Otherwise,
how would Bibi Dong rule Spirit Hall in the future?
Bearing the title of the biggest traitor,
even if people didn't dare to say much,
they would definitely be unconvinced.
Thinking this, she also looked up, her gaze falling upon the heavenly curtain above her head.
Fortunately, this time, the heavenly curtain did not keep them in suspense.
On the heavenly curtain, streams of light flowed.
Soon, it began to explain to everyone present the reason for calling Bibi Dong a 'traitor'.
The first and most important reason was naturally Bibi Dong's dark past.
That is, Bibi Dong was misled by Yu Xiaogang back then.
For the sake of so-called love, she directly chose to elope.
She actually cast the entire Spirit Hall aside.
As the Holy Maiden cultivated by Spirit Hall with countless resources, she was almost the designated successor to the next Supreme Pontiff.
Yet, she chose to leave Spirit Hall just like that.
Indeed, no matter how one looked at it, she deserved the title of 'traitor'.
Even Bibi Dong's closest confidants, who fully supported her, could not refute this point.
However, although they could not refute it,
they still felt somewhat unconvinced in their hearts.
After all, the main point of Bibi Dong's question this time was the primary reason that led to Spirit Hall's eventual establishment as a nation, which ended in failure.
It made no sense that Bibi Dong's impulsive betrayal of Spirit Hall for love more than ten years ago
would affect Spirit Hall's grand ambition to unify the World later on.
To many fanatical members of Spirit Hall, this seemed a bit far-fetched.
However, before they could even voice their complaints,
the heavenly curtain had already anticipated their reaction.
Lines of text appeared.
It began to explain various relevant details to the people present once more.
It explained in great detail why the betrayal back then was the main reason for Spirit Hall's eventual failure in establishing a nation.
The most important point was that this betrayal
created an irreparable rift between Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong, master and disciple.
Not only did it indirectly lead to Bibi Dong's tragic fate,
but it also laid the groundwork for Qian Xunji's ultimate death at Bibi Dong's hands.
And Qian Xunji's sudden death
led to the inability of Spirit Hall's power to be transferred normally.
As a result, even to this day,
Spirit Hall has fallen into an extremely serious state of internal strife.
Internally, the two factions, one led by Bibi Dong and the other by the Elder Palace, are clearly divided, with neither willing to submit to the other.
This internal strife prevented Spirit Hall, despite having the largest number of commoner Spirit Masters in the entire continent, from fully utilizing its strength.
This also led to Spirit Hall, after establishing its nation in the later period, being unable to directly destroy either the Heaven Dou or Star Luo Empires.
The situation could only fall into a stalemate.
And this stalemate gave the opposing side the opportunity to attack from both front and back, defeating them one by one.
...
The text on the heavenly curtain slowly appeared.
Every word seemed ordinary.
But this time, upon seeing these words,
the gossiping masses of the entire Douluo Continent were stunned.
They were deeply shocked by the massive amount of information revealed between the lines.
They truly racked their brains but never imagined that the future direction of the entire Douluo Continent would be like this.
"So… the establishment of the Spirit Empire has been confirmed?"
"The Battle of Jialing Pass, shown in the initial heavenly curtain preview, was a life-and-death struggle between the Spirit Empire and the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires?"
"My goodness, is this Spirit Hall's thousand-year plan? What immense ambition!"
"Bibi Dong, this woman… she's so fierce. How can she be both tragic and fierce?"
"Indeed, after all that, in our World, it's not Yu Xiaogang, but she and Yu Chen who have the same script. They both want to unify the entire Douluo Continent. But honestly, she seems much more tragic than Yu Chen…"
"Who says she isn't? Not only did she fail in the end, but she gained nothing. Her life's circumstances compared to Yu Chen's are simply heaven and earth apart."
"However, I think it's normal for them to have such a huge gap. As the old saying goes, a just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust cause finds little. Compared to Yu Chen, Bibi Dong's actions and character are indeed too extreme.
