I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

"They want us to leave?"

Yu Luomian and Yu Xiaogang were both stunned, not expecting Liu Erlong to be so decisive and straightforward.

The unquestionable tone in her words was chilling.

"What, do you want me to escort you out?"

Seeing Yu Luomian and Yu Xiaogang standing still, Liu Erlong spoke up again.

Anyone could hear what would happen if Yu Xiaogang and Yu Luomian continued to linger.

The so-called "escort" was not going to be pleasant.

"Hmph."

"Dean Liu, there's no need for you to act; I can take care of them myself."

Behind Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji was already gearing up for a fight, his movements causing his bones to crackle crisply.

Yu Xiaogang reacted as well.

He used his hands to push himself backward, crawling further away.

At his age, he couldn't withstand Zhao Wuji.

Though Yu Luomian stood his ground, the twitching at the corner of his eye revealed his unease.

He knew Zhao Wuji was ruthless. Their last encounter was still vivid in his memory.

"Erlong, we can leave, but before we do, could you tell me where your uncle's body is?"

Yu Luomian, the strong dragon that doesn't oppress the local snakes, finally softened.

But the existence of the True Dragon Nine Crowns is of great significance to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family; it cannot be lost.

Liu Erlong paused before speaking indifferently, "Yu Yuanzhen's body has been reduced to ashes."

Ashes!

Yu Luomian and Yu Xiaogang were stunned again.

"Father, you died so miserably..."

Yu Xiaogang couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

There was sorrow for Yu Yuanzhen's death.

And for himself.

After all, with Yu Yuanzhen dead and their enemy Qin Xiao still alive, how could he cope?

"Enough."

Yu Luomian sighed with a complex look, then glanced coldly at Yu Xiaogang, "Useless waste, how much longer will you disgrace yourself? Get up now."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang suddenly clung to Yu Luomian's leg, "Uncle, we can't just leave like this. Not only is my father gone without a trace, but the clan's treasure is still out there. The True Dragon Nine Crowns must be in the hands of that thief Qin Xiao."

"What do you propose then?"

"Find Qin Xiao and take back the True Dragon Nine Crowns from him."

"What?!"

Yu Luomian was shocked; he even thought Yu Xiaogang had misspoken.

Yu Yuanzhen, who possessed the True Dragon Nine Crowns, couldn't kill Qin Xiao.

And he expected me to confront Qin Xiao, isn't that pushing me towards death?

"If you want to die, go find Qin Xiao yourself."

Yu Luomian was furious.

He was seriously questioning whether Yu Xiaogang was trying to kill him.

Just thinking about it, anyone would know what their fate would be if they went after Qin Xiao.

Yu Luomian estimated that being reduced to ashes wouldn't be a problem.

"I, I, what can I do."

After hearing Yu Luomian's words, Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, looking somewhat at a loss.

What a joke.

Even if Liu Erlong told him where Qin Xiao was, he wouldn't dare to seek him out.

With Qin Xiao's cultivation, killing him, Yu Xiaogang, would be no more difficult than killing an ant.

He just wanted the True Dragon Nine Crowns to see if it could break the constraints on his martial soul or himself. He wasn't really seeking revenge for Yu Yuanzhen or looking for death.

"Old Zhao, see them off."

Liu Erlong, seeing Yu Xiaogang and Yu Luomian going back and forth, was clearly getting annoyed.

"Alright."

Zhao Wuji stepped forward, the ground seemingly trembling under his step.

"There's no need for your escort; we can leave on our own."

Yu Luomian's expression changed slightly, then he coldly huffed, picked up Yu Xiaogang, and walked past everyone towards the distance.

In a short while, they had completely vanished from everyone's sight.

"Erlong, I think your father and Yu Xiaogang might not give up so easily."

After the two left, Flender expressed his worries.

Liu Erlong's pupils slightly narrowed, her voice cold, "Even if they harbor malicious intentions, what can they do? Now, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family doesn't even have a Titled Douluo level powerhouse. They're like a toothless tiger. If they dare use any despicable means, I'll make sure they pay the price."

"Fair enough."

Seeing Liu Erlong's confident demeanor, Flender nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing explicitly.

Liu Erlong was right. With her current level of cultivation and strength, if Yu Luomian or Yu Xiaogang really tried to plot something, it would end very badly for them.

