Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

The Spirit Hall also recognized his ability and wanted to recruit him, but he refused, citing his unwillingness to be bound by any power.

Why are you suddenly asking about him? Which of his relatives have you offended this time?

Bibi Dong's suspicions were not without reason. After all, Chen Yao was far too capable of causing trouble, and if his dirty deeds were exposed...

This can be described as directly offending the Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, two of the most powerful forces in the Douluo Continent.

Several lives wouldn't be enough to kill!

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao replied...

"I haven't offended them, but it'll be soon. I've discovered that Dugu Bo's son and daughter-in-law are currently in Wuhun City, but they are both quite powerful, at the Soul King level."

I don't have the authority to mobilize that level of enforcement team, so I want you to give the order to bring his son and daughter-in-law to the Spirit Hall to lure Dugu Bo out.

Bibi Dong was even more puzzled upon hearing this. Chen Yao was usually terrified of death and would run far away at the first sign of danger. Why would he take the initiative to provoke a Soul Douluo this time?

Could it be that he's taken a fancy to someone else's daughter-in-law?

This guess flashed through her mind, and combined with Chen Yao's character, Bibi Dong suddenly felt that she had guessed the truth.

A surge of anger welled up inside him, and he raised an eyebrow, speaking coldly.

"Why should I help you? I can't possibly provoke a Soul Douluo-level enemy for the Spirit Hall just for your sake."

Chen Yao knew that Bibi Dong would never take a Soul Douluo who used poison seriously, and he was puzzled as to why Bibi Dong was so determined to refuse.

However, Chen Yao was not annoyed, since he still needed Bibi Dong's help with his plans. The poisonous gas barrier in front of Dugu Bo's herb garden was an insurmountable obstacle for him.

But to Bibi Dong, those poisonous gases were fresher than air.

Therefore, Chen Yao did not intend to hide it from Bibi Dong.

Then, under Bibi Dong's puzzled gaze, Chen Yao took out a book from his pocket, which was the Complete Guide to Immortal Herbs that Bibi Dong had previously obtained from Yue Guan.

Chen Yao turned to one of the pages, pointed to a painting of a pure white plant with two leaves that resembled a swan bowing its head, and smiled.

"The Snow Swan Kiss amplifies toxins a thousandfold. Ordinary people would avoid such a terrifying poison like the plague, but your martial soul, as the most powerful poison-type martial soul on the continent, should be able to absorb it easily."

If you successfully absorb it, the toxins in your martial soul will be amplified, and there's no guarantee that your martial soul won't evolve again.

You really dislike the form of your Martial Soul Possession, right? You said that after your Martial Soul evolves, will it be possible to change the form of your Martial Soul Possession?

Chen Yao confidently explained the effect of the Snow Swan Kiss. ​​She didn't believe that Bibi Dong wouldn't take the bait.

As soon as Chen Yao spoke, Bibi Dong's gaze was drawn to the pure white and beautiful plant, which carried a deadly danger. Her eyes were filled with longing.

But soon, Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze with difficulty and sneered.

"What does this have to do with you having designs on Dugu Bo's son and daughter-in-law? This Snow Swan Kiss is among the rarest herbs, something countless people would never encounter in their entire lives."

Elder Yueguan spent most of his life searching for a rare and precious chrysanthemum, yet he could never even catch a glimpse of it. This Snow-White Swan's Kiss is even more valuable than the chrysanthemum. Can you produce it?

Bibi Dong scoffed at Chen Yao, her face showing impatience.

That damned Chen Yao, instead of getting down to business, he comes up with unrealistic ideas to deceive her. What a scoundrel!

"Although I may talk nonsense, I would never use something like this to deceive you and humiliate myself. I tied up that couple to distract Dugu Bo."

Dugu Bo himself was proficient in poisons, but did not understand pharmacology. He occupied a medicinal garden, but did not know its value.

That medicinal garden was exceptionally blessed; even rare herbs were found everywhere, including that one, the Snow-White Swan's Kiss!

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's face froze. Then she suddenly stood up, grabbed Chen Yao's shoulders tightly, and said breathlessly.

"Are you telling the truth?!"

Seeing Bibi Dong's reckless behavior, Chen Yao looked at her with disdain, and expressionlessly slapped her hands away before saying in an annoyed tone.

"Otherwise, do you think I would offend Dugu Bo's family for no reason? You send someone to arrest that couple, lure Dugu Bo out, and then have Elder Yueguan and Elder Guimei hold Dugu Bo back while we go to his herb garden to get the medicine."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong nodded excitedly, but then expressed her doubt.

"Why go through all this trouble? Why don't I just have the teacher kill Dugu Bo?"

But Chen Yao immediately let out a cold laugh.

"If you get your teacher to handle it, do you think I'll even get a chance to get anything from that herb garden?"

Chapter 51 Dugu Bo

Then, as if remembering something, Chen Yao spoke up again.

"I'm warning you, if any other powerful figures appear after I take you to that herb garden, I will immediately activate their martial spirit and cause them to explode and die!"

Chen Yao glared at Bibi Dong with an extremely ferocious and ruthless expression. The Land of Immortal Herbs was the only way for him to change his current situation, and he absolutely could not allow any mistakes!

Bibi Dong was terrified by Chen Yao's ferocious expression, and a sudden panic gripped her heart.

She knew what Chen Yao meant. Her unintentional words aroused Chen Yao's suspicion, fearing that she would inform the Spirit Hall and discard him after she had served her purpose. But she had no such intention at all.

