Chapter 163: Expelling Yu Xiaogang
Yu Luomian's voice was resolute, leaving Yu Xiaogang stunned.
He understood. Yu Luomian wanted to use his own reputation to bear all shame, to apologize with his life.
In this way, even if the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan knew that Yu Luomian had made a shameful deal with Qin Xiao to let them live, it wouldn't concern them much. After all, the deal was orchestrated solely by Yu Luomian, keeping the clan members in the dark. The weak one was Yu Luomian, not the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
However, this wasn't acceptable to Yu Xiaogang, who shook his head repeatedly after calming down.
"You can't make decisions on behalf of the clan."
"No, I can."
Yu Luomian's reply was unwavering.
No one could change his mind anymore.
"Disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would rather die standing than live on their knees!"
Yu Xiaogang expressed his anger hoarsely.
He didn't care about the life or death of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Or rather, the fate of the clan had long ceased to matter to him. What he cared about was Qin Xiao's fate. If the clan didn't act against Qin Xiao, and he had to grovel under Qin Xiao's mercy, Yu Xiaogang would lose all hope of revenge.
After all, he was a complete failure in cultivation. His purported invincibility in theory was just that, a theory.
"So, go fight Qin Xiao now. I'll make sure to record it in the clan's history books for you."
Yu Luomian sneered coldly.
"What? Fight Qin Xiao now?"
Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded.
What a joke. Qin Xiao wouldn't even spare him a glance with his current strength. Going there would be offering his head, and not just any death but being crushed by a single finger.
"You talk about righteousness, but in reality, you can't do anything for the sect. I am willing to bear shame and sacrifice my life."
A cold smile appeared on Yu Luomian's lips.
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang felt completely exposed, unable to meet Yu Luomian's gaze.
"Leave, and don't come back. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is no longer suitable for you."
Yu Luomian looked at Yu Xiaogang deeply. "Because it can no longer provide what you need."
"What!"
Yu Xiaogang was shocked. He no longer cared about anything else, immediately looking up at Yu Luomian. "Are you... are you saying you're expelling me from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Yu Luomian nodded. "Since you don't possess the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, I'll save the trouble of nullifying your Martial Soul. Before you go, you can take five hundred Gold Soul Coins for your future expenses. If you don't squander them recklessly, five hundred Gold Soul Coins will be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life."
Boom!
After hearing Yu Luomian's words, Yu Xiaogang panicked.
His voice trembled. "You... you can't do this to me. I am the legitimate heir of the main bloodline."
Yu Luomian didn't even look at Yu Xiaogang anymore but shouted outside the hall, "Someone, escort him out."
As soon as the words fell, two burly men walked in, one on each side, lifted Yu Xiaogang, and carried him out of the hall.
Before long, outside the mountain gate, Yu Xiaogang was thrown out like a sandbag.
"From now on, Yu Xiaogang is no longer a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If he dares to cause trouble in the name of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in the future, there will be no mercy."
At the same time, a notice spread throughout the clan.
"You... you can't treat me like this!"
Yu Xiaogang cried and pleaded outside the mountain gate, but he was blocked by four guards.
"Brother, can I say it now?"
Among the four guarding the gate, one stepped forward, pointing at Yu Xiaogang.
The one called brother nodded.
At this, the disciple became ecstatic, approaching Yu Xiaogang and pointing at him, "Your name is Yu Xiaogang, right? You, a decent person, why are you living worse than a dog? Now, get lost."
"One minute, if I see you here again, I'll break your legs and throw you into the deep mountains and forests."
Hiss.
After hearing the gatekeeper's words, Yu Xiaogang took a sharp breath, calming down a bit. "Don't... don't hurt me. I'll leave now."
As he spoke, he crawled down the mountain.
However, in his heart, seeds of hatred were already sown.
He secretly vowed that within his lifetime, he would make the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan pay.
Meanwhile, on the sea.
"Captain, something's wrong."
A crew member ran to Heider in a panic.
