Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 36 The Deal with Dugu Bo

"good!"

Xiao Yu nodded calmly.

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's admission, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed even colder, and his tone became increasingly menacing: "Boy, how did you find out about this?"

"Who is it?"

Ye Renxin was, after all, a Soul Douluo-level expert. Although his combat power was lacking, his mental perception was not bad. He sensed Dugu Bo's presence less than a minute after he entered and rushed over with a Soul Saint-level elder from another clan.

As for Ye Wentai, he sensed that the intruder's soul power fluctuations were extremely high. If a conflict were to break out, it would be no different from sending someone to their death. Therefore, he did not notify him or the other clansmen.

"Hiss—Your Majesty, Poison Douluo."

Ye Renxin only recognized the person when he got closer, and couldn't help but gasp. He quickly put on a smiling face and asked, "What brings the Poison Douluo to my Nine Hearts Begonia family?"

Ye Renxin was genuinely afraid of Dugu Bo, even more so than of any other Title Douluo. The reason was simple: Dugu Bo's ability to clear out enemies was simply too terrifying. While some of the other Title Douluos might be able to escape, if Dugu Bo were to make a move, and he released his innate poison, not a single member of the Nine Heart Begonia Clan would survive until tomorrow.

"Clan Chief Ye, rest assured, I'm not here to see you today, much less to cause trouble for your clan. My only target is this kid!"

Dugu Bo, still sporting that zombie-like expression, pointed at Xiao Yu and said, "Boy, in front of this old man, Clan Chief Ye can't protect you. Answer my questions honestly!"

Xiao Yu remained unfazed, showing no fear whatsoever of Dugu Bo: "Mr. Dugu, are you sure a solution isn't more important than your question?"

"You can solve it..."

Dugu Bo glanced at Ye Renxin before changing his tone, saying, "Can you resolve the matter that's currently troubling me?"

"certainly!"

Xiao Yu smiled calmly: "However, Mr. Dugu, everything comes at a price. I wonder what reward you can offer me?"

How dare you speak to a Title Douluo like that!

Upon hearing this, Ye Renxin nearly fainted. In all his decades of life, this was the first time he had ever seen someone reach out and ask a Title Douluo for something.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo burst into laughter, laughing for a long time before stopping. His eyes, filled with murderous intent, glared at Xiao Yu: "Boy, you have quite the nerve! Who gave you the audacity to extort a Title Douluo? Do you believe I have a thousand ways to make you talk? I've been immersed in the art of poison for decades; I have plenty of deadly poisons that will leave you wishing for death!"

"Mr. Dugu, it seems you don't want to have a proper talk. In that case, I'll have to let you calm down!"

Xiao Yu's voice remained calm: "Aiolia, Milo, let him calm down!"

"yes!"

"Yes, young master!"

Two clear, sharp voices rang out one after the other, and two figures appeared beside Xiao Yu. Both were dressed similarly, wearing golden armor. One had bronze skin, short brown hair, and an aura that emanated from him, like a golden lion sharpening its teeth in a fierce display. The other had fairer skin, long, flowing blue hair, and bright, penetrating eyes that seemed to see through everything.

What's even more astonishing are the nine spirit rings that rose above them: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically, his pupils contracted sharply, as if he couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at the two red soul rings.

What does a red spirit ring represent? How could a Title Douluo like him not know? It is the supreme existence among all spirit rings, the 100,000-year spirit ring ranked number one on the dream list of the spirit master world!

Ye Renxin, standing to the side, was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses and looked at Xiao Yu with joy in her eyes.

No wonder. He was curious at the time why Xiao Yu and his group of teenagers had traveled thousands of miles to Tian Dou City without any guards from their elders. It turned out that it wasn't that they didn't have any, but that the guards' cultivation levels were too high for him to sense.

At this moment, Ye Renxin no longer hesitated. A thirteen-year-old Soul Master, with a Soul Tool inheritance that could change the Nine Heart Begonia's lack of offensive power, and two Title Douluos who had the ninth Soul Ring at the level of 100,000 years, such a background meant that it was a great honor for the Nine Heart Begonia family to become his grandson-in-law. As for the Heaven Dou Royal Family, they could get as far away from him as possible!

The two level 95 Title Douluos unleashed their soul power, and the immense pressure instantly rendered Dugu Bo unable to move.

"Mr. Dugu, can we talk this out now?"

Xiao Yu looked at Dugu Bo, whose face had turned deathly pale, and said calmly.

"Who exactly are you people?"

Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly: "I, Dugu Bo, have never harbored any grudges against you. Are you from the Spirit Hall? What exactly do you want?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Dugu, we are not from the Spirit Hall!"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "As for my purpose, I think I've made it very clear from the beginning: I want to make a deal with Mr. Dugu!"

"What kind of deal?"

Dugu Bo immediately asked. Having finally cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo, he was naturally unwilling to die just like that. Moreover, he had a granddaughter. Over the years, he had acted erratically and offended countless people. If she lost his protection, his granddaughter, who was only a Soul Venerable, would be powerless to protect herself. He didn't even dare to think about what fate awaited her!

"I can solve your troubles, Mr. Dugu, and I can also solve your granddaughter's problems at the same time. In exchange, I have two conditions."

Xiao Yu held up one finger: "My first condition is that I want the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!"

Dugu Bo was completely bewildered: "What is that?"

Xiao Yu explained, "It's the place where you live. There's a spring there, half of which is as fiery as magma from the Earth's core, and the other half is as cold as the frigid lands of the far north."

So that's what they call the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire!

Dugu Bo suddenly realized that this kid was actually eyeing his territory!

That spring was a treasure he discovered more than a decade ago. The two opposing forces of cold and heat emanating from the spring actually had a suppressive effect on the toxins in his body, so he settled there. The area around the spring was full of various herbs that he didn't recognize. Although they looked precious, he didn't dare to eat them because he didn't know them.

"You went to all that trouble to lure me here using Yanyan, all for that spring. It seems that place is very important to you!"

Dugu Bo was somewhat annoyed; it seemed this kid had been plotting against him from the very beginning.

"My goal isn't just the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly and held up his second finger: "My second condition is that I hope Mr. Dugu will join my sect!"
