Chapter 20: Public Execution of Yu Xiaogang—There Are No Useless Martial Spirits, Only Useless Soul Masters?

The Clear Sky Clan, once the top of the Three Sects, was undoubtedly powerful! If the Clear Sky Clan's strength was no match for the Spirit Hall, then they should not have been expected to support the other sects against the Spirit Hall's attack.

However, the key issue was that despite having the capability to fight back against the Spirit Hall's assault, the Clear Sky Clan chose not to confront them directly but opted for avoidance. This decision led to the betrayal of the four major clans and numerous affiliated forces.

Among them, the four major clans managed to survive, albeit heavily damaged, but many of the smaller affiliated forces were utterly annihilated. This was a true tragedy!

[Yang Wudi (Leader of the Po Clan) (coldly): The Clear Sky Clan? Just a useless sect that couldn't even protect its disciples, and now they've sold out their people. Although our four major clans suffered greatly, at least we now see the true face of the Clear Sky Clan. That's not entirely a bad thing.]

[Niu Gao: Hmph, exactly!]

The four major clans, still struggling to recover from the losses inflicted by the Clear Sky Clan, harbored deep resentment. Their feelings were divided when it came to Tang Hao, though.

The Titan of the Li Clan believed that Tang Hao was not at fault. Even though it was known that Tang Hao's actions had provoked the Spirit Hall and led to the attack on the Clear Sky Clan, causing trouble for the four major clans, Titan felt that no matter what, the Clear Sky Clan should have defended Tang Hao rather than abandoning him.

Thus, Titan's resentment was directed at the Clear Sky Clan rather than Tang Hao.

Similarly, Bai He of the Min Clan, whose sister was Tang Hao's mother, could not harbor hatred towards Tang Hao. Thus, their anger was also aimed at the Clear Sky Clan.

The Yu Clan and Po Clan had previously been equally resentful towards both Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Clan. But learning that Tang Hao had been betrayed by the Clear Sky Clan and that his subsequent suffering was a result of this betrayal, they began to feel a sense of sympathy towards him. Their anger was now focused solely on the Clear Sky Clan.

However, seeing Tang Hao still defending the Clear Sky Clan angered Niu Gao and Yang Wudi, who felt he was hopelessly misguided. Nevertheless, this frustration was different from their previous deep-seated hatred.

From the perspective of the four major clans, the Clear Sky Clan still possessed the strength to fight the Spirit Hall (though in reality, the Spirit Hall had not used their full power against the Clear Sky Clan). The Clear Sky Clan had chosen to abandon their allies and focus solely on preserving their strength.

This abandonment of their subordinates led to significant anger and disappointment among those who had helped the Clear Sky Clan.

[Lin Yu (scoffing): Yu Xiaogang, you piece of trash, get lost! I haven't even started on your dark history, and you dare to speak?]

In his previous life, Lin Yu had always been annoyed with Tang Hao. Now, while stirring up trouble between Tang Hao and A Yin, everything was going smoothly until Master Yu Xiaogang unexpectedly defended Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Clan.

Lin Yu saw both as undeserving and with his patience already worn thin, he decided to unleash a scathing attack on Yu Xiaogang, ignoring any pretenses.

Yu Xiaogang, stunned by the harsh criticism, was at a loss for words. Why was he being berated? He had merely expressed his opinion!

But after the initial shock, Yu Xiaogang felt a surge of anger and humiliation upon being called a useless fool, especially in front of so many people. His face flushed with rage, and as he struggled to contain his emotions, he ended up spitting blood and collapsing onto his bed.

Meanwhile, in the Blue Tyrant Academy in the Heaven Dou Imperial City, seeing the public mockery of Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong was furious but at a loss for how to defend him. Lin Yu had not simply ridiculed Yu Xiaogang but had also exposed a flawed theory that had ultimately backfired on him.

[Lin Yu: This trash is silent now, realizing his uselessness? He adamantly claimed that there are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters, yet he himself is a failure. How amusing! The Clear Sky Clan's guilt is clear, but since you cling to the idea that they're not at fault, today I will lay out the full story of what happened!]

The virtual screen displayed the scathing mockery of Yu Xiaogang's contradictory theory, and many people couldn't help but laugh.

If prominent figures like Ning Fengzhi had spoken, no one would have dared to interrupt. However, Yu Xiaogang was a lesser figure, and seeing him called a useless great soul master led to widespread ridicule from nobles and soul masters alike.

[Yu Xiaogang: You!!!]

In Notting City, at Notting Academy, Yu Xiaogang's face turned red with anger and shame as he watched the virtual screen. Unable to defend himself and overwhelmed by humiliation, he spat blood and fainted.

At the same time, in Shrek Academy in Soto City, Flanders struggled to hold back laughter as he watched Lin Yu's public execution of his brother, Yu Xiaogang. He had found the theory absurd from the start, and seeing it so thoroughly dismantled brought a sense of grim satisfaction.

However, he quickly reminded himself that Yu Xiaogang was still his brother and chastised himself for enjoying his brother's humiliation.

But Lin Yu had more to say.

[Lin Yu (disdainfully): This scum and useless piece of trash has nothing more to say, does he? He insisted there were no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters, yet he's the epitome of failure. How ironic! Now, since you insist the Clear Sky Clan is not the real culprit, I'll reveal the entire truth behind the events of that time!]
