In the resplendent hall.
To make Qian Xunji accept their apology and forgive his son, Yu Xiao Gang.
And so that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could weather this crisis.
Yu Yuanzhen hardened his heart, using belts, hangers, whips, slippers, and even his fists and feet.
He roared furiously as he savagely beat Yu Xiao Gang.
He beat Yu Xiao Gang until his nose was bruised, his face swollen, and his body covered in injuries. Yu Xiao Gang howled in pain, collapsed on the floor, and wailed without end.
He looked utterly miserable!
At the center of the hall.
Watching everything before him, Qian Xunji was utterly disdainful.
Dressed in exquisite, noble white robes, he reclined halfway on a magnificent golden throne. His left hand still supported his face, one leg crossed over the other. Beneath his shoulder-length golden hair, his handsome face remained cold and indifferent.
His heart was filled with mockery and ridicule.
Trying to play the sympathy card with me? Who are you trying to fool?
After all the sins your son Yu Xiao Gang committed, you think putting on a show and beating him up in front of me will make everything go away? Keep dreaming!
If your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan doesn't offer up something worthwhile as compensation today, do you think I'll let you off so easily?
But Qian Xunji had no intention of pointing this out.
Even if Yu Yuanzhen beat Yu Xiao Gang to death right in front of him.
His attitude would not change in the slightest.
Since you're treating me like a fool and showing no sincerity at all.
Then don't blame me for treating you like fools too!
Besides, watching you beat your son Yu Xiao Gang is fairly entertaining. Go on, keep performing.
It wouldn't matter even if you beat him to death.
After all, he wasn't my son.
But before Yu Yuanzhen could realize there was a problem.
Bibi Dong, watching her beloved Xiao Gang suffer, could no longer hold herself back.
Her pure and exquisitely beautiful face was flushed red around her amber eyes. She clenched her delicate hands, gritted her silver teeth, and seemed to make up her mind.
She turned resolutely toward Qian Xunji and cried out in grief, indignation, and humiliation.
"Qian Xunji, stop tormenting Xiao Gang!"
"Don't you just want me to come back? As long as you spare Xiao Gang, I'll agree, all right?!"
"If you torment Xiao Gang beyond repair, then even if I die, I will never return to your Spirit Hall!"
After saying that, Bibi Dong fixed Qian Xunji with a glare from her amber eyes, filled with humiliation and fury.
As though she had suffered some immense injustice.
Qian Xunji practically laughed at that.
He threw back his head and burst into loud laughter, laughing until tears came to his eyes.
"This is killing me! It's absolutely killing me!"
After laughing, Qian Xunji looked at Bibi Dong and said mockingly.
"Bibi Dong, what are you thinking?"
"Come back? Come back my ass!"
"What do you think Spirit Hall is? A place you can come and go from whenever you please?!"
"To put it bluntly, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? What makes you think you deserve that?"
"Do you think I went to such lengths because I wanted Yu Yuanzhen to send you back?"
"Wrong! Completely wrong!"
"I never thought that. Who would want to pick up trash they had already thrown away?"
"Don't think too highly of yourself!"
Qian Xunji paused before continuing in a mocking tone.
"As for your beloved little Xiao Gang, I never told Yu Yuanzhen to beat him!"
"It was your bargain father-in-law, Yu Yuanzhen, who thought that if he beat up his little Xiao Gang of a son, I would accept their apology and write everything off."
"But I never said that!"
"Still, I truly can't stand that hypocritical, shameless, incompetent, cowardly, utterly worthless little Xiao Gang of yours. He disgusts and sickens me."
"Since your bargain father-in-law Yu Yuanzhen wants to think and act that way, I'm more than happy to watch a good show!"
As Qian Xunji spoke, a cruel and mocking smile appeared on his face.
He looked exactly like some dark villain.
Listening to Qian Xunji's contemptuous words.
And seeing that cruel smile, Bibi Dong felt as though her face were being slapped again and again.
Her complexion turned pale, then red. She felt incomparable humiliation and fury.
The rage in her heart soared to the heavens.
