Chapter 435: The Conspiracy of the Old Generation
"What? You said Erlong, Yu Xiaogang, and Dai Mubai are missing?!"

Flanders' eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears: "Are you kidding me? This is Tiandou City!"

"Sure enough, even you don't know."

The soul barrier set up in advance effectively prevented information leakage, but it also made his ears buzz with the reflected sound. But now there was no time to comfort his suffering ears. Flanders' answer made Yu Luomian close his eyes in pain.

There was no doubt that he loved his daughter deeply. Even though their relationship was more bizarre and complicated than that of Dai Hao and Huo Yuhao ten thousand years later, it did not affect his fatherly love at all.

Her mother was a prostitute, so it was impossible for her to marry into the noble Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan as a concubine. Without the awakening of the representative Blue Lightning Tyrant Rex, in this era where status is defined by martial spirits, Liu Erlong was destined to be unable to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan by her own strength.

Just imagine, if Tang San had not awakened the Clear Sky Hammer back then, even if the Blue Silver Emperor was also a top-level martial spirit, if he dared to return to the Clear Sky Sect, the elders of the Clear Sky Sect would have broken his legs and thrown him out.

There are a lot of people with the last name Tang in the whole mainland. Without the Clear Sky Hammer, what if you dare to say you are Tang Hao’s son today with a piece of grass, and what if someone comes with a sword tomorrow and claims to be Tang Chen’s son?
So what if it's a inherited soul bone? God knows if it was because of good luck that they found Tang Hao dead in some corner and broke it off from his corpse.

Her martial soul is a fire dragon instead of a blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Even though they are both dragon-type martial souls, Yu Luomian can use this as an excuse to not acknowledge his daughter.

Without living expenses, the newborn Liu Erlong and her mother who is unable to work will surely die in this cruel world where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

If Yu Luomian was a little more ruthless, it wouldn't be difficult for her to personally kill the man and erase this dark history.

But he didn't. Except for not being able to give her a name, Yu Luomian fully fulfilled his duties as a father and a husband.

Not only did he find a place outside to raise the mother and daughter, but he also considered that the surname might put unnecessary pressure on his daughter, so he let Erlong take her mother's surname "Liu" instead of his own surname "Yu".

He interrupted her wedding with her cousin Yu Xiaogang, didn't force her to marry for the family alliance, took on the pressure from the Spirit Hall when she lost her mind and went "kill kill kill" in the Soul Beast Forest, and funded her to establish the Blue Tyrant Academy which made no money and could not recruit anyone.
All the above signs indicate that Yu Luomian fully fulfilled his fatherly responsibilities to his daughter and was not even so good to the son born to his wife.

It's a pity that Liu Erlong didn't appreciate it. In addition to being hostile to her father who interrupted her pursuit of true love, she also became hostile to her mother who stood on her father's side.

No matter how disobedient a daughter is, she is still a daughter.

"Dean Yu Yu, could it be that you made a mistake?" Hesitant, Flanders almost said the title he had always dreamed of in the past.

The next moment he regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "I know Erlong. She is a leader among the Soul Saints and is also the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy. Whether out of strength or sense of responsibility, it is impossible for her to disappear without a reason."

"Could it be that she went out to relax because she lost the game?"

"Impossible," Yu Luomian shook her head. "Ever since the establishment of Lanba Academy, Erlong has never left Tiandou City. Even when she was promoted to Soul Saint a few years ago and needed to go out to hunt souls, she would have entrusted the affairs of the academy to the vice-president in advance."

“Not to mention that this is a critical period.”

After not sleeping for a whole night, even with the strength of a Soul Douluo, Yu Luomian could not hide his old age and looked extremely haggard.

He whispered, "The influence of artificial soul bones is amazing. All parties have expressed their desire to attend today's finals. The list of VIP seats that had not been announced was finally drawn up the night before yesterday, and the invitations were distributed yesterday morning."

"And Erlong's invitation is in my hand."

"invitation?!"

After thinking for a moment, Flanders' face suddenly changed. Obviously, he had understood the logic.

Prince Xue Qinghe, who is known for his gentle and elegant appearance and is very prestigious among ordinary people, joins hands with Gu You, a theoretical master who is elusive and deeply loved by the soul master community.

As long as all the forces have a pair of eyes that can see, they can see that the future of the Tiandou Empire in the next twenty years will be bright.

Therefore, the invitation to the VIP seat of "Tian Dou Star Championship" naturally became a "ticket to the new world" in the eyes of most people.

Second-rate forces without any hard power can't even see the door to the VIP seats.

For example, Tang Yuehua, the hostess of Yuexuan, who had enjoyed the exclusive VIP seat in the last round, was only qualified to sit in the same row with ordinary audiences today.

Hu Yanzhen is the leader of a sect after all. Although he is a bit stupid, he is still quite smart.

