DD—Chapter 5: The Spirit Hall Branch Stationed in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
"Okay, I'm not here to watch you quarrel," Qian Xunfeng waved his hand with a faint smile. "I hope your sect can give us reasonable compensation; otherwise, today will be the day the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is destroyed."
Hearing this, the elders, whose faces had originally flushed with anger, looked at the surrounding Spirit Hall army and suddenly turned pale. They realized they were in a difficult situation.
Now that they had come to the door, it was reasonable, and other forces couldn't say anything.
But seeing such a luxurious lineup, they couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. Anyone with discernment could see that if they didn't bleed heavily this time, they wouldn't have a good ending.
Thinking of this, the six elders looked at Yu Yuanzhen with angry eyes and said coldly, "It's all your son's fault."
"I don't know what kind of compensation the Spirit Hall wants. My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will do its best to make up for it."
After all, now was not the time to blame. The elder suppressed his anger; first, he had to resolve the matter in front of him.
"I am not a treacherous or evil person," Qian Xunfeng smiled kindly.
"But 15% of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's territory will be ceded to the Spirit Hall, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will have no right to restrict its development."
"What! Cede the land?" The elder immediately became anxious. This was their ancestral land— how could it be casually handed over to outsiders?
"Hey, don't worry. This is just the first condition," Qian Xunfeng cleared his throat and finally revealed the remaining conditions.
"There are also 500 million gold soul coins and 50% of the assets of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect— all of which will go to the Spirit Hall."
"What! Isn't this going to ruin our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?" Yu Yuanzhen's face darkened as he looked at Qian Xunfeng, who was much younger than him and said with some humiliation.
The soul ring on his body appeared, indicating he was prepared to use his status as a Titled Douluo to pressure for lowering compensation.
But it was too much.
If they paid, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect might have to live on the breadline, as they didn't have that much money.
"How can the Saintess take away the industry our family has run for thousands of years? Your Excellency is going too far. I need to discuss this with your Pope," Yu Yuanzhen said.
Qian Xunfeng, who had just ascended the throne as Pope not long ago and hadn't yet invited the three sects to re-rank, was unaware that his name had not yet been known to them.
"I am the new Pope of the Pope's Palace— Qian Xunfeng."
As soon as he finished speaking, he summoned the Whip of Punishment in his hand. The six black and three red soul rings exuded a shocking pressure.
"Why, Master Yu want to test the strength of the new Pope?" he asked, as the whip ignited with raging flames.
For Qian Xunfeng, what is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect? In the original story, it was merely background— a sect of waste, unable to produce two titles, yet arrogant every day.
"Your Majesty, could you reduce the compensation? Our family really can't afford 500 million gold soul coins," Yu Yuanzhen pleaded, looking at Qian Xunfeng's soul rings, visibly wilted.
"Master Yu, I am not discussing; I am informing you. If the compensation is not paid today, there will be no Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect tomorrow," Qian Xunfeng said coldly.
Thinking that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect didn't have that much money, he touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Considering your clan's difficulties and my kindness, how about offering the Nine Crowns of the True Dragon to our Spirit Hall? It's worth 150 million gold soul coins," he added with a grin.
"You!" Yu Yuanzhen, already angry, blushed and glared at Qian Xunfeng, who was grinning in front of him.
"What? Master Yu, do you want to learn from me?" Qian Xunfeng taunted.
"Humph, that's what I meant!" Yu Yuanzhen growled, his tone full of resentment.
Suddenly, Yu Yuanzhen's body lit up with a thunderbolt as arcs of electricity flashed across his form, and he began to swell.
Deep blue scales covered his body, and his limbs transformed into four massive dragon claws.
With a roar, nine soul rings flashed around him, and the powerful dragon aura shocked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
"Tsk tsk tsk, now I'll see how strong Master Yu is," Qian Xunfeng said, licking his lips as the divine fire on his Whip of Judgment intensified.
"The fourth soul skill: the protection of the angel of the throne, the blessing of the seraph, and the protection of the angel of wisdom."
As he spoke, Qian Xunfeng's aura suddenly soared. After using three amplification soul skills, his attributes increased by 600%.
Feeling the power, Qian Xunfeng swung his Whip of Judgment, which flared with divine fire.
"Angel's Holy Judgement!"
A long, red whip slashed at Yu Yuanzhen, who had transformed into a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, striking with lightning-fast speed.
Yu Yuanzhen was embedded in the ground with a loud crack.
"Bone Binding Flame!"
The red flames on the whip turned purple, flickering strangely.
"Master Yu, why are you lying down before I can ask for your sect's high-level tactics?" Qian Xunfeng mocked, slashing again. Blood appeared on Yu Yuanzhen's body.
The Bone Binding Flame continued to burn him, making him howl in pain.
After nearly ten minutes of whipping, Qian Xunfeng finally stopped, feeling strangely exhilarated. How could this old guy have the guts to stay silent after so many hits?
"Master Yu, are you still not going to admit defeat?" Qian Xunfeng asked.
After a moment, Yu Yuan, trembling, weakly said, "I... I admit defeat!"
What do you mean he won't admit defeat? It was Qian Xunfeng who was too excited and didn't give him a chance to speak.
"We admit defeat. Please, Your Holiness, come with us to the treasury."
The elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned to Yu Luomian, who was watching, and said, "Yu Luomian, go draft the transfer contract for the family property, and I will take His Holiness to collect the funds."
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's treasury:
Qian Xunfeng, having seized the entire sect's assets, was in a very good mood.
"The total is 200 million gold soul coins. This pope will count the Nine Crowns of the True Dragon as worth 150 million. Don't forget to pay back the remaining 50 million," he instructed.
The Nine Crowns of the True Dragon arrived just in time. Several titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall still lacked a soul bone.
Elder Golden Crocodile's soul bones were not fully equipped, and he planned to improve the strength of Spirit Hall's titled Douluo.
"In that case, this pope will leave first. The stationed personnel in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will arrive soon. The elders must entertain them well."
Seeing the sect's real financial situation, Qian Xunfeng decided not to bring more people, so he returned with a group of soul saints.
"Your Holiness, take care," the elders said, watching him leave.
"Hold a family meeting and prepare to expel Yu Xiaogang, the scourge, from the family tree," they decided.
