Mu En: Kids, You're Going to Kill Me with Anger

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Masters could only absorb Soul Rings produced by draconic Soul Beasts, so this Soul Bone undoubtedly came from a draconic Soul Beast at the very least. It was a modestly valuable find.

After looting the bodies, Qiangu Yunche did not involve himself in his sister's battle.

He could tell that Qiangu Yunmei had always yearned for a genuine life-or-death battle. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Douluo, whose Soul Power was only around level eighty-one or eighty-two, had completely ignited her fighting spirit. The longer she fought, the more exhilarated and powerful she became.

Qiangu Yunche walked over to Xu Jiujiu. After nodding to Nebula Douluo, he spoke.

"Jiujiu, sorry for wrecking your place. We'll cover all the renovation costs afterward, so don't worry about that."

Xu Jiujiu burst into laughter and said coquettishly, "So you know this is my place? Then why did you show me so little respect? You could have gone outside to fight."

"Some people have had enough of living. There's nothing we can do about that." Qiangu Yunche shrugged, completely unconcerned.

"Hmph. Let me remind you, Your Highness, that you've thoroughly offended the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which has been passed down for ten thousand years. Hurry and choose to join the imperial family. Then the imperial family can step in and portray those three as half-fallen Soul Masters who committed every evil imaginable. We might even help you demand a generous compensation payment from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan." Xu Jiujiu continued in a sweet voice.

"So the dagger finally comes out." Qiangu Yunche rolled his eyes. "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon split into three branches ten thousand years ago: the Heavenly Dragon Gate branch of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the present Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan branch, and Yu Xiaogang's descendants, whose close inbreeding made inheritance difficult but produced mutated bloodlines one after another."

"Taken separately, these three branches can only be considered first-rate forces on the continent. Unless someone can unite them, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can forget about recreating the glory of being the continent's third great sect ten thousand years ago."

"Those three idiots probably came from the current Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but so what? If they lack the foundation of a super first-rate force, they shouldn't put on the airs of one. Anyone who didn't know better would think Dragon God Douluo was backing them..."

Xu Jiujiu covered her lips and chuckled. Clearly, she understood this better than Qiangu Yunche did.

This world spoke through strength. Without sufficient power, no matter how prosperous one had once been, one would ultimately be swallowed by the great waves of the era and become a sacrifice commemorating the previous age.

The Tang Sect was the best example.

"That may be true, but I didn't expect you to know about Dragon God Douluo from over two hundred years ago." Xu Jiujiu sounded somewhat moved.

"I know something that will shock you even more." Qiangu Yunche smiled.

"What is it? Tell me." Xu Jiujiu's eyes lit up. Secret intelligence was what she loved most.

"Dragon God Douluo is still alive. He is still the Master of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy." Qiangu Yunche lowered his voice.

Once those words fell, Xu Jiujiu's eyes widened in shock. "Dragon God Douluo is still alive? Are you sure?"

"Certain beyond doubt."

"Then you still killed those three idiots?" Xu Jiujiu frowned in confusion.

"Relax. Do geniuses who join Shrek Academy still have anything to do with their former clans? The answer is no." Qiangu Yunche said softly, "Dragon God Douluo is now only Shrek Academy's Dragon God Douluo, not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Dragon God Douluo. Besides, that man's vision and judgment are fairly clear."

Xu Jiujiu frowned and pondered it. Although she did not know Dragon God Douluo's character, there was indeed nothing wrong with Qiangu Yunche's other words.

Joining Shrek Academy was equivalent to completely drawing a line between oneself and one's former clan or faction. This was a widely accepted understanding among the continent's upper circles.

"Forget it. Let's not talk about this for now. Let's keep watching the battle..."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jiujiu pulled Qiangu Yunche along to continue watching Qiangu Yunmei's fight. Her gaze was burning, especially whenever it fell upon that blood-red Soul Ring, and Qiangu Yunche took all of it in...

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

During those ten days, Star Luo City remained calm. The commotion at the Starlight Auction House and above Star Luo City existed in many people's memories like an illusion, yet no one dared mention it again.

On the third day after the incident, the Star Luo Imperial Family issued a condemnation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members who had used force to oppress others and seize someone else's auction item at the Starlight Auction House. It immediately caused no small stir throughout the Soul Master world.

After all, this matter was no longer merely about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reputation. More importantly, those three had also offended the Star Luo Imperial Family and another powerful reclusive clan. Though they were already dead, the trouble they left behind remained extraordinarily difficult to handle.

Under immense public pressure, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which had remained hidden for thousands of years, dispatched a Title Douluo to Star Luo City the next day to handle the matter in full. Only after paying an enormous price did they barely manage to settle it.

At this moment, thousands of miles away.

On the tranquil and peaceful Sea God Island of Shrek Academy, a scene that had not appeared for many years was also unfolding.

Within the Sea God Pavilion, which was filled with an aura of light, a thin and withered old man with an aged face steeped in the air of death lay quietly in a reclining chair. Only after the middle-aged man before him had explained the entire matter did the old man slowly raise his clouded eyes and speak in a calm tone.

"Haochuan, you are confused. When your grandfather handed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to you, he hoped you would restore the clan's glory from ten thousand years ago. Yet you neglected to restrain the clan's powerful members and younger generation, allowing them to commit all kinds of misdeeds outside under the clan's name. They even did something as disgraceful as seizing another person's auction item on the Star Luo Imperial Family's territory. Tell me, are you satisfied with what the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has become?"

Yu Haochuan lowered his head. Though he maintained the appearance of a middle-aged man, he was actually over ninety years old. He belonged to the same generation as Bright Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe. After the previous Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan leader passed away, he had inherited the position of clan leader.

The person capable of making such a high-ranking and powerful Title Douluo behave so obediently and respectfully was naturally Dragon God Douluo Mu En, who had also been born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

After a moment of silence, Yu Haochuan suddenly dropped to both knees. He then slowly raised his head, tears already glimmering in his eyes.

"Elder Mu, every fault is mine. What is done cannot be undone, and I know nothing can be salvaged now. But although Zhenshan and Yuanhao made mistakes, their crimes did not warrant death!"

"They were the hope of the clan's revival, yet not even a complete corpse remains of them. Even the Soul Bones on their bodies were never returned. The Star Luo Empire and that reclusive clan have acted far too tyrannically and unreasonably..."

"Foolish! How do you still have the nerve to call them tyrannical and unreasonable?"

What kind of person was Mu En? In an instant, he saw through Yu Haochuan's true thoughts. His calm temperament, cultivated through years of self-discipline, was utterly shattered by the many messes of recent days. An indescribable fury and disappointment surged into his heart, making him cough violently several times.

Tears slid from the corners of Yu Haochuan's eyes. He wanted to rise and step forward, but Mu En, whose face had taken on an unnatural flush, stopped him.

Mu En took a deep breath. The air of death around him seemed to grow even thicker, and even his vitality and spirit appeared to decline considerably in an instant.

"From today onward, take the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into complete seclusion. Do not concern yourselves with worldly affairs again, and do not casually allow clan disciples to travel the continent. Otherwise, I dare say that the next thing awaiting the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will be a truly catastrophic disaster!"
