Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

Even more outrageous is that he wasn't a dragon, but a princess who had been kidnapped.

He was actually courted by a female dragon!

So, Qian Renxue is actually a hero?

Pshaw! No, that's not right!!!

Calm down! Lu Mingfei! Calm down!

Is now the time to criticize overused and clichéd jokes?

"Farewell!"

Lu Mingfei immediately returned the dragon scale to Di Tian and then turned and ran.

The ultimate limit of the eighth-order instant in dragon bone form was fully unleashed.

A white cone flashed by, and the entire forest was swept away by a terrifying gale.

"My lord, Lord Lu Mingfei has run away. He's run away." Di Tian spoke cautiously; he too had several wives.

Such a direct confession would make even a dragon run away!

Chapter 247 Tang Chenxiao's Past

Silence is the starry forest tonight.

Xiao Wu and the Demon King had no idea what had happened. All they saw was Lu Mingfei disappear in an instant at a speed many times faster than being chased by a dog.

As they watched the sky change from sunny to cloudy to overcast, and then to thunderstorms, they lowered their heads in dismay, not daring to utter a single word, or even to glance at it.

It's best to avoid this level of excitement, or even watch it, otherwise no one can protect you if something goes wrong.

The Silver Dragon King's thoughts lingered for a long time before he slowly asked Di Tian, ​​his voice filled with doubt:

"Di Tian, ​​why did he run away?"

The Silver Dragon King's decision was not made on a whim, but after careful consideration. Isn't a marriage alliance the best choice to solidify the relationship between the two sides?

At that time, they will all be able to become supreme god-kings without any scruples, and ruling the entire universe will be no problem. Why would anyone refuse such a good thing?

Di Tian wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, feigning composure, thinking to himself that even he, let alone Lu Mingfei, was terrified upon first hearing it.

However, upon closer examination, this does seem to be the best option. No alliance is more stable than marriage. Once they become husband and wife, their affairs become family matters, and they naturally do not need to worry about issues such as betrayal and suspicion. They share both prosperity and adversity.

Moreover, the dragon race in their world was already on the verge of extinction. With the two dragon gods leading the way in procreation, not only could the race continue, but they would also have a better chance of conquering the realm of gods in the future.

Thinking of this, Di Tian let out a barely perceptible sigh and nodded, saying:

“My lord, a marriage alliance is a major event and cannot be decided so hastily. In addition, my lord has met Lord Lu Mingfei twice, but Lord Lu Mingfei has never seen my lord’s true face on either occasion. It is normal for him to have concerns.”

Di Tian racked his brains and could only come up with this much. Asking a male dragon to teach another male dragon how to woo him was simply asking a question that was way too much.

"I see." The Silver Dragon King pondered for a moment, and it seemed to be true. For a marriage alliance, both strength and appearance were very important.

Just like today, she made this decision only after seeing Lu Mingfei's dragon form. If Lu Mingfei had grown up to look like Di Tian, ​​she probably wouldn't have agreed.

"Di Tian, ​​you are absolutely right." The Silver Dragon King nodded in approval.

Upon hearing this, Di Tian breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he continued speaking:

"By the way, Master, this transformed Soft Bone Rabbit has a close relationship with Lord Lu Mingfei and has lived in the human world for many years. You can ask her for some information about Lord Lu Mingfei's deeds or preferences as a reference."

"You make a good point. Then bring her to see me." After saying his last words, the seven-colored luster on the Silver Dragon King's scales instantly dimmed.

Di Tian turned around and glanced at the Demon King and Xiao Wu: "His Majesty has ordered that from now on, Xiao Wu, you will serve by His Majesty's side. Remember, this is a great opportunity for you, so perform well, understand?"

"My lord?" Xiao Wu looked bewildered. In her mind, the Beast God Di Tian was already a supreme being, yet there was someone who could make Di Tian acknowledge him as his master.

However, she didn't dare to say anything and could only nod in agreement. The Demon King, on the other hand, was envious and jealous. A transformed soul beast could actually win the favor of the sovereign. It was really lucky.

With a casual wave of his hand, Di Tian caused the three figures to vanish from their spot in an instant.

