Chapter 162: The Yu Luomian Entrusted to the Young
"Soul Emperor, what's a Soul Emperor?"
Heider looked down on everyone with disdain, asking, "Do you know the true strength of that young man?"
"What strength could it be, is he a Soul Saint?"
The pirates couldn't help but speculate.
That was already the limit of their imagination.
No.
To be precise, it had surpassed their imagination.
"Soul Saint is not enough."
Heider shook his head and stopped beating around the bush, "According to my guess, that young man is likely a Soul Douluo."
"What?!"
"Soul Douluo!"
"That kid is so young, and you're telling me he's a Soul Douluo!"
"Hiss."
No need for too many words, yet it was enough to show their shock.
Even without agreement, the word "defying the heavens" emerged in everyone's minds.
Yes, defying the heavens.
After so many years at sea, not even the sacred place in the hearts of countless Sea Soul Masters and sea folk, the Sea God Island, had such legends.
"Captain, are we just going to sit here and wait for death?"
But still, some were not willing to give up.
"What else?"
Heider snorted unhappily, "The leader and our brothers are unreliable now. We've taken the poison; our lives are in that young man's hands. Rather than hoping for someone else to rescue us, we might as well think about how to serve them comfortably, waiting for their mercy to release us."
"Ah, this."
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Undoubtedly, Heider's words had plunged them into utter despair.
"Right, we need to change the sailing route first, try to stay as far away from our base as possible."
Suddenly, Heider remembered something important and commanded in a deep voice.
"Why?"
Everyone just nodded, except for Heider's son, who asked in confusion.
Heider replied irritably, understanding that anyone who used their brain could figure it out, "I'm afraid that the people in the group will discover our trail and become suspicious. If other brothers really see us and come over, wouldn't we all be doomed?"
"Ah, got it, got it."
Heider's son gave an awkward smile and scratched his head.
However.
What they didn't know was that three days after they had been sailing on the ocean, their news still reached the Purple Pearl Pirate Group.
"Captain, there's big trouble."
A pirate wearing an eyepatch hurried to a woman.
The infamous Purple Pearl was not some fierce, brutish man but a well-proportioned woman looking around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, extremely beautiful with high cheekbones and large eyes, her short purple hair giving her a clean and spirited look.
She wore a tight purple leather jacket that accentuated her fiery figure perfectly.
However, the pirate in front of her dared not stare at Purple Pearl for long.
Because he knew well that this sexy, beautiful woman was a ruthless figure, more vicious in action than any man, which is why she disliked men.
"What's with the panic?"
Purple Pearl coldly scanned the pirate, causing him to bow his head even lower.
She grabbed a cup of strong liquor from beside her and downed it in one go before speaking sternly, "Speak, what happened?"
"Captain, it's, it's Heider and the Sea Demon. There's a problem."
The pirate, given permission by Purple Pearl, didn't hesitate and quickly recounted the events, "Just yesterday, our people accidentally discovered that the Sea Demon had bypassed our headquarters and continued sailing."
"Continued sailing?" Purple Pearl frowned deeply, "Do you know where he is heading now?"
"Judging by the direction, it seems like he's heading towards our old rivals. I'm now highly suspicious that Heider and the Sea Demon might have defected."
"Defection!"
Purple Pearl's frown deepened, anger flashing across her beautiful face.
Crash.
She suddenly smashed her wine glass on the floor, the glass shattering and the red wine spilling everywhere.
"Heider is courting death, really thinks he can just wipe his mouth and leave after eating and drinking at my place?"
Purple Pearl's voice was full of rage, clearly on the verge of losing control.
Her soul power, belonging to a Soul Emperor, broke free uncontrollably, like a wild horse unleashed.
"Captain, please calm down."
She unleashed her power without restraint, and the poor pirate endured immense pressure, pleading for mercy.
"Calm down, my people are running away, how can I be calm?"
