Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 29: The Beginning of All Evil

"Mom... Mom..."

In a shabby firewood room, eleven-year-old Huo Yuhao's face was full of sadness. His eyes were red and tears streamed down his cheeks.

"Little Yuhao, don't be sad. Take good care of yourself in the future." Huo Yun'er, pale and haggard from illness, forced a smile despite her weakness.

"It's just a pity I can't watch you grow up..."

Huo Yun'er closed her eyes, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye. Years of hard work, not enough food, lack of sleep, and the occasional bullying from the Duke's mansion servants had taken their toll on her body. The beating she received earlier, orchestrated by Dai Huabin, was the final straw.

"..."

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, staring at Huo Yun'er's lifeless body. The sadness in his eyes could no longer be contained. In extreme grief, he couldn't cry; his heart felt dead. Apart from the sorrow of Huo Yun'er's death, he was filled with immense hatred for the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

Without seeking help from anyone, he quietly dug a grave on the hillside and buried Huo Yun'er himself. He erected a tombstone with his own hands:

[Tomb of the Loving Mother Huo Yun'er]

Huo Yuhao knelt before the grave, tears streaming down his face, but his eyes were bloodshot, and his fingernails dug into his flesh.

"Mother, my soul power level is now at nine. Once I reach level ten, I will leave the White Tiger Duke's mansion." Huo Yuhao's tone was calm, but his eyes burned with hatred, enough to set the world on fire.

"If I survive, I will make the entire White Tiger Duke's mansion pay for the suffering you endured!!"

Divine Realm

"Very good, very good, just like that!" Tang San nodded in satisfaction, reaching out his right hand to gently grab at the air. A sleeping soul appeared in his grasp. It was none other than Huo Yun'er's soul.

"Hehehe, Child of Destiny? No, just a dog of the Tang family!" Tang San flipped his hand, holding Huo Yun'er's soul.

The planet's consciousness, imprisoned nearby, was about to explode in anger.

No wonder Du Qianjue said making Huo Yuhao the Child of Destiny wouldn't work, wasn't reliable, and couldn't be saved. This jerk had been training his dog from the start!

Tang San glanced at the planetary consciousness and smirked, lightly tossing the soul in his hand.

"Planetary consciousness, what do you think? Do you still hold hope? You might as well give up and stop resisting!"

The planetary consciousness remained silent, but Tang San could feel its cold gaze.

"Hmph! Unappreciative!"

Tang San's face darkened, almost crushing Huo Yun'er's soul in his grip.

"In that case, it's time for the next step!" Tang San turned his gaze towards the Clear Sky Sect, where a pink and blue-haired girl was playing with Niu Tian and Tai Tan.

A faint blue-gold light descended from the sky, landing on Niu Tian's forehead. Niu Tian's expression froze momentarily, confusion evident in his eyes.

Sending Wang Dong'er to Shrek Academy was one thing, but why make her pretend to be a boy and share a dorm with another boy? What was Tang San thinking?

Suppressing his dissatisfaction and confusion, Niu Tian squatted down and gave Wang Dong'er a gentle smile.

"Little Dong'er, you'll be twelve next year. Isn't it boring staying in the Clear Sky Castle all the time? Do you want to go out and play?"

"Outside?" Wang Dong'er bit her lip, eyes filled with longing. "I want to go! Big Uncle, can I really go out?"

"Of course you can," Niu Tian nodded. Tai Tan, who was about to speak, was silenced by Niu Tian's look.

"Where can I go to play next year?" Wang Dong'er asked excitedly.

"How about Shrek Academy? It's a place where most of the continent's geniuses gather. You'll surely make good friends there!" Niu Tian patted Wang Dong'er's head lovingly.

"Friends?"

"But you have to promise me one thing. Little Dong'er is too beautiful. It might be troublesome outside, so you'll need to disguise yourself as a boy..."

"Mm, I listen to you, Big Uncle..."

Night at Clear Sky Castle

"Big Brother, why send Little Dong to that Shrek Academy? What's wrong with our Clear Sky Sect?" Tai Tan's tone was displeased.

Niu Tian sat silently, sighing softly.

"Big Brother?"

Niu Tian glanced at Tai Tan without speaking, merely pointing to the sky before leaving.

Tai Tan squinted, seeming to understand something.

Extreme North

In the core region of the Extreme North, amidst a world of scorched and broken ice and snow, sat a stunningly beautiful and graceful ice and snow empress. Her silver hair fluttered in the wind and snow, and snowflakes circled around her, as if the world was resonating with her, showing their submission.

She was the Snow Empress, Xue Linglong!

Having successfully survived her 800,000-year tribulation, Xue Linglong stood up, gazing southward with a look of longing in her eyes.

"Are you awake yet? I will come to find you soon!"

Turning into a stream of light, she arrived at the Titan Snow Demon King's territory. Sensing her approach, A'Tai, the leader of the Titan Snow Demon clan, hurried out of the ice cave and knelt on one knee outside.

"Greetings, Snow Empress!"

"Yes, A'Tai, I need to leave the Extreme North for a while," Xue Linglong said, smiling at him.

"Don't worry, Snow Empress, I will guard the Extreme North!" A'Tai replied solemnly, hitting his chest with his right fist.

Satisfied, Xue Linglong pointed, and a flower of ice formed from the bracelet on her wrist, creating an ice pillar in front of A'Tai.

"This is...?!" A'Tai's eyes widened in surprise.
