NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 139: Liu Erlong Kidnapped
Chapter 139: Liu Erlong Kidnapped
However, after a while.
Yu Yuanzhen discovered that Yu Luomian did not react as excitedly as he had imagined.
Instead, his face was filled with seriousness.
"Why aren't you smiling, Second Brother?"
"Are you unhappy to see me return?"
Yu Yuanzhen asked with a furrowed brow.
A very bad thought crossed his mind.
Could it be that in my absence, the Second Brother has grown fond of the position of clan leader and does not wish for my return?
"Don't misunderstand, Big Brother."
Having been brothers for decades, Yu Luomian was very clear about Yu Yuanzhen's thoughts.
"Big Brother, can we let this vengeance go?"
He said with a bitter face.
"Why?" Yu Yuanzhen asked, puzzled.
"Qin Xiao is too powerful. We should stop."
"What do you mean? How can we boost others' morale and diminish our own prestige? If Qin Xiao is powerful, am I not powerful as well?"
Knowing that his cultivation had broken through, his martial soul had evolved, and he possessed treasures hidden in the family's secret grounds, Yu Yuanzhen was in high spirits, harboring an invincible belief. How could he accept others damping his spirits?
"Big Brother, you don't know. During your absence, I personally went to the Heavenly Dou Empire and investigated Qin Xiao. His strength is truly beyond our imagination."
"Even if your cultivation has reached level 96, you cannot be his match."
Yu Luomian said, recalling the words Liu Erlong had told him.
"Oh, I would like to know what happened in the Heavenly Dou Empire?" Yu Yuanzhen, far from angry, asked with great curiosity.
After all, Yu Luomian only knew that his cultivation had reached level 96 and was unaware of the family's ultimate treasures and the evolved Radiant Holy Dragon martial soul.
"Big Brother, do you still remember the message from Haotian Sect?"
"Of course, I remember." Yu Yuanzhen's reply was affirmative. "At that time, Haotian Sect asked for our help, saying that a powerful enemy would invade them. I later vetoed this because I suspected it was a plot by the Spirit Hall."
Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Yu Luomian showed a bitter smile.
"Big Brother, we were wrong about this. Haotian Sect's plea for help was not a conspiracy by the Spirit Hall but a real distress."
"What? You're saying this is true?" Yu Yuanzhen's eyes widened.
Yu Luomian nodded heavily, "Yes, it's true. The formidable enemy mentioned by Haotian Sect was none other than Qin Xiao."
"Qin Xiao again?"
"What courage does he have to confront Haotian Sect?"
Yu Yuanzhen was well aware that Haotian Sect's strength was incomparable to that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan.
If Qin Xiao had the strength to challenge the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, he would still be crushed to dust in front of Haotian Sect.
"Of course, it's not just Qin Xiao, but also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Qin Xiao, in alliance with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, has already eradicated Haotian Sect."
Yu Luomian recounted the facts he had learned from Liu Erlong.
Yu Yuanzhen listened quietly, his eyes unable to hide his astonishment.
After a long while.
"Big Brother, are you alright?" Yu Luomian asked the stunned Yu Yuanzhen.
"I'm fine."
Yu Yuanzhen came back to his senses and then said with a sigh, "I never imagined that the top sect in the world, Haotian Sect, would be destroyed like this."
Being one of the top three sects, the current Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan and the former Haotian Sect shared a similar fate.
It was indeed the same destiny.
"So, Big Brother, please stop."
"As long as you're willing to live incognito and no longer meddle in the affairs of the Douluo Continent, not appearing in the spirit world, and even hiding behind the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, without spreading the news of your revival, I believe you can still live a peaceful life."
Yu Luomian's voice was filled with helplessness and weakness.
If it could keep Yu Yuanzhen alive, aside from living incognito, he didn't know of any other way.
"What are you saying?"
On the other hand, Yu Yuanzhen, after hearing Yu Luomian's words, frowned and couldn't help saying, "Are you teaching me how to conduct myself? Should I, the master of one of the top three sects, only act like a shrinking turtle?"
"Even if I agree to your proposal, would those deceased sect disciples, Xiao Feng, Tian Heng, and the others agree?"
"If they knew I had greatly advanced in cultivation but couldn't avenge them, instead choosing to be a shrinking turtle, would they rest in peace in the underworld?"
Without a doubt, Yu Yuanzhen was unsettled.
If he couldn't take revenge, then what was the point of improving his strength?
