Chapter 1507: A Sigh

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He had known that Yuanen Yehui had lived an under-privileged life, yet he never expected it to be so pitiful. As for him, he still had hope that his parents were alive at the very least, while Yuanen Yehui’s mother had already...

Yuanen Yehui’s breathing sounded rushed. She was about to retort but she found herself incapable of refuting at the moment.

Since it involved the Atlas Douluo, it was probably recorded in the history of Shrek Academy. The Holy Spirit Douluo and the Light Dark Douluo would most likely know about the event, more or less. So, Yuanen Yehui could clarify with them. There was no need for Yuanen Zhentian to lie about the matter.

Yet, Yuanen Yehui refused to believe! In her memory, her mother had been so affectionate and gentle. The days she spent with her father and mother when she was young were her happiest.

She found it difficult to open up to others precisely because of the catastrophic change during her younger years!

Everyone had a family to return to during the holidays. When she was at Shrek Academy, she was the child who had no home to return to. It was no longer a home for her without her mother, and she did not even know where her father was imprisoned. Moreover, he was crippled.

After all these years, the misery and anguish were hidden in the depths of her heart. She never told anyone of her suffering. She only learned to open up gradually after undergoing countless dangers with her comrades.

She now knew the reason Yuanen Zhentian wished to take her after listening to his story. It was due to the Fallen Angel martial soul in her body!

Yuanen Zhentian was quiet for a long while before he spoke again, “Ye Hui was aware of the event which took place. She talked about the sequence of events when she awakened. The entire clan was burning in rage at the time. I also inquired from the Atlas Douluo on ways to manage the situation. The Atlas Douluo said that her cultivation base had already broken through to Title Douluo, so there was no way to restrict the opening of the Demon’s Door. In other words, she was already the Demon’s Door. Even if her cultivation base was destroyed, her body would become the opening of the demonic passage.”

“There were only me, the Atlas Douluo, and your parents at the scene when we discussed the matter. They were well aware of the situation at the time. Ye Hui was a good girl. Although I knew she was unwilling to part, she didn’t care about her own safety at the time. She asked the Atlas Douluo if you would face a similar situation had you inherited the Fallen Angel martial soul. The Atlas Douluo told us at the time that there were other ways to seal the Fallen Angel martial soul before one became a Title Douluo. Upon hearing this and without any warning, your mother suddenly committed suicide.”

At this point, tears were already streaming down Yuanen Yehui’s face. “Why is this happening to me? Mother didn’t even say goodbye to me before she left.”

Yuanen Zhentian heaved a sigh. “How could a mother possibly decide rationally after seeing her child? More importantly, it’s because of your father. Tiandang had a fragile heart, yet he was so stubborn when it came to love. He loved her deeply. If she had hesitated even a little, Tiandang would have stopped her from harm. She acted promptly because of you and your father. She had glanced at me before her death. Her gaze was not of enmity but of hope. The hope of entrusting me with the task of protecting your father.”

“Tiandang watched helplessly as your mother was dying. He was in a complete daze. He didn’t bawl nor shout. I could see despair in his gaze. He then proceeded to detonate his soul core, so he could follow your mother. He acted so resolutely. Even though I was prepared to accept your mother’s death, I didn’t manage to stop him from igniting his soul core. The only thing I could do was to isolate him from his soul core. I sealed his cultivation base rapidly with the help of the Atlas Douluo. However, he turned hysterical and became completely mad.”

“He wanted to die so bad hoping that he could leave with your mother. Had it not been for you, had it not been because he still worried over you, I would have been incapable of stopping him. I told him that you had the Fallen Angel martial soul too, which could be sealed and needed protection. Only then did he stop his suicide attempt with great effort. From that day onward, he turned into a zombie. He was no longer Yuanen Tiandang, the first genius of our clan.”

Yuanen Zhentian was filled with pain and agony at the mention of this. Being the father to Yuanen Tiandang, one could only imagine the torment he was in.

“After coming out from the room, I could only mention that your mother chose to commit suicide to avoid becoming the Demon’s Door. Thankfully, the hearts of our clansmen were pacified upon hearing the news. Unfortunately, your father had been crippled by me. He was the one who had brought her into our clan. If I had not said what I said, how could I make the relatives of those thirty-seven deceased clansmen accept the truth?”

“That was what happened then. I believe there should be a record of this in Shrek Academy. We’ve been waiting while you studied in Shrek Academy. Perhaps, it was because you have both the Titan Giant Ape and the Fallen Angel martial souls that your Fallen Angel didn’t affect your willpower. After the destruction of Shrek, we thought you were dead. We didn’t tell your father the news until now. It was not until we watched you during the competition that we realized that you were still alive. Even though you had put on make-up, we recognized the Titan Giant Ape martial soul. Much to our surprise, we discovered that you’ve already achieved an eight-ring cultivation base. You’ve already reached the moment of danger. Thus, you must leave with us so we can seal your Fallen Angel martial soul. Otherwise, you will end up like your mother.”

“I’ve already lost my daughter-in-law and my son. I can’t afford to lose my granddaughter. Even if you’ve never regarded me as your grandfather, in my heart, you’re still my granddaughter. You are just as outstanding as your father. Come, leave with me.”

At this point, Tang Wulin finally understood the whole situation. He could not refrain himself from speaking, “Senior, is there no other way? Yuanen has twin martial souls, not just the Fallen Angel martial soul. Perhaps, it won’t happen again? After all, her Fallen Angel martial soul is not as pure as before.”

Yuanen Zhentian spoke, “We can’t be sure. What if it turns out otherwise? It will result in a great catastrophe. The only way is to completely seal the Fallen Angel before she achieves the Title Douluo-rank. Only then can we be sure that the tragedy won’t repeat itself.”

Yuanen Yehui was a little stunned while Tang Wulin remained silent.

There was no doubt that Tang Wulin was full of sympathy for Yuanen Yehui. Yet, the safety of countless people was at stake. He finally understood why Yuanen Zhentian insisted on taking Yuanen Yehui come what may.

The Amorous Douluo Zang Xin frowned deeply. “Your Excellency, this is truly a troublesome matter. However, I feel that we shouldn’t be rash. Yuanen’s situation is special because of her twin martial souls. Even though she has already achieved breakthrough to an eight-ring cultivation base now, she won’t be advancing to the nine-ring Title Douluo any time soon. Two heads are better than one. Why don’t I invite the rest of the Limit Douluos to assess her situation together? Even if we were to seal it, we should consider all the possible ways without harming her and affecting her cultivation base. What do you think?”

Yuanen Zhentian spoke, “I’ve yet to ask your name, sir.”

Zang Xin answered, “My title is Amorous and I’m under the Tang Sect.”

“You’re the Tang Sect’s Amorous Douluo? Alright. However, we must handle the situation within six months at most. Otherwise, I’m afraid that even she will be incapable of controlling her martial soul’s elevation when she has achieved a certain level.” Yuanen Zhentian did not pursue the matter further. After all, he had lost to Tang Wulin.
