Chapter 385: Chapter 385: The Slaughter King’s Irritation
"No, according to the War God’s inheritor, it’s the spirit of a human genius."
Hearing this, the Sea God’s furrowed brow relaxed, and his tense expression eased.
So, it was just a spirit. The Sea God had been momentarily alarmed by the mention of a pure-blooded dragon.
But upon reflection, it made sense. The dragon race had been extinct for so long; how could a pure-blooded dragon suddenly appear?
"If it’s just a spirit, then continue to observe. There’s no need to make a big deal out of it. With such a spirit, the chances of him becoming a god are quite high. Once he ascends, even a so-called pure-blooded Holy Light Dragon will still be a servant of the Divine Realm."
After dismissing his subordinate, the Sea God seemed to remember something and looked toward Sea God Island with a complex expression.
"Bo Saixi, the task I assigned you has been ongoing for so long, yet you’ve sent no news."
The Sea God looked at Bo Saixi, who sat with her eyes closed, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across his face.
But no matter how dissatisfied he was, there was little he could do. After all, the new god was a stranger. Even if he was the weakest divine official, if he wanted to hide, Bo Saixi would have a hard time finding him.
Even if she did, with her current strength, even with the Sea God’s divine will, she wouldn’t be a match for a true god.
"Sigh, even the War God has started bestowing his inheritance. Others must be searching for their own inheritors. Where is my inheritor?"
The Sea God murmured, looking at the vast Sea God Temple with a sense of confusion.
Meanwhile, as time passed, news of Tang Hao’s crippling and Tang Xiao’s narrow escape from the Sword and Bone Douluo at the foot of the Clear Sky Sect’s mountain spread across the continent.
Such explosive news naturally captured everyone’s attention.
Tang Xiao’s condition was dire. Not only was he unconscious, but his left arm had been severed at the root, and his aura was extremely weak.
It was clear that he had paid a heavy price to escape the Sword and Bone Douluo’s pursuit.
In the Clear Sky Sect, the five elders looked at the severely injured Sect Master Tang Xiao, their faces filled with anger.
Especially when they learned that Xiao Yu wanted to use Tang Hao’s broken body as ransom, their fury intensified.
How dare this Blue Tyrant Academy, this Xiao Yu, be so brazen!
Did they not know that their ancestor Tang Chen was an invincible powerhouse who had easily defeated the 99th-ranked Title Douluo, Qian Daoliu?!
How dare a mere junior like Xiao Yu offend the Clear Sky Sect and demand ransom for Tang Hao’s return! This is outrageous!
For a moment, the five elders, filled with righteous indignation, went to their ancestor Tang Chen to complain about the Blue Tyrant Academy’s disrespect and Xiao Yu’s provocation.
However, after hearing their complaints, Tang Chen’s expression remained calm, showing neither anger nor sorrow.
It was as if Tang Hao, lying crippled, and Tang Xiao, hanging at the Blue Tyrant Academy’s entrance, weren’t his grandsons.
Seeing Tang Chen’s calm demeanor, the five elders were momentarily stunned, their faces showing confusion.
"Big brother, say something! The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family has humiliated our Clear Sky Sect and harmed our members. We can’t just swallow this insult!"
"Yes, big brother. This is no different from them defecating on our heads. If we don’t handle this, how can the Clear Sky Sect make a grand return?"
The Slaughter King, hearing the five elders’ complaints, felt nothing but irritation and annoyance.
He had only come out to find the person who had become a god, not to help the Clear Sky Sect. The deaths of the Clear Sky Sect’s members meant nothing to him.
Moreover, it was the Clear Sky Sect who had provoked the Blue Tyrant Academy, not the other way around. Although he was Tang Chen, the real Tang Chen was dead. He had no obligation to care about this.
But since he still needed the Clear Sky Sect to help him complete his mission, he couldn’t say much, lest he further incite their anger.
Finally, unable to bear the noise, the Slaughter King released his soul power to silence their complaints and spoke sternly.
"Enough. I understand the situation. But with the sect’s grand reopening ceremony approaching, I don’t want this matter to delay it.
Once the sect officially re-emerges, I’ll handle the Blue Tyrant Academy. I have other matters to attend to. You may leave. If you’re truly angry, you can go to the Blue Tyrant Academy for revenge. I won’t stop you."
Hearing the Slaughter King’s words, the five elders’ expressions changed. They opened their mouths as if to say something, but in the end, they remained silent and quickly left the room.
The eldest elder, Tang Xuan, after leaving Tang Chen’s room, murmured with confusion.
"Why do I feel that since big brother returned, his entire demeanor has changed? I remember that in the past, he deeply cared about the safety of the sect’s disciples.
If he had known that Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were beaten like this, he would have rushed to seek revenge. But this time, he’s willing to swallow his pride and wait until the sect officially re-emerges before taking action."
The other elders fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
But in the end, out of respect for the Slaughter King’s authority, they chose to swallow their anger.
After all, they couldn’t defeat Xiao Yu themselves.
They were impulsive, but they weren’t foolish enough to seek their own deaths.
The sect’s honor was important, but their lives were more so. As they aged, they valued their lives more.
Moreover, without their lives, how could they enjoy the benefits of the sect’s honor?
The next day, Xiao Yu woke up beside Ning Rongrong’s exhausted body.
After giving Rongrong a breath of light, he stepped over the scattered, beautiful figures lying on the floor, dressed, and left the room.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu returning with breakfast.
"Xiao Yu, you’re awake."
Liu Erlong looked at Xiao Yu, her spirits high.
