Yu Luomian, Blue Lightning Clan's Second-in-Command; Flander Arrives

"Wuwuwuwu~" Yu Xiaogang wore an expression of utter agony, his heart as dead as ashes.

Right now, he could only place all his hopes on Flander and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If they did not come to save him, Yu Xiaogang would surely die.

Qian Xunye would give him at most half a month. If Bibi Dong did not appear after half a month... (Ten days was too short; changed to half a month.)

Then he would publicly behead Yu Xiaogang!

This matter swiftly shocked all of Notting City and spread across the continent within two days.

At Shrek Academy near Soto City.

When Headmaster Flander received the news, his fury instantly soared to the heavens. "Who is it?! How dare they treat Xiaogang like this! Bastard, touching my brother means you're courting death!"

"Xiaogang! Wait for me! I, Flander, am coming to Notting City to save you right now!"

"Headmaster, do you need us to come with you?"

Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming, who was about to graduate, asked.

"No need. I alone am enough. You stay at the academy." Flander immediately vanished, summoning his Cat Eagle martial soul and rushing toward Notting City at top speed.

Elsewhere.

Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Liu Erlong, who had been preparing to leave the clan and establish an academy by herself, also learned of Yu Xiaogang's situation.

Liu Erlong panicked, erupting with terrifyingly violent killing intent. "Xiaogang! Xiaogang is in danger! I'm going to Notting City to save Xiaogang!!"

"That trash has disgraced us beyond measure! He has completely thrown away the honor of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Unfilial son! What a shameful, disgraceful son!" Yu Yuanzhen, the Blue Lightning Clan's leader, was furious, his face full of bitter disappointment.

The Blue Lightning Clan's higher-ups present also shook their heads repeatedly, thinking how their Blue Lightning Clan had produced such a disgraceful piece of trash.

Liu Erlong angrily defended him. "Clan Leader, elders! Why are you blaming Xiaogang? He is being tortured and humiliated by outsiders like this. That is also a slap in the face of our Blue Lightning Clan!"

"Shouldn't we immediately send people to Notting City, rescue Xiaogang, and kill that bastard?"

Yu Luomian, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's second-in-command and Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother, said gravely, "Erlong is right. Yu Xiaogang is, after all, a member of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Him being humiliated so badly outside is also a humiliation to our clan."

"We cannot ignore this matter. Otherwise, our Blue Lightning Clan will become the laughingstock of the soul master world!"

"How did I, Yu Yuanzhen, give birth to such trash? Sigh!" Yu Yuanzhen let out a heavy, helpless sigh, then waved his hand. "Forget it. Luomian, personally take men there. Bring Yu Xiaogang back to me."

"Whoever dares touch a member of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, no matter who they are, kill them!"

"No! Exterminate their entire family!"

"I want them to understand the consequences of touching my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!" Yu Yuanzhen was incomparably domineering and forceful.

"Understood. I will bring Xiaogang back and make that person pay a terrible price." Yu Luomian gave a sinister smile, then departed with a hundred Blue Lightning Clan disciples.

Liu Erlong went with them as well.

Yu Luomian was an eighty-fifth-rank Soul Douluo. His martial soul was a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, immensely powerful. (For Yu Luomian, use the Soul Land manga setting.)

His strength was second only to Titled Douluo.

With Yu Luomian personally leading people there, failure was practically impossible. Thus, Yu Yuanzhen was very reassured and soon put the matter out of his mind.

In his eyes, this was merely an insignificant matter that they could suppress with a casual gesture.

But Yu Yuanzhen would never have imagined that this incident would become a catastrophe that destroyed the Blue Lightning Clan.

Elsewhere, within a pitch-black cave, all manner of strange spiders and webs filled the surroundings.

Undead Bibi Dong wore a fierce expression, both angry and amused. "Hehe, hahahaha! Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang, so you have a day like this too!"

Bibi Dong truly both loved and hated him.

Hearing that Yu Xiaogang had been tortured and humiliated like this delighted Bibi Dong, yet she could not bear to see Yu Xiaogang die.

"I want to see who has reduced you to such a miserable state. Yu Xiaogang, if you are going to die, you must die by my hand, Bibi Dong's."

Bibi Dong still could not resist leaving the hidden cave and heading for Notting City.

At the same time.

Inside an orphanage in Notting City.

After Tang Hao had been beaten to death by Qian Xunye, Tang San had been sent to this orphanage by Old Jack, the village chief of Holy Soul Village.

Tang San was now two years old.

After arriving in Notting City, Tang San finally understood what soul masters were. He also understood just what kind of terrifying power Qian Xunye and Tang Hao, soul masters with nine soul rings, possessed.

Tang San had never imagined that the enemy who killed his father had been a peak-level figure from the start.

A nine-ring Titled Douluo who stood at the pinnacle of power in this world.

Yet Tang San remained full of confidence in himself. "If I can forge the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, Peacock Plume, and Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus—the Tang Sect's three supreme mechanical hidden weapons—even a nine-ring Titled Douluo can be killed by me!"

"As long as Tang San is given enough time to grow, no matter how strong you are, I can kill you!"

"You man sitting atop the high wall, just wait for me!"

"I, Tang San, will avenge this grudge."

In a corner of Notting City.

Tang San watched Qian Xunye in the distance atop the city wall, as well as Yu Xiaogang hanging from it.

He was far too weak right now!

He absolutely could not reveal himself. He had to stay hidden and must not let Qian Xunye discover that he was also in Notting City.

Time passed swiftly.

One week later.

Yu Xiaogang, hanging from the high wall, had already been tortured until he was half-dead. The ropes had carved deep bloody rings into his wrists, and his lips had dried and peeled. "Water... give me water..."

The soldiers' task was to ensure that Yu Xiaogang did not die.

Seeing this, one soldier directly poured a bucket of water over Yu Xiaogang's head.

Yu Xiaogang barely replenished some moisture, and his mental state improved somewhat.

Over the past seven days, he had looked into the distance with longing countless times, waiting for someone to come save him, only to be disappointed every time.

But this time, hope suddenly ignited in Yu Xiaogang's eyes as he looked into the distance. He saw it!

He saw a familiar figure rapidly flying toward him from afar.

The utterly despairing Yu Xiaogang became completely overwhelmed with excitement, so excited that he nearly cried. "Wuwuwu! He's here! My reinforcements are here! It's Flander, it's Flander!!"

"I'm saved! I, Yu Xiaogang, am saved!!"

"Oh?" Sensing Yu Xiaogang's intense emotional fluctuation, Qian Xunye, who had been cultivating nearby, slowly opened his eyes. He saw Cat Eagle Flander speeding toward them in the distance.

He smiled. "Hehe, at last, someone has come to die."

"Xiaogang!!! I'm here to save you!!"

Flander rushed over at high speed.

Within seconds, he stopped in midair a hundred meters outside Notting City.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang in such a miserable state, Flander's eyes instantly turned blood-red. His heart ached unbearably, and rage surged skyward. "Outrageous! Bastard! You're the one who stripped Xiaogang naked and hung him from the city wall? You're the one who tortured him into this state?!"
