"Kill... me."

"You bastard."

Bound to a cross, Bibi Dong was a miserable sight, her body covered in lumps and hollows, her bones and meridians shattered. Blood flowed from her mouth, and her eyes were full of despair, fear, and hatred. She forced out those words to provoke Qian Nuo into killing her.

At this moment, she truly felt that death would be a blessing compared to life.

Even death was a luxury beyond her reach.

Smack!

Qian Nuo slapped Bibi Dong across the face.

The blow left her stunned, her mind blank.

"Killing you would be letting you off too easily. I'm going to torture you thoroughly, unless you kill yourself."

Qian Nuo said coldly, "You think you have the right to call me a bastard? From now on, every time I hear you call us that, I'll slap you. You killed one of the only two people I cared about, so when I get out, I'll take the person you care about and love, torture him thoroughly, and then kill him!"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"There's no one out there I care about or love anymore!"

Bibi Dong's heart tightened when she heard him, and she spoke nervously and fearfully.

"Yu. Xiao. Gang!"

Qian Nuo spat out the three syllables one by one.

"You dare!!!"

"Bastard! If you dare go after him, I'll never let you off!! Even if I have to blow myself up, I'll drag you down with me!! Bastard! Animal!!!"

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply, and her expression changed drastically. She went mad, enduring the pain in her body as she struggled and roared like a demon, her eyes fixed on Qian Nuo.

Smack!

Smack!!

Smack!!!

Qian Nuo looked at her in her frenzy with disdain, then stepped up and slapped her three times across the face.

Blood sprayed from her mouth and nose.

"No one in this world gets to tell me what to do."

"Let's play a game. Who do you think will be faster: you killing me, or me killing Yu Xiaogang?"

Qian Nuo spoke coldly, a playful note in his voice.

"No, don't. I'm begging you, don't hurt him. I'll do anything you want."

Utterly powerless and despairing, Bibi Dong pleaded with him.

She knew she had no ability to stop Qian Nuo from killing Yu Xiaogang now.

"To me, you're just a toy I can crush to death whenever I want. I'll let you off this time."

Qian Nuo had had his fun. He raised a hand, pressed it against Bibi Dong, and activated Cursed Technique Reversal.

He healed the injuries on her body.

Her physical injuries were healed, but the wounds to her heart could never be healed.

Qian Nuo turned and walked toward the door with his hands in his pockets. The force binding Bibi Dong disappeared, and she fell to the ground.

At the doorway, Qian Nuo suddenly half turned and warned Bibi Dong coldly, "Wicked mother, listen carefully. From now on, you're not to have anything to do with Yu Xiaogang. If I catch you even once, I'll bring him here and torture him thoroughly in front of you. But don't worry, I won't kill him. Killing him would be too easy; killing him would only free both him and you. I want you both to live in a darkness of suffering."

He didn't like killing people. He liked torturing them.

He liked watching the people he tortured show despair, resentment, anger, and helplessness.

Seeing those expressions made him inexplicably excited.

With that, Qian Nuo turned and walked out of the room.

The black barrier shrouding the room disappeared.

Hearing Qian Nuo's words, Bibi Dong's delicate body trembled with fear as despair, resentment, and malice spread through her heart.

She had thought that after killing Qian Xunji, she could secretly meet Yu Xiaogang.

But now, Qian Nuo's words had reminded her that she couldn't do that.

If she did, she would only bring harm to Yu Xiaogang.

Just what kind of terrifying thing had she given birth to?

Not only was he powerful, but he also disliked killing and loved nothing but torture.

It would have been better if he killed people outright after torturing them, putting an end to everything, but he insisted on healing them instead.

Bibi Dong let out a breath and looked at her healed body. Her delicate hands clenched tightly, her teeth ground together, and her eyes showed endless anger, endless resentment, and endless malice.

She said in a low voice, "One day you'll regret not killing me! When I become a god, that will be the day I kill you, you bastard!!"

The days flew by, and the time came.

That day, Bibi Dong led Spirit Hall's forces against the Clear Sky Sect.

An army of Titled Douluo, Soul Douluo, and others went ahead.

Another group went to hunt down the four single-attribute clans affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect separately.

The Strength Clan, the Defense Clan, the Breaking Clan, and the Speed Clan.

The sudden attacks threw the members of the four clans into great confusion.

They tried to ask the Clear Sky Sect for help, but received no response.

The Clear Sky Sect even announced that it was closing its doors.

At that moment, the Clear Sky Sect was facing an army of Spirit Hall Titled Douluo who had come to camp its spawn. The fighting between the two sides was fierce, and life and death hung in the balance. The sect had no strength or attention to spare for its subordinate clans.

It could only leave them to fend for themselves.

This action also completely chilled the hearts of the four clans and filled them with anger.

They could only flee while fighting off Spirit Hall's pursuit.

Spirit Hall's people did not kill them outright. Instead, to intimidate them, prevent them from helping the Clear Sky Sect, and worsen relations between the two sides, they used a scheme to drive a wedge between them.

The plan was indeed successful.

Relations between the two sides broke down as a result.

The Clear Sky Sect became an unkind and unrighteous presence.

The battle went on for a long time.

It finally ended in the Clear Sky Sect's defeat.

The Clear Sky Sect was forced to announce that it would seal the sect completely and withdraw from the world.

This was also the outcome Qian Daoliu wanted. He had never intended to destroy the Clear Sky Sect.

Rather, he wanted to show the people of the continent where he stood.

It really was Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect who had killed Qian Xunji; it was no lie.

Attacking the Clear Sky Sect was the best proof.

He also understood that the Clear Sky Sect was not the real culprit, which was one reason he had not actually destroyed it.

Weakening the Clear Sky Sect like this was the best outcome for Spirit Hall.

The Clear Sky Sect was the only power capable of threatening Spirit Hall.

Now that it had been suppressed, it naturally no longer had that kind of power.

The two sides reached an agreement.

Spirit Hall: As long as the Clear Sky Sect remained withdrawn from the world, no problem would be a problem. But if the Clear Sky Sect emerged again, Spirit Hall would surely destroy it next time!

The Clear Sky Sect was forced to compromise: From this day forth, the Clear Sky Sect would seal its mountain gates and never emerge!

They had lost many people in this battle, and the fighting had been brutal.

The Clear Sky Sect had suffered a devastating blow!!!

Soon, the news spread across the entire continent.

Spirit Hall's prestige soared once again!

Spirit Hall's strength also made the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire even more wary of it!

Spirit Hall also issued a continent-wide wanted notice for Tang Hao, with a larger reward than last time.

Meanwhile, ever since that incident, Tang Hao had taken his infant child, concealed his identity, and hidden in a very remote place called Holy Soul Village, where he became a blacksmith.

Having learned what had happened from beginning to end, Tang Hao was filled with grief and anger that he could not return to help the Clear Sky Sect.

He had already been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect.

If he went back and was caught, what would happen to the child?

Besides, his injuries had yet to heal.

"Spirit Hall, one day I'll wipe you out!"

Squatting in a water-curtain cave behind a waterfall on the back mountain, Tang Hao finished planting a stalk of Blue Silver Grass. Then he looked outside and spoke in great anger.

He also knew that he had become the scapegoat.

Now everyone on the continent knew that he had killed Qian Xunji.

He had now fully taken on the blame.

If they said he had killed him, then so be it!

There was no use explaining anymore.

Outsiders did not know the truth.
