When Yu Xiaoheng and Yu Yuanzhen reappeared at the edge of the backstage area, whispers spread like wildfire.
"He's back! He actually came back!"
"I thought he had deserted his post!"
"Look, the one next to him is Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of Blue Lightning Sect! Could it be... that the sect leader forced him to come back?"
"Look at the faces of that father and son, they look absolutely terrible, that's for sure!"
Countless gazes, a mixture of disdain, speculation, and schadenfreude, were cast upon Yu Xiaoheng.
Many Soul Masters found it rather dull.
I thought he was a brilliant young prodigy who would put on a fierce battle.
Who would have thought that he was a coward who was so scared at the crucial moment of the finals that he wanted to run away.
"It seems that all those rumors before, such as the heaven-defying one-against-seven, and the unparalleled in the world, were just hype from the Blue Lightning Sect!"
"That's right, when it comes to getting serious, their true colors are revealed!"
The discussion grew louder and louder.
However, on the other side of the VIP seating area.
The representatives of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Haotian School, and the royal families of the Tiandou and Xingluo Empires all remained calm.
They knew perfectly well that the grim expressions on the faces of the Yu family father and son were not due to any rumors of desertion.
because……
Not far away, several core disciples of the Haotian Sect were having a pleasant conversation with Dai Yutian, the crown prince of the Xingluo Empire.
The content of their communication was enough to shake the balance between the two great empires.
The Star Luo Empire will increase its trade activities with the Heaven Dou Empire.
Among these, all the massive businesses related to caravan escort and Soul Master hiring will be packaged together and exclusively handled by the Clear Sky Sect!
The global situation is common knowledge.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always been a staunch ally of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Haotian Sect, however, subtly leans towards the Star Luo Empire.
As for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, they have always been adept at playing both sides, maintaining a delicate neutrality while simultaneously reaping the benefits from both empires.
But now, the Clear Sky Sect's actions are tantamount to stabbing a knife into the Blue Lightning Sect's money bag!
The fact that the Star Luo Empire handed over such a huge share of commerce and soul masters to the Clear Sky Sect is a blow to the Blue Lightning Sect's sphere of influence and economic revenue!
What is the Haotian Sect trying to do?
Aren't they afraid of completely offending the giant dragon, Blue Lightning Sect?
No one understood the Haotian Sect's scheme.
They only know a little bit.
The price offered by the Haotian Sect to secure this agreement was outrageously cheap.
The Haotian Sect is essentially bleeding itself dry.
They themselves don't earn many copper soul coins.
It may even require several times the amount of manpower and resources to be invested.
Just to grab that extra 70% or 80% of the profits?
This makes no sense at all in terms of business logic.
Unless... their goal wasn't money from the beginning.
Chapter 121 Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring! The entire arena fell silent.
In the VIP section, one of the hot-tempered elders of the Blue Lightning Sect finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He suddenly stood up, took a step forward, and stared intently in the direction of Haotian Sect.
"What does the Haotian Sect mean by this?!"
As a result, Blue Electric will lose a lot of business due to the price war.
However, on the Haotian Sect's side, the leading disciple lazily raised his eyelids.
"joke?"
"My Haotian Sect is cooperating with the Star Luo Empire. When did it become your Blue Lightning Sect's place to interfere?"
Another disciple chimed in.
"Our sect will consider the profits as it comes. Instead of worrying about us, elders should take care of the Blue Lightning Sect's own affairs first."
"you!"
Elder Lan Dian was so angry that his hair and beard stood on end and his face turned red, but he was rendered speechless by those two sentences.
Commercial cooperation between sects is always based on mutual consent.
The Haotian Sect is willing to lose money to gain publicity, is it any of your business, the Blue Lightning Sect's, to interfere?
That doesn't make sense.
In an instant, the expressions on the faces of all the Blue Lightning Sect members turned extremely grim.
On the other side, Dai Yutian, the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, sat upright like a mountain, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.
But his mind was also filled with doubts.
He was well aware of the Haotian Sect's intentions—to suppress the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
The reasons are also quite valid.
Yu Xiaoheng's talent is too terrifying. His first soul ring is a thousand years old, and his martial soul has even evolved.
If these individuals were to grow up, their future top-tier combat power would likely surpass that of the Haotian Sect's successors.
It is reasonable to weaken the overall strength of the Blue Lightning Sect in advance in order to maintain a balance of power.
Can……
Why is the Haotian Sect so certain?
What makes them so certain that this will happen in the "distant future"?
There are many geniuses in Douluo Continent, but how many of them are sure to grow into great talents?
Therefore, they are willing to make their disciples suffer needlessly and waste a lot of human resources.
Their posture was as if they had witnessed Yu Xiaoheng surpassing Tang Hao in the future.
"inevitable?"
Dai Yutian's hand, which was holding the teacup, paused slightly in mid-air.
In this world, all "inevitability" stems from information unknown to ordinary people.
Could it be that the Haotian Sect possesses some secrets about Yu Xiaoheng, or even about the Blue Lightning Sect?
Upon thinking of this, Dai Yutian's eyes suddenly turned sinister.
Previously, he had simply cooperated with the Haotian Sect to shut down the Blue Lightning Sect members.
At this moment, his attitude suddenly changed.
If the Haotian Sect truly deduced Yu Xiaoheng's potential based on some exclusive intelligence, it was even beyond Xingluo's imagination...
Therefore, the Dai family royal family must be even more vigilant!
In this world, the strong ultimately reign supreme.
Star Luo, Heaven Dou, the three upper sects, and the Spirit Hall.
Once the balance of power between them is disrupted, it will inevitably trigger a massive upheaval.
Xingluo absolutely does not want to see the Blue Lightning Sect's momentum continue to grow unchecked!
"Snapped."
The teacup was slammed down.
Dai Yutian suddenly stood up and walked towards the Haotian Sect members.
His tone was decisive and resolute.
"Gentlemen, the agreement we discussed earlier does not need to be consulted with the King again."
"I can now take charge of drafting documents."
"After presenting it to Father for review, it can be formally signed!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Haotian Sect were instantly overjoyed, yet also felt a sense of helplessness at the loss of their interests. In the end, they quickly bowed and agreed.
The expressions on the faces of the Blue Lightning Sect members were beyond just ugly.
it is good!
The Haotian Sect is suffering heavy losses, inflicting a thousand wounds on the enemy while losing eight hundred of their own!
A price war with no bottom line!
Despicable people, despicable themselves, and despicable industry!
poisonous!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Blue Lightning members couldn't afford to lash out, and could only swallow their humiliation and frustration.
This sudden turn of events stunned the members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family who had been watching the spectacle.
On a snowy night, as the future emperor of Tiandou, how sharp was his mind?
In a flash, he figured out the same key point as Dai Yutian.
He suddenly turned his head and met the eyes of several deacons from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School not far away.
No words are needed.
