Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 266 Yu Luomian's Betrayal! The Elite Tournament Officially Begins!
After leaving the Limestone Academy, Yu Luomian's emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.

The thought of Yu Xiaolie and his elder brother Yu Yuanzhen, who was trying to reach level 96 in Thunder Valley, made his teeth grind.

"Why is it that... Yu Yuanzhen can break through to level 95, while I can't even touch the threshold of level 90..."

Back when they were testing their soul power during the Martial Soul Awakening test, he and Yu Yuanzhen were almost equal.

Because Yu Yuanzhen was born a few years earlier than him, he started cultivating a few years earlier and from then on, he was unstoppable. The family resources were actively tilted towards him, and the gap between him and his elder brother grew wider and wider, which is why Yu Luomian did not get better development!
Now the family has fallen into the hands of Yu Yuanzhen's son, Yu Xiaolie, while his daughter, Liu Erlong, has been driven out of the house.

What's even more infuriating is that Yu Xiaolie actually opened up Thunder Valley, such a precious cultivation ground, to all disciples, further weakening his privileges as the former second-in-command.

When he asked for more cultivation resources such as herbs, Yu Xiaolie simply glanced at him and said, "Second Uncle, the sect rewards merits. If you want more cultivation resources, go and fight for them yourself."

"Go and fight for it yourself?"

A hint of resentment flashed in Yu Luomian's eyes. "I'm your second uncle, after all. In the end, what's the difference between me and an ordinary disciple of the sect?"

Even his former disciples, who were once extremely respectful to him, now treat his greetings with perfunctory indifference.

"Fine...fine! Since you're so heartless...don't blame me for being ruthless too..."

Immediately, a terrible thought arose in Yu Luomian's mind.

……

Inside the main hall of the Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Branch Hall, there was no one around except for Platinum Bishop Salas, who was reviewing documents.

The candlelight cast flickering shadows on his sinister face, and the quill pen scratched across the paper.

Suddenly, his pen paused, he looked up at the window, and said in a deep voice, "Now that we're here, why hide?"

"Bishop Salas has such keen perception."

Yu Luomian emerged from the shadows, a stiff smile on her face.

Even the Martial Soul Branch Hall couldn't stop this Soul Douluo.

Salas narrowed his eyes. It was highly unusual for the former second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan to visit alone at this time.

He then slowly put down his quill and asked curiously, "What brings you here so late at night?"

The hall was eerily quiet; the two people's breathing seemed to be clearly audible.

Yu Luomian took a deep breath and said directly, "I think the Spirit Hall must really want to know the Blue Lightning Sect's family information, right?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Salas's pupils contracted slightly.

He rose and paced around the jade crown, his boots making a dull thud on the carpet.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is currently at its zenith. What kind of show are you putting on?"

"At its zenith?"

Yu Luomian sneered, veins bulging on his forehead. "That's all Yu Xiaolie's glory! What are we old guys? We even have to queue up for cultivation resources just like ordinary disciples!"

As he spoke, he looked at Salas, his tone becoming calm.

"I can provide the Spirit Hall with all the information about the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, including their map, roster, and cultivation resources, as well as continue to provide intelligence in the future, as long as the Spirit Hall doesn't treat me unfairly..."

To show its sincerity, Yu Luomian went to great lengths.

Upon hearing this, Salas was somewhat surprised and took a half step back, the candlelight flickering in his eyes: "Jade Crown, why did you do this?"

As the highest bishop of Tiandou City, he had witnessed too many family infighting, but he never imagined that the former second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Sect would take the initiative to surrender.

Yu Luomian suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, which echoed in the empty main hall. "Bishop Salas, have you ever seen a family that would drive its own bloodline out of the house? Have you ever seen an elder who has to rely on others for cultivation resources?"

As he spoke, he suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, "I will make the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan pay a heavy price! Even annihilation is not enough!"

Salas remained silent for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands.

"Alright, I will report this matter to the Pope in secret. She will definitely grant you a secret position in the Spirit Hall. From now on, you will be a member of the Spirit Hall."

PS: The author found some side stories where Yu Luomian secretly colluded with the Spirit Hall to destroy his family. This plot is consistent with the original character setting. The reason for writing it down is for the needs of the subsequent plot.

……

Two hours later, in the office of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader.

Ning Fengzhi sat at the wooden table, his jade abacus clicking away. The Seven Treasures Sect was in a slump, so he had to be careful with his money.

