" Tang Hao, kneel down!"
The Fifth Elder, carrying the Seventh Elder's corpse on his back, whispered a command.
Tang Hao knelt down blankly, head bowed, facing the Seventh Elder's corpse.
The Second Elder said, "Seventh Brother died because of you. This Yu Xiaogang, in order to take revenge on Ye Ping'an, actually colluded with the Spirit Hall. My Clear Sky Sect has been closed off for many years, but I never expected that a petty person could use such a small trick to cause my Clear Sky Sect to lose an elder who was Titled Douluo. This debt must be settled!"
Yu Xiaogang panicked completely. He was sweating profusely as he tried to crawl out, but the excruciating pain in his lower body was unbearable, and death was the only thing waiting for him.
"Kill Yu Xiaogang! Tang Hao, you do it!" the Third Elder urged.
Tang Hao was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up and walked towards Yu Xiaogang, carrying the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
With each step, the earth trembled.
"Don't kill me! No! Flender! Erlong, come save me! Tang San! Tang Hao! I'm Tang San's teacher! You can't kill me!" Yu Xiaogang crawled on the ground like a stray dog, filled with resentment at her impending death.
He didn't want to die!
If Ye Ping'an doesn't die, then I will die?
That's not fair!
Just as Tang Hao's hammer was about to fall, Yu Xiaogang immediately fell into a coma.
Tang Hao shook his head. "I can't kill him."
" Tang Hao? Are you going to disobey me?" the Third Elder scolded.
"First, I, Tang Hao, have long since left the Clear Sky Sect. You have no right to order me to take action, unless..."
"Unless what?" the Second Elder asked.
"Please forgive my past mistakes and allow me Tang Hao, to return to the sect," Tang Hao stated his request.
"Hmph!" The Fifth Elder sneered, " Tang Hao, you are truly delusional. Do you think that the life or death of Yu Xiaogang will allow you to return to the sect? The death of the Seventh Elder is also related to you. Since you won't kill him, then I will do it myself."
" Yu Xiaogang is currently a wanted criminal of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. If you kill him, aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Heaven Dou Empire?" Tang Hao said something shocking, actually defending Yu Xiaogang.
"Second brother, what exactly are you trying to say?" Tang Xiao asked, frowning.
Tang Hao explained, "Tomorrow is the fifth round of the preliminary competition. According to the information I have, Yu Xiaogang and Shi Nian will be publicly sentenced at that time. Shi Nian's ambush of Ye Ping'an is a capital offense, and I think Yu Xiaogang, who instigated this, will most likely be expelled from the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Wait until the team escorting Yu Xiaogang leaves the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire before you make your move."
As soon as Tang Hao finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang suddenly woke up, terrified that Tang Hao would treat him like this.
" Tang Hao! I Yu Xiaogang, will never let you get away with this!"
In the end, Tang Xiao and the Second Elder returned to the mountain to bury the Seventh Elder, while Tang Hao was not qualified to go up the mountain.
Around noon, a squad of soldiers armed with long spears arrived at the Shrek Academy to take Yu Xiaogang away.
"Why is Yu Xiaogang lame?" the soldier asked, puzzled.
"Oh? He got crippled from a fall," Flender explained.
The whole story was learned from Tang Hao. The brotherhood between Flender and Yu Xiaogang came to an end. Liu Erlong was utterly disappointed in Yu Xiaogang and even went so far as to drag the Clear Sky Sect into the mess in order to deal with Ye Ping'an.
"Did you fall and become lame?"
The soldier seemed to understand, and looked at Yu Xiaogang with a sneer, "Even a useless Grandmaster has his day."
"Take away!"
With a wave of his hand, Yu Xiaogang, who was Entanglement iron chains and unable to break free, was dragged away.
Knowing that this was a one-way trip, Yu Xiaogang cried out in desperation, " Flender! Erlong! Please save me! I was really wrong! Tang San! Please, teacher! Save teacher! Teacher has truly been wronged!"
Everyone remained expressionless, except for Liu Erlong, who occasionally showed a hint of reluctance, but was immediately stopped by Flender, who advised, "This is his own fault, he has no one to blame but himself. Let's go back. Shrek Academy will expel Yu Xiaogang from the academy from now on."
Ye Tianxing, standing outside the Shrek Academy, smiled slightly after witnessing Yu Xiaogang being captured, and brushed past Yu Xiaogang as she was being taken away by soldiers.
Yu Xiaogang was crying, while Ye Ping'an was laughing.
Yu Xiaogang immediately exploded, unleashing a furious, impotent rage at Ye Ping'an: " Ye Ping'an! You're the one who caused all this! The person you should be arresting is him, not me! I've truly been wronged!"
No matter how much Yu Xiaogang cried out, the soldiers ignored her; their orders were to bring Yu Xiaogang back.
Before the start of tomorrow's preliminary rounds, a public trial will be held to execute the criminal gang led by Yu Xiaogang and Shi Nian, in order to serve as a warning to the public.
The Clear Sky Sect is holding a funeral for the Seventh Elder and five elite disciples of the Clear Sky Sect.
In the years since the Clear Sky Sect closed its gates, it has been slowly recovering the lost vitality. Unexpectedly, this time it was plotted against by villains, which caused the Clear Sky Sect to lose a Titled Douluo elder.
The loss of Titled Douluo is unbearable for any force, even the Spirit Hall or the Clear Sky Sect; it would be a huge loss.
After witnessing the burial of the Seventh Elder's coffin, the Second Elder couldn't help but shed tears, and then said resolutely, "Fifth Elder."
