At the same time, inside the main hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, two white-haired old men sat on the main seats, looking down at the space below.
The old man on the left was Yu Yuanzhen, the current Clan Chief of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He was tall and burly, and despite his age, his back was straight as a spear, exuding a powerful, dragon-like aura. His grizzled, sword-like eyebrows framed remarkably sharp eyes.
On the right was Yu Luomian, Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother. Compared to his elder brother's thunderous dominance, Yu Luomian's demeanor was more profound and reserved. He was slender but looked very sturdy, and his eyes were as deep as a pond, giving him an air of unapproachable authority.
Kneeling on one knee below them was Yu Tianheng, his hands clasped as he reported something to the two elders.
After listening to Yu Tianheng's report, Yu Yuanzhen coughed lightly. An unconcealable look of excitement flashed across his face, and he suddenly stood up from his seat, his voice trembling. "Tianheng, what did you say? You saw Yu Xiaogang?"
"Yes, Grandpa. I met Uncle in Soto City," Yu Tianheng confirmed with a nod. A hint of complex emotion laced his tone. "He's teaching at Shrek Academy now and even invited me to join. But I immediately refused him."
As his voice faded, the hall fell into an eerie silence.
Yu Yuanzhen didn't speak right away. He slowly turned his head to look at his younger brother, Yu Luomian.
Yu Luomian suddenly slammed the armrest of his chair and shot to his feet, shouting in anger, "That scoundrel! It's bad enough his spirit power can never break through level thirty, but now he even wants to harm my Sect's disciples? This is outrageous!"
His furious voice, which carried a dragon's powerful might, echoed continuously throughout the hall, causing Yu Tianheng below to tremble.
Yu Yuanzhen, however, did not get angry. After pondering for a moment, he slowly asked, "Tianheng, is Yu Xiaogang... still in Soto City?"
Yu Tianheng immediately bowed and replied, "To answer Grandpa, Uncle is no longer in Soto City. Their Shrek Academy originally wanted to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but they ended up offending the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and were directly kicked out."
The hall fell silent again.
Yu Yuanzhen frowned, his gaze fixed on Yu Tianheng. His tone was urgent and uneasy as he pressed, "Then where is he... now?"
Yu Tianheng hesitated, his eyes flickering slightly as he looked at Yu Luomian beside Yu Yuanzhen with an extremely strange gaze. He remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Yu Luomian looked bewildered and immediately shouted coldly, "Tianheng, why are you looking at me? Your Grandpa asked you, so just say it."
"Uncle... he, he seems to have gone to... Blue Tyrant Academy," Yu Tianheng took a deep breath, finally mustering the courage to speak.
"What... what did you say?"
"That scoundrel Yu Xiaogang went to Blue Tyrant Academy?"
As soon as these words were uttered, Yu Luomian was overcome with such anger he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He leaned back, slammed the armrest beside him, and roared, "Beast! Beast! This beast! You've been running for over twenty years, why do you still come back to find my daughter?!"
At this point, Yu Luomian's face instantly turned pale, and he nearly fainted.
"Second Grandpa, please... please don't be angry. Things might not be as bad as you think," Yu Tianheng quickly stepped forward, supporting Yu Luomian to steady his body and trying to comfort him.
Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen also quickly reached out to support Yu Luomian and whispered, "Second Brother, don't get agitated. That scoundrel Yu Xiaogang has truly disgraced the Sect."
Hearing this, Yu Luomian's veins bulged on his forehead, his fists clenched, and his voice trembled, full of anger. "Big Brother, do you know, if Yu Xiaogang and Erlong were to marry, how could I face our ancestors after I die? Once this matter gets out, how will outsiders view my Yu Family?"
"I... I... I might as well just bash my head against something and die here!"
Yu Yuanzhen's face was solemn, and he spoke with a tremor. "Second... Second Brother, don't say any more. How about this, you... you go to Heaven Dou City and help me cripple this rebellious son."
"Then strip him of the Yu surname and completely remove him from the Family register! I'll just pretend I never gave birth to this beast in this life!"
At this moment, on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's plaza, the wind howled.
Countless steel needles and crossbow bolts rained down on Sword Douluo.
"My body is like a sword!" Sword Douluo roared, facing the rain of arrows shooting towards him.
Immediately, a Seven Kill Sword, condensed from pure spirit power, appeared before him. Its blade shimmered with a cold light, cutting through the air like a sharp edge.
In an instant, the flying steel needles and crossbow bolts all turned into iron filings, silently dissipating in the air.
"Grandpa Sword, you're amazing!" Ning Rongrong clapped her hands in place, saying with surprise and admiration.
Hearing this, Sword Douluo smiled slightly, looking at Ning Rongrong with gentle eyes. "Rongrong, you are also very powerful; you even forced Grandpa's Spirit out. The power of these Hidden Weapons of yours isn't bad at all. Spirit Masters below level forty, if they aren't careful, can't resist them."
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Ning Fengzhi beside him.
"Fengzhi, if it's possible, we must try every means to get this young man who makes Hidden Weapons to join our Sect."
Ning Fengzhi heard this, and a determined look flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward and said decisively, "Rongrong, later you can directly take me to see your third brother; I want to talk to him."
Nodding slightly, Ning Rongrong was about to speak, but her eyelids suddenly drooped. Her vision blurred, and she fainted instantly.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo all changed their expressions dramatically. They simultaneously stepped forward and embraced Ning Rongrong.
Bone Douluo asked anxiously, "Fengzhi, what happened to Rongrong?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head. He placed his fingers on Ning Rongrong's pulse and carefully sensed her condition. A few seconds later, his face suddenly changed dramatically, and his voice trembled. "What's going on? Rongrong's Life Qi seems to have lost a lot, which caused her body to weaken and faint... What exactly is happening?"
Sword Douluo frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice, "Lost a lot of Life Qi? If she wasn't injured, then there's only one possibility. When I was traveling the continent, I learned that there's an evil cultivation method in the Spirit Master world, which is to quickly increase one's strength by extracting the Life Qi from a Spirit Master's body. Could it be..."
Hearing this, a murderous aura flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, and he interrupted in a deep voice, "Uncle Sword, are you saying... those people from Shrek?"
"It's not impossible. After all, after Rongrong went out, she only seemed to have contact with people from Shrek Academy," Sword Douluo nodded, his tone grave.
The next second, Ning Fengzhi's expression hardened. He slowly stood up, carefully handing the unconscious Ning Rongrong, whom he was holding, to Bone Douluo beside him.
"Uncle Bone, please take care of Rongrong for me. Uncle Sword and I are going to Shrek Academy. If those guys really did this, I will surely grind their bones to dust!"
