Chapter 150: Yu Yuanzhen Seeks Bai He's Assistance, Qian Renxue Learns of Tang Hao's News
Yu Yuanzhen's words were relayed to Dugu Bo by Qian Renxue's orders, unchanged.
Dugu Bo, in turn, conveyed Yu Yuanzhen's words exactly to Yu Xiaogang and the others, who were imprisoned within the Jade phospher serpent Poison Formation.
After capturing the four individuals, Dugu Bo had specifically injected Jade phospher serpent Poison into their bodies as a precaution and used the snake poison to set up a formation around them to prevent their escape.
"It's impossible! We will never abandon Xiaogang!" Liu Erlong, upon hearing that her great uncle was willing to abandon his own son and even insult him as useless, immediately shielded Yu Xiaogang.
She had waited for Yu Xiaogang for many years; how could she leave him behind?
Flender knew Dugu Bo had given them time to wait for the return of Haotian Douluo, believing that even Dugu Bo wouldn't dare act rashly once Tang Hao returned with Tang San.
Thus, he remained silent, circulating his soul power to counteract the Jade phospher serpent Poison from Dugu Bo within his body.
Yu Luomian glared fiercely at his nephew.
Had it not been for this young man's suggestion, he wouldn't be in a position needing rescue by his brother.
However, Yu Yuanzhen's thoughts mirrored Flender's. Both, having had encounters with Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, knew of the latter's nearly recovered injuries and that his soul power seemed to have reached the peak of level 95 due to recuperating in Haotian Sect.
This level of power meant even his brother, Yu Yuanzhen, might not be a match for him.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Luomian thought it was only for the sake of Haotian Douluo Tang Hao that he would stand in front of this worthless nephew.
"Dugu Bo, Xiaogang is my nephew. Even though he is no longer within our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the same blood flows through our veins."
"We will never leave him behind." Yu Luomian stood protectively in front of Yu Xiaogang, earning the favor of both Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.
Dugu Bo looked at the group with a neutral expression, "You all seem brave enough to talk back to me, relying not just on that old dragon but also on your so-called Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, right?"
"But don't think that just because Tang Hao arrives, he can save you. Even if it's someone from Haotian Sect, if they've wronged my granddaughter, the compensation must still be paid!"
Dugu Bo glared coldly at Yu Xiaogang, "Since you refuse to abandon this waste, then I'll just stay here with you and wait for Tang Hao."
"Just make sure you don't die from my Jade phospher serpent Poison before he arrives."
In Heaven Dou City, at a hotel.
Inside a room.
"Clan Leader Bai He, I am Yu Yuanzhen. I apologize for the intrusion."
Upon learning Bai He's location within the city, Yu Yuanzhen sought him out.
Seeing Thunderclap Douluo before him, Bai He was momentarily taken aback but then greeted him courteously, "Hehe, to have Thunderclap Douluo visit is no disturbance."
"What brings Thunderclap Douluo here?"
After inviting Yu Yuanzhen into the room and finding him a seat, Yu Yuanzhen got straight to the point, "Clan Leader Bai, the top three sects are branches of the same tree. Why did you speak for Dugu Bo that day?"
Bai He knew why Yu Yuanzhen had come and did not beat around the bush, "Sect Master Yu, I have little interest in Dugu Bo's affairs."
"It's your son and his students that are not of good character."
"The type of students reflects the type of teacher."
"I also heard your son's Shrek Academy promotes the idea of 'only the bold are worthy of attention.'"
"It's such a philosophy that probably gave your son the idea to instruct his students to kidnap Dugu Bo's granddaughter."
"If not for my granddaughter's timely discovery, the outcome that night would have been far worse."
"At least, Poison Douluo gave you some leeway by not immediately killing them."
Yu Yuanzhen chuckled, "Two ten-thousand-year soul bones call for leeway?"
"That old poison really dared to ask."
Hearing Poison Douluo demanded two ten-thousand-year soul bones, Bai He couldn't help but gasp, his heart unwittingly amazed.
Even Thunderclap Douluo before him might not possess two ten-thousand-year soul bones.
Dugu Bo daring to demand such a high price was truly audacious.
"Clan Leader Bai He, if it comes to it, I beseech you to join me."
"I'll handle Dugu Bo; you just need to find an opportunity to take my clan's people away. The reward can be discussed." Yu Yuanzhen suddenly said.
With his level 95 soul power, killing Dugu Bo on his territory was nearly impossible.
If he could break through to level 96, perhaps it would be possible.
Yet, suppressing Dugu Bo was within his capabilities.