"What's wrong? Is it because the noble on board is dissatisfied with us?"
Heider's heart skipped a beat, and he asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
The crew member replied, "No, it's not because of that noble."
"Is it an attack from sea soul beasts?"
"Neither."
"Have we encountered pirates?"
Heider said, feeling ridiculous himself.
Aren't they pirates themselves?
Why fear encountering pirates?
However...
The crew's behavior surprised Heider.
He shook his head, then nodded, then shook his head again. "You're damn indecisive."
Heider cursed irritably, then suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, and he vaguely guessed what the crew member meant. "Could it be that the captain has discovered us?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The crew member nodded frantically. "That's right, the captain has spotted us. The ships of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group are less than ten miles away from us now. At this speed, they'll catch up in a few minutes."
"What, so fast! Why didn't you notice earlier?"
Heider's eyes widened.
The crew member looked embarrassed. "Captain, you know that two of our brothers were killed by that noble. Now we're severely understaffed, so we neglected to observe the surroundings."
"Enough with the damn excuses."
Heider waved his hand impatiently. "Notify everyone to sail at full speed. Don't let the captain catch up with us. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for the Purple Pearl Pirate Group."
"Yes!"
The crew member nodded heavily and quickly conveyed Heider's order.
The next moment, the speed of the Sea Demon increased to at least thirty percent of its previous speed.
Behind the Sea Demon.
Zi Zhenzhu stood on a fast boat, holding a telescope, glaring at the Sea Demon, and said fiercely, "Heider discovered us and is running even faster now. Ma De, it's confirmed. Heider must have betrayed us. Eating inside and out, I'll definitely wipe him out."
With that, she put down the telescope and waved her hand angrily. "Accelerate, damn it, accelerate for me, charge up and blast them."
"Yes!"
After Zi Zhenzhu's command, she received responses from the people around her.
Dozens of fast boats exerted their full strength and rushed forward.
After much effort, they finally caught up with the Sea Demon and surrounded it.
"Heider, stop. The Sea Demon is surrounded by members of our Purple Pearl Pirate Group!"
One of them shouted at the Sea Demon's deck.
"Seeking death, really seeking death!"
On the deck of the Sea Demon, Heider looked around at the members of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group, his face filled with gloom.
Hundreds of them were soul masters. It was evident how much the Purple Pearl had paid to catch up with them.
But could they capture that young man who was a Soul Douluo?
He found it unlikely.
Moreover, even if they couldn't defeat him, he believed that the young man must have other means of escape.
If a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse had their eyes on them, the Purple Pearl Pirate Group would be in trouble.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
The surrounding crew members asked Heider nervously.
At this moment, they were not only panicked but also lacking any initiative.
"What can we do?"
Heider frowned, then couldn't help but sigh heavily. "What happens next is no longer up to me."
"Humph, you're right about that. What happens next is indeed no longer up to you."
"Because I'm here."
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind the crowd.
Heider and many crew members turned around to see Zi Zhenzhu leading five or six soul masters, who had boarded the ship at some point.
At this moment, they were not far behind them.
"Captain... you're here."
Some crew members said with trembling voices.
In fact, not only their voices were trembling, but their legs were trembling too.
Thinking of Zi Zhenzhu's terror, cold sweat dripped down their backs.
"Heider, the captain has been generous to you, and even entrusted you with a large ship to command alone. Yet you're planning to betray us?"
Before Zi Zhenzhu spoke, someone beside her couldn't contain their anger and coldly questioned.
"Betrayal?"
Heider's expression changed again upon hearing this.
How did trying to avoid trouble for the Purple Pearl Pirate Group become treason?
He couldn't bear this accusation!
"You're wrong, I'm not betraying. My actions are for the good of the group." Heider defended himself.
"Cut the crap."
Another member of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group beside Zi Zhenzhu spoke, "Look at the direction you're sailing now. Clearly, you're intending to defect with the Sea Demon. If we hadn't noticed in time, not only would we have lost several people, but we would have also lost such a large ship like the Sea Demon."
