Despair of Dugu Bo, the Children Are Innocent!

"Senior Qian Daoliu!" Dugu Bo kowtowed while pleading with a tearful voice, "Grieviaces have heads, and debts have owners."

"The mastermind who killed your granddaughter is Tang San, and it has nothing to do with this junior. Young descendants like Yan Yan and the others know nothing about this matter at all; they are innocent."

"Senior Qian Daoliu, you came for revenge! Go ahead and take this junior's life, and this junior is even willing to commit suicide on the spot to atone, only begging you to show mercy and spare these innocent people."

"It has nothing to do with you? They are innocent?" Hearing this, Qian Daoliu almost laughed out loud, "Dugu Bo, back then Spirit Hall recruited you, and you refused to join time and time again!"

"You didn't want to join Spirit Hall, so be it, but why did you deliberately go against Spirit Hall? Why did you act as Tang San's accomplice? Why did you plot to harm this old man's granddaughter!"

"They are innocent?" Qian Daoliu looked at Dugu Yan and the others, sneering, "They are innocent? Is this old man's granddaughter not innocent?"

"Did this old man's granddaughter ever offend you?" Qian Daoliu's voice suddenly rose, exploding like thunder, "A strong person's benevolence is the good fortune of the weak, not a reason for the weak to push their luck!"

Dugu Bo widened his eyes, trembling all over, and choked out, "Why did I help Tang San in the first place? Why?!"

"Grandpa... save me... grandpa..."

Bound by the Soul Power chains, Dugu Yan was jolted awake directly by the earlier voice. She vaguely remembered that she was strolling in a small town with Yu Tianheng, and even daydreaming about the future and how to rebuild the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan later on.

Yet suddenly a figure struck, and she completely lost consciousness before she could even cry out for help.

Looking at her grandpa kneeling on the ground and kowtowing frantically, and then looking at herself tied up by the chains, Dugu Yan panicked and said, "What is going on here? Grandpa, save me!"

"Yan Yan!" Dugu Bo's heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife, but there was nothing he could do right now, as the gap in strength was simply too vast.

Just as Dugu Yan woke up, Yu Tianheng, Ye Lingling, and Ye Lingling's mother Ye Qingqing nearby also woke up one after another.

They first looked at Qian Daoliu, and then saw Dugu Bo kneeling on the ground and kowtowing frantically, instantly turning pale with fright.

What kind of existence was the person who captured them? To actually be able to make Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, kneel and kowtow?!

"Senior Qian Daoliu..." Dugu Bo pleaded once more.

"This junior knows he was wrong; this junior truly knows he was wrong. Back at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, how could this junior have imagined that that bastard Tang San would be so bold and reckless as to ruthlessly kill your granddaughter?"

"This junior can tell you the whereabouts of Tang San entirely, only begging Senior to spare Yan Yan and the others and leave them a path to survival."

"Qingqing and Lingling, mother and daughter, belong to the Undying Family. They know nothing about this matter whatsoever, nor did they participate."

"People from the Undying Family?" Qian Daoliu's gaze slowly landed on Ye Qingqing and Ye Lingling, followed by a sneer.

"In the past, the Undying Family also healed the injuries of quite a few soul masters for our Spirit Hall. Under normal circumstances, this old man might have spared them a path to survival!"

"Yet you just had to... just had to get to know Dugu Bo, and furthermore have a deep relationship with him! This old man said back then that he would slaughter all factions and people related to Tang San!"

At this point, Qian Daoliu's gaze turned chillingly grim, "As for you? Does this old man need you to tell me where Tang San went?"

"To tell you the truth, Dugu Bo, before coming here, this old man already personally slaughtered the Tiantou Imperial Family and even reduced Heaven Dou City to ruins!"

"This old man also butchered Ning Fengzhi and those two Titled Douluo bodyguards of his! Before coming to the Sunset Forest, this old man went to the Clear Sky Sect and flattened the Clear Sky Sect!"

"Before dying, Ning Fengzhi already told this old man where they managed to escape to, but this old man didn't spare him either!"

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu burst into wild laughter, "So what gives you the right? What makes you think this old man would spare you lot? What makes you think this old man would spare your granddaughter?!"

"This old man's granddaughter is dead, and I want everyone related to Xiao Xue's death to be buried with my granddaughter!"

Listening to this, Dugu Bo gradually collapsed to the ground, his gaze blank and dull.

The Tiantou Imperial Family was gone? Heaven Dou City was gone too? Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong were all dead? He even flattened the Clear Sky Sect?

How many people did Qian Daoliu kill? Having killed so many people, he had completely gone mad; why would a madman like him spare his own granddaughter?

"Senior! This junior expresses his deepest apologies for your granddaughter's death, but this has nothing to do with our Undying Family!"

"People from our Undying Family never participated in the affair at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace!" Ye Qingqing looked at Dugu Bo and said.

This was simply an unprovoked disaster! Their Undying Family had always strictly adhered to neutrality and never offended anyone, yet ended up because of Dugu Bo...

"Deepest apologies? This old man has heard enough. No matter how apologetic you are, my granddaughter is not coming back to life."

"Your Undying Family truly has nothing to do with this matter, but so what?" Qian Daoliu held the Angel Holy Sword vertically in front of his chest, fierce light erupting in his eyes, "Yet who told you to know Dugu Bo? If you want to blame someone, blame Dugu Bo!"

"Dugu Bo, this old man's granddaughter is dead—died at the hands of you lot—so today, right before your eyes, this old man is going to hack your granddaughter into a thousand pieces sword by sword!"

"This old man wants you to watch with your own eyes, watching precisely how your granddaughter dies in despair! I want you to taste the heart-piercing pain this old man has felt during this time as well!"

"Don't blame this old man for being ruthless; Dugu Bo was the one who provoked our Spirit Hall first! If he hadn't participated in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace affair, this old man wouldn't have come looking for you!"

"Cause and effect circulate, retribution is never late!" With that, Qian Daoliu looked at Yu Tianheng, the Angel Holy Sword flashing with a sharp edge, "Dugu Bo, let's start with your granddaughter's husband first!"

"Remnant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? If this old man remembers correctly, that Yu Xiaogang is your uncle, right? Rest assured, very soon your uncle will go down to keep you company!"

"Qian Daoliu, you won't die a good death! You only lost a granddaughter, while my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan lost so many people—who are we supposed to settle accounts with?!" Yu Tianheng cursed angrily.

He did not want to die; he was still so young, yet how could Qian Daoliu possibly spare them? The Tiantou Imperial Family, Ning Fengzhi, the Clear Sky Sect—Qian Daoliu hadn't spared a single one!

"Senior Qian Daoliu, our Undying Family's inherited martial soul, the Nine Heart Begonia, is the continent's most powerful healing martial soul."

"Senior, I am Ye Qingqing, the current patriarch of the Undying Family. As long as you spare us, our Undying Family is willing to join Spirit Hall!"

"Join Spirit Hall?" Qian Daoliu slowly raised his gaze, looking at Ye Qingqing as he said coldly, "Too late, too late. This old man only wants you to die!"
