Dugu Bo to Punish Han Yu? Xue Xing's Fury: What the Hell Is Ling Tian Sect?!

Han Yu slowly withdrew his right hand and looked down at the three bedraggled men. His voice was utterly flat:

"The three great Education Committee Members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy are nothing special."

"Y-you... who exactly are you...?"

Meng Shenji clutched his chest, his voice trembling.

"Go back and tell that old man Xue Ye."

Han Yu ignored his question entirely and turned toward Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

"I spared your lives today so you could deliver a message.

I'll spare Xue Beng's life for now. But if the Heaven Dou Imperial Family dares provoke Ling Tian Sect again..."

Han Yu paused slightly and turned his head, his cold gaze sweeping over the three men from the corner of his eye.

"Next time, it won't be his back that gets torn apart, but the entire Heaven Dou Imperial City."

With that, Han Yu looked at the still-dazed Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, his voice returning to calm.

"Lingling, Yanyan, let's go."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance, but their steps were hesitant.

"Sect Master..."

Dugu Yan bit her lip, her face filled with uncertainty.

"We're still students of the Royal Academy, after all. Today's matter has become so serious..."

Ye Lingling also said softly:

"Yes, Sect Master. If we just leave like this, then the academy..."

Amid the ruins, Meng Shenji endured the agonizing pain and struggled to raise his head, shouting urgently:

"Yanyan!

Lingling!

You absolutely cannot go with him!"

Zhi Lin clutched his chest as well and gritted his teeth.

"You are the elites of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Are you going to follow this madman and betray the empire?!"

Meng Shenji stared fixedly at Dugu Yan, panting heavily as he tried to persuade her.

"Dugu Yan, even if you don't think for yourself, you must think of your grandfather!

Poison Douluo is a retainer at Prince Xue Xing's Mansion, and His Highness the Prince has always strongly supported the Fourth Prince!

If you leave today with this criminal who severely wounded the Fourth Prince, how will your grandfather explain himself to Prince Xue Xing?

You'll be putting Poison Douluo in an impossible position!"

At those words, Dugu Yan's face went pale, and a flicker of struggle flashed through her eyes.

"An explanation?

An impossible position?"

As though he had heard a joke, Han Yu could not help but sneer.

He looked down at Meng Shenji, his eyes full of mockery.

"Old fool, your information is far too outdated.

Dugu Bo is now a member of my Ling Tian Sect."

"What?!"

Meng Shenji and the other two looked as if they had been struck by lightning, their faces filled with disbelief.

The mighty Poison Douluo had actually joined this young man?!

Han Yu ignored their shock, his tone growing even colder.

"Xue Xing did indeed show Dugu Bo kindness back then, but what does that have to do with trash like Xue Beng?

Since you insist on using Xue Xing to pressure others..."

Han Yu snorted, flicked his sleeve, and turned away.

"After I return, I'll personally bring Dugu Bo to Prince Xue Xing's Mansion for a proper 'visit'!

I'd like to see whether he dares demand this explanation!"

With that, Han Yu looked at the two women, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Are you not leaving yet?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's concerns instantly vanished. She took Ye Lingling's hand and followed Han Yu without hesitation.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

After leaving the Mimicry Training Area.

Dugu Yan followed closely behind Han Yu, but ultimately could not hold back her question.

"Sect Master, my grandfather... really joined Ling Tian Sect?"

Han Yu did not slow his pace, his voice calm.

"I cured the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison in both your bodies. Naturally, he had to pay the corresponding price. What, do you think I wronged him?"

"No, no, no!"

Dugu Yan shook her head repeatedly, her eyes full of excitement and reverence.

"Grandfather always said that poison had no cure. Sect Master, your great kindness is something Yanyan could never repay, even in death!

No wonder Grandfather had been nowhere to be seen lately. So he had been helping the Sect Master with your affairs."

Han Yu nodded slightly, then turned to Ye Lingling.

"Lingling, once we return, immediately enter seclusion and take the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma.

Once your strength improves, there will be no need to remain in this filthy Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Lingling understands!"

Ye Lingling tightly gripped the brocade box containing the Immortal Herb, her gaze incomparably resolute.

Elsewhere, within the training area that had been reduced to ruins.

Only after confirming that the auras of Han Yu's group had completely vanished did Meng Shenji suddenly cough up a mouthful of blood.

Forcing his heavily injured body onward, he crawled toward Xue Beng, who lay in a pool of blood.

"Your Highness!

Your Highness, wake up!"

Zhi Lin and Bai Baoshan also staggered over, supporting one another.

Zhi Lin reached out to check Xue Beng's breathing, his expression turning incomparably grim.

"His life has been saved, but his spine and heart meridians were injured. Even if he recovers, he will likely suffer irreversible aftereffects."

Bai Baoshan's voice trembled, his eyes filled with lingering fear.

"Big Brother, what do we do now?

What kind of monster is that kid?

And Poison Douluo changing sides..."

"What else can we do?!"

Meng Shenji gritted his teeth, fear and gravity intertwined in his eyes.

"Immediately seal off all information from the academy!

Baoshan, quickly find the best healing-type Soul Master. Spare no cost to stabilize the Fourth Prince's injuries!"

"Zhi Lin, come with me to the palace immediately!"

Meng Shenji drew a deep breath and looked toward the Imperial Palace.

"Ling Tian Sect has emerged out of nowhere, and Poison Douluo has changed sides...

We must report this to His Majesty and Prince Xue Xing at once!

Heaven Dou City... is about to change!"

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

Bang—!

Xue Ye slammed his palm onto the desk and rose abruptly, glaring at Meng Shenji and Zhi Lin below, who were supporting each other and covered in blood.

"What did you say?!

Xue Beng has been crippled?!"

Prince Xue Xing, standing nearby, was even more enraged. He stepped forward, seized Meng Shenji by the collar, and roared:

"At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, right under the eyes of you three Education Committee Members, who could have injured Xue Beng so badly?!"

Meng Shenji gave a miserable smile and answered weakly:

"Your Highness, the one who injured him... was a young man named Han Yu."

"A young man?"

Prince Xue Xing laughed in fury.

"A young man could severely wound two Soul Douluo above rank eighty?

Meng Shenji, do you take me for a three-year-old child?!"

Zhi Lin clutched his chest and answered bitterly.

"Your Highness, it was not just the two of us. Bai Baoshan was defeated as well.

That Han Yu... used only one move to break through the combined defense of all three of us."

The Imperial Study instantly fell deathly silent.

Xue Ye's pupils suddenly contracted, and his voice sank.

"One move to severely injure three Soul Douluo?

Just who is this man? Which force stands behind him?"

"He claimed to be the Sect Master of 'Ling Tian Sect.'"

Meng Shenji drew a deep breath and spoke in a trembling voice beneath Xue Ye's terrifying pressure.

"Your Majesty, he also took Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling away..."

"Outrageous!"

Prince Xue Xing flew into a rage, a vicious glint flashing through his eyes.

"Who cares what Ling Tian Sect is!

He dared lay hands on members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. I will have him torn to pieces!

I'll invite Poison Douluo to act at once. We cannot let that brat leave Heaven Dou City alive!"
