Rumors Are Fiercer Than Tigers

Yu Yuanzhen was struck by two soul skills.

His Martial Soul Avatar vanished instantly, and he fell to the ground like a heap of mud.

Yu Tianheng was also seized by the neck by Demon Bear Douluo and held aloft, his eyes filled with terror.

After the others came down, Yu Yuanzhen said sternly:

"Spirit Hall, even if I become a ghost, this old man will never let you off!"

After saying that, he coughed up a great deal of blood.

He had never expected the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to perish in his hands.

Looking at the barely breathing Yu Yuanzhen, Yue Guan covered his mouth and laughed.

"Old Dragon, so you have a day like this too."

Yu Yuanzhen simply closed his eyes, looking as though he would submit to whatever they wished to do to him.

Before long, Ye Xiaobao was invited over.

"Xiaobao, this Old Dragon has three soul bones on him. His Holiness the Pope said you could keep one as your reward for this mission!"

Yue Guan said excitedly.

This time, they had acquired countless resources by wiping out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and their losses had been minimal.

He would surely receive many rewards upon returning to Spirit Hall.

Ye Xiaobao walked step by step toward Yu Yuanzhen and looked at him.

"Sect Master Yu, I'll be gentle. Don't worry!"

After the time it took to burn an incense stick...

Ye Xiaobao was wiping his hands with the white handkerchief Yue Guan had handed him.

Once he was done, he tossed it straight onto the ground.

This time, he had gained a seventy-thousand-year right leg soul bone. After absorbing it, his Soul Power would definitely reach level fifty.

Once he obtained a soul ring, he could become a Soul King.

A twelve-year-old Soul King—his true combat power was enough to rival that of an ordinary Titled Douluo!

Just as he was feeling delighted.

Demon Bear Douluo asked from the side:

"How should we deal with this one?"

With that, he flung Yu Tianheng, whom he had been holding, onto the ground.

When Yu Tianheng saw Ye Xiaobao, it was as though he had found a lifeline. He hurriedly rushed over and hugged Ye Xiaobao's leg.

"Please... let me go, let me go... We're classmates."

He kept repeating himself, tears and snot mingling together in a miserable sight.

Ye Xiaobao pulled his leg free in disgust and smiled sincerely.

"Yes, we were classmates, after all. I won't kill you."

After saying that, he shook his head and turned to leave, with Dong Bo following behind him.

Of course, he was not that kindhearted. Chrysanthemum Douluo would know what to do.

The moment Yu Tianheng heard that he would not be killed, he happily dropped to his knees and began kowtowing without stop.

"Thank you... thank you..."

Watching Ye Xiaobao walk away, Demon Bear Douluo looked at Yue Guan and asked in a low voice:

"First Elder, are we really letting this brat go? Won't that expose us?"

Yue Guan glanced at Demon Bear Douluo.

"What, are you Yu Tianheng's classmate too?"

"Huh?" Demon Bear Douluo did not understand at first.

After a moment, he seemed to realize something and walked toward Yu Tianheng with a foolish grin.

"No... don't kill me... He said..."

On a mountaintop not far from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Demon Subduing Douluo stood watching the sect engulfed in lightning that filled the sky, then let out a sigh.

"Looks like I need to return to Spirit Hall and tell Big Brother about this!"

The Douluo Continent was about to change.

Early the next morning, Ye Xiaobao arrived at the Soul Fighting Arena to take part in the Heaven Dou Battle Team's training.

But as soon as he arrived, Dugu Yan pulled him aside.

"Have you heard?"

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was wiped out. They say the Heaven Dou Royal Family did it."

Ye Xiaobao pretended not to know and asked:

"When did it happen?"

Dugu Yan continued:

"Last night. They say no one in the entire sect survived—not even a single dog was spared. Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen even had three soul bones forcibly dug out of him, and Yu Tianheng died too. It was unbelievably tragic."

Ye Xiaobao naturally knew. He was the one who had dug out those three soul bones.

He still remembered the look in Yu Yuanzhen's eyes before the digging began, as though he wanted to devour him alive.

"Then why do they say the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family did it?"

Dugu Yan looked at him as though he were an idiot.

"Isn't that obvious? Tell me, who injured Yu Yuanzhen?"

"Sword Douluo."