He established friendship with Flanders and agreed to Huyanli's overtures to Gu You, all in order to curry favor with the new leader of the Tiandou Empire who was about to take office.

Knowing how precious the invitation was, and not believing that anyone would reject the royal family's kindness, when the invitation to the finals was not successfully delivered to the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, the messenger in charge of delivering the invitation skipped the vice dean, who had zero presence, and chose to hand it over to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, the man behind the scenes.

Finally it fell into the hands of the second-in-command, Yu Luomian.

Weighing the two identical invitations in his hand, Yu Luomian was stunned. He immediately sent his men to Lan Ba ​​Academy to ask Liu Erlong for an explanation.

The academy you had high hopes for was eliminated in the first round, so it's understandable that you're in a bad mood and closed the door to visitors. But the envoys of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were not there, and those who didn't know would think that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan looked down on the Tiandou Empire.

"Erlong is already an adult. If not for the family, he should do something for himself."

Yu Luomian was still thinking this before noon, but she never expected to receive such shocking bad news after noon.

——Since she walked into the cabin in the woods the night after the preliminary round, there has been no news from Liu Erlong and no one has seen her since.

The subordinates sent said: "The storage soul guide device was not found. The personal belongings that were not stored in the soul guide device were all complete. The clothes and accessories were neatly arranged, and there was no sign of rummaging. The room had been cleaned and looked clean on the surface, but there was a lingering smell of blood. After a careful search, dried blood with a dragon scent was found in the corner of the floor cracks."

Also brought back a rumor.

"Maybe the dean couldn't stand the loneliness and got emotional, so he took advantage of the dark night and eloped with his kept gigolo."

The above remarks came from the Blue Tyrant Academy team, which lost the game and was ignored. They were widely circulated among the students of Blue Tyrant Academy, and even some teachers had heard of them.

To be fair, everyone at Blue Bully Academy admires Liu Erlong.

Regardless of strength or gender, Liu Erlong's admission policy of only accepting ordinary people and his tough attitude towards the outside world have won him recognition and love from students and teachers.

But this year is special. It has nothing to do with other people, but purely because Liu Erlong has become unlike Liu Erlong.

Arranging a parachuted pretty boy to be the leader of the academy would be one thing, but unconditionally covering up all of his actions is truly intolerable.

What's the use of being a former master of martial spirit research? Just relying on an article full of loopholes, "The Ten Core Competitiveness of Martial Spirits", is totally not enough to suppress the new generation of spirit masters who grew up reading ancient travel articles.

If it weren't for the fact that the downhill tiger he brought was too powerful and brainwashed the former head of the academy, Tai Long, the strength of the great soul master and the tactical concept that was ten years behind, the other students would have united to rebel long ago. The ugly rumors were the outburst of the long-accumulated accumulation of the people. They would rather be expelled from the academy than see the Blue Tyrant Academy being torn apart by the hands of the pretty boy.

As a father, Yu Luomian had reason to be angry about the rumors that slandered his daughter. But he had never been as angry as he was today. He would rather Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang elope and have a child than learn that she might have
It must be admitted that Yu Xiaogang's deeply rooted image covered up his behavior to some extent. No one thought that he was the one who attacked Liu Erlong, and they just thought that he might have been killed by the attacker.

As for the defeated prince Dai Mubai, no one cares about him now. Whether he is missing or running away, as long as there is no direct evidence to prove that he is related to the Tiandou royal family, it is not worth investing effort.

"Two dragons."

Thinking of the unexpected event that Erlong might encounter, Flanders felt dizzy. He gritted his teeth, raised his head and asked, "Dean Yu, what do you need me to do?"

Yu Luomian turned his head and looked at Xue Qinghe who was still communicating intimately with Thorny Porpoise Douluo, and said: "Just now I asked the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's Ning Sect Master to inquire about Erlong's news in the soul master world. Flanders, I hope you can convince His Highness to mobilize the imperial forces to help me find the whereabouts of Erlong."

"No matter if it's good or bad, as long as there is news, in return"

Yu Luomian closed his eyes and threw out his chips: "I will do my best to convince my eldest brother and other elders that no matter what happens within a hundred years, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan will unconditionally support the Tiandou Empire."

"Do your best to convince Big Brother and the other elders to agree to join forces with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The two major sects will jointly deal with the threat from the Spirit Hall."

Repeating the bargaining chips given by Yu Luomian, Gu Rong snorted coldly: "Feng Zhi, let's ignore him. The dignified 'Wang Long's Right Arm' has the nerve to bring out such a shabby trick of getting something for nothing."

"."

Looking at the two people who were still communicating not far away, even though he couldn't hear the sound, but from Flanders' increasingly sharp eyes, Ning Fengzhi judged that he had taken the bait thrown by Yu Luomian.

"Sure enough, there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames." Ning Fengzhi chuckled and shook his head, and couldn't help but admired: "As expected of the 'Wang Long's Right Arm', he has a hand."

"Fengzhi?"