---

*Night fell.*

Under the moonlight, Liu Erlong sat at a wooden table in the courtyard, holding a stemmed glass in her hand, half-filled with strong liquor.

"So many days have passed. I wonder where Qin Xiao has reached. Has he made it to the sea?"

Liu Erlong muttered to herself softly.

But soon, her face showed a bit of irritation, "No, that's impossible. With so many beauties by Qin Xiao's side, he must be too busy enjoying himself to even think about traveling."

She felt this was the more likely scenario.

Whoo whoo.
Suddenly, a gust of wind reached Liu Erlong's ears, and her expression immediately softened, replaced by a sense of indifference.

"Erlong, after all, I am your father. Is there a need to look so cold every time you see me?"

With that voice, Yu Luomian appeared outside the fence of Liu Erlong's small courtyard.

Just like during the day, he stood outside, evidently not planning to cross the threshold without Liu Erlong's invitation.

But still, Yu Luomian asked, "Won't you invite me in to sit?"

Liu Erlong shook her head: "I don't feel like it right now. Just tell me directly, why have you come?"

"Sigh."

Yu Luomian sighed, saying, "I want to ask if there's still a chance for us?"

"What kind of chance do you want?"

Yu Luomian replied, "To retrieve the lost treasure of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, the True Dragon Nine Crowns, and to figure out how to prevent Qin Xiao from completely annihilating the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family."

In truth, upon learning of Yu Yuanzhen's death and that his body was gone, his heart nearly broke.

Suppressing the sorrow, he took Yu Xiaogang and left the Blue Tyrant Academy.

During their departure, he pondered a lot and realized the crisis the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family was facing more clearly.

That was Qin Xiao's retaliation.

Such a peerless strongman, who could stop him?

At least, for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, which lacked even a Titled Douluo, it would be a catastrophe.

Liu Erlong frowned slightly, "That's two things."

Yu Luomian's face showed a bit of embarrassment, "It's all the same. If you're willing to help me, neither of these would be difficult for you."

However, Liu Erlong's response was despairing: "You can leave now."

"No, I can't just leave!"

Yu Luomian was clear; this was the last chance.

He knew the relationship between Liu Erlong and Qin Xiao was extraordinary. If anyone could save the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, he couldn't think of anyone else.

"I won't help you. Think about what Yu Yuanzhen did to me and Qin Xiao. It's all his fault. He's dead, but someone still has to bear the consequences."

Liu Erlong's voice was calm, exuding an undeniable stance.

This caused Yu Luomian's expression to shift, showing his inner turmoil.

"Liu Erlong, don't push me..."

After a moment, as if making a decision, he clenched his fists, his voice almost squeezed out between clenched teeth.

"So what?"

Liu Erlong stood up slowly.

At the same time, a powerful soul force aura burst forth from her.

Yu Luomian immediately felt the pressure.

Yes.

Pressure.

This wasn't just the pressure of soul force; it was a deeper, bloodline-originated oppression that made him feel utterly powerless.

"Roar!"

At that moment, the phantom of a thunder dragon wrapped in purple lightning appeared behind Liu Erlong.

It roared skywards, giving off a thunderous sensation.

Heaven's sake, a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?

"No, it's not the Blue Lightning, but the Purple Lightning!"

The transformation of Liu Erlong's martial soul made Yu Luomian's jaw drop in shock.

"You, you've actually become the owner of the True Dragon Nine Crowns, successfully refining it!"

At this moment, Yu Luomian had guessed what happened to Liu Erlong. His eyes showed shock.

He was aware of Liu Erlong's talent.

Her variant martial soul, the Fire Dragon, was strong, but there was still a considerable gap compared to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.

Yet now, the strength of Liu Erlong's martial soul exerted such great pressure even on him.

That purple thunder dragon made his soul tremble.

This feeling, in Yu Luomian's heart, was only slightly weaker than the Holy Light Dragon once displayed by Yu Yuanzhen.

And the only reason for Liu Erlong's transformation, he could think of, was the True Dragon Nine Crowns.

"You're right, I've obtained the True Dragon Nine Crowns, and it has recognized me as its master. You can't take it away."

As Liu Erlong's voice fell, a snow-white light gathered above her head.

A crown, white as jade, formed above Liu Erlong's head in an instant.

"Really?"

At this point, all of Yu Luomian's suspicions were confirmed.

