Chapter 117 Yu Xiaogang: My Chieftain Father_2

Someone had discovered Yu Xiaogang and coldly interrogated him.

Even disciples from the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan blocked Yu Xiaogang's path.

"Make way, let him come over; he's the son of the elder brother, Yu Xiaogang."

In front of the Sect Main Hall, Yu Luomian's voice spread forth.

He didn't recognize the aged Yu Xiaogang, but he did recognize the pig-like Luo Sanpao.

In the present situation, even if his heart harbored many doubts, he couldn't voice them.

Moreover,

Because of Liu Erlong's affairs, he loathed Yu Xiaogang from the bottom of his heart and had no desire to concern himself with whatever was happening to Yu Xiaogang.

If not for Yu Yuanzhen lying dead here, he would have left long ago.

Yu Xiaogang, a man who defied moral norms and decency, disgusted him with every additional glance.

Thud, thud, thud.

The sect disciples stepped aside, and Yu Xiaogang slowly approached Yu Luomian.

And, steeling himself, he muttered, "Uncle."

Yu Luomian nodded expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang didn't bother trying to awkwardly engage in further pleasantries but instead directly asked, "Uncle, where's my father? I heard from the guards at the mountain gate that he was here."

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but begin to search.

Yet, he still hadn't caught a glimpse of Yu Yuanzhen.

"Could it be that Father still refuses to forgive me for the foolish mistakes I made when I was young and impetuous?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned and asked.

"Elder brother is right here, but he can't come out to see you; you can only go see him,"

Yu Luomian stated blandly.

"What?"

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback.

Yu Luomian cast a glance at Yu Xiaogang and said, "Do you see it? That coffin in the center—the one lying inside is elder brother."

"Un, Uncle, you, you, you're saying my father, he's dead?"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

He had imagined many possibilities, but never this one.

"Humph, do you think I'm someone who jokes around? The truth of the matter will be clear once you see for yourself,"

Yu Luomian looked coldly at Yu Xiaogang, "Don't tell me you don't even have the strength for that."

"I..."

Yu Xiaogang's mouth opened, but he was at a loss for words.

"Trash will always be trash, and a lump of mud will never cling to a wall."

Yu Luomian scorned coldly, without another word, grabbed Yu Xiaogang, and brought him to the coffin in the center.

He then pressed Yu Xiaogang's head down for a look.

Yu Xiaogang saw Yu Yuanzhen lying peacefully in the coffin, devoid of any sign of life.

"Boom!"

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang felt as though he had been struck by thunder.

It felt like the sky was collapsing.

"How could this be? How could things have come to this?"

"Father, I ultimately came back too late and didn't get to see you for the last time,"

Yu Xiaogang's heart was filled with sorrow.

Of course, part of this sorrow was for Yu Yuanzhen, but more of it was for himself.

He had finally made up his mind, forsaking all pride to return to the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan—wasn't it all to seek help?

But who could help him now?

"How could things have come to this?"

"I clearly saw the sky above the family estates heavy with thunderclouds—a powerful force that only Father could control."

His sadness rendered him incoherent.

"What did you say?"

Suddenly, Yu Luomian said coldly, "Repeat what you just said."

Yu Xiaogang subconsciously repeated, "I said, how could this be? I clearly saw the sky above the family estates heavy with thunderclouds—a powerful force that only Father could control."

Slap.

No sooner had Yu Xiaogang finished speaking than Yu Luomian backhanded him with a sharp slap across his face.

Splat.

Yu Xiaogang spat out a mouthful of blood, and even two of his teeth could be seen.

"Uncle, why did you hit me?"

With no control over his speech, Yu Xiaogang's words whistled through the gaps in his teeth.

However, even so, he did not forget to ask Yu Luomian why.

Yu Luomian said viciously, "I was hitting you, the man who recognizes a thief as his father."

"Me? Recognizing a thief as my father?"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned, he looked again at the coffin holding Yu Yuanzhen, his heart full of confusion.

