Chapter 304: The Desire to Leave the Clan
"Tianlin, you want to leave the clan now?"
In the deliberation hall, Yu Yuanzhen, who had been sitting calmly in the Clan Leader's seat, finally showed a look of surprise after hearing Yu Tianlin's words. "Why did you suddenly have this idea? Is it because of Dugu Bo? Do you understand the current situation?"
Ever since learning that Yu Tianlin had become the Thunder God's successor, Yu Yuanzhen's regard for him had reached an entirely new level. Naturally, Yu Yuanzhen did not want Yu Tianlin wandering around outside and risking unexpected danger. If Yu Tianlin could remain in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Cultivate all the way until he became a Deity, that would be the most ideal outcome.
That was why Yu Yuanzhen reacted this way the moment he heard that Yu Tianlin wanted to leave the clan.
"I know all of that." Yu Tianlin only nodded and said, "Even so, I still have to go out."
What Yu Tianlin needed to deal with was related to Qian Renxue, and it even involved matters connected to a Deity, so it was naturally extremely important.
Qian Renxue had a level 99 grandfather backing her. Yu Tianlin could not just directly kill her. At the same time, her current plan to seize the Heaven Dou Empire's throne could neither be allowed to succeed nor be allowed to fail completely. The balance was far too delicate, and Yu Tianlin felt he had to personally make detailed arrangements, which meant leaving the clan.
As for the exact reasons, Yu Tianlin found it difficult to explain them clearly to his grandfather, so he could only express his stance.
"Tianlin, do you really have to leave?" Seeing Yu Tianlin's firm attitude, Yu Yuanzhen raised a brow and asked, "Could this matter be related to becoming a Deity?"
"Mm, more or less," Yu Tianlin nodded.
After all, this matter really was related to who would become a Deity first, so Yu Yuanzhen was not wrong. Naturally, Yu Tianlin simply followed his line of thought and admitted it.
"In that case, then I agree." After confirming from Yu Tianlin that this matter was indeed connected to a Deity, Yu Yuanzhen's expression immediately turned solemn, and he directly agreed.
However, Yu Yuanzhen added, "But the current situation in the Spirit Master world is too treacherous. I don't feel at ease letting you move around outside alone. How about this, I'll have Luo Mian accompany you."
Yu Yuanzhen had originally intended to send the former Third Elder, who had recently broken through and become a Titled Douluo Grand Elder, to accompany Yu Tianlin. But at the last moment, he changed his mind and chose Yu Luomian instead.
In Yu Yuanzhen's opinion, his second brother Yu Luomian had already been a Titled Douluo for some time, and his spirit power cultivation was also approaching level 93. With the assistance of his Spirit Bones, he would definitely be able to protect Yu Tianlin no matter what happened.
"Uh, have Second Grandfather personally accompany me?" Yu Tianlin instinctively felt that wasn't too appropriate, so he said, "Grandfather, you know my strength. Even if I face a Titled Douluo directly, I still have a very high chance of retreating safely, so there's no need to trouble Second Grandfather, right?"
After returning from Thunder Gorge, Yu Yuanzhen had personally tested Yu Tianlin's combat ability, so Yu Tianlin now had a relatively clear understanding of his own strength.
At present, defeating a Spirit Saint posed little difficulty for him. As for Spirit Douluo, he could basically crush anyone below level 85, while those above level 85 could still be fought on relatively equal terms. Even if he faced a Titled Douluo, escaping if he could not win would not be a problem. So even if Yu Tianlin left the clan, he was not too worried about danger.
"No, this matter is not up for discussion!" However, on this point, Yu Yuanzhen refused to compromise and directly said, "That little bit of strength of yours is nothing once you step outside. Luo Mian must go with you!"
Alright, since Grandfather's attitude is this firm, then so be it.
Yu Tianlin had only felt that Yu Luomian was his elder, and having him follow him around might seem a bit inappropriate. But now that his grandfather had already decided, Yu Tianlin naturally would not keep objecting.
Thinking about it, having a Titled Douluo act as a bodyguard still felt pretty good. For example, Qian Renxue had Snake Lance and Porcupine Douluo protecting her. Although Yu Tianlin only had one, one was already enough, so it wasn't bad at all.
After settling this matter, Yu Yuanzhen went off to inform Yu Luomian so he could make preparations, while Yu Tianlin went to find Dugu Bo, who was still staying in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Senior Dugu, I already have a rough understanding of Emperor Xue Ye's situation, and I also have a way to deal with it, but it will take some time. You should head back first and stabilize his condition. I'll go to Heaven Dou City after a while."
"You have a solution?" Dugu Bo looked at Yu Tianlin's confident expression. Although he did not know where that confidence came from, he still let out a sigh of relief and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll head back first. The poison Emperor Xue Ye has suffered is no small matter. I hope you can come as soon as possible."
Yu Tianlin directly replied, "Don't worry, Senior. As you know, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has recently intended to grow closer to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, so we naturally won't stand by and watch Emperor Xue Ye encounter trouble. Besides, I truly do have a way to deal with the poison he has suffered."
Those words also counted as reassurance for Dugu Bo.
After receiving Yu Tianlin's assurance, Dugu Bo no longer stayed in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and immediately rushed back toward Heaven Dou City without delay.
It was worth mentioning that Dugu Bo seemed to feel that the atmosphere around the Heaven Dou Imperial Family had become far too strange, and he was not at ease leaving Dugu Yan there, so he left Dugu Yan in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan instead.
As for Dugu Bo's decision, Yu Tianlin found it a little hard to comment on.
You think the Heaven Dou Empire is unsafe, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is safe?
Once Spirit Hall launched the Spirit Hunting Operation, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would also fall into danger, and perhaps even face far more danger than the Heaven Dou Empire.
So Dugu Bo's choice could not really be called either right or wrong. Of course, his granddaughter Dugu Yan was definitely very happy about it.
No longer dwelling on Dugu Bo, Yu Tianlin returned to his residence and began packing his things. After all, he was going out for quite a while this time, and he did not know how long it would be before he returned.
At that moment, a female voice suddenly rang out.
"Tianlin, you… are you leaving the clan again?"
"Sister Lingling." Yu Tianlin was not surprised in the slightest by the sudden voice. With his powerful spiritual force, he had long since sensed Ye Lingling approaching. He said, "I'm really sorry. I only just got back, and now I'm leaving again, so I won't have much time to spend with you. But I really do have something important to take care of this time."
"Don't worry. I'll come back soon."
However, Ye Lingling lightly bit her lip and asked, "Can I go with you?"
