Yes, Host.
Ding~! Congratulations, Host! Your luck has exploded, and you have been struck by the system's gift package, obtaining the innate trait Absolute Rationality.
Absolute Rationality: No matter when, the Host could maintain absolute rationality and corresponding caution.
As soon as the system finished speaking, Ling Feng felt a stream of spiritual energy rush straight into the crown of his head.
His Spiritual Platform became clear, and all his restless emotions were suppressed.
"System, thank you!"
Ling Feng sincerely thanked the system.
He knew it was impossible for his luck to be that good.
This was merely the system's excuse for giving him special treatment...
After offering his heartfelt thanks, Ling Feng rose into the air and flew on his sword toward the nearest village.
Tang Hao was already gravely wounded and on the verge of death, and he was carrying Tang San as well. He could not have gone far.
A streak of light cut across the sky, shooting toward the village neighboring Sacred Soul Village.
No need to thank me...!
The Dao Protector System had always been taciturn.
Spirit City, Pope's Palace.
After killing Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong placed all the blame on Tang Hao.
She announced to the public that Qian Xunji had been severely wounded by Tang Hao and had died from his injuries shortly after returning.
No one in Spirit Hall questioned this.
After all, Qian Xunji had led Spirit Hall's Soul Douluo team to hunt Ah Yin, a one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast that had taken human form.
Ah Yin was the woman Tang Hao loved most. Tang Hao was the Clear Sky Sect's greatest genius, one of the renowned Haotian Twin Stars. He had the strength to kill Qian Xunji in return.
The Clear Sky Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer ultimate technique, Explode Ring, could greatly increase one's combat strength. Every high-level soul master on the continent knew that.
Furthermore, Tang Hao himself had been an eighty-ninth-ranked Soul Douluo. After Ah Yin sacrificed herself to him, he had become a ninetieth-ranked Titled Douluo.
Having entered the rank of Titled Douluo, Tang Hao, empowered by Explode Ring, had wiped out Spirit Hall's Soul Douluo team with a single hammer strike.
It was not impossible that Qian Xunji had underestimated him and been hammered to death by Tang Hao despite the difference in rank.
Upon learning that Tang Hao had actually betrayed humanity for the sake of a soul beast and hammered Spirit Hall's Pope to death,
Spirit Hall immediately issued a wanted order for Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was wanted across the entire continent, and the Clear Sky Sect was ordered to hand him over or prepare to bear Spirit Hall's monstrous wrath.
Faced with Spirit Hall's threats, the Clear Sky Sect could not possibly hand over Tang Hao.
But if they did not hand over Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Sect's strength was insufficient to withstand Spirit Hall's fury.
Although the Clear Sky Sect was one of the Top Three Sects, the gap between it and Spirit Hall was still enormous.
In order to survive, the Clear Sky Sect had no choice but to retreat into seclusion.
From then on, the Clear Sky Sect vanished from the continent, and the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul became a taboo among the continent's people.
Within the Pope's Palace, Qian Renxue, a lovely young girl of only nine, was left staring blankly when she learned of her father's death. The sword in her hand fell straight to the ground.
She immediately burst into tears.
Before news of Qian Xunji's death had arrived, Qian Renxue had finally trained the strength in one arm to twenty jin and managed to wield the twenty-jin Juque Sword.
For her, this improvement was enormous. It had doubled.
She had been so happy, her heart filled with joy.
She could not wait to show off this good news to her grandfather and make him happy too.
But before she had the chance to tell her grandfather,
Bibi Dong sent her terrible news.
She told her of a nightmare.
Her father, Qian Xunji, had gone to hunt Ah Yin, a one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast that had taken human form, only to be grievously wounded by a single strike of Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.
Not long after returning, he had died from his injuries.
The Soul Douluo team her father had brought with him had also been completely annihilated by Tang Hao. Not a single one had returned.
Upon hearing this terrible news, Qian Renxue's brilliant world collapsed.
It was as if her body had fallen into a bottomless abyss, plunging endlessly downward.
The surroundings grew colder and colder. Though it was clearly summer, she could not feel even a trace of warmth.
"Mother, can I see Father one last time?"
Qian Renxue's tearful voice carried a trace of pleading.
She was so small, so weak and helpless, so pitiful and heartbroken.
