Chapter 45: The Cowardly Yu Xiaogang Runs Away Again, Bibi Dong is Released

In Spirit City.

After failing to sell Bibi Dong to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect, Yu Yuanzhen could only return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with frustration, bringing Yu Dalong along with him.

But as soon as he arrived back at the sect, bad news struck him right in the face.

"Yuanzhen… Xiaogang… Xiaogang has run away from home again!"

The moment Yu Yuanzhen stepped inside, Yu Xiaogang's mother, her eyes red with tears, rushed up to him in the main hall, grabbing his hand and sobbing.

Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen's face instantly darkened, and he couldn't help but curse angrily.

"That ungrateful brat! He actually ran away again!"

"The last time he ran off, he nearly ruined the sect and the clan, and he still hasn't learned his lesson."

"I already told him—I'll find him a better woman in the future!"

Yu Dalong, standing to the side, looked a little embarrassed.

He knew very well why his younger brother, Yu Xiaogang, had run away.

It was nothing more than the fact that, in order to compensate for their losses, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had treated Bibi Dong as war spoils.

Not only had their father, Yu Yuanzhen, taken part, but he himself and the other elders had also participated in the secret chamber's relentless assault on Bibi Dong.

Although, in the end, none of them had been able to break through her defenses, just the act itself was undoubtedly a humiliation and torment for Yu Xiaogang.

He had probably wanted to run away long ago but had been unable to, as their father had been watching him closely.

This time, while their father and he had gone to Spirit City to attend Spirit Hall's Pope Qian Xunji's wedding, his little brother must have seized the opportunity to escape.

"Forget it! Leave him be!"

"He won't die out there anyway!"

After venting his anger for a while, Yu Yuanzhen finally suppressed his fury and snorted coldly.

"But to prevent him from bringing disaster to the family again…"

"If he dares to disobey and leave the clan without permission…"

"Then remove him from our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's ancestral records."

"From now on, whatever trouble he causes has nothing to do with us!"

After lashing out about his youngest son running away again, Yu Yuanzhen quickly lost interest in the matter.

Because, in the end, he knew very well—no matter where Yu Xiaogang went, he wouldn't die.

For now, the most important thing was to see if he could sell Bibi Dong and recover some of their losses.

Yu Yuanzhen planned to take care of this matter within three days.

If he couldn't… then he would have no choice but to release Bibi Dong for nothing.

There was no other way!

After suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of Qian Xunji and then having him personally lead a group to heavily extort the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen had truly been frightened and humbled.

He didn't dare to give Qian Xunji any excuse to send Spirit Hall after them again.

After all, their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan didn't have another True Dragon Nine Crowns to offer!

However, unfortunately…

As one of the most likely buyers, Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Tang Yuehua had already returned to the Clear Sky Sect and reported Yu Yuanzhen's proposed deal to their father, Tang Zhen, asking whether they should accept.

But ever since Tang Chen had left the Clear Sky Sect over ten years ago to pursue Bo Saixi and chase after the path to godhood at rank 100, the sect had lost its strongest pillar.

Without Tang Chen—the former number one powerhouse of the continent, the invincible force on land—the Clear Sky Sect could no longer maintain its former prestige.

As the new sect master, Tang Zhen had been carefully withdrawing the sect's influence and keeping a low profile, avoiding any unnecessary attention.

In short, he had been playing it safe.

And sensing that something was off about Yu Yuanzhen's proposed deal, Tang Zhen outright refused to have any dealings with him.

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect rejecting the offer and no response from the Clear Sky Sect, Yu Yuanzhen was left with no choice but to try his luck in Heaven Dou City.

He sought out powerful spirit master clans such as the Xuanwu Tortoise Clan, the Nine Heart Begonia Clan, and the Tianshui Clan, hoping to find a buyer for Bibi Dong.

However, for the esteemed clan leader of one of the three upper sects—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—to personally go around marketing a twin martial soul, innate full spirit power, evil soul master woman…

No matter how one looked at it, it just seemed bizarre!

Nobody was foolish.

Every clan leader he approached simply responded with, "We'll have to think about it."

