Bibi Dong came back to her senses and saw Jiang Qingyu standing in front of her, her face immediately lighting up with delight.
Qingyu acted so quickly.
Looking at that reassuring back, there was no equal to it in the world...
No, this was not the time for fantasies. Bibi Dong immediately stepped forward, fixing her gaze on Liu Erlong. "Liu Erlong, what are you doing? You actually dared to launch a sneak attack on me!"
Liu Erlong knew this was not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon lineage, so she clasped her fists in greeting. "Your Highness the Saintess, Yu Xiaogang is also a member of my clan. Wasn't your handling of things just now somewhat inappropriate?"
It was true that Yu Xiaogang was useless, but he was still an inheritor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon lineage. Her father had also instructed her that whenever a clansman was in danger, she had to lend a hand. It would greatly benefit her return to the sect in the future.
Yu Luomian did this because it would allow quite a few people to speak up for her.
"Inappropriate?"
"What could possibly be wrong with what this Saintess does? Besides, you just ambushed me. Your crime is aggravated!"
She dared to ambush me like that, and now she's accusing me instead!
"Liu Erlong, you attacked the Saintess without authorization, spoke disrespectfully, and shielded Yu Xiaogang. Your crime is aggravated. As the Holy Son, I declare that you and Yu Xiaogang are forbidden from setting foot in Spirit Hall for the rest of your lives!"
Jiang Qingyu pronounced the verdict without the slightest hesitation.
With his cold gaze, those words sounded even more chilling and ruthless.
Liu Erlong's heart skipped a beat. "Your Highness the Holy Son, we are guests. Was I wrong to protect a member of my clan?"
Jiang Qingyu snorted coldly. "Guests? Why didn't you consider that when you attacked the Saintess? If you had simply kept quiet, none of this would have happened."
Liu Erlong still refused to yield. "I was protecting my clansman. Your Highness the Holy Son should consider how guests ought to be treated."
"Are you teaching this Holy Son how to do things?"
Jiang Qingyu released the aura of a Soul Sage.
Liu Erlong likewise released her Fire Dragon martial soul to resist it.
There was an entire major realm separating a Soul King from a Soul Sage, not something a martial soul alone could make up for. Moreover, Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon martial soul held no advantage against the Phoenix bloodline within Jiang Qingyu's Flame Phoenix Sword martial soul.
Not to mention if he summoned the Ice Dragon King martial soul.
A phoenix cry rang out. Jiang Qingyu took a step forward, and Liu Erlong instantly fell to her knees.
Liu Erlong's mind shook violently. This was bloodline suppression.
Yu Xiaogang, lying on the ground, was already scared out of his wits. There was not a trace of emotion in Jiang Qingyu's eyes.
"Yue Guan, Ghost!"
Jiang Qingyu immediately called out into the air.
As his voice carried out, Yue Guan and Ghost appeared. A man with short dark-green hair appeared with them.
"Your Highness the Holy Son!" The three bowed.
"Throw these two out."
"Yes!" Yue Guan and Ghost immediately grabbed the two and left.
Dugu Bo remained where he was.
Tang Yuehua covered her mouth. What had just happened left her somewhat unable to recover. They had clearly formed an alliance together only minutes ago, yet in the blink of an eye, they had been ordered never to set foot in Spirit Hall again.
Elsewhere, Yue Guan and Ghost arrived outside Spirit City and tossed the two out like garbage.
Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang rolled several times before finally stopping.
"Inform everyone that Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang are forbidden from entering!"
"They actually managed to sneak in this time and even disturbed the Holy Son."
Yue Guan issued the order to the captain of the soldiers guarding the city gate.
"Yes, Elder Yue Guan."
The soldier captain hurriedly nodded.
Yue Guan and Ghost turned and left, taking less than five minutes to return.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, it has been dealt with!"
Yue Guan and Ghost clasped their fists.
Jiang Qingyu nodded slightly. "Good. You've worked hard."
He then looked at Tang Yuehua. "Miss Tang, you should return. At least you didn't get involved with Liu Erlong."
Tang Yuehua came back to her senses, bowed in salute, and left.
This was no longer a suitable place for her to remain.
Jiang Qingyu truly handled matters cleanly and decisively.
After Tang Yuehua left, Jiang Qingyu looked at Dugu Bo, who was still standing there, and said calmly, "You must be Senior Dugu?"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Your Highness the Holy Son flatters me. Just call me Dugu Bo."
Dugu Bo shuddered in fright. He did not dare let the Holy Son call him Senior!
What virtue or ability do I have to deserve that?
"Dugu Bo, I presume you understand what I mean. I can save you and completely eliminate the problem that has plagued your Jade-Scaled Serpent lineage."
Dugu Bo's eyes brightened, and he asked excitedly, "Your Highness the Saintess, how can it be treated?"
Jiang Qingyu did not take it out in a hurry. Instead, he stated his conditions. "Dugu Bo, let me prepare you first. The poison can be cured, but you must be prepared for the price. Also, you must bring your son to join Spirit Hall."
Yue Guan leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Your Highness the Holy Son, this old poisoner is simply a stubborn old fool."
But as soon as Yue Guan finished speaking, Dugu Bo's voice rang out.
"This old man is willing!"
Dugu Bo agreed without hesitation.
He would join if that was what it took. Once the poison was cured, there would be descendants. Besides, with the Holy Son as his backer, his future would be promising.
"This is the stubborn old fool you spoke of?" Jiang Qingyu raised a brow teasingly.
Yue Guan's old face reddened. He coughed twice. "Your Highness the Holy Son, perhaps your charm is simply too great."
This old poisoner is deliberately making me lose face, isn't he?
"You refused when I asked you to join before. You said you needed to have backbone. What about now?" Yue Guan could not help mocking Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo did not care in the least. "Backbone? How much is backbone worth?"
Yue Guan clenched his fists, his face turning livid with anger.
"Damn old poisoner, you're infuriating me!"
Seeing that he was about to lose control, Ghost hurriedly grabbed Yue Guan and advised, "Yue Guan, have you gone mad?"
Yue Guan snapped, "This old poisoner has gone too far. He opposes me every single time."
Ghost said, "Then you should at least wait until he joins Spirit Hall."
After Yue Guan calmed down, he snorted. "That makes sense!"
Bibi Dong covered her mouth and laughed softly. She had never seen Elder Yue Guan lose his composure so thoroughly.
Jiang Qingyu paid them no mind. Instead, he took out a plant shaped much like a sweet potato, its skin sparkling beneath the sunlight.
"This is an Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It contains the origin essence of an Earth Dragon. Dragons and serpents share the same origin; snakes transform into flood dragons, and flood dragons transform into true dragons."
"However, no one knows what the result will be after swallowing it. Your martial soul will mutate one hundred percent, but no one knows what it will ultimately become."
Dugu Bo looked at the golden potato, his heart conflicted. He wanted to eat it, yet he did not dare.
His Highness the Holy Son didn't seem to say it would kill me!
Perhaps the problem isn't that serious.
But if I die, I'll truly be dead.
"There is a second method: absorb a soul bone and use it to store the poison. Whenever you release a soul bone skill, you can release the poison as well. Over time, the accumulated poison will be discharged. However, a soul bone can only store a limited amount of poison, and this is not the optimal solution."
Dugu Bo was troubled. He had to choose one of two options, yet soul bones were extraordinarily precious. He was somewhat reluctant to part with one; many Title Douluo possessed only a single soul bone.
Seeing that Dugu Bo could not make up his mind for a long while, Jiang Qingyu continued, "If you cannot choose, I suggest you choose the first method."
