Chapter 118: Yu Yuanzhen, the False Corpse_2

```

"I agree."

"I also agree."

"...."

One voice after another arose, making Yu Xiaogang's complexion turn very unsightly.

Yu Luomian said sternly, "Withdraw."

In his voice, imbued with Soul Power, overpowered everyone else's, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Thud, thud, thud, thud.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded as numerous Sect Disciples hastened to leave.

After a moment.

Only Yu Luomian and Yu Xiaogang remained in the area.

Thud, thud, thud.

Yu Luomian advanced step by step, his footsteps echoing clearly in Yu Xiaogang's ears.

Gulp.

Looking at the solemn-faced Yu Luomian, Yu Xiaogang swallowed hard.

What was he planning to do? Surely he wasn't about to send me to meet my father, big brother, Yu Tianheng?

"Se, Second Uncle... "

"I think I might've gotten a bit carried away just now, said some things I shouldn't have, can you forgive me?"

Yu Xiaogang said with a strong desire to survive.

However, Yu Luomian simply ignored him.

He came to Yu Yuanzhen's coffin, knelt down, and remained silent.

What's this about? Confession first and then moving against me? Yu Xiaogang felt this was a very likely possibility, "Second Uncle, please, calm down, impulsive is the devil. Second Uncle, I know my fault."

"Xiaogang, you've indeed made a mistake."

Suddenly, a faint voice echoed in the great hall.

Yu Xiaogang was startled and then his eyes revealed a look of horror.

He was sure it wasn't Yu Luomian's voice, but besides him and Yu Luomian, there was no one else in the room, right?

"Stop looking, it's me."

Yu Xiaogang raised his head again upon hearing the voice close to his ear, only to see Yu Yuanzhen's pale face emerging from inside the coffin, staring right at him.

"Oh God."

"He's playing dead."

Yu Xiaogang was first taken aback, then looked utterly terrified.

And with all his strength, he scrambled backward with both hands and feet, all the while muttering, "Father, I, I'm doing fine. Don't worry about me, you rest in peace..."

But.

His prayers were useless; Yu Yuanzhen still climbed out of the coffin.

"It's over..."

Yu Xiaogang completely broke down, feeling warmth in his groin area.

In fact, he had lost control and wet himself...

"A trash will always be a trash, even after so many years, a useless young trash has just become an old one."

Yu Yuanzhen's voice was faint, with a feeble quality, but the frustration and anger of disappointment were undeniable.

"Big brother, you're not dead, that's truly wonderful."

At this moment, Yu Luomian's voice rang out, filled with surprise.

He had heard Yu Yuanzhen's secret message, which was why he made up an excuse to dismiss the surrounding disciples of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan.

The reason was to prevent unnecessary panic.

Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen had told Yu Luomian, besides him and Yu Xiaogang, he didn't want anyone else to know he was still alive.

Upon hearing the voice, Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Luomian, whose expression was complex, "Second brother, rise."

After standing up, Yu Luomian asked, full of confusion, "Big brother, was all this part of your plan, pretending to be dead?"

"Pretending?"

Hearing Yu Luomian's words, Yu Yuanzhen's face showed a bitter smile, "Second brother, do you think if I were pretending to be dead, I could fool Qin Xiao? I was actually dead just now, only somehow, I came back to life."

"Coming back to life, isn't that a bit too miraculous?"

Yu Luomian's mouth was agape, his face filled with disbelief.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he would have thought he was in a fairy tale.

Meanwhile, Yu Yuanzhen had already turned around, pointing in a direction, "In that direction, I feel something calling to me."

"That direction..."

Yu Luomian's face showed a pondering expression, but it quickly turned into shock, "That's the location of True Dragon Mountain and the Nine Mountains. Could the legend about the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan be true?"

"Nine dragons, each perched on a mountain. Each mountain crowned, and all nine unite."

This mnemonic surfaced unbidden in Yu Yuanzhen's mind.

"Perhaps, the legend isn't just a legend, but fact?"

"No matter what, I must see for myself."

