Douluo: Martial Soul Asura Sword, Supreme Killing God

In that case, he would probably blame himself for the rest of his life.

"Dad, I'm fine," Dugu Xin said with a smile.

Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Dugu Xin was unharmed.

"By the way, Dad, who is that expert?" Dugu Xin asked curiously.

Dugu Bo said, "You should have heard of him. He is Su Mo, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."

"What! It's actually the legendary Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?" Dugu Xin was shocked.

Almost everyone in Tiandou City with power and influence, including ordinary people, had heard about the commotion Su Mo caused in the Tiandou Imperial Palace back then, and Dugu Xin was no exception.

Dugu Bo nodded slightly: "Your Highness helped me condense a soul core that I had never heard of before, completely eliminating the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom that had been entrenched in my body for many years."

Moreover, I must say, that soul core was truly a wonderful thing; it not only cured the poison in my body but also enhanced my strength.

"Soul Core?" Dugu Xin asked, his face full of doubt.

"Alright, Xin'er, now is not the time to talk about this. In order to obtain a way to resolve the backlash from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom, I have decided to have the Dugu family submit to the Spirit Hall. Therefore, we will now prepare to move to Spirit City."

“Okay,” Dugu Xin replied, without any questions.

He knew that the Spirit Hall wouldn't help the Dugu family for no reason, and that his father must have paid a price to get a solution.

"Then you should rest well first, I'll go arrange the moving now," Dugu Bo said.

Soon, under Dugu Bo's series of orders, the Dugu residence began to bustle with activity.

Some of Dugu Bo packed up his important belongings and put them into his soul tool. After the soul tool was full, the rest was loaded onto the carriage at the door.

Subsequently, Dugu Bo dismissed all the servants in his household, leaving only a few trusted confidants, such as the maid who had been taking care of Dugu Yan's daily life, and the head steward of the Dugu family, etc.

That very night, three carriages departed from the Dugu residence.

Before long, they left Tiandou City and slowly headed towards Wuhun City.

……

half a month later.

Dugu Bo, with his entire family, finally arrived at Wuhun City.

Because Bibi Dong had made prior arrangements, when they arrived at the city gate, someone led them to a pre-prepared mansion.

After Dugu Bo was completely settled, he prepared to take Dugu Xin to Su Mo's house.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Yan Yan wants to go too!" After learning that Dugu Bo was going to Su Mo's house, Dugu Yan also clamored to go.

Dugu Bo laughed and said, "Alright, Grandpa will take you there."

"That's great!" Dugu Yan exclaimed. "Yan Yan can finally see that beautiful older sister again."

Soon, the three of them boarded the carriage.

The carriage slowly headed south of the city.

Because Dugu Bo's new residence was some distance from Su Mo's home, the carriage took a long time to finally arrive at Su Mo's manor.

This time, because the guards at the gate recognized Dugu Bo, and because they had already received the news, they did not stop him.

Thus, Dugu Bo and his two companions entered the manor under the guidance of servants and headed towards the main hall.

Meanwhile, inside the main hall...

Su Mo seemed to have known about their arrival all along, as he was already sitting alone on the sofa in the main seat, leisurely sipping tea and waiting for them.

As for Gu Yuena and Xue Di, they took the little ones to Wuhun City for a visit early in the morning.

Before long, Dugu Bo and the other two entered the main hall.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects!" Dugu Bo said respectfully.

Dugu Xin followed closely behind.

Dugu Yan was somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, Dugu Bola pulled Dugu Yan aside and whispered, "Yan Yan, quickly greet His Highness."

"No need, she's still just a child, no need for such formalities," Su Mo said calmly, putting down his teacup.

"Yes, Your Highness," Dugu Bo nodded in response.

Su Mo looked at Dugu Xin: "This is Dugu Xin? The situation is indeed not optimistic. However, it's not entirely hopeless."

Dugu Bo hurriedly asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, how can my son be saved?"

"The first method is to directly abolish his martial spirit, turning him into an ordinary person, and then use medicine to cleanse the toxins from his body. As long as he stops cultivating in the future, he will naturally not be affected by the toxins."

"The second method is for you to find him a soul bone, force the toxins in his body into the soul bone, and then use medicine to clean up the remaining toxins in his body. This will extend his lifespan and allow him to continue cultivating. When he is strong enough, he can condense a poison soul core like you, thus completely getting rid of the toxins."

However, this method also has certain drawbacks, since the capacity of the soul bone is ultimately limited.

If the toxin were to suddenly flare up one day, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, this problem can be avoided if you have enough soul bones.

In fact, Su Mo naturally had other, better ways to completely solve Dugu Xin's problem.

However, Dugu Xin's talent is not high and his potential is limited, so he is not of much value to Su Mo.

In addition, Su Mo and Dugu Xin were not acquainted and had no relation to each other.

Therefore, Su Mo wouldn't waste too much time and energy on Dugu Xin.

