Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

After Yang Ping'an left, Meng Shenji looked at the other three with some lingering fear, especially trying to find a way to wake up Flander of Shrek Academy, since he was the real dean of Shrek Academy.

After Meng Shenji injected his soul power into Flander's body, he discovered that Flander's physical condition was very bad. Although Yang Ping'an's attack seemed ordinary, Flander was only a Soul Douluo and was seriously injured. Many of his meridians were broken, and his strength would probably be greatly reduced in the future.

After Flander received a significant amount of soul power from the Dream God Machine, he slowly woke up, but he was still coughing up blood, in pain all over his body, and his soul power had even dropped considerably. It seemed that his path as a Soul Master in this lifetime had been cut short by more than half.

However, ignoring the excruciating pain, Flander quickly glanced at Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong beside him. Liu Erlong was already decapitated and was beyond dead.

Meanwhile, his good brother Yu Xiaogang also seemed to have damaged meridians all over his body, and there was not a trace of soul power in his body. He was just like an ordinary person.

Thanks to the two's best efforts in treating him, Yu Xiaogang slowly regained consciousness: "Xiaogang, how are you? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Yu Xiaogang carefully examined his body and found that he had no soul power left. His martial soul, Luo Sanpao, seemed to have completely disappeared as well. He had become an ordinary person, especially since his body was not nourished by soul power. He looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang seemed to finally realize what had happened to him, spitting out a mouthful of blood: "Yang Ping'an, you are so cruel. You ruined my path as a Soul Master, you ruined everything I had."

Suddenly, Yu Yu Xiao Gang thought of something and hurriedly crawled with all his might to Liu Erlong's body, touching Liu Erlong's face, not even noticing that his hands were covered in blood.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was filled with despair: "Erlong, Yang Ping'an, you killed my Erlong. I swear I will not rest until I avenge this."

In the end, Yu Xiaogang was so angry that he vomited blood and lay flat on the ground like a disabled old man.

Despite his injuries, Flander gathered up Liu Erlong's shattered body and then carried Yu Xiaogang on his back, struggling towards Tiandou City.

In this battle, the once-golden trio suffered one death, one serious injury, and one crippled, making it difficult for them to maintain their foothold in the world of soul masters in the future.

Yang Ping'an, who was hiding in the shadows, watched the group leave before sighing and departing.

Normally, given the strength of the four people present, Yang Ping'an could easily have killed them all. However, Meng Shenji and Flander's attitude at Tianshui Academy saved them. In a sense, the two were relatively pure soul masters and relatively good educators. It's just a pity that they were caught in this vortex because of their respective circumstances. At least they did not bully others at Tianshui Academy.

Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, is in a much worse situation. After his martial soul was devoured by the golden dragon, he will probably be an ordinary person for the rest of his life. Moreover, Yu Xiaogang is already nearly sixty years old and probably won't live for another ten years. If it weren't for some fear of Bibi Dong, Yang Ping'an would have killed him directly.

The reason for specifically targeting these four individuals was twofold: firstly, to make an example of them, showing that not just anyone can act recklessly; secondly, if these minor characters dared to scheme against and seek out him, it would be too lenient of him not to give them a warning.

On the other hand, after the Golden Dragon Martial Soul was fully awakened, Yang Ping'an felt that his strength was unprecedented. He had now reached the peak of level 96. In addition, with the powerful soul skill he had just acquired, he wanted to see what measures the half-crippled Tang Chen could take, or what actions the Clear Sky Sect would take. If they really dared to provoke him, then he would have no choice but to take drastic measures in advance.

The three major powers of Tiandou City were all extremely surprised at this moment. They originally wanted to rely on Tianshui Academy to find Yang Ping'an, but now Yang Ping'an actually appeared alone and even dared to attack Shrek Academy and the guest elder of the Tiandou royal family. It was simply unimaginable.

The newly appointed Emperor Xueyu of the Heavenly Dou Empire had an extremely gloomy expression as he listened carefully to Meng Shenji's report, feeling a sense of unease.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Dou Royal Family's greatest reliance is Meng Shenji, but Meng Shenji couldn't even withstand a single move from Yang Ping'an. Clearly, this was just a minor punishment. If he dares to make another move, he will probably kill Meng Shenji directly next time.

Emperor Xueyu hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Mr. Meng, since Mr. Yu Xiaogang is temporarily unable to conduct Soul Master training, please take charge of this matter for now. Also, inform the Haotian Sect of this news as soon as possible, as this matter is beyond our capabilities."

Meng Shenji still had a trace of fear on his face, clearly showing that this forcibly promoted Title Douluo was still full of fear of Yang Ping'an.

Inside the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen had already taken Tang San out for training. Tang Xiao's expression was extremely grim. It should be noted that the three members of the Golden Iron Triangle had a very close relationship with the Clear Sky Sect. Among them, Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher, and now he had been injured into a cripple by Yang Ping'an. The conflict between the two sides seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

Tang Lie seemed furious: "That despicable Yang Ping'an first ambushed Tang Hao, and now he's ambushed Yu Xiaogang and the others. If I were to run into him, I would make sure he dies a horrible death."

Tang Xiao's face darkened slightly: "Seventh Elder, this matter needs to be considered carefully. According to Meng Shenji and Flander's descriptions, Yang Ping'an's strength has probably increased again. In the last battle in the Star Dou Great Forest, even I didn't gain any advantage. You should not underestimate him in the future."

