Douluo: Fiery Chains of the Soul, Sealing All Gods — Section 46

As for the news he had released, Su Han knew full well that Spirit Hall would search the entire continent for clues and might even draw him into the matter.

Therefore, he urgently needed high-level combat power to strengthen himself and make other factions wary.

However, Su Han also had his concerns.

He was not afraid of falling into danger himself, but he could not stop worrying about the safety of Huo Wu's family, Brother Tao's family, Hao Te, Zhao Gang, Li Jie, and the others.

A Soul Master with genuine life-saving abilities was of vital importance to him.

Thinking this, Su Han said, "Senior Dugu, why don't we go find Senior Gan Lin first?

"Once we recruit him and help him break through to Titled Douluo and obtain his Soul Ring, recruiting Senior Po Jun afterward will be much easier."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded approvingly. "Not bad. That way, the sect will have three Titled Douluo. When do we leave?"

After some thought, Su Han said, "Let's set off tomorrow.

"I need to have a proper talk with that girl Huo Wu, or she'll get angry again."

Dugu Bo burst into laughter. "It's good to be young. This old man won't disturb you two lovebirds."

With that, he turned and left, his laughter echoing through the night sky.

Watching Dugu Bo's departing figure, Su Han revealed a helpless smile.

He knew that although it was safe here, Huo Wu would surely find it boring being alone.

Thus, he silently decided to send Huo Wu to Sister Sisi's place, where she would at least have some company.

Huo Wu had naturally heard every word of Su Han's conversation with Dugu Bo, and she quietly considered how to persuade her father to join Su Han's faction.

The moment Su Han entered the room, Huo Wu's gaze locked onto him. She softly asked, "Brother Han, are you really going to start building your own faction?"

Su Han smiled and said boldly, "How can a true man, born between heaven and earth, remain beneath others forever?

"Once we seize a territory of our own, we'll decide our own path in the future."

Huo Wu's face was filled with admiration. "I knew it, Brother Han. You're the best. It's just that convincing my father probably won't be easy."

Su Han patted her shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry. I'll handle your father.

"Little girl, do you want to go stay with Sister Sisi first? It'll inevitably be boring staying here alone."

Huo Wu firmly shook her head. "No, Brother Han. I'll wait for you here."

Su Han embraced Huo Wu tenderly. "All right. I'll come back as soon as I can. You have to wait for me."

Early the next morning, Su Han donned a black robe and set out with Dugu Bo for the Star Luo Empire.

When they passed through the Balak Kingdom, Dugu Bo could not help but feel shocked.

Seeing this, Su Han smiled. "Don't be surprised. Everyone here came for the immortal herbs."

Dugu Bo teased, "Don't tell me you were the one who spread the news, kid? That's why so many Soul Masters have appeared in the Balak Kingdom."

Su Han chuckled. "How could anyone obtain immortal herbs without paying some price?

"Whether they can find them or not depends on their luck."

The two stayed in the Balak Kingdom for one night, preparing to continue their journey the next day.

As night fell, Su Han and Dugu Bo sat in a tavern, enjoying delicious food and drinking fine wine.

Suddenly, several familiar figures entered their sight.

Su Han sneered inwardly. That little rabbit really doesn't know his place. But he has a pact with those two Soul Beasts. Even if I don't capture him, he'll eventually come out and seek death himself.

After another month of continuous travel, Su Han and Dugu Bo finally arrived at Yun Luo City in the Star Luo Empire.

The two strolled through the city, and Su Han teased, "Senior Dugu, has it been a long time since you traveled the continent?"

Dugu Bo said wistfully, "Yes. This old man's life has been full of hardships. I spent my life alongside poison, only to be harmed by it in the end.

"The last time I traveled the continent was many years ago."

Su Han nodded, naturally understanding Dugu Bo's unspoken meaning.

He consoled him, "Senior Dugu, we should look ahead!

"At least your granddaughter can grow up happily. Perhaps one day, the Dugu family will even produce two Douluo in a single generation."