"Yes!" the Fifth Elder replied hastily.
" The Clear Sky Sect must not forget its hatred, and the losses must be repaid a thousandfold. Prepare to go down the mountain, and this time you must bring back Yu Xiaogang's head," the Second Elder said solemnly.
"Yes!"
The Fifth Elder withdrew to prepare for his departure.
Tang Xiao remained silent. Mentioning Tang Hao at this moment would only backfire, because the elders only learned of the connection between Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao afterward.
It turns out that the guy who claimed to be Tang Xiao's illegitimate son a few months ago was actually Tang Hao's son and Yu Xiaogang's disciple.
This incident greatly angered the Second Elder and the others, because Tang San had learned all the skills of the Clear Sky Sect, which made them feel like they had been tricked, yet they were powerless to do anything about it.
" Tang Hao will never be able to return to the sect in this lifetime!"
These are the Second Elder's exact words.
Tang Yuehua sighed deeply. She had long advised her second brother to sever ties with Yu Xiaogang, but this had led to the current irreversible situation. What would become of the Clear Sky Sect in the future?
The next day, early morning.
Today, the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
As expected, Yu Xiaogang's "glorious" deeds spread throughout the city, instantly becoming the focus of the entire empire.
This guy has always wanted to be famous Douluo Continent, and now he's truly made a name for himself.
Before the fifth round of the qualifiers begins, there will be a special public trial.
The scene was filled with onlookers, all eager to witness the fate of Yu Xiaogang and Shi Nian.
"Wearing Yu Xiaogang, she took the stage at that Shi Nian."
As soon as the host finished speaking, accompanied by the clanging sound of iron chains, Yu Xiaogang and Shi Nian were brought in.
At that Shi Nian, Yu Xiaogang was disheveled, her Soul Power was completely destroyed, and her legs were broken. She was dragged onto the arena.
The two men trembled as they faced the scornful and disgusted gazes of tens of thousands of people present.
"So Yu Xiaogang has finally met his end. Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. What kind of punishment will someone like him receive?"
"Exile?"
"Life imprisonment?"
"Decapitation?"
"I think it's better to exterminate the entire clan."
"Ouch! Why did you hit me?"
"Are you stupid! This Yu Xiaogang was once a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Do you want the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to use this as an excuse to exterminate the entire family?"
"Oh."
"..."
A commotion arose around them, revealing many results that, in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, were all incredibly terrifying.
"It wasn't me! It wasn't me! I didn't do any of this!" Yu Xiaogang cried her heart out, shouting that she was innocent.
Shi Nian, with disheveled hair, knelt to one side, scoffing at Yu Xiaogang's performance. "When you found me, you should have expected this day to come. A real man knows when to stick his neck out and when to back down. Twenty years from now, he'll be a hero again!"
"It doesn't matter if you die! But I haven't taken my revenge yet! I won't be at peace until Ye Ping'an is dead!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot as he looked back at his seat in the VIP section. He knew that Ye Ping'an was sitting there, laughing at him.
Just then, Xue Ye slowly stood up, and everyone in the VIP seats also stood up.
"The public trial is now beginning!"
"The criminal, Shi Nian, as the leader of the Canghui Academy, openly assassinated the leader of a sect, seriously disregarding the laws of the empire. His actions are heinous."
" Canghui Academy is hereby disqualified from this year's All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. Shi Nian is hereby executed!"
As soon as Xue Ye delivered his verdict, soldiers immediately dragged Shi Nian away and carried out his death sentence.
Yu Xiaogang was so frightened that she lost control of her bladder and bowels. Was she about to die?
"I'm not reconciled! Why have I fallen to this state!"
" Ye Ping'an! You ruined me! Even as a ghost, I, Yu Xiaogang, will never forgive you!"
Immediately afterwards, Xue Ye turned his gaze to Yu Xiaogang, his eyes filled with disgust and loathing.
"The criminal Yu Xiaogang."
Yu Xiaogang trembled all over, not daring to look up. He remained silent, as if he understood his fate.
"As a teacher, you resorted to despicable means to exclude students, showing a complete lack of professional ethics; you were ruthless in framing Ye Ping'an, which is unheard of. You are not worthy of being called a human being."
"Since I ascended the throne, I have never seen such a heinous person!"
After hearing what he said, Yu Xiaogang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't listen to anything else after that.
"The verdict is as follows: The criminal Yu Xiaogang, as the leader of the Shrek Academy, instigated the assassination of a sect leader due to personal Shi Nian. He seriously disregarded the laws of the Empire and his crimes are heinous and unforgivable."
" Shrek Academy must pay Ye Ping'an a penalty of 100,000 Gold Soul Coin."
Flender breathed a sigh of relief. Losing 100,000 Gold Soul Coin was nothing, as long as Shrek Academy was not affected.
" Yu Xiaogang's actions will be included in the teaching materials of the entire academy of the Heaven Dou Empire as a warning to the students. Didn't you want to become famous throughout the continent?"
Yu Xiaogang trembled all over, her eyes shrinking as she looked at Xue Ye.
"I will spare your life, Heaven Dou Empire has no land to contain you. I will also have your deeds written down, so that all the people of the continent will know of you, and your infamy will be passed down for a thousand years, ten thousand years! A hundred thousand years! A million years! Forever!!!"
"Drag him away and give him one hundred lashes, then expel him from the Heaven Dou Empire. He shall never again set foot in the Empire, and if discovered, he shall be killed!"
Yu Xiaogang felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. As the soldiers dragged her away, she didn't forget to shout, " Ye Ping'an! I, Yu Xiaogang, will not let you get away with this!"
