Chapter 357: The Clear Sky Clan Has Also Chosen the Path of Death
Sea God Island, Third Trial of the Sea God's Ninth Test
When Bibi Dong arrived at the Clear Sky Clan, Tang Hao was already a 14–15-year-old boy—rising rapidly, his talent shining brightly. His cultivation speed stunned everyone. Every time he learned a core Clear Sky technique, he broke its record. He was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius of the Clear Sky Clan!
When Tang Chen brought Bibi Dong back to the clan, he immediately had her dressed up beautifully—like a fairy straight out of a storybook.
At the age where emotions begin to stir, Tang Hao was in the middle of training when Tang Zhen called him over and told him that he had been promised a child bride—one with twin spirits and innate full spirit power. Tang Hao was shocked, curious, and excited.
But when he saw Bibi Dong for the first time, her aura was so pure and flawless that he froze. Though it was their first meeting, his heart was already captured.
The Tang family might have been born twisted—bullies to the weak, selfish, with a deeply patriarchal mindset—but they did have one redeeming trait: if they truly loved a woman, they would devote themselves entirely to her, doting beyond measure.
Tang Chen and Tang Zhen had both married for political gain. After their wives died, they remained single for life.
Bibi Dong, aware that Qian Xunji had sold her to the Clear Sky Clan, knew that once Tang Chen disappeared to pursue divine inheritance, Yu Xiaogang would inevitably come to the Clear Sky Clan seeking a cure for his defective martial spirit. She had to lay low, cultivate hard, and await the day she could elope with him and head to Sea God Island to complete her god trials.
Having endured two nightmares in secret chambers, Bibi Dong knew well the price of weakness.
After the engagement, a few years passed. Bibi Dong blossomed into a devastating beauty—undeniably the number one beauty of the Clear Sky Clan. Tang Hao became her loyal admirer, constantly devoted to her.
She played the part of a demure, obedient girl—never rejecting his kindness, but never letting him touch her. She promised everything would be his on their wedding night when she turned 25.
Tang Hao was reluctant—most Clear Sky disciples had children in their early twenties. By the time Bibi Dong turned 25, he'd be 33–34. But for the sake of love and seeing how his older brother remained single for 15 extra years, he agreed and continued doting on her.
Bibi Dong had planned everything. The prime years of soul master cultivation spanned ages 14 to 25. At 25, Yu Xiaogang would arrive. On the wedding night, she'd wear her bridal gown, confess everything to Xiaogang, and flee with him to Sea God Island.
By then, she'd be close to Soul Saint level, able to fend off other Soul Saints. Clear Sky's entire force—one Title Douluo and ten Soul Douluos—wouldn't be enough to catch her.
Once she reached Sea God Island and gained the inheritance, the Clear Sky Clan would be nothing.
While in the Clear Sky Clan, with their ample resources, Bibi Dong's insane talent showed. Her cultivation speed left everyone speechless—even Tang Hao couldn't keep up.
Before long, the clan began suppressing her in secret. They reduced her resources, limited her progress—all to avoid a future where she outshined Tang Hao or rebelled against them. After all, she was an outsider without a Clear Sky Hammer.
Even if she gave everything to the clan, she would always be a threat—especially to the elders and their heirs.
They even fed her nonsense: "Women don't need to be strong." "Women shouldn't be too smart." "A woman's beauty is enough."
Bibi Dong pretended to listen obediently. Inside, she was filled with murderous rage.
So that's why, in the second trial, her prodigy daughter only reached level 93. This was it. The Clear Sky Clan had brainwashed and suppressed her.
She had four children! So that her daughter could be a broodmare to strengthen the clan?
Now, Bibi Dong's hatred for the Clear Sky Clan had reached its peak. Once she inherited the Sea God's position, she would throw the entire Tang Clan, Qian Clan of Spirit Hall, and Ning Clan of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into the Slaughter City.
Time passed.
At 28, Tang Hao returned from the Slaughter City, having survived its horrors. After two years at Yuexuan, he reached Soul Saint level. Tang Zhen sent him, Tang Xiao, and Bibi Dong to travel the continent and gain experience.
Unsurprisingly, they encountered Ah Yin. The four—two men and two women—swore eternal friendship and journeyed together.
Tang Hao believed he was close to happiness. His wedding with Bibi Dong was near, and his brother had found love with Ah Yin. The Clear Sky Clan was rising again.
Then—Qian Xunji appeared.
With a single elbow strike to the skull, he knocked out Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Bibi Dong—then took Ah Yin away.
The three returned in failure, hoping Tang Zhen could help retrieve her. Naturally, he couldn't. Tang Xiao could only cry in silence.
Tang Zhen changed the subject—Bibi Dong was now 25. It was time to fulfill her promise and marry Tang Hao. Preparations for the grand wedding began.
While wedding invites were being sent across the continent, Bibi Dong secretly discovered Yu Xiaogang's presence in the Clear Sky archives. Her heart soared.
She had already prepared two bridal gowns. One was given to a greedy, shallow maid who resembled her. She convinced her to wear the red veil and pretend to be the bride. During the wedding, after the couple bowed, Bibi Dong would reveal the truth.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong would don the second gown, meet Yu Xiaogang, and flee.
