Long Xiaoyao's Ancestor? The Time Has Come: Execute Yu Xiaogang

"Heh, your most important subordinate? Keep dreaming. Old Ghost and I are!" Chrysanthemum Douluo refused to back down, saying impatiently,

"Let's go. Enough nonsense!"

The two bickered the whole way, rushing toward Notting City.

A week later.

Dugu Bo and Chrysanthemum Douluo arrived in Notting City.

Qian Xunye secretly met with them near the city walls.

"Dugu Bo greets my lord!" Poison Douluo immediately dropped to one knee.

Noticing that the unhealed injuries on Dugu Bo's face had clearly been inflicted by Chrysanthemum Douluo, Qian Xunye could not help but smile. "What happened to your face?"

Dugu Bo said indignantly, "Wasn't it that Chrysanthemum Guan's doing? My lord, you have to stand up for me!"

"Enough, enough. Stop being angry. You are both my people now, and there is no deep-seated grudge or blood feud between you. When working together in the future, put your grievances aside."

"I do not expect you to shake hands, make peace, and become good friends. You can compete with each other, but do not try to kill one another. Can you do that?"

"Yes!"

The two answered in unison.

Qian Xunye asked, "Alright, Dugu Bo. Have you handled the three matters I assigned to you?"

"I have, my lord! Here is the whale glue you wanted!" Dugu Bo tossed out more than a dozen ten-thousand-year whale glue blocks and dozens upon dozens of thousand-year whale glue blocks in one go.

"Not bad." Qian Xunye nodded inwardly and swept up all the whale glue.

Dugu Bo continued, "My lord, Night Temple has been completed according to your requirements. You may return to Sunset Forest to inspect it at any time!"

"Your subordinate has also recruited a group of absolutely obedient and reliable soul masters, two hundred in total."

"Among them is one level 81 Soul Douluo, five Soul Sages, twenty Soul Emperors, and the rest are Soul Kings to Soul Ancestors. In addition, I have recruited some talented soul masters with innate soul power of at least level 8."

"Oh? There is actually a Soul Douluo?" Qian Xunye was somewhat surprised.

A powerhouse at the Soul Douluo level was enough to establish a sect.

Any family or sect with a Soul Douluo powerhouse guarding it could be considered a near-top-tier soul master force on the continent. After all, the strongest members of the Lower Four Sects among the Seven Great Sects were only Soul Douluos.

He truly had not expected to recruit a Soul Douluo.

Qian Xunye asked, "What is this person's background? Have you investigated him thoroughly?"

"His name is Long Potian. His martial soul is the Dark Dragon, and he is thirty-eight years old."

"Oh? A thirty-eight-year-old Soul Douluo? With such talent, he has a chance of becoming Titled!" Qian Xunye's eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of something. "Wait! A Dark Dragon martial soul? And his surname is Long?"

He suddenly recalled that during the era of the Peerless Tang Sect ten thousand years later, the Holy Spirit Cult had a level 99 Ultimate Douluo named Long Xiaoyao, whose martial soul was the Dark Sacred Dragon.

They both had the surname Long, both possessed dragon-type martial souls, and both had dark attributes.

Could this Long Potian be Long Xiaoyao's ancestor ten thousand years later? Qian Xunye merely considered it before shaking his head with a smile. "It should not be such a coincidence. I am probably overthinking it."

Dugu Bo continued, "Long Potian was born a commoner. He once joined a mid-to-upper-tier soul master family and served them. Ten years ago, that soul master family offended the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and was ultimately destroyed."

"Long Potian narrowly escaped death and did not dare show himself. Since then, he has vanished from the continent."

"Your subordinate happened to encounter him on the way to the West Sea. We came into conflict, and seeing that he had good talent, I recruited him into our Night Temple."

"So that is what happened." Qian Xunye understood the whole story and smiled. "He has a grudge against the Blue Lightning Clan? What a coincidence. This man can be put to good use."

"Send word to have him wait near the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Once matters in Notting City are settled, you will follow me to the Blue Lightning Clan's territory and destroy the Blue Lightning Clan!"

"What! My lord intends to destroy the Blue Lightning Clan!" Dugu Bo was shocked pale.

"What? Are you afraid?"

Dugu Bo swallowed and said with a serious expression, "Since it is my lord's decision, Dugu Bo will certainly follow!"

With Dugu Bo's poison capable of slaughtering groups, along with the aid of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, the four of them already formed an extremely terrifying force, enough to destroy the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"You have completed the three tasks I gave you, so it is time for me to fulfill what I promised you."

Dugu Bo grew excited and dropped to both knees. "I beg my lord to grant me a method to detoxify myself!"

"For now, I will teach you a detoxification method that treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If you perform well later, I can grant you a method that completely resolves the poison backlash. However, that complete solution can only detoxify one person, so when the time comes, you must choose between yourself and your granddaughter."

"I understand, my lord!"

Qian Xunye said, "This method that treats the symptoms but not the root cause is actually very simple. You only need to find a container and force the poison within your body into it. That way, the poison will no longer backlash against you. This container can be a soul bone."

Dugu Bo's eyes widened in immense delight. "A container! A soul bone! This method seems feasible! Why did I never think of such a method before?!"

Qian Xunye truly did not understand why even a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo had failed to think of it, but it did not matter. As long as it could temporarily solve the problem, that was enough.

As long as he had enough soul bones, living for several centuries would not pose much of a problem.

Dugu Bo could now basically be put to good use, so Qian Xunye directly took out an immortal herb and gave it to him. "This is Dark-Scaled Venomgrass. Absorb it. It should help you break through to level 92."

"Thank you, my lord!!" Dugu Bo was thrilled, inwardly ecstatic. As expected, I am my lord's most important subordinate!!

Dugu Bo immediately absorbed the immortal herb, his soul power breaking through to level 92 on the spot. He then promptly followed Qian Xunye's method and forced the poison into his soul bones. The effect was remarkable in a short time!

Qian Xunye also clearly absorbed a wave of soul power energy, and his soul power advanced considerably once more. He smiled faintly. "Not bad. At this rate, I should be able to break through to level 94 in a few months at most."

"Tomorrow is the final day, Bibi Dong. Do not disappoint me."

Qian Xunye returned to the top of the high wall and gazed into the distance.

The next day, dawn.

It was now the fifteenth day.

If Bibi Dong still did not appear before six in the evening today, then it would be Yu Xiaogang's day of death.

Time passed second by second.

Noon!

Afternoon!

The sun slowly sank, and dusk arrived.

A beautiful evening glow appeared in the sky above Notting City.

The time finally reached 5:59.

At exactly six o'clock, Qian Xunye slowly rose to his feet. "The time has come. Yu Xiaogang, your time to die has come as well."

"Men! Drag Yu Xiaogang up here!"

"Yes!"

Two soldiers immediately pulled the ropes, hauling the half-dead Yu Xiaogang up before tying him to a cross.

"Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang. It seems no one is coming to save you. You no longer hold any value for me, so you may die now."

Qian Xunye said coldly, "Sword, come!"
