All Parties Mobilize

"This matter has nothing to do with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."

Yu Luomian said, spreading his hands.

If it were a kidnapping, he would have acted long ago.

Although Qin Ming's Martial Soul was powerful, it was still a far cry from the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon, the continent's number one beast Martial Soul.

Moreover, the other party was just a mere Soul Emperor.

"Second Master, what is the reason you invited Yu Cheng to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"

Qin Ming asked.

He admired Yu Luomian's strength after their battle and learned a lot of experience.

But this did not prevent him from suspecting Yu Luomian.

He even thought that Yu Luomian used the commotion of their spar to attract the attention of the three Committee Members, and then sent someone else to kidnap Yu Cheng.

"Yu Cheng's pills have good effects. Elder Li has praised him highly and hopes to invite Yu Cheng to exchange alchemy experience."

Yu Luomian said directly.

"Alchemy?"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Ning Fengzhi knew a little about Elder Li of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. This person was responsible for the sect disciples' medicinal baths and medicinal cuisine, and was a master alchemist.

He actually praised Yu Cheng's pills?

He didn't expect Yu Cheng to be proficient in alchemy in addition to his research on Martial Soul theory?

Ning Fengzhi arranged for Ning Rongrong to attend school precisely because he wanted her to interact with more young geniuses. And among all the students at the Royal Academy, who was more outstanding than Yu Cheng?

The most crucial point was that he was also a Support System Soul Master!

A barely perceptible smile curved Ning Fengzhi's lips.

This person is destined to be connected with my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

"Creak~"

The conference room door was pushed open.

An old man strode into the room.

He wore a white robe, his beard and hair all white. His eyes were indifferent, exuding a sharpness like a drawn sword.

He was an elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

"Uncle Jian, any clues?"

Ning Fengzhi stood up and asked with concern.

The others, including Yu Luomian, also stood up at the same time, showing respect to Chen Xin.

This Level 95 super expert was so powerful that everyone else in the room combined couldn't even match him with one hand.

"Fengzhi, look at this."

Chen Xin opened his hand, and several withered weeds were lifted by his Soul Power.

"Isn't this just ordinary Blue Silver Grass?"

Yu Luomian spoke.

Chen Xin glanced at him but didn't reply.

Meng Shenji frowned and said, "These Blue Silver Grasses seem to have been infected by a vicious poison, losing their vitality."

He looked for a while and suddenly realized, "Your Excellency means that Yu Cheng's disappearance is related to the owner of this poison?"

"That's right. As far as I know, in the entire Heaven Dou City, there is only one person who possesses such a vicious poison."

Chen Xin nodded, his voice cold.

Upon hearing this, Meng Shenji and the others' eyes lit up.

Yu Luomian didn't understand, but he looked around and then nodded to himself.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person Your Excellency is referring to should be the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo."

Qin Ming spoke.

As Dugu Yan's teacher, Qin Ming had met Dugu Bo a few times.

This person was full of vicious poison, and even without releasing his Martial Soul, a terrifying fishy smell emanated from his body.

"That's right, it must be Old Poison!"

Yu Luomian slapped the table and said with certainty.

"I'll go find him right now!"

A sense of indignation rose in Yu Luomian's heart.

He had originally come to invite Yu Cheng, and had even fought Qin Ming for it. He hadn't expected Yu Cheng to be kidnapped by Dugu Bo, which led to him being wrongly accused.

"Second Master, wait a moment."

Qin Ming stepped forward and quickly stopped him.

"Since Senior Dugu took Yu Cheng away, I'll go find Yan Yan to understand the situation first, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

Neither Yu Luomian nor Dugu Bo were people the academy could afford to offend.

What if Dugu Bo was just chatting with Yu Cheng? If they went to demand an explanation, wouldn't that be an insult to him?

"In that case, this matter will be left to Teacher Qin."

Yu Luomian said.

He had a busy day, first being scolded by his daughter, then sparring with Qin Ming.

