"Yali, that's enough!"
Just as Xia Yi and Yali were laughing and talking, a cold voice suddenly came from ahead of them. Long Yeyue appeared in front of them, accompanied by Chen Xinjie and Tang Wulin.
Seeing Yali being so close with Xia Yi, Long Yeyue's eyes were blazing with fury, as if she wanted to tear Xia Yi and Yali into pieces.
"Your Holiness of Light and Darkness, so you've come," Yali sighed softly, as if she had expected Long Yeyue to come and intercept her.
"Cut the crap. Since you've already betrayed Shrek Academy and Yun Ming, hand over the Sky Piercing Spear and I'll leave," Long Yeyue said coldly, her gaze shifting between Xia Yi and Yali. As much as she wanted to tear them apart, she knew she had no chance with Xia Yi present.
Even with herself, Chen Xinjie, and the Seven Great Demon Elders combined, their strength ranked among the very top of humanity.
But Xia Yi had the soul beast race behind him.
Long Yeyue and Chen Xinjie still vividly remembered the scene when dragon race powerhouses hunted the Abyssal Sage King.
She didn't dare make a move on Xia Yi.
Chen Xinjie had already advised Long Yeyue multiple times to retreat after seeing Yali with Xia Yi.
But having finally intercepted Yali, how could Long Yeyue bear to just flee with her tail between her legs? She had no choice but to brace herself and confront them.
She gambled that Yali wouldn't agree to let Xia Yi summon soul beast powerhouses against them.
After all, Yali was so kind-hearted.
"Honestly, I have to thank you for getting me to where I am today. You say I betrayed Shrek Academy and Yun Ming? Then so be it. As for the Sky Piercing Spear, I can't give it to you. I still need it. Besides, you're not qualified to demand it," Yali sighed again. She had already guessed Long Yeyue wouldn't let the Sky Piercing Spear go.
She would definitely come to reclaim it.
"I'm not qualified? Ha! Other than me, who is qualified to represent Shrek Academy?" Long Yeyue sneered, "Yali, this is the last time I'll say it. Hand over the Sky Piercing Spear, and from now on you'll have no ties to Shrek Academy. I won't care what you do afterward."
Yun Ming, the most talented individual Shrek had produced in ten thousand years since the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, though unable to become a god due to the suppression of the plane's will, had still cultivated his spiritual power to the Divine Source Realm. His martial soul, the Sky Piercing Spear, had even been refined into a divine weapon.
To Long Yeyue, Yun Ming had always been the pride of her and the Heaven's Grace Douluo.
Even though Shrek Academy's reputation had now been ruined, Long Yeyue believed that as long as she had the Sky Piercing Spear, no matter how much time passed, if she raised Yun Ming's name, she could still rally a fervent group of Shrek loyalists.
In her heart, the Sky Piercing Spear was crucial to rebuilding Shrek Academy.
She had to get it back, no matter what.
Previously, she still hoped to persuade Yali to come back.
That's why she hadn't acted yet.
But after hearing that Yali was going to marry Xia Yi, she couldn't sit still any longer. She was willing to mobilize all her strength to intercept Yali.
"I said, the Sky Piercing Spear won't be given to you," Yali shook her head slightly. She didn't want to hand it over and let Long Yeyue continue stirring up trouble.
"Yali, must you force me to act against you?" Long Yeyue's tone sharpened.
"You don't have a chance," Yali replied calmly, "I advise you to leave while you can. Find a quiet place and live out your days. Otherwise, once the Sun-Moon Federation's powerhouses arrive, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
"Your Holiness of the Holy Spirit," Chen Xinjie finally spoke, "Let me say something fair. Right now, you truly no longer have the qualifications to keep the Sky Piercing Spear." His eyes landed on Xia Yi and Yali, "If you're trying to stall for time, hoping that Her Holiness the Heavenly Phoenix will come to your rescue, you'd better give up. This space is already completely sealed. No matter how powerful she is, she won't know what's happening here."
As soon as he finished, seven translucent figures slowly appeared. A terrifying spiritual pressure radiated from them, sealing the surroundings completely.
"The seven great Demon Elders all have spiritual power at the third level of the Divine Source Realm. Even if Leng Yaozhu has become a god, unless her spiritual power reaches the second level Divine Source Realm, she won't be able to detect anything happening here," Long Yeyue emphasized coldly.
"Are you done talking?" Xia Yi suddenly spoke. His gaze landed on Tang Wulin, "The Sky Piercing Spear was left to Yali by Yun Ming. No one has the right to take it. If you're not happy about that, you can go to the underworld and ask Yun Ming why. But the Golden Dragon King bloodline—it belongs to the soul beasts. That, you should return."
As soon as Xia Yi said this, Long Yeyue, Chen Xinjie, and Tang Wulin's expressions changed drastically.
They had dared to show themselves because they were betting that Yali wouldn't let Xia Yi call in the soul beasts.
But Xia Yi had just brought the soul beasts into it.
If he truly summoned soul beast powerhouses to reclaim the Golden Dragon King bloodline, then not only would they fail to reclaim the Sky Piercing Spear—they'd be forced to return the bloodline themselves.
"Ridiculous! The Golden Dragon King bloodline is something Wulin was born with. What does it have to do with the soul beasts? So many beast soul masters are born with soul beast bloodlines. I myself have both Light Holy Dragon and Dark Holy Dragon bloodlines. Are you saying you want to slaughter all beast soul masters?" Long Yeyue snapped back. She knew that the only option now was to stubbornly deny that Tang Wulin's bloodline belonged to the soul beasts. Otherwise, once soul beast powerhouses got involved, there'd be no place left for them to hide on the entire Douluo plane.
"If you think it's ridiculous, go ahead and laugh. Whether you're playing dumb or truly don't understand, I don't have time to explain. Since you've come here today, then the Golden Dragon King bloodline must stay. Otherwise, no one is leaving," Xia Yi looked at Tang Wulin, "Will you cooperate and let me extract the Golden Dragon King bloodline—or shall I take it by force?"
"The Golden Dragon King bloodline was left to me by my father. No one can take it from me." Tang Wulin looked up at Xia Yi. Though the bloodline had brought him much suffering, all his achievements were owed to it.
Without the Golden Dragon King bloodline, he would never have stood out in forging.
He might not have even left Eastsea City his whole life.
He certainly wouldn't have joined Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.
In fact, without that bloodline, even his martial soul might never have evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor.
The Golden Dragon King bloodline was his greatest asset—giving it up would be no different from cutting off both his arms.
How could he possibly agree?