It wasn't until dawn, when the forest fire gradually died down, that a Soul Master managed to take a look from afar and investigate the situation.

Unlike the previous battle in the central area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, this battle took place on the outskirts, no more than twenty kilometers from the nearest town.

The earth-shattering battle fluctuations terrified everyone, and many even witnessed Di Tian's enormous dragon body.

The news of the appearance of a true dragon soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest spread like wildfire, quickly reaching the entire continent.

Meanwhile, Tang Chen led Tang Xiao and the others, who had fled in disarray, back to the Haotian Sect's mountain gate in Sunset Forest.

The Second Elder, who remained at the sect, was overjoyed to see Tang Chen return and wept with joy. He didn't bother with the seriously injured Tang San and quickly organized all the disciples to welcome Tang Chen back.

"Uncle, you're finally back." The Second Elder even knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Enough! All of you, come in here and tell us everything that has happened over the years, without omitting a single word." Tang Chen coldly ordered, leading all the elders and Tang San, who was barely able to stand thanks to the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone's Life-Giving Skill, into the council hall.

However, as soon as he sat down, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

"Uncle."

"grandfather."

The group immediately gasped in surprise, but Tang Chen simply waved his hand. He knew his own body; conventional methods were completely ineffective.

Tang Xiao hadn't expected that Tang Chen had been suppressing his injuries the whole way. He had thought it would be a draw, but now it seemed that Tang Chen hadn't gained any advantage at all.

"Stop yelling." Tang Chen looked at his nephews and nieces, who were acting all coy and he felt only sorrow. The Haotian Sect, from top to bottom, had become so petty and narrow-minded. What future did they have?

"Xiao'er, you are now the sect master of Haotian Sect. You tell me, what exactly happened?" Tang Chen pointed at Tang Xiao.

"Grandpa, the story begins twenty years ago." Tang Xiao sighed and finally began to recount the past in a deep voice.

Tang Xiao began his story by recounting how he and Tang Hao met Ah Yin, how Ah Yin's identity was exposed and she was forced to sacrifice herself, how Tang Hao severely injured Qian Xunji, leading to his death, how the Spirit Hall stormed the Clear Sky Sect, how his father died of anger, how they were forced to close the sect, and how Tang Hao was expelled from the sect.

Then there's Tang San awakening his twin martial souls, the sudden appearance of Xiao Wu and Lu Mingfei, their cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Spirit Hall Soul Master Competition, their ambush of Lu Mingfei resulting in their own death, Tang San's entry into the City of Slaughter, and the incident a few days ago in the Star Dou Great Forest where Xiao Wu was tricked into sacrificing her soul ring.

As Tang Xiao finished speaking, the entire conference hall fell silent, with only the heartbeats and breathing of a few people remaining. Everyone present was too exhausted to even speak.

They squandered the best hand Tang Chen had left behind—the best in the world—to the point of threatening to destroy their sect.

Tang Chen's face turned ashen upon hearing this. He never imagined that his dearest grandson would do something so disgraceful to his father and the sect.

He fell in love with a beast, killed the Pope of the Spirit Hall, angered his own father to death, lived a cowardly life in hiding, and set up a scheme to transform into a spirit beast to serve as a backup spirit ring for his son. More importantly, he actually tried to ambush Lu Mingfei because of his son's jealousy, but was killed in return.

If Tang Hao's actions in defying the Spirit Hall for his lover were somewhat admirable, then his later actions for Tang San made him no different from a rat in a ditch—he truly became a scoundrel.

Chapter 248 A Scathing Rebuke

"boom!"

The thought of Haotian Sect in its current state filled Tang Chen with rage. He smashed the stone table in the council hall with a single palm strike, his eyes, red with anger, coldly sweeping over the unfilial descendants before him.

Tang Xiao, Tang San, and several elders immediately knelt on the ground. They knew full well how many wrong things they had done, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Tang Chen clenched his fist and finally fixed his gaze on Tang San.

This person, whom he thought was an exceptionally talented future heir of the Haotian Sect, turned out to be the root cause of the sect's current predicament.

