Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 275: Mist

"The Angelic Heritage..." Ye Bone Yi repeated the words quietly, her expression turning complex.

"I did have a family. Our inherited spirit was the Holy Angel, passed down through generations. But when I was seven, my family was massacred by a group of evil soul masters," Ye Bone Yi said, clenching her fists. Her face became sad as she recalled the blood-soaked memories.

"Massacred by evil soul masters? Tell me more about it," Du Qianjue raised an eyebrow, sensing something amiss.

The Holy Angel Spirit was undoubtedly powerful, certainly more so than the so-called 'Number One Beast Spirit' like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Even if it couldn't regain the glory of the Six-winged Angel, it was still not something a mere offshoot like a dragon could compare with.

Ye Bone Yi mentioned that her family's inherited spirit was the Holy Angel, which meant her family's strength couldn't have been weak. At least one Super Douluo per generation would have been a given.

The Le Zheng family during the era of Douluo 3, not counting those influenced by Tang San's clique, was considered a top-tier powerful family among others.

And suddenly, her family was destroyed by evil soul masters?

Who would believe there wasn't something fishy about that?

Moreover, what's deeply chilling is that a thousand years ago, Tang San and the Tang Sect had uprooted the Spirit Hall, completely severing the Angel God's lineage on Douluo Continent. Yet during the era of Unrivaled Tang Sect, Ye Bone Yi, a descendant of the Holy Angel, ended up joining the Tang Sect and fell in love with the undeserving Huo Yuhao...

Then came the familiar tale of unrequited love. After Huo Yuhao ascended, Ye Bone Yi likely devoted her life to the Tang Sect out of her affection for him.

Ironically enough, doesn't this tactic seem familiar?

Du Qianjue stroked his chin, his eyes flashing with insight, although he knew that speculation without evidence was nothing but conjecture.

But he didn't mind using the worst interpretations when it came to Tang San, even feeling it might still be insufficient.

That little jerk, Tang San, was even willing to kill his own daughter several times, splitting her soul into pieces. What wouldn't he do?

As Du Qianjue waited for Ye Bone Yi to continue, she struggled to find the words.

"I can't remember."

"What?" Du Qianjue was dumbfounded, nearly pulling out his non-existent beard.

He looked at Ye Bone Yi as if she were a fool, his tone filled with exasperation: "Are you kidding me? How could you forget something as traumatic as the annihilation of your clan?"

Ye Bone Yi's face turned red with strain, and she said a bit defensively, "But I couldn't help it. I was only seven at the time. My spirit had just awakened. Surviving the attack of many evil soul masters was hard enough…"

Ignoring Ye Bone Yi's tearful appearance Du Qianjue pressed on, "Then how can you be sure that it was evil soul masters who slaughtered your family?"

"I will never forget the disgusting aura they exuded. Every evil soul master I've encountered has that same despicable aura that makes me long to kill them!" Ye Bone Yi clenched her teeth, her eyes reddening, "If it weren't for my parents shielding me with their bodies and hiding my presence with their last bit of soul power, I would have died in that fire."

Lost in her painful memories, Ye Bone Yi seemed to reflect a sky-high inferno in her eyes, a fire that consumed all her joy and connections.

Her anger and bitterness peaked, and tears rolled down her smooth cheeks. Even her usually warm and sacred demeanor seemed on the brink of falling into corruption.

Wait a minute...

That feeling...?!

Du Qianjue widened his eyes in shock as he noticed the increasingly distorted soul force around Ye Bone Yi.

Holy Angel? To hell with that, she was nearly turning into a Fallen Angel!

The second spirit of Yu Xiaogang from Douluo 3 was the Fallen Angel!

So, was the Ye family Ye Bone Yi's descendants, or was it the Yu family?

If Ye Bone Yi's lineage passed down the Fallen Angel spirit, was Tang San using this as a key to unlocking the Abyssal Plane, starting his scheming here?

Letting Ye Bone Yi first experience the slaughter of her family, then plunging into endless killings and bloody revenge against evil soul masters, and when she was almost numb, introducing Huo Yuhao into her life as a ray of light, only for her to suffer unrequited love and die in misery...

Even if Ye Bone Yi in this generation doesn't turn into a Fallen Angel directly, this hidden danger will definitely be passed down. Just one catalyst, and the menace could erupt completely either in her or in one of her descendants.

Hisss...

"No, I can't think any further. This rabbit hole is too deep!" Du Qianjue immediately clutched his forehead to stop his wild imagination.

It wasn't necessary.

Whatever the original storyline was, since he had arrived in Douluo Continent, all subsequent events had changed, and Ye Bone Yi naturally wouldn't follow her original 'fate'.

So, his previous speculation was irrelevant, just a momentary indulgence in wild theories.

(Du Qianjue: Bravo, what high fantasy!)

As he remembered a certain golden-haired vampire sucking blood, he released his Chaos Dragon King spirit, pumping vast amounts of life and light energy into Ye Bone Yi to stabilize her potentially corrupting Holy Angel Spirit. Du Qianjue´s expression became somewhat speechless.

In this bizarre land of Douluo Continent, it's really not wise to experience too much or delve too deep.

Because it's too fragile under scrutiny.

Although Du Qianjue somewhat disdained Tang San, not really believing that the little jerk had such impressive strategic capabilities, all conspiracy theories seem reasonable when attributed to Tang San...

"Ah, Tang San, you're truly a perfect scapegoat!" Looking at Ye Bone Yi, who had fainted yet again, Du Qianjue muttered somewhat admiringly.

Jerk, you've done enough bad deeds!

Great, another reason to kill Tang San.

Du Qianjue gleefully cradled the unconscious Ye Bone Yi princess-style, pushed open the door, and headed towards the Body Sect's conference room.

The girl had indeed been through too much today. Just now, her long-suppressed hatred had been triggered by Du Qianjue´s words, causing her spirit to nearly darken. After Du Qianjue stabilized it, she relaxed and passed out.

It really made one exclaim:

It's good to be young. Just fall asleep anywhere.

Naturally, there were people in the conference room; Du Qianjue had asked them to wait for him before he left. (End of Chapter)