Could it be that I'm not actually the biological child of Yu Yuanzhen? If that's the case, it feels quite possible. Otherwise, as a direct disciple of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, how could my innate Soul Power be so low, and how could I have a trash Martial Soul like Luo Sanpao?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

But, the next moment, what met him was another slap in the face.

"Yu Xiaogang, wake up!"

Yu Luomian scolded, exasperated, "Do you know who killed your elder brother? It was the controller of those rampant thunders! Tell me, isn't what you just said recognizing a thief as your father? Was I wrong to hit you?"

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

Yu Xiaogang said in shock, "How could there be a thunder attribute Martial Soul stronger than the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Martial Soul in Soul Land? And, furthermore, someone who could let my father meet such an end, what level of horror must their Cultivation Level reach?"

"Isn't the reality right in front of you? What else is impossible?"

Yu Luomian gave a cold smile, "Yu Xiaogang, stop measuring the powerhouses of Soul Land with your pitiful knowledge. The world of the strong is too deep to grasp just by reading 'The Records of Heaven' and learning a bit of theoretical knowledge, understand?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded blankly.

Suddenly, he remembered someone, "Where is my big brother, Yu Xiaofeng? Where is he?"

"Could it be that he was too grieved by our father's death and fainted?"

He remembered before leaving the sect, Yu Yuanzhen had the idea of grooming Yu Xiaofeng.

Counting the time, he should have reached the position of the clan's acting patriarch by now.

"Do you see the coffin on your left?"

Yu Luomian suddenly asked.

Turning to Yu Xiaogang after hearing Yu Luomian's words, his heart skipped a beat and he asked with a trembling voice, "Uncle, you don't mean to say... this... belongs to my big brother?"

Yu Xiaogang found this outcome difficult to accept.

Yu Luomian sighed deeply, "Xiaofeng met an even worse fate; not even his whole corpse could be left behind, we could only make a cenotaph for him."

"Ah!"

"This!"

Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth but no longer knew what to say.

Yu Luomian felt as if Yu Xiaogang had all his strength drained from him, watching him slide slowly to the ground along Yu Yuanzhen's coffin.

"Big brother, why did you also go..."

"How am I supposed to live now."

He wept.

Now, there was not a single hope or thought left.

For a long, long time.

In the Sect Main Hall, Yu Xiaogang's crying gradually subsided.

"Big brother, don't worry, even if it takes everything I have, I will make sure Tianheng succeeds..."

"Tianheng has great talent, and he can at least become a Title Douluo of the Ninety-Fifth Rank, perhaps even higher!"

"He will definitely avenge our enemies someday!"

Yu Xiaogang knelt between the coffins of Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiaofeng, swearing to the heavens and earth.

"I have to interrupt you for a moment."

After listening to Yu Luomian, Yu Xiaogang furrowed his brows and asked in return, "Uncle, there's no need to persuade me, I understand all the principles. Tianheng is still a child and shouldn't bear such heavy pressure, right?"

"But you must understand, sometimes pressure is also motivation. I believe today's tragedy will become the force that drives Tianheng forward in the future. He might even break through his own limits because of it..."

"Yu Xiaogang, enough!"

Suddenly, Yu Luomian roared, "With everything that's already happened, how can you still be lost in your own world? Wake up! I'm telling you now, the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan has lost the Twin Stars."

Yu Xiaogang was stunned, then tried to persuade him, "Uncle, make yourself clear, don't tell me Tianxin, he also..."

"Go away!"

"Tianxin is doing well, eating well, sleeping well, and training very hard; couldn't be better."

Yu Luomian said angrily, "I want you to wake up."

With that, he pointed towards the last coffin.

"Drop those unrealistic ideas, see? The last one is Tianheng, he's also dead."

"Tian, Tianheng he..."

"How could, how could he be dead."

Yu Xiaogang collapsed.

"The reality is before your eyes."

"Today, just in time to see them for the last time. After so many years, the four people of elder brother's lineage, counting you, finally together."

Yu Luomian's voice also carried a hint of sorrow, "If he were alive to see this scene, how happy he would be."
