"Thank you for saving my life, Young Master!"
Xu Qing gasped for breath, his face deathly pale. Clearly, Yu Yuanzhen's dying counterattack had given him quite a fright. If Tang San hadn't helped him, he would already have gone down to join Yu Yuanzhen.
"It was nothing."
Tang San waved a hand and said, "Most of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been dealt with. There may still be a few fish that slipped through the net, so I'll trouble you to take care of them, Ninth Elder."
Hearing this, Xu Qing immediately nodded.
"Yes!"
His figure vanished as he charged down below once more.
Everyone from Spirit Hall had witnessed that scene. Apart from Yue Guan, almost everyone was utterly shocked.
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?!"
"As expected of the Young Master! He already has a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at such a young age?"
Gui Mei's eyes were filled with shock as he looked at the unruffled Yue Guan beside him.
"Chrysanthemum Guan, why didn't you tell me about something this important sooner?"
Yue Guan smiled calmly.
"What good would telling you do? Does the Young Master's strength need any explanation from me?"
Gui Mei rolled his eyes. "Honestly, you... It's not like you don't know that several of the consecrators keep saying the Qian Family is Spirit Hall's only hope. They've always looked down on the Young Master."
"Even the Ninth Elder probably didn't think much of the Young Master before coming here. Now that the Young Master has personally demonstrated his strength today, things will be different."
"If you'd told me sooner, would I have spent all this time stuck foolishly in the middle?"
Yue Guan laughed heartily and patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry. How could you or I fathom the Young Master's ambitions? No matter when, following the Young Master will never be the wrong choice."
Only after hearing this did Gui Mei breathe a sigh of relief. He charged straight down and began slaughtering.
After Yu Yuanzhen and several elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan died, the situation became completely one-sided. Most of their powerful fighters had already been silently killed by hidden weapons.
Soon, everything drew to a close. Those who survived either chose to surrender or met their end alongside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Reporting to the Young Master, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been destroyed. Only a small number escaped alive. Our casualties in this operation totaled only a hundred. Please give us your next orders, Young Master."
After cleaning up the aftermath, the Ninth Elder and Gui Mei brought the members of Spirit Hall before Tang San. Everyone except the two of them knelt on one knee, while they bowed their heads with their hands clasped.
Everyone shouted in unison, "Please give us your orders, Young Master!"
Tang San smiled. "The remnants who escaped are nothing to fear. You did well this time."
"Let's go!"
As his words fell, Gui Mei stepped forward and discreetly showed Tang San a letter.
"Young Master, I found this letter in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. There seems to be a mole within Spirit Hall."
"Take a look..."
Tang San took the letter and glanced over it, immediately guessing whose handiwork it was.
There probably wasn't anyone else besides Gangzi.
"It's a small matter. Just burn it. The operation went well. There's no need to grow branches outside the trunk."
Gui Mei nodded, his admiration for Tang San's handling of the matter growing even stronger.
Inside a hidden chamber, Yu Tianheng covered his mouth, not daring to make the slightest sound for fear of being found.
Only when there wasn't a sound outside did he step out. The moment he emerged, a sea of blood-red greeted his eyes. Corpses lay everywhere.
"Father... Eldest Uncle..."
"Second Uncle... You're all dead... Why?!"
Yu Tianheng's eyes were bloodshot, two trails of bloody tears running down his face. He dropped to his knees and kept pounding his head, hating only that he was too weak now to avenge them.
His mind was a complete muddle. He had no idea how any of this had happened.
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was one of the Upper Three Sects, after all. How could Spirit Hall have wiped us out so easily?"
Suddenly, Yu Yuanzhen's dying words echoed through Yu Tianheng's mind.
"That's right. Someone must have been secretly helping Spirit Hall. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't have been assassinated. That must be it!"
A name surfaced in Yu Tianheng's mind. Unable to believe it, he hurried to Gangzi's room.
Inside, it was terrifyingly clean. There was no blood, no corpse, not even a single person.
"Yu Xiaogang!!!"
After seeing everything inside clearly, Yu Tianheng clenched his teeth and practically roared those words.
So many powerful members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had died in this surprise attack. With Yu Xiaogang's mere rank twenty-nine Soul Power, how could he possibly have survived?
That traitor was undoubtedly Yu Xiaogang!
"The clan treated you well, and I can honestly say I've always respected you. Yet you became a traitor. You deserve to die!"
After forcing those words through clenched teeth, Yu Tianheng turned to leave.
A voice suddenly rang out.
"Who's calling me?"
Somewhat baffled, Gangzi poked his head out and looked around. When no one answered, he walked into the center and sighed.
"Father, was I still unable to change your fate...?"
"You can't blame me for this. I clearly told you all long ago, but you wouldn't believe me. What could I do?"
"Just as I said long ago, my Martial Soul Ten Core Competition Theory is correct. You still refused to admit you were wrong. So stubborn. Perhaps destruction was the best ending."
Shaking his head, Gangzi was just about to leave when a sound split the air.
"Yu Xiaogang, you traitor!"
Yu Tianheng's eyes bulged as though they would split. Upon discovering Gangzi, he charged straight at him, wishing he could swallow him alive and strip off his skin.
"Me? A traitor?"
Gangzi was instantly dumbfounded. Hearing those words, he hastily waved his hands.
"Tian Heng, is there some misunderstanding?"
"A misunderstanding?"
Yu Tianheng snorted. "Go explain it to the other clan members in hell!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several sharp whistles rang out as gleaming arrows shot toward them, and several Soul Masters from Spirit Hall came flying over.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. As expected of the higher-ups. They're smarter than us. They knew someone who refused to give up would come back."
"We even caught a big fish? That kid is Yu Tianheng, right? Don't let him get away!"
At the same time, they also noticed Gangzi. He had previously brought Dai Mubai and the others into Spirit Hall, and he also knew Bibi Dong, so quite a few people in Spirit Hall were very familiar with him.
"Grandmaster, are you here to catch someone too? Just leave a little matter like this to us!"
"Watch this!"
Hearing those words, Gangzi wanted to cry but had no tears. What even was all this? Now he was like someone with yellow mud in his crotch-even if it wasn't shit, it might as well be.
"Tian Heng, you..."
He turned his head, about to explain, but Yu Tianheng had already vanished without a trace.
The Soul Masters who had arrived weren't particularly strong, but Yu Tianheng didn't dare linger. Once he was tied down, it would all be over.
He was the last ember of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He couldn't die.
At the same time, Yu Tianheng swore to himself.
"Yu Xiaogang, I'll kill you with my own hands!"
