The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Pig-Slaughtering Scheme

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

Over sixty percent of the spirit masters were filled with complaints.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had lost a significant amount in this round of betting as well.

Because Yu Yuanzhen did not dare to take risks, he had allowed any spirit master in the sect who was willing to try their luck to do so, without restricting the number of participants in the slightest.

This led to a trend where the mentality of "betting a bicycle to win a motorcycle" influenced quite a few people.

Who wouldn't want to get rich overnight or become stronger in a single night?

Now that a shortcut was laid out before them, naturally, many scrambled to take it.

Yet, the result now left many so devastated they felt like hanging themselves.

What they lost in this bet was years of their hard cultivation.

No one could accept such a massive loss.

Some had even staked their entire net worth, all for the sake of overtaking others on a curve.

However, they did not wait for heaven-sent riches.

They only waited for a shocking piece of bad news.

"How could it be like this? Didn't the elders say this was an opportunity?"

"Why is the result different from what was expected?"

"Let's go, we'll find an elder and demand justice."

Sixty percent of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's spirit masters spontaneously gathered together.

They had lost too much this time.

They had to find someone to take the blame.

The elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who had taken the lead became the targets of everyone's crusade.

If it weren't for the elders leading the way in betting and claiming it was an opportunity, how could so many people in the sect have blindly followed the trend?

True Dragon Mountain, Main Hall...

The group of elders felt their heads throbbing, hoping Yu Yuanzhen would make a decision.

In this round of betting, they, the elders, had lost no less than anyone else.

They were victims too!

The sect disciples were demanding an explanation from them.

This was purely a case of being unable to accept defeat.

Under normal circumstances, these elders would have slapped them away long ago.

As high-ranking elders of the sect, their status was incredibly esteemed.

For mere disciples to dare to commit insubordination was simply courting death.

But now, there were too many disciples who couldn't accept the loss.

Even if the elders wanted to suppress them by force, they had to consider the consequences.

After all, whoever stepped forward would become the villain in the eyes of sixty percent of the sect's disciples.

No one wanted to be that sacrificial lamb.

Consequently, everyone ran to Yu Yuanzhen to air their grievances.

The underlying meaning of their words was the same.

They wanted Yu Yuanzhen to step forward to appease the crowd and resolve this turmoil.

Yu Yuanzhen saw through these old fellows' ill intentions at a glance; he wouldn't fall for it!

Too many disciples in the sect had suffered losses this time, and their combined resentment was even more terrifying than the Evil Sword Immortal.

Yu Yuanzhen couldn't think of any good way to appease their anger.

Unless he opened the sect's treasury and took out resources to compensate everyone.

Otherwise, the resentment in their hearts could never be easily resolved.

But that was a completely unrealistic fantasy.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was not a charity!

How could they do such a foolish thing?

Every bit of the sect's resources had to be spent where it mattered most, to cultivate the pillars of the sect.

Ordinary disciples simply had no right to enjoy these resources.

If resources were not concentrated, how could the sect's future powerhouses grow?

If they were distributed to ordinary disciples, it would be digging up the very roots of the sect's future.

As Sect Master, Yu Yuanzhen would never do something so foolish.

Regardless, the sect disciples were simply unhappy.

Pushing an elder out to take the blame would be enough to let the matter rest.

"Enough, this matter ends here!"

"Everyone, make sure to appease the disciples of your respective peaks upon returning."

Yu Yuanzhen tapped the table, dismissing everyone directly!

As these words fell, the elders wore bitter expressions.

"Damn it!"

"This hot potato has been pushed back to us!"

Since Yu Yuanzhen wouldn't handle it, they had to find someone to bear the brunt of the fire.

As the saying goes, better a fellow daoist dies than oneself!

It was better for one person to be scolded than for the whole group to suffer.

They looked at each other, calculating in their hearts who to push out as the scapegoat.

"Sect Master, did you see something wrong early on?"

"Is that why you didn't participate in the betting this time?"

Yu Luomian stared straight at Yu Yuanzhen, his tone chillingly cold.

He had suffered a massive loss this time.

Without ten years of bitter cultivation, he would never recover the lost soul power.

Originally, Yu Luomian had intended to use this opportunity to step into the realm of Title Douluo in one go.

Yet, who could have imagined such a cruel outcome?

At this moment, Yu Luomian felt like killing someone.

They had all lost money.

Seeing such an opportunity laid out before them, no one could resist the temptation.

Yet, Yu Yuanzhen had not participated at all.

At first, Yu Luomian had mocked Yu Yuanzhen for being timid.

But thinking about it carefully now, Yu Luomian suddenly felt something was off.

Yu Yuanzhen must have seen something, which was why he didn't join the betting.

If that were truly the case, then Yu Yuanzhen deserved to die!

As the head of the sect, Yu Yuanzhen had seen the trickery but hadn't warned everyone.

This was simply a case of being unworthy of his position.

Yu Yuanzhen had to compensate everyone for their losses.

Yu Luomian's questioning was like a sharp blade pointed directly at Yu Yuanzhen.

The elders all turned their gazes toward Yu Yuanzhen.

Had Yu Luomian not spoken, they wouldn't have thought in that direction.

Now that they were reminded, they also felt something was wrong.

Almost all the high-level members of the sect had gone to take a gamble.

Only Yu Yuanzhen had remained as steady as Mount Tai.

"Sect Master, you are being too underhanded."

"Since you saw the trickery, why didn't you warn everyone?"

"Do you know how much the sect has lost this time?"

"As the Sect Master, you should lead the sect toward a better future."

"Yet now, you haven't fulfilled the responsibilities a Sect Master should bear."

"Are you worthy of everyone's trust?"

The crowd pointed their fingers at Yu Yuanzhen.

They didn't care whether Yu Yuanzhen was truly innocent or not.

In any case, they would pin this blame on him first.

Yu Yuanzhen had a strong backbone; carrying a scapegoat wasn't a big deal for him.

As for the sect disciples, even if they were given a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare come to settle accounts with Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Yuanzhen's face darkened as he retorted.

"Baseless!"

"I did not participate in the betting simply because I have no desire to rely on external forces to grow stronger."

"I, Yu Yuanzhen, have my own pride."

"I rely solely on my own hard work and talent to step, one by one, toward the path to the heavens."

Yu Yuanzhen would never admit, even if beaten to death, that he harbored any ulterior motives.

The reputation of a sect master must remain untarnished.

With that said, Yu Yuanzhen unleashed a terrifying pressure from his entire body.

His intent was clear: should anyone dare to point their finger at him again, he would not be so polite.

As a sect master, he was certainly not a soft-hearted man.

Yu Luomian let out a cold snort.

He did not believe a word of Yu Yuanzhen's high-sounding lies.

However, since things had reached this point and Yu Yuanzhen refused to budge, Yu Luomian could not force the blame onto him.

They would simply have to accept their bad luck.

Unwilling to waste any more time, Yu Luomian turned and strode out of the great hall without a backward glance.

Having lost this time, he was determined to win it back in the next.

He refused to believe that his luck, Yu Luomian's luck, could be so wretched as to keep losing forever.
