Yu Yuanzhen Under House Arrest
"Xue Qinghe, I never expected you to have colluded with the Spirit Hall. You truly have the ambition of a wolf!" Yu Yuanzhen glanced at Qian Renxue and said coldly.
Qian Renxue smiled and shook her head, saying, "Clan Leader Yu, you don't need to be so harsh. You are a distinguished guest of my Heaven Dou City, and we will treat you well after Qinghe."
"Hmph!" Yu Yuanzhen coldly, and was then taken to the Guest Courtyard by Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo. Two Imperial Guards stood guard outside the Courtyard Gate, staying almost every step of the way.
Yu Tianzhen sat in his room, trying to release his Soul Power to sense the outside world. He discovered that the entire Guest Courtyard was completely sealed off by the auras of several Titled Douluos, who were watching him almost constantly.
Yu Tianzhen spent the whole night thinking about how to escape, but all his ideas vanished because they were impractical.
The next morning, footsteps could be heard Courtyard Gate.
Yu Yuanzhen looked up and saw Qian Renxue push open the door and walk in, followed by Lin Chen, Dugu Bo, and seven others: Qian Jun Douluo, Demon Subduing Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo.
Qian Renxue carried a pot of tea, walked to the stone table in the courtyard, put down the teapot, placed seven teacups, filled them, and smiled at Yu Yuanzhen, saying, "Clan Leader Yu, please have some tea."
"I don't like tea," Yu Yuanzhen said coldly, turning his head away.
Qian Jun Douluo stepped forward, pulled out a stone bench, sat down, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said casually, "Clan Leader Yu, standing is tiring, come and sit down."
Yu Yuanzhen still didn't move.
The Demon Subduing Douluo also sat down, picked up his teacup, smelled it, and said with a smile, "Excellent tea! This is tea brewed by the Crown Prince himself; you can't usually drink it like this."
Yu Yuanzhen's face was cold as he glanced at the stone table and then at the positions of the six Titled Douluos in the courtyard. They seemed to be sitting and standing casually, but in reality, they had blocked all escape routes in the courtyard.
"What exactly do you want?" Yu Yuanzhen asked in a deep voice.
Qian Renxue picked up her teacup, took a sip, and looked up at him. "Clan Leader Yu, I respect you as a senior. This cup of tea is to welcome you. Please drink, and we can talk slowly."
She paused for a moment, then said calmly, "If you don't drink it, then there's nothing more to talk about. We'll have no choice but to reluctantly take action against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
At this moment, Qian Jun Douluo put down his teacup, leaned back in his chair, and said unhurriedly, "Clan Leader Yu, it's just a cup of tea. If you drink it, at least there's still room for discussion."
The Demon Subduing Douluo chimed in, "Indeed, if you won't even drink a cup of tea, then we can only interpret it as a provocation."
"Alright... I'll drink!" Yu Yuanzhen remained silent for a few moments, but finally walked to the stone table, sat down, picked up the teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.
Qian Renxue watched him finish his drink, a slight smile curving her lips. She stood up, her face beaming, and said, "Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Clan Leader Yu. Now, let's discuss this..."
An hour later, Qian Renxue smiled and cupped her hands in greeting to Yu Yuanzhen. She then turned and led Lin Chen toward the Courtyard Gate. Dugu Bo and the five Titled Douluo also got up and followed her out of the courtyard.
Yu Yuanzhen watched the departing figures of the crowd, then sat on the stone bench, staring at the empty teacup on the table, his face heavy with worry.
After leaving the Guest Courtyard, Lin Chen leaned close to Qian Renxue and whispered, "Sister Xue, is there something wrong with that tea?"
Qian Renxue nodded and said softly, "I put poison in it. Mix it into the tea and drink it; it will suppress the circulation of Soul Power."
After drinking for two or three days, Yu Yuanzhen will probably only be able to exert the strength of Rank 93. At that time, he will be able to...
Three days later, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
In the Meeting Hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the First Elder sat in the main seat, his face even more grim than a few days ago.
Yu Yuanzhen has been missing for three days, and the Scout he sent out have not returned. The people in the clan are filled with anxiety and unease.
The Second Elder, his face grim, slammed his fist on the table as the Scouts failed to return, exclaiming, "What are we going to do? The clan leader hasn't come yet; something must have happened to him!"
The First Elder sighed and said in a deep voice, "What else can we do? All we can do now is wait for the clan leader to return. What else can we do but go to Heaven Dou City to die?"
The Third Elder spoke up, asking, "So what should we do now?"
The First Elder remained silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "The entire clan shall be on high alert, ready for battle at any moment. All clansmen who have gone out on patrols shall be recalled and await the clan leader's return!"
Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.
Qian Renxue sat in her study, a map of the Heaven Dou Empire in front of her.
The six Titled Douluo sat on either side, with Lin Chen standing beside her, while Dugu Bo leaned against the door frame drinking.
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon has started its defense," Qian Renxue said, tapping the map with her finger. "But that's not important."
At this point, Qian Renxue smiled and looked up at everyone, saying, "Your defenses against Yu Yuanzhen must have left a gap, right?"
Qian Jun Douluo nodded and said, "Of course, due to our deliberate arrangements, Dugu Bo's defense was relatively weak, and Yu Yuanzhen obviously noticed this as well."
Qian Renxue smiled and nodded, saying, "Now that the medicine is taking effect, it's time to prepare to eliminate Yu Yuanzhen."
The Demon Subduing Douluo nodded and said, "I've wanted to kill him for a long time. Xue'er, what do you plan to do?"
Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Making a move in Heaven Dou City would result in too many losses. Let Yu Yuanzhen escape from Heaven Dou City first, and you'll naturally understand what to do next."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Renxue looked at Lin Chen and said with a smile, "The task of seducing Yu Tianzhen to leave Heaven Dou City is now entrusted to you and Mr. Dugu."
Lin Chen was taken aback for a moment and said, "Is there something else I need to do?"
"Of course," Qian Renxue nodded, "Otherwise, why would I have you patrolling there at night these past few days?"
"I've already spread the word that Yu Tianheng is going to be executed. Yu Yuanzhen certainly won't sit idly by and wait for his death. Then you can patrol near the Guest Courtyard, and Mr. Dugu will deliberately give Yu Yuanzhen an opportunity."
"With his strength, even if he's suppressed to Rank 93, he could easily escape right under your noses."
Lin Chen thought for a moment and understood what she meant, "Okay, I understand."
Dugu Bo took a swig of wine and interjected, "You better not mess up your act, kid. If Yu Yuanzhen happens to kill you, I won't be able to save you in time."
Lin Chen turned and glanced at him. "Don't worry, Senior Dugu, he wouldn't bear to kill me. Besides, you're right next to me."
Qian Renxue stood up, put away the map, and said, "Then it's settled. Tomorrow night, release Yu Yuanzhen from Heaven Dou City."
She walked to the window, looked in the direction of the distant Imperial Palace, and said calmly, "The day Yu Yuanzhen dies will be the day the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is destroyed."
