Grudges with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan

"Since you want to know, I won't keep you in suspense. Everyone, take a look at the people beside me. Do any of you recognize them?"

Seeing everyone nod, Dugu Bo stopped dragging things out and pushed Dugu Xin forward directly.

The people beside Dugu Bo?

Only then did everyone present realize that two people had been following Dugu Bo all along, a man and a woman, one old and one young.

As for the girl, everyone naturally recognized her: Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's only granddaughter, a student of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and captain of the Royal Fight Team. Before coming here, every major Faction had already gathered her information.

But as for the middle-aged man, everyone was full of question marks. Why would Dugu Bo think people like them would recognize him?

Looking at the middle-aged man before them, he had one mouth and two eyes, one nose and two ears. Aside from those greenish eyes and hair that somewhat resembled Dugu Bo's former appearance, there was nothing unusual about him...

Wait, greenish? Somewhat resembled the former Dugu Bo?

Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at the middle-aged man as if he had thought of something. His right hand trembled as he pointed at him, utterly shocked. "You, you're Xin'er? Weren't you already dead?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo had of course met Dugu Xin. Back then, his relationship with Dugu Bo had actually been quite good.

In order to cure the Martial Soul Poison, Dugu Bo had roamed all over Douluo Continent, even venturing into some dangerous places to explore.

During that process, Dugu Bo had become acquainted with Chrysanthemum Douluo. The two hit it off immediately and became very close friends, and Dugu Bo often brought Dugu Xin along to seek out Chrysanthemum Douluo and talk about everything under the sun.

Later, after Dugu Xin died, Dugu Bo's temperament changed drastically. After a series of events, the two of them ended up in this relationship where they never wished to have dealings with each other again.

Ning Fengzhi was carefully observing Dugu Xin. Hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's words, he suddenly realized that the man before him was precisely the Dugu Xin mentioned in the records, the Dugu Xin who had already died.

What was going on?

Hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's words, everyone was completely dumbfounded. Why would a dead person appear here again?

"Uncle Yue Guan, it's been a long time." Dugu Xin looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo before him, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

Dugu Xin's words were undoubtedly an admission that he was that already-dead Dugu Xin.

"Old poison, what exactly is going on? Wasn't Xin'er already dead?" Hearing Dugu Xin's words, Chrysanthemum Douluo asked Dugu Bo in disbelief.

"Chrysanthemum Guan, watch your tone. Xin'er was indeed already dead, but the one appearing here now is also truly the Xin'er of the past. There's no doubt about that."

Dugu Bo first snapped back at Chrysanthemum Douluo, then explained to him.

After all, when Dugu Xin had still been alive, Dugu Bo and Yue Guan had still had a very good relationship, and there had also been deep feelings between Dugu Xin and Yue Guan. It was only natural for Yue Guan to care about Dugu Xin.

"Poison Douluo, do you mean that your son, Dugu Xin, has already been resurrected?"

Xue Qinghe, who had been listening from the side, finally sorted out his thoughts and asked Dugu Bo in a tone full of disbelief.

It was no wonder Xue Qinghe spoke like that. What was happening now was simply too unbelievable. How could the dead possibly come back to life?

"That's right. This is the secret of the pillar of light you were looking for." Dugu Bo no longer kept them in suspense and directly acknowledged Xue Qinghe's statement. "The Resurrection Item, Resurrection Coin, is the reason Xin'er was resurrected, and also the root cause of that pillar of light."

Hiss—

Hearing that Dugu Bo had truly admitted Dugu Xin's resurrection and had even brought out something like a Resurrection Item, everyone sucked in a cold breath.

Resurrection actually really existed.

"Poison Douluo, may I ask how you obtained this Resurrection Item?" Xue Qinghe asked Dugu Bo, his expression unreadable.

Hearing Xue Qinghe's question, the others who had originally intended to question Dugu Bo also closed their mouths.

In an instant, the entire reception hall suddenly fell utterly silent. The whole hall became so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

"Relax. Since I've said it, that means I don't intend to hide this matter. I'll definitely tell you."

Dugu Bo looked at those people who kept their faces unchanged while pricking up their ears and pretending to be reserved. He rolled his eyes and spoke.

"The source of the Resurrection Item wasn't me, but a friend of mine despite our age difference, Wu Tong."

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, everyone was stunned. Were they familiar with Wu Tong?

Of course they were familiar. Right now, on Douluo Continent, you could fail to know who the Pope was, but you absolutely could not fail to know who Wu Tong was.

The continent's First Sage, Master of martial soul research, Medicine Saint... One title after another had been plucked up by Wu Tong and placed upon his head. He was at the height of his power, and almost everyone on the continent had directly or indirectly received his Falna.

Because of this, Wu Tong was respectfully addressed as Mister by most people across the entire continent. Relying on this vast network of connections, Wu Tong had also become one of the people on the continent who absolutely could not be offended.

"How could the source of the Resurrection Item be Wu Tong? How could that little brat possibly take out such a treasure? Old poison, if you don't want to say it, there's no need to make up such unrealistic nonsense, is there?"

Hearing this voice, everyone turned back and saw that it was Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Not only did they fail to agree with what he said, their faces instead filled with pity.

Back before Wu Tong had made a name for himself, the various major Factions had all coveted his potential and had once competed over where Wu Tong would belong, but that had only been courting him. They had not tried to kill him.

Except the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The reason was that Yu Xiaogang had been jealous of Wu Tong, jealous that he could accomplish so much at such a young age, and that jealousy had even turned into hatred. He secretly wrote a letter, wanting his father, Yu Yuanzhen, to take action and erase Wu Tong.

Although Yu Yuanzhen hated that his useless son Yu Xiaogang had failed to live up to expectations, deep in his heart, he also felt profound guilt and love for his only son. Therefore, he agreed to Yu Xiaogang's request.

In Yu Yuanzhen's view, Wu Tong was merely a useless Spirit Master without combat power, a commoner who wanted to get ahead through so-called martial soul research. Erasing Wu Tong would not be a problem at all.

So after Yu Yuanzhen found Wu Tong, he attacked Wu Tong directly in the street. At that time, if Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo had not intervened, perhaps Wu Tong would already have died back then, and there would no longer be today's Mister Wu Tong, whose prestige and reputation stood unmatched under heaven.

It was also because of that assassination attempt that Wu Tong and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan formed an irreconcilable blood feud.

In the time that followed, Wu Tong often used his reputation, money, and some secret information not released to the public to issue bounties.

The endless stream of bounty assassinations caused the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to suffer disastrous losses. This also made the later Yu Yuanzhen often regret it deeply.

Although outsiders did not understand why Mister Wu Tong's hostility toward the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was so great, among the major Factions, this old story was no secret. Everyone also often used this matter to mock Yu Yuanzhen.

Now Dugu Xin's existence had already proven that the Resurrection Item was definitely real. If the Resurrection Item had truly been created by Wu Tong, then the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan definitely had no share in it.

Thinking of this, everyone exchanged glances, their eyes filled with excitement at one fewer Faction being there to divide the cake.

They could even... perhaps use people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to exchange for a Resurrection Item.

Thinking of this, some people looked at Yu Yuanzhen with eyes filled with greed.