Tang Lie snorted coldly: "He's just a sneaky coward. What's there to be afraid of? He didn't dare to make a fair move from beginning to end, which shows he's a coward."

Tang Xiao shook his head: "Seventh Elder, you should have seen Yang Ping'an make a move. In reality, he should be no less than me. Apart from the Ancestor, probably no one in the entire Haotian Sect can do anything to him. So we should not take any action before the Ancestor returns."

Tang Lie asked, somewhat puzzled, "Are we just going to let this go? He's clearly been hiding at Tianshui Academy lately. I'll go to Tianshui Academy again and see what those elemental academies have to say next."

Seeing that Tang Xiao's face was gloomy and he seemed about to lose his temper, the Second Elder quickly said, "Seventh Brother, don't be so hot-tempered. Let the Sect Master finish explaining before we take any action."

Tang Lie then fell silent, looking rather sullen.

Tang Xiao sighed, "Elders, many of us should have seen Yang Ping'an take action back then. With Yang Ping'an's strength, he has already killed Liu Erlong. If he wanted to, Meng Shenji, Flander, and Yu Xiaogang would have no hope of surviving. Obviously, he only wanted to take revenge on Liu Erlong and intimidate us from beginning to end."

"If we dare to send anyone to Tianshui Academy again, I'm afraid no matter who it is, they will never return. At that time, our Haotian Sect will be attacked from both sides. You should know that our biggest enemy now is the Martial Soul Empire."

Ever since Tang Chen took Tang San away, especially after the Spirit Hall established its kingdom, Tang Xiao and the others have been under tremendous pressure. Although Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu had an agreement, Tang Chen was clearly injured. If anything were to happen, the Clear Sky Sect would probably be doomed.

The Second Elder hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Sect Master, what should we do now? We can't just let Yang Ping'an cause trouble. This would damage the prestige of our Haotian Sect."

Tang Xiao sighed: "Last time I fought Yang Ping'an, in terms of pure strength, we were evenly matched. If we wanted to kill him, I would probably need at least three more elders. But I can't leave the current situation, so let's wait for the ancestor to return before making a decision."

"As for the Elemental Academy, we don't need to concern ourselves with it anymore. If we really anger Yang Ping'an, our Haotian Sect will never have peace again."

Tang Xiao actually had something else he didn't say: Tang Chen was also seriously injured, and if something were to happen because of Yang Ping'an, it would be a loss.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Rongrong were together, seemingly discussing the news.

After three years of recuperation, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has recovered a certain amount of strength. Bone Douluo has basically recovered to his peak strength, and the overall development of the sect is quite good.

Even after three years of recuperation, Sword Douluo's injuries were only mostly healed. He barely possessed the combat power of a Title Douluo through his swordsmanship. As for the remaining injuries, he probably wouldn't be able to fully recover in this lifetime, let alone return to his peak condition.

After hearing the news, Bone Douluo seemed somewhat indignant: "What exactly does Yang Ping'an mean? Not only did he ambush and kill Tang Hao, but now he's also targeting the Golden Iron Triangle. Does he really intend to be an enemy of the Clear Sky Sect to the death?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Uncle Gu, you're overthinking it. Yang Ping'an is now locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Haotian Sect. It all comes down to whose methods are more sophisticated and whose strength is greater."

Bone Douluo was a little puzzled: "Then what should we do now? Those people from the Elemental Academy are about to move to the far north, and then we probably won't be able to help them anymore."

Ning Fengzhi said indifferently, "What does all this have to do with us? After these years of development, we have probably only recovered about one-third of our peak strength. We are not competitive at all. If it weren't for the upcoming war between the Spirit Empire and the Heavenly Water Academy, I wouldn't have sent anyone to the Heavenly Water Academy."

After three years of low-key development under separate rule, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had only about 1,500 Soul Masters, barely recovering one-third of its peak combat power. However, its wealth was far less than before, having lost Sword Douluo, and it was no longer as powerful as it used to be.

"Rongrong, you're also handling sect affairs now. What's your opinion on Yang Ping'an?"

Ning Rongrong thought carefully for a while before speaking: "Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, I don't think Yang Ping'an acted without reason. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has only recovered some strength after recuperation. There is no need for us to join forces with the Clear Sky School to deal with Yang Ping'an. After all, this is their own grudge."

Ning Fengzhi seemed somewhat gratified upon hearing this: "Rongrong has grown up and knows how to consider the sect. Now tell me why you didn't want to participate?"

Ning Rongrong shook her head: "I'm just going by intuition. I've known Yang Ping'an before. Yang Ping'an always seems extremely calm, and he never shows his true strength. If he wants to do something, he will never leave any loose ends. I don't think things are that simple."

"Although our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has recovered some of its strength, it is best not to make enemies of anyone, otherwise we may easily get burned."

Ning Fengzhi nodded: "Rongrong, you're starting to look like a sect leader now, but you haven't thought of the key point."

Seeing a hint of doubt in Ning Rongrong's eyes, Ning Fengzhi sighed: "This Yang Ping'an has been missing for eight years since the Soul Master Competition. There's been no news of him in the entire Soul Master world. This shows how deeply he's hidden himself. There must even be some mysterious force behind him. You know, a rogue cultivator can't hide for that long." (End of Chapter)
