Moon Pavilion, top floor secret room.
The window of the secret room moved automatically without any wind, and a dark green afterimage swept into the room like Gui Mei.
The person who arrived was none other than Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, who had just gone on a killing spree in Luohun Valley.
"Bang!"
As soon as Dugu Bo landed, he casually smashed a figure that looked like a broken sack heavily onto the hard marble floor.
"Your Excellency, I have successfully fulfilled my mission."
Dugu Bo slightly bowed towards Luo Nan.
"The straight hook you laid out tonight really managed to catch an unexpected big fish."
Luo Nan slightly raised his eyelids, his gaze sweeping over the charred body:
"Oh? A big fish? How big is this fish?"
Dugu Bo grinned and pointed at the person on the ground, "This fellow is the current Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Sect Master Yu Xiaolie."
"Sect Master Yu Xiaolie?"
Hearing this name, a trace of surprise flashed through Luo Nan's eyes.
He put down the thing in his hand, slowly stood up, walked up to Sect Master Yu Xiaolie, and condescendingly looked at this disheveled man.
Luo Nan was truly a bit surprised.
He originally thought that being able to fish out a few Elders with real power from the Upper Three Sects tonight would already be considered a pretty good harvest.
After all, how noble was the identity of the Sect Master of the dignified second greatest Sect under heaven?
How could he possibly run to the wilderness in the middle of the night like a third-rate bandit, personally leading people to do such despicable work as robbing merchant caravans?
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect... has truly declined to the point of making people laugh."
Luo Nan shook his head, his tone full of mockery.
"As the dignified Sect Master of a Sect, you actually lowered yourself to act as a thief for some petty gains. If Yu Yuanzhen knew about this from beyond the grave, he would probably be angry enough to jump out of his coffin."
However, surprise aside, Luo Nan was still somewhat delighted in his heart.
Being able to catch a Sect Master of the Upper Three Sects, this fish was indeed big enough.
"However, that's fine too."
"The current Sect Master of one of the Upper Three Sects, this weight is much heavier than a few Elders. This fat sheep is extremely valuable no matter how you look at it."
After saying that, Luo Nan slowly raised his right hand.
"Slap!"
A crisp and loud slap suddenly exploded in the secret room.
"Ugh ah—!"
Sect Master Yu Xiaolie let out a painful scream and suddenly opened his eyes.
Half of his face was already swollen high, blood was overflowing from the corners of his mouth, and several shattered teeth mixed with blood were spit out by him.
His vision was still somewhat blurry, and his brain seemed a bit sluggish due to the severe pain and lingering toxins.
But when he saw Luo Nan standing in front of him, looking down at him with a gaze as if looking at garbage, all memories instantly flooded back into his mind like a tide.
The disastrous defeat at Luohun Valley, the annihilation of the Sect's elites, Dugu Bo's terrifying Jade Phosphor Serpent poison...
"Luo Nan! It's you, beast!"
Sect Master Yu Xiaolie's eyes split open in anger, and his eyes instantly turned crimson red.
He struggled to get up, but his bones felt as if they had fallen apart, unable to muster even a shred of strength. He could only wriggle on the ground like a maggot.
Extreme humiliation and anger completely overwhelmed Sect Master Yu Xiaolie's mind. He stared fiercely at Luo Nan and began to curse loudly:
"Luo Nan! You despicable and shameless villain!"
"You actually play such despicable tricks as fishing enforcement!"
"You deliberately released fake information to lure us into taking the bait, and then let Dugu Bo secretly poison us!"
"You are simply not human! You are unworthy of being a man! You are simply not fit to be a powerhouse!"
Listening to Sect Master Yu Xiaolie's hysterical curses, not only did Luo Nan not get angry, but instead, as if he had heard some cosmic joke, he couldn't help letting out a sneer.
"Despicable and shameless? Despicable methods?"
Luo Nan slowly squatted down, grabbed Sect Master Yu Xiaolie by the hair, and forced him to raise his head to look at him.
Luo Nan's eyes were filled with undisguised contempt and mockery.
"Sect Master Yu Xiaolie, was your brain fried by lightning?"
"When you Upper Three Sects secretly colluded, harassing Moon Pavilion's merchant caravans every day like a swarm of flies, trying to cut off my financial path and force me to show myself, why didn't you say you were despicable?"
"When you joined forces, attempting to assemble to encircle and suppress me alone, why didn't you say you were shameless?"
"Now I just used a little method to lure you stinky bugs hiding in the dark out to be crushed to death, and you can't take it anymore?"
"Only allowed for you Upper Three Sects to set fires, while I, Luo Nan, am not allowed to light a lamp? In this world, how can there be such cheap logic!"
Sect Master Yu Xiaolie was left speechless by Luo Nan's retort, but the venom in his heart did not decrease in the slightest.
He gritted his teeth and still roared stubbornly:
"We Upper Three Sects share breath and branches, representing the justice of Douluo Continent!"
"You, a Rebellious Disciple who betrayed my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, injured our Sect Disciple, and humiliated Clear Sky Sect, us dealing with you is acting on behalf of heaven! You..."
"Slap!"
Before Sect Master Yu Xiaolie finished speaking, Luo Nan backhanded him with another extremely loud slap.
This slap was even heavier than the previous one, directly sending Sect Master Yu Xiaolie rolling twice on the ground and heavily slamming into the wall.
Sect Master Yu Xiaolie's other side of the face instantly swelled into a pig's head, blood sprayed wildly, and he couldn't even say a single word, only able to let out painful whimters.
"Justice? Acting on behalf of heaven?"
Luo Nan stood up, took out a pure white handkerchief, and wiped his hands with disgust.
"In front of absolute power, your pitiful self-esteem and hypocritical slogans aren't even worth a fart."
"Furthermore, are you Upper Three Sects really anything good?"
"You are all just a bunch of sanctimonious people."
"I've already admitted to being a true villain, yet you still refuse to admit you're hypocrites. How interesting."
Luo Nan casually threw the handkerchief onto Sect Master Yu Xiaolie's face and turned to look at Dugu Bo, who had been standing to the side watching coldly.
"Old Poison, this guy is too noisy, leave him to you to handle."
"Later, chop off his right index finger for me, put it in a box, and send someone to throw it at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's station near Heaven Dou City."
Hearing these words, Sect Master Yu Xiaolie, who was still groaning in pain on the ground, suddenly widened his eyes, his eyes finally revealing an unmaskable and extreme panic.
"Wuwu... No... Don't..."
He shook his head desperately, wanting to struggle, but it was to no avail.
Luo Nan completely ignored his pleas and continued to instruct Dugu Bo:
"Along the way, attach a letter and tell those old fellows of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
"If they don't want their Sect Master to die without a whole corpse, honestly prepare ceding territory and paying indemnities for me."
"I want half of the mineral veins and properties of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, plus five million gold coins."
"Short by a single coin, and I will cut Sect Master Yu Xiaolie into pieces to feed the dogs."
"Understood, Your Excellency."
Dugu Bo smiled sinisterly, and that smile fell into Sect Master Yu Xiaolie's eyes, even more terrifying than evil ghosts in Hell.
