Chapter 163 Yu Luomian Entrusts an Orphan_2

Yu Tianxin merely smiled slightly, appearing very modest.

Seeing this, Yu Luomian dispensed with further pleasantries and instructed in a grave tone, "I came to tell you not to leave the sect for now. Tiandou and Xingluo are not very safe."

What did this mean? Had their family truly reached a life-or-death moment? A thought crossed Yu Tianxin's mind, and he couldn't help asking, "Is it because of the rumors within the family? Have we really provoked someone we shouldn't have?"

"Indeed, we have offended someone untouchable. Your great-uncle, your elder uncle, as well as Yu Tianheng's death, are all related to this matter. Our Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Family has reached an unprecedented low," said Yu Luomian, with a sigh welling up in his heart.

Yu Tianxin grew even more silent after hearing this.

He couldn't imagine the pressure that the mysterious and powerful enemy had brought upon his grandfather, the former Second Master, now the patriarch of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan.

A moment passed.

A forced smile appeared on Yu Luomian's pale face, "But don't worry too much; I have already negotiated with him. As long as we do one thing for him, maybe we can turn hostility into a chance for peace."

He lied,

But, to keep the disciples of the sect stable, he had no other choice.

"Really?"

A trace of joy flashed across Yu Tianxin's face.

"Yes," Yu Luomian replied, nodding heavily, his heart filled with bitterness.

Not to mention whether it was true, this was not necessarily a happy matter.

After all, too many people from the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Family had already died at the hands of Qin Xiao. Now, seeking a slim chance of survival, disciples of their family would be risking their lives for him.

How could this be justified?

"Then, may I know what it is we must do?" Yu Tianxin asked curiously.

Silent for a moment, Yu Luomian said gravely, "To exterminate the Star Luo Royal Family."

"Exterminate who?!"

"Grandfather, who did you say we must exterminate?" Yu Tianxin thought he had misheard and asked again.

"The Star Luo Royal Family." Yu Luomian's reply was resoundingly firm.

"Hiss..."

Yu Tianxin was sure he had not misheard; his grandfather was truly mad. To think of exterminating the Star Luo Royal Family in exchange for forgiveness from that mysterious powerhouse.

"Grandfather, this will undoubtedly result in mutual destruction," Yu Tianxin said very tactfully. In fact, in his heart, he believed it was an impossible venture.

The former Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan might have had some hope, but now, how could they even consider fighting?

"Even if the royal household's number of powerhouses is similar to ours, they have the Hao Tian Clan backing them up."

"That's the number one sect among the upper three families, not something we can contend with now."

As one of the legitimate disciples of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Family, Yu Tianxin was all too aware of the immense force that lay behind an empire.

The Hao Tian Clan might as well be turned to dust by now. Otherwise, not just now, even at their peak, the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan was not their match... Yu Luomian murmured to himself upon hearing this.

"I have two pieces of news to tell you," he said.

Yu Luomian felt it was time to share some truths with Yu Tianxin, "First, the Hao Tian Clan has been wiped out by Qin Xiao, who is also responsible for the heavy losses suffered by our Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Family."

"What? The Hao Tian Clan is gone?" Yu Tianxin felt like he had been struck by lightning, disbelief painted all over his face.

It was also the first time he learned the name of the mysterious powerhouse: Qin Xiao.

"The second matter is that a majority of the Star Luo Royal Family's powerhouses have been killed off. We shouldn't find it too difficult to deal with them now, especially since we have the advantage of a calculated surprise..."

The second piece of news left Yu Tianxin even more shaken.

"This Qin Xiao is simply the nemesis of all major forces."

His mind went blank for a long while before he managed to utter this sentence.

"Exactly, a nemesis," Yu Luomian confirmed.

"If we cannot reconcile with him, I truly don't know what hopeless path lies ahead for the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Family."

"Even if I have to bear the infamy, I am willing to do so. I, Yu Luomian, might not be able to lead the family to prosperity and glory, but I will not let the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon go extinct on my watch," he said, his voice filled with complexity.