Dugu Bo laughed happily upon hearing this. "Now that you mention it, that really is possible. If Yanyan can become a Titled Douluo in the future, I'll die without regrets."

Su Han said, "What are you saying? That precious herb is still growing and will mature in five years at most.

"By then, your granddaughter's talent will surpass yours. As her grandfather, shouldn't you at least get her a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?"

Dugu Bo's eyes gleamed. "By then, with this old man's strength, hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast should be no difficult task."

Su Han smiled. "When it comes time for my eighth Soul Ring, I'll be hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast too."

Dugu Bo nodded. "In this world, I'm afraid you're the only one who can absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as your eighth Soul Ring."

Su Han said, "When the time comes, I'll have to trouble Senior Dugu to lend me a hand."

Dugu Bo waved his hand. "It's a small matter. As the First Elder, it's simply my duty."

When Su Han and Dugu Bo arrived at a simple, clean little courtyard, an elderly man with gray hair and beard and an aged face walked out.

He appeared to be over seventy years old. Looking somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Who are the two of you? What business do you have at this old man's courtyard?"

Dugu Bo spoke. "Gan Lin, it's been many years."

After carefully examining Dugu Bo, Gan Lin said in surprise, "What brings Poison Douluo to this old man's place?"

Dugu Bo said, "Naturally, I'm here to deliver an opportunity to you. Did you think I came merely to reminisce?"

Gan Lin was somewhat shocked. What opportunity could Dugu Bo possibly bring him?

He said, "You are naturally welcome to reminisce, but what exactly is this opportunity?"

Dugu Bo smiled. "This is the sect master of our sect, and he is your opportunity."

Gan Lin looked at Su Han. Seeing how young he was, he asked in disbelief, "Your Excellency Poison Douluo, are you making sport of this old man?

"This kid is so young. No matter how I look at him, he doesn't seem like the master of a sect."

Su Han said calmly, "Whether I look the part is unimportant. What matters is that I can help you break through to Titled Douluo and gift you a Soul Bone.

"You only need to swear a poison oath to serve me loyally."

Gan Lin looked at Su Han and Dugu Bo in disbelief. Especially upon hearing of an opportunity to break through to Titled Douluo and a Soul Bone, his heart filled with longing.

He had been stuck at the Soul Douluo realm for ten years. Without an opportunity, he was destined to slowly grow old.

Dugu Bo said, "Gan Lin, you and I have known each other for many years. Let me advise you: this will be the most correct decision of your life.

"This old man is now a level ninety-five Titled Douluo."

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Gan Lin took a deep breath. He did not think Dugu Bo was making sport of him.

Others might have done so, but he understood Dugu Bo well enough to know that he would never do such a thing.

If you like it, please vote. Thank you, everyone.

He turned his gaze toward Su Han and asked, "May I ask which faction you belong to?

"After this old man joins you, what will I need to do?"

Su Han smiled. "The sect has not been formally established yet. Including you, there would only be four people in total.

"If Senior is willing to join, the position of Second Elder will be yours."

Gan Lin's eyes widened. "Four people? And you call that a sect?"

Su Han shrugged helplessly. "Although there are few people at present, I'll continue recruiting.

"The sect will definitely be established within three years."

Gan Lin nodded. "Then what rules does the sect have?

"This old man is used to freedom and may not be able to endure the sect's restrictions."

Su Han said, "Rest assured, I won't make you handle complicated affairs.

"You only need to cultivate in peace and follow my arrangements."

Gan Lin nodded. "All right. This old man agrees to join your faction.

"How do you plan to help me break through to Titled Douluo?"

Su Han smiled as he took out a seven-thousand-year-old Blood Dragon Ginseng from his Storage Soul Tool and gently placed it on the table.

He said, "This Blood Dragon Ginseng will be more than enough to help you break through."

Although Gan Lin did not recognize the Blood Dragon Ginseng, he could sense the astonishing life force contained within it.

Then, Su Han took out a forty-thousand-year Soul Bone and placed it on the table as well.

Looking at these two priceless treasures, Gan Lin could not help swallowing.
