Chapter 151: The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Choice, The Title of Slaughter God
The next morning.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, assembly hall.
At this time, several Elders of the clan had all arrived, sitting on both sides of the hall, with different expressions.
Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen sat upright in the main seat, his face solemn.
He did not waste any words.
He directly explained in detail the matter of the Alliance proposed by Ning Fengzhi yesterday, as well as the speculation regarding Tang Hao's death.
As his voice fell, the hall fell into a brief silence.
The Elders looked at each other, their faces full of unconcealable shock.
Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen took in everyone's reactions, and said in a deep voice:
"This matter is of great importance. I did not give Ning Fengzhi an answer on the spot. Calling you all here today is because I want to hear your opinions. Should our Sect join this Alliance or not?"
Grand Elder Yu Luomian said:
"Big Brother, this matter requires caution. It is an indisputable fact that Spirit Hall is powerful now, but precisely because of this, we must not easily make them our enemy."
He paused and continued:
"Let's talk about the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace incident first. Although Su Mo's attack was too heavy, he had warned them beforehand. It was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that insisted on interfering, which is why Gu Rong was killed on the spot.
And after Su Mo obtained the national treasure, he did not go on a killing spree but left directly. In my opinion, his intention might not have been to target the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, but rather that the national treasure was truly crucial to him, so he had no choice but to do it."
The Elders all nodded slightly, apparently believing that Yu Luomian's words made sense.
After all, apart from the commotion Su Mo had caused, Spirit Hall had not made any major moves recently.
At this moment, Yu Luomian continued, with a tone of disapproval:
"And regarding Tang Hao's death, when it comes down to it, that is nothing more than Ning Fengzhi's one-sided story and baseless speculation.
There is no evidence, no witnesses; just because Su Mo went to Tianxing City near Slaughter City, can we conclude that he killed Tang Hao? That is somewhat too far-fetched.
Now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family have already stood on the opposite side of Spirit Hall.
And Ning Fengzhi asking us to join the Alliance now, to put it bluntly, is just trying to drag us into the water."
"But Su Mo is terrifying. His fifth Soul Ring starts at the hundred-thousand-year level, and Gu Rong couldn't even block one of his sword strikes.
Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only has you, Big Brother, as a Titled Douluo; what can we use to contend with a Spirit Hall that possesses such a Prodigy?
In my opinion, we should temporarily maintain the status quo and wait and see."
"The Grand Elder is right." The Second Elder immediately nodded in agreement, "Gu Rong's death was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's own fault. They had already stated beforehand that they would leave after taking the item. It was they who insisted on interfering, which led to this fatal disaster.
Now that the situation is unclear, rashly forming an Alliance is equivalent to directly standing on the opposite side of Spirit Hall. We cannot afford this risk."
"The Grand Elder's words are very true." The Third Elder stroked his beard and said, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School supports Heaven Dou, the Clear Sky Sect supports Star Luo, and our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has maintained neutrality since our founding.
We cannot risk the lives of thousands of our clansmen just because of a few words from others."
The three Elders expressed their views one after another, and the opinion was almost one-sided.
They were all wary of Spirit Hall's power.
Furthermore, apart from the matter of Yu Xiaogang, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not have any deep hatred with Spirit Hall.
However, except for Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen, they didn't care about Yu Xiaogang at all.
In fact, they even had to thank Spirit Hall for giving them a reason to apply pressure and completely expel that trash from the Family.
Just at this moment, the Fourth Elder suddenly raised his hand: "Everyone, I have a different opinion."
Everyone's gaze fell upon him.
"The Elders' words all make sense; the current situation is indeed not suitable for rash actions, but..."
The Fourth Elder changed the subject:
"If we choose not to form an Alliance, what if Spirit Hall really makes a big move in the future and takes action against the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
Then who will be next? Could it be us?
By then, if we want to form an Alliance, I'm afraid we won't even be able to find allies."
"The Fourth Elder's concerns are not without reason." Yu Luomian replied, "But I still believe that in the current situation, self-preservation is paramount.
Instead of rushing to express our stance now, it is better to wait and see. It won't be too late to make a decision when the situation becomes clear.
Moreover, I believe that as long as we don't actively take a side or provoke them, what reason would Spirit Hall have to attack us?
If they attack us without reason, aren't they afraid of being reviled by the people of the world?"
The Elders argued back and forth, each with their own reasoning, for a long time.
Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen did not interrupt throughout, just quietly listening to everyone's speech.
Until the arguments gradually subsided and everyone had said their piece, Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen then slowly spoke: "I generally understand everyone's meaning."
"Let's do this: the minority obeys the majority. Given that the situation is unclear, it is indeed inappropriate to rashly express a stance, so we will not be in a hurry to join this Alliance."
Hearing this, Yu Luomian, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder all breathed a sigh of relief.
The Fourth Elder wanted to say something, but saw Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen raise his hand to stop him.
"However..." His tone changed, and his gaze suddenly became sharp, "We cannot be completely unprepared. The Fourth Elder is right; if Spirit Hall really makes a big move in the future, we cannot stay out of it.
Even if our Sect does not form an Alliance, we cannot fail to defend ourselves.
Therefore, starting from today, the Sect will strengthen external patrols, all Disciples will increase training intensity, and defensive fortifications will be fully reinforced.
At the same time, send more scouts to closely monitor every move of Spirit Hall."
The Elders looked at each other and nodded in unison.
This decision neither rashly took a side nor sat waiting for death; it was indeed the most prudent choice.
"Big Brother's words make sense." Yu Luomian was the first to express his stance.
"Agreed." The Second Elder and Third Elder also nodded one after another.
The Fourth Elder pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "I have no objections either."
"Since everyone has no objections, then it is settled." Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand, "You may all disperse."
The Elders stood up one after another and exited the hall.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded, and the hall returned to silence.
Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen sat alone in the main seat, his gaze fixed on the hall entrance, remaining motionless for a long time.
Meanwhile, in Spirit City.
Facts proved that those who could reach the level of Titled Douluo in this era were all outstanding figures.
In the past month, the Elders of the Hall of Worship and the Elder Palace, under Su Mo's guidance, had all successfully condensed their spirit cores.
In addition, the team of two thousand Soul Masters led by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had also returned to Spirit City smoothly a few days ago.
After learning the method of the spirit core, the two immediately went into seclusion and were still in the process of stabilizing their spirit cores at this time.
And just a few days ago, Spirit City also held a solemn title coronation ceremony.
The protagonist of this coronation ceremony was none other than Su Mo.
His title was—Slaughter God Douluo.
