Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 50 The Jade Scale Begonia Enters the Sect

"good!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's offer, Meng Shenji quickly nodded. The Heavenly Dou Royal Family lacked everything, but money was the one thing they had in abundance.

Xiao Yu turned to Dugu Bo and said, "Senior Dugu, please remove his petrification and let him go back to deliver a message."

Dugu Bo nodded, activated his Soul Bone skill, and with a flash of two white lights, Meng Shenji had returned to its original state.

After releasing Meng Shenji from petrification, Dugu Bo looked at Meng Shenji and said solemnly, "When you get back, please tell Prince Xuexing that I no longer owe him anything, and I will no longer be a guest of the Tiandou Empire. By the way, Yanzi will also withdraw from the Tiandou Royal Academy, and we will have no further connection with each other."

Dugu Bo wasn't stupid. If Xue Ye and Xue Xing hadn't given their approval, Meng Shenji and the others wouldn't have dared to come to the door with Yu Yuanzhen. Moreover, there were two royal retainers from the Tian Dou Empire. Meng Shenji didn't have that much authority to mobilize them.

Meng Shenji looked dejected and nodded helplessly. This time, he really tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. Not only did he not gain any benefit, but he also had to lose a lot of money. Even the only titled Douluo with the label of the Heaven Dou Empire was forced to leave. It was all the fault of that old bastard Yu Yuanzhen!

"Meng Shenji, it's no longer suitable for Lingling to stay at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Please arrange her withdrawal from the school."

Ye Renxin also took the opportunity to speak. After witnessing Xiao Yu's background and the emotional bond between his beloved granddaughter and him, he had long wanted Ye Lingling to drop out of school and go with Xiao Yu. After all, with Xiao Yu's background and talent, there was probably no girl on the continent who wouldn't be tempted. If Lingling wasn't by his side, who knew when someone else would beat her to it.

However, if he rashly proposed to withdraw from school, the Heavenly Dou royal family would definitely be displeased, and he had been looking for a suitable opportunity. Now that the Heavenly Dou royal family had taken action against Xiao Yu without any regard for the reputation of Nine Heart Begonia, it gave him a perfect opportunity to sever ties.

Meng Shenji nodded again. Ye Renxin's reaction was within his expectations. Dugu Yan was already preparing to drop out of school, let alone Ye Lingling. Xiao Yu had only temporarily stayed at the Nine Heart Begonia family's residence when he first arrived in Tiandou City; he knew this before he took action.

"Get out of here, go back and raise the money!"

Having finished explaining everything, Xiao Yu waved to Meng Shenji nonchalantly. Although Meng Shenji was well-regarded in the original story, he had gone to great lengths to kill him, so there was no need for Xiao Yu to be polite to him.

Although he was being yelled at by a junior, Meng Shenji didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction when he thought of the two powerful Title Douluos with 100,000-year soul rings behind him. He meekly took his leave.

After Meng Shenji walked away, Dugu Bo suddenly turned around and bowed to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was genuinely startled by Dugu Bo's deep bow and quickly dodged it, asking, "Senior Dugu, what are you doing?"

"Brother Xiao, I, Dugu Bo, misjudged people and almost caused a disaster. If it weren't for you two being here today, I'm afraid my grandfather and I would not have escaped this calamity!"

Dugu Bo was right. If Xiao Yu hadn't been so reluctant to give up the precious land of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and decided to build a branch here, Dugu Bo alone would probably have faced certain death in the face of the siege by Yu Yuanzhen and the others. Dugu Yan would have been kidnapped by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who would have tried every means to study the secret of martial soul evolution from her.

"Now that my grandfather and I have nowhere to go, I wonder if Brother Xiao's second condition from that day still holds true?"

"Of course it counts!"

Xiao Yu stepped forward to help Dugu Bo up: "This junior has long admired Senior Dugu's reputation. Senior Dugu's joining the sect is truly like adding wings to a tiger. From now on, Senior Dugu will be an elder of the Nine Star Hall, and together with Senior Yang Wudi, you will be stationed in the Tiandou City branch."

"Xiao Xiao".

Ye Renxin also spoke up, saying, "After today's events, I'm afraid my Nine Heart Begonia has nowhere to go in the Heaven Dou Empire. I wonder if the Nine Star Palace could grant me a place?"

Ye Renxin did not perform the grand ceremony like Dugu Bo. After all, Xiao Yu was, in a sense, his prospective grandson-in-law. If he performed the grand ceremony of kowtowing to his junior, would he have to perform the same ceremony to his granddaughter in the future?

"Of course, the Nine Heart Begonia's healing abilities are unparalleled on the continent. I think no sect would refuse it."

Xiao Yu smiled slightly. He was suddenly grateful to Yu Yuanzhen. If it weren't for his actions that pushed the Tian Dou royal family to the opposite side of Jiu Xin Hai Tang and Dugu Bo, he wouldn't have been able to win over these two powerful allies so easily.

Meanwhile, Meng Shenji left Sunset Forest and rushed back to Tiandou City without stopping, heading straight for the imperial city.

. . . . . . . . . .

Snapped!

Upon hearing Meng Shenji's report, Emperor Xueye's teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Fear, frustration, anger, resentment—a complex mix of emotions coursed through the emperor's face, his expressions shifting dramatically.

Prince Xuexing, standing to his side, was now filled with regret. If he had known earlier that the brat Xiao Yu, whom Yu Yuanzhen was going to deal with, had such a background, how could he have chosen to betray Dugu Bo and choose Yu Yuanzhen instead?

Two titled Douluo with 100,000-year soul rings! What a terrifying force this is! And Dugu Bo is clearly on good terms with them. If he continues to be on good terms with Dugu Bo, as long as he handles things properly, he can gain a powerful ally that might be even stronger than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future.

Standing opposite Prince Xue Xing, Qian Renxue, disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Kingdom, also had a somewhat blank look in her eyes. If it were just two Title Douluos, it wouldn't have made her lose her composure. After all, the number of Title Douluos in the Spirit Hall ranks first in the entire continent. There are nine elders, six grand masters, her grandfather, and that woman, all of whom are Title Douluo powerhouses.

What truly surprised her was the combination of these two Title Douluos' spirit rings—those were 100,000-year spirit rings! Among the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall, only her grandfather, the Second Elder Golden Crocodile Douluo, and that woman she least wanted to mention possessed 100,000-year spirit rings.

Where exactly did this mysterious force, the Nine Star Palace, come from? What kind of foundation does their sect possess? Will they interfere with the Spirit Hall's plan to unify the continent? We must find out the situation of the Nine Star Palace!

"Qinghe, Qinghe?"

Just as Qian Renxue was deep in thought, Emperor Xueye's voice rang in her ears. Qian Renxue quickly snapped out of her reverie, prostrated herself, and begged for forgiveness, saying, "Your subject was so shocked by what Lord Meng Shenji reported that I lost my composure. Please forgive me, Father Emperor!"

"It's alright!"

Xue Ye waved his hand dismissively. Even he was flustered by the sudden news, let alone Xue Qinghe, who was less experienced than him. "Qinghe, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled? The other party is asking for 25 million gold soul coins. Although the Empire can raise that amount, it doesn't come from thin air!"
