Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
In the empty and magnificent hall, there was only the sound of faint breathing.
On the Chat Group screen, those rows of shocking question marks eventually turned into a question sent by Bibi Dong.
[Supreme Pontiff: It was precisely because of the pregnancy that she was exposed?! If she hadn't been pregnant, wouldn't that mean she wouldn't have been exposed at all?]
On the high-backed papal throne, Bibi Dong leaned forward slightly.
She wore a purple-gold crown and a luxurious robe embroidered with gold and silver patterns. The hem of the robe cascaded down like a waterfall, covering the entire steps.
Beneath the robe was her figure, so perfect it didn't seem mortal, with a slender waist and startling curves.
Through the slit of the robe, a pair of long, jade-like legs wrapped in purple stockings were faintly visible, their lines smooth and full of power. On her feet were a pair of exquisite high heels, adding a bit more pressure to her already tall stature.
At this moment, on her elegant and peerlessly beautiful face, there was no longer a trace of color.
She had always thought that the story of Tang Hao and Ah Yin was a grand, tragic romance, and Qian Xunji was the villain who tore the lovers apart.
But now, Lu Ming's words were like a key, unlocking all the overlooked doubts in her memory.
That's right.
If she hadn't been pregnant, Ah Yin wouldn't have been exposed.
If Ah Yin hadn't been exposed, Qian Xunji wouldn't have led people to hunt her down.
Without the hunt, Ah Yin wouldn't have sacrificed herself.
The root of the entire event was actually that "crystallization of love" praised by countless people!
How absurd! How ironic!
Once this thought arose, it grew wildly like vines, wrapping around her heart and making her almost suffocate.
In the Chat Group, others also recovered from their initial shock and began to follow this line of thinking.
[The Fox Is the Most Innocent: My scalp is tingling.]
[I Have No Mother: It's so itchy. Am I about to grow a brain?]
In the Eastern Palace of Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue looked at the message she had sent, a flash of self-deprecation in her golden eyes.
Yes, she had always been indoctrinated with the justice of Spirit Hall and the evil of Tang Hao.
But she had never thought that behind this evil, there was another, deeper layer of evil hidden.
[Little Demoness: One thing might be a coincidence, but there are just too many coincidences?! How could everything be such a coincidence?]
[My Cat is White and Big:...]
Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, just silently watched the screen, her purple pupils shrinking to pinpoints.
She thought of Dai Mubai, thought of the cruel struggle for the throne in the Star Luo Empire.
For power, biological brothers could turn against each other.
Then for the sake of Becoming a god, what was impossible about a man scheming against his lover?
The tide in the group had completely turned towards Lu Ming.
...
Inside the Cultivation room at Blue Tyrant Academy.
Lu Ming looked at the rapidly soaring numbers on the Chat Group activity panel, the smile on his face becoming more apparent.
He knew the time was ripe.
It was time to completely tear away Tang Hao's last shred of dignity.
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): You've finally started using your brains to think.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Tang Hao, the once-in-a-century genius of the Clear Sky Sect, the youngest Spirit Douluo on the continent. Do you think he wouldn't know the difference between a top-tier Titled Douluo and an ordinary Titled Douluo?]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): The difference lies in whether the ninth spirit ring is a hundred-thousand-year one.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): So when he met an inexperienced, innocent, and kind-hearted Ah Yin, whose true form was a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, what do you guess he was feeling?]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): He was ecstatic.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): A perfect, mobile hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone were delivered right to his mouth.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): All he needed to do was fabricate a soul-stirring love story to make this prey willingly walk into his carefully laid trap.]
Every word of Lu Ming's was like a heavy hammer, smashing hard against everyone's hearts.
That so-called love at first sight, that so-called life-and-death devotion, was dissected so bloodily at this moment, leaving only calculation and greed.
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): But he encountered a problem.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Ah Yin's spirit power was constantly growing, and she was soon to break through level seventy and enter the true maturity stage.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Once she entered the maturity stage, she would be no different from a real human, and Tang Hao would no longer be able to obtain her spirit ring and Spirit Bone through hunting.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Therefore, he had to act before then.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): How could he act to make himself look the most noble, the most innocent, and also gain the greatest benefit?]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): The answer is simple—make Ah Yin "voluntarily" sacrifice herself.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): How to make her voluntary? Naturally, by putting her in a desperate situation, making her feel that besides sacrificing herself, there was no other way to save her "beloved."]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): So, he got Ah Yin pregnant. Right at that most critical moment when she was about to break through level seventy.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Thus, the source aura of the Spirit Beast leaked out, and Spirit Hall "just happened" to discover their tracks.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): At that time, he was already level eighty-nine, only one step away from being a Titled Douluo. Qian Xunji came with people to hunt them down. He pretended to be no match, pretended to be at a dead end, and pushed all the pressure and hope onto Ah Yin.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Finally, the script was performed perfectly.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Ah Yin sacrificed herself, he absorbed the spirit ring and Spirit Bone, reached the heavens in one step, and became the youngest Titled Douluo in the history of the Douluo Continent.]
When Lu Ming's last message was sent.
The entire Chat Group was dead silent.
If it was shock and doubt before.
Then now, it was bone-chilling cold.
A man, for the sake of his own strength, could actually scheme against the person beside him to such an extent.
This was no longer a schemer, but a thorough devil.
A long time passed.
Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy's temporary station.
Ning Rongrong sat by the window of her room, looking at the content in the Chat Group, her small face covered in frost.
[Little Demoness: Yeah, I was very confused. Why didn't the people from the Clear Sky Sect help and chose to stand by? If that's the case, then everything makes sense.]
She had long felt that something was wrong with this matter.
What kind of existence was the Clear Sky Sect?
The number one Sect in the world!
Tang Hao was the Sect's most outstanding genius, the hope for the future, and the Sect Master's own son!
For such a figure to be hunted by Spirit Hall, and the Sect actually chose to do nothing?
This was simply illogical.
Unless, all of this was part of Tang Hao's plan!
He didn't need the Sect to intervene, because once the Sect intervened, his "dead end" act couldn't continue, and how would Ah Yin be "forced" to sacrifice herself?
It turns out it wasn't that the Clear Sky Sect was heartless, but that Tang Hao was too ruthless!
