Yang Wudi and Tang San discussed continuously and discovered Tang San was also exceptionally skilled in poison-making, some so powerful that they were astonishing.
Yang Wudi was immensely impressed and accepted the precious herbs given by Tang San, sniffed them, and said, "Fragrant indeed."
The four clans joined the Tang Sect, and the next step was construction. Tang San and Titan planned to go to Gengxin City, the City of Construction, which was abundant with rare materials, mainly to collect materials for hidden weapons.
Niu Gao had already drawn up blueprints for Tang Sect's buildings, not a mansion, but rather like a fortress.
Tang Sect was founded, and the four clans joined, but development was still needed. There was time before the Martial Soul Hall's Seven Sects Re-election Conference.
Ye Yu returned to the academy, and soon an urgent voice was heard.
"Has Ye Yu returned yet?"
Ye Yu looked over; it was Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo, seeing Ye Yu, breathed a sigh of relief and said gravely, "There's something I need to tell you all."
At this time, Master, Flande, and Liu Erlong were all present.
Ye Yu seemed to have guessed and asked, "What is it?"
Dugu Bo said solemnly, "Emperor Xue Ye is about to fall."
Master frowned, "The poison hasn't been controlled?"
"At the time, I managed to control it using poison-against-poison technique, initially stabilizing it, but unexpectedly it suddenly flared again, extremely violently. Emperor Xue Ye's blood poison keeps transforming inside, and my Emerald-Scaled Snake Emperor Poison cannot work as poison-against-poison."
Ye Yu said, "I'll go to the Imperial Palace with you. Although my First Soul Skill is healing and restoring life, it can also alleviate and eliminate poison."
"Alright."
As they hurried, Dugu Bo gossiped, "Ye Yu, do you have a girlfriend yet? I think my..."
"Stop!"
Ye Yu helplessly said, "Let's not talk about this now."
Ye Yu felt he was truly becoming the nation's son-in-law.
Ye Yu and Dugu Bo, both Honored Guest Elders of the Royal Family, faced no obstruction and quickly arrived at the Snow Night Palace.
Upon arriving, soldiers blocked their way: "Honored Guests, His Majesty is resting. The Crown Prince has instructed no one is allowed to enter and disturb, or else be killed without mercy."
Ye Yu released his killing intent, not the Slaying God Domain, but the intense aura from the City of Slaughter and having killed too many, causing the soldier to collapse and faint.
Just as Ye Yu was about to enter, Xue Qinghe walked out.
"Brother Yu, it's you."
"I'm here to treat Xue Ye," Ye Yu said bluntly.
Xue Qinghe said, "My father is already in a stable condition. It's a critical time, and random treatment cannot be done."
Xue Qinghe changed the subject, "My father always wanted to match you with my sister, Xue Ke. Xue Ke also admires you. Do you want to find a time to meet?"
Ye Yu shook his head, finding an excuse, "I already have someone I like."
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe was surprised, feeling somewhat disappointed inwardly.
Next to him, Dugu Bo was more nervous, sighing that his granddaughter had no chance.
"Oh? May I know who it is that has won Brother Yu's favor? She must be an exceptionally talented woman?"
Ye Yu nodded, "Yes, very excellent."
Xue Qinghe wanted to ask if she was better than him, but his current identity was male, the Crown Prince.
Ye Yu said, "Let me go in and take a look."
Xue Qinghe shook his head, "No."
Ye Yu said, "No? Is it because you're not the Crown Prince?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Stop pretending. The previous Xue Qinghe didn't have the habit of entering women's bathrooms — you are disguised, and you're female."
Ye Yu's words made Xue Qinghe's expression change drastically, Dugu Bo was even more shocked.
Ye Yu directly attacked, punching out, instantly turning into a Dragon Claw.
Simultaneously, two terrifying auras attacked Ye Yu, causing Ye Yu's attack to stop. Two people shielded Xue Qinghe.
Ye Yu said, "The two hidden Titled Douluo, surely your people. They must be Martial Soul Hall's Snake Spear and Thorny Porcupine Douluo. Apparently, you truly are from Martial Soul Hall."