For Yu Yuanzhen, Bai He was an ideal assistant for rescuing his clan members.
Known as one of the fastest individuals in Haotian Sect and even on the continent, Bai He's involvement would make the rescue mission much easier.
"No," Bai He shook his head in response to Yu Yuanzhen's request.
"Why?" Yu Yuanzhen frowned, "Does Clan Leader Bai fear that I, Yu Yuanzhen, will not honor my word?"
"If you doubt me, I can pay you the compensation upfront."
For his trip to the imperial city, Yu Yuanzhen had brought many valuable items with him.
Bai He shook his head again, "There's still plenty of time before the one-month deadline Dugu Bo gave. Why the rush, Thunderclap Douluo?"
"What do you mean by that?" Yu Yuanzhen sensed an underlying message in Bai He's words and inquired further.
"I cannot divulge more, but I can assure you that as long as you do not initiate an attack on Poison Douluo, the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will remain unharmed during this remaining time."
Bai He did not mention anything about Tang Hao, as the matter involved the Haotian Sect.
Though he had already left the Haotian Sect, he was still Tang Hao's uncle, sharing some blood relation.
He could not casually reveal Tang Hao's news in front of Yu Yuanzhen.
Seeing Bai He unwilling to elaborate further, Yu Yuanzhen did not press on and left the room.
...
"Dugu Bo is sparing Yu Xiaogang and the others because Tang Hao is coming?!"
Qian Renxue stood up in shock upon hearing the latest news from Su Yun, reported by the snake lance douluo, visibly shaken.
In Qian Renxue's heart, Tang Hao had always been her archenemy, whom she wished to tear to pieces.
"Yes, miss."
"According to the message from Su Yun, since Tang Hao's last appearance and subsequent disappearance years ago, he has reappeared and is now colluding with Yu Xiaogang."
"It's said that the eighth-grade Immortal Blue Vine, which Yu Xiaogang auctioned for the external soul bone, was provided by Tang Hao."
"The purpose was to secure the most suitable external soul bone for Yu Xiaogang's disciple, who is also Tang Hao's son, Tang San."
"Moreover, the intelligence states that a disciple from Shrek Academy named Ah San is Tang San in disguise."
"As for why his appearance has changed, it's because..."
After the snake lance douluo finished relaying Su Yun's message, he noticed his mistress's changing expression.
He quickly added, "Su Yun has sent people to investigate, and Tang San has been missing since the auction ended. It's presumed that Tang Hao took him away."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue began to connect recent events in her mind, concluding that Tang Hao must return with Tang San, especially since the soul bone they auctioned for Tang San had not been absorbed.
"Indeed! Fate is on my side!" Qian Renxue clenched her fists, her soul power fluctuating as if she was about to reveal her true intentions.
Seeing this, the snake lance douluo stepped forward to stop her, "Miss! This matter cannot be handled recklessly!"
"Tang Hao is daring to show himself, likely because his body has recovered. With his strength from years ago, he was capable of overpowering the Pope. With just us, capturing him is impossible!"
"And don't forget, Yu Yuanzhen is also in the imperial city!"
Qian Renxue slammed the table and said in a low voice, "If Su Yun knows this, don't tell me Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo by his side don't know?"
"I refuse to believe they don't want to capture Tang Hao!"
"If they manage to capture Tang Hao, that woman's prestige within the Spirit Hall will be unstoppable!"
Qian Renxue did not want Bibi Dong to fully establish her foothold in the Spirit Hall.
The Porcupine Douluo also shook his head, advising earnestly, "Miss, please be cautious."
"Have you not been infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire for years to help the Spirit Hall seize control?"
"Tang Hao is strong, but he is just one man."
"When you become a Titled Douluo, capturing Tang Hao will be effortless. Why the rush?"
The snake lance douluo nodded, "A moment's patience may prevent a great disaster."
"Stealing one person is not as significant as taking a country, miss."
"Please reconsider, miss."
With the Titled Douluos' earnest persuasion, Qian Renxue's murderous intent towards Tang Hao gradually subsided and was hidden once again.
Seeing Qian Renxue restrain herself, the snake lance douluo and Porcupine Douluo sighed in relief, continuing, "Miss, if Tang Hao truly arrives, that night is not the time for us to intervene."
"As hidden pieces, we've been lying in wait for years and must not act rashly."
"Only someone like Su Yun, who is in the open, has the reason to act."
Now calm, Qian Renxue understood what the Titled Douluos by her side meant.
Currently, the peak forces of the Spirit Hall within the imperial city included only Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo by Su Yun's side, and the snake lance douluo and Porcupine Douluo by her side.
