Chapter 140: Yu Tianheng's Revenge Plan
"Spouting alarmist nonsense in front of this old man—do you really take me for a pushover who can be bullied at will?"
Facing Dugu Bo's reprimand, Tang San lost his previous confidence.
He hung his head, his mind a complete blank at this moment.
"Since you have nothing to say, then pay the price."
……
A loud boom echoed in the sky, and Tang San let out a shrill scream as he plummeted from high above.
Flender was quick-witted and fast-handed; he activated his martial soul to catch him, preventing secondary injuries from the fall.
Dugu Bo walked over at the same time, "This is the consequence of talking big in front of this old man!"
As for Tang San's father, heh, if he can't manage his own son, then let him manage him.
No one could find a single fault in that!
Tang San was beaten black and blue, several front teeth knocked out, and he was already unconscious.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were like torches, his chest heaving violently as he pointed angrily at Dugu Bo and cursed: "Dugu Bo, if anything happens to Xiao San, even if I, Yu Xiaogang, have to throw away this life, I will..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Dugu Bo waved his hand through the air, and a palm condensed from soul power struck his body heavily.
A mere Battle Soul Master, how could he withstand the attack of a Title Douluo?
Out of consideration for Yu Yuanzhen, this blow did not take Yu Xiaogang's life, but apart from his chest and head, every bone in his body was shattered, leaving him as limp as a rubber man.
Liu Erlong's eyes trembled, her eyes wide with rage, and a sky-high fury rose from her Fire Dragon martial soul.
Just as she was about to step forward to avenge Yu Xiaogang, she was held firmly in place by Flender's large hand!
Seeing that it was no longer interesting, Dugu Bo gave a light snort and flashed away.
Liu Erlong struggled to shake off Flender's hand and shouted angrily: "Old Flender, why are you stopping me!"
In her blind rage, she had lost all basic reason.
Flender gave a bitter smile and stepped aside, "exposing" the Shrek Seven Devils to her sight.
"Erlong, you must think of the children. The Poison Douluo's poison arts could easily kill the little monsters. Don't you want to see the day the little monsters become powerhouses?"
Yu Tianheng, who previously dared not meet Dugu Bo's gaze, quickly stood out, "Aunt Erlong, Dugu Bo is used to acting tyrannically; he certainly needs to be taught a lesson. But we cannot be reckless; we must plan carefully."
As he spoke, the Shrek Six Devils shared a common hatred.
Thinking about it carefully, they really didn't have the ability to teach Dugu Bo a lesson.
Dai Mubai's background did have the capability, but with his current status, could he mobilize the powerhouses of the Xingluo Imperial Family?
As for Yu Tianheng...
Not offending Dugu Bo was the bottom line of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. Even if they requested Yu Yuanzhen to step in on the grounds of Yu Xiaogang being harmed by him, at most they would only receive a verbal reprimand from the family.
Liu Erlong didn't think much further and immediately checked Yu Xiaogang's injuries, using her soul power to keep him alive.
The tactful Oscar hurriedly brought over a Recovery Sausage.
As for Tang San, he was looked after by Xiao Wu.
Tang San's injuries were lighter; his fainting was purely because he couldn't withstand the force of the slaps.
In such a situation, hunting a soul beast for Dai Mubai was no longer possible. Flender led the Shrek group to quickly retreat from the forest to avoid further trouble.
Yu Xiaogang's injuries were too severe; if he could not receive treatment in time, he might not live much longer.
The Healing Soul Masters in Soul Beast Town always demanded exorbitant prices; in this situation, they would only be ruthlessly gouged.
But for the sake of Yu Xiaogang's life, Flender had to "bleed heavily."
……
On the road, the Shrek Six Devils were still discussing how to retaliate against Dugu Bo.
"Our own abilities are certainly not enough, so why don't we shift the blame?" Yu Tianheng suggested.
As a contender for the position of Young Sect Master, his own ability was beyond doubt.
Having long been nurtured by the family, he already possessed the ability to handle certain matters independently.
By comparison, Dai Mubai appeared quite useless, "Shift? Shift it onto whom? Who could be a match for Dugu Bo?"
"Mu Bai, let Tianheng finish!" Liu Erlong interrupted with a grim expression.
If she could avenge Yu Xiaogang, how could she easily miss the opportunity!
Yu Tianheng pondered for a moment and said: "Dugu Bo has a grudge against the Spirit Hall; he was even hunted to the brink of death back then. If Prince Xue Xing hadn't intervened in time, he would have perished long ago!"
"It's Prince Xue Xing again!" The Shrek group gritted their teeth.
If Prince Xue Xing hadn't obstructed them earlier, how would Qin Ming have met with disaster, and how would they have been humiliated?
Even today, they wouldn't have suffered at the hands of Dugu Bo.
Yu Tianheng was quite calm and sighed, "Prince Xue Xing appears to be a fool in political affairs, but his judgment is not bad. If not for the suppression by Xue Qinghe, his power might have advanced even further."
He paused and continued: "Everyone, don't interrupt; let me finish."
"We certainly can't retaliate against Prince Xue Xing; he has the Imperial Family behind him, and even the Emperor's think tank. It would easily bring disaster upon ourselves. But Dugu Bo is arrogant and unrestrained by nature, and his connection to the Imperial Family is weak. If we move against him, as long as we can hide it from his eyes, he will never be able to trace it back to us."
Having been by Dugu Yan's side for so long, he naturally knew the Dugu Family's situation; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the thought of winning them over.
Now that the attempt to win them over had failed and his connection with Dugu Bo was severed, it would be hard to convince others if one said it wasn't a case of love turning into hate.
But so what?
Since Dugu Bo didn't value him, he had no reason to continue playing the good guy.
"Since Dugu Bo has a grudge against the Spirit Hall, the enemy of an enemy is not necessarily not a friend, we..."
Hearing this strategy, everyone clicked their tongues in wonder.
Even Flender, who did not approve of the revenge plan, had to praise his intelligence.
"Tianheng, the strategy is good, but even the best-laid plans have flaws. In my opinion, let's stop this matter here."
"With your talents, becoming a Title Douluo in the future is not a problem. Even if Dugu Bo's strength breaks through again, as long as the seven of you join forces, it is not impossible to have a chance at revenge."
"Rather than dwelling on the present, it is better to look toward the future."
Flender's arrogance had long since been beaten out of him; at present, Shrek Academy could not afford any more turmoil, and whether they could continue to exist if they completely offended Dugu Bo remained an unknown.
Shrek Academy was his life's work, and it had seen unprecedented development after merging into Lanba Academy; how could he be willing to see it easily destroyed?
Liu Erlong felt dissatisfied, "Boss Flender, Yu Xiaogang is our partner through life and death, and Tang San is also a junior we value. Now that the master and disciple have met with such foul play, how can we swallow this insult?"
"If you are worried, then don't get involved; we will do it ourselves!"
Flender still lacked the courage to refuse Liu Erlong, and half-reluctantly, he tacitly agreed to the proposal of Yu Tianheng.
However, to accomplish this matter, they still had to make some preparations to ensure that the Spirit Hall would not ignore it.
……
Inside the forest.
Dugu Bo had not left.
Ever since he taught Yu Xiaogang and his disciple a lesson, he had consistently felt that he was being watched.
Recalling the identity of Tang San, he did not seem surprised by the person behind it.
In his perception, the people from Shrek Academy were gradually moving further away, and the aura of the person behind them was gradually becoming undisguised.
