When the white light made a circuit through Dugu Bo's body.

Dugu Bo could clearly feel the changes within him.

The toxins were spilling out from the soul bones he had absorbed.

They were returning to his Martial Soul!

Previously, he had used the soul bones to suppress the toxins within them.

But now, the toxins had reappeared.

He could die at any moment!

Yet to his surprise, when the toxins returned to his Martial Soul.

His Martial Soul changed.

Originally, the toxins should have invaded his internal organs, even reaching the vicinity of his heart.

But now, the toxins were firmly locked within the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul.

And there was no sign of any leakage.

Moreover, his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul seemed to have undergone some changes.

Its color had become deeper, and its strength had increased considerably.

The flaw in his Martial Soul had been completely remedied.

Now, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor no longer produced toxins that threatened him.

On the contrary, he could freely wield those toxins.

His poisonous arts had undergone obvious changes.

Was it because of that speck of white light the other party had flicked out?

At that thought, Dugu Bo was shocked beyond words.

It was simply unbelievable.

Someone had actually resolved the flaw in his Martial Soul so easily.

Could this person be a god?

The Sky Screen had already revealed it before.

There were God King Level beings on Douluo Continent.

Then this Master Ye before him was very likely a God Level expert as well.

He had merely concealed his identity and did not wish to draw attention.

Someone like this could never be from Spirit Hall!

"Little old man, how do you feel?"

Ye Mu smiled. Dugu Bo was someone he found rather regrettable.

Though he had a solitary temperament, he truly stepped up when it mattered.

Unfortunately, he had been thoroughly played by Tang San.

In the final battle, he sacrificed himself, which also led to the downfall of the Dugu Family, vanishing into the river of history.

It was rather tragic.

Since they had met now, Ye Mu might as well lend him a hand.

He had nothing better to do anyway, so it was fine to have a little fun.

Dugu Bo came back to his senses and immediately dismissed his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul.

Then, with a thud, he dropped to his knees.

"Thank you, Senior, for lending me your aid!"

He knew clearly that the other party had completely cured the flaw in his Martial Soul.

It was entirely different from Tang San's method.

Such miraculous means could only be accomplished by a God Level expert.

It was true that he had a solitary disposition.

But he was also clear about gratitude and grudges.

How could he fail to repay such a life-changing favor?

"Get up. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at a Title Douluo kneeling like this?"

Dugu Bo rose at once and said with a bitter smile, "Before you, Senior, this little bit of strength of mine... is probably not worth mentioning."

"You're quite clever. So, are you still taking Xue Ke back? Do you still think I'm from Spirit Hall?"

"No, no, no. How could you possibly be from Spirit Hall?"

"Princess Xue Ke is absolutely safe by your side!"

What a joke.

If Spirit Hall had an expert of this level.

It would have long since steamrolled all of Douluo Continent.

However, Qian Renxue was now already a Title Douluo.

And she also possessed the Angel God King Inheritance.

If she became a god in the future, she would be a God King Level expert.

With Qian Renxue in Spirit Hall, Douluo Continent was truly in danger.

"Senior, would you be willing to accompany me to the Imperial Palace?"

Dugu Bo thought of something.

If he could bring Ye Mu to the Imperial Palace, perhaps some of the Heaven Dou Empire's troubles could be resolved.

"You... want me to treat Xue Ye?"

Ye Mu narrowed his eyes.

How could he fail to see through Dugu Bo's little scheme?

Hearing this, Xue Ke abruptly looked at Ye Mu.

"Master Ye can treat my father?"

She knew Ye Mu's methods were extraordinary.

But she had never considered the matter of detoxification.

After all, even Poison Douluo had been helpless.

"What is so difficult about treating him?"

"Then... then Master Ye never mentioned it before."

"You never asked before."

Xue Ke did not know whether to laugh or cry.

It seemed she truly had never asked.

Perhaps she had assumed that even Master Ye had no solution, so she had never considered it.

Now that she knew, perhaps she could ask Master Ye for help.

"Master Ye, please help. Can you cure my father?"

As she spoke, Xue Ke grabbed Ye Mu's sleeve and began shaking it.

"This..."

"Master Ye hasn't tried the Heaven Dou Royal Kitchen's cooking, right? Why not go give it a try?"

"No problem. I'll give it a try."

Ye Mu agreed without hesitation.

Xue Ke secretly rejoiced.

Master Ye liked good food, but he apparently had not sampled the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's cuisine yet.

With that as a bargaining chip, there should be no problem.

Sure enough, her guess had been spot-on!

Dugu Bo, meanwhile, fell into thought.

Using food to entice Senior Ye?

That would probably be difficult!

The reason he had agreed now was likely because of Princess Xue Ke.

Dugu Bo did not think Ye Mu had taken a fancy to Xue Ke.

After all, Ye Mu was a God Level expert, and no one knew how old he was.

How could he possibly have feelings for a little girl like Xue Ke?

He probably regarded her as a junior.

"Senior, shall we head to the Imperial Palace now?"

He spoke cautiously.

This Senior was unfathomable and not someone to provoke.

At the same time, this was his true benefactor.

That brat Tang San had offered him some solutions.

But that brat was far too scheming.

He clearly had so many Immortal Herbs, yet refused to mention them, and even dug up all of Dugu Bo's herbs.

Judging by what the Sky Screen had shown, those Immortal Herbs were extremely precious.

Perhaps some of them could have altered the flaw in his Martial Soul.

In fact, from the changes in people like Dai Mubai, one could already guess the effects of the Immortal Herbs.

With the help of an Immortal Herb, Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul had evolved.

If Dugu Bo had consumed an Immortal Herb like Ma Hongjun's, perhaps the flaw in his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul could have been resolved.

So Tang San truly had been too scheming.

Dugu Bo really did not know how he had once thought that brat was outstanding.

He was clearly a transmigrator who was deeply calculating and full of schemes at every turn!

"Then let's go take a look around the Imperial Palace first."

Ye Mu did not mind.

He had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well visit the Imperial Palace first.

"This way, Senior."

Dugu Bo respectfully led the way.

They soon arrived outside the Imperial Palace. Taking out the token Xue Ye had given him, they entered directly.

Xue Ye was still in his bedchamber, and his condition did not look optimistic.

"What happened?"

Dugu Bo frowned. Looking at the things beside the bed, had he coughed up blood again?

"Your Excellency Poison Douluo, after you left, Your Majesty coughed up blood again."

The Chief Guard beside him was extremely anxious.

"Poison Douluo, have you brought Xue Ke back?"

Hearing the voices, Xue Ye slowly opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Princess Xue Ke has returned to the Imperial Palace."

"Good, good, good. As expected, when Poison Douluo takes action, there is nothing he cannot accomplish. Where is Xue Ke?"

Xue Ye smiled.

It still took a Title Douluo to handle such matters.

"Father, how... how are you feeling?"

Upon seeing her father, Xue Ke hurried over.

Then she turned toward Ye Mu and anxiously asked, "Master Ye, can my father... can he still be cured?"

Master Ye?

Hearing that title, Xue Ye's eyes widened at once.

What?

That Master Ye had come to the Imperial Palace too?