Now that he was sure Yu Cheng was fine, Yu Luomian couldn't be bothered to manage much else. When Yu Cheng returned to the academy, he would send someone to summon him to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

"That would be good."

Ning Fengzhi nodded.

"Dugu Bo has a residence in Sunset Forest, and he might not be in the city right now. Let's split into two groups. Teacher Qin will go find Dugu Yan, and Uncle Jian will head to Sunset Forest."

"Mm." Chen Xin nodded.

He had known Ning Fengzhi for decades and instantly guessed his intentions.

Ever since Ning Rongrong absorbed her second thousand-year spirit ring, Ning Fengzhi had wanted to meet Yu Cheng.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was always looking for talented individuals. If they could recruit Yu Cheng during this opportunity, it would definitely be a profitable deal with no losses.

Crown Prince's Mansion, study.

Xue Qinghe sat in the main seat, silent.

On the desk lay a document, which was Yu Cheng's Hundred Grass Pill recipe.

Sun Buyu stood opposite the desk, head bowed, hands clasped tightly by his sides, occasionally stealing glances at Xue Qinghe.

"Why wasn't the fact that Yu Cheng can refine medicine reported in a timely manner?"

Xue Qinghe's voice was calm, giving no hint of his emotions.

Yu Cheng was someone he had personally recruited to the Royal Academy. To avoid disturbing his cultivation, Xue Qinghe had never bothered him too much.

Although Yu Cheng's wisdom was important, his cultivation was only at the first ring, which was ultimately too low.

However...

Xue Qinghe hadn't expected that Yu Cheng also had research in alchemy.

Alchemy was different from theoretical research; it required long-term experimentation. All those famous alchemy masters were invariably old men with white hair.

Xue Qinghe had never heard of the Hundred Grass Pill before.

Perhaps Yu Cheng had discovered it from ancient texts, or maybe he had figured it out himself.

But regardless of which situation it was, being able to develop a new pill was enough to be called a master of a generation.

Most importantly, he was only eleven years old.

"Your Highness, Yu Cheng almost never leaves his home. Without a special order from the Committee Member, I can't enter the Imperial Dou Team's base."

Sun Buyu said nervously.

He had followed Xue Qinghe for many years, and this was the first time he had seen the other party angry.

Sun Buyu also felt a little wronged inside.

There were two orders Xue Qinghe had given him back then:

First, to take care of Yu Cheng's daily life.

Second, to reduce Yu Cheng's contact with external forces.

In the past year or two, people from the Martial Soul Hall had tried to see Yu Cheng several times, but he had refused them by making up excuses.

"Alright, Teacher Sun, you may withdraw first."

Xue Qinghe rubbed his temples and said, waving his hand.

In his eyes, Sun Buyu was a qualified executor. But asking him to make decisions on major matters was a bit difficult for him.

"Yes."

Sun Buyu, relieved, quickly left the room.

"Ci Xue, She Long, you two go to Sunset Forest and see what Dugu Bo wants with Yu Cheng."

Xue Qinghe's eyes were sharp as he spoke.

Dugu Bo actually had the audacity to try and poach someone from him!

"Yes!"

A cold voice came from the shadows.

"Your Highness, should we bring Yu Cheng back?"

Ci Xue asked.

His Martial Soul, the Pufferfish, was skilled in defense and vicious poison. Dugu Bo's snake venom posed no threat to him, and Ci Xue was confident he could defeat Dugu Bo.

"No need."

Xue Qinghe replied.

If they brought the person back directly, wouldn't it expose that he had Titled-level Guards?

"Ci Xue, use your identity as a Rogue Cultivator and say you are unconvinced by Dugu Bo's Toxin. Just beat him up."

"She Long, use the chaos to check if Yu Cheng is safe."

Xue Qinghe instructed carefully.

"Yes."

The two responded in deep voices and then disappeared from the room.

"Sigh~"

Xue Qinghe leaned back in his chair and sighed.

For years, he had been lurking in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, treading on thin ice, and every step he took was cautious.

And the people around him were all a bunch of reckless Warriors.

Sometimes, it was truly exhausting.
