Dugu Bo Swore Allegiance to Spirit Hall, Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone Given to Qian Renxue!

A chill shot up Dugu Bo's spine.

"You...!"

Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically as he instinctively took half a step back.

The dark green poisonous mist around him instantly grew dense and viscous, like a boiling toxic swamp that shrouded his body.

All nine soul rings blazed brightly, filled with vigilance!

"What do you mean by that, Your Holiness?"

"My meaning is simple."

Ye Xian stepped forward, and an extreme chill erupted from him with a thunderous roar.

Buzz—!

Frost King Sword Domain—open!

In an instant, the temperature throughout the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well valley plummeted.

The viscous poisonous mist Dugu Bo had unleashed sizzled the moment it touched the edge of the domain.

Like snow doused with boiling soup, it froze and shattered at a visible speed.

He felt that his pride and joy, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's Poison, was utterly fragile before this extreme chill.

Dugu Bo looked behind Ye Xian.

Holy Light flowed around the Saintess Qian Renxue. Though her Angel Domain was not fully unleashed, its pure, sacred aura still naturally restrained poison-attribute soul masters like him.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan wore a cruel smile, the phantom of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum flickering behind him.

Yang Wudi, holding a pitch-black spear, had eyes as sharp as blades. The tip of his Soul Breaking Spear pointed straight at Dugu Bo, radiating a piercing sharpness that seemed capable of penetrating anything.

Despair!

An unprecedented sense of despair instantly engulfed Dugu Bo!

Resist?

Before Ye Xian's domain that froze all things, with four powerful opponents eyeing him like tigers, he did not stand the slightest chance.

"Pledge allegiance to my Spirit Hall and hand this place over to me."

"Not only will you remain unharmed, but I can also completely remove the serpent poison from your body."

The instant those words were spoken, Dugu Bo froze.

He had originally thought Ye Xian intended to kill him.

After all, Ye Xian's extermination of the Clear Sky Sect was an undeniable fact.

Yet Ye Xian had just said that he would remove the serpent poison from his body!

For a moment, Dugu Bo wondered if he had heard wrong.

This old body of his did not have many years left to live anyway.

But his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had always been the knot in his heart that he could not let go of.

Thud!

A dull sound rang out.

Under everyone's gaze, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo—

This proud, temperamental Titled Douluo whom countless people feared—

went weak at the knees and heavily dropped to the hard ground beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, frozen solid by Ye Xian's domain.

He lowered his head, his disheveled white hair concealing his expression.

"Dugu Bo was blind and offended heavenly might!"

"I... I beg Your Holiness the Pope to remove the serpent poison from my granddaughter as well."

"This old man is willing to lead the Jade Phosphor Clan in pledging eternal allegiance to Spirit Hall!"

"For Your Holiness... for Spirit Hall... we shall brave fire and water, even die ten thousand deaths without regret!"

He paused, as though making up his mind. Then he abruptly raised his head, a trace of determination flashing through his eyes as he added:

"This old man... is willing to offer Your Holiness every secret I know of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family!"

"I only ask... only ask Your Holiness... to save my granddaughter's life!"

Dugu Bo seemed to have seized a lifeline.

"Xue Ye died two days ago. To prevent unrest, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family has kept his death secret. At this very moment, the Fourth Prince Xue Beng has secretly ascended the throne. I presume Your Holiness does not yet know?"

He immediately told Ye Xian the most important information he currently knew.

The latter's eyes flickered.

Xue Ye was already dead?

Dugu Bo had shown his loyalty rather quickly.

Beside him, Qian Renxue's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She had not expected Xue Beng to be the one who ascended the throne.

Xue Ye really was too frail. I only gave him a little poison, and he was already done for.

Ye Xian's gaze calmly swept over the kneeling Dugu Bo. There was not the slightest ripple in his eyes before he gently nodded.

"Of course."

"However, to let me see your loyalty, you must continue to lie low in Heaven Dou City."

"Pay particular attention to the whereabouts of the father and son, Tang Hao and Tang San."

"When the time comes, I will naturally remove the serpent poison from both you and your granddaughter."

Ye Xian raised his hand and waved. A stream of crystalline blue Soul Power instantly flowed into Dugu Bo's body.

The frenzied serpent poison was instantly suppressed by Ultimate Ice.

"Your serpent poison can be suppressed for at least half a year. During those six months, you will not suffer its backlash."

"Furthermore, if you can assist me in capturing Tang San and Tang Hao—"

"Then the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone and one million Gold Soul Coins on the wanted notice will also be yours."

Dugu Bo's body trembled with excitement.

He immediately bowed deeply before Ye Xian.

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope!"

"Dugu Bo will certainly do his utmost to provide Spirit Hall with useful intelligence!"

Ye Xian nodded lightly before turning his gaze toward Qian Renxue beside him.

Sensing Ye Xian's gaze, Qian Renxue slightly turned her head. Tenderness filled her deep violet eyes.

Ye Xian said nothing. He merely shifted his steps and silently glided toward the depths of the Herb Garden as though skating across ice.

His gaze precisely settled on two Immortal Herbs.

One was rooted in a frozen crimson rock crevice at the edge of the scorching Yang Spring.

It resembled a peony, yet was more gorgeous than any peony in the world.

Its entire body was a breathtaking deep crimson, as though condensed from the purest heart's blood.

Its petals were layered and lush, while a spot of gold at its core resembled a beating heart.

The entire flower radiated a sorrowful aura of unwavering love and devotion unto death, as though it bore the world's deepest affection and grief.

It was the king of immortal-grade herbs—Lovesick Heartbreak Red!

The other grew upon a patch of dark jade-colored soil covered in Ice Crystal beside the freezing Yin Spring.

It resembled a narcissus, but its entire body was crystal-clear, as though carved from the finest white jade, radiating a soft and pure moon-white glow.

Its leaves were slender, their veins clearly visible like condensed ice crystals.

The entire flower exuded a sacred aura of cold elegance, purity, and the cleansing of filth.

It was the sacred herb capable of purifying one's constitution and raising the purity of Soul Power—Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone!

Ye Xian extended his hand. A subtle, precise extreme chill curled around his fingertips, like the touch of the most skillful ice sculptor.

He did not touch the plants themselves. Instead, he used icy Soul Power to precisely freeze the connection between the herbs' roots and the soil.

At the same time, he cut off any possible backlash from the immense energy contained within the Immortal Herbs.

His movements flowed as smoothly as clouds and water, carrying the calm composure of someone in complete control.

With a gentle pull, the two Immortal Herbs, each radiating vastly different yet equally majestic life energy—

rose as though supported by invisible hands and slowly floated toward Qian Renxue.

"Consume them."

Ye Xian grinned, gazing tenderly at Qian Renxue.

These two Immortal Herbs could greatly enhance Qian Renxue's strength.

Qian Renxue looked at the two Immortal Herbs floating before her and sensed the vast, pure life energy contained within them.

In particular, the aura of profound affection emitted by Lovesick Heartbreak Red caused a ripple to pass through her deep violet eyes.

She gently bit her red lips, gave Ye Xian an affectionate glance, then obediently nodded.