At this moment, Bibi Dong looked somewhat at a loss and hurriedly tried to explain.

But Chen Yao didn't give Bibi Dong that chance at all. After leaving those words behind, he turned and left.

Bibi Dong was left alone in the empty living room, her expression blank, her eyes dim, filled with anxiety and uncertainty.

······

The next day.

In a luxurious room at an inn in the heart of Wuhun City.

A middle-aged man with a full head of blue hair and a somewhat sinister expression was roaring loudly at the group of unruly law enforcement officers who had barged into their room, dressed in standard armor.

"You bastards, do you know who I am? My father is Dugu Bo! How dare you!"

Meanwhile, in a corner of the room, a woman dressed in a cheongsam, with a beautiful face, a plump figure, and her hair styled in an updo, exuded the charm of a mature woman.

Holding a baby girl in his arms, he looked at the unfriendly law enforcement officers and cried helplessly.

"Hmph, Dugu Bo? I know, a Soul Douluo! But this is the Spirit Hall. Even a Title Douluo must bow down before the radiance of an angel!"

Inside the enforcement team, the leader, upon hearing this, immediately spoke with disdain, and then added...

"Dugu Xin, Shangguan Rui, after investigation, there are some problems with your entry documents. We now suspect that you have illegally entered Wuhun City and are hereby arrested!"

After saying that, the commander looked at the several guards behind him, waved his hand, and shouted.

"take away!"

The guards immediately understood and, ignoring the blue-haired man's violent struggles, escorted the family of three to the Spirit Hall's dungeon.

Half a day after the three were taken away, a deep green light burst forth in Wuhun City, accompanied by terrifying soul power that swept across the entire city!

"Damn it! Spirit Hall, hand over my son!"

At that moment, amidst the intense green light, an old man with a full green beard and a thin figure stepped out and roared angrily in front of the Spirit Hall!

This person was none other than Dugu Bo!

Although in the Douluo Continent today, soul tools are not advanced and there are no soul tools for communication.

However, as a powerful Contra user, he has an extensive network of connections, coupled with the behind-the-scenes manipulation of certain individuals.

Dugu Bo, who was in the Heaven Dou Empire, received news that afternoon that his son, daughter-in-law, and even his granddaughter who was less than half a year old had been framed and imprisoned by the Spirit Hall!

Immediately, disregarding the cost of his soul power, he arrived at Martial Soul City in just a few hours, ready to demand an explanation!

However, just as the emerald green soul power was about to crush the Spirit Hall building, two streams of soul power, one yellow and one black, swept in from within the Spirit Hall, blocking the emerald light.

Immediately afterwards, a neutral voice, whose gender was indistinguishable, rang out.

“Old Poisoner, you could have used a little more force and alerted the people upstairs. That way, you wouldn’t have had to leave Wuhun City today.”

As the voice faded, a flamboyant man with a brightly colored long robe, a slender figure, and light makeup on his face, whose gender was indistinguishable, and another figure hidden in the thick black fog, slowly appeared in front of the Spirit Hall's gate.

It was Bibi Dong's two confidants, Juyue Guan and Guimei!

Looking at that flamboyant man, Dugu Bo felt a wave of nausea wash over him. His face turned ugly and contorted as he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"It was your Spirit Hall that bullied us first! My son and his entourage entered the city on business, and they had the Heaven Dou Empire's travel documents. How could their paperwork be incomplete? You are clearly slandering them! Release my son and his entourage immediately!"

However, Yue Guan's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, and he smiled faintly.

“Old Poisoner, whether the passage documents can be used for passage needs to be decided by my Spirit Hall. Since someone has noticed that there is a problem with their entry, then we need to cooperate in the investigation.”

"That's just sophistry! This is all your one-sided story! Does your Spirit Hall think you can be so domineering?"

Dugu Bo glared angrily and roared.

"This is how we, the Spirit Hall, do things!"

Yue Guan smiled, and then continued.

"And you, you old poisoner, have been releasing your soul power indiscriminately in the city, disrupting order. Now it's not just your sons anymore; you'll have to come with us too."

After saying that, Yue Guan's smile remained, but golden soul power surged from his body, pressing tightly towards Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo's expression changed at this moment. As the most ridiculed and weakest Soul Douluo, this was no joke.

Sensing Yue Guan's soul power, he felt a strong pressure.

Subconsciously, Dugu Bo clenched his fists, feeling unwilling, but then he thought of something, relaxed, and snorted coldly.

"Fine, I'll leave! Do you think I'm afraid of you? I, Dugu Bo, have never offended the Spirit Hall. I refuse to believe you can kill me for no reason!"

Dugu Bo shouted these words so loudly that almost everyone in Wuhun City heard them.

He knew that if the Spirit Hall really wanted to keep him, he would have no power to resist.

So rather than resisting stubbornly, it's better to comply. It'll be a good opportunity to see the condition of his son and daughter-in-law. Besides, he's been brought into the Spirit Hall in front of everyone.

He refused to believe that the Spirit Hall would risk its reputation for a mere Soul Douluo like him!

As Dugu Bo and Yue Guan entered the Spirit Hall, two figures slowly emerged from the shadows in a secluded corner.

As the dim light fell upon them, it was clear that the two were Chen Yao and Bibi Dong.

"I have already instructed Elder Yueguan and the others that Dugu Bo will stay in the Spirit Hall this time to monitor for a period of three months."

Bibi Dong spoke.
