Chapter 183

Dugu Yan sighed and said, "Tianheng, the branch hall is a system proposed by the sect leader similar to a vassal family; however, unlike a vassal family, the branch hall only needs to turn over thirty percent of its net income to enjoy the sect's protection."

"At the same time, the sect will convert the submitted income into points at a certain ratio and return them to the branch hall for exchanging sect resources; most importantly, the sect will not overly interfere in the branch hall's internal self-governance."

"Of course there are some minor details and rules, but this is undoubtedly the best way for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family to survive; otherwise they would become a target of the Spirit Hall's pursuit; by then merely surviving would be a problem, let alone reviving the family."

Yutianheng more or less understood; a vassal family had just been given a nicer name.

However, after suffering this great calamity, Yutianheng's mindset also gained a measure of endurance; what is this requirement compared to reviving the family? This branch hall system deserves careful study later, after all, it's not only his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family that has been wiped out by the Spirit Hall.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect joins together, the face of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family might still be preserved.

If Xue Qinghe fails in the Heaven Dou Empire's power struggle, the likelihood of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect joining will greatly increase.

After hesitating, Yutianheng glanced back at Yutianxin; he finally nodded and agreed.

Yutianxin behind him also seemed to have lost some motivation, his fist loosening as he lowered his head to look at the ground.

The honor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family was completely shattered in the hearts of the two youths at this moment.

Yang Yun was not stingy either; he directly said, "I will help you reclaim all of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family's properties in Heaven Dou City and hand them over for you to manage; as for those outside Heaven Dou City, you handle them yourselves."

"Liu Erlong's Blue Tyrant Academy will also continue operating in Heaven Dou City; I'll give you a piece of advice: there are many talented girls in the academy, and if you marry them back—whether from the academy or elsewhere—and treat them well, it will help your family's recovery."

Yutianheng and Yutianxin sighed and gave a slight bow, saying, "Thank you, sect leader, for your guidance!"

Yang Yun nodded.

"The master of the Azure Dragon Branch Hall is Dugu Yan, with vice masters Yutianheng and Liu Erlong; as for Yu Xiaogang, if you need him to return to propagate the family I have no objection, but this guy is not on the Azure Dragon Branch Hall roster."

"Yanyan is strictly speaking your girlfriend and also a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, and at the same time she is the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo enshrined by my Breaking Heaven Sect; so her taking the position of hall master should be fine with you, right?"

Yutianxin had no decision-making authority.

Under the current circumstances, even if he had opinions he would have to keep them to himself.

After pondering his words, Yutianheng agreed, saying, "Yanyan is more familiar with the sect's rules than I am and her strength is greater; letting her be hall master I have no objection; Aunt is strong and I have no issue with that, but I, with my current cultivation, feel a little apprehensive about serving as vice hall master."

Dugu Yan grasped Yutianheng's hand and whispered, "What's there to be apprehensive about? You are my man, and moreover the current patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family; your status and position are worthy of this role."

Yang Yun had no interest in playing political games with Yutianheng here; he made a quick arrangement and then handed everything over to Dugu Yan.

The initial construction plans for the Storage and Protection Hall were made according to the Breaking Heaven Sect's branch.

So now there's no need to waste further words giving other instructions; everything can proceed as planned.

The Sharp Feather Hall personnel quickly spread the news that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family had become a branch of the Breaking Heaven Sect, and those from the Spirit Hall sensibly stopped their pursuit of Yutianheng and Yutianxin.

For example, those people outside the clan's territory have already withdrawn.

Otherwise those people might really have taken advantage of the Breaking Heaven Sect letting down its guard to come in and kill Yutianxin.

Yutianheng didn't dare act because of Dugu Yan, but Yutianxin had no one covering for him.

Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family has become the Azure Dragon Branch Hall, Yutianxin's identity has changed to that of a member of the Breaking Heaven Sect, so those actions can no longer continue.

Still the same saying: the Breaking Heaven Sect does not intervene; the Spirit Hall holds absolute advantage. Now the Heaven Dou Empire faces external worries and internal troubles, the two princes fight endlessly without a decision, and the kingdoms and duchies harbor ambitious designs.

The Star Luo Empire is even more tiger‑eyed, ready at any moment to swallow the Heaven Dou Empire whole.

At this moment the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family joining the Breaking Heaven Sect has, to some extent, given the Heaven Dou Empire a bit of hope.

Because of the illegitimate offspring of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon scattered abroad, Liu Erlong has during this period strangely risen to near the level of a Title Douluo.

What's more, Yang Yun had previously been residing at the Blue Tyrant Academy, which is no secret to the upper echelons of the Heaven Dou Empire.

At this point, winning over the fallen Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family amounts to, invisibly, winning over Liu Erlong, who is about to become a Title Douluo.

Furthermore, a third layer of connection has even tied a slight marital link to Yang Yun.

Even though Yang Yun hasn't irrigated Liu Erlong's field for a long time.

So what! Having been cultivated before makes it a field worth investing in.

Therefore, the Snow Night Great Emperor this time decided not to favor anyone, personally stepping forward to court the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, rather than sending Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng as representatives.

The experiences of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect made the Snow Night Great Emperor's heart skip several beats.

He keenly realized that an empire lacking Title Douluo, especially those missing top‑tier Title Douluo, is extremely perilous.

By winning over them himself, he could ensure that whether it was Xue Qinghe or Xue Beng, once one side prevailed it could annihilate the other's forces with absolute superiority.

Rather than having them fight each other to mutual destruction and leaving a mess for others to pick up cheaply.

At this moment, within Heaven Dou City, the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect's Ning Fengzhi felt a mixed mix of emotions upon receiving this news.

He could not express how bitter it was.

The former top three sects have thus become branches of the newly risen Breaking Heaven Sect.

It is undeniable that the Breaking Heaven Sect is strong and its development speed is extremely rapid, especially sect leader Yang Yun whose strength surpasses the continent.

Even the sect leader's wife is a Title Douluo possessing the top‑tier Ice Phoenix martial soul.

Not to mention the several Super Douluo on the surface; they simply do not seem like a force that could have arisen from this continent.

The speed of its rise can be described as terrifying.

Just a name is enough to make the Spirit Hall hesitate and abandon exterminating the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Ning Fengzhi's cane, gripped in both hands, had been driven deep into the floor tiles.

"Uncle Gu, do you think our Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect might also one day need the Breaking Heaven Sect's protection? Will we have such a day?"

Without waiting for Gu Douluo's reply, Ning Fengzhi muttered to himself, "If that really were the case, then how heartbreaking and desperate it would be."
