Inside the Live Stream Room.

After reading what Lin Yu had said, everyone, especially Ning Fengzhi and the others, could not help but feel deeply shocked and somewhat incredulous.

It seemed... the true culprit really might have been the Clear Sky Sect?!

At first, they had hardly suspected the Clear Sky Sect at all.

After all, the Clear Sky Sect had also been a victim. Because of Tang Hao and his wife, it had suffered a devastating blow and remained in seclusion to this day.

Who would have thought that an organization that had gained nothing and instead suffered such heavy losses would be the mastermind behind everything?

But after Lin Yu's explanation, it was not as though the Clear Sky Sect had gained nothing.

Tang Hao, the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent, had obtained a Hundred-Thousand Year Ninth Soul Ring through his wife Ah Yin's sacrifice, as well as a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. He was the Clear Sky Sect's greatest gain!

Moreover, Lin Yu's reconstruction of events was not baseless speculation.

Everything in it followed a logical chain, each link interlocking with the next.

Everything that happened had a reason, and it all aligned with what they knew. There was no logical flaw to be found.

They had to admit it—the deduction was flawless!

In truth, if not for Qian Xunji's death, the Clear Sky Sect would indeed have become the greatest winner.

And from their current perspective, Qian Xunji truly should not have died.

Qian Xunji had been a veteran Titled Douluo and had even brought two Titled Douluo with him, yet he was ultimately killed by Tang Hao, who had only just become a Titled Douluo.

Although Ah Yin's sacrifice had given Tang Hao a Hundred-Thousand Year Ninth Soul Ring, and his strength might indeed have far surpassed that of an ordinary level ninety-one Titled Douluo.

Qian Xunji's identity was no ordinary one either. He had been the Pope of Spirit Hall.

His Martial Soul was said to be a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul with Innate Soul Power at level twenty, and he should not have lacked Soul Bones either.

In theory, even with a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring as his Ninth Soul Ring, Tang Hao should not have been able to defeat Qian Xunji, much less kill him.

Yet events had unfolded in precisely the direction they considered least likely!

And perhaps it was because their originally foolproof plan had failed. Not only had it failed to help the Clear Sky Sect, but it had instead caused the sect to suffer severe losses and retreat into seclusion.

Tang Hao's father had likely been injured in the process as well, and he was already advanced in age.

Thus, after the plan failed and instead brought disaster upon the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Hao's father had ultimately died in anguish and regret, leaving Tang Xiao to inherit the position of Clear Sky Sect Master.

At that thought, everyone could not help but suck in a cold breath.

Because all the logic had formed a perfect closed loop here!

Could Father really have betrayed Hao and Third Sister back then?!

Within the Clear Sky Sect, after reading Lin Yu's deduction, Tang Xiao felt as though he had fallen into an icy abyss. His heart was filled with despair and disbelief.

Emotionally, he was utterly unwilling to believe Lin Yu's deduction.

But rationally, everything made it impossible for him not to doubt.

Leaving aside everything else, just based on what they had seen in the live stream, it made far too little sense for his younger brother Tang Hao to take Ah Yin to the city Qian Xunji was planning to visit while she was pregnant.

Yet their father had expressed his willingness to accept Tang Hao and Ah Yin, and had arranged to meet them in that city.

That was undoubtedly an incomparably perfect reason for Tang Hao to willingly—even excitedly—bring Ah Yin there!

For a moment, Tang Xiao was in immense pain.

Could Father truly have been so heartless?

He had even plotted against his own daughter-in-law. Ah Yin may have been a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but she was kinder than who knew how many humans!

Ah Yin (Sorrowful): Hao, even at this point, are you still unwilling to admit it? As long as you make the Clear Sky Sect give me an explanation and apologize to me, that will be enough. I won't ask you to take revenge on the Clear Sky Sect. I only want an explanation and an apology! Are you unwilling to grant me even that? You keep saying that you love me, but in your heart, does my life and death matter less than the Clear Sky Sect's reputation?

