Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 178 Opening Ceremony, Ning Fengzhi, a Master of Political Strategy!
On an official road leading to Tiandou City.

A carriage moved slowly forward, its wheels creaking dully on the ground.

At this moment, Liu Erlong leaned against the carriage window, groggily opening her swollen red eyes, and it took her a while to focus.

She noticed that her clothes had changed from her wedding dress to her everyday casual wear.

Her eyes were vacant, and she didn't care when or how the clothes were changed.

She watched the rapidly receding shadows of the trees outside the window, and saw the first light of dawn on the horizon. Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Yu Luomian, and asked in a hoarse but emotionless voice:

"Where are you taking me? Back to that boring military camp?"

As he spoke, Liu Erlong smirked and chuckled, "Why don't we find a place to bury me, so I won't embarrass you?"

Yu Luomian's eyebrows furrowed. Liu Erlong's words pierced his heart like knives, but he knew that he deserved to be in this situation.

If he hadn't been ashamed to admit her status as an illegitimate child, he wouldn't have let her wander around alone, ultimately leading to this blunder.

"No, I've made up my mind. I'm going to take you back to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan."

Yu Luomian spoke.

“You are my daughter, and you should rightfully acknowledge your ancestry.”

Yu Luomian has made up her mind to go back and face her father and take on the responsibilities of the sect.

More importantly, we can no longer leave Liu Erlong alone outside. After all, who knows what might happen to her?

Liu Erlong suddenly laughed and said coldly:
"You've come to your senses now? When my mother was dying, why didn't you suggest taking her back to the Blue Lightning Sect for help with her treatment?"

"What, now you're afraid I'll embarrass you in public, so you're willing to take me back?"

Yu Luomian remained silent for a long time, unsure how to respond.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted violently, shattering Yu Luomian's silence.

He looked out the window, took a deep breath, and said:
“Erlong, I’m sorry for what happened in the past… but now, I can’t let you wander alone anymore…”

Liu Erlong turned her face away, not intending to pay him any attention.

……

Tiandou City, East District.

The colorful flags in front of the main gate of Blue Tyrant Academy fluttered in the rain.

The hardware construction of this Blue Tyrant Academy has been initially completed. Its gate tower looks similar to the gate of Heavenly Dou City, but it is a bit thinner. However, the entrance of the gate tower is a full ten meters high.

The gatehouse, carved from white marble, may not be considered ornate, but it is quite imposing.

In the center of the gate are eight large, gold-plated characters: Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Although it is smaller in scale than the Royal Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire, only about one-third the size.

However, the academy's biggest feature is that it does not restrict admissions based on background, but only on talent and ability.

Therefore, although the college has not yet started classes, the initial enrollment has gone smoothly and it has already taken shape.

At this moment, the workers are still putting the finishing touches on the decorations, all for today's opening ceremony.

Surprisingly, Yu Zhentian and Yu Zhenhai, who had long since ceased to participate in sect affairs, made an appearance here, demonstrating the importance the Blue Lightning Sect places on this academy.

"Carpet! Lay the red carpet half a foot to the right!"

Yu Zhenhai was giving instructions, but he seemed dissatisfied with everything he did.

The disciple, startled by the reprimand, jumped back and nearly knocked over the maid carrying tea and snacks.

Yu Yuanzhen was entertaining guests. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with a polite smile on his face, but those who knew him could see the fatigue between his brows. He hadn't had a proper rest for a long time because of preparing for the academy.

His wife Yao'er and sister-in-law Xiao Wan were also present, standing beside Yu Yuanzhen and joining in the reception.

Many guests have already arrived at the scene, including Clark, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City.

At that moment, the sound of orderly horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the gate.

Twelve knights in gleaming armor led the way.

Then, Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, got off a carriage from the back and, without waiting for Jian Chenxin behind him, ran straight to the carriage at the front.

Inside the carriage at the head of the procession, a tall figure was led down by a guard, and Ning Fengzhi happened to come to his side and led him into the Blue Tyrant Academy.

The tall, somewhat aged-looking old man was none other than Emperor Xueye. Behind him followed a group of royal guards.

In recent years, after Ning Fengzhi became the sect leader, he has become very close to the Tiandou royal family and has won the approval of Emperor Xueye.

