[Tang Hao's slightly trembling body, in Tang Xiao's eyes, was his younger brother's anger towards Yu Xiaogang.]
[This was normal; after all, his younger brother had always been very competitive and never forgot to uphold the glory of the Sect.]
[Yet he had been defeated at the hands of Yu Xiaogang—defeated at the Rank of Spirit Emperor by Yu Xiaogang, who was only a Spirit Ancestor at the time.]
[This was an unprecedented, humiliating disgrace, and his younger brother had been devastated by this crushing defeat for several years.]
[Therefore, Tang Xiao understood his younger brother's current anger very well.]
[Unfortunately, Tang Xiao had no idea what Tang Hao was feeling at that moment.]
[In fact, even Tang Hao did not understand why he felt fear when facing Yu Xiaogang.]
[Just as Tang Hao was at a loss due to the fear in his heart, a gentle voice reached his ears.]
["Brother Hao, calm down, let's look at the situation here first."]
[Hearing this voice, Tang Hao temporarily pushed aside thoughts of battle and turned his gaze to his side.]
["Mm, I understand. Protect yourself, Ah Yin."]
[Hearing this, the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast named Ah Yin smiled brightly.]
[That smile made Tang Hao's heart pound.]
[Yu Xiaogang, who was still in a standoff not far away, saw this scene, and his expression suddenly became somewhat strange.]
[Looking at Tang Hao, it was clear they did not know this person was a Hundred Thousand Year Metamorphosed Spirit Beast.]
[It made sense; the other party was already a mature Hundred Thousand Year Metamorphosed Spirit Beast. If not for his outstanding Mental Energy and having seen a Hundred Thousand Year Metamorphosed Spirit Beast with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have been able to see through the other party's true form either.]
[That made things interesting.]
[Tang Hao and Tang Xiao couldn't see through the true form of this individual named Ah Yin, and as they continued to spend time together, their feelings for each other would only deepen.]
[Yu Xiaogang knew all too well where people who accompanied each other through life-and-death crises would eventually end up.]
[They would either become the closest of siblings or eventually become a family.]
[And looking at the way the three of them interacted, it was clear that this Hundred Thousand Year Metamorphosed Spirit Beast already held significant weight in the hearts of Tang Hao and his brother.]
[If things continued to develop this way, it probably wouldn't be long before this Hundred Thousand Year Metamorphosed Spirit Beast became the wife of one of these two brothers.]
["Hiss, thinking about it like this, isn't this between a human and a beast?"]
[Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang gave Bibi Dong a rather complex look, recalling the rumors Bibi Dong had heard back then.]
[He hadn't expected those rumors to actually come true.]
[Bibi Dong, being stared at by Yu Xiaogang with a strange look, returned his gaze with confusion, having no idea what this guy was thinking about at that moment.]
[Meanwhile, Tang Xiao began to question the group about the situation in Shemei Village.]
["What exactly is going on in this village?"]
["Why is the ground covered in intact corpses? What have you done?"]
[His suspicious gaze made it seem as if everything before them had been done by Yu Xiaogang and his group.]
[Bibi Dong was just about to say that a Fallen Spirit Master had appeared here and that Spirit Hall would take responsibility for everything.]
[However, before she could speak, Yu Xiaogang stepped in first.]
["What goes on here has nothing to do with you."]
["It seems our relationship isn't good enough that we have to tell you everything, right?"]
["If you know what's good for you, get lost. Don't delay our business here!"]
[Yu Xiaogang said unceremoniously.]
[Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei all turned their gazes toward Yu Xiaogang.]
[They didn't quite understand why Yu Xiaogang would say things that would obviously provoke the other party.]
[This didn't seem like his personality, did it?]
[However, provoking the other party was exactly what Yu Xiaogang wanted.]
[He wanted to see what the situation was with this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast in front of him.]
[Nothing could reveal more than seeing it in battle.]
[And things did not exceed Yu Xiaogang's expectations; after his words were spoken, Tang Xiao was, as expected, furious.]
["Presumptuous! My Clear Sky Sect is, at the very least, a righteous Sect; it is impossible for us to turn a blind eye to such a tragedy that wiped out an entire village."]
["Or is it that this tragedy was committed by you, which is why you dare not say anything more?"]
[Tang Xiao put on a righteous appearance, as if he were some kind of noble and upright character.]
[However, although the Clear Sky Sect had various problems, when it came to dealing with Fallen Spirit Masters, they could indeed be called a righteous Sect.]
["Tsk, what if I just don't want to tell you? What's it to you? Want to fight?"]
["It just so happens that your younger brother was defeated by me back then, and now you, the older brother, will also be defeated by me. In this way, both of the clear sky twin stars will have been defeated by me."]
[Yu Xiaogang circulated his Soul Power, and the little dragon appeared by his side, roaring aggressively at Tang Xiao.]
[Although, given his appearance, this aggressive display only made people find it cute.]
[But everyone present, including Ah Yin, who had only heard of Yu Xiaogang's exploits, did not dare to underestimate the little guy.]
[Especially Tang Hao; seeing the little dragon appear, his whole body trembled even more violently.]
["You are courting death!"]
[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang Xiao was instantly enraged and rushed toward Yu Xiaogang, wielding his Clear Sky Hammer.]
[Tang Hao's defeat at the hands of Yu Xiaogang was a humiliation the Sect had been unwilling to mention for years.]
[Of course, not mentioning it didn't mean the matter didn't exist. Although no one in the Sect spoke of it, the strange looks from Sect members toward the two brothers spoke volumes.]
[Those who had once been defeated by the two brothers now cast gloating looks at them.]
[The followers who once admired the two brothers most now looked at them with disappointment.]
[Even the Sect Elders, while still gentle toward them, began to voice doubts that had never been heard before.]
[Everything had changed, and the culprit behind it all was Yu Xiaogang.]
[Back then, watching his younger brother's devastated state, Tang Xiao had sworn in his heart that he would make Yu Xiaogang pay the price sooner or later.]
[Now that Yu Xiaogang had said such things again, how could Tang Xiao not be angry?]
[And what Yu Xiaogang wanted was for Tang Xiao to be angry.]
[Furthermore, he wanted to make the others angry as well.]
[The next second, as Yu Xiaogang circulated his Soul Power, spirit rings gradually appeared around him.]
[The five spirit rings—purple, purple, black, black, black—did not surprise Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, and Ah Yin did not pay much attention at first.]
[But when the sixth spirit ring appeared, Tang Hao's mouth hung open, Tang Xiao stumbled, and Ah Yin's previously indifferent face finally showed astonishment.]
["A 100,000-year sixth spirit ring!!"]
[Tang Xiao roared in disbelief.]
[How is this possible?]
[After the battle with Yu Xiaogang, the Clear Sky Sect had thought that Yu Xiaogang's future strength would be very high and that he would certainly have 100,000-year soul rings.]
[But according to their projections, Yu Xiaogang would have at most two 100,000-year soul rings.]
[Yet now, his sixth spirit ring was already 100,000 years old.]
[What kind of joke is this?!]
[Seeing this scene, the memory of Tang Hao's defeat at the hands of Yu Xiaogang became even clearer in his mind.]
[As for Ah Yin, her face revealed an expression of anger mixed with sorrow.]
[It seemed like she was angry because of Yu Xiaogang's provocation, but Yu Xiaogang, who had been watching her from beginning to end, could not have been mistaken—these expressions only appeared after he revealed his 100,000-year soul ring.]
[It was clear that she was angry and grieving for the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast that had "died" at the hands of Yu Xiaogang.]
