Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 51 Stealing Bones

Jiang Li is currently traveling back to Tiandou City with Dugu Bo and his grandson.

During his rest, Jiang Li suddenly remembered something important.

That concerns the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.

According to the timeline in the original work, Tang San has now finished his first year of school and returned to Holy Soul Village.

However, they discovered a letter left by Tang Hao, saying that he had already left, and that before leaving, Tang Hao had specifically asked Yu Xiaogang for some instructions.

This is enough to prove that Tang Hao has indeed temporarily left Tang San because of some matter.

As for why he was so confident that his son wouldn't be targeted, it was naturally because there weren't many powerful figures around Nottingham City.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li's heart couldn't help but burn with passion.

Thinking about it this way, now is the best time for him to steal, no, to secretly take away the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.

Moreover, given his current ability to communicate with the Blue Silver Grass, Tang Hao did not leave even in the worst-case scenario.

I can also find some clues by communicating with Blue Silver Grass.

After thinking it over, Jiang Li had made up his mind.

The current timeline is the most favorable for him. If Tang Hao returns after a while...

Therefore, it is almost impossible to obtain that 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone from this person.

Because Tang Hao had a moment of explosive power in the original work, when he single-handedly fought against seven Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall.

Such a terrifying record is something that even if Dugu Bo had cultivated the Yin-Yang Technique and solved his martial soul problem, it would be absolutely impossible for him to achieve at present.

But after making up his mind about this matter, Jiang Li couldn't help but show some distress.

What excuse should I use to tell Dugu Bo that he is leaving now?

It wasn't that Jiang Li didn't trust Dugu Bo; it was mainly because the things involved behind this matter were just too tempting.

What is the value of a 100,000-year-old soul bone?

To put it simply, if those three soul bones, each tens of thousands of years old, hadn't been in the hands of the Spirit Hall...

In the martial arts world, this would definitely be enough to provoke several shameless Soul Masters to directly engage in combat.

It's even possible that a Title Douluo might secretly intervene if a 100,000-year-old soul bone were truly made public.

It's likely that the top powers across the entire continent will be locked in a bloody battle because of this soul bone.

Faced with such temptations, the idea of ​​fathers and sons killing each other or husbands and wives killing each other is absolutely not just a joke.

Therefore, Jiang Li only planned to go alone regarding this matter.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Li turned to Dugu Bo, clasped his hands in greeting, and said.

"Master, I will not be returning to Tiandou City for the time being. When I was young, I met someone who helped me a lot. Although he has passed away, I haven't paid my respects to him for a long time. Now that the time is approaching, please give me seven days to return."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo could only nod slightly, because it was indeed something Jiang Li should do, and given Jiang Li's personality, he shouldn't have encountered any risks.

However, to ensure Jiang Li's safety, Dugu Bo still handed over his own Title Douluo token to the other party and gave him some instructions.

"As your teacher, I naturally cannot interfere in this matter. This is my token after breaking through to the next level. If you encounter someone you cannot defeat, you can show it to them. Also, if you do not return to Tiandou City by the eighth day, I will set off immediately. Remember to be careful on your journey."

"Yes, I will obey your orders."

A moment later, watching the backs of Dugu Bo and his grandson completely disappear, Jiang Li held Dugu Bo's token and couldn't help but apologize to Dugu Bo in his heart.

"Master, please don't blame me for concealing this matter; the fewer people who know about it, the better..."

Jiang Li naturally knew how valuable the token in his hand was. Generally speaking, a titled Douluo would only give his most trusted offspring his exclusive standee to ensure their safety when traveling outside.

The fact that Dugu Bo gave her his token already shows that she was almost as valuable as Dugu Yan in Dugu Bo's eyes.

Even under such circumstances, Jiang Li still chose to be wary of the other party, naturally feeling somewhat guilty.

However, Jiang Li's feelings did not last long, and she made up her mind.

