" Tang Chen, don't use such disgusting language. What do you mean by 'smell on me'? It's as if you've ever smelled anything on me before!"
Several figures stepped out from the Void, the golden figure at the head being Qian Daoliu.
Beside him stood a stunningly beautiful woman with a red dress and long, blue-gold hair.
The moment Tang Chen saw that stunningly beautiful woman, his gaze was completely captivated, and his previously cold and gloomy expression softened.
The woman was none other than Tang Chen's former love, the original Sea God Douluo Poseidon.
" Xi Xi..."
Tang Chen opened his mouth without thinking, but was immediately interrupted by Bo Saixi's cold voice.
"Please call me Bo Saixi. 'Xi Xi' is a nickname my husband uses only for me."
Back when Tang Chen made her choice, she had completely given up on this man. Over the years, she had been Qian Daoliu and had long forgotten everything about her past with him.
At the same time, she was also very glad that she chose Qian Daoliu instead of Tang Chen back then.
It was only over the years that she gradually came to understand a truth: for a woman, choosing a man who loves her is far better than choosing a man she loves.
That choice she made back then already showed that Tang Chen, whom she once deeply loved, was not a good person. If she were to clash with the existence of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen would probably still choose the Clear Sky Sect instead of her.
She even doubted that if Tang Chen had to choose between his own life and his strength and her, he would still choose to abandon her.
This is the biggest difference between Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu. Although Qian Daoliu may not be able to give up everything for her, he is absolutely capable of giving up his own life and cultivation strength.
This was already proven back then: Tang Chen would abandon her, but Qian Daoliu would never.
Therefore, Qian Daoliu is the best place for her, and this has been proven little by little over the years.
" Mingzhi, Nianbing, come and greet your Uncle Tang Chen."
Qian Daoliu waved to the young man and woman behind him, then said playfully to his nemesis Tang Chen, "These are my and Xi Xi's children, Qian Mingzhi and Qian Nianbing. I forgot to send you a wedding invitation when the children turned one month old, so this is a good opportunity to make up for it. You won't be stingy with a small gift, will you?"
Qian Daoliu brought his son and daughter with him this time to spite Tang Chen, his former rival in love, and also to show off.
Sure enough, Tang Chen's eyes widened in anger upon hearing these words, and Qian Daoliu's next words made his eyes burn with rage.
"Oh, right, there are seven children at home, but they're too young to come with us. As their uncle, you can give them the gifts along with the gifts!"
Seeing Tang Chen's furious expression, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but laugh heartily.
He used to be superior to Tang Chen in every aspect. Although he was known as Invincible in the air and on par with Tang Chen Invincible on land, he would actually be suppressed when he faced him in a real match.
In matters of the heart, he was utterly crushed. If it weren't for that incident back then, Tang Chen and Bo Saixi would be putting on this show for him today.
Fortunately, time has proven that he ultimately emerged victorious, and victorious in every aspect!
In terms of relationships, there's no need to say more; his children are the best proof. In terms of strength and influence, he far surpasses Tang Chen.
Despite Tang Chen's level 100 godhood, he is still the original level 99 Peerless Douluo. However, by re-establishing the Body Refinement of the Spirit Hall Empire, his strength far surpasses that of Tang Chen.
He is now strong enough to face Third-Level God without being at a disadvantage, far stronger than Tang Chen, a ragtag Level 100 God without Godhood.
As for their power, there's no need to elaborate. After all, his Spirit Hall has already established an empire and has been suppressing the Great Emperor in their battles, while Tang Chen's Clear Sky Sect is still only at the sect level.
This overwhelming advantage in every aspect made Qian Daoliu extremely proud and self-satisfied.
These words really stung Tang Chen, and his eyes became bloodshot.
Keep in mind that this has only been thirty years, yet she has had nine children in such a short time—that's incredibly prolific!
