Unlike the original, Qi Lin and his group's journey to Spirit City was incredibly peaceful, with no disturbances until they arrived.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were very confused. The two had been secretly following the convoy, wanting to see if Spirit Hall would ambush the Heaven Dou Battle Team members en route.
After all, the strength displayed by the Heaven Dou Battle Team had definitely surpassed that of Spirit Hall's so-called Golden Generation of the new generation.
And for this Soul Master Competition, Spirit Hall had specifically offered three Spirit Bones as the champion's reward!
How dared Spirit Hall do this?
Or did they not ascertain the Heaven Dou Battle Team's strength in advance?
Could it be that they thought Spirit Hall's Golden Generation could truly contend with the Heaven Dou Battle Team?
One must know, even among Spirit Kings, there are differences!
Both Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo felt that Bibi Dong had lost her mind.
This was like finding a way to give Spirit Bones to the Heaven Dou Battle Team members!
Qian Renxue also breathed a sigh of relief after arriving at Spirit City.
She had also been worried on the way that Spirit Hall and her mother might try something sneaky midway.
For this, she had not hesitated to send Snake Lance Douluo back to Spirit City from thousands of miles away on the day the promotion rounds ended, strictly forbidding Bibi Dong from acting against Tian Dou Academy.
Now it seemed Bibi Dong had taken her words to heart.
A hint of satisfaction appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes, and her grudge against Bibi Dong lessened considerably.
And like flowers blooming in two places, each branch tells its own story!
On the other side, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Liu Erlong proposed to Yu Luomian that Yu Xiaogang be freed first, and return to the clan after he helped Tang San resolve his crisis.
Unfortunately, Yu Luomian firmly opposed this.
In Yu Luomian's view, Yu Xiaogang was a good-for-nothing, a troublemaker. If it weren't for him, Yu Yuanzhen would not have died, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would still be one of the continent's top powers.
Therefore, Yu Luomian detested Yu Xiaogang from the bottom of his heart. The reason he spared his life and imprisoned him within the clan was already out of consideration for his elder brother, so how could he let him leave?
Even when Liu Erlong eventually told Yu Luomian that Tang San was Tang Hao's son, Yu Luomian still refused to budge.
Mainly, he had once witnessed Qi Lin cleave the True Dragon Mountain's main peak in half with a single strike.
Compared to Tang San's background, he feared Qi Lin's terrifying strength more.
Liu Erlong was helpless. She could only return to Heaven Dou City after a hurried glance at Yu Xiaogang, preparing to make other plans.
Just as the two of them had told Yu Xiaogang, they also did not want to see Yu Xiaogang's direct disciple die like this.
So, in the end, only Tang Hao could act, secretly taking Yu Xiaogang out of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
With his strength, even though he was only at level eighty-something, it was still easy for him to quietly take Yu Xiaogang out of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
However, three days later!
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan suddenly sent someone to Shrek Academy to summon Liu Erlong back to the clan.
In the grand hall, Yu Luomian sat high on the main seat, his expression extremely grim.
Liu Erlong looked at her father with such an expression, and a premonition of ill omen arose in her heart. She couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Father, why did you suddenly call me back? Has something happened?"
She guessed it might be related to Yu Xiaogang, but her heart was full of doubt.
If it was only because Yu Xiaogang was secretly taken away by Tang Hao, then her father shouldn't have made such a big fuss.
After all, she had brought up this matter a few days ago, so it shouldn't be hard for him to guess that the person who acted was Tang Hao.
Although her father couldn't afford to offend Qi Lin, he also couldn't afford to offend Tang Hao!
So Liu Erlong had originally thought that even if her father guessed that Xiaogang had been secretly taken away by Tang Hao, he would just turn a blind eye.
However, upon hearing Liu Erlong's words, Yu Luomian snorted coldly, and retorted with a furious expression, "What happened, didn't that scoundrel Yu Xiaogang tell you? Don't tell me you haven't seen him these past few days."
Liu Erlong was slightly stunned, then shook her head and said, "After he was taken out by Tang Hao, he only met me briefly and then left."
The so-called leaving was heading towards Spirit Hall.
Seeing this, Yu Luomian realized that Liu Erlong truly didn't know the truth, and his expression softened slightly.
He said in a deep voice, "Ever since you told me about Tang San's background that day, I guessed that the scoundrel Yu Xiaogang would one day be rescued."
"So, even if he was truly rescued by Tang Hao, I was mentally prepared. But if he left, why did he also kill so many clansmen?"
"Do you know, before that scoundrel left, he didn't forget to kill the thirteen people who had guarded him, and he didn't even spare their relatives, poisoning all of them, totaling twenty-eight people."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's pupils suddenly constricted.
"Wh-what!"
"How could this be!"
Yu Luomian snorted coldly, "Now you know why I called you back, don't you? Do you think that since he did such a thing, he could possibly return to the clan honestly?"
Liu Erlong murmured, "I know Xiaogang suffered a lot during his imprisonment in the clan these days, but before, I saw him sincerely repent, and I thought he had completely come to his senses and let go of the hatred in his heart. I never thought he was just pretending."
"Not only did he not let go of his hatred, but he kept it suppressed in his heart until he was free, when he released it all."
Thinking of this, a chill ran down Liu Erlong's spine.
She now suspected whether Yu Xiaogang's claim of twin spirits conflict was also something he fabricated, just to get her and Flender to help him find Tang Hao and his son to rescue him.
At this moment, Yu Luomian looked at her expressionlessly, with an indifferent look, and said, "Without exception, all those clan disciples I sent to guard him had relatives injured or killed because of him. I also know that these people would definitely vent their hatred on him."
"But if you do something wrong, you must admit it. He caused others to lose their homes and families, or caused others to be injured and disabled. Being humiliated now is merely his atonement."
"He was rescued by Tang Hao, I can pretend not to see it, but if he killed so many clansmen and I still act as if nothing happened, what will others think of me?"
After speaking, Yu Luomian said in a deep voice, "This matter is not over. I will issue a bounty order to the outside world, for the life of the clan traitor Yu Xiaogang."
After speaking, Yu Luomian looked at Liu Erlong with a grim face.
"This matter is not open for discussion!"
"Yu Xiaogang, must die!"
Liu Erlong heard this, wanting to speak but hesitating, and in the end, she remained silent.
Actually, she wanted to find Yu Xiaogang and ask him what happened, but Yu Xiaogang had already left, and she didn't know if he had truly gone to Spirit Hall to find Bibi Dong for a way to resolve the Spirit conflict.
At this moment, Yu Luomian looked at her expression, thinking that Liu Erlong was still thinking about Yu Xiaogang, and couldn't help but say, with a tone of disappointment, "Now do you see the true face of this good-for-nothing? I really don't know what it is about this good-for-nothing that attracted you."
"And you're not young anymore, you should forget this good-for-nothing and reconsider your future."