Her eventual outcome, opposite to Yu Chen's,
honestly, was truly within my expectations."
Someone, thinking of the difference between the two, began to analyze enthusiastically.
However, his analytical words had just come out when he was interrupted again by the crowd around him, who reminded him:
"No, why do you still have time to focus on that? Is that the main point of the heavenly curtain's words this time? Please, look closely. The focus should be the cause of death of the former Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji, right?"
"Yes, didn't they say the former Supreme Pontiff died at the hands of Clear Sky Douluo? Why does the heavenly curtain say Bibi Dong killed him?"
"So, after all that, Clear Sky Douluo was just a scapegoat."
"Emmm, although it sounds shocking, when I think about it carefully, I don't know why, but I actually have a high degree of acceptance for this result, and even feel it's somehow reasonable. What's going on?"
"It's normal. I was puzzled before when I saw Tang Hao's slovenly appearance. How could someone like him successfully kill the former Supreme Pontiff? After all, the former Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji, was a long-renowned Level 95 attack system Douluo. Even if he couldn't defeat Tang Hao, escaping should have been no problem."
"No wonder Spirit Hall is constantly in conflict. So, power was not transferred normally."
Everyone murmured to themselves, all looking enlightened.
While they were enlightened,
inside Shrek Academy, Tang Hao, upon seeing this scene, felt greatly struck, his face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.
Although because of the assassination of the former Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji,
Tang Hao was placed on Spirit Hall's kill list,
in truth, he was secretly pleased about it.
After all, assassinating the Supreme Pontiff, or rather, killing the Supreme Pontiff, was to some extent an affirmation of his strength, and the origin of his Clear Sky Douluo's prestige.
It was also because of this reputation that, even though he was nominally expelled from the Clear Sky Sect, within the Clear Sky Sect, especially among the younger generation, he was still highly revered.
After all, strong individuals are respected everywhere.
Every time Tang Hao thought about it,
although he was pained by Spirit Hall's actions and saddened by Ah Yin's death,
he couldn't help but feel proud and complacent about the combat power he had unleashed.
However, now you tell him that all of this was fake.
The immense disparity between before and after naturally made Tang Hao feel exceptionally difficult to accept.
He even looked back at the years he spent being hunted by Spirit Hall, constantly hiding.
He truly felt like he had become a complete joke.
So, after all that, all the glorious achievements were fake?
Not only did he lose his wife, but he also foolishly took the blame for someone else for so many years?
Damn it.
Is there any justice left?
Spirit Hall just picks on an honest person like me and bullies him to death, right?!
"Spirit Hall!"
"If I don't destroy you in this life, I, Tang Hao, swear not to be human!"
What does it mean to get angrier the more you think about it?
This was truly getting angrier the more he thought about it.
Finally, he gritted his teeth.
These words
were truly squeezed out from between Tang Hao's teeth.
Seeing him like this,
Yu Xiaogang's lips moved slightly, but he uncharacteristically said nothing more.
In his eyes, there was even a faint hint of sympathy.
Yes, you did not misread, it was sympathy. Some people watch a joke, others look in a mirror.
And Yu Xiaogang was clearly the latter.
This time, the more he watched Tang Hao's actions, the more he felt they were extremely similar to his own earlier.
With this thought, how could he mock the other party?
He even began to feel fortunate that Tang Hao existed in this World.
What is the best way to comfort an unfortunate person?
It is to show him someone even more unfortunate.
And Tang Hao was clearly that more unfortunate person than him.
After all, Yu Xiaogang's misfortune, in many cases, was self-inflicted.
It was his own laziness and self-sabotage, but Tang Hao was completely different.
This guy genuinely, inexplicably, took the blame for someone for decades.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang, while feeling sympathetic, felt even better.
He actively stepped forward and patted Tang Hao's shoulder.
He thanked him there.
"Thank you, Tang Hao, I feel much better."