Even the three-year-old Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was appointed as his teacher.

Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also benefited from the support of the Heaven Dou Royal Family, and its financial resources greatly developed. Its status in the entire Soul Master world rose accordingly, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has the best economic resources among all sects.

Yao'er was the first to notice the commotion outside the door. She leaned close to Yu Yuanzhen's ear and whispered, "The Great Emperor and the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have arrived."

Yu Yuanzhen looked up and saw Ning Fengzhi, dressed in white, guiding Emperor Xueye through the crowd.

He immediately straightened his collar and quickly stepped forward to bow.

"His Majesty's presence is an honor to Blue Tyrant Academy."

Upon seeing this, Yu Zhentian and Yu Zhenhai also hurriedly came over to pay their respects.

Emperor Xueye waved his hand, indicating that he should not stand on ceremony, and his gaze swept over the large crowd of people in the square.

Among them were dozens of boys and girls dressed in identical indigo uniforms with small lightning bolt symbols embroidered on their chests, nervously clutching the hems of their clothes as they stood in a line.

They were clearly the first cohort of commoner students recruited by Blue Tyrant Academy.

The Emperor suddenly spoke, looking at Yu Zhentian and praising him:

"Sect Master Yu, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has truly shown great generosity and magnanimity this time, being willing to cultivate commoner Soul Masters. This courage is commendable."

After Yu Zhentian expressed his gratitude,

Yu Yuanzhen quickly led the group to the VIP seats and had them sit down in turn.

Ning Fengzhi naturally sat down next to Emperor Xueye, while Jian Chenxin stood behind Ning Fengzhi with a solemn expression, looking as if he were the only one who mattered in the world.

After looking around, Emperor Xueye suddenly asked, "It's so lively today, why don't I see Tang Yue from the Haotian Sect?"

It turned out that at the location belonging to the Haotian Sect, there was only one elder representative, and he didn't even bring a single disciple.

During this period, Tang Yue's old injuries recurred, and he was bedridden. Important matters of the sect could only be discussed by a few elders, lacking a leader.

In addition, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, the twin stars of Haotian, have gone out and have not yet returned.

The morale of the entire Haotian Sect was somewhat low.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi sighed softly and glanced at Yu Yuanzhen and his group, who were exchanging pleasantries with guests not far away.

Jian Chenxin immediately understood and subtly adjusted his position, perfectly blocking the line of sight between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning School.

At the same time, an invisible barrier of soul power was quietly released, isolating the outside world.

Ning Fengzhi then lowered his voice and said:

"Your Majesty may not know this, but a few years ago, a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan severely injured Tang Hao, a genius disciple of the Clear Sky Clan. Since then, the relationship between the two families has been..."

Emperor Xueye raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding something, and pondered:
"In a sparring match between Soul Masters, injuries are inevitable. If the Clear Sky Sect holds a grudge over this, isn't that a bit petty?"

After speaking, Emperor Xueye paused, his gaze thoughtful, and said:

"However, I do have some recollection of this matter. Even Tang Hao was seriously injured. That disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is no ordinary person either."

Even the Great Emperor Xueye had heard of Tang Hao's reputation in the Soul Master world.

Several years ago, Lan Dian Zong Yu Xiaolie defeated Tang Hao, a man of a higher level. At that time, Emperor Xue Ye became very interested in him and wanted to summon him.

However, after hearing that he immediately went into seclusion in the back mountains of his sect to cultivate after the ceremony, and with busy state affairs, Emperor Xueye gradually forgot about the matter.

Now that he's been reminded of this, his curiosity about Yu Xiaolie has been rekindled.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he sighed softly, saying:
"However, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan was solely focused on pursuing power, unfortunately..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye let out a soft exclamation: "Oh, what's the pity?"

"The Blue Lightning Sect values ​​strength over loyalty and righteousness, and can even abandon family bloodlines. It is said that Yu Xiaogang, the eldest grandson of the sect leader, was forced to rewrite the family tree and was expelled from the sect because of the mutation of his martial soul."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye's expression immediately became complicated.

He gazed at the patriarchs of the Blue Lightning Clan not far away, his eyes filled with scrutiny, and his opinion of them deepened.
