Chapter 180

And that day.

Bai Lie brought the captured Yu Luo Mian and closely followed the Spirit Hall's people into the secret realm of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

As Yu Tianheng slowly woke up, he saw Yu Luo Mian being brought to kneel before him.

Du Gu Yan stood beside him; the ground held his shattered grandfather, and all three soul bones had been dug out, leaving a miserable, incomplete corpse.

"Grandfather."

After Yu Tianheng cried out in pain, he saw Yu Luo Mian kneeling on the ground and quickly formed a guess; at the same time he noticed something missing from his own body.

"What about the thing my grandfather gave me?"

Du Gu Yan sighed and said: "After you fell unconscious, the Golden Crocodile Douluo tried to seize your crown; fortunately the Sect Leader arrived in time to stop his move."

"That crown was also taken back by the Sect Leader, who said that keeping something like a soul bone on you is unsafe; so he'll return it after you break through the Nine-ring Title."

In that instant, Yu Tianheng felt the endless humiliation of weakness.

Heirlooms can only be guarded by relying on others' strength; even taking them back requires reaching a certain cultivation level.

How humiliating!

Yu Tianheng had no mind to analyze Du Gu Yan's words, regardless of intent; it was a fact that the True Dragon Nine Crowns could not be returned in the short term.

Yu Tianheng's eyes turned red and bulged as he gradually looked at Yu Luo Mian with a fierce expression: "This person, as I expected, must be the family traitor."

Du Gu Yan nodded, confirming Yu Tianheng's guess.

Bai Lie crossed his arms, looking at Yu Tianheng and said: "Sharp Feather Hall's intelligence had long shown this guy had close ties with the Spirit Hall, but we didn't expect his move to be so sudden; Sharp Feather Hall was caught off guard as well."

"In just one night, by the time we arrived, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was already beyond recovery; there was no power left to turn the tide."

"At the same time, Sharp Feather Hall received news that the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, which together with your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family ranks among the Top Three Sects, was also attacked by an unknown force; however, the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect's situation is somewhat better."

"Ning Fengzhi broke through to the eight-ring level, and with his aid the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect's two Super Douluo doubled their strength; yet the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect was nearly wiped out, leaving only Ning Rongrong among its peers of the direct line surviving."

Hearing Bai Lie's words, Yu Tianheng had never felt such despair.

It felt as if the whole world were an invisible meat grinder, pulverizing the two major sects of the Top Three Sects into utter dust.

In those few short seconds, Yu Tianheng's mind raced through countless thoughts, ultimately coalescing into a single final idea.

"Yan Yan, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family of the Top Three Sects is now only in name; I will go find my uncle and aunt to return and hold the family together, and also search for any surviving clan members scattered abroad."

"If you despise me for now having nothing, you may return to the family with the members of Breaking Heaven Sect's Sharp Feather Hall; I will not speak ill of you outwardly, nor blame you."

Yu Tianheng clenched his fists and spoke in a low voice.

Du Gu Yan, however, heard a different meaning in that.

Still, she gathered her focus and took Yu Tianheng's hand: "Rest easy; even if the heavens fall, I will bear it with you—it's just about reviving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. I, Du Gu Yan, like you as a person, not your family; why would I say such things to humiliate you?"

Yu Tianheng's heart was greatly moved; he tightly embraced Du Guyan, exerting continuous force, as if he could warm Du Guyan's heart, which had become extremely cold at this moment.

"Yanyan, don't worry, I will convince uncle to help the family branch out and proliferate; previously I had contacted uncle, his martial soul defect has already been resolved, and the descendants born from the family's propagation will definitely be outstanding descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family."

When this sentence reached Yang Yun's ears, it directly shattered his worldview.

However, it also reminded Yang Yun of a problem.

The martial soul‑severed Yu Xiaogang seems not completely useless; at the very least it has some use in reproduction. He, Yu Xiaogang, is just a waste, but his bloodline martial soul is not wasted; if he had a more promising descendant, perhaps the Golden Holy Dragon martial soul would awaken directly.

However, we can't let a pretty female soul master take advantage of him; we need to find a batch of high‑level but ugly ones.

This also counts as reducing some burden for male soul masters across the entire continent.

Moreover, we must not let this guy come into contact with his remaining descendants; otherwise we wouldn't know how to educate them.

Thinking of this, Yang Yun again thought of some completely new approaches.

After stripping Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, wouldn't it be fine to just make him an idiot?

This way he could be completely used as a breeding machine, and we wouldn't have to worry about him spouting nonsense and miseducating his offspring.

I think this idea is simply genius (Wolf Extinction).

In the end, Du Guyan and Yu Tianheng stayed together living in the ruins of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family; at least the mountain peaks beneath their feet were not destroyed.

Bai Lie also said he would request orders from the sect to have the people of the Preservation Hall come over to help with reconstruction.

Of course, none of this is free.

However, if we discuss this price with Yu Tianheng now, his mindset might completely explode; so we should still plan slowly.

Continuously probing Yu Tianheng's limits, gradually breaking through; later Yu Tianheng will naturally understand that the situation is stronger than the person.

Rather than directly bending and breaking the person, otherwise the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family would be completely ruined.

As for the property moved by the Spirit Hall, it's merely shifting from left hand to right hand; later Yang Yun will naturally have people move it back into the sect by hand.

Temporarily leaving it in the Spirit Hall is fine.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, on the other hand, is relatively difficult to handle, because the Heaven Dou Empire hasn't been destroyed yet; the current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is still the crown prince's tutor.

Moreover, the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo have not fallen; it's just that in this battle, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect encountered two additional Title Douluo.

In the original work, Sword Douluo lost an arm, but this time Bone Douluo also lost an arm; he suffered severe injuries.

If it weren't for his decent defense, he would have likely died on the spot.

Even so, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still suffered heavy losses; among the direct lineage members, besides Ning Rongrong, only Ning Fengzhi managed to escape.

And the scattered family members not within the sect.

After encountering this great disaster, Ning Fengzhi, seeking short‑term survival, directly summoned a large number of clansmen to return to Heaven Dou City.

Furthermore, he greatly sold off the vast assets of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, shrinking operations to seek survival.

Saying it's difficult to handle doesn't mean Ning Fengzhi is hard to handle; the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are just the kind of people who can be knocked down with a single shot.

However, Qian Renxue is still lurking in the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Beng hasn't been defeated yet; indeed, he can even faintly suppress Xue Qinghe from the opposite side.

Because the Earth Fire Organization newly produced a Title Douluo, the Mad Blood Douluo; whereas the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was destroyed.

However, Xue Qinghe calmly and steadily responded, because he had gained the support of many nobles and aristocrats.

And these kingdoms can completely widen the gap between Xue Beng and him.

Because Xue Qinghe found a wild Title Douluo to support him, the balance between the two sides instantly shifted, swapping offense and defense.
