Chapter 179 Bai Wang Dong'er's frantic questioning leaves Titan Bull completely bewildered.
The light and shadow on the sky were extremely concentrated, and the call signal from the communication device in the white world sounded unusually jarring in the quiet black world.
And at this moment.
[In the celestial display, the phone on the communication device kept ringing.]
The Soul Masters of the Underworld held their breath, their eyes filled with intense anticipation.
They desperately wanted to know what kind of reasons Titan and Niu Tian, the two culprits who had crippled Huo Yuhao in the underworld, would fabricate, given the transparent logic of the white world.
"What will Titan and Niu Tian do next?" a dark world academy instructor whispered, speculating.
"They can't just tell Bai Wangdong'er and Bai Yuhao that the contents of the letter were all lies, can they? If that's the truth, given Bai Wangdong'er's personality, the Haotian Sect would probably be in an uproar."
Hei Xiaowu stood in a corner of the temple, her fists clenched tightly with tension. She remembered Tang San's earlier excuse that he "didn't know what Titan and Niu Tian would think in the future," and now she stared intently at the screen: "I want to see what they have to say!"
Meanwhile, on the throne, Black Tang San was consumed by anxiety. He cursed wildly in his mind: "Damn it, will these two idiots expose me in the end? If Tang San from the White World also gave this explanation, then this phone call will be my doom."
The Black Titans and Black Bull Gods of the lower realms were even more ashen-faced.
They felt the disgusted gazes directed at them from across the continent, and inwardly they were also groaning: "Damn it, what kind of mess is this? How are we supposed to respond? There's no way to salvage this deadlock!"
[And at this very moment, within the frame.]
The call was finally answered.
[Titan's slightly low and noticeably weak voice came through the communication device: "Little Seven? Why are you calling at this hour? Has something happened?"]
Wang Dong'er didn't give them any chance for pleasantries. She switched to speakerphone mode, her cold voice piercing the two people at the Haotian Sect through her soul tool: "Second Father, I have something to ask you. The brocade pouch you asked me to give to Yuhao has been opened, but what exactly is inside?"
Wang Dong'er continued, "I want to verify something in person: what exactly is this so-called 'fatal old wound' on my body? Why, as the person directly involved, have I never felt anything unusual about my body?"
The scene shifts to a close-up of the main hall of the Haotian Sect.
Titan and Niu Tian went numb the moment they heard Wang Dong'er's voice.
They exchanged bewildered glances, cold sweat trickling down their temples. They had expected Huo Yuhao to succumb to a fit of rage upon seeing the letter and venture alone into the forest. They never imagined these two young men would sit together and directly confront each other on the phone.
"Damn it, how did things get like this?"
"This isn't right, is it?"
"How are we supposed to explain this?"
Whether it was the Titan of the White World or the Bull Heaven of the White World, they both felt overwhelmed and their minds were racing, constantly searching for a solution.
But given the circumstances, and under Bai Wang Dong'er's penetrating questioning, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue responding.
Niu Tian picked up the conversation, his voice dry as he lied, "Dong'er, this is a long story. It's because the hidden danger in your essence was temporarily suppressed by us with a divine medicine, which is why you couldn't sense it. But the effects of the medicine are almost worn off, so we rushed to send Yuhao to..."
"Is this really true?" Wang Dong'er sneered, interrupting Niu Tian. "Since there really is such a deadly threat, and since you care so much about my safety, why don't you help me? The two of you Title Douluo, working together, could easily sweep through Sunset Forest. Why insist on sending Yu Hao, whose strength is far inferior to yours, to risk his life alone? If Yu Hao fails, are you just going to watch me die?"
Titan and Niu Tian felt their minds go completely blank.
[Bai Wang Dong'er's logic is too strong; it directly hits the most absurd core of the whole matter: if saving a life were truly urgent, elders would never stand idly by.]
Titan and Niu Tian were increasingly troubled, pacing anxiously in the hall. After racking their brains for a long time, they finally came up with what they thought was a perfect solution, guided by some subconscious impulse. Titan shouted into the communication device, "Because that's the Acacia Heartbreak Red! It's a legendary divine herb! Only someone who truly loves you and is willing to give everything for you can pick it from that spring! We two roughnecks can't do anything about it, no matter how many times we go!"
This reason might fool many people in the underworld, but it falls apart in front of Wang Dong'er in the world of the law.
Without any hesitation, Wang Dong'er countered, "Since only he can pick it, why don't you escort him all the way to his destination? Before reaching the destination, can't you handle the spirit beasts and miasma in Sunset Forest?"
"Why did the letter explicitly require him to go alone? Why was he strictly forbidden from seeking help from anyone? Second Father, are you saving my life or murdering my lover?"
"What exactly haven't you two explained?"
When the Soul Masters of the Underworld heard this, they had completely seen through Titan and Niu Tian's hypocrisy.
"The loopholes are too big." A Soul Master from the underworld shook his head and sneered, "To cover up one lie, you have to tell a hundred lies. Every question Bai Wang Dong'er asked was like a heavy hammer, directly hitting the faces of these two old guys."
Above the God Realm, Tang San looked at Wang Dong'er, whose words were sharp and whose logic was impeccable, and felt an unprecedented sense of defeat.
The core of his "Heartbreaking Love" test lies in the absolute asymmetry of information and the absolute blindness of emotion. Once the other party switches to a rational confrontation mode, all sense of sacredness instantly transforms into nauseating deception.
"Xiao Qi... is too smart." Xiao Wu murmured softly, her eyes fixed on Tang San. Her gaze was no longer filled with doubt, but with a gradually gathering coldness. "Third Brother, do you still think that Titan and Niu Tian's actions were 'for her own good'?"
Tang San did not answer; he simply stared intently at the sky.
He already sensed that Titan and Niu Tian were about to collapse under Bai Wang Dong'er's relentless pressure.
