Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 71 Three Questions

Yali's bow was so humble and sincere that one could truly feel the guilt and sadness deep in her heart.

But when the people of Saga City heard that the instigator of this Wind Death Plague was someone from the Spirit Hall, and that Ya Li was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, the atmosphere in the room immediately plummeted to freezing point, and the entire place fell silent.

Some were burning with rage because their family members had died from the wind, but were intimidated by the status of the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and dared not speak out; others were curious because the matter involved the Spirit Hall, but the occasion was inappropriate, so they waited to see what would happen; some had families who were at peace and admired Ya Li for taking the initiative to take responsibility, but because they still had to live in Saga City, they could not speak out; and there were also believers of the Angel God who were excited to see the Angel Spirit. And so on, a variety of thoughts!

Aside from the people of Saga City, Yun Ming and Yang Wutian also paled upon hearing Ya Li's background. Yun Ming was slightly better off, though his mind was in turmoil. But Yang Wutian was absolutely furious; he clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his arms bulging, revealing his inner rage.

Yang Wutian had been somewhat suspicious when he first saw Ya Li use her spirit. While Ya Li's Prayer Angel and the Qian family's Six-Winged Angel spirits differed in aura and appearance, their pure and noble qualities were quite similar. It was only because the Qian family had never heard of anyone mutating their spirit over so many generations, and Ya Li's spirit ability was healing—completely different from the combat spirit of the Six-Winged Angel, that Yang Wutian suppressed his doubts. Now, hearing that Ya Li came from the Spirit Hall, how could he remain indifferent!

Upon hearing Ya Li's self-destruction, Elder An rushed to her side to prevent anyone from harming her in anger. Feng Dianchen, who had harbored suspicions when he first saw Ya Li's spirit, now that she had publicly represented the Spirit Hall, deeply regretted his actions and knelt before her, begging for forgiveness.

"The sinner Feng Dianchen greets the Holy Maiden!"

"Feng Xian has committed such a grave offense; it is a serious dereliction of duty on my part as his adoptive father and temple master. I beg the Holy Maiden to punish me!"

Yali ignored Feng Dianchen and turned back to continue speaking to the residents of Saga City.

"The mastermind behind this incident, Feng Xian, the adopted son of the Hall Master of the Martial Soul Hall in Saga City, has been killed."

"The Spirit Hall will bear all responsibility for the personnel and property losses caused by Feng Xian, and will do our best to compensate everyone!"

At this point, Ya Li turned around and glanced at Feng Dianchen, then said in a deep voice without any expression.

"Finally, regarding the crimes committed by the Saga City Martial Soul Main Hall, I will report to the Papal Court and request the Pope to conduct a thorough investigation and make a judgment! No innocent soul will be allowed to die in vain; this will be a closure for everyone!"

After finishing her explanation, Yali bowed to everyone again.

"I'm so sorry!"

After he finished speaking, although no one responded, the atmosphere eased considerably.

When Duke Xavier saw that Yali had said everything she could and couldn't say, he hurriedly offered her a way out. After all, his achievements were tied to Yun Ming and Yali, and he had an unexpected opportunity to recognize a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall as his boss.

"The Holy Maiden is righteous and noble, and the Spirit Hall is willing to take responsibility, but we also hope that she will keep her word!"

When their leader spoke, his men, naturally understanding the situation, began to stir things up among the crowd. Those who weren't particularly hostile towards the Spirit Hall and admired Ya Li's actions, as well as followers of the Angel God, chimed in when someone spoke up.

"Your Highness, you are truly wise and understanding!"

"That scumbag Feng Xian is a disgrace to the Spirit Hall!"

"."

Such and so on.

Hearing the generally positive response from the people of Saga City, and the renewed surge of faith flowing towards her, Yali felt grateful and rose to respond, while also feeling somewhat fortunate.

While Ya Li's apology and remorse were genuine, she also had other motives. Many people now knew the mastermind was from the Spirit Hall, and it was only a matter of time before the news spread. Her initiative could help salvage the Spirit Hall's credibility.

Moreover, this matter is not without its benefits. The current Spirit Hall is very similar to Shrek Academy in Ya Li's previous life. Both have developed to the point of being "prosperous and flourishing," but they also have many internal problems. The biggest problem is the corruption of some people within the Spirit Hall.