Because of his jealousy, he repeatedly tried to kill the classmate who spared his life, and in the end, he even tried to use love to trick a transformed soul beast into a sacrifice. He was worse than an animal.

"No wonder Lu Mingfei said that our Haotian Sect is full of filthy, despicable and shameless people. Now it seems that even if I were slapped in the face, I wouldn't be able to refute him." Tang Chen laughed angrily.

He stood up, walked to the crowd kneeling on the ground, and first pointed at Tang Xiao.

"You, as the leader of a sect, are led by the nose by your own brothers. You have no opinions of your own, cannot distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and are mediocre and incompetent."

Tang Xiao could only bury his head even lower, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.

Then, he turned to Tang San and said, "You are so young yet so narrow-minded, weak and despicable. For the sake of a 100,000-year soul ring, you actually deceived the feelings of someone you trusted. You are utterly despicable and shameless!"

Tang San blushed instantly upon hearing this scathing rebuke. He had clearly done nothing wrong, but what he couldn't accept was that his great-grandfather had accused him of deceiving Xiao Wu's feelings. He absolutely could not accept this statement; his feelings for Xiao Wu were as clear as day!

As his uncontrollable rage surged, the Killing God Domain once again surfaced uncontrollably.

"I didn't, I didn't deceive Xiao Wu's feelings. This was all done by the sect. I was risking my life to save Xiao Wu!" Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he gripped the ground tightly with his hands, his fingers bleeding profusely, but he did not loosen his grip at all.

"presumptuous!"

Tang Chen snorted coldly, and the superior suppression of the Asura Domain instantly shattered Tang San's Killing God Domain.

Tang San felt his body stiffen instantly, as if he had fallen into an ice cave that had stood for millennia. All his anger was extinguished in an instant, leaving only endless despair.

"It seems you are not only weak, but also so hypocritical that you even deceive yourself. You clearly know that it was your uncle and his group who did it. If that's the case, why didn't you commit suicide to threaten them? Even if you had committed suicide back then, I would have thought more highly of you. But you are clearly deceiving yourself! And you are still stubbornly clinging to your own beliefs even now!"

Tang Chen's words were like a sharp blade, instantly piercing through the fragile exterior of Tang San's heart, which was filled with madness for love.

"No, I didn't think that, I didn't!" Tang San roared in rebuttal, but the next moment, a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, and he lay on his side on the ground.

Seeing Tang San cough up blood and collapse because of a single accusation, Tang Chen was utterly disappointed by his fragile state of mind.

He wasn't disappointed that Tang San used scheming tricks, but rather that he was disappointed that Tang San had clearly done bad things but refused to admit it. He couldn't be a good person, nor could he be a thoroughly bad person. How could someone with such a personality achieve great things?

"Xiao San, Xiao San." Tang Xiao immediately hugged Tang San in his arms to check on her. Fortunately, he was relieved to find that it was not a physical injury.

“Uncle is right. If it weren’t for this kid, how could our Haotian Sect have come to this? It’s all his fault, that wicked beast, and that wretched father of his. They’ve ruined everyone in our Haotian Sect.”

Seventh Elder Lieyang immediately jumped out to beat the dog when it was down. He had long hated Tang Hao and his son Tang San to the bone, and Tang Chen's words had hit the nail on the head.

"Enough, shut up! What kind of good people do you think you are?" Tang Chen glared at the elders.

"Hao'er is indeed outrageous, but aren't you all just as cowardly and afraid of death? If you had supported Hao'er back then, how could he have ended up like this? In the end, it was you who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and the idea of ​​deceiving that transformed soul beast for its soul ring was yours, wasn't it?"

Tang Chen's words left everyone utterly humiliated and speechless.

"My Tang Chen has a lifetime of illustrious reputation, yet I have nephews and nieces like you. It is truly a misfortune for my family. At least Qian Daoliu has a granddaughter who can afford to lose. Unlike you, a bunch of good-for-nothings, you are not even as responsible as Yuehua alone."

Tang Chen cursed a few more times to vent his anger before sitting back down and closing his eyes to rest.

Everyone else remained kneeling obediently for a full hour until Tang San slowly woke up, at which point Tang Chen opened his eyes.

