Hall's Pope discover us in the end?!

I!!

Behind Holy Soul Village, beneath the waterfall, Tang Hao saw Ah Yin's words on the illusory screen and could not help clutching his head, his face full of pain and struggle.

How was he supposed to answer?

On one side was the sect that had raised him; on the other was his current wife.

He never wanted to hurt either side.

But now, both sides were forcing him to give an explanation. How could he possibly do that?!

Yet amid his agony, Tang Hao finally made a choice.

Ah Yin... I'm sorry!

Tang Hao's face was filled with shame.

We've already ended up like this anyway. Nothing can be salvaged anymore.

And Father died long ago. As they say, the dead leave their debts behind.

Xiao San will surely need the Clear Sky Sect's strength in the future. We can't be so selfish!

Tang Hao tried hard to convince himself.

Tang Hao: Ah Yin... I was the one who wanted to go to that city back then. No one from the Clear Sky Sect told me to go there. This has nothing to do with the Clear Sky Sect...

After typing out his complicated answer onto the illusory screen, Tang Hao seemed to have all strength drained from him. His tall body suddenly slumped.

Tang Lingtian (sneering): See, demoness? Even Tang Hao said that your exposure had nothing to do with our Clear Sky Sect. You brought this upon yourselves. It was you who dragged our Clear Sky Sect down, so you should be the ones giving us an explanation!

However, Ah Yin did not see Tang Lingtian's words at that moment, because all her attention was fixed on Tang Hao's answer.

When she realized that her husband was still protecting the Clear Sky Sect even now—

Ah Yin's heart instantly turned cold, and she was overcome by despair.

Brother Hao... Did Tang Hao truly love her?

For him, she had defied the greatest taboo of soul beasts and married a human.

Because of that, her identity had been exposed, and she had fallen to her current plight.

But even now, what did all her sacrifices amount to in Brother Hao's heart?

She was not asking Brother Hao to take revenge on the Clear Sky Sect.

She only wanted the Clear Sky Sect to apologize. Was even that too much to ask?

Lin Yu (sneering): Tang Hao, you really are a sect slave! Your whole family has ended up like this, and the true culprit is clearly the Clear Sky Sect, yet you do not blame them in the slightest. Then again, that makes sense. From beginning to end, whether it was the Clear Sky Sect, Spirit Hall, or your wife Ah Yin, everyone suffered devastating losses. Only you became the continent's youngest Titled Douluo with a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring. You were the ultimate winner!

Though Lin Yu spoke, his tone was thick with mockery.

Tang Hao (furious): Who exactly are you? Why are you so determined to drive a wedge between my family and the Clear Sky Sect? Do you have some grudge against my family or the Clear Sky Sect?!

Seeing Lin Yu continue to sow discord, especially since Lin Yu had started this whole matter in the first place—

Tang Hao hated him so much that his teeth itched.

Lin Yu: Was I wrong? Isn't this the truth?

Faced with Tang Hao's anger, Lin Yu merely sneered in rebuttal.

Lin Yu: Don't think I don't know what happened. I'm telling you, based on the information already available, I've figured out seventy or eighty percent of what happened back then. As the foremost of the Upper Three Sects, the Clear Sky Sect was once a force capable of standing against Spirit Hall during Tang Chen's era. Now that Tang Chen has gone missing, your Clear Sky Sect has become utter trash, without even a trace of courage. The dignified Clear Sky Sect Master could even sell out his own daughter-in-law. How laughable!

How was that possible? How did he know?!

Seeing Lin Yu's reply, Tang Hao's heart jolted, and he was both shocked and enraged.

Yu Xiaogang: Ahem! Well... I still believe Clear Sky Douluo's words. I think this had nothing to do with the Clear Sky Sect. After all, the Clear Sky Sect also suffered devastating losses and has been in seclusion for five or six years now. Who would do something that killed eight hundred enemies while costing themselves three thousand for no reason?

Seeing his idol, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, struggling on all sides and caught between his wife and his sect, Yu Xiaogang could not help speaking up for Tang Hao.

And after Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong immediately jumped in as well.

Liu Erlong: I think Xiaogang is right. The Clear Sky Sect suffered devastating losses too!

Niu Gao (Chief of the Yu Clan): What? The Clear Sky Sect suffered devastating losses? Were their losses worse than ours? When Spirit Hall attacked back then, the Clear Sky Sect's Core Disciples outside the sect evacuated very quickly. Our Four Great Clans had served the Clear Sky Sect for so many years, only to suffer an undeserved disaster. Our grounds were destroyed, and more than half our clansmen died, yet from beginning to end, the Clear Sky Sect only thought of fleeing. They did not send even a single soldier to support us. And that counts as suffering devastating losses?

Seeing even outsiders like Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong step forward to speak well of the Clear Sky Sect, repeatedly bringing up how the Clear Sky Sect had also suffered devastating losses, Niu Gao, the chief of the Defense Clan, finally could not endure it any longer. He laughed in fury and spoke on the illusory screen.
