Chapter 65: Do You Know Your Child Is Actually Dead? (3)
"This is just your one-sided claim. You said the Spirit Hall discovered Brother Hao and me because of his father's conspiracy. Do you have any proof? If not, I won't believe you."
Although Ah Yin found it strange that Tang Hao had suddenly taken her to Lanxia City, she still partially believed Su Mo's words.
But to ensure that Su Mo wouldn't destroy her relationship with Tang Hao, Ah Yin tried to remain calm and said with a composed, beautiful face:
"Haha."
However, Su Mo suddenly laughed.
"I'm very sorry, Sister Yin, but I do have proof!"
"Back then, thanks to your sacrifice, Tang Hao broke through to Title Douluo. In the end, to escape, Tang Hao detonated all nine of his soul rings and killed the Pope Qian Xunji of our Spirit Hall."
"So, Spirit Hall took revenge on the Clear Sky Sect last night and completely destroyed it."
"And coincidentally, in that battle, I killed Tang Zhen. Right now, Tang Zhen's body is in my hands."
"As for how I know that you and Tang Hao were discovered by Spirit Hall because of Tang Zhen's conspiracy—it's because I obtained Tang Zhen's memories and learned it from them."
"—What?!"
When Ah Yin heard Su Mo's words and learned that the Clear Sky Sect had been destroyed, her usually serene and graceful face changed dramatically, filled with shock.
But soon, Ah Yin regained her composure, took a deep breath, and said:
"I didn't expect Brother Hao to avenge me. You said you killed his father. Let's suppose that's true."
"But isn't that a good thing for me? If what you said about Brother Hao's father plotting against us is true, then now that he's dead, there's no need for me to seek revenge."
Seeing Ah Yin's reaction, Su Mo's expression became even more playful.
Since he had decided to tell Ah Yin about the death of Tang Zhen—the true culprit—he had naturally anticipated her response.
If Tang Zhen had merely caused Tang Hao and Ah Yin to be discovered and forced into danger, it would be difficult to make Ah Yin turn against Tang Hao now, especially since she had already given birth to Tang San and Tang Zhen was already dead.
That's why Su Mo never intended to rely solely on this fact to drive a wedge between them. Instead, he planned to use his Memory Modification System to alter or plant memories and eliminate Tang Hao.
And now that Su Mo had dared to tell Ah Yin about Tang Zhen's death, it meant—
Su Mo was confident he could sow discord little by little and make Ah Yin turn against Tang Hao.
And the key to doing that was very simple:
Through "Tang San"!
For a married woman, the countless NTR stories Su Mo had read in his previous life had taught him that making a woman change her heart wasn't hard.
Especially for someone like Ah Yin, who had a natural rift with Tang Hao due to his father's betrayal.
However, the existence of their child made Ah Yin's tolerance and resistance infinitely stronger. As long as "Tang San" existed, it would be nearly impossible to shake her.
But what if "Tang San" was actually dead?
In fact, "Tang San" really was dead!
Su Mo had seen it with his own eyes when he secretly followed Qian Xunji and the Spirit Hall pursuers during their chase of Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
The newborn "Tang San" was very weak.
In the beginning, during the pursuit, as Spirit Hall soul masters constantly launched attacks at Tang Hao, the noise made the baby cry nonstop.
But on the way, Su Mo suddenly noticed that "Tang San" had stopped crying.
Thanks to his Death Scythe Martial Soul, Su Mo was extremely sensitive to death and souls. At that moment, he clearly sensed that the baby's soul had died.
But right after that, another soul descended into the baby's body, reviving it.
Originally, Su Mo had always believed Tang San was just a reincarnated fetus.
But after witnessing that moment, he realized: Tang San wasn't simply reincarnated—he was a soul transplant. His soul had entered the body only after the child born of Tang Hao and Ah Yin had died.
This could explain why the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline in Tang San never awakened on its own and only would later, thanks to the Blue Silver King in the Great Star Dou Forest.
"Sister Yin, even though Tang Zhen is dead, now that I'm telling you this, don't you think he was the reason you and Tang Hao were discovered by Spirit Hall?"
"But there's something you might not have realized yet, Sister Yin: when you and Tang Hao were fleeing from Spirit Hall—your child was already dead!"
Seeing that Ah Yin was unbothered by Tang Zhen's betrayal, Su Mo smirked coldly and revealed the cruel truth without hesitation.
"My child is dead? That's impossible! You're lying!"
The moment Su Mo said that, Ah Yin's previously calm and beautiful face lost its composure. She clenched her fists and shouted in anger.
As the saying goes: "Every dragon has its reverse scale; touch it, and you die."
For a mother, that reverse scale was her child.
No matter what Su Mo had said to stir up discord between her and Tang Hao, Ah Yin could remain composed.
But the moment Su Mo said her child was dead—she couldn't take it.
But would Su Mo be afraid of Ah Yin's anger?
Seeing her reaction, Su Mo only grew more delighted.
A calm and kind Ah Yin was no threat—but anger meant he'd struck a nerve.
And only through anger could he generate hatred. Only through that hatred could he truly separate Ah Yin from Tang Hao—and finally, make her his.
"Do you really think I'm lying? But Sister Yin, think about it: how fragile is a newborn? You and Tang Hao were fleeing for a long time while being hunted by Spirit Hall."
"Even though Tang Hao did everything he could to fend off the Spirit Hall soul masters, and you tried your best to protect the baby from their attacks—do you really think your soul power held out?"
"Besides, you were only a Spirit Emperor, and the ones pursuing you were all Spirit Saints or higher."
"Facing such powerful enemies, even the residual impact from their soul skills would affect your child."
"Didn't you notice? While you were running, the baby in your arms cried and cried—and then suddenly went completely silent."
Looking at the beautiful woman who could no longer remain calm, Su Mo sneered and revealed the cruel truth with a mocking tone.
Then, to prove his words, Su Mo suddenly shifted the illusion—recreating the scene where Qian Xunji led his people to chase after Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
"No! That's impossible! That's impossible! You must be lying to me! How could my child be dead?! He must have just fallen asleep—he must be sleeping!"
Standing in the very spot Su Mo once had, watching from a distance as the child in her arms suddenly stopped crying, Ah Yin's delicate body began to tremble. Her mature, beautiful face turned pale, and she cried out uncontrollably.