Dugu Bo realized, "People from the Martial Soul Hall, I see. They want to control Tian Dou Royal Family this way."
Xue Qinghe looked upset, "You've discovered it, but so what, even you can't stop it. Attack!"
Snake Spear and Thorny Porcupine, the two Titled Douluo, attacked. Dugu Bo dashed towards Thorny Porcupine, Snake Spear charged at Ye Yu.
Around them, Martial Soul Hall Soul Masters disguised as reinforcements didn't act but quickly retreated, fearing Ye Yu's Realm of Apocalypse.
Dugu Bo was level ninety-two, Thorny Porcupine level ninety-five, there was some disparity in strength, but Ye Yu's Slaying God Domain quickly permeated, weakening their strength, while releasing his Martial Soul, augmenting attributes for Dugu Bo and himself.
Instantly, Dugu Bo and Thorny Porcupine's combat equaled.
Snake Spear Douluo's strength was suppressed by nineteen percent, but he could still hold Ye Yu off. He knew Ye Yu's full strength was equivalent to level ninety-one. Despite suppressed, he still possessed strength equivalent to level ninety-three.
Snake Spear Douluo wielded his Artifact Martial Soul, a snake spear, surrounded by nine soul rings pulsating.
No need to use any soul techniques, just the Unity of Man and Spear, truly integrated, reaching a terrifying synchronization.
Dugu Bo released poison, but a bizarre scene appeared — Thorny Porcupine Douluo's body spikes absorbed the green toxic mist, seemingly unharmed.
Evidently, Martial Soul Hall sent Thorny Porcupine Douluo specifically to counter Dugu Bo, this Thorny Porcupine Douluo restrained poison attribute Soul Masters. So, even with Ye Yu's Slaying God Domain weakening and soul technique amplifying, Dugu Bo was only able to equal Thorny Porcupine Douluo.
At this time, Martial Soul Hall.
Bibi Dong briefly emerged from seclusion to inquire about recruiting sects, but found out no first-class sect was willing to join, her expression turned grim.
"What's going on?"
Second Honored Guest Elder said gravely, "The matter of Ye Yu exterminating all Seven Sects single-handedly has spread. Though previously surrounding residents were controlled by us, evidently Ye Yu had pre-arranged people, now this matter has widely spread, first-class sects all refuse to be recruited. On the one hand, they fear Ye Yu; on the other, they believe we won't have the resources to deal with them."
"Damn it, it's because of him again." Bibi Dong was extremely angry.
Second Honored Guest Elder said, "However, there is good news — the royal family operation has already begun. Soon Tian Dou Royal Family will be under Martial Soul Hall's control."
"Previously the Soul Hunting and Beast Hunting both failed. This time it won't fail, right?" Bibi Dong frowned.
"No, the royal family only has one threat to us — Dugu Bo, send Thorny Porcupine and Snake Spear, two elders to assist the Saintess, Dugu Bo will be helpless. The royal family operation will certainly succeed, believe it won't take two days. Control Tian Dou Royal Family, the Saintess inherits under Xue Qinghe's identity, cooperate with our Martial Soul Hall, then take down Xingluo Empire, finally carrying out Soul Hunting operation again, the Upper Three Sects will surely be destroyed! Even if Ye Yu intervenes, it's futile; the previous Soul Hunting's failure was purely because Saint Dragon Douluo was restrained, and Great Tributor Honored Guest Elder was somewhat timid. If Great Tributor had gone, Ye Yu's intervention would have been useless."
"Hmm, then I will continue cultivating. Hopefully, after I'm out of seclusion, the royal family will already be under our control."
"Rest assured, Pope, you focus on cultivation, once you're out, Martial Soul Hall and Tian Dou Royal Family will capture Xingluo Empire, from now on we will truly become more and more..."
The second Honored Guest Elder hadn't finished speaking when a scout rushed in, shouting urgently: "Report!!"
For some reason, hearing the scout's anxious voice, Bibi Dong and the Second Honored Guest Elder were inexplicably uneasy.