However, the Spirit Hall is too important to the entire Douluo Continent. If its reputation is severely damaged, it will trigger many chain reactions.

Therefore, Yali can also use this method to send a warning to the one in the Papal Palace.

After a long while, Duke Xavier saw that Yali had bowed and apologized enough, and that Yang Wutian's face was getting darker and darker, so he quickly arranged for the people to leave. He and his men also left quickly, leaving the venue to Yun Ming and Yali's people.

Seeing Yun Ming and Yang Wutian's rather pale faces, Ya Li also felt a bit of a headache. She had been busy with matters concerning Saga City and hadn't revealed her identity, so she hadn't thought about this issue for the time being.

Who knew that the person behind the scenes was from the Spirit Hall, forcing Ya Li to reveal her identity. Now, the conflict between the Broken Clan and the Spirit Hall is suddenly in front of her, and she doesn't know what to do.

The first to speak was Yang Wutian, who coldly glanced at Ya Li, Elder An, and the kneeling Feng Dianchen, and snorted coldly.

"snort!"

"Ming'er, let's go! She's not right for you!"

After saying that, Yang Wutian walked out of the city without looking back. Yun Ming did not move; he was still thinking.

Yali was also a little confused at this moment, and she didn't know what the right thing to do was.

Seeing that Yun Ming didn't move, Elder An wanted to see his reaction. If Yun Ming showed hostility towards the Spirit Hall, he would return to the Spirit Hall and directly report to the Judgment Elder, requesting the Elder to take action and kill Yun Ming. There are some people who cannot be used by me, but can only be killed by me, and Yun Ming is that kind of person.

Yang Wutian didn't hear Yun Ming behind him, and his anger could no longer be contained. He shouted at Yun Ming.

"Yun Ming!"

"What are you still hesitating for!"

"The Spirit Hall has a blood feud with my clan; your parents died at their hands! Have you forgotten?!"

Upon hearing the reprimand, Yun Ming looked at Yang Wutian with clear eyes and spoke.

"Fifth Grandfather, I haven't forgotten!"

"Even the deepest hatred must either be let go or resolved; there has to be a conclusion!"

"I have a few more questions to ask."

Ignoring Yang Wutian's reaction, she looked at Ya Li with a firm yet apprehensive gaze and asked.

"Can you answer a few questions for me?"

Even though Yun Ming has regained his memories, there are still some things that Shrek Academy's records don't contain at all. For example, who is Tang San's mother, and why the Spirit Hall launched the war—there's no detailed information recorded.

Furthermore, much of the information has been embellished or omitted due to differing viewpoints. Therefore, while real events in Shrek Academy can be used as a reference, Yun Ming doesn't believe a single word of their judgments on good and evil.

Just like Yun Ming's understanding of the Spirit Hall in this life, and the rampant evil spirit masters in later generations, and the high threshold for spirit awakening ten thousand years later, from these aspects, the Spirit Hall's achievements far outweigh its faults! So, the Sea God Tang San destroyed the Spirit Hall for his own selfish desires!

With Tang Shenwang as a cautionary tale, Yun Ming must be careful in handling his attitude towards the Spirit Hall!

Seeing the familiar determination in Yun Ming's eyes, Ya Li's confusion vanished, and she spoke calmly.

"sure."

Yun Ming nodded and asked the first question.

Was Chihiro really critically injured and on the verge of death?

After regaining his memories, Yun Ming knew very well how vigorous the life force of a level 95 Super Douluo with a six-winged angel martial soul was. He was now somewhat unsure whether Qian Xunji had died from severe injuries that were beyond saving.

Yali nodded in affirmation.

"Indeed, this is a fact that everyone in the entire worship hall has personally witnessed!"

Yun Ming was somewhat surprised by the answer, but since so many Super Douluo in the Hall of Offerings had examined it, it couldn't be wrong. He could only conclude that Qian Xunji was probably quite weak, possessing great cultivation but lacking substance. Yun Ming continued to ask.

Why did Tang Hao kill Qian Xunji back then?

Upon hearing this question, Yali's expression became somewhat strange. She had been stunned when she first heard the answer, and she said in a rather eerie tone.

