Dugu Bo Delivers Himself!

Gu Rong arrived at Ning Rongrong's side in an instant.

He looked her up and down, only breathing a sigh of relief once he confirmed she was uninjured.

He had been using spatial soul skills to travel the entire way, which had consumed a significant amount of his soul power.

"Rongrong, where is that guy Tang Hao?"

Gu Rong looked at the surrounding battlefield; Tang Hao's aura had already vanished.

Ning Rongrong pointed excitedly at Qin Jiuxiao in the sky, her face full of pride.

"That guy was already defeated by Brother Jiuxiao, and he just tucked his tail and ran away."

Hearing this, Gu Rong followed Ning Rongrong's finger to look at the sky.

At this moment, Qin Jiuxiao had already deactivated his martial soul fusion skill and was slowly descending while holding Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun.

The two of them had consumed a great deal of soul power and were now completely exhausted.

They leaned softly against his body.

After handing the sisters over to Ning Rongrong, Qin Jiuxiao walked up to Gu Rong and greeted him:

"Grandpa Bone, we meet again."

Gu Rong looked at Qin Jiuxiao with eyes full of astonishment.

He did not speak, simply placing a hand on Qin Jiuxiao's shoulder and beginning to exert soul power pressure.

Level 30!

Level 40!

Level 50!

Level 60!

When he increased it to level 70, Qin Jiuxiao's expression remained unchanged.

This shocked Gu Rong beyond measure.

One had to know that a level 70 soul saint was the dividing line for powerful soul masters; reaching this level allowed one to use the true body of their martial soul, doubling their strength.

Yet, even this level of pressure had failed to force out Qin Jiuxiao's martial soul.

Just how far had this kid's physical constitution reached?

Gu Rong increased his soul power to level 80.

Qin Jiuxiao finally showed a slight change, as golden patterns lit up across the surface of his skin.

But his martial soul still did not appear.

Level 90!

Gu Rong's nine soul rings slowly lit up, and his soul pressure finally reached that of a Title Douluo.

Behind Qin Jiuxiao, the phantom of the Heavenly Horned Ant appeared.

That aura from the primordial age directly shattered Gu Rong's soul pressure, forcing him to take two steps back.

Gu Rong's eyes widened.

He had been somewhat skeptical when Ning Rongrong said Qin Jiuxiao had defeated Tang Hao, but now he believed it seven or eight parts.

"Good, good, good! What a fine lad!"

"Your strength has actually improved so quickly!"

Gu Rong patted Qin Jiuxiao's shoulder firmly, then looked toward a certain corner.

"Old Poison, how much longer do you intend to hide? Aren't you going to come out?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and flicked a bone spur toward the shadows.

The next moment, the bone spur was dissolved by a green poisonous mist.

Dugu Bo walked slowly out of the shadows, his expression grave.

"Bone Douluo's perception is indeed sharp."

Gu Rong was a level 95 Title Douluo, while he was only level 91; naturally, he was no match for Bone Douluo.

"Old Poison, you weren't planning on ambushing Jiuxiao, were you?"

Gu Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, soul power condensing in his palm.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo's pupils constricted, and he immediately became guarded.

"I would never stoop to bullying the young like that. Besides, I actually helped him out, so why would I ambush him?"

"Helping Jiuxiao? How so?"

Gu Rong slowly dissipated his soul power. Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief and flashed closer.

He raised his hand, revealing a compass in his palm that pointed in a specific direction.

"When that guy fled just now, I left a trace of soul power on him. His subsequent movements are all within my grasp."

Dugu Bo let out a cackling laugh and stroked his beard.

Seeing that there was a way to track Tang Hao, Gu Rong was overjoyed; he had been worrying about how to get his revenge.

"Old Poison, lend me that compass. I can pay you in Gold Soul Coins."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the wealthiest sect on the entire continent, and as an elder of the sect, he certainly wasn't short on money.

He immediately took a card from his soul storage device containing ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.

But before Dugu Bo could speak, two other voices rang out.

"We offer twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins for information on Tang Hao."

Everyone looked over immediately to see the two Title Douluos, Snake Spear and Pufferfish, arriving at high speed.

They landed steadily not far from them.

"Title Douluos! You are from Spirit Hall!"

Gu Rong narrowed his eyes, subconsciously shielding Qin Jiuxiao and Ning Rongrong behind him.

Dugu Bo was also secretly on guard; he had some grudges with Spirit Hall as well.

"Gentlemen, please give Spirit Hall some face. Tang Hao is a mortal enemy of ours. Now that we finally have a lead on him, we will not let it go."

Gu Rong hesitated; he represented the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

If he took a stand too easily, it would be very easy for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall to clash right now.

Before Gu Rong could think of a countermeasure, a voice suppressed with anger came from afar.

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is determined to obtain this intelligence. We will not yield!"

Everyone looked over immediately.

A flash of sword light arrived in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi appeared not far away.

"Dad! Grandpa Sword!"

Ning Rongrong called out happily, but she was still supporting the sisters Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, so she couldn't run over.

Seeing Ning Rongrong alive and kicking, Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

He then returned to his calm and composed demeanor.

He stepped forward between the several Title Douluos, appearing somewhat forceful for the first time.

"Your Excellencies, this Tang Hao tried to kill my only daughter. No matter what, I will not let this go."

Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo exchanged a glance, their eyes sweeping over Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, and they quickly made a decision.

They were all out to deal with Tang Hao anyway; it didn't matter who bought the information.

Besides, with Sword and Bone Douluo present, they couldn't win a fight for it, so they might as well offer a favor.

"Since Sect Master Ning has spoken, we won't argue with you."

"But there is one thing: we must also know Tang Hao's location."

"Spirit Hall will send people to help Sect Master Ning encircle and suppress Tang Hao. What do you think?"

Ning Fengzhi thought about it; this was a very cost-effective deal.

He could get revenge while ensuring the safety of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's disciples—why wouldn't he?

"Agreed!"

Just like that, in the span of a few breaths, the deal was struck.

Dugu Bo watched as these people ignored him completely, feeling somewhat annoyed.

But there was no helping it; this was the gap in strength.

Furthermore, he hadn't fully pledged allegiance to any faction, serving only as a guest official for the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

In front of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall, this background meant nothing.

He grew anxious; if such a good opportunity to befriend Qin Jiuxiao was wasted, he would truly wake up in the middle of the night in a rage.

His eyes rolled, and a plan formed in his mind.

"Since you have all reached an agreement, I certainly won't be a spoilsport."

"I won't have you buy this lead on Tang Hao's location; I will give it directly to Sect Master Ning."

"It is for no other reason than that the Qin boy is very much to my liking. I simply wish to form a friendship across generations with him."

Bone Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo, both of whom knew of Qin Jiuxiao's strength, secretly rolled their eyes.

This old guy really knew how to seize an opportunity.

However, they didn't speak up to expose him.

Everyone looked at Qin Jiuxiao, who had remained silent, wanting to see his opinion.

"Since Your Excellency Poison Douluo thinks so highly of this junior, I naturally will not refuse."

Although Qin Jiuxiao was surprised by Dugu Bo's words, he quickly regained his composure and agreed.

He had originally been thinking of finding an opportunity to get close to Dugu Bo.

Whether it was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well or Dugu Yan, he was very interested.

Since he had delivered himself to his doorstep, he would take everything on offer!
