In Heaven Dou City, Emperor Xue Ye looked at the letter presented by his guard, his expression solemn.
"Father, what happened?" Seeing Xue Ye's unusual expression, "Xue Qinghe" asked with confusion.
"See for yourself."
Taking the letter, "Xue Qinghe" also gasped, his face showing undisguised shock, "Duke Amon, killed the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen?"
She also recalled the Soul Master Competition championship match, where Amon blocked Qian Jun and Jiang Mo's combined attack while killing Title Douluo Xiaotian.
Although Tang Xiao himself said that he had left the Clear Sky Sect, few people would take this statement seriously, so counting it up, two of the top three sects' leaders had died at Amon's hands.
"Xue Qinghe" couldn't help but look at her teacher, Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The latter coughed awkwardly and said softly, "Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has no conflict with him… well, probably not."
He suddenly thought of his daughter's intersection with Shrek Academy, and became a little uncertain, his heart skipping a beat, feeling a little flustered.
Since Ning Rongrong dared to defend her so-called Seven Devils' friendship after Xiao Wu's soul beast identity was exposed, she might stand against Duke Amon for the same reason.
Thinking of this, he felt a headache and sighed:
"Life is truly unpredictable. During the preliminary and promotion rounds, I only regarded him as a talented junior, but I never expected that in the blink of an eye, he would transform into a major figure stirring up the situation. Even we, the top three sects, have to avoid his sharp edge."
"Duke Amon's territory blueprint might really have a chance to be realized, but this is a good thing for us, Heaven Dou, because the first to bear the brunt will be the Star Luo Empire," "Xue Qinghe" analyzed.
Xue Ye nodded and said faintly, "Qinghe is right, at least for a short time, he will not be a threat to us."
Then, he looked at Ning Fengzhi and said, "Sect Master Ning, for the time being, keep the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as far away from this Duke Amon as possible. He is an unpredictable fellow."
After being shocked by the news of Amon's killing of Yu Yuanzhen, "Xue Qinghe" began to feel puzzled by the decrees he had issued.
Although she also knew a lot about becoming a god at level 100, she did not associate these measures that encouraged theft with faith because she did not know about Amon's large-scale theft in Spirit Hall City.
The final conclusion was: perhaps her knowledge was too shallow to understand the deep meaning behind these measures. She would find a chance to ask him for advice in the future, and if they were good, she would promote them nationwide after she ascended the throne.
...
Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang stared intently at the letter in his hand, his expression blank, in disbelief.
This was given to Yu Xiaogang by Yu Tianheng after receiving the news from his family. As for himself, he had already packed his luggage and set off to return to his family.
"Impossible, this isn't true." He shed tears and slumped into the chair.
"Xiaogang, what exactly happened?" Flender grabbed the letter and his pupils shrank.
He exclaimed, "How is this possible? That's one of the top three sects' leaders."
Although he initially felt incredible, after careful consideration, he realized that it was indeed possible. With the strength Amon displayed in the Soul Master Competition championship match, killing Yu Yuanzhen didn't seem too difficult.
He looked at the tearful Yu Xiaogang, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say.
Liu Erlong also looked sad and shook her head at Flender, "Flender, let Xiaogang be alone for a while."
"Dad…" Yu Xiaogang muttered, recalling the bits and pieces of his childhood, he suddenly covered his face and sobbed.
After a long time, he said softly, "Erlong, do you know that before the age of six, because of my intelligence, I was always my father's pride.
"On the day of my martial soul awakening, when he saw that my soul power was only half a level, he showed a disappointed look on his face, that expression, I will never forget.
"After that, other people in the family laughed at me, ridiculed me, only my father, always encouraged me, comforted me.
"I wasn't driven out of the family, I left on my own, because my existence made my father, the patriarch, very embarrassed, I shamed him.
"Although he wouldn't think that way in his heart, I couldn't bear it, so I took the initiative to leave the family. In fact, I encountered many difficulties on my journey, sometimes I was in trouble, at a loss, but things were inexplicably resolved.
"I know, it was all my father who sent people to do it, he has been caring about me, paying attention to me.
"I want to prove to the people in the family that I am not a waste, I want my father to be proud of me again. But, I haven't even proved myself yet, but he's dead."
Yu Xiaogang looked tired and helpless. Liu Erlong just listened quietly, hugged him, and gently stroked his back.
"I want revenge, I must avenge this irreconcilable hatred… Duke, Amon!" Yu Xiaogang said, word by word, gnashing his teeth.
"Xiaogang, I will be with you, no matter what you do, I will always be with you," Liu Erlong said gently.
...
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which lost Yu Yuanzhen, the only Title Douluo in the family, ushered in a huge change.