Bibi Dong's heart was as cold as iron. Not only was she completely unmoved, she had no patience for Qian Renxue's act.
Instead, seeing little Qian Renxue like this gave her a faint sense of satisfaction.
She liked seeing Qian Renxue in unbearable pain, helpless and heartbroken.
Because of her, the happy life Bibi Dong should have had had been destroyed.
So Bibi Dong wanted revenge against Qian Xunji, the Qian Family, and everyone else!
"No!" Bibi Dong coldly rejected Qian Renxue's plea. Even though the girl was her biological daughter, she showed no softness at all. "And haven't I warned you before?"
"Don't call me Mother. Call me Sister!"
Her mother's rejection made Qian Renxue, whose heart was already wounded, feel even more desolate.
"But, but you are my mother!"
"Why do you want me to call you Sister?!"
She pressed her lips tightly together, her misty eyes looking pitifully at Bibi Dong.
She suppressed sobs in her throat, her eyes red as tears streamed down without end.
She kept wiping away her tears with her wrist, but no matter how much she wiped, she could not wipe them clean.
She stood there motionlessly, stubbornness written across her little face.
Seeing little Qian Renxue looking as though the entire world had abandoned her, Bibi Dong, as her mother, not only felt no guilt whatsoever, but felt even more satisfied.
The more Qian Renxue suffered, the happier she was.
Qian Xunji, although you are dead, our debt has not been settled.
You destroyed me, so I will destroy your daughter too.
"Bibi Dong, how dare you?! She is your daughter!"
A roar rang out as Qian Daoliu and several enshriners from the Enshriner Hall, including Golden Crocodile Douluo, entered with dark expressions.
Their oppressive auras weighed heavily upon the room, like the sky before a storm.
Golden Crocodile Douluo glared furiously at Bibi Dong, his body radiating an inextinguishable murderous aura.
Wave after wave of fierce killing intent surged from him.
If not for the fact that she was Xiao Xue's mother, Golden Crocodile Douluo might have already killed Bibi Dong.
How could there be such a mother in this world?
Bibi Dong was simply unworthy of being human, unworthy of living in this world.
Qian Xunji's actions had certainly been wrong, but Qian Renxue was innocent.
Bibi Dong's hatred for Qian Xunji should not have fallen upon Qian Renxue.
Moreover, Bibi Dong had been raised by Spirit Hall and received Spirit Hall's grace.
Since she had received Spirit Hall's grace, she should have possessed the awareness to devote herself to Spirit Hall.
Sensing the killing intent surging from Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qian Daoliu stretched out an arm to stop him, afraid that in his rage, he would kill Bibi Dong.
No matter what, Bibi Dong was Qian Renxue's mother, her last remaining family member in this world.
As for Qian Daoliu himself, he was destined to be sacrificed.
"Bibi Dong, you have gone too far!"
After stopping Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was boiling with rage, Qian Daoliu's gaze fell upon Qian Renxue with heartache.
He then turned a cold gaze toward Bibi Dong and rebuked her sternly, "Even if Xiao Xue has done a thousand, ten thousand things wrong, she is still your daughter—your biological daughter!"
"How could you bear to treat her like this?!"
Bibi Dong knew that with Qian Renxue as her shield, no matter how furious Qian Daoliu was, he would not dare do anything to her.
Fearless, she showed Qian Daoliu no respect whatsoever.
She crossed her arms, accentuating her cleavage.
A cold curve appeared at the corner of her lips. "Too far?"
"How have I gone too far? This is simply how I am!"
"And compared to the harm your Qian Family inflicted upon me, what does any of this amount to?"
Seeing Bibi Dong throwing caution to the wind and preparing to speak of those unbearable matters, Qian Daoliu's brows twitched.
He feared that after Qian Renxue learned the truth, she would not be able to bear it, and her already fragile heart would be wounded again.
He hurriedly shouted, sternly rebuking her.
"Bibi Dong, shut your mouth!"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong gave a sinister curl of her lips. Her gaze fell upon Qian Renxue, who had stopped crying, and she closed her mouth as well.
That experience was her darkness, as well as the pain of her life. She did not want to recount it.
(These past few days, my mind has been muddled, and my writing has not been good enough.
I wrote and deleted these chapters, deleted and revised them, revised and deleted them again.
I have never been satisfied with them, so this will do for now!)