When I am granted a title in the future, I will surely treat my master well and reveal some things that I kept from my youth.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li rushed to the Kingdom of Barak.

On the other side, as Dugu Bo and his grandson approached Tiandou City, Dugu Yan finally turned to look at Dugu Bo and expressed her inner confusion.

"Grandpa, if Xiaoli is going back to pay respects, why don't we go back together?"

Seeing his granddaughter ask such a question, Dugu Bo felt a sense of helplessness.

Having spent so much time together, he naturally knew quite a bit about his disciple.

From acquaintance to friendship, he could tell that Jiang Li had always been hiding a part of her secret.

But Dugu Bo didn't want to investigate, after all, everyone has secrets hidden deep in their hearts.

He could sense that Jiang Li treated him and his grandson with sincerity, so Jiang Li would naturally reveal these things when the time was right.

For now, Dugu Bo can only try to fool him for the time being.

"Perhaps Xiao Li has some embarrassing past experiences. You can ask him to tell you about them when you get married."

"Yes, yes, then when we get married in the future, I must ask Xiao Li about her past... no! Grandpa! Who wants to marry Xiao Li!"

At first, Dugu Yan couldn't help but mutter to herself, but after realizing something was wrong, she looked at Dugu Bo, who had a mischievous grin on his face.

Dugu Yan's face flushed red, and then she couldn't help but tug at Dugu Bo's beard.

"Hey, hey, hey! Yan Yan, Grandpa was wrong! Grandpa's beard can't be lost!"

"..."

Amidst laughter and playful banter, the grandfather and grandson finally ended their year-long journey and returned home.

After learning of this news, the top forces from all sides in Tiandou City...

They all wanted to go and inquire, because a year ago, Dugu Bo had left Tiandou City for no reason.

They initially told Emperor Xueye that it would be half a year, but it was extended by double. No one would believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

But after Dugu Bo returned, he only went out once from beginning to end.

That is, he gave the Heavenly Dou Royal Family a sham, found an excuse for the extra six months, and then chose to continue living in seclusion.

Meanwhile, inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi frowned after hearing the news about Dugu Bo.

Seeing this, the other two swordsmen behind him couldn't help but start discussing the matter.

After the two discussed for a long time without reaching a conclusion, Dugu Bo's strength had only increased by one level in the past year, and he didn't seem to have made any other moves.

However, Ning Fengzhi's gaze involuntarily turned towards the Sunset Forest where Dugu Bo lived. After looking for a long time, he couldn't help but think of the appearance of a young boy.

Then, with a somewhat confident tone, he slowly began to speak.

"Perhaps others have forgotten one thing, and that is Jiang Li, a disciple of Dugu Bo."

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi mention Jiang Li, the Sword Bone Douluo couldn't help but think of Jiang Li's image.

Thinking of that somewhat mysterious young man, Sword Douluo pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.

"Indeed, almost everyone's attention is focused on Dugu Bo, but no one has mentioned the whereabouts of his disciple, and it's even uncertain whether he returned with him."

Bone Douluo wasn't particularly surprised by this. Instead, he yawned and spoke in a somewhat Zen-like manner.

"He's just a kid around ten years old. Is he worth Dugu Bo disappearing for a year to keep him company?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo fell silent.

Indeed, it is highly unlikely that someone of Dugu Bo's stature would disappear for a year for the sake of a disciple.

After all, even if they were asked to disappear for a year for the sake of their beloved Rongrong, they might not be able to do it.

However, Ning Fengzhi had a vague feeling that this matter might really be as impossible as Bone Douluo said. You know, Dugu Bo is famous not only for his poison skills, but also for his unpredictable way of doing things.

It would be impossible for them, but for Dugu Bo, and that kid he couldn't quite figure out, perhaps things really might be different...

In just three days, while the higher-ups of the entire Heavenly Dou Layer were wondering why Dugu Bo had suddenly disappeared for a year...

At the entrance of Holy Soul Village, a figure unlike any seen before appeared.