"Now, what do you have to say?"

"Erlong, don't misunderstand," Yu Luomian squeezed out an awkward smile, "What I meant was, don't force me to kneel down and beg you!"

"Just this, and you're the second in command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family," Liu Erlong coldly scoffed.

"For the lives of thousands in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, what's dignity worth?"

"Life is more important than anything."

Yu Luomian didn't mind Liu Erlong's mockery, "Also, Erlong, consider how well you've managed Blue Tyrant Academy over the years, in part thanks to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family's help behind the scenes."

"So, you want to use this favor as leverage?" Liu Erlong coldly chuckled, "I, Liu Erlong, am not ungrateful, but I gave you warnings before. How did you respond? Moreover, any debt of gratitude you owed was because of what you owed my mother and me, right? And now, Yu Yuanzhen has squandered it all."

Hearing this, Yu Luomian's face darkened.

Liu Erlong seemed unreasonable, but every word she said was logical.

He was momentarily at a loss for words.

But could he really wait for Qin Xiao to come to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and annihilate them?
He didn't want to see that happen, nor did he dare to imagine it.

"However, I do have a suggestion."

Just when Yu Luomian felt hopeless, Liu Erlong spoke solemnly.

"What's the suggestion? Tell me, I'll listen."

Yu Luomian's eyes flashed with eagerness and anticipation. He said, "Don't just mention one suggestion, even if you have twenty, I'll listen."

"No, I'll just make one suggestion."

Liu Erlong shook her head, "My suggestion is to eliminate the Star Luo Royal Family, the Dai Clan."

"What? The Star Luo Royal Family's Dai Clan?"

"What grudge or grievance do you have with them that you want to eliminate them?"

"Am I hearing this wrong?"

Yu Luomian was initially stunned.

After all, the Star Luo Royal Family, the Dai Clan, had a legacy spanning many years.

They weren't just any soul master family but the rulers of a country controlling countless armies and tens of thousands of soul masters.

In the soul master world, they were a major force, second only to the top three sects and the Spirit Hall.

Even considering the power of the populace, the top three sects and the Spirit Hall wouldn't dare to underestimate them.

"Do you find it difficult?"

Liu Erlong disdainfully said, "The Haotian Sect that supported the Star Luo Empire has been destroyed. Are you still afraid to make a move?"

Yu Luomian bitterly said, "Even without Haotian Sect's support, there are still many powerful individuals within the Star Luo Empire. At least there are a dozen Soul Douluos and dozens of Soul Saints, not to mention the Spirit Fusion Ability Ghost White Tiger. If my brother were still alive, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family would certainly not fear them, but now it's not easy to take down the Dai family."

"Heh."

Liu Erlong lightly laughed and added, "Did you know that before Yu Yuanzhen made his move on me, the Star Luo Empire dispatched eight Soul Douluos and over twenty Soul Saints to use me as bait to ambush Qin Xiao? In the end, they were all killed by Qin Xiao. Now, there shouldn't be many strong individuals left in the Star Luo Empire."

"What!"

"There was such a thing?"

"Doesn't that mean the strong individuals in the Star Luo Empire have been almost wiped out?"

Yu Luomian was shocked.

He hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

"I didn't say, but you should know, Qin Xiao's absence is because he was injured. He has said that once his injuries heal, he will surely annihilate both the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and the Star Luo Royal Family."

"If you can eliminate the Dai Clan before Qin Xiao makes a move, it could be seen as a gesture of goodwill. As long as you bring the head of the Star Luo Emperor to him, Qin Xiao might spare you."

At this moment, Liu Erlong said indifferently, "Make a decision quickly; you don't have much time."

Hearing this, Yu Luomian no longer hesitated and nodded firmly, "I'll do it. But not just for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, but for you too. I want the world to know, my daughter, Liu Erlong, is not someone anyone can provoke."

Yu Luomian's voice was resolute.

He understood, Liu Erlong was right.

If they could eliminate the Star Luo Royal Family before Qin Xiao acted, Qin Xiao's anger towards their family might be significantly reduced.

Suddenly, Yu Luomian seemed to realize something, his expression complex, "Erlong, did you plan this all along?"

He felt everything was too smooth.

According to Liu Erlong's usual character, after such an event, let alone offering advice, she wouldn't bother talking this much.
