Soul Land: Bibi Dong Is My Martial Soul-Chapter 189: Two of the Golden Iron Triangle Are Dead

Chapter 189: Two of the Golden Iron Triangle Are Dead

When Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender arrived at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the sight that greeted them was a sea of corpses—utterly horrifying.

"No..."

Liu Erlong let out a despairing scream. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed to her knees.

"No... this isn't possible..."

Yu Xiaogang stared at the devastation before him, face filled with disbelief.

"This is... too tragic..."

Flender, who had come along with them, couldn't bear to look directly at the scene. As one of the Three Upper Clans, he never imagined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could truly be wiped out.

Yu Xiaogang had been expelled from the clan, and Liu Erlong was just the illegitimate daughter of the clan leader's brother—neither of them were truly recognized members.

More importantly, neither Yu Xiaogang nor Liu Erlong possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul passed down by the clan.

Which meant that if there were no other survivors, then the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan really had been utterly annihilated.

"Xiaogang, Erlong! Now isn't the time to grieve."

"We should be checking for survivors!"

Flender quickly stepped in, trying to pull them out of their sorrow.

Reminded of their purpose, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong snapped back to their senses and immediately rushed into the clan grounds, frantically searching for anyone who might still be alive.

Even just one survivor would be something.

And they also needed to confirm—had the people they cared about truly all perished?

After a thorough search, the result was clear. Not a single soul had survived. The thousands of members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... were all dead.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes remained bloodshot. Liu Erlong was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"This is terrifying... just what kind of people could do something like this—wiping out an entire clan in such a short time?"

"There can't be many forces capable of that on the continent."

Flender tried to divert their grief by raising the question of the enemy.

"Other than Spirit Hall, there's no one else who could do this!"

Yu Xiaogang's mind sharpened at once. Through gritted teeth, he declared Spirit Hall the culprit.

No other force on the continent, not even the mighty Clear Sky Clan, could have pulled off an annihilation of this scale so quietly.

"It has to be Spirit Hall! I'm going to make them pay!"

Liu Erlong stood, trembling with rage. Now that the murderer had been identified, she was ready to march off and take vengeance.

But Yu Xiaogang and Flender immediately held her back.

"Erlong, stop! If we go charging into Spirit Hall now, it'll just be suicide!"

Yu Xiaogang snapped at her, forcing her to calm down.

"Then what do you want us to do? Spirit Hall is too strong—if we don't fight, what else can we do?"

Liu Erlong knew what Yu Xiaogang said was true. But knowing the strength of Spirit Hall only made her more desperate. Even if it cost her life, she wanted revenge.

"Calm down. Let me think. There must be another way!"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath.

"There's no way we can go up against Spirit Hall alone."

"So we'll need allies."

"The only ones strong enough to stand against Spirit Hall are the two great empires."

"But even individually, neither the Heaven Dou Empire nor the Star Luo Empire can face Spirit Hall alone. Only if the two empires unite can they hope to challenge Spirit Hall."

Yu Xiaogang laid out his analysis.

"But the two empires just went to war—they're not going to unite so easily," Flender countered.

"That is a problem... but not one without a solution. We just need to make them realize Spirit Hall's true ambition."

"Look at how Spirit Hall behaved during the last war. They didn't intervene at first—no attempts to mediate—until the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sided with the Star Luo Empire and the two empires reached a sort of balance."

"That's when Spirit Hall finally stepped in."

"It's clear. Spirit Hall didn't want the two empires to maintain that balance. A balance means caution, mutual restraint, and no total war."

"Spirit Hall doesn't want that!"

"That's why they stepped in, mediated the war, then immediately wiped out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan once their members returned home."

"If I'm right, Spirit Hall's next move will be to incite the two empires into war once again."

"They want both sides to tear each other apart. It doesn't matter who wins—Spirit Hall will swoop in to claim the ruins."

"It has to be this!"

"We need to inform the empires. They must understand Spirit Hall's sinister intentions!"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes gleamed with sharp insight. He had been confused at first about why Spirit Hall would target the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. But now, everything made sense.

That woman... she truly was a mastermind.

But that didn't make Yu Xiaogang admire her—in fact, he hated her even more.

If before he only harbored resentment for being cast aside, then now... it was hatred for killing his father, for wiping out his entire clan.

"I won't let that woman's plan succeed!"

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly and swore to himself.

But the idea of stopping the two great empires from fighting again—let alone getting them to unite against Spirit Hall—was clearly unrealistic.

After all, the Heaven Dou Empire was now under Qian Renxue's control.

Fortunately for Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong wasn't planning to restart the war just yet. If she incited battle again so soon after stepping in to stop it, Spirit Hall's authority would be questioned.

So Bibi Dong decided to wait for the right moment.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang made his way to the Heaven Dou Empire first.

Qian Renxue, familiar with his reputation and curious about the man himself, agreed to meet with him.

But she was ultimately disappointed.

Yu Xiaogang wasn't as brilliant as she'd imagined. Compared to Su Mo, she found Su Mo far superior.

Still, she had to admit Yu Xiaogang possessed a kind of rare insight.

For instance, he had completely seen through Spirit Hall's intentions.

Yu Xiaogang warned her not to fall for their schemes. He urged her not to resume war with the Star Luo Empire or else she'd be playing right into Spirit Hall's hands.

"I understand."

"I'll keep everything you said in mind. Thank you for your warning, Grandmaster."

Qian Renxue responded with polite dismissal.

There was no way she'd actually listen to him.

"Wonderful! Your Majesty's willingness to believe me is a great relief!"

"I will now head to the Star Luo Empire and deliver the same warning. Rest assured, I'll make them see the severity of the situation too!"