Heider said, "I'll say it again, I don't want to cause trouble for the Purple Pearl Pirate Group. That's why I took a detour."
"Enough, Heider, stop talking," Zi Zhenzhu interrupted him. "You keep saying you're afraid of causing trouble for the Purple Pearl Pirate Group, but don't say I didn't give you a chance. Now tell me, what kind of trouble are you talking about? There are few problems on the sea that I, Zi Zhenzhu, can't handle. And those that exist, are rare."
In reality, she felt that Heider was just talking nonsense, fabricating excuses to absolve himself.
It's just that he hadn't figured out a good reason yet, so he used the term 'trouble' as a substitute.
"Uh, well, you see, we have a powerful individual on board who needs to go to Sea God Island, and we dare not stay without his orders."
Heider sighed and could only say, "By bypassing Purple Pearl Island, I'm trying to avoid drawing the attention of the captain and the brothers of the pirate group, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble."
Hmm?
After hearing Heider's words, Zi Zhenzhu's face revealed a hint of amusement. "I'd like to see what kind of powerful individual could make you so obedient. Now, go and bring them out."
"This..."
Actually, Heider inwardly refused.
What's the point of bringing out Qin Xiao? Will they kill you all?
"Captain Heider, there's no need to trouble yourself. We'll come out."
Suddenly, a gentle voice came from the direction of the cabin.
Heider, Zi Zhenzhu, and the other pirates all looked over.
Several people walked out of the cabin.
One man and four women.
The man was handsome to an unreasonable degree, and each of the women had her own unique beauty.
Zi Zhenzhu was instantly infatuated, feeling as if another little deer was bumping around in her heart.
Of course.
What attracted her wasn't the handsome young man but the four beautiful girls behind him.
"Sir, why did you come out? I can handle things here."
Heider hurriedly approached.
"Sir?"
Zi Zhenzhu frowned slightly and sneered, "Heider, are you trying to tell me that he's the powerful individual you mentioned?"
"N-no, that's not true."
"Although it's hard to believe, it's the truth."
Heider nodded reluctantly and immediately introduced Qin Xiao, "Sir, let me introduce you. This is Zi Zhenzhu, the captain of our Purple Pearl Pirate Group."
Qin Xiao didn't respond but gazed at Zi Zhenzhu.
At the same time, Zi Zhenzhu also looked over and smiled, "Are you all really treating me like a fool? They're so young, how strong could their cultivation be? Soul Masters? Soul Kings? Even if you want to find someone to pretend to be powerful, at least find someone who looks the part."
"Or just tell me directly, what's your real purpose?"
Uh.
After hearing Zi Zhenzhu's words, Heider was dumbfounded.
It's such a big misunderstanding.
He had no ulterior motives.
He really just didn't want the Purple Pearl Pirate Group to get into trouble.
"Don't want to talk, huh?"
Zi Zhenzhu sneered coldly. "Come, let's capture those little beauties behind the boy first. Tonight, I'm going to have some fun."
After saying that, she couldn't help but get excited, her eyes filled with excitement.
You have to know, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and the other four women are absolutely rare beauties on the sea. She couldn't contain her excitement.
Isn't this asking for trouble? Heider immediately panicked and said, "Captain, you can't. This will bring disaster upon our Purple Pearl Pirate Group."
"Get lost!"
Zi Zhenzhu's brow furrowed, her eyes suddenly turning icy.
At the same time, fine scales appeared on her body.
Two yellow, two purple, and two black, the six best-matched soul rings appeared on Zi Zhenzhu's body. A powerful aura belonging to a Soul Emperor erupted, causing Heider to involuntarily take a few steps back.
And behind Heider, the other pirates were even more unbearable, retreating even further.
"As expected, Zi Zhenzhu still has some skills."
Qin Xiao's eyes flashed when he saw this.
He knew that it was time for him to take action.
It's like heaven has a road, yet he refuses to take it, while hell has no door, yet he forces his way in.