Bone Douluo stood behind him like a shadow. Ever since he was crippled by Yu Xiaolie, he only had the strength of a Soul Douluo.

When the guard announced Yu Luomian's arrival, Ning Fengzhi's fingers paused, and the clinking of the abacus beads abruptly stopped. "Have him wait in the main hall," Ning Fengzhi said calmly, but a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes.

Soon, Yu Luomian arrived at the reception hall, guided by her guards.

When the two met, Ning Fengzhi had already put on a perfect smile.

Seeing Yu Luomian's gloomy and preoccupied expression, Ning Fengzhi very considerately dismissed the maids beside him.

Inside the hall, only he and Gu Rong remained.

Yu Luomian went straight to the point: "Sect Leader Ning, you must be very eager to obtain the Blue Lightning Sect's business plan and expansion plan, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow, looking at Yu Luomian with suspicion and wariness, but remained silent.

Yu Luomian was not in a hurry and slowly said, "I can provide the sect's business map and all the expansion plans. At that time, if the Seven Treasures Sect wants to encroach on the interests of the Blue Lightning Sect, it can do so quietly."

As expected, when the benefits are great enough, there's nothing you can't do. Ning Fengzhi was eventually tempted, but he was far more cautious than Salas.

The Bone Douluo behind him snorted coldly, clearly not believing it.

Ning Fengzhi raised his hand to stop him, stroking his teacup with his smile unchanged: "Brother Yu is joking. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is powerful now. How dare our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan snatch food from a tiger's mouth?"

Yu Luomian scoffed, "Sect Master Ning, Yu Xiaolie swindled you out of ten billion gold soul coins, and you're just accepting it so readily?"

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Of course he remembered it; he would never forget such humiliation, even in death.

Yu Luomian continued, "Why does he need money? Isn't it because he lacks funds to develop his economy? Even if he develops now, it also gives us a great opportunity to erode his economic lifeline."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi replied, "I can trust you. As long as I can see enough benefit from this, you will be the best friend of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Even so, Ning Fengzhi remained skeptical.

What if this is a bomb thrown by Yu Xiaolie?
He couldn't afford to fall into Yu Xiaolie's trap again, so he decided to observe the situation further.

Before Yu Luomian left, Ning Fengzhi asked casually, "By the way, the price of refined iron has risen too much. As the main monopolist, could your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan supply me with a batch privately?"

What do you need the refined iron for?

Yu Luomian asked curiously.

Ning Fengzhi remained unfazed: "It's nothing. The disciples of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School lack the ability to protect themselves, so we need refined iron to forge some defensive items."

He naturally wouldn't say outright that he needed refined iron to forge hidden weapons.

After all, the large-scale appearance of this thing could be a weapon that changes the course of the battlefield.

But these raw materials are incredibly expensive right now, so we need to save money wherever we can.

Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian grinned and said, "Although Yu Xiaoting and the Third Elder are mainly in charge of the concentrate, I, as the former second-in-command, still have this privilege."

……

Several months later, the Heavenly Battle Arena was bustling with noise.

The Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies has officially begun!
Colorful flags fluttered in the wind as teams from various colleges lined up in long queues at the entrance.

The stands were packed, and cheers came in waves like a tsunami.

Amidst the clamor of discussion, Liu Erlong led the Shrek team to the registration desk.

"Shrek Academy Registration and Entry!"

She slammed her hand on the registration desk, causing ink to splatter.

The Soul Master in charge of registration flipped through the roster and frowned, saying, "Madam, Shrek Academy is not on the list of advanced Soul Master academies."

"What? It's Shrek Academy!"

Liu Erlong's voice suddenly rose, causing other students from the colleges waiting in line to enter to peek over.

Yu Xiaogang quickly stepped forward and said, "We are the Shrek team representing Gray Rock Academy."

The registrar looked them over suspiciously: "Oh, Grayrock Academy, huh? You should have said so earlier... What's with this Shrek? Never heard of it!"

Immediately, Dai Mubai's fists clenched so tightly they cracked. He was about to step forward and teach this ungrateful registrar a lesson when Tang San pressed down on his shoulder.

Ning Rongrong bit her lip in shame, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes. The Shrek family she loved so much had repeatedly run into trouble in formal occasions, and as the only daughter of the prestigious Seven Treasures Sect, she couldn't do anything to help.

The registrar curled his lip, slowly flipped through the roster, and wrote: "Gray Rock Academy... Shrek Team..."