If her cultivation had not already been crippled.
She would have wanted to throw a punch at Qian Xunji's hateful face, one powerful enough to erase the Great Dao itself!
Damn you, Qian Xunji!
How dare you humiliate me like this in front of Xiao Gang and Uncle!
Just wait. I'll get my revenge!
I definitely will!
Bibi Dong roared and swore wildly in her heart, consumed by humiliation and rage.
At the side, Golden Crocodile Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo were even more disappointed. Bibi Dong had already been sold out by Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiao Gang, yet she had actually stepped forward to speak for Yu Xiao Gang.
They truly had no idea what she was thinking!
Upon hearing Qian Xunji's words, Yu Yuanzhen's body immediately stiffened.
Humiliation flooded his heart, and rage surged within him.
He felt as though he had been played like a monkey!
If that damned Qian Xunji were not the Spirit Hall Pope.
And if there were not two Spirit Hall powerhouses here whose strength he could not gauge.
He would definitely make that damned Qian Xunji understand.
The consequences of daring to toy with and torment Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen!
But unfortunately, there were no ifs.
Yu Yuanzhen could only force down the humiliation and fury in his heart. He threw aside the Discipline Son Six-Piece Set, which was nearly broken from use.
He spared Yu Xiao Gang, who wanted to cry but had no tears left and whose entire body no longer had a single patch of uninjured flesh.
Then he turned and forced a smile as he continued.
"Your Holiness the Pope, do you think we have not shown enough sincerity?"
"Then, esteemed Your Holiness the Pope, what exactly will it take for you to forgive my son and forgive our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"An apology isn't something you can settle with words alone."
Qian Xunji merely replied calmly.
Hearing that, Yu Yuanzhen finally understood.
Qian Xunji wanted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to offer compensation!
Damn it! Greedy Spirit Hall!
Yu Yuanzhen cursed inwardly.
Before Father passed away, he even told me that your Spirit Hall was a major force with bottom lines and principles, one that acted openly and honorably.
He told me not to fear you too much.
He even said that gentlemen could be deceived. Ahem!
Who would have thought you were this greedy?
My son is obviously innocent. He never urged your Spirit Hall's Saintess to break with you.
At most, he accidentally brought her back with him.
And you actually want to extort us!
But unless everything else was ignored.
No matter how this matter was explained, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would be in the wrong if word got out!
After all, Spirit Hall's Saintess had indeed been influenced by his son Yu Xiao Gang into betraying Spirit Hall and breaking with it, only to have her cultivation crippled in the end.
The key was that his son Yu Xiao Gang had even brought her back!
If Spirit Hall publicized this matter everywhere.
Then even if they used it as an excuse to attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, no one in the outside world would be able to find fault with them.
Even the other two Three Upper Sects, the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which shared close ties with them, would find it difficult to help.
There was no choice!
Yu Yuanzhen could only grit his teeth and force a smile.
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is willing to offer ten million gold coins as compensation. We hope Your Holiness the Pope will forgive us!"
"Ten million Gold Soul Coins? Are you trying to dismiss a beggar?"
Qian Xunji sneered disdainfully.
"A genius with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Top Spirits, one cultivated with vast amounts of Spirit Hall's resources, was ruined overnight by your worthless son."
"Do you think ten million Gold Soul Coins can make up for that?"
"How about I ask Tang Zhen, the sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, and Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to judge who is in the right?"
Yu Yuanzhen was left speechless, but he once again forced a smile.
"Then, One Hundred Million Gold Soul Coins, along with several Rare Treasures, and three royal capital properties of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with annual revenues exceeding ten million Gold Soul Coins. How about that?"
"Do you think Spirit Hall lacks money?"
Qian Xunji mocked again.
And after Qian Xunji repeatedly said, "Not enough!"
Yu Yuanzhen had no choice but to grit his teeth through his fury and unwillingness.
He added a treasured Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's collection, a treasure known as the Blood River Treasure and among the most precious items in the Soul Master world.
"...And a Ten Thousand Year Void Beast right arm bone!"