Thinking he had convinced Qian Renxue, Yu Xiaogang left joyfully. He still needed to speak with the Star Luo Emperor.

"...Should I just kill him right here and now?"

Watching Yu Xiaogang's departing back, Qian Renxue's eyes gleamed with an icy, cold light.

Ever since she learned about the matters between Yu Xiaogang and her mother, Qian Renxue had harbored not the slightest bit of goodwill toward him. After hearing of Yu Xiaogang's true nature from Bibi Dong, she had even wished to take matters into her own hands and eliminate him herself.

A man like that was unworthy of ever being cherished by her mother.

To make Yu Xiaogang disappear completely might finally help her mother regain clarity and stop obsessing over him.

"If Mother is going to annihilate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, she should wipe them out completely. If there are only one or two survivors left, I'll help Mother deal with them!"

Qian Renxue quickly made up her mind: it would be better to eliminate Yu Xiaogang directly.

...

"Flender, Erlong!"

"Everything went smoothly—the Qinghe Emperor has finally believed what I said!"

"Now we must hurry to the Star Luo Empire and inform them of the news!"

After leaving the imperial palace, Yu Xiaogang soon joined up with Flender and Liu Erlong. While delivering the good news, he also explained their next plan.

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Liu Erlong naturally broke into a smile at the news.

"If the Qinghe Emperor believes in Xiaogang, then that's excellent!"

"Then let us set off for the Star Luo Empire immediately!"

Flender was equally pleased and decided not to return to Shrek Academy right away, choosing instead to accompany Yu Xiaogang to the Star Luo Empire.

He couldn't bear the thought of Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong venturing off alone; if anything happened, at least with him there, no danger would be too great.

The three of them together could even stand against a Titled Douluo.

Thus, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender left the Heaven Dou Empire and set out for the Star Luo Empire.

But along the way, the trio was ambushed—attacked by two Titled Douluo.

After employing their spirit fusion technique, they could only struggle desperately; they simply couldn't fend off two Titled Douluo simultaneously.

"Spearmaster Douluo!"

"Bloodstain Douluo!"

"You two lackeys of Spirit Hall! How dare you, as Titled Douluo, attack us weaklings!"

While Flender was busy channeling soul power to Yu Xiaogang, enabling him to spearhead the Golden Saint Dragon attack, he also unleashed a torrent of curses at the Spearmaster Douluo and Bloodstain Douluo who had ambushed them.

Undeterred by Flender's fury, the two attackers pressed on—after all, if they killed Yu Xiaogang's group, no one would be left to expose their bullying.

Besides, this was the task entrusted to them by the young master—they had to complete it.

In the end, the spirit fusion technique of Yu Xiaogang's group was completely shattered by the Spearmaster Douluo and Bloodstain Douluo.

Thud—

Thud—

Both Flender and Liu Erlong were killed on the spot by the two Douluo, right before Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

"Flender..."

"Erlong..."

"No..."

Seeing Flender and Liu Erlong meet their grisly ends, Yu Xiaogang's eyes flared with fury and disbelief.

Boom—

Finally, Yu Xiaogang himself was knocked unconscious by the Spearmaster Douluo and was taken away.

Qian Renxue's orders were clear: kill Flender and Liu Erlong, but bring Yu Xiaogang back alive.

This was because Qian Renxue had been thinking of Bibi Dong—she knew that Bibi Dong had longed to personally destroy Yu Xiaogang, so she had instructed the two Douluo to capture him alive.

Then, when Su Mo returned, Bibi Dong would personally examine Yu Xiaogang.

...

Meanwhile, on Sea God Island, Su Mo and his companions were completely unaware of the dramatic changes sweeping across Douluo Continent.

They had no idea that Qian Renxue had even managed to capture Yu Xiaogang.

Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling couldn't leave—not even for a short while.

With nothing pressing to attend to, Su Mo stayed on Sea God Island, devoting himself entirely to completing the third trial of the Sea God Nine Trials, continuously refining his body using the power of the tides.

Six months later, Su Mo's soul power level broke through to 75.

After transcending the Soul Sage stage, further increases in soul power became exceedingly difficult.

During those six months, the tidal training had also further strengthened his physical prowess.

But one month later, Su Mo clearly felt that the benefits of tidal body training were growing increasingly marginal.

Boom—

Realizing this, Su Mo decided not to continue enduring the relentless pounding of the sea against the deep-sea submerged silver pillar. Instead, he broke free from the chains that bound him to the pillar.

[Breaking through the seal of the Deep-Sea Submerged Silver Pillar, you have completed the Sea God's Third Trial ahead of schedule and in excess—reward: 15% Sea God Affinity!]

Soon after breaking free from the chains, Su Mo received the notification that he had completed the third trial.

Su Mo had anticipated this outcome and was not at all surprised.

He knew that in the original story, Tang San also completed the third trial ahead of schedule—albeit through a spiritual awakening, a transformation of his mental strength.

But Su Mo couldn't quite understand: the third trial of the Sea God was clearly meant to test one's physical endurance through tidal training. How could a breakthrough in mental strength count as an excess completion?

It seemed that as long as the Sea God was pleased, any result would suffice!

Buzz—

After Su Mo completed the third trial ahead of schedule, the figure of Posexi soon appeared before him.

"You actually completed the third trial ahead of schedule?"

Posexi looked at Su Mo in astonishment. She had not expected Su Mo to finish the trial so early.

Moreover, it was the first time she learned that the third trial could even be completed ahead of schedule.

As far as she knew, the third trial was merely an opportunity for the participants to hone their bodies—it was never meant for early completion.