Dugu Yan asked again:

"And where is Sword Douluo from?"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"And the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"I don't know."

Dugu Yan instantly felt the thrill of sharing someone else's secret and whispered:

"I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else. I only heard this from others too. They say the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect pledged allegiance to the Heaven Dou Empire long ago, and Sect Master Ning Fengzhi even took Crown Prince Xue Qinghe as his disciple."

After saying that, she looked around again and added:

"Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has always been within the Heaven Dou Empire's borders, it has always remained above worldly affairs. Naturally, the royal family disliked that, so they took this opportunity."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Oh..."

Ye Xiaobao put on an enlightened expression after hearing this, greatly satisfying Dugu Yan's desire to share.

Before long, as if she had remembered something, she warned him:

"Oh, right. I only told you about this, so don't you dare tell anyone else~"

Ye Xiaobao nodded, indicating that he definitely would not tell anyone.

A while later.

Ye Lengleng also quietly came over.

"Ye Xiaobao, I'll tell you a secret, but you absolutely can't tell anyone else. Have you heard? The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was destroyed last night. They say the power of lightning illuminated the entire night sky..."

After half the time it took to burn an incense stick.

"I'm only telling you this secret, so don't you dare tell anyone else~"

Watching Ye Lengleng leave with a happy expression, Ye Xiaobao fell into thought.

Was Qian Renxue really this efficient? Something that happened last night had already spread everywhere by this morning.

The day passed quickly. Ye Xiaobao had already heard no fewer than five versions of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's destruction.

Some said the Heaven Dou Royal Family had done it.

Some said the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had done it.

Some said the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had done it together.

Naturally, there were also versions claiming Spirit Hall had done it.

Ye Xiaobao could not help sighing. Rumors really were fiercer than tigers...

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's main hall.

Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo both wore gloomy expressions.

"Uncle Bone, have you found out?"

"Who exactly started these rumors?"

Gu Rong shook his head.

"Fengzhi, I don't know who is fanning the flames behind this. In just one day, the entire Heaven Dou Empire is talking about it, and the accusations point directly at our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Whoever is behind this clearly means us harm."

Ning Fengzhi sighed and asked again:

"How are Uncle Sword's injuries?"

Gu Rong shook his head again.

"Fengzhi, Old Dragon's lightning power causes severe damage to the body. Although we invited many healing Soul Masters, he will not be able to use his Soul Power for some time."

After pondering for a long while, Ning Fengzhi raised his head.

"The only force on the continent capable of eradicating the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect overnight is likely Spirit Hall!"

He had not expected Spirit Hall to use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's hand to strike against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

"Spirit Hall!" Gu Rong shot to his feet. With his height of over two meters and broad frame, he resembled a wall.

"Fengzhi, are you saying Spirit Hall was behind what happened to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded.

"That's right. Even if the Heaven Dou Royal Family mobilized enough strength to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, our informants could not possibly have received no news at all."

Hearing this, Gu Rong asked doubtfully:

"Fengzhi, with the Clear Sky Sect sealing its mountain, Spirit Hall is already the number one Soul Master force on the continent. Even the two great empires are far inferior to them. Why would Spirit Hall want to eradicate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"

Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Could Spirit Hall be planning to unify the continent?"

"Uncle Bone, Spirit Hall took advantage of Uncle Sword injuring Yu Yuanzhen to wipe out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect in one stroke. Now that Uncle Sword is injured, we must be doubly cautious."

After saying that, Ning Fengzhi added:

"I only hope the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does not follow in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's footsteps."

Just then, Ning Rongrong, dressed in a green gown, walked in and coquettishly said:

"Grandpa Bone, I want to see how Grandpa Sword's injuries are. Please let me go."

Ning Fengzhi glared at Ning Rongrong from the side.

"Nonsense! Your Grandpa Sword has not recovered yet. If you dare disturb him, I'll break your legs!"

Ning Rongrong causing trouble at a time like this made him somewhat irritated.

Frightened by her father's scolding, Ning Rongrong hurriedly hid behind Gu Rong.

"Fengzhi, what are you doing? Rongrong is only worried about that old swordsman. Is that wrong too?"

As he spoke, he pulled Ning Rongrong in front of him.

He had always treated Ning Rongrong as his own granddaughter.
