Dugu Bo truly couldn't do anything more.
Even if he kept fighting, all he could do was kill eight hundred people to vent his anger.
And bring Dai Yunzhao and Shadow down on him.
To be honest, he absolutely didn't want to offend those two lunatics.
One was a Soul Elder who had absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and dared to take two of his attacks head-on.
The other had seemingly limitless Soul Power and was even completely immune to his poison.
Such people were not to be trifled with lightly.
He had already attacked twice, which was enough to repay Prince Xue Xing.
Dugu Bo dispelled the poisonous miasma filling the sky, and the Martial Soul Avatar behind him vanished along with it.
"Let's go. I won't stop you on the road ahead."
Dai Yunzhao forced himself to stay upright and clasped his hands. "Then I thank you!"
Dugu Bo watched Dai Yunzhao swing himself onto his horse, a deep envy that would not fade in his eyes.
What a fine age to be, when one could still dream.
At his age, there was no longer any chance to dream.
Dai Yunzhao had said he could help him take revenge?
Back then, Prince Xue Xing had commanded the Heaven Dou army and still failed.
How could he take the promise of a little boy seriously?
Dai Yunzhao rode up beside Dugu Bo and smiled. "Senior, I really do need someone to serve as my Imperial Preceptor. Won't you consider it?"
Dugu Bo sighed.
"I came from Heaven Dou. What would it mean for me to defect to the enemy?"
Dai Yunzhao turned his head to look at him. "There's no defection here. You don't hold an official post in Heaven Dou."
"At worst, I promise that if I capture Prince Xue Xing alive in the future, I'll spare his life."
"Xiong Ao, I remember our last encounter was against Prince Xue Xing, right?"
Xiong Ao, who had been ready to fight to the death at any moment, was startled when his name was called.
But he still nodded.
"Mm... right. Prince Xue Xing wasn't much of a commander. His troops were routed by Your Highness."
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched.
Truly, each generation surpassed the last. Prince Xue Xing had actually been routed by a little boy like this?
Dugu Bo looked at Dai Yunzhao. "Are you sure you can cure the poison afflicting me and my granddaughter?"
Dai Yunzhao nodded.
"But the condition is that you become my Imperial Preceptor. If you're not my Imperial Preceptor, how could I provide aid to the enemy?"
As he spoke, Dai Yunzhao took the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma from his arms.
It was an immature medicinal plant. Dai Yunzhao placed it in Dugu Bo's hands.
"Dai Yunzhao never goes back on his word. Please keep it safe, Senior."
Dugu Bo gazed at the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma before him, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
Though he was known as Poison Douluo, his poison harmed both others and himself.
For all these years, he had been treating his own body, and in the process, had studied quite a bit about medicinal herbs.
To be precise, he cultivated both medicine and poison.
He had a complete Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma of his own, but finding another was exceedingly difficult.
Dugu Bo accepted the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma and lowered his voice. "I'll keep it for Your Highness. Once it matures, I'll personally deliver it to Star Luo."
At last, a smile appeared on Dai Yunzhao's face.
"Then I'll wait for you to bring me the medicine, Senior!"
The eight hundred men continued onward through the rain.
Poison Douluo, meanwhile, trudged back in a state of dejection.
He hadn't expected things to turn out this way, but he had made the best choice for himself.
Betting against Dai Yunzhao had been his only chance to stop him.
The Black Armor Warrior at Dai Yunzhao's side wouldn't give him another chance.
That fellow was truly bizarre!
As Dugu Bo made his way back, he saw Flender and the others still lost in madness where they stood.
With their hearts so badly shaken, they would likely need quite some time to recover.
He didn't bother with them and simply drifted away.
Flender also spotted Dugu Bo in the distance, but could only stare blankly for a moment.
The blow of this battle had been too great.
Not to mention Ma Hongjun and Tang San, even the others couldn't make sense of what had happened.
Only after a long while did Flender get to his feet. He looked at Yu Xiaogang, who had already woken up.
"Mubai is dead. Tang San, would you and Fatty be willing to train hard at Shrek Academy?"
"Train hard until you can defeat that monster!"
Ma Hongjun was still pale. He crouched on the ground, panting heavily, and didn't dare answer.
Beside him, Tang San recalled everything Dai Yunzhao had said earlier.
His whole body trembled!
If someone really knew about what had happened to the Tang Sect in his previous life, would his methods and the disgraceful things he'd once done be exposed too?
To provoke Dai Yunzhao for the sake of Dai Mubai...
Tang San swayed unsteadily.
"He dared to treat us this way. He deserves to die!"
Since Dai Yunzhao knew his secrets, then he had to die!
Otherwise, his methods would never see the light of day!
How could a traitor to the Tang Sect dare to establish the Tang Sect again?
Dai Yunzhao had to die!
Seeing Tang San's high spirits, Yu Xiaogang was inspired as well.
"Xiao San, we'll defeat him together. I'll give you the best guidance!"
When Yu Xiaogang spoke of giving guidance again, Tang San's expression changed.
Were Yu Xiaogang's theories really correct?
If they were, how could he explain what had happened to him?
How could he explain the black Soul Ring on Dai Yunzhao?
Not to mention Dai Yunzhao, even the Black Armor Warrior at his side had a Soul Ring Configuration that didn't match Yu Xiaogang's research.
A trace of resentment had already kindled in Tang San's heart!
If that buzz-cut bastard dared to lead him astray, he would show him what it meant to turn against one's own master!
"Achoo!"
Dai Yunzhao suddenly sneezed as they traveled.
Although it was raining, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Someone must be cursing him behind his back!
Who could it be?
What a tough one to guess!
Dai Yunzhao could figure out with his toes that Tang San wanted him dead.
He had let Tang San off for now, but that didn't mean he'd let him live!
It was no good having a little villain like Tang San fixate on him.
So he planned to strike first.
Dai Yunzhao had always been good at getting the first blow in.
But for now, he couldn't let any of this show.
Dai Yunzhao spoke up. "Shadow, can you sense any powerful auras nearby?"
Shadow nodded.
"When we fought in Three Gorges Valley, I did sense a very powerful aura."
"That power was even greater than Dugu Bo's just now!"
"But I don't know why he didn't make a move."
Tang Hao really had been there!
Tang San was a major variable, and Dai Yunzhao was somewhat wary of provoking him.
If Tang Hao had stepped in back then, the outcome could truly have gone either way.
Fortunately, Tang Hao didn't care whether these people lived or died.
After all, he wouldn't even bother with the Clear Sky Sect. How could he care about the Heaven Dou Imperial Family or Dai Mubai?
"Let's go. Time to deliver a grand gift to my dear father!"