It was clear that Qian Daoliu must have been indulging in nightly revelry with Bo Saixi all these years. Just thinking about this made Tang Chen's throat feel a metallic taste.
" Liuliu, you forgot something. I have two little ones here too!"
Just then, a blissful shyness appeared on Bo Saixi's face, and she placed her palm on her lower abdomen.
Although it had only been a month, her cultivation level allowed her to clearly detect the development of two small lives within her womb.
"Really? How long has it been? Why did it take you so long to tell me?"
Qian Daoliu was taken aback, then overjoyed. He quickly put his ear to his wife's lower abdomen, as if to listen to what was happening inside.
This could not help but excite Qian Daoliu, who knew that his Qian Family had always been small, with almost every generation passing down the lineage to a single member.
But for him, only thirty years after marrying Bo Saixi, he already had nine children, and counting the two his wife was currently carrying, that made eleven.
This is of great significance, as it means that the number of people in their Qian Family family generation has finally broken into double digits.
Congratulations! Congratulations!
"Puff!"
These stimulating scenes finally caused Tang Chen to spit out a mouthful of blood.
It wasn't that he lacked mental fortitude, but rather that the fight with Little Nine had already caused him some internal injuries. Now, being provoked by his former rival and lover in such successive ways, he simply couldn't suppress the surge of anger.
"Haha, Tang Chen, now you can finally make it to my child's one-month celebration."
Of course, that's assuming you're still alive by then!
Seeing Tang Chen's mouthful of blood made Qian Daoliu feel even more satisfied. Then, his expression changed, and his aura suddenly turned cold.
He wasn't there to treat Tang Chen to dinner and chat casually this time; he had serious business to attend to.
"You've really fallen to the extreme. You're not satisfied with being a lackey of the gods in the Divine Realm. Now you've even added the Abyss Plane to your list and opened a dimensional passage to our Douluo Star for them."
Tang Chen, you have truly disappointed me. To be ranked alongside someone like you back then is the greatest shame of my life.
How could their Spirit Hall Empire not investigate such a major event as the invasion of the Abyss Plane?
Moreover, they already knew that the Holy Spirit Cult was a preemptive strike by the Abyss Plane on Douluo Star, so by investigating the Holy Spirit Cult, they found quite a few clues.
Previously, because we were fully engaged in the battle against the Abyss Plane, we didn't have time to pay attention to these things. Now that we have won, it's time to settle accounts.
Although Clear Sky Sect did it very discreetly, he still managed to trace it back to them. Although there was no concrete evidence, he was certain that it was definitely Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect, or more precisely, Tang Chen, who did it.
According to the description of the Ferocious Beast Xiong Jun, the Abyss Plane was originally maintained and operated based on a divine artifact.
Divine artifacts are incredibly precious, and are extremely rare on Douluo Star. Apart from the artifact fragments separated from the Divine Realm gods in the Great God, there are no other divine artifacts.
At least for now, Douluo Star alone cannot forge divine artifacts, so divine artifacts can only originate from the Divine Realm.
Tang Chen happens to be the Divine Realm messenger of the Asura God of the God Realm on Douluo Star, and is fully capable of obtaining a divine artifact.
Furthermore, the Clear Sky Sect's mysterious connection with the Holy Spirit Cult on the Imperial battlefield, as well as its strange behavior in the interdimensional invasion war, made him almost 100% certain that this Abyss Plane Invasion was definitely related to Tang Chen.
"Hmph! I should be the one saying that!"
" Qian Daoliu, you're still as insidious as ever. If you want to frame me, you can always find a pretext. If you want to kill me and destroy my Clear Sky Sect, just say so. Why resort to these underhanded tricks?"
With a cold snort, Tang Chen showed no sign of being disturbed by Qian Daoliu's exposure of his secret. With his composure, he would not let his expression slip.
He had already made arrangements for this. As long as he insisted that this was an excuse used by the Spirit Hall Empire to destroy his Clear Sky Sect, no one could say anything.
