"As expected, some people are like rotten mud that can't be helped—they're just useless plagiarists who can't even recognize the mutated Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon martial soul."

Qian Xunji looked at Yu Xiaogang with disdain. Suddenly, an idea struck him—a brilliant plan. It was one that would neither kill Yu Xiaogang (which might drive Bibi Dong to madness and cause her to commit suicide) nor completely destroy him. Instead, it would utterly crush him, turning him into a pathetic rat in the sewer, living like a clown. This plan might even make Bibi Dong change her mind and bring the family back together.

"Hey, the one called Er Long, which member of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon clan is your father?"

Liu Erlong painfully got up, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. She shouted angrily, "What does that have to do with you? Let Xiaogang go! You're abusing him without reason. You're unworthy of being the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall doesn't deserve to be the ruler of soul masters on the continent!"

Liu Erlong had no affection for the Spirit Hall. Her biological father was Yu Luomian, one of the leaders of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon clan. No matter how tough her words were, she still acknowledged her father. The Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon clan had little love for the Spirit Hall, and by extension, she didn't either. Furthermore, Yu Xiaogang had told her about the tragic experiences he'd suffered in the Spirit Hall. With these factors combined, she had nothing but hatred for the Spirit Hall.

Qian Xunji sneered. "How foolish. You want to know who Yu Xiaogang's father is in the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon clan? Actually, you two are relatives."

Liu Erlong immediately shouted, "Impossible! Xiaogang's martial soul is Luo Sanpao, a little pig, not the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon!"

"Let Yu Xiaogang answer for himself," Qian Xunji said, releasing his grip and placing his hands behind his back as he calmly pondered the possible outcomes.

After escaping Qian Xunji's grasp, Yu Xiaogang coughed a few times, took a deep breath, and then looked at Liu Erlong. He wasn't sure whether to ask, considering that he was the most useless person in the history of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon clan—a disgrace to the family. He hoped that the two of them might be cousins, and if Liu Erlong discovered his true identity, they could continue their relationship.

From Yu Xiaogang's expression, Liu Erlong guessed that Qian Xunji hadn't lied to her. Grabbing Yu Xiaogang by the shoulder, she spoke bluntly, "Xiaogang, my father is Yu Luomian. Who is your father? Don't worry, no matter who your father is, I won't look down on you. I've already fallen deeply in love with you."

Upon hearing this, Flender felt both disappointed and somewhat relieved. Yu Xiaogang was stunned. It was as though he had been struck by a million points of damage. His body trembled uncontrollably as he struggled to accept this reality.

Even Qian Xunji was taken aback. He had assumed they were just cousins, and had intended to mock Yu Xiaogang for not recognizing the mutated Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon martial soul. But this was a bombshell.

Among the hundreds of direct descendants of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon clan, cousin relationships were rare—perhaps one in ten—and now they were involved!

Liu Erlong anxiously shook Yu Xiaogang, urging him, "Xiaogang, tell me, it's okay. I will never abandon you."

Qian Xunji casually remarked, "Allow me to clarify. Yu Xiaogang is the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the young master of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon clan. That makes him either your cousin or younger cousin."

"Impossible! This can't be true! Xiaogang, tell me this isn't real! This nonsense Pope is lying!" Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes filled with tears. Cousins falling in love—this was a forbidden love, a disgrace not only to their family but to the entire continent.

Yu Xiaogang didn't want to say anything else. All he wanted was to escape from this place—escape from this heartbreaking situation to somewhere Liu Erlong couldn't find him.

He began to crawl away, abandoning the books scattered on the ground. He moved as fast as he could, but a powerful force pulled him back, and once again, he was in Qian Xunji's grasp, like a helpless chick in his hand.

"Qian Xunji, let me go! If you're so brave, just kill me! What's the point of humiliating me?" Yu Xiaogang screamed frantically. Between his dignity and his life, he chose his dignity. After all, his life was worthless; there was nothing to care about. If he died, it wouldn't matter.

"Humiliate you? Do you really think I'd waste my time humiliating you?" Qian Xunji's voice was cold. The murderous intent in his words sent chills down the spines of the Golden Iron Triangle.

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and said, "That was something I promised you before. I swear, I haven't told anyone else anything, and I give you my word as Yu Xiaogang."

Qian Xunji sneered, "I don't believe the words of a selfish thief like you!"

"I've said everything I needed to say. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes were filled with fury. At that moment, how he wished for power—strong power, the kind that could destroy the Spirit Hall. With such strength, he could crush Qian Xunji underfoot.

Qian Xunji's tone was cold. "Swear it. Swear it on your martial soul. Kneel and swear it, or I can destroy the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon clan at any moment by exposing the Spirit Hall's core secrets. That old dragon, Yu Longchen, with his withered blood and breath, is in no position to stop me!"

"Xiaogang, you can't!"

"Xiaogang, you mustn't kneel!"

Flender and Liu Erlong shouted in unison.

"Bang! Bang!" Two loud crashes echoed as Qian Xunji slapped both Flender and Liu Erlong, sending them flying. "Don't think for a moment that I have a gentle temperament."

"I'll kneel! I'll kneel! I swear it!" Yu Xiaogang squeezed out the words like toothpaste from a tube. He could die, but the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon clan could not perish because of him. His family had mocked and ridiculed him, but his father and second uncle had never stopped showing him care. They hadn't ridiculed him for his weak martial soul.

"Begin, right here," Qian Xunji said, his tone as cold and emotionless as ever.

Feeling the gaze of the two behind him—especially the one from Liu Erlong, the woman he loved—along with thoughts of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon clan, Yu Xiaogang ultimately kneeled. He raised his right hand and declared, "I, Yu Xiaogang, swear to the heavens that I will never leak a single secret of the Spirit Hall. If I do, my martial soul will shatter, and I will never have peace in death!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yu Xiaogang felt as though all his strength had been drained. He collapsed weakly to the ground.

"Remember your oath," Qian Xunji sneered one last time, casting a dismissive glance at Yu Xiaogang before leaving.

"Xiaogang! Xiaogang! Are you alright? What happened to you?" Flender and Liu Erlong rushed to his side, surrounding him.

But Yu Xiaogang didn't hear them. In his mind, the scene of him kneeling before Qian Xunji and making that humiliating vow played over and over again.

His eyes turned crimson with rage as he used his last ounce of strength to scream, "I, Yu Xiaogang, will never forgive the Spirit Hall! In this life and the next, I will destroy the Spirit Hall!"

With those final words, Yu Xiaogang spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
