Chapter 400: If He Has Done Nothing Wrong, Why Does He Feel Guilty?_1

Hao Tian Sect was situated in the Tiandou Empire, on a mountain peak three hundred miles away from Tiandou City.

This peak had no pavilions or terraced towers; on the contrary, it was dominated by a castle-like structure that occupied the entire mountaintop.

Ever since Martial Soul Hall ground them into the earth, causing the loss of three Titled Douluo and dealing a major blow to their vitality, the Hao Tian Sect had faded into silence; its disciples barely made any public appearances on the Continent.

All of the Hao Tian Sect's branch forces were pruned, leaving only the main lineage disciples to remain secluded within Hao Tian Peak.

At this moment, in a courtyard,

Tang Hao sat in a specially-made wheelchair, his eyes blank as he stared at the distant sky, feeling as dead as stagnant water inside.

Tang Hao's limbs had each been broken by Xu Ran, who even twisted the meridians in the remaining limbs, rendering Tang Hao a complete invalid.

Despite having a terrifying reserve of Soul Power, he could no longer lift his own Martial Soul, the Hao Tian Hammer.

"Xiao Hao, are you daydreaming again? What on earth happened back then? Why have you suffered such terrible injuries? Was it Martial Soul Hall who laid their hands on you?" Tang Xiao, the current Sect Master of Hao Tian Sect, looked at his brother with white hair before him, his heart aching tremendously.

It was hard to imagine that this was once the most outstanding genius of the Hao Tian Sect, the proud and haughty little brother.

"Martial Soul Hall? Heh..." Tang Hao's face was bitter, his once handsome features now appearing extremely aged.

His heart was filled with intense regret, hating not Martial Soul Hall most, but Xu Ran!

Moreover, he now harbored an ominous premonition, which was growing stronger and made him somewhat afraid.

Ah Yin, sacrificed because of his actions back then.

Now that Ah Yin was still alive, he knew that one day she would come for him, and when that time came, it would all be over for him, everything would be over.

"Xiao Hao, say something. Even if it was Martial Soul Hall, what of it? We need to pull ourselves together and take revenge on Martial Soul Hall," said Tang Xiao, as a beautiful figure surfaced in his mind.

It was the figure of Ah Yin.

Dressed in a long blue gown with a white kitchen apron tied around her, she bent over working busily in the kitchen.

Her slender waist, long legs, and the well-rounded curves of her buttocks all exuded a tantalizing allure.

He had thought that with Ah Yin together with Tang Hao, she would become his sister-in-law, and he could bury his feelings for Ah Yin. But he found he could not do it; rather, his feelings for Ah Yin deepened because she was with Tang Hao.

Many times, he would seek out Ah Yin intentionally or otherwise. Each time he saw Ah Yin's ripe and full figure, he found it impossible to resist.

Now, Ah Yin was killed by people from Martial Soul Hall, and he hated them to the bone.

In his heart, Ah Yin was like an angel, a sacred and perfect being, yet someone had the heart to harm her, which was infuriating to the point of madness.

If his strength hadn't been so inferior, he would have long since gone to Martial Soul Hall to fight them to the death.

"Those involved in the ambush and murder of Ah Yin, I won't let a single one of them go. These beasts will be torn to pieces one day," Tang Xiao spoke, his gaze turning ice-cold. Each time he thought of Ah Yin's tragic state, his heart ached.

Sitting in the wheelchair, Tang Hao felt an agonizing twist of pain in his heart as he heard Tang Xiao's angry words, wishing he could bury himself on the spot. If Tang Xiao knew that it was he who deliberately exposed Ah Yin, causing her to be sacrificed for him, he probably would no longer acknowledge him as his brother.

Having reached this point, the only thing he could rely on was the Hao Tian Sect. If he lost the support of the Hao Tian Sect, he dared not think of what to do next.

Now, it was only his Hao Tian Sect kin who truly cared for him.

Even though many still harbored grudges against his past actions, blaming him for the plight of the Hao Tian Sect, they hadn't blamed him too much, even considering it the nature of a true man.

To protect his own wife, all of that was necessary.

If they knew it was he who had plotted those things to enhance his own strength, causing Ah Yin to die, the Hao Tian Clan to shut its doors, and the Hao Tian Clan to suffer such devastating losses—even his own father had been infuriated to death.

Once the truth was revealed, he would be pointed at by thousands, cursed by everyone.

He was Hao Tian Douluo, after all!

He was a figure who was revered by others!

But if these things were exposed, let alone respect, everyone would spit on him. Even his own elder brother, Tang Xiao, would deal with him personally. Because he caused Ah Yin's death, and Tang Xiao loved Ah Yin too. He had only let go because he was the younger brother.

Now that Ah Yin was dead, he felt such a great attachment to her and even thought about seeking revenge for her. It was obvious that, if he found out that Ah Yin had been killed by him, even the deepest brotherly affection would be useless!

"Xiao Hao, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so terrible?" Tang Xiao looked at Tang Hao, and for some reason, whenever he mentioned Ah Yin, his complexion turned abnormal—not a grieving expression, but one of fear, regret, and worry.

What was going on?

"Big brother, if I did something wrong, would you forgive me?" Tang Hao said with difficulty, looking distressedly at Tang Xiao.

"Yes, you'll always be my brother," Tang Xiao said to Tang Hao, speaking earnestly.

"But what exactly happened?"

"Because he killed Ah Yin. The matters of the past were orchestrated by him," Xu Ran said, standing atop the roof ridge, wearing a Black Dragon mask. Xu Ran's current strength was formidable, so sneaking into the Hao Tian Clan had been a breeze.

"Who?"

Listening to that familiar and terrifying demonic voice, Tang Hao's face underwent a drastic change.

The thing he feared most had still come to pass.

Xu Ran, the person who knew the real events of that year, had come!

Last time Xu Ran had said that when he came to find him again, he would kill him outright, giving him no more chances. Was Xu Ran here to take his life this time?

Tang Xiao was stunned for a moment, his mind reeling with shock from those words. He looked up in horror at Xu Ran. With his current "Cultivation Level," he hadn't noticed someone could approach the Hao Tian Clan so quietly, so close to him.

Who on earth was this person?

Not only that, but the content of those words also caused his face to drastically change.

The events of the year had been orchestrated by Xiao Hao?

What did that mean?

Tang Xiao's face turned incredibly pale, and looking back at Tang Hao, seeing his face of despair, a terrible suspicion suddenly emerged in his heart.

He couldn't believe it. Ah Yin, such a wonderful person, killed by her husband, Tang Hao?

It was too horrible to imagine. How could Xiao Hao possibly do such a thing?

"Who are you? What are you here for? Are you trying to drive a wedge between me and my brother?" Tang Xiao took a deep breath and spoke. As the Sect Master of the Hao Tian Sect, he naturally wouldn't suspect his own younger brother just because of a single sentence.

"Drive a wedge in your relationship? If he hasn't done anything wrong, why would Hao Tian Douluo feel guilty?" Xu Ran said disdainfully, looking at Tang Hao's despairing expression with a sense of schadenfreude.
