Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 305 Yu Xiaogang is abandoned, Qian Xunji is furious

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect.

dungeon.

This place is cold and damp all year round. Water droplets condensing on the stone walls drip onto the moss, making a chilling "drip-drip" sound.

Ning Rongrong huddled in the corner, her arms tightly wrapped around her knees. Her tears had long since dried, leaving only her swollen eyes and slightly trembling shoulders.

Her long dress was covered in dust and bloodstains, and even her once carefully styled hair was now disheveled and stuck to her cheeks like a clump of withered grass.

"Rongrong, don't cry..."

Xiao Wu squatted down beside her, her voice soft but tinged with exhaustion.

The red marks from the chains still lingered on her wrists, and her long pink hair had lost its former luster.

“Brother Dai is the Star Luo Prince, and Third Brother is a descendant of the Haotian Sect. They will definitely find a way to save us.”

Xiao Wu tried to make her voice sound firm, but when she said "Third Brother," her fingertips involuntarily curled up.

Ning Rongrong raised her head, her emerald eyes empty and lifeless: "But... my sect is gone... my father is dead... Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, all..."

Her voice choked, as if something was choking her throat, and she could no longer speak.

Xiao Wu was silent.

She didn't know how to comfort Ning Rongrong.

For her, the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was indeed a disaster.

But what she was truly worried and afraid of was being hunted down by the Blue Lightning Sect before Tang San could even arrive.

The revelation of her identity as a 100,000-year-old soul beast means that her soul rings and soul bones will become treasures coveted by countless soul masters.

Watching Ning Rongrong cry her heart out, she felt a strange sense of irritation.

You lost your sect, but I lost the chance to grow old with Third Brother...

She thought to herself, but was immediately startled by her own thoughts.

How could she think that?

But...where is Third Brother now? Is he safe? Could he have already...?

Xiao Wu bit her lower lip, forcing herself to stop her wild thoughts.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the dungeon, and two Blue Lightning Sect disciples came over carrying oil lamps.

Under the lamplight, their shadows stretched long on the stone wall, resembling two ferocious monsters.

"time to eat."

One of them said coldly, throwing two bowls of thin rice porridge and half a piece of hard bread into the cell.

Ning Rongrong didn't move, she just stared blankly at the ground.

Xiao Wu picked up the bowl and handed it to her: "Rongrong, eat something, or you won't be able to hold on."

Ning Rongrong shook her head, her voice hoarse: "I don't want to eat..."

Xiao Wu sighed and took a sip of rice porridge.

The cold liquid slid down her throat, carrying a musty taste, but she forced herself to swallow it anyway.

She must find a way to survive.

Just so I can see my third brother one more time.

……

On the other side, at the Limestone Academy.

Yu Xiaogang finally "escaped" from the Spirit Hall.

At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of the academy, still wearing that gray cloth robe.

Years of washing have made it whiter and more tattered, and its eyes look tired and blank.

He finally stood in front of the gates of the Gray Rock Academy, only to see Li Yusong, Shao Xin, and several other former Shrek Academy teachers being driven out by Dean Shi of the Gray Rock Academy.

Their luggage was roughly thrown on the ground, and books were scattered all over the place.

"Teacher Li! Teacher Shao! Teacher Lu..."

Yu Xiaogang called out, his voice tinged with urgency.

Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang arrive, Dean Shi's expression turned extremely unpleasant.

"Please, for the sake of the kindness I've shown you in the past, please leave!"

Now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been destroyed, Shrek Academy has foolishly clashed with the Blue Lightning School's leader.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would know which choice to make. Grayrock Academy, in particular, certainly doesn't want to get involved in any trouble!

Li Yusong bent down to pick up the books from the ground and said with a wry smile, "Dean, we have at least contributed to the academy, why be so ruthless?"

Yu Xiaogang staggered over and picked up Shao Xin's white hat: "Dean! We at Shrek Academy have never offended you, and we have done our best for the teaching of Gray Rock Academy. Why are you kicking us out?"

Dean Gray Rock sighed, "It's not that I'm heartless, it's just that the situation forces me to... You should leave and never come back."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back, closing the academy gate.

In an instant, the former teachers of Shrek Academy also picked up their luggage and were about to leave.

Shao Xin was grabbed by the sleeve by Yu Xiaogang: "Teacher Shao, what are you doing..."

He glanced at Yu Xiaogang, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Master, why are you the only one back? The academy has disbanded, so we... should each find our own way to make a living."

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback, then said urgently, "It's alright! We can rebuild Shrek Academy! As long as I'm here, the spirit of Shrek Academy will never fall!"

His voice was strong and clear, but it was met with silence from the others.

Li Yusong patted him on the shoulder, his voice weary: "Master, let's forget it... We're both in our fifties or sixties, we can't keep up with this."

"But--"

"forget it."

Lu Qibin interrupted him, bent down to pick up the last book, and stuffed it into his bundle. "We've offended the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. We don't want to die so soon. You're lucky to be alive."

Yu Xiaogang stood there, watching them turn and leave one by one, their shadows stretching long in the setting sun.

His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't utter a single word.

Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang remembered something. He quickly caught up with Shao Xin and grabbed his arm: "Teacher Shao! Since everyone has lost interest in rebuilding, then... then let's travel together? That way we can look out for each other on the road..."

Shao Xin stopped and glanced at him, his eyes filled with pity: "Master, I have family to support, it's really inconvenient for me..."

Nowadays, everyone knows that Yu Xiaogang's theoretical knowledge is pure empty talk, and this person has spent most of his life without even reaching level 30.

Even if he were to retire, as a master, he would still lack both resources and connections on the mainland.

Their teachers were either Soul Saints or Soul Emperors; who would want to carry this burden of a Great Soul Master around the country?

Yu Xiaogang immediately turned to look at Li Yusong.

But he shook his head: "I plan to go back to my hometown and find a job as a Soul Master, and live a peaceful life."

Lu Qibin made up a lame excuse and left in a hurry, afraid of being entangled with him.

Yu Xiaogang slowly released his grip and stood there, like an abandoned statue.

A cold wind blew by, and he was the only one left in front of the school gate.

He looked down at his shadow, then suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with melancholy.

"Unexpectedly... decades later, I am once again alone, wandering from place to place..."

……

Wuhun Temple.

The gilded doors of the Papal Palace were pushed open with a bang, and Qian Xunji's figure rushed in with a gust of wind.

After recovering from his serious injuries, he retired from public life and handed over the papacy to Bibi Dong.

Over the years, he has lived a leisurely life and rarely interfered in the affairs of the Spirit Hall.

His injuries had mostly healed, and although there were still some lingering symptoms, they no longer affected his cultivation. His soul power level had recovered to 95.

But when he learned that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been destroyed, he immediately became restless.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was destroyed. Such a huge event, how could you not have noticed it beforehand? And not even tried to stop it?!" His voice was like thunder, booming throughout the hall.

In his view, the power between sects needs to be balanced, just like the balance between two great empires.

Now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been destroyed, only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School and the Haotian School remain of the three upper schools.

But how terrifying will the Blue Lightning Sect's strength and influence become after it annexed the Seven Treasures Sect?

It can be said that one sect has become the dominant force, so how can there be any checks and balances between sects?

Bibi Dong simply sat quietly on the papal chair, her purple eyes calm as still water, unmoved by his anger.

No matter how Ren Qianxunji tried to probe, he could not discern the slightest emotion in her eyes.

“The strong are respected, and a balance that can be broken is not a balance at all,” Bibi Dong said calmly, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"And teacher, you've already retired."

Her stance is clear: don't worry about it.
