Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Handling the Aftermath, Gifting the Bones
After sitting on the ground for a while, Ning Fengzhi finally managed to get up with difficulty, leaning on his cane, and sat back in his chair.
Looking in the direction Xiao Yu had left, his face was filled with regret.
"I never expected Xiao Yu to be so sharp at such a young age!! His actions are flawless. Not only did he see through my hesitation, but he also decisively forced me to take a side."
"Sigh, Fengzhi, I told you earlier to help as soon as possible. But you were blinded by the temporary advantages of the Clear Sky Sect!"
The Sword Douluo, understanding why Xiao Yu had sent him and the Bone Douluo to pursue Tang Xiao, looked at Ning Fengzhi with a mix of frustration and helplessness.
Ning Fengzhi’s face was filled with bitterness.
"Sigh, Uncle Sword, I didn’t want this either. The pressure from Tang Chen was too great. I had to consider the survival of our clan. And how could I have guessed that Xiao Yu, at such a young age, after just two years of seclusion, would become so powerful that he could toy with the mighty Clear Sky Douluo like a ball?!"
Ning Fengzhi had tried to play both sides, but before he could succeed, he had offended both.
Before he could show goodwill to the Clear Sky Sect, Xiao Yu’s overwhelming appearance had dashed his plans.
"Fengzhi, what do you plan to do next?"
"You two go. I’ll have the clan’s Soul Douluo protect me. Xiao Yu said he’d send Dugu Bo, so he should arrive soon. I don’t want to give Xiao Yu any more reasons to be dissatisfied. He’s already unhappy with our inaction.
For now, let’s follow Xiao Yu’s instructions. If we defy him again, he might destroy our clan."
Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly.
He no longer had the luxury of choice.
Although Rongrong was by Xiao Yu’s side, Xiao Yu wouldn’t listen to her. Instead, Rongrong would blindly trust Xiao Yu.
Moreover, based on Ning Fengzhi’s understanding of Xiao Yu, Rongrong’s life might not be easy in the coming days.
After all, Xiao Yu wasn’t short of women.
Without Rongrong, he still had six or seven women in the Blue Tyrant Academy.
And with his current strength, even the Spirit Hall’s Holy Maiden, Bibi Dong, might consider sending her daughter to marry Xiao Yu.
For a powerhouse like Xiao Yu, women were now easily attainable.
"Sigh."
Hearing this, the Sword and Bone Douluo sighed and then transformed into streams of light, pursuing Tang Xiao’s escape route.
With their strength, dealing with a severely weakened Tang Xiao wouldn’t be a problem.
Whether they could capture him depended on how desperate Tang Xiao was.
Meanwhile, after kicking Tang Hao back to the Blue Tyrant Academy, Xiao Yu didn’t have time to catch up with everyone. Instead, he first instructed Dugu Bo to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to keep an eye on Ning Fengzhi.
Dugu Bo, understanding Xiao Yu’s intentions, immediately left.
Then, Xiao Yu turned to Tang Hao, who was now completely powerless.
"Xiao Yu, you brat, I, the mighty Clear Sky—"
"Slash!!"
"Slash!!"
"Ah!!!!"
Soon, two more cutting sounds were heard as Xiao Yu severed Tang Hao’s legs.
Now, without arms or legs, Tang Hao’s eyes rolled back, and he passed out from the overwhelming pain.
Blood gushed from Tang Hao’s severed limbs like a small stream.
Xiao Yu had Liu Erlong cauterize Tang Hao’s wounds to stop the bleeding, then turned to Teacher Yin Shu.
"Teacher Yin Shu, hang Tang Hao at the academy gate. Notify the Clear Sky Sect that if they want his body back, they’ll have to pay a ransom!"
Xiao Yu dispersed his spirit avatar and recalled Wo Long.
Although it was only for a brief moment, everyone present saw Xiao Yu’s nine blood-red soul rings.
"Understood."
Yin Shu didn’t hesitate and immediately carried out the order.
The scene had been deeply etched into his memory.
Watching Yin Shu leave, Xiao Yu examined Tang Hao’s limbs and extracted four spirit bones.
Two were the Clear Sky Sect’s inherited spirit bones, and two were ones Tang Hao had acquired himself.
After a quick glance, Xiao Yu handed them to Liu Erlong for safekeeping, planning to distribute them later as needed.
After handling everything, Yu Luoming approached with a complex expression, sighing.
"Xiao Yu, although you’ve avenged us today, what about Tang Chen..."
Xiao Yu understood Yu Luoming’s concern and replied directly.
"Don’t worry, Grandmaster. Tang Chen is no longer a concern for me. If the Clear Sky Sect doesn’t pay the ransom, I’ll personally take Tang Hao’s broken body as a gift to the Clear Sky Sect at the beginning of next month and help you and the clan leader reclaim our honor!"
"Xiao Yu, have you already..."
Hearing this, Yu Luoming’s expression turned excited.
But what Xiao Yu said next made his eyes widen even further.
"Grandmaster, some things are better left unsaid. Also, here are two things I found for you and the clan leader in the Dragon Valley. Both are 100,000-year wind-attribute dragon spirit bones. Although your spirit is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the lightning and wind attributes can complement each other. I think they’ll suit you."
Seeing the two 100,000-year spirit bones Xiao Yu handed him, Yu Luoming’s excitement grew.
100,000-year spirit bones! Such rare treasures, and Xiao Yu had just casually given them to him?!
And now, he was about to possess a second 100,000-year spirit bone?!
After a brief conversation, Yu Luoming quickly returned to his clan to report the good news.
With Xiao Yu’s return and his overwhelming display of power, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family no longer needed to fear Tang Chen!
They wouldn’t return the Moon Pavilion’s shares. Let Tang Chen try something!
If it came to a fight, so be it!
Now, Yu Luoming and his brother needed to focus on improving their strength before the beginning of next month, so they could stand behind Xiao Yu when he confronted the Clear Sky Sect.
"Teacher Erlong, you’ve worked hard..."
After handling everything, Xiao Yu gently embraced Liu Erlong, who bore some injuries, his face filled with tenderness and concern.
"Hmph, you brat. You finally came back. I almost died. If you’d been any later, you’d be attending my funeral instead of hugging me."
Liu Erlong leaned her head on Xiao Yu’s shoulder, her voice filled with grievance.
