Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 53 Yu Yuanzhen's favoritism leads to Yu Xiaogang's downfall.

"Xiaogang, this is the last time I, as your father, will help you. After you leave this time, don't come back for a while."

Yu Yuanzhen ultimately couldn't remain unmoved by Yu Xiaogang's kneeling pleas and chose to help him one last time.

Yu Xiaogang remained silent, but knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Yuanzhen several more times.

Anything said now is meaningless. Only by letting the mistress grow up quickly and prove that her decision was correct can the father feel some comfort.

"Father, I'm leaving."

"Go."

Yu Yuanzhen sighed deeply. After parting today, he didn't know when he would see his son again.

Not long after Yu Xiaogang left, his expression suddenly changed.

"not good."

Yu Yuanzhen sensed a fluctuation of soul power coming from the direction Yu Xiaogang had left. He immediately thought that someone had attacked Yu Xiaogang.

"What a courage."

Yu Yuanzhen was furious.

He never intervened when Yu Xiaogang was ostracized and looked down upon in the family, after all, he knew that he had invested too many resources in Yu Xiaogang, and it was normal for other family members to be dissatisfied.

But their actions against Yu Xiaogang changed the nature of the matter. Yu Xiaogang was his son, and daring to lay a hand on him was tantamount to disrespecting him as the sect leader and clan chief.

Yu Luomian rushed over quickly and immediately saw Yu Xiaogang being held down on the ground by several clansmen.

"You bastards, what are you doing?"

Enraged, Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand, unleashing a surge of soul power that sent several clansmen flying.

He addressed the jade crown that was present:
"Luo Mian, are you just going to stand by and watch them act recklessly and lay a hand on your nephew?"

Several elders stepped forward.

"Sect Master, this matter is unanimously agreed upon by all our elders."

Even Yu Yuanzhen could not ignore the combined opinions of all the elders.

He suppressed his anger and said, "What crime did Xiao Gang commit that requires you to treat him like this? He hasn't returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect for so many years, and after seeing me this time, he's leaving in a hurry. Does that bother you too?"

Yu Yuanzhen's anger did not frighten the people of his tribe.

An elder sneered:

"To betray one's own family and use one's own family's precious resources to cultivate the successor of a rival sect, isn't that a grave crime?"

Yu Yuanzhen's eyes narrowed slightly.

How is that possible? How did they know why Xiao Gang came back, and how did they know that Xiao Gang's disciple was a descendant of the Haotian Sect?

He believed that he had not disturbed anyone when he took the Thunder Pattern Grass and the Bell Stone Essence.

How they found out is no longer the most important thing; the key is that Yu Yuanzhen absolutely cannot admit to such a thing.

If this is confirmed, not only will Yu Xiaogang pay a heavy price, but even he, as the sect leader, will not be able to escape unscathed.

“Nonsense, where did you hear this news from?” Yu Yuanzhen denied.

"Why is the sect leader so angry? Whether this news is true or false, we'll know once we check it."

"Don't worry, if we have wronged Yu Xiaogang, I will be the first to apologize to him."

How could Yu Yuanzhen possibly agree to their proposal?

He knew better than anyone what Yu Xiaogang possessed, and if it were to be revealed, it would definitely provoke the wrath of all the clansmen.

“This is outrageous! How can you allow yourselves to search my son?”

Yu Yuanzhen noticed several dead souls at the back of the crowd.

"What are they? Is it because of these inhuman, ghostly things that you've gathered here to cause trouble?"

"What a ridiculous statement, neither human nor ghost." Elder Yu Huantian sneered.

"Does that mean only your son, Yu Yuanzhen, is human, and these disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family are just the things you talk about?" The more Yu Yuanzhen refused to let them search Yu Xiaogang's body, the more it proved that what the dead souls said was very likely true.

"Are they also from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family?"

Yu Yuanzhen had absolutely no memory of these deceased souls.

"Heh, of course you wouldn't remember them. After all, they're not your sons. Their martial souls mutated into useless ones, and they didn't have a father who could use the entire clan's resources to raise them. It's understandable that the sect leader wouldn't recognize them."

Yu Yuanzhen sensed something was wrong.

He has indeed been unfair in his dealings with others in the past, especially in the case of Yu Xiaogang.

But he was, after all, the sect leader, and the only titled Douluo in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. His prestige was still very high, and almost no one dared to speak to him like that.

But today, not only the elders were like this, but even the disciples of lower seniority looked at him with little respect.

This is the result of infringing on everyone's interests; even if you are the sect leader, you will not gain everyone's approval.

Yu Yuanzhen continued to evade the question, saying, "Then how did they appear? They were clearly dead, yet they could appear out of nowhere. There must be a conspiracy behind this."

"Whether it's a conspiracy or not, we can investigate it slowly. Sect Master, you can investigate however you want. But we also need an explanation for Yu Xiaogang's matter."

As the elder spoke, he reached out and grabbed at Yu Xiaogang, who had just gotten up.

bang~
Amidst flashes of lightning, Yu Yuanzhen stood in front of Yu Xiaogang.

In front of him, a titled Douluo, the elders with the cultivation level of Soul Douluo were clearly no match for him.

"Sect Master!" several elders shouted, "Are you really going to protect Yu Xiaogang, this traitorous good-for-nothing?"

Their saying such things is a sign that they are about to turn hostile.

No matter what, Yu Xiaogang was Yu Yuanzhen's son. Even if they looked down on Yu Xiaogang, they would never directly berate him as a good-for-nothing in front of him and Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Xiaogang's face turned a deep purplish-red, and his hands clenched into tight fists.

The term "waste" sounded particularly grating to him.

These people have no idea how brilliant he is in theoretical research. Only his mistress can prove that he is not a good-for-nothing. For his mistress's sake, he cannot let these people find anything on him.

Yu Yuanzhen unleashed his full power as a Title Douluo, causing the disciples with lower cultivation levels to break out in a cold sweat, as if they were under immense pressure.

Even the elders, who were Soul Douluo, would find it difficult to face Yu Yuanzhen's imposing aura.

"Xiaogang came back this time just to see me, it has nothing to do with anything else. Now I am just a father, and I absolutely cannot let my son be humiliated."

As he spoke, Yu Yuanzhen patted Yu Xiaogang on the back.

Yu Xiaogang was suddenly propelled by a powerful force and flew out of the valley.

"Sect Master, you've gone too far! Do you even remember that you are the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect? Do you even remember that you are the patriarch of all of us?"

Yu Yuanzhen remained silent.

He was indeed not a competent clan leader or patriarch, but he had no choice but to do so.

Xiao Gang's life is already very hard. For Xiao Gang's sake, he can only temporarily sacrifice the interests of other clansmen.

"No need to say anything more. Once any of you break through to the Title Douluo level, what's wrong with me stepping down and giving way to a more capable person?"

Strength is Yu Yuanzhen's greatest source of confidence.

Before any other Title Douluo is born in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, no matter how incompetent he is, everyone else can only grit their teeth and bear it.

"Want to leave? Not so easy."

Of course, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had more than just these few undead souls, but Ning Qiuyang did not summon the other undead souls all at once.

Since Yu Yuanzhen chose to cheat, he simply overturned the entire table.

"Ah~"

"Don't come any closer, what are you?"

Outside the valley, Yu Xiaogang let out a shrill scream.