Purple Pearl's eyes widened as she commanded sternly, "Go now, tell the Soul Masters and above to get ready. We'll take the speedboats and hunt down the traitors."
"Yes!"
The subordinate, gritting his teeth, responded.
Then he fled the scene as quickly as possible.
Indeed, fled, as if someone was chasing him, running for his life.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
That day, a tall, handsome young man was summoned by the Yu Luomian.
Chapter 163: A Heavy Duty Assigned
"Grandfather, you wanted to see me."
"Yu Tianxin, you've grown taller again."
Yu Luomian inspected the young man from head to toe, a smile finally appearing on his face.
Undoubtedly, the person before him was once known as one of the Twin Stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Now, he is regarded as the star of the clan, Yu Tianxin.
Yu Tianxin merely smiled modestly, appearing very humble.
Seeing this, Yu Luomian got straight to the point, "I'm here to tell you not to leave the sect for now. Neither Tiandou nor Star Luo are safe."
What did this mean? Had their family really reached a life-or-death situation? Moved by curiosity, Yu Tianxin couldn't help but ask, "Is it because of the rumors within the family? Have we really provoked someone we shouldn't have?"
"Indeed, we have provoked someone beyond our means. The deaths of your granduncle, your uncle, and Yutianheng are all related to this. Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is now at an unprecedented low."
As Yu Luomian spoke, his heart sighed deeply.
Yu Tianxin became even more silent.
He couldn't imagine the pressure that this mysterious and powerful enemy had placed on his grandfather, the former second in command, now the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After a long pause.
Yu Luomian managed a weak smile, "But don't worry too much, I've already negotiated with them. If we do one thing for them, we might be able to turn hostility into friendship."
He was lying.
But, to stabilize the sect's disciples, he had no other choice.
"Really?"
A flash of joy appeared on Yu Tianxin's face.
"Yes."
Yu Luomian nodded emphatically, his heart filled with bitterness.
Regardless of the truth, this was not a joyful matter at all.
After all, too many of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had died at the hands of Qin Xiao, and now to seek a sliver of hope, the disciples of the clan would need to serve him.
How could this even be justified?
"What exactly do we need to do?" Yu Tianxin asked curiously.
Yu Luomian paused for a moment before replying gravely, "Exterminate the Star Luo Royal Family."
"Exterminate who?!"
"Grandfather, whom did you say we should exterminate?"
Yu Tianxin thought he had misheard, so he asked again.
"The Star Luo Royal Family." Yu Luomian replied with emphasis.
"Hiss."
Yu Tianxin was sure he hadn't misheard. His grandfather was serious. To think of exterminating the Star Luo Royal Family to gain forgiveness from that mysterious powerhouse.
"Grandfather, this is surely a mutually destructive path."
Yu Tianxin spoke very diplomatically. In his heart, he believed this was utterly impossible.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might have had some hope in the past, but now, how could they possibly engage in such an endeavor?
"Even if the royal family's number of powerhouses is similar to ours, they have Haotian Sect behind them."
"That is the top-ranked sect among the upper three sects, not something we can handle now."
As one of the direct disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianxin was well aware of the colossal entity that lay behind an empire.
Haotian Sect, now seemingly turned to ash. Otherwise, even at their peak, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was no match. Yu Luomian muttered to himself upon hearing this.
"I'll tell you two pieces of news."
Yu Luomian felt it was time to reveal some truth to Yu Tianxin, "First, Haotian Sect has been annihilated by Qin Xiao, the same person who inflicted heavy losses on our clan."
"What? Haotian Sect is gone?" Yu Tianxin was struck as if by lightning, disbelief etched across his face.
This was also the first time he learned the name of the mysterious powerhouse, Qin Xiao.
"The second piece of news, the Star Luo Royal Family's powerhouses have also been mostly eliminated. We shouldn't find it too difficult to deal with them now, especially since it's a case of the unaware against the prepared."
Yu Luomian's second piece of news shook Yu Tianxin even more.
"This Qin Xiao is truly the nemesis of all major forces."