The clan elders watched for a while, and after discovering that Amon had no intention of exterminating them, they began to fight for power and profit.
There were quite a few Soul Douluo cultivators, and none of them obeyed each other. They argued endlessly about the right to speak and the allocation of resources.
This made Yu Tianheng, who had returned to the family, feel exhausted. He stood on the cliff, looking into the distance, the sky and the earth were vast, the white clouds were vast, and he only felt that he was so small and powerless.
Dugu Yan followed behind him, "Tianheng…"
The two looked at each other and saw the bitterness and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Yu Tianheng suddenly opened his mouth and said, "The Clear Sky Sect's Sect Master was killed by Amon, my grandfather was killed by Amon, and your grandfather also had conflicts with Amon. Do you think he did it too?"
They only now knew what Amon had done in the championship match, and with a little association, they realized that Amon was very suspicious of killing Dugu Bo.
"I don't know," Dugu Yan said with some confusion.
She didn't know what to do next. A powerful enemy who could kill a Title Douluo was not something she could contend with at all.
Originally, there was still a glimmer of hope to use the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to avenge her, but now they were struggling to protect themselves.
The two embraced, snuggling against each other, feeling the warmth from each other's bodies, and only then did they feel a little relieved.
Inside the council hall on the main peak of Nine Dragons Mountain.
A Soul Douluo elder suddenly said, "Although Duke Amon has not taken further action against us, could it be that he is waiting for us to come to his door to apologize and admit our mistakes?"
"What? Third Brother, are you crazy? That bastard killed our patriarch, and we still have to apologize and admit our mistakes?" Another person said angrily.
"Otherwise, what? Without the patriarch in the family and without a Title Douluo, can our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still maintain the title of one of the top three sects?" The third elder's face was ugly.
An old man with white hair and a long beard said, "What the Third Brother said also makes sense. If that Duke Amon still wants to do something, we can't resist at all."
"My father's bones are not cold, and you are already thinking about how to wag your tails and beg the murderer for mercy?" Yu Xiaogang's eldest brother, Yu Yuanzhen's eldest son, said angrily.
"We are also considering it for the sake of the family. If we don't bow our heads to Duke Amon, then our various functional industries in the Tudor Territory cannot be preserved at all. How will the family's food, clothing, and supplies be solved in the future?"
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is mainly divided into two factions: the die-hard faction led by Yu Yuanzhen, who would rather move the clan's territory and flee thousands of miles than bow their heads to Amon.
The other faction is the surrender faction, hoping to preserve the industries in the Tudor Territory by apologizing to Amon and expressing their obedience. They mainly consider future interests, not the feelings of the clan members or the pride of the family.
Neither faction could convince the other, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was plunged into a crisis of division.
...
Amon took a soul master out of the death row and let him absorb the three soul bones stripped from Yu Yuanzhen.
After confirming the skills carried by these soul bones, he killed the soul master and called Lei Yin.
Lei Yin fell silent looking at the two soul bones placed in front of him.
He was already dizzy and didn't know what to say. He had just absorbed two not long ago, and now there were two more. When did soul bones become so common?
"Don't ask too much, and don't think too much, just absorb them. The stronger you are, the more you will help me. This is a small investment of mine. As long as it succeeds, it's worth it to pay any amount of soul bones," Amon said with a smile.
Two of Yu Yuanzhen's soul bones were suitable for Lei Yin.
One was a torso bone and the other was a left leg bone. As for the other one, it overlapped with the left arm bone that had the "Soul Bone Space".
The torso bone provided a "Thunder Pool" skill, the effect of which was the same as Lei Yin's second soul skill, which was to store electrical energy, but the storage capacity was very different.
The second soul skill could only store electrical energy equivalent to all of Lei Yin's soul power at level 35, while the capacity of the "Thunder Pool" was quite considerable even for a Title Douluo.
The other left leg bone provided "Thunder Speed". Of course, it wasn't real thunder speed, otherwise Yu Yuanzhen wouldn't have been so passive when fighting Amon.
The effect of this soul bone was to increase speed, which was a good supplement for Lei Yin.
His "elementalization" movement was very effective for long-distance movement, but it was not so satisfactory in close combat. Because it was too fast, it was difficult to control and could not be used continuously.
The "Thunder Speed" of this left leg bone just made up for this.
After absorbing the soul bones, Lei Yin's soul power level reached level fifty.
Feeling the fluctuations of soul power on his body, Lei Yin looked blank and confused. How long has it been since he advanced to the Soul Ancestor before he reached level fifty!
Moreover, he had a premonition that he was definitely not just an ordinary level fifty, and there was still a lot of soul power that was restricted and could not be expressed because he did not have a fifth soul ring. If he could obtain a soul ring, he would still have a considerable improvement.
