Confronting Poison Douluo

"Huh? Are you serious, Luo Chen? You aren't lying to me, are you!"

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she looked at Luo Chen with an expression of excitement.

Could they really help her and her grandfather detoxify?

Having reached this point in the conversation, Dugu Yan completely believed what Luo Chen had said, because every single thing he mentioned was true, and they were all matters that only she and her grandfather knew about.

She truly hadn't expected that her Jade Phosphorous Serpent, the inherited martial soul of their Dugu family, would actually harm their own lives as they cultivated it.

She did not want to see her grandfather suffer anymore, nor did she want to die because of her own martial soul later on, so if Luo Chen could really help her and her grandfather detoxify...

What harm was there in taking Luo Chen there?

After all, those worldly possessions could never be as important as the lives of her and her grandfather.

Watching Dugu Yan, who was seeking a guarantee, Luo Chen raised his hand without hesitation.

"I swear by my own martial soul; I, Luo Chen, keep my word."

After a brief silence, Dugu Yan nodded gently.

"Fine, I will take you to the place you want to go. I hope you do not break your promise."

Hearing this, Luo Chen smiled slightly and looked at Guang Ling Douluo.

"Grandpa Guang Ling."

Guang Ling Douluo understood instantly; he stood up, raised his hand in a beckoning gesture, and carried the two of them into the air.

Dugu Yan very sensibly began to point the way for the two of them.

On the way, Guang Ling Douluo even used sound transmission to ask Luo Chen a question.

"Chen'er, will you really detoxify this pair of grandfather and granddaughter? A martial soul oath is no child's play."

What he received in return was a look of affirmation from Luo Chen.

Upon knowing Luo Chen's intent, Guang Ling Douluo said nothing more.

Soon, half a day passed, and by evening, Guang Ling Douluo found the location marked in Luo Chen's letter, which was also the destination Dugu Yan had spoken of.

It was a vast expanse of deep green poisonous miasma that surrounded the entire mountain peak.

Nothing grew where the poisonous gas passed, and no spirit beasts dared to approach the vicinity.

"This is the only place I know of. If it isn't the one you are looking for, then I don't know where else there could be."

Dugu Yan spoke softly, her emotions complex as she looked at the poisonous miasma before her.

She didn't know if what she was doing was right or wrong, but she had already brought them here...

On the other side, just as Guang Ling Douluo raised his hand, preparing to break through this layer of poisonous miasma, a similarly formidable aura suddenly struck.

The poisonous miasma was parted from the middle, and a figure filled with baleful energy slowly walked out from within.

It was an old man in green robes, surrounded by poisonous gas, who was glaring fiercely at Guang Ling Douluo and Luo Chen.

"What have you done to Yan Yan?"

Dugu Bo turned his gaze toward Dugu Yan, and only after confirming that his granddaughter had not suffered any harm did he look at Guang Ling Douluo and Luo Chen, speaking in a deep voice.

But this look was significant; he was fine when he saw Luo Chen, but when his gaze fell upon Guang Ling Douluo, he was suddenly stunned.

Dugu Bo's brows furrowed deeply, and he instantly revealed his martial soul.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—nine spirit rings appeared in unison beneath his feet, and at the same time, a giant, emerald-green poisonous snake appeared behind him.

The pressure, mixed with poisonous gas, instantly swallowed everything in the surroundings.

However, the three people facing this terror were completely unaffected.

Dugu Yan was someone Dugu Bo had deliberately shielded, and as for Luo Chen, a blue spirit power shield had appeared around his body.

Standing at the very center and in the forefront, Guang Ling Douluo did nothing at all; he simply stood there, unaffected in the slightest.

"Dugu Bo, for the sake of my Chen'er, I will not fight you, but you had best not push your luck."

Guang Ling Douluo spoke indifferently, showing not a shred of fear.

This caused Dugu Bo's brows to furrow even deeper.

He had rushed out the moment he sensed Dugu Yan's aura, thinking it was two ignorant juniors trying to use Dugu Yan to threaten him.

Now it seemed...

"Yan Yan, are you alright?"

In the end, Dugu Bo retracted his martial soul and turned his gaze back to Dugu Yan.

Since the other party had no intention of fighting, he would not look for trouble himself.

Through the probing just now, he had already seen that Guang Ling Douluo was definitely a Title Douluo just like him, and his rank was certainly higher than his own.

Even for the sake of Dugu Yan, he would not dare to start a fight here.

"Grandpa, I brought them here!"

As for Dugu Yan, she felt a wave of relief in her heart when she saw Dugu Bo retract his martial soul, and she ran toward Dugu Bo while speaking loudly.

Guang Ling Douluo followed Luo Chen's signal and did not intervene, allowing Dugu Yan to return to Dugu Bo's side.

Soon, Dugu Yan began to explain the ins and outs of the entire situation.

Dugu Bo's expression gradually shifted from shock to gravity.

After hearing everything, he looked up at Luo Chen and Guang Ling Douluo.

"I know what you want. If you can truly help my granddaughter and me detoxify, you may pick any of the immortal herbs here."

"But before that, I will only ask one thing: who are you?"

Luo Chen exchanged a glance with Guang Ling Douluo upon hearing this.

Guang Ling Douluo stepped forward, shielding Luo Chen behind him.

"This old man, titled Guang Ling, a level 96 power attack system Titled Douluo."

As his voice fell, the entire area fell into a deathly silence.

Dugu Yan was shocked that the person before her was actually a legendary Super Douluo above level 95.

However, Dugu Bo understood much more.

Guang Ling—as a veteran Titled Douluo, he had heard this name before.

This name was inextricably linked to Martial Soul Hall!

"Is Your Excellency that person from Martial Soul Hall?"

Dugu Bo took a deep breath and cupped his hands, his tone becoming significantly more polite.

Regardless of his usual demeanor, most of his malice toward Martial Soul Hall stemmed from Yue Guan; he remained quite respectful when encountering a powerhouse of this caliber from within Martial Soul Hall.

He had heard of Guang Ling Douluo, the Fifth Worship of Martial Soul Hall, in his earlier years.

The problem was that in his memory, this Guang Ling Douluo had disappeared for a long time, yet today, because of a single letter, he had reappeared in the world with a junior in tow...

Dugu Bo dared not dwell on it further.

Facing the inquiry, Guang Ling Douluo did not say much, merely nodding.

"It is indeed this old man."

Dugu Bo remained silent for a few seconds before finally shifting his gaze toward Luo Chen.

"Then what about this young friend who promised to treat my granddaughter and me?"

Luo Chen did not speak, so Guang Ling Douluo stepped in first.

"Who Chen'er is, you do not need to know. You only need to know that if you dare to touch a single hair on Chen'er, your Dugu Family will surely be annihilated!"

Guang Ling Douluo sneered; standing behind Luo Chen was their entire Worship Hall.

If this Poison Douluo Dugu Bo dared to harbor any crooked intentions, he would not mind stretching his limbs.

In fact, if the other old fellows found out about this, they likely wouldn't mind wiping out an entire family themselves.

Especially their Great Worship, his big brother Qian Daoliu.

The extent to which he treasured Luo Chen almost surpassed even Qian Renxue; all of them old fellows saw it in their eyes and kept it in their hearts.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo instinctively shielded Dugu Yan behind him, watching Guang Ling Douluo with wariness.

At the same time, he swept a glance toward Luo Chen, his heart filled with speculation and shock.