Who wouldn't wish to be renowned through the ages, to have their great deeds for their family be remembered and sung by future generations?

But they had no choice when faced with a situation more powerful than themselves.

"Grandfather, I understand you," Yu Tianxin said solemnly.

"You are the hope of our sect, and the safest place for you is within the family. And if anything happens to me..."

Yu Luomian gave Yu Tianxin a deep look before continuing, "Go to your aunt, no matter what, convince her to take control of the family."

"Grandfather, rest assured, I will not let you down..."

"Uh, find Auntie?"

Yu Tianxin had just started to raise an impassioned argument when he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

What was Yu Luomian saying?

He wasn't planning to leave the sect to me, but instead, he wanted me to find my aunt, that Liu Erlong.

Yu Luomian nodded, "Yes, your aunt. The one who opened an academy in Tiandou City, remember to show respect when you meet her."

It really was her!

Yu Tianxin was stunned.

He simply couldn't imagine how Yu Luomian could even think of passing the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan onto a bastard child!

Why her?

Does she deserve it?

I, Yu Tianxin, am the rightful heir to the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan!

There was no doubt that Yu Tianxin was resentful.

Of course.

Regardless of how dissatisfied he felt inside, he wouldn't show it outwardly.

In other words, he concealed it very well.

"Grandfather, rest assured, if anything untoward happens to you, I will definitely find my aunt and take charge," Yu Tianxin said, his eyes reddening as though tears might spill out at any moment.

"Don't worry, under my plan, there should be no danger to me. The Star Luo Royal Family is nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs," Yu Luomian laughed heartily, patting Yu Tianxin on the shoulder, "You may go now."

"Yes."

Yu Tianxin replied respectfully and turned to leave.

However.

No sooner had his footsteps faded than Yu Luomian's door was violently kicked open.

Yes.

Kicked open.

When Yu Luomian saw who had kicked in the door, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes,

His expression turned dark and ominous.

His voice was equally icy, "Yu Xiaogang, are you courting death?"

In contrast, Yu Xiaogang showed no fear at all, pointing at Yu Luomian's nose, he cursed: "Even if it means death, I will expose you for what you are, a coward, a hypocrite, an ungrateful traitor. How you sold out the sect for the sake of clinging to life."

Yu Xiaogang's anger was hard to quell.

When Yu Luomian had suggested Liu Erlong's approach, he was the first to voice his objection.

Cozy up to Qin Xiao, beg for mercy?

What a joke!

His father, his older brother, his nephew, they all died at Qin Xiao's hands.

And it has left him thoroughly incapacitated, a complete cripple.

Yu Xiaogang would never agree to Yu Luomian's plans, not even in death.

Yu Luomian asked again in a deep voice, "Do you understand what the outcome would be if we fought Qin Xiao to the death?"

"What outcome?"

Yu Xiaogang paused.

Of course, he knew the outcome. It would mean the annihilation and failure of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan.

And with failure, naturally, came the destruction of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan.

But.

Did he care?

Not to mention killing Qin Xiao, even if he could bite off a piece of flesh from Qin Xiao, he thought it would be worth it.

"I certainly know what the outcome will be!"

"But the disciples of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan are not without spine, are we?"

"Even if it means spilling our last drop of blood, we must fight Qin Xiao to the end." Yu Xiaogang said with righteous indignation, "The sect can be rebuilt if it falls, but if we lose our backbone, the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan will never be able to stand tall again."

After listening to Yu Xiaogang, Yu Luomian was silent for a moment before he spoke solemnly, "No, that will never happen. Sometimes, staying alive is the most important thing, no matter how you live. We must survive first and talk about everything else later...."

"And I won't let the people of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan bend their backs. When the time comes, all the shame will be carried by me, Yu Luomian, alone! I, Yu Luomian, may feel guilty to my brother and my clan members, but I certainly don't feel guilty to myself!"

His voice rang with a firm resolve.