If Qin Xiao, this madman, was allowed to roam free, he might as well be killed; he even felt it would be better not to have been revived.
After listening, Yu Luomian's eyes showed sorrow, "Big Brother, please reconsider."
"Ah."
Moments later, Yu Yuanzhen calmed down and couldn't help but sigh, "Second Brother, I know you mean well, but rest assured, I won't foolishly throw my life away."
"My cultivation is not just what you see before you. The 96-level soul power is just the surface. Do you remember the legend within our family?"
Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Yu Luomian's face showed shock, "The legend within the family, could it be that the legendary treasures have appeared?"
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian, as brothers who shared everything, thus Yu Luomian also knew some secrets only known to the clan leader.
"That's right, take a look!"
Yu Yuanzhen nodded emphatically, and as his mind moved, a strong soul force fluctuation spread out, creating a gust of wind in the room, followed by an angry roar.
"Roar!"
The loud sound of a dragon's chant rang out.
A giant dragon covered in golden scales appeared in front of Yu Yuanzhen, encircling him like a snake formation.
"Big Brother, this, this, this."
Yu Luomian was stunned, his eyes wide open as he looked at the golden dragon in front of him, his mouth agape, unable to utter a complete sentence.
A powerful, soul-deep oppressive force made him feel a significant pressure.
However, Yu Yuanzhen understood Yu Luomian's meaning. "Correct, this is the Radiant Holy Dragon from the family legends, the origin of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan's bloodline."
"Although my cultivation is only at level 96, I can fully exert myself to contend against a Title Douluo of level 97. And look..."
As his voice fell, a snow-white glow gathered above his head.
Gradually, a snow-white crown appeared atop his head.
"Is this the family's treasure?" Yu Luomian immediately thought of a possibility.
"Indeed, this is the True Dragon Nine Crowns!"
"The legendary treasure of our family."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded emphatically. "Once I fully utilize the True Dragon Nine Crowns, my cultivation will reach a terrifying level, and my physique will greatly improve. Even against the Spirit Hall's Title Douluo of level 99, I will have the power to fight, and even to win."
"So powerful..." Yu Luomian was somewhat astonished.
He knew the treasures of the family legend were extraordinary, but he had not imagined they could be so powerful.
What does a Title Douluo of level 99 represent? It's the pinnacle existence on the Douluo Continent.
Who could contend against such a powerhouse?
"Second Brother, do you think I can now seek revenge against Qin Xiao?"
"Yes." Yu Luomian nodded emphatically.
If even a Title Douluo of level 99 could not seek revenge against Qin Xiao, then he didn't know what level of strength would suffice.
Yu Yuanzhen said, "Good, then I entrust the family to you from now on."
"Big Brother, the position of clan leader will always belong to you."
Yu Luomian said, "I will wait in the clan for your triumphant return."
Triumphant return?
Yu Yuanzhen's face showed a complex expression.
Without a doubt, this journey was extremely dangerous. Regardless of winning or losing, Yu Yuanzhen would not be able to return.
Because once the True Dragon Nine Crowns are fully activated, what he pays will be his life.
...
Several days later.
Flander hurriedly ran to Qin Xiao, breaking the peaceful days Qin Xiao had been enjoying.
These days, he had been living too comfortably.
Meng Yiran and Zhuqing Zhu had taken good care of him.
Now, Qin Xiao understood the saying, "Spring nights are short; from now on, the king will not start his morning court early."
It's not that he didn't want to start early; he simply couldn't get up.
One word to describe this state, tired.
If described in two words, back pain.
"Flander, Dean, what's the hurry?"
Qin Xiao stretched lazily, asking languidly.
There's no visiting the Three Treasures Hall without a reason. Flander's anxious appearance proved that something important must have happened.
Flander hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened, Erlong, Erlong she has been kidnapped!"
"What?"
Immediately, Qin Xiao's eyebrows shot up, his face as cold as frost.
Damn it.
Someone dared to touch my woman?
Although the relationship between Liu Erlong and Qin Xiao wasn't made clear, since she had been with him, she belonged to Qin Xiao.
Liu Erlong had to be responsible to Qin Xiao.
Flander felt a great pressure.
He knew that the Thunder Emperor was angered.
"What happened, explain clearly."
At this moment, Qin Xiao demanded again.
"Your Majesty, early this morning, Erlong left the academy and hasn't returned. The gatekeeper found a letter that was delivered by someone.
Right, this letter, it was sent by the people who kidnapped Erlong. Please take a look for yourself."
