Douluo: Reincarnated in Danheng, a Unique Journey of Pioneering

Chapter 37: Is the eldest brother not here?

"Is the information true?"

The beautiful woman stood alone by the window, the silvery moonlight falling upon her, adding to her serene beauty.

"It's true. It's said that the avalanche was so frightened by this man named Danheng that he was paralyzed on the ground."

In the shadows of the room, a burly old man could be vaguely seen, responding promptly to the beautiful woman's question.

"Really? Is an avalanche really that bad?"

Upon hearing this, a slight smile appeared on the beautiful woman's exquisite and charming face.

"My brother, who was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, has truly disgraced the royal family."

With a wave of her hand, the letter containing the intelligence instantly turned to ashes and vanished completely.

“Go investigate this Dan Heng and see what gives him the confidence to act this way even after knowing Xue Beng’s identity.”

"Yes."

The next moment, the old man's figure disappeared from the shadows, leaving only one person in the room.

"Danheng, heh, this is interesting."

"You idiot! You actually got scared to the ground by a lowly commoner! You've disgraced the royal family!"

Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, after hearing what Xue Beng said, Prince Xue Xing immediately flew into a rage and grabbed the jade artifact beside him, ready to smash it at Xue Beng.

However, he eventually put the jade back in its original place. It was a gift from his elder brother, Emperor Xueye, and he couldn't smash it.

"Uncle, you can't blame me! Who knew that person wouldn't fall for my tricks? Knowing I'm a prince, he still dared to act like this!"

"If he's a suicidal fool, I'd just kill him and run away. Even if we caught him later, it wouldn't matter, would it? Besides, that guy's aura is really terrifying."

He couldn't find anywhere to cry when the avalanche happened, so he felt that this was the best way to handle it.

If we continue to entangle him and provoke Dan Heng into killing him, wouldn't that be tantamount to handing over the throne to Xue Qinghe?
He idled away his days, arrogant and domineering, disguising himself as a playboy, all to avoid Xue Qinghe's schemes.

If I lose my life here at Danheng, all my previous efforts will have been in vain!

As for being paralyzed with fear, given Danheng's condition, even his father would probably be drenched in sweat if he were in that situation!

"That makes sense, but now the entire Heaven Dou City knows that you were intimidated by a commoner. What about the royal family's reputation?"

After calming down, Prince Xuexing thought about it carefully and realized that what Xuebeng said made sense.

"What's the big deal? These people in Tiandou City just love to gossip. In a couple of days, just throw out some other interesting news to get them talking, and it won't be long before nobody mentions it anymore."

"Moreover, wouldn't this incident just make Xue Qinghe lower his guard against me even further? At worst, I'll just get a scolding from Father."

The avalanche explanation immediately caught Prince Xuexing's eye; this was indeed a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation!

"Wow, I didn't expect you to think of that. Not bad."

"At that time, I will put in a good word for you before His Majesty and try my best to get him to reduce your punishment."

Xue Beng smirked and said that he wasn't afraid, which is called being wise in a foolish way, you know!

"However, this Danheng has shown contempt for the dignity of the royal family and intimidated the prince; his crime deserves death!"

With the avalanche issue resolved, Prince Xuexing turned his attention to Danheng.

It's one thing for Xue Beng to use Dan Heng's matter to deceive Xue Qinghe, but it's another thing for Dan Heng to disregard the royal family.

"Uncle, what do you plan to do?"

Xue Beng was also filled with resentment. This was the first time he had made such a fool of himself since he became a playboy!

"Hmph, I've already sent someone to contact a powerful expert and have him come and take care of Dan Heng!"

Prince Xuexing's white eyebrows shot up, his hands clenched so tightly that he deformed the armrests of his chair. "Solve it directly? But that Dan Heng should have some strength. I saw that Qin Ming in the academy treated him quite respectfully."

"Qin Ming?"

Prince Xuexing frowned. He knew Qin Ming; at such a young age, he was already a Soul Emperor, and his future achievements would surely be remarkable.

However, the thought of the powerful expert he was about to invite gradually eased Prince Xuexing's furrowed brows.
"Don't worry, the person I invited is a master killer. Even if Dan Heng is quite strong, he can't possibly defeat this person."

"Could it be"

Avalanche had already guessed who Prince Snowstar was talking about, and he began to feel excited.

If that lord were to intervene, he would definitely be able to deal with Dan Heng!
Just then, a servant came to report:
"Your Highness the Prince!"

"what's up?"

Prince Xuexing thought it was the powerful expert he had invited, so he quickly stood up from his seat, his face full of smiles, ready to greet him.

"Poison, it seems that His Majesty Poison Douluo has gone out!"

"Out?"

Prince Xuexing was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively, somewhat displeased.

Why did Dugu Bo have to go out at this crucial moment, of all times? It's such a hassle!
"It's alright. When His Majesty the Poison Douluo returns, that will be Dan Heng's death day!"

"Now, it wouldn't hurt to let him live a little longer!"

Prince Xuexing forced a smile at Xue Beng; the uncle and nephew both understood each other's meaning.

"Let's go. I'll take you to His Majesty to accept your punishment and let this matter pass as soon as possible."

"Ah~"

"What do you mean 'oh'? If you had been more assertive, this punishment wouldn't have fallen on you."

The avalanche made him look miserable; he deserved the punishment, and there was no escaping it no matter how hard he tried!

"Your Majesty, I hope you can return as soon as possible."

With his elder brother absent, Prince Xuexing could only wait patiently.

After all, Dan Heng must be quite powerful to command Qin Ming's respect. If he were to rely on his status to go, his life would be in danger.

Although he was nominally the superior of the three chairpersons of the teaching committee of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, he could not necessarily order them to kill; at most, he could only order them to protect him.

If he fails to take down Dan Heng in one fell swoop and leaves behind future troubles, he will definitely be unable to eat or sleep in peace!
"How are you? Can you walk now?"

The next day, Danheng found Dugu Bo, who was still sitting in the garden, looking somewhat haggard.

"Of course, please follow me."

Upon seeing Dan Heng arrive, Dugu Bo responded weakly, then stood up, took a deep breath, and led the way for Dan Heng.

"What, thinking about your granddaughter?"

Seeing Dugu Bo's absent-minded appearance, Dan Heng knew what he was thinking.

"How ridiculous it is that a person who uses poison cannot cure the poison in his own body, nor can he cure the poison in the body of his loved ones."

Dan Heng remained silent, unless Dugu Bo could produce something he had never seen before to help him advance the solidification of the carriage.

Otherwise, given Dugu Bo's repeated attempts to poison him, he wouldn't have become that pushover.

Danheng has lost the healing power of the Dragon Lord, but how strong can the poison in a place like Douluo Continent be?
The most potent poison that Dugu Bo had used on him before disappeared from his body in less than a second.

"I hope your medicinal herb garden can be of some help to me."