After Lin Yu laid out his reconstruction of events, even Ning Fengzhi and the others, who had initially harbored some doubts, were convinced and believed Lin Yu's deduction. Ah Yin was naturally no exception.

With the answer already available—the Live Stream Room had revealed it—Lin Yu's logic and motives were simply too perfect for them not to believe.

And based on Lin Yu's deduction, Ah Yin realized that everything matched what had happened back then.

At the very least, when Tang Hao had said he was taking her to a certain city, he had been incredibly excited, saying that he wanted to give her a surprise.

But with Tang Hao's personality, if he had merely been taking her out for fun, he could never have been that excited!

So there was only one answer: after she became pregnant, Tang Hao had indeed contacted the Clear Sky Sect.

And Tang Hao's father had indeed told Tang Hao to bring her to that city, allowing Qian Xunji to discover them and plot against her, ultimately forcing her to sacrifice herself for Tang Hao.

Ah Yin had never doubted Tang Hao's feelings for her.

When Tang Hao's father had opposed their relationship, Tang Hao had been willing to fall out with his father just to be with her.

But Tang Hao's favoritism toward the Clear Sky Sect and his disregard for her demands had chilled Ah Yin to the bone.

Even though all the evidence had already been laid bare, Tang Hao was still unwilling to admit what had happened back then.

He would not even make the Clear Sky Sect give her an explanation and apologize.

Ah Yin was utterly disappointed.

An apology would cost the Clear Sky Sect nothing but its face.

But because of Tang Hao's father's scheme, what she had lost was her life.

If not for the unique nature of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, she would likely have already died.

And even though she had not died, her current state was worse than death!

Yet even so, Tang Hao still ignored her demands and, before the entire Douluo Continent, twisted right and wrong to defend the Clear Sky Sect.

Ah Yin was already on the verge of breaking down.

She was giving Tang Hao one final chance. If Tang Hao still chose the Clear Sky Sect, then she no longer needed to cling to her feelings for him.

Tang Hao's affection for her had already been repaid by her giving up a lifetime of cultivation, sacrificing herself to grant Tang Hao a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and even bearing his child!

From now on, she would live for herself!

Ah Yin...

Seeing Ah Yin continue to press him, Tang Hao was in unbearable pain.

He knew the Clear Sky Sect had wronged Ah Yin, but everything had already been set in stone!

His wife had already ended up like this. Nothing could be undone, and his father, who had plotted against Ah Yin back then, was already dead. That counted as giving his wife an explanation.

But the Clear Sky Sect was still here!

Did the Clear Sky Sect truly have to be utterly disgraced as well?

Tang Hao (Grief-Stricken): Ah Yin, you... you need to be more mature! Leaving aside whether this brat Lin Yu is right or not, even if he is, Father is already dead. Even if Father disapproved of the two of us back then, a person's debts die with them. You shouldn't keep hating him so much. And even if you don't think for yourself, you should think about our son. He may need the Clear Sky Sect in the future. Nothing can be undone now. Spirit Hall caused all this; we should seek revenge on Spirit Hall. But now you're insisting on listening to an outsider and ruining the Clear Sky Sect's reputation. How would that benefit us?

When Ah Yin saw Tang Hao's reply, her heart turned completely cold.

In a daze, Ah Yin could not help but laugh bitterly to herself.

It seems that in his heart, even after all I gave him, I will always be less important than the Clear Sky Sect that raised him.

But that made sense. They had been together for less than ten years, while he had lived in the Clear Sky Sect for forty or fifty years.

At that thought, Ah Yin's heart turned to ashes, and she was completely disappointed in Tang Hao.

How many chances had she given Tang Hao already? Yet Tang Hao always defended the Clear Sky Sect and worried about its reputation, while refusing to care about her sacrifice.

And as the victim, she was actually being called immature by Tang Hao.

Because there was no benefit in ruining the Clear Sky Sect's reputation now, they should not pursue what had happened back then.

What a laughable reason!!