Furthermore, their Clear Sky Sect suffered heavy losses in this interdimensional war, with almost all of their Titled Douluo troops being wiped out.
This sacrifice is enough to shut everyone up!
At the same time, he had already eliminated everyone who might expose him. Without substantial evidence, no matter how much Qian Daoliu said, it would be useless. Instead, he would be viewed with suspicion and rejected by the aristocratic families, sects, and the Great Emperor.
"Hmph! Once I've captured you, I'll naturally be able to find out everything from your mind!"
With the same cold snort, Qian Daoliu Qian Mingzhi, behind him.
Qian Mingzhi understood, took out a book he had prepared beforehand, and read aloud, "In the late March of the eleventh year of the new emperor's reign, Tang Zhen, the Clear Sky Sect, ordered the Vice Admiral slaughter of all men, women, and children of the Blazing Fire Berserk Ape Kris clan, seizing their property to enrich himself."
Mid-April of the eleventh year of the new emperor's reign...
The current Spirit Hall Empire uses a brand new imperial calendar, with the year Bibi Dong succeeded to the Pope as the first year of the new emperor's reign.
The book in Qian Mingzhi's hand recorded all the evil deeds committed by the Clear Sky Sect after returning to Douluo Star from the spatial turbulence.
Although the Clear Sky Sect had previously concealed their activities well, the Spirit Hall Empire's intelligence network still managed to uncover everything.
The reason I brought this evidence with me this time is to have a legitimate reason for my actions.
Although they don't care about the opinions of various factions, they still have to abide by the laws within the Spirit Hall Empire.
Otherwise, if they arbitrarily eliminate other forces or individuals based on their own whims, how are they any different from those powerful clans, sects, noble families, and wealthy tycoons?
This precedent must not be set; it would be a provocation against imperial law, inevitably causing endless harm and even shaking the very foundation of the empire.
Therefore, the necessary procedures still need to be followed!
As for why they only brought evidence of the Clear Sky Sect's crimes after its return from the spatial turbulence, it's not because their Spirit Hall Empire didn't have evidence of the Clear Sky Sect before.
However, the Spirit Hall at that time was no better than the Clear Sky Sect, and it had just as many underhanded dealings.
Since everyone's past isn't clean, naturally no one will speak ill of anyone else.
However, since Bibi Dong succeeded to the position of Pope and implemented reforms to the Spirit Hall, such matters have been completely eradicated, leaving the place absolutely clean.
During this period, they could naturally stand on the moral high ground and in the name of righteousness to criticize the Clear Sky Sect.
As Qian Mingzhi recounted the secret deeds of their Clear Sky Sect and the evidence that had been extracted, Tang Chen's expression grew even more somber.
Although he desperately wanted to stop him, Qian Daoliu was watching him intently from above, and he knew very well that he was powerless to stop him.
There was nothing they could do; the Clear Sky Sect was currently in a weaker position. In the Douluo Continent, the strong were respected, and the weak could only abide by the rules set by the strong.
The Clear Sky Sect had done similar things many times before, but today the tables have turned, and it's their Clear Sky Sect to be the weaker party.
Meanwhile, Little Nine was also making final adjustments. Once Qian Mingzhi finished proclaiming the evidence of the Clear Sky Sect's crimes, they would take action and slaughter everyone currently in the Clear Sky Sect without showing any mercy.
At this point, there's no point in talking about harming innocent people. Those who were kept here by the Clear Sky Sect are the most elite members and the main perpetrators of those sins. They have blood on their hands and wouldn't be enough to warrant dying ten times over.
Furthermore, even if some people did not participate in those heinous acts, their very existence within the Clear Sky Sect is a sin.
No snowflake is innocent in Xue Beng, so these people all had their own way of dying and are not innocent.
Therefore, Little Nine and the others felt no qualms about killing these people, and naturally did not hold back.
