Fifth Simulation 3
A blue figure, with lightning speed, crashed down in front of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's mountain gate like a thunderbolt!
This man had a cold and stern face, and looked to be in his sixties or seventies. His face was covered with wrinkles, but these wrinkles did not diminish his majesty. Instead, they made his face appear even more domineering and resolute, and tiny electric snakes could be faintly seen crawling around his body.
It was none other than Yu Yuanzhen, the current sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
After landing, he first glanced coldly at Fu Shiyan and the others, then fixed his gaze firmly on Fu Ze, who had just spoken, his pupils shrinking slightly.
[It's actually a level 96 Titled Douluo! His aura is deep and powerful, definitely not someone who's just entered this realm!]
Yu Yuanzhen was secretly alarmed; the opponent's strength was not to be underestimated.
Immediately, his naturally radiating domineering aura abruptly subsided, slightly easing the tense atmosphere.
He looked at Fu Ze and said in a deep voice:
"Is the Fu Family... going to war with my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Fu Ze glanced at Fu Shiyan behind him with a cryptic look, receiving a barely perceptible nod in response. He then turned back to Yu Yuanzhen, his tone calm yet carrying a stronger sense of skepticism:
"Shouldn't I be asking Sect Master Yu that question?"
He took a step forward, his aura as Titled Douluo subtly rivaling that of Yu Yuanzhen:
"They have detained an elder of my Beichen Fu Clan without cause and have yet to provide an explanation."
"Sect Master Yu, I would like to ask, does the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan intend to wage war against my Beichen Fu Clan?"
Yu Yuanzhen's expression faltered slightly, seemingly puzzled by Fu Ze's question. He asked in a gruff voice:
"Detaining your family elders? When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"
Behind him, the high-ranking members and elite disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan finally arrived late.
Yu Yuanzhen's gaze first fell on his second younger brother, the Second Elder Yu Luomian, who was in charge of handling the sect's daily affairs during his seclusion. His tone carried a questioning tone:
"Second brother, what happened?"
When Yu Luomian saw the sect leader's arrival and the overwhelming force of the opposing side, his body trembled slightly, as if he realized that he might have done something he shouldn't have.
But then he realized that he couldn't blame himself entirely, so he composed himself and replied to Yu Yuanzhen:
"Brother, here's what happened."
"A few days ago, two people from their sect came to the sect gate, saying they had important matters to discuss with you personally, elder brother."
"I tried to brush them off by saying that you were in seclusion and not receiving guests."
"But their words were earnest, and they said the matter was urgent, concerning the future of the sect."
He paused briefly, glanced at Fu Shiyan across from him who had a calm expression, and continued:
"Left with no other choice, I brought them into the sect and, as the acting sect leader, negotiated with them."
"Their purpose in coming here is to invite my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to join forces with their so-called ' Beichen Fu Clan ' to fight against the Spirit Hall!"
A hint of helplessness and resentment appeared on Yu Luomian's face:
"At first, I didn't directly agree or refuse. I just said that this matter was of great importance and that I needed to wait until you came out of seclusion, brother, to report to you one by one so that you could make the final decision. Was that inappropriate?"
He abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming slightly angry:
"Their leading elder Fu Lei, remained calm and didn't say anything."
However, the young man accompanying him had been looking around furtively ever since entering the sect, his eyes darting about as if searching for someone! His behavior was extremely rude!
Yu Luomian's voice rose slightly:
Finally, just as their elder was about to take his leave, that young lad couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up and rushed straight to me, asking, "Where is Yu Xiaogang?!"
"Yu Xiaogang!"
The moment the name was mentioned, the reactions of everyone present were somewhat subtle.
Yu Yuanzhen seemed to have thought of something, his face instantly darkened, and a hint of disgust and a deeper, more complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
The other elders and core disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan mostly showed expressions of disdain, mockery, or helplessness.
They thought of this so-called "Grandmaster" who had become a laughing stock on the mainland, who took some basic knowledge and theories monopolized by sects and nobles, made some minor adjustments, and published them, shamelessly putting his own name on them!
This behavior, coupled with his own unsavory talent and cowardly, stubborn personality, has always been considered a disgrace within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Tang San, who was watching from the sidelines, gritted his teeth upon hearing this name he hadn't heard in a long time, thinking to himself:
[Why is it this guy again? He's like a persistent ghost!]
He recalled the tragic future caused by Yu Xiaogang in the second Simulation, and felt no goodwill towards him, even deep hatred for him.
Yu Luomian continued, her tone excited:
"And the look on that boy's face when he asked the question made no attempt to hide his hatred!"
"I immediately realized that this kid must have a personal grudge against Xiao Gang. His so-called alliance was a pretense; his real intention was to cause trouble!"
"Therefore, I have even greater doubts and anger about this matter."
He omitted the parts of his potentially harsh language and concluded:
"Afterwards, I had a verbal altercation with the two of them, and in a fit of anger... I temporarily detained them in the sect's guest quarters, intending to wait until you, elder brother, came out of seclusion before making a decision."
"It is not intentional to be an enemy of the ' Beichen Fu Clan '."
Fu Shiyan also stepped aside at the opportune moment and slowly walked to a position half a step in front of Fu Ze.
He calmly looked at Yu Luomian, then turned to Yu Yuanzhen, and said:
"So that's how it is. It was a misunderstanding, mixed with personal grudges, that led to the detention of my clan elders and disciples."
"Now that the truth is out, Sect Master Yu, may you order the safe return of my Beichen Fu Clan members?"
Yu Luomian turned his gaze to Yu Yuanzhen, seeking instructions.
Yu Yuanzhen glared at his second brother, who sometimes acted inappropriately, with displeasure.
However, their sect is currently in the wrong, and the other party's strength is unknown while their attitude is aggressive.
He weighed the pros and cons in his mind, then waved his hand and said in a deep voice:
Release them.
Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied:
"Yes, brother!"
He then quickly turned and sped towards the sect.
Before long, Yu Luomian led the two back to the mountain gate.
One of them was about fifty years old, with a calm and resolute face. Although his casual clothes were slightly disheveled, his eyes were clear and his breathing was steady. Fu Lei, one of the Fu Family's foreign affairs elders who had been detained.
The other person was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. His face was somewhat pale, and his eyes were filled with resentment and lingering fear. He was the young man who had impulsively asked about Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts.
Fu Lei seeing Fu Shiyan and Fu Ze, a flicker of excitement and guilt flashed in Fu Lei's eyes. He quickly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.
"Young Master! Elder Fu Ze! Your subordinate has failed in his duties and brought shame upon the family!"
The young man quickly followed, head bowed, not daring to speak.