His mind blanked for a moment before he could muster this response.
"Exactly, the nemesis."
"If we cannot reconcile with him, I really don't know what path the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will take."
"Even if it means bearing a bad name, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Although I, Yu Luomian, may not lead the clan to prosperity and glory, I cannot let it perish on my watch."
Yu Luomian's voice was filled with complexity.
Who wouldn't want to be praised through the ages, passing down their glorious deeds for the clan to their descendants?
The situation was dire, forcing him to bow his head.
"Grandfather, I understand you," Yu Tianxin said solemnly.
"You are the hope of our sect. It's safest for you within the clan. And if anything unexpected happens to me—"
Yu Luomian looked deeply at Yu Tianxin and continued, "Go to your aunt, and no matter what, make sure she takes over the leadership of the clan."
"Grandfather, rest assured, I will not let you down."
"Uh, find Auntie?"
Yu Tianxin was about to passionately agree, when he suddenly realized something was amiss.
What was Yu Luomian saying?
It wasn't about handing over the sect to him, but about finding his aunt, Liu Erlong.
"Yes, your aunt," Yu Luomian nodded. "The one running a school in Tiandou City. Remember to be respectful when you see her."
It really was her!
Yu Tianxin was stunned.
He could not fathom why Yu Luomian would want to pass the leadership of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to a bastard daughter!
Why her?
Shouldn't I, Yu Tianxin, be the rightful heir to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
Undoubtedly, Yu Tianxin was not pleased.
Of course.
No matter how dissatisfied he was internally, he wouldn't show it.
In other words, he hid it very well.
"Grandfather, rest assured, if anything happens to you, I will definitely bring Auntie back to take charge."
Yu Tianxin's eyes reddened, tears seemingly ready to flow at any moment.
"Rest assured, under my plan, I should not be in any danger. The Star Luo Royal Family are just nobodies."
Yu Luomian laughed heartily, patting Yu Tianxin on the shoulder, "You may go now."
"Yes."
Yu Tianxin respectfully agreed and turned to leave.
However.
No sooner had he left than Yu Luomian's door was violently kicked open.
Indeed.
Kicked open.
As Yu Luomian turned towards the intruder, a flash of cold light sparked in his eyes.
His face darkened frighteningly.
His voice was chillingly cold, "Yu Xiaogang, are you seeking death?"
In contrast, Yu Xiaogang showed no fear. Pointing at Yu Luomian, he accused, "Even if it means death, I must expose you, coward, hypocrite, ungrateful traitor, who betrayed our sect just to cling to life."
Yu Xiaogang's indignation was palpable.
When Yu Luomian proposed his opinion regarding Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang was the first to object.
Make peace and beg for mercy from Qin Xiao?
What a joke!
His father, brother, and nephew all died at Qin Xiao's hands.
He himself was severely injured and left crippled by Qin Xiao.
Yu Xiaogang would never agree to Yu Luomian's plan, even if it meant his death.
"Do you understand what it means if we fight Qin Xiao to the end?" Yu Luomian asked sternly.
"What does it mean?"
Yu Xiaogang paused.
He knew what it meant — the annihilation and ultimate failure of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
But.
Did he care?
Even if they couldn't kill Qin Xiao, if they could inflict even a minor wound on him, he believed it was worth it.
"Of course, I know what will happen!"
"But the disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are not spineless!"
"Even if it means shedding our last drop of blood, we must fight Qin Xiao to the end."
Yu Xiaogang spoke righteously, "The sect can be rebuilt, but if we lose our backbone, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will never stand tall again."
After listening to Yu Xiaogang, Yu Luomian fell silent for a moment before speaking gravely, "No, it will never happen. Sometimes, staying alive is what's most important, no matter how. We must survive first."
"And I will not allow the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to stand without backbone. All the shame will be borne by me alone! I, Yu Luomian, may have failed my brother and my clan, but I have not failed myself!"
His voice resounded emphatically.