He had already done more than enough to alleviate Dugu Xin's pain from the poison's backlash and allow him to live a few more days.

Chapter 263 The Method of Detoxification

"Soul Bone?!"

When Dugu Bo heard Su Mo's second method, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and slapped his forehead.

"Yes, why didn't I think of this method? It's like transferring the toxins in the body to another place for storage, so they won't harm oneself."

But then, Dugu Bo frowned again.

He knew that soul bones were not something that could be obtained easily. Even thousand-year-old soul bones were extremely precious on the continent, and very few people were willing to sell them. Even as a Soul Douluo, he did not have a single soul bone to this day.

Moreover, according to Su Mo, soul bones have a storage limit, so the longer the storage period, the better. Otherwise, if the stored toxins were to fill up one day, his son Dugu Xin would be in danger.

"Well? Have you decided which method to choose?" Su Mo asked calmly, looking at Dugu Bo who was frowning in thought.

Dugu Bo quickly came to his senses and looked at Dugu Xin: "Xin'er, you should decide this matter yourself. No matter which method you choose, I will fully support you."

Dugu Xin thought for a moment, then looked at Su Mo with a firm expression: "Your Highness, I have decided to choose the second option."

Although Dugu Xin knew that the second method was dangerous, he did not want to go from being a Soul Master to a complete cripple. He could not accept such a huge drop in status.

Besides, so what if it's dangerous?

As long as I can spend more time with my daughter, Dugu Yan, it will all be worth it.

"Alright." Su Mo nodded. "I will send someone to deliver the medicine to cleanse your bodies of toxins. As for the soul bones, you'll have to figure that out yourselves."

"Of course, if you can make enough contributions to the Spirit Hall, obtaining a spirit bone won't be a big problem."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin quickly clasped their hands in thanks, their eyes filled with gratitude.

At this moment, Dugu Bo made up his mind that even if he had to give up all his wealth, he would find a soul bone for Dugu Xin. If he couldn't find one, he would try his luck in the Soul Beast Forest. No matter what, he had to save his son.

Just then, several figures walked in through the entrance of the hall.

It was Xue Di, Gu Yuena, and the four little ones: Su Junlin, Su Chuan, Su Lingling, and Su Lingxi.

"Dad, Daddy!"

The moment Su Lingling and Su Lingxi saw Su Mo, they immediately ran over, wanting Su Mo to hold them.

With a look of doting affection, Su Mo gently picked up the two little ones and asked, "Lingling, Lingxi, did you have fun today?"

Su Lingxi nodded repeatedly: "Of course I'm happy, it's just a pity that Dad isn't here. It would be even better if Dad were here with me."

“Yes, Lingxi is right. Dad, can you come with us to play next time?” Su Lingling looked at Su Mo with expectant eyes.

Su Mo nodded: "Of course, no problem. Dad promises you, I'll definitely accompany you next time."

"Yay! That's great! Daddy is the best!" Su Lingling and Su Lingxi cheered and then each kissed Su Mo on one cheek.

Su Mo felt the warmth on his face, his heart softened, and he smiled.

"Alright, Dad has some things to take care of right now. You guys play by yourselves for a while, and Dad will come and play with you later, okay?"

“Okay, Dad.” Su Lingling and Su Lingxi nodded obediently.

Then, they jumped out of Su Mo's arms and grabbed Su Junlin and Su Chuan, who were standing to the side, and ran into the courtyard.

Just then, Su Lingling suddenly noticed Dugu Yan behind Dugu Bo.

For some reason, Su Lingling felt a strange sense of familiarity with Dugu Yan in front of her.

She quickly went to Dugu Yan's side, took Dugu Yan's little hand, and asked curiously, "Little sister, what's your name?"

Dugu Yan was a little nervous and subconsciously moved closer to Dugu Bo, then whispered, "My name is Dugu Yan."

“Dugu Yan?” Su Lingling repeated, then smiled and said, “My name is Su Lingling. You look a little younger than me, so I’ll call you Sister Yan. Come on, let’s go out and play now.”

"Huh...?" Dugu Yan was a little confused. She looked up at Dugu Bo beside her.

Dugu Bo was at a loss for what to do. After all, the young girl in front of him was Su Mo's daughter, a woman of noble status, while he was just Su Mo's subordinate. The difference in status between his granddaughter and Su Lingling was enormous.

Therefore, Dugu Bo could only look to Su Mo and ask for his opinion: "Your Highness, what do you think of this?"

Su Mo smiled slightly: "It's alright. Since Lingling wants to play with her, let her go with her."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Dugu Bo turned to Dugu Yan. "Yan Yan, go and play with the little prince."

"Okay, Grandpa." Dugu Yan nodded obediently.

Immediately, Su Lingling pulled Dugu Yan and Su Lingxi and ran towards the courtyard.

Su Junlin and Su Chuan followed closely behind.

As Dugu Bo watched the little ones walk away, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