"This is because back then, Pope Qianxunji discovered that Tang Hao's wife was a 100,000-year-old soul beast and wanted to capture her. Later, seeing that they had nowhere to escape, Tang Hao's wife directly sacrificed herself to Tang Hao, who had reached level 90, hoping that he could live with their child! After that, a great battle broke out, and the Pope was on the verge of death! And then the rest of the story unfolded!"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Upon hearing Yali's answer, everyone else present felt as if they had been struck by lightning.

Yun Ming was also somewhat surprised. He knew that some families in later generations had soul beast bloodlines, but he didn't expect Tang Hao to be such a ruthless person. His concept was more than 20,000 years ahead of their time! The concept of their time was only to protect the rare species of soul beasts. They were not so open-minded as to sacrifice themselves to help continue the bloodline of soul beasts.

Elder An and the other subordinates of the Spirit Hall still thought Tang Hao was just really hungry! Yang Wutian was furious when he heard this. Did they fight to the death for this kind of trash back then?! Yang Wutian gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Tang Hao, you brat, you're not a human being! You're not a human being!!!"

"As long as I live, I will fight this bastard to the death!!!"

What Tang Hao did in this era was like seeing a pig, not thinking about eating the pork, but thinking about marrying the pig and having children. It was too outrageous and too unconventional! This made Yang Wutian feel that the loyalty that the Po clan had misplaced back then had been completely trampled into the mud and made worthless.

Seeing Yang Wutian glaring and bristling with anger, almost fuming, Yun Ming was afraid that Yang Wutian might get seriously injured from anger, so he quickly stepped forward to persuade him.

"Fifth Grandfather, calm down, calm down! We have a lead on Tang Hao; we'll get rid of him sooner or later!"

Hearing Yun Ming's advice, Yang Wutian came to his senses, grabbed Yun Ming's arm tightly, and said to Yun Ming with a ferocious expression.

"Ming'er, if you ever have the chance to kill Tang Hao, you must spare my life. I can't sleep at night without tormenting this bastard!"

"As long as you can make this old man happy, I will support you in marrying Yali in the future, and I will even help you negotiate with the tribe!"

Yun Ming: "Uh~, okay!"

Ya Li gave Yun Ming a strange look, as if to say, "So this is your plan, a transfer of hatred?"

Although Yun Ming hadn't initially intended this, now that things had come to this, why not? She then slowly winked at Ya Li, indicating, "That's right!"

Finally, Yunming asked one last question with some trepidation.

"Yali, are you Qian Xunji's daughter?"

Hearing this question, Yang Wutian leaned closer to listen. Although he had said those things earlier, he still didn't want Yun Ming to marry his enemy's daughter.

Yali didn't answer directly, but instead asked a question with a curious look on her face.

"What if it is? And what if it isn't?"

Yun Ming replied domineeringly.

"If so, and if you're willing, I will infiltrate the Spirit Hall within ten years and take you away!!!"

Hearing this answer, Ya Li thought of their past. Yun Ming had done something similar back then, except his opponent was the War God Hall, which could rival the Spirit Hall in later generations. Ya Li asked again.

"What if it isn't?"

Yun Ming smiled.

"If not, I will propose marriage. If the Spirit Hall doesn't agree, I'll take her away!"

Hearing both answers, Old An muttered to himself, "So you're just kidding, no matter what you say, you're always going to try and steal her away!" Yang Wutian, after hearing this, understood Yun Ming's determination about the matter and could only pray that Ya Li wasn't Qian Xunji's daughter.

Although Yali muttered something like "how barbaric," everyone could see how happy she was. All they heard was her reply.

"I am not Qian Xunji's daughter, I don't even have the surname Qian!"

Everyone: "???"

Angelic Martial Soul doesn't have the surname Qian? They hadn't heard of that before. Ya Li gestured for Elder An to silence the onlookers and continue explaining.

"I am a descendant of another lineage left behind by the Angel God, and I have virtually no blood relation to the Qian family. It was because of my talent that my family sent me to the Spirit Hall for training!"

Yun Ming and the others understood; so that's how it is!

Yunming said this to Yali at the end.

"Based on what I understand so far, my attitude towards the Spirit Hall is..."

P.S.: Let's leave Ya Li's identity as it is! After all, they both have memories; it's not some "enemy's daughter falls in love with me" kind of story. They fell in love first, then their identities came together. Using their present-life identities to hinder their past-life and present-life romance? That's unrealistic. Yun Ming will avenge his grudge against the Spirit Hall, but he won't kill indiscriminately.