Before Gu Rong could react, Ning Fengzhi had to explain: "Uncle Gu, I think you guessed wrong. Yu Luomian's purpose is not to get something for nothing, but to put on a white wolf skin and make others mistakenly think that he can get something for nothing."

"What do you mean?"

Instead of giving a direct answer, Ning Fengzhi asked, "Uncle Gu, how do you think the Xue family compares to the Dai family?"

"Yeah, about the same."

Gu Rong blinked and said, "Although the Xue family's descendants are not as powerful as the Dai family as soul masters, they are united. Others who have not inherited the throne will assist the emperor in managing the empire as "princes."

"Although the inheritance method that the Dai family is proud of can select the most outstanding heirs, it has too much internal friction and is likely to lead to a shortage of manpower after the new emperor ascends the throne. It takes time to cultivate trustworthy confidants."

"What about national strength?"

“It should be about the same.”

Gu Rong thought for a moment and said, "The Dai family of the White Tiger Martial Spirit advocates the law of the jungle, which makes the Xingluo Empire a martial arts-loving country. Although the economy is average, it greatly improves the combat effectiveness of the army, and it is no problem for a soldier to fight two enemies at once."

"Tiandou is just the opposite. Influenced by the Swan Spirit, Tiandou, under the leadership of the Xue family, pays more attention to the elegant field of literature, and its economic conditions are far better than those of the Xingluo Empire. Although the combat effectiveness of the army is relatively average, it has a large number, which is enough to deal with Xingluo."

"That's right," Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Tiandou and Xingluo are like weights on both ends of a scale. It is precisely because of their equal weights that the Douluo Continent has the stable situation of two empires fighting against each other today."

"The question is, if one side suddenly gains a new weight that cannot be ignored, and the other side cannot produce an equal weight, how will the situation change?"

Ning Fengzhi stared at the artificial soul bone on the display case with a deep gaze.

Among the large group of Soul Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, the reason why Yu Luomian was able to sit in the position of second in command was not because of his brother Yu Yuanzhen's designation, but because of his own real talents and knowledge.

Compared to Yu Yuanzhen, who has outstanding talents and was promoted to the title quickly to succeed the sect leader, Yu Luomian's talent is slightly inferior, and Soul Douluo is his limit.

But he was born smart and flexible. When his strength was equal to that of the elders, he took over the responsibility of managing the sect from his brother who was not good at management, and actually fulfilled the obligations of the sect master.

In the past, Thunder Douluo, nicknamed "Wang Long", dominated the world. As his right-hand man, Yu Luomian was named "Wang Long's Right Arm".

After sensing the wind that led to the change in the soul master world many years ago, Yu Tianheng was arranged to enroll in Tiandou Royal Academy to keep up with the pace of change. Now, Yu Luomian has sensed a new wind again and made a bold decision to bypass Yu Yuanzhen and grab a good position for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan.

Even if the price is to dig open your own wounds with your own hands.

It was true that he was using the power of the empire to find Liu Erlong, and it was also true that he was trying to persuade the sect to support the Tiandou Empire. After all, greed is human nature, and when the Tiandou Empire tasted the sweetness of the support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, it would not let go easily a hundred years later.

There is a price to pay to retain the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan. For soul masters, nothing is more attractive than artificial soul bones.

Ning Fengzhi believed that Xue Qinghe could see through Yu Luomian's plan, and he also believed that Xue Qinghe would not refuse even if he knew his purpose.

No one knows the true identity of Master Gu You, and even the Spirit Hall, which once had a pleasant cooperation, has not been favored by him. When the Spirit Hall and the Xingluo Empire covet artificial soul bone technology in the future, the support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan will be particularly important.

Yu Luomian got the clue of his daughter's disappearance, Tiandou Empire got the support of Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan got the artificial soul bone. As expected of "Wang Long's Right Arm", he entered the game with his own hands.

After taking a moment to sort out his thoughts, Gu Rong asked, "What should we do then? Give up the search for Liu Erlong?"

"No, we have to help with this."

Ning Fengzhi touched his chin and said, "There are many suspicious points in the disappearance process. With the strength of a Soul Sage, there are no traces of fighting left in the house. The person who did it must be not only cautious, but also powerful. "

"Notify the remaining disciples to step up their guard, and the disciples traveling outside to fully cooperate with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan in finding Liu Erlong. Uncle Gu, I'll trouble you for the time being."

"Yes, Sect Master."

-----------

ps: Liu Erlong's surname and the money she paid to raise her and her daughter are indeed in the original text. If the original story is regarded as the real world, Liu Erlong's mother should still be alive in the early stage without any disease or disaster. As for the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and the death of Yu Luomian (the setting of the novel), I estimate that she will most likely die in the turbulent times.

Although the Third Young Master described that Liu Erlong fainted due to the great shock when the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan was destroyed, he did not mention her father or her mother, so I have no idea why she was fainting.