But after thinking for two or three days, not a single one had given him an answer.

By then, Qian Xunji had already sent a blank letter to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

This terrified Yu Yuanzhen to his core.

Panicking, he immediately prepared to release Bibi Dong.

…

In a pitch-black secret chamber, damp and suffocatingly small.

Bibi Dong lay on a stone bed, her disheveled hair hanging messily over her face. She was in a miserable state, her ragged clothes barely covering her body, and a foul stench emanated from her.

Her limbs were bound by heavy iron chains, restricting her movements.

After being betrayed by Yu Xiaogang…

After enduring relentless torment and abuse from Yu Dalong, the clan elders, and Yu Yuanzhen himself…

She had been locked away in this dark, humid prison…

For nearly a year.

Bibi Dong had now completely succumbed to darkness. Her mind had utterly collapsed, leaving her deranged, hysterical, and filled with boundless hatred.

The only thing keeping her alive now was her overwhelming hatred and resentment toward Yu Xiaogang and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

'No! I cannot die! I must live! I must take revenge on that damned Yu Xiaogang! I must take revenge on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!'

Inside the cramped secret chamber, Bibi Dong lay on the stone bed, her hands clenched tightly. Her eyes, staring at the ceiling, were filled with an unimaginable depth of hatred and resentment, almost tangible in the air around her.

If the Rakshasa God had seen her at this moment…

With her exceptional talent, her twin martial souls that perfectly matched the Rakshasa God's position, and this boundless resentment that cursed the heavens, the earth, and even the air itself…

She was practically a natural-born Rakshasa God candidate!

Suddenly, with a rumbling noise, the door to the secret chamber was opened.

A sliver of light finally broke into the pitch-black chamber.

Soon, Yu Yuanzhen stepped inside with his hands clasped behind his back.

Upon seeing Bibi Dong lying on the stone bed, her eyes brimming with hatred and venom, Yu Yuanzhen frowned slightly.

However, he merely let out a cold snort and waved his hand, breaking the chains that bound her.

Then, he took her out.

"Clean her up and change her into a fresh set of clothes," Yu Yuanzhen ordered two maids in a deep voice.

Since he was forced to release Bibi Dong due to pressure from Spirit Hall, he couldn't afford to leave any evidence that might be used against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Before throwing her out, he had to ensure she was properly washed, dressed in clean clothes, and even treated for her injuries.

Otherwise, if she were to die near the clan's territory…

It would be just like having mud on one's pants—even if it wasn't filth, everyone would assume it was!

"Bibi Dong, for the sake of Xiaogang, I've decided to let you go," Yu Yuanzhen said coldly. "But I hope you won't go around spreading rumors about what happened in the chamber."

"Otherwise… hmph!"

Before the maids took her away, he gave her a final warning.

After experiencing the cruel reality firsthand, the now-darkened Bibi Dong had at least gained some sense.

Though her eyes still burned with deep-seated hatred and venom, she didn't scream or shout about revenge, nor did she declare that she would expose what had happened.

But this incident had become the greatest darkness and trauma of her life.

In the novel, even when Qian Xunji alone had tormented her in the secret chamber, she had kept silent about it until her death.

And this time, in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, she had suffered at the hands of an entire group rather than just one person—far worse than what Qian Xunji had done!

Such darkness and humiliation… there was no way she would casually speak of it.

But the hatred and resentment in her heart only grew stronger.

Seeing that Bibi Dong remained silent, Yu Yuanzhen sneered and didn't pay much attention.

From what he had observed over this period, he was certain she wouldn't speak out.

As for worrying about her seeking revenge?

Hah! This was a foolish woman who had been completely manipulated by his weak and useless son, Yu Xiaogang.

And now, she was nothing more than a cripple whose spirit power had been abolished.

Revenge against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

What a joke!

Yu Yuanzhen had never even considered such a possibility.

After ensuring that Bibi Dong was properly cleaned, changed into fresh clothes, and healed by the clan's auxiliary healing-type spirit masters, he ordered for her to be taken away and thrown far from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory.

"Get lost! The farther you stay from our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the better!"