"I know what you're thinking. You think you can rest easy now that I'm back, right?" Tang Chen said in an extremely calm tone.

"But I can tell you directly that I have at most ten years left to live. If I experience another great war, my lifespan will be even shorter. At that time, whether the Haotian Sect lives or dies will depend entirely on your own fate."

Tang Chen's words were like a bolt from the blue, stunning everyone.

"How could this be? Grandpa, you are a peerless Douluo with a long lifespan, and you have already found a way to break through to a higher realm, so how come you only have ten years left?" Tang Xiao asked anxiously.

Whether it's the oppression from the Spirit Hall or the threat from Lu Mingfei, the Clear Sky Sect is doomed to perish.

They had finally waited for Tang Chen's return, but instead received this terrible news. How could they accept it?

Tang Chen couldn't help but sigh. He wasn't saddened by death, but rather by his inability to reach higher realms and fulfill his promise to Poseidon. Now, even his sect was in danger of being preserved, which made him feel incredibly sorrowful.

"In the end, the sect's situation is also my responsibility. Back then, I left the sect in order to seek the path to godhood. Later, in the City of Slaughter, I obtained the inheritance of the Asura God. However, during the test of the divine inheritance, I was corrupted by the evil thoughts of another evil god and parasitized by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, becoming the King of Slaughter, where I sank for more than 20 years."

"It wasn't until a few days ago, thanks to the mercy of the God of Asura, that I finally regained consciousness. But this also means that I am no longer destined to continue the divine examination. Although I have the strength of a demigod with the help of a divine artifact, my body and soul are already riddled with holes. Ten years is an optimistic estimate."

"And I can tell you with certainty that I lost the battle in the Star Dou Great Forest the night before last. If the bloody battle had continued, I would have been the one who died."

"I can't deal with Lu Mingfei. In a few years, when he becomes a Soul Douluo or Title Douluo, he will probably have the ability to fight me head-on. At that time, even I may not be able to protect the Haotian Sect."

Chapter 249 Tang San Wants the Asura Godhood

For the Haotian Sect now, Tang Chen is like a pillar of strength, but now he actually said that it's not that he can't deal with Lu Mingfei, does that mean they still only have one way out but death?

Tang San was so shocked he almost suffocated. Lu Mingfei was so powerful that even the strongest person on the continent was helpless against him.

Does he still have any hope of defeating Lu Mingfei?

"Uncle, you, you're telling the truth? Even you can't deal with Lu Mingfei?" The Second Elder asked in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with disbelief. Lu Mingfei had undoubtedly surpassed the Spirit Hall and become the Clear Sky Sect's greatest nightmare.

Tang Chen took a deep breath and slowly shook his head, saying, "That's right. His speed is even faster than Qian Daoliu back then. After his Martial Soul True Body transforms into a dragon body, coupled with that strange weapon, his combat power can approach my level in a short time. He has no weaknesses at all. If I fight him one-on-one, although I can win, I definitely won't be able to stop him."

In fact, Tang Chen was no less shocked than they were. Lu Mingfei was just a Soul Saint who only used Soul Power, yet he was so incredibly powerful.

Even the pure-blooded true dragon Di Tian had reached the level of a demigod and borrowed power from a higher level to withstand the power of his divine artifact with his dragon body.

Lu Mingfei's existence is like an inexplicable anomaly, transcending the rules of this world.

Even explaining it as a fellow successor to a deity doesn't make sense, because the Asura God is already one of the strongest deities in the divine realm.

The only possibility that can be thought of is that Lu Mingfei himself is a reincarnation of a god. Only in this way can everything be explained. However, even if he guesses right, so what? Saying it now will only add to the trouble and will not help.

"How could this happen?" The elders were even more dejected.

"How could Lu Mingfei be so powerful?" Tang Xiao murmured in a daze, "Is destruction the only future for the Haotian Sect?"

Tang San clenched his fists, his teeth almost grinding to powder. He simply couldn't accept his fate of being at Lu Mingfei's mercy. Suddenly, he looked up at Tang Chen, a flash of inspiration striking him, and immediately spoke:
