...
Just as Xuan Hao and his group were strolling along, about to step out of the magnificent white jade gate of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan...
"Boom—!"
A bolt of blue lightning, as thick as a bucket, suddenly struck down from the sky. Immediately afterward, Yu Yuanzhen, exuding an aura of menace, descended from the heavens like a demon, blocking everyone's path.
At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen's old face, etched with deep wrinkles, was so gloomy it seemed to drip water, and the lightning in his eyes flashed wildly.
But even with a thousand resentments and frustrations in his heart, he had no choice but to bow his head and compromise in the face of Xuan Hao's seemingly unsolvable "open scheme."
"Xuanhao, you've won."
Yu Yuanzhen gritted his teeth, practically forcing the words out.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said, "I can make an exception this time and let you take a look at the forbidden area.
However, after you've seen it, I hope you'll keep all the mess that happened in the square today to yourselves and never mention it again!"
Upon hearing this indirect admission of weakness, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, who were following behind Xuan Hao, exchanged a glance, a hint of a smile flashing in their eyes.
The fact that the sect leader of the number one beast spirit in the world was forced to this point by a teenager is quite a spectacle on the Douluo Continent.
"Hey, what you're saying, Sect Leader Yu, makes it sound like I'm some kind of gossipy old woman."
Xuan Hao stopped in his tracks, showing no intention of knowing when to stop. Instead, he crossed his arms, pouting innocently, and said, "I wasn't planning on bringing this up anywhere. It's just that your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan insisted on turning your back on us."
Xuan Hao bluntly mocked, "Just now in the square, when we needed someone to take the blame and find a way out, we were 'family' and it was 'family business'; now that I want to go to your back mountain to see the scenery, you immediately turn on me and say I'm an 'outsider,' even my own daughter Erlong has become an outsider."
"With that kind of ability to change her expression so quickly, it's a real shame she's not a professional opera singer."
At this point, Xuan Hao's smile vanished completely, replaced by an undisguised disgust and contempt in his eyes.
"Your behavior reminds me of an extremely disgusting guy."
Xuan Hao glanced around, then sneered veiledly, "They ignore people all the time, but the moment someone succeeds through their own abilities and brings honor to the world, they immediately rush out to take credit and shamelessly say, 'Oh, it's all thanks to our excellent training!'"
"But what happens when they get into trouble or get into problems outside and need someone to rely on?
These people instantly change their tune, immediately jumping out to issue a statement disclaiming all responsibility and saying:
'This is purely a personal matter and has nothing to do with us!'
They're truly ungrateful wretches!"
Xuan Hao shrugged, looked at Ning Rongrong and the others behind him, and asked knowingly, "You all be the judge, don't you think this kind of guy who takes all the benefits and shirks all the responsibility... is particularly disgusting?"
Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the others suppressed their laughter and nodded repeatedly in perfect cooperation.
"So," Xuan Hao turned his gaze back to Yu Yuanzhen, whose face had turned from blue to purple and who was trembling with rage, shrugged, and said with extreme contempt, "what I hate most is dealing with these brainless and selfish people. Because I really don't want to bother with them…"
"nausea."
"you--!"
Yu Yuanzhen was instantly stung by the word "disgusting," his eyes widened, and the terrifying thunderous pressure of a level 95 Title Douluo instantly went out of control, bursting out from him!
His withered hands clenched tightly, the knuckles cracking so hard it made your teeth ache, as if he were about to tear the arrogant young man in front of him to shreds at any moment.
However, just as Yu Yuanzhen was about to go berserk and launch an attack!
Gu Rong and Dugu Bo, who had been following behind Xuan Hao, took a step forward almost at the same time.
"Buzz—!"
A ghostly green, highly poisonous soul force and a deep, dark bone dragon's oppressive aura stood like two mountains, firmly resisting Yu Yuanzhen's thunderous momentum.
The two titled Douluo narrowed their eyes simultaneously, staring at him with extremely dangerous gazes, their meaning all too clear: Try moving and see what happens.
Seeing this extremely protective and luxurious lineup, Yu Yuanzhen shuddered, and the evil fire that was about to rise to the top of his head was ultimately swallowed back down.
"snort!"
Yu Yuan was furious but laughed instead. He gave Xuan Hao a deep look, his eyes seeming as if he wanted to devour him alive.
Then, he suddenly flicked his sleeve, transforming into a streak of blue light that shot into the sky.
He didn't even bother to leave a word and simply turned and left.
With Yu Yuanzhen gone, Yu Luomian, who was standing not far away, had no choice but to bite the bullet and take over.
Yu Luomian took a deep breath, forcibly calming his wildly beating heart, and didn't waste another word.
He simply walked quickly to Xuan Hao and the others with a stern face, made a "please" gesture, and then led the way without saying a word.
Xuan Hao knew when to stop and didn't continue his sarcastic remarks.
The saying goes, "To kill someone, you must first break their spirit." It's all about timing.
But if you really push these old dragons, who value their reputation above all else, to the point of mutual destruction, then things will get out of hand.
Thus, under the personal guidance of the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Xuan Hao led a large group of people and swaggered towards the legendary "Meteor Dragon Forbidden Land".
Thanks to Xuan Hao's unreasonable demands, Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, and others were given the unprecedented opportunity to visit the core forbidden area of the number one sect in the world.
For Ning Fengzhi and the others, it was all the same whether they were watching or not; they were herding one sheep or a whole flock. Since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had already compromised, they naturally wouldn't care about a few more people going in.
In fact, for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, this so-called "Forbidden Land of the Fallen Dragon" is more of a spiritual symbol and a family totem in ordinary times.
This is just like the lofty "Douluo Hall" of the Spirit Hall.
No matter how sacred and inviolable it is described, in essence, it is just a large tomb that buries the sages and titled Douluo of all ages.
When there's nothing else to do, that place is a sacred site that the entire clan worships; but in the end, it's just a grave.
However, this forbidden area of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is quite special—it is not only the tomb of the successive clan leaders, but also the tomb of that ancient true dragon.
The group followed Yu Luomian, traversing the rugged mountains of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After crossing several steep peaks, a series of low, rumbling thunderclaps began to echo in their ears.
Finally, Yu Luomian, who was walking at the front, stopped.
What came into view was a vast valley that was extremely open, yet shrouded in thick clouds and lightning all year round.
The valley is filled with jagged rocks and sparse vegetation.
The towering rock surfaces were covered with deep, charred marks, as if cleaved by knives and axes.
Extremely violent lightning elements roamed in the air, and even breathing could produce a slight tingling sensation.
These breathtaking scenes are clearly not the work of nature, but rather the result of being struck by violent lightning over many years!
Looking at the eerie and terrifying scene before her, with its raging thunder, Xiao Wu, standing beside Xuan Hao, shrank back.
Unable to contain herself any longer, she blurted out in an extremely innocent yet soul-searching tone:
"Um...don't they worry that their ancestors might get struck by lightning one day if they bury them in a place where it thunders all year round?"
Upon hearing this, the air at the entrance to the valley instantly became eerily quiet.
Yu Luomian, who was walking in front, stumbled and almost fell headfirst into the minefield.
His old face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Xuan Hao, Ning Rongrong, and the others following behind all changed their expressions, their faces turning red as they tried to suppress their laughter.
They wanted to laugh but dared not, and could only desperately hold it in.
This statement sounds reasonable, and is even extremely logical on a physical level...
But this is just too unethical!
