at the same time.
Heaven Dou City.
The stronghold of the Strength Clan.
As one of the former affiliated clans of the Clear Sky Sect, the Strength Clan, although it has long since broken away from the Clear Sky Sect, still owns a sizable mansion in Heaven Dou City.
now.
Inside the clan's council hall.
Chief Tai Tan sat regally in the main seat.
On either side of him sat several clan elders.
only.
At this moment, everyone's attention was clearly not on clan affairs.
"Strangeness!"
One of the elders frowned.
Why hasn't Tai Jian returned yet?
"Logically speaking, given his abilities, he should have finished the matter long ago."
Upon hearing this...
Another elder couldn't help but shake his head.
What's the rush?
"It's just going to deal with a Soul Elder of level 30-something!"
" Tai Jian is at least a level 55 Power Attack System Battle Soul King!"
" His Soul Power is more than twenty levels higher than the opponent's; how could anything unexpected possibly happen?"
"Ha ha!"
Upon hearing this,
The elders nearby immediately burst into laughter.
"That's true!"
"With Tai Jian's strength, dealing with a mere Soul Elder would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"
"I guess after finishing that task, he went to take care of something else!"
"Um!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Clearly, none of them took this matter to heart.
after all.
The difference in strength between Three-Ring Soul Elder and Five-Ring Soul King is simply too great!
Moreover, the Strength Clan specializes in cultivating strength.
Although Tai Jian is only level 55, with his Great Strength Gorilla Martial Soul, he has the ability to fight even against ordinary high-level Soul King!
How much effort would it take to deal with a Soul Elder?
However.
Tai Tan, seated in the main seat, remained silent throughout.
He frowned slightly, as if he felt something was amiss.
After all, this incident was not honorable.
He wouldn't have been willing to get involved if the offer hadn't been so generous.
Moreover, it is said that Xiao Xuan has a close relationship with Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
What if things get exposed...
Thinking about this...
Tai Tan was just about to say a few words of advice.
But just then!
boom!!!
An extremely terrifying pressure of Soul Power suddenly descended from the sky!
In an instant!
The entire mansion of the Strength Clan seemed to be shrouded in an invisible force!
Immediately afterwards!
A furious, aged voice suddenly boomed across the mansion!
"A member of the Strength Clan!"
"All of you, get out here!!!"
Boom!
The sound was as loud as thunder, instantly spreading throughout the entire mansion!
The smiles on the faces of the elders who had been chatting and laughing suddenly froze!
Who goes there?!
"How dare you!"
"How dare you run wild in my Strength Clan?!"
Several people suddenly stood up!
However.
Before they could even make a move...
Tai Tan, sitting in the main seat, suddenly changed his expression drastically!
"Etc!"
"That voice..."
The next second!
He suddenly stood up from his seat!
His eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty!
" Poison Douluo?!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing those three words...
The expressions of the elders present immediately changed drastically!
Poison Douluo Dugu Bo?!
That's a genuine Titled Douluo!
Moreover, he's Titled Douluo known for his poison!
Why is this person suddenly showing up at our door all of a sudden?
"Quick!"
Tai Tan, without thinking twice, immediately shouted in a deep voice:
"Come with me to greet them!"
That's all.
He was the first to walk out of the council hall!
Seeing this, several elders quickly followed.
at the same time.
Above the mansion of the Strength Clan.
Dugu Bo was suspended in mid-air.
His body was enveloped in a slow surge of emerald green Soul Power, and the terrifying pressure of Titled Douluo was undisguisedly directed at those below!
And beside him was Xiao Xuan!
As for Tai Jian's body, Dugu Bo casually picked it up in his hand.
at this time.
Hearing the commotion, members of the Strength Clan rushed out from all directions.
They all looked up at the figure in mid-air, their faces filled with astonishment and doubt.
Who is it?
"How dare you trespass on the Strength Clan?"
"Etc!"
"That... that's Poison Douluo, isn't it?!"
"Hiss!"
" Titled Douluo?!"
In an instant.
The entire Strength Clan was thrown into chaos!
But soon...
Accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps.
Tai Tan then hurriedly emerged from the council hall with several elders.
When the figure in mid-air became clear.
Tai Tan's heart sank!
It really is Dugu Bo!
Moreover, judging from their aggressive demeanor, they clearly had ill intentions!
but.
Tai Tan, after all, was a man who had seen the world.
After a brief moment of surprise, he quickly bowed and greeted them.
"So it's Lord Poison Douluo!"
"I, Tai Tan, greet Your Majesty!"
"But I wonder what brings Your Majesty here so late at night?"
Upon hearing this, the elders behind him also bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Poison Douluo!"
However.
Faced with the bows of the crowd, Dugu Bo merely gave a cold smile.
" Tai Tan!"
"You still have the nerve to ask me, an old man?"
Upon hearing this...
Tai Tan's heart tightened instantly!
"I wonder what Your Majesty means by these words?"
"Snort!"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly!
An even more terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from his body!
"You bastard, you member of the Strength Clan!"
"I never expected you to be so bold!"
"How dare you send someone to assassinate my young friend Xiao Xuan!"
"How?"
Do you perhaps think that I, Dugu Bo, am someone to be bullied?!
boom!
The words had barely left his mouth!
The entire mansion erupted in an uproar!
What?!
Assassinate Xiao Xuan?!
Especially the elders behind Tai Tan.
Upon hearing this, his expression instantly changed!
not good!
Has something happened to Tai Jian?!
Thinking about this...
The group involuntarily exchanged glances.
A flicker of panic crossed their eyes!
but.
The Tai Tan were, after all, the leaders of their race.
Although she was equally shocked, she forced herself to remain calm.
"Your Majesty!"
Is there some misunderstanding here?
Tai Tan quickly bowed and explained.
"Although my Strength Clan has declined in recent years, we would never stoop to such a thing!"
"Moreover, Your Majesty's reputation is renowned far and wide; how could I dare to offend you?"
"In my opinion, there's probably more to this than meets the eye!"
"I implore Your Majesty to investigate!"
Upon hearing this...
Dugu Bo immediately sneered.
"Misunderstand?"
"Hahaha!"
"What a misunderstanding!"
As he spoke.
Dugu Bo's gaze swept coldly over the crowd below.
" Tai Tan!"
Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?!
"Since you say it's a misunderstanding, then I'd like to ask..."
Before the words were even finished!
Dugu Bo suddenly swung his arm!
Whoosh!
A dark shadow suddenly whistled down from mid-air!
Bang!!!
A dull, loud bang followed!
A blood-soaked corpse crashed heavily in front of Tai Tan and the others!
A cloud of dust was instantly kicked up!
Everyone instinctively looked down.
The next second!
The faces of the elders turned deathly pale instantly!
Because they can see it clearly!
The corpse lying on the ground...
It was none other than Tai Jian, who had been missing for so long!
"Thai... Tai Jian?!"
An elder cried out in alarm!
Tai Tan's pupils constricted sharply, and he froze on the spot!
However.
Just then...
In mid-air, Dugu Bo's mocking voice slowly rang out again.
"Snort!"
"It wasn't done by your Strength Clan?"
"Then I shall ask..."
Who is this?!
