Chapter 229 Luo Sanpao's Choice
"you say…"
"Is this Holy Son's Golden Sacred Dragon a worthless, farting pig?"
The voice of the Holy Son of the Heavenly Beast Sect echoed around the Sunset Burial Pit, utterly devoid of any worldly concerns.
However, before the Holy Son of the Heavenly Beast Sect could even react.
The powerful figures around them, who were originally immersed in awe of the Golden Holy Dragon, were the first to erupt in chaos!
"You audacious madman! Where did this ignorant and insane fellow come from!"
A deacon from the Blazing Fire Sect, whose entire body was wreathed in crimson divine fire and whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Divine Fire Realm, stepped forward.
The terrifying pressure emanating from his body directly sent all the rogue cultivators within a ten-zhang radius of Yu Xiaogang flying!
"The Primordial Sacred Dragon is an unparalleled auspicious omen for our human race!"
"You ant who hasn't even entered the Blood Transformation Realm, how dare you spout such arrogant words and blaspheme with such foul language?!"
On the other side, an ancient king, riding in a chariot pulled by a nine-headed dragon, was also furious, pointing at Yu Xiaogang's withered body and shouting angrily:
"It's utter filth!"
"You still have the stench of the Black-Armored Hyena, the lowest of the low in the Great Wilderness, on your body, yet you dare to spout nonsense while pointing at the true dragon in the heavens?!"
"Holy Son, such a madman is only a defilement of the purity of this Sunset Burial Pit. I will cleanse the Heavenly Beast Sect of this mess and grind him to dust!"
In an instant, the crowd was filled with righteous indignation, and countless powerful figures wished they could kill him on the spot and grind his bones to dust!
If these powerful figures hadn't maintained their dignity and disdained to kill a mere mortal, and if the Holy Son of the Heavenly Beast Sect hadn't yet spoken, Yu Xiaogang would probably be nothing but ashes by now.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure around him, Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale instantly, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
But this did not bring him to his senses; instead, it made him even more insane.
"A bunch of idiots! A bunch of idiots blinded by appearances!"
Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, gritting his teeth and trying his best to keep himself from kneeling down.
Just then, on the deck of the treasure ship, Luo Sanpao, who was munching on a top-grade immortal mushroom, suddenly stopped.
Its two ears, which resembled small fans, twitched slightly. Then, it slowly turned its round head and, through the sea of people, saw Yu Xiaogang.
Even though Yu Xiaogang was covered in blood and grime and had forcibly severed the bond between their souls, Luo Sanpao still recognized his former master immediately after decades of living together.
However, at this moment, Luo Sanpao showed neither excitement nor anger in his eyes. He simply looked quietly at the disheveled and emaciated man, his eyes revealing a complex and extremely human emotion.
There was relief, but also sorrow.
But more than anything, it's a kind of indifference born from complete disillusionment after being abandoned.
"Hmph..."
Suddenly, for some reason, Luo Sanpao lowered his head and rubbed his chubby head against the edge of the Heavenly Beast Sect's Holy Son's armor.
Upon hearing this soft murmur, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Beast Sect was also taken aback.
Then, he lowered his head slightly, and for the first time, a deep look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, which were filled with the strange phenomena of myriad beasts.
"What did you say?"
The Holy Son seemed unable to believe the divine message he had heard through the Beast Taming Secret Technique, staring intently at Luo Sanpao before him:
"Was that person truly your former master?"
Although the words were not spoken loudly, they caused a huge uproar on the deck of the treasure ship!
At this moment, even the accompanying elders of the Heavenly Beast Sect stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the mortal below who was emitting a foul stench.
Luo Sanpao didn't explain, but simply nodded slightly again and called out, as if saying a final farewell.
It was pleading with the Holy Son of the Heavenly Beast Sect to spare Yu Xiaogang's life.
After all, they had been together for decades. This was its last act of mercy towards that past, and also a complete severance.
After a long while, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Beast Sect finally took a deep breath.
He glanced at Yu Xiaogang below, who was still putting on a show, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"They actually abandoned a young dragon with the potential of a perfect ancient dragon emperor in pursuit of some elusive power?"
"How can there be such a stupid, blind, and worthless person in this world!"
The Holy Son sneered inwardly, but he forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart, reached out and ruffled Luo Sanpao's golden head, and sighed gently:
"Fine."
"Since you still have this ill-fated relationship with him, and are pleading so desperately..."
"Today, I, the Holy Son, will spare his dog's life for your sake, as a way to settle this karmic debt for you."
Upon hearing the Holy Son's words, Luo Sanpao seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden. He stopped looking at Yu Xiaogang and turned his back to him, continuing to munch on the immortal mushroom.
However, Yu Xiaogang below could not hear the divine communication between the Holy Son and Luo Sanpao at all!
All he saw was that stupid pig rubbing against the Holy Son, and the Holy Son not only didn't get angry, but even reached out to touch the pig's head!
In Yu Xiaogang's view, this was simply the behavior of an incredibly foolish and incompetent ruler!
"Great! Excellent!"
Seeing that the powerful figures around him not only failed to expose the lie, but also threatened to kill him, and that the Holy Son of the Heavenly Beast Sect was even more stubborn, Yu Xiaogang's fragile self-esteem was completely enraged!
He immediately stepped forward, pointed at the kings and powerful figures glaring at him angrily, and began to curse:
"You bunch of sycophantic old dogs! You're blind!"
"I, Yu Xiaogang, have studied martial spirits for decades and proposed ten core competencies. My theories are absolute truths even in higher-dimensional worlds!"
"And you would rather believe a pig that only farts than believe the heartfelt words of this master!"
After berating the surrounding rogue cultivators, Yu Xiaogang turned his attention to the Holy Son of the Heavenly Beast Sect, his pained expression making it seem as if he were the superior master.
"And you too!"
"The Holy Son of the Heavenly Beast Sect has been deceived by the appearance of a pig!"
"I think you're all talk and no action!"
"I thought you were a promising talent and wanted to take you as my apprentice and give you some pointers."
"Now it seems you're nothing but a good-for-nothing who only listens to slander!"
These words startled everyone around the Sunset Burial Pit once again.
Everyone looked at Yu Xiaogang as if he were a monster.
This person is not only insane, but completely insane!
He actually dared to call the Holy Son of the Heavenly Beast Sect a good-for-nothing? And he even wants to take the Holy Son as his disciple?!
Seeing the stunned expressions on everyone's faces, Yu Xiaogang assumed they were intimidated by his domineering aura.
Growing increasingly smug, he finally turned and looked directly at Luo Sanpao.
"Since none of you believe me, then this master will show you the true face of this stupid pig today!"
At this point, Yu Xiaogang, in an extremely pretentious manner, straightened his collar, put his hands behind his back, and shouted loudly towards the deck of the treasure ship:
"Luo Sanpao, you piece of trash!"
"Your master is right here, so hurry up and get down here and wag your tail!"
With Yu Xiaogang's loud shout, he also waved contemptuously at Luo Sanpao.