Flander said, hurriedly handing over a letter to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao immediately unfolded it.
His expression changed drastically, looking very unpleasant.
As Flander said, the letter was from the people who had kidnapped Liu Erlong.
The letter was brief but made their intentions clear. They were waiting for Qin Xiao by the unnamed lake a hundred miles outside of Heaven Dou City.
But, they only allowed Qin Xiao to go alone to meet them.
"Without a doubt, the people who kidnapped Erlong are targeting me specifically."
"Only..."
I see you're requesting some changes to the names and characters in the provided text. Here's the revised version:
---
"I never thought there would still be someone so bold as to target me?"
"It seems the incidents with Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan haven't served as a lesson for everyone."
Qin Xiao said as he crushed the letter in his hand into dust.
Without a doubt, regardless of the opponent's intentions, he would meet the challenge.
Qin Xiao might not be a good person, but he would protect his woman.
But who could the opponent be?
Remnants of Haotian Sect?
Tang Hao?
Qin Xiao thought it unlikely.
Tang Hao was very cunning. He could betray his teammates, but asking him to risk his life was as difficult as reaching the heavens.
A typical case of sacrificing teammates with limitless power.
Without absolute certainty, Tang Hao wouldn't act against him.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan not giving up?
Qin Xiao thought it unlikely.
After all, Liu Erlong was Yu Luomian's own daughter. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs.
Or could it be Duke Zhu?
Qin Xiao suddenly thought of a possibility.
But even Zhao Wuji couldn't defeat Duke Zhu, so he wouldn't be so foolish as to provoke disaster, right?
In a moment, Qin Xiao was certain Duke Zhu didn't have the courage.
Wait.
Duke Zhu might not have the courage, but the Star Luo Emperor, grieving over the loss of his son, might seek revenge for Dai Mubai's death.
Qin Xiao considered this possibility.
And the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Such a player was typically fearless like a newborn calf.
"Your Majesty, you know, what do you plan to do now?"
Flander asked with concern.
"What can I do? Of course, I'm going to deal with it."
"They want to see me, so I'll meet them and see who wants to eliminate me. Of course, I also want to eradicate such a threat."
Qin Xiao said, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
His choice was clear: eliminate all enemies.
"But could there be danger?"
Flander asked nervously.
Qin Xiao smiled, "Dean Flander, don't worry, Erlong won't be in danger."
"Ah, this, that..." Flander stammered, his face embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, you know that's not what I meant." He explained awkwardly.
"Dean Flander, don't be nervous, I was just joking." Qin Xiao smiled slightly. "For me, danger is inevitable. Without certain confidence, these people wouldn't dare to act against me."
Qin Xiao spoke of danger, but his expression didn't seem like he was about to face any.
Flander thought for a moment, "Does Your Majesty want to ask Sect Master Ning for help?"
"We can't involve Ning Fengzhi." Qin Xiao shook his head. "Have you forgotten what the letter said? Only I am to go alone. If others are found to be involved, Erlong's safety cannot be guaranteed."
Saying so, his face became serious.
"Then aren't you in danger?" Flander became nervous.
"Don't worry, I will bring Erlong back safely."
As Qin Xiao's voice fell, his figure had already moved a hundred meters away.
In the next moment, he completely disappeared from Flander's sight.
Meanwhile.
A hundred miles outside of Heaven Dou City.
By the side of a lake as clear as sapphire.
Several figures gathered together, most of them wearing black clothes and veils, their true faces obscured.
Among them, a woman in a coarse cloth long dress lay unconscious on the green stone.
Undoubtedly, this woman was Liu Erlong.
"Do you think that kid Qin Xiao will really come for this woman?"
Someone beside Liu Erlong asked.
Someone quickly answered affirmatively, "Of course. We've been observing for two days and found that this person is the dean of the academy, definitely closely related to Qin Xiao."
"I wonder how capable Qin Xiao really is, and what price we will have to pay to kill him."
Another person voiced their concern.
However.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone retorted, "Humph, coward, what's there to fear? We have 8 Soul Douluos among us, and more than 20 Soul Saints ambushing around. Can't we deal with a Title Douluo?"
Clearly, he was very confident about the operation.
His words were immediately echoed by others.
"Marshal is right. What if he is a Title Douluo? Don't forget that we also have the support of Lord Xu from the Xu family. With the Star Crown martial soul assisting us, each of us can exhibit the power of a Title Douluo."
