Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan (Part 2)

Yu Yuanzhen caught the mockery in Mo Lin's words, but he did not get angry, because he felt Mo Lin had not said anything wrong. No faction could grow powerful by relying solely on honorable methods. Without some underhanded tricks, it was impossible.

However, Clear Sky Sect had always maintained an image that was far too "great, glorious, and righteous" since its founding. Thus, whenever anything bad happened in the Soul Master world, no one would ever associate it with Clear Sky Sect. Yu Yuanzhen had naturally suffered from this as well. Whenever something unpleasant occurred, the first mastermind he thought of was always Spirit Hall. He had never considered whether Clear Sky Sect might have done it. How could such an "upright," "kind and amiable" sect possibly harm others?

Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen could not think of any reason why Clear Sky Sect would be determined to kill his younger sister.

"What reason could they have? My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has never had any conflict with Clear Sky Sect, much less a grudge. Why would they kill her?"

Mo Lin paced a few steps, feigning profundity.

"Perhaps... she simply fell in love with someone she should not have loved."

Only then did Yu Yuanzhen remember that he still did not know who his younger sister had run away with.

Mo Lin then began recounting the love story between his parents as he understood it, making it as moving and evocative as possible so that Yu Yuanzhen would shift all of his hatred onto Clear Sky Sect.

From a certain perspective, Yu Yuanling had been hunted to death by Clear Sky Sect because of Mo Di. Just as Spirit Hall had severely crippled Clear Sky Sect back then while also inflicting heavy losses on the four single-attribute clans, causing those four clans to hate Clear Sky Sect as well, Yu Yuanzhen would certainly hold some prejudice against Mo Lin's father, Mo Di.

However, Mo Di had sacrificed his life first in order to protect Yu Yuanling and Mo Lin, which was fundamentally different from Clear Sky Sect simply retreating into seclusion for its own sake. Therefore, Mo Lin was extremely confident that after hearing his account, Yu Yuanzhen would definitely join their revenge.

After hearing Mo Lin's story, Yu Yuanzhen already understood why Mo Lin had come. He hoped the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would join them in seeking revenge. As Yu Yuanling's older brother, regardless of whether there was solid evidence, this was something he had to do.

But as the head of a sect, he could not consider only himself. Clear Sky Sect's title as the number one sect under heaven had been earned through real strength. Though it had suffered a severe blow and remained in seclusion for many years, he had no idea how much strength it currently possessed. In any case, it was far stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Mo Lin naturally saw Yu Yuanzhen's concerns and continued.

"Uncle, if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is willing to join this revenge, then we will have five Title Douluo."

"Five?! You mean the family on your father's side has four Title Douluo?"

Yu Yuanzhen was instantly stunned.

It was hardly surprising that Yu Yuanzhen was shocked. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had only one Title Douluo—himself—while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had merely two, Sword and Bone Douluo. This meant the Mo Family's strength exceeded the combined strength of those two sects. In his eyes, aside from Spirit Hall, no other faction could reliably suppress the Mo Family. The Mo Family could have simply attacked on its own.

Mo Lin pushed Mo Jia in front of Yu Yuanzhen.

"Uncle, let me introduce you. This is my younger uncle, Mo Jia, the Mo Family's second strongest expert, a level ninety-five Title Douluo."

Mo Jia clasped his hands and bowed as well.

"Greetings, Sect Master Yu. I have long admired your reputation."

After having his mind blown again and again, Yu Yuanzhen was nearly unable to take it anymore. The second strongest expert was a Title Douluo at the same level as him, so the Mo Family's strongest expert had to be level ninety-six or above—at the very least, an existence on Chen Xin's level.

"Since the Mo Family already possesses such strength, you can take revenge immediately!"

Mo Lin shook his head.

"Although we now have five Title Douluo, it still is not safe enough. According to the information I obtained, including Tang Hao, Clear Sky Sect should have seven Title Douluo. Among them, Tang Hao is level ninety-five, while Tang Xiao should be approaching level ninety-seven. Uncle, do you still think we can take revenge immediately?"

Yu Yuanzhen's expression instantly turned grave.

"I never expected that after suffering such a devastating blow back then, Clear Sky Sect would not only recover over these years, but become even stronger than it was over a decade ago. Is this the foundation of the number one sect under heaven?"

"Furthermore, aside from top-tier combat strength, our mid- and lower-level forces are still far inferior to Clear Sky Sect's. But if we want to change that within a few years, we only need to find one person. Uncle, you should know exactly who that person is." Mo Lin said.

Yu Yuanzhen immediately understood whom Mo Lin meant.

"You mean Xiaogang? But..."

"Uncle, let me ask you something. Did my cousin Yu Xiaogang leave by his own choice back then, or was he truly expelled by you or the elders?" The answer to this question was very important to Mo Lin. It would directly determine how he brought Yu Xiaogang over to his side.

Yu Yuanzhen sat down on a stool and sighed.

"This matter is complicated. If I have to explain it, both factors played a part. But in the end, it was indeed the elders who made the decision to expel Xiaogang. Ever since Xiaogang's martial soul was confirmed to be a martial soul that had not mutated in a positive direction, he naturally endured plenty of mockery as the sect master's son. But it was only among his peers. Because of me, the elders did not dare say anything openly. It was not as if I had never forcibly suppressed those who mocked him.

"But as the sect master, I could not keep forcibly suppressing my sect's disciples forever. Moreover, my actions hurt Xiaogang's pride to some extent and gave others even more to gossip about. Xiaogang then proposed leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but every time he brought it up, I refused. His strength was at most that of a Grand Soul Master, and he had not even reached Grand Soul Master rank at the time. How could I possibly let him leave the sect?

"However, some things were beyond my control. As time passed, all kinds of rumors about Xiaogang grew increasingly rampant within the sect. On top of that, more and more talented disciples emerged from the new generation. Xiaogang, a child completely without cultivation talent, was pushed to the center of the storm.

"Several infamous troublemakers from Xiaogang's generation said, 'The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan does not need trash. Yu Xiaogang has no right to stay here.' The calls to expel Xiaogang grew louder and louder, and the situation had already gone beyond my control. In the end, the elders decided to expel Yu Xiaogang in order to end that wave of public opinion within the sect, which had begun to affect its normal operations. Although I was the sect master, I had to admit that at the time, expelling Xiaogang was the best and fastest way to return the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to normal."

Yu Yuanzhen clenched both fists, regret and anger appearing on his face.

Mo Lin held his chin, thinking about how to handle this matter. After pondering for a while, he said, "Uncle, as sect master, can you write a letter representing both the sect and yourself?"

"Representing myself personally would naturally not be a problem. But if it is to represent the sect without informing those elders of its contents, there would still be quite a bit of trouble." Yu Yuanzhen said.

"Then if those elders have no time to interfere, wouldn't all authority be in your hands?" Mo Lin smiled. His smile made him seem exceptionally dangerous.

"You wouldn't..." Yu Yuanzhen said.

"Don't worry. My younger uncle knows how to exercise restraint."