The determination in Yu Yuanzhen's voice was unmistakable.

Yu Luomian heard the intent to leave in Yu Yuanzhen's words and quickly said, "Elder brother, the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan still needs you to be in charge."

But Yu Yuanzhen just shook his head, "Second brother, you're wrong. My era has passed. The Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan needs a new leader, and you're more suitable than I am."

"I..." Yu Luomian's mouth opened to say something, but Yu Yuanzhen interrupted him.

"Second brother, listen to me. There's a serious problem with my body now, I can't store much Soul Power at all. If I can't uncover the secret within the nine mountains of the true dragon, I'll die before long. Taking the risk now gives me a chance at survival."

"Moreover, considering Qin Xiao's immense strength, if he knew I weren't dead and attacked again, it would be the true catastrophe for our Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, which is all the more reason why I mustn't show myself."

Once Yu Yuanzhen had finished speaking, his lips were filled with bitterness.

Once upon a time, he was the leader of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, a level-95 Titled Douluo; how prestigious was that?

Frankly speaking, he was one of those powerful beings who, with a single stomp, could make the entire Soul Land tremble, a great figure revered by countless Soul Masters.

Now, he was like a lonely ghost.

"Elder brother, I understand," Yu Luomian said.

Yu Luomian also thought of the problem mentioned by Yu Yuanzhen.

The saying goes, when a person dies, their debts are forgiven, but if a person doesn't die, must they continue to pay their debts?

Even thinking with one's toes would reveal that if Qin Xiao attacked again, the ferocity would only intensify.

After some thought, Yu Yuanzhen added, "There's one more thing. It's a bit awkward to say, but only you can do it."

Without any hesitation, Yu Luomian said, "Elder brother, just give me the order. If it's within my power, I will do everything I can. To go through fire and water, to face death without fear for the sake of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan."

"Second brother, don't talk like that, it's not that serious."

Yu Yuanzhen rubbed his hands, "I heard from that unfilial son Yu Xiaogang, about your daughter Er Long's relationship with Qin Xiao. I think you can use Er Long to learn about Qin Xiao's movements and get detailed information. Such a monstrous person, where exactly does he come from?"

"This..."

Yu Luomian appeared somewhat uneasy, but seeing the look of expectation on Yu Yuanzhen's face, he couldn't bear to refuse and awkwardly nodded, "I'll try my best."

"Good."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded, then heavily patted Yu Luomian's shoulder, "If I return, I will fear no one. If I don't... consider that I'm dead, and I hope that under your leadership, the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon will continue."

Yu Luomian nodded solemnly, "Take care."

Yu Yuanzhen dropped his hand and turned to look at the dumbstruck Yu Xiaogang, "Useless waste, if you're not dead, get up and come with me to the clan's forbidden area. Perhaps you, too, might have a chance at life."

"I am truly done with you. Even though I am your father, why does it seem like you are acting more like mine? I really don't know how you've been getting by these years; not only did you not cure your crappy condition, but you nearly killed yourself."

He was truly exasperated for Yu Xiaogang.

...

Half a day later.

Tiandou City.

Blue Tyrant Academy.

Qin Xiao pushed open the door and entered his residence.

Immediately, Ah Yin, dressed in a green gauze skirt, appeared before Qin Xiao.

"Ah Yin, what are you doing here?"

"I told President Liu I am your servant girl, so she arranged this place for me."

Ah Yin answered as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

It seemed, indeed, quite reasonable. Qin Xiao nodded.

"Master, you seem very tired. Should Ah Yin help you relax?" Ah Yin noticed something off about Qin Xiao.

The back and forth travel, as well as the battle with the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, had taken quite a toll on Qin Xiao.

To say he wasn't tired would be a lie.

"Relax a bit?"

Qin Xiao was startled and looked Ah Yin up and down a few times.

It seemed he had no reason to refuse, did he?

So, he nodded, "Alright."

To make the story more exciting, I've used some comic settings. It feels like the comic adaptation's Yu Yuanzhen fits the strength of the upper three families
