Yu Xiaogang Vomits Blood

Just as expected, he was mud that couldn't be made into a wall—a useless piece of trash who only knew how to plagiarize. He couldn't even recognize a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.

Qian Xunji shot Yu Xiaogang a disdainful glance and suddenly came up with an excellent plan—one that would not kill Yu Xiaogang and drive Bibi Dong mad enough to commit suicide, yet would utterly destroy everything Yu Xiaogang had, turning him into a sewer rat struggling to survive as a clown. It might even make Bibi Dong change her mind and return to become a family again.

"Hey, you called Er Long. Which member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is your father?"

Liu Erlong struggled to her feet, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and shouted angrily, "What does that have to do with you? Release Xiao Gang now! You abused Xiao Gang without even distinguishing right from wrong. You are completely unworthy of being the Pope of Spirit Hall, and Spirit Hall is unworthy of ruling the soul masters of the continent!"

Liu Erlong had never held the slightest favorable impression of Spirit Hall. First of all, her biological father was Yu Luomian, one of the heads of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. No matter how stubbornly she denied it, she still acknowledged him as her father in her heart. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disliked Spirit Hall, so naturally she did as well. Secondly, Yu Xiaogang had told them of his miserable experiences in Spirit Hall. With those two factors combined, she felt nothing but disgust toward Spirit Hall.

Qian Xunji sneered. "Fool. You want to know whose son Yu Xiaogang is in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Come to think of it, you two are relatives."

Liu Erlong immediately roared, "Impossible! Xiao Gang's Martial Soul is Luo Sanpao, a little pig. It is not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon at all!"

"Let Yu Xiaogang answer for himself." Qian Xunji released him, clasped his hands behind his back, and quietly considered all the possibilities that might follow.

After escaping Qian Xunji's grasp, Yu Xiaogang coughed violently several times and drew several deep breaths. Then he looked at Liu Erlong, uncertain whether he should ask. After all, he was the most useless person in the history of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and had disgraced the clan. He hoped they were cousins, so that even if Liu Erlong learned his identity, their relationship could still continue.

From Yu Xiaogang's expression, Liu Erlong guessed that Qian Xunji had not lied. She grabbed Yu Xiaogang by the shoulders and bluntly said, "Xiao Gang, my father is Yu Luomian. Who is your father? Don't worry. No matter who your father is, I will never despise you, because I have already fallen deeply in love with you."

Hearing this, Flender's heart was filled with disappointment and blessings. Yu Xiaogang, meanwhile, was completely stunned. It felt as if he had suffered ten thousand critical blows, and his entire body began to tremble madly, as though he could not accept this reality.

Even Qian Xunji froze. Well, well. He had thought the two were merely cousins, so he could mock Yu Xiaogang, that useless plagiarist who could not even recognize a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. Instead, this was an absolute bombshell.

Among the several hundred direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, cousin pairings only made up a fraction of them, yet they had actually run into one!

Liu Erlong anxiously shook Yu Xiaogang. "Xiao Gang, say something! Don't worry, I will never despise you."

Qian Xunji said flatly, "Allow me to explain. Yu Xiaogang is the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. In other words, he is either your older male cousin or younger male cousin."

"Impossible! This is impossible! Xiao Gang, tell me this isn't true! This damn Pope is talking nonsense!" Tears had already spilled from Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes. Cousins—cousins in love. This was a forbidden love on the continent, a disgrace to their clan and even the entire continent.

Yu Xiaogang no longer wanted to say anything. He only wanted to flee this place, flee immediately, flee this place of heartbreak, and run somewhere Liu Erlong could never find him.

Yu Xiaogang climbed to his feet, leaving even his theory books on the ground, and ran away as fast as he could. However, a pulling force surged from behind him, and Yu Xiaogang once again became like a chick, lifted in Qian Xunji's hand.

"Qian Xunji, let me go! If you have the guts, kill me! What kind of skill is humiliating me?" Yu Xiaogang roared like a madman. Between dignity and life, he chose dignity. His life was worthless anyway. There was nothing left he cared about; dying meant nothing.

"Humiliate you? Are you even worthy of being humiliated by me? Before I came, I made it very clear—the secret of the Angel Martial Soul's Innate Soul Power. Yet you actually dared to openly report this matter back to your clan!" Qian Xunji's voice was incomparably cold, and the killing intent within it made the three members of the Golden Iron Triangle shudder.

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth. "I revealed that before I agreed to your terms. As for everything else, I, Yu Xiaogang, guarantee on my honor that I truly said nothing."

Qian Xunji said disdainfully, "I do not trust the honor of a selfish thief like you!"

"I've already said what I had to say. What can I do if you refuse to believe me?" Yu Xiaogang's eyes burned with fury. At this moment, how badly he wished he had strength—immense strength, strength enough to destroy Spirit Hall—so he could stomp Qian Xunji beneath his feet.

Qian Xunji said coldly, "Swear it. Swear upon your Martial Soul. Kneel and swear it, or I can destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan at any time on the charge of stealing Spirit Hall's core secrets. That old dragon Yu Longchen, whose vitality has run dry, is not qualified to stop me!"

"Xiao Gang, you can't!"

"Xiao Gang, you absolutely cannot kneel!"

Flender and Liu Erlong both shouted.

Bang! Bang! With two deafening blasts, Qian Xunji sent Flender and Liu Erlong flying with a slap each. "Do not assume my temper is truly so good."

"I'll kneel. I'll kneel. I swear!" Yu Xiaogang forced out the words as though squeezing toothpaste from a tube. He could die, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could not perish because of him. His clansmen treated him poorly, mocked him, and ridiculed him, but his father and second uncle had never shown him any less care. They had never mocked him because of his useless Martial Soul.

"Right here. Begin." Qian Xunji's voice was icy and utterly devoid of emotion.

Feeling the two gazes behind him, especially that of Liu Erlong, the woman he loved, and thinking of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang ultimately knelt. Raising his right hand, he said, "I, Yu Xiaogang, swear to Heaven that I will never reveal even the slightest secret information concerning Spirit Hall. Otherwise, may my Martial Soul shatter and may I die a miserable death for all eternity!"

The moment his words fell, it was as though Yu Xiaogang had been drained of all strength. He collapsed limply to the ground.

"Remember your oath." Qian Xunji cast Yu Xiaogang one final disdainful glance before leaving.

"Xiao Gang! Xiao Gang, are you all right? How are you?" Flender and Liu Erlong ran over and gathered around Yu Xiaogang.

Yet Yu Xiaogang could not hear either of them at all. The scene of him kneeling before Qian Xunji and making that humiliating oath replayed over and over in his mind.

Then Yu Xiaogang's eyes turned blood-red. With the last of his strength, he roared, "I, Yu Xiaogang, will never coexist with Spirit Hall under the same sky! In this life, I will surely destroy Spirit Hall!"

After saying that, Yu Xiaogang spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
