Pei Ye bowed to Xue Qinghe, "I lost my composure because of my son's injury, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Xue Qinghe smiled and waved her hand, "It's alright. In fact, this banquet was hosted by me. If anything goes wrong, I will give you an explanation."
Pei Ye nodded and looked at the young man beside him. " Pei Han, hurry down and check on your brother."
The young man nodded, then immediately leaped to the first floor and ran quickly to Pei Xiu.
Upon seeing Pei Xiu curled up in a ball amidst the mess, his pupils suddenly contracted. At that moment, his Pei Xiu was foaming at the mouth, with blood mixed in with the foam. The dark purple poisonous patterns spreading across his neck were terrifying like a spider web, and his twitching fingertips drew several bloody marks on the ground.
He was on the verge of death.
He immediately flew into a rage. "Who dares to poison my brother? Are they tired of living?!"
Suddenly, Pei Han remembered that the Crown Prince's guards had reported a conflict with a woman named Dugu Yan. He figured that the poisoning was also Dugu Yan's doing, so he immediately turned the blame on Dugu Yan.
At this moment, Dugu Yan was isolated. Everyone retreated several feet, giving the center area to Dugu Yan. Therefore, Pei Han found Dugu Yan's location at a glance.
Yu Tianheng watched quietly from the crowd. If he was right, a conflict was likely to break out. If it couldn't be resolved, he would have to step in. At that time, he could protect Dugu Yan and increase her favor, and he could also attract Xue Qinghe, let him see his strength, and thus recruit him. It would be a win-win situation.
Therefore, Yu Tianheng did not appear.
On the field, Pei Han stared intently at Dugu Yan, his eyes bloodshot, his knuckles white from the force, and veins bulging beneath his black robe. " Dugu Yan, my brother has done you no wrong, why did you do this to him?"
Dugu Yan sneered. Despite her noble birth, she showed no fear in the face of this situation. "We have no grudge against each other. Your younger brother, Pei Xiu, has been pestering me relentlessly. I have already refused him, but he still speaks frivolously. That's bad enough, but he even plotted against me. So, I took action to teach him a lesson and let him know that I am not someone he can mess with."
Upon hearing this, Pei Han's blood-red pupils flickered. He knew his younger brother's character and knew that the situation was probably as the woman had described.
But so what? Even if his brother is really wrong, it's not up to an outsider to lecture him.
"Hand over the antidote, or don't blame me for being impolite," Pei Han threatened loudly.
Dugu Yan snorted coldly, unmoved by Pei Han's threat. "Who do you think you are, to demand the antidote just because you say so? What gives you the right?"
"Because I have the Pei Clan and the Blood Moon Duke's Mansion standing behind me!"
" Dugu Yan, if you know what's good for you, hand over the antidote right now, and then kowtow and apologize to my brother. Otherwise, I'll make sure you never leave this palace!" Pei Han said angrily, pointing at Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan was furious. From childhood to adulthood, who had ever dared to speak to her like that? Did they really think she was easy to bully?
"Come and try if you dare! If you mess with me, believe me, I'll have my grandfather wipe out your entire family!"
"Shut up! You filthy bitch, since you're so ungrateful, then I'll just have to capture you first!" As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Han's aura surged violently, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. With a deafening wolf howl, blood mist surged behind him, and the phantom of a three-zhang-tall blood-red giant wolf suddenly appeared, its white fangs gleaming coldly, and its scarlet beast eyes surging with killing intent.
"Boom!" Five Soul Ring shot into the sky from beneath his feet, their yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black lights intertwining to form a dazzling yet dangerous halo.
Five-Ring Soul King!
Pei Han looks to be no more than thirty years old, but unexpectedly he is a Soul King level expert.
Pei Han's muscles tensed, and the phantom of a wolf claw materialized in his right hand, distorting the air. "Today, I will make you pay the price!" he roared, his figure shooting like an arrow, leaving a trail of blood and gore as the giant Blood Wolf slammed down on Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan is currently only Three-Soul Soul Master, and her Soul Power Level is at least a dozen levels lower than Pei Han's. Once locked on by his Soul Power, she has no way to escape.
Although Pei Han did not use any Soul Skill in this grab, if he had hit Dugu Yan, she would have been seriously injured without a doubt!
A foul wind carrying the phantom of Blood Wolf rushed towards her, causing Dugu Yan's pupils to shrink sharply, and the silver ornaments in her hair trembled and jingled.
At the critical moment, an indigo afterimage tore through the air, and Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul suddenly appeared. His right hand transformed into a thick dragon claw, wrapped with the power of lightning, and collided with Pei Han's Blood Wolf Giant Claw!
"Boom!"
The lightning and the crimson light collided and vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea. Pei Han was thrown back three steps by the shock, his black boots carving two deep grooves in the blue bricks, while Yu Tianheng remained as steady as Mount Tai, his dragon-scale-covered arms not even raising a speck of dust.
He stepped aside to shield the still-shaken Dugu Yan behind him, a mocking smile playing on his lips, " The Pei Clan is quite arrogant, daring only to lay a hand on a woman. How shameless!"
" Tian Heng..." Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianheng's back, and a joyful surprise bloomed in her eyes like a wildfire.
As she gazed at Yu Tianheng's hair fluttering in the air currents, and at the electric scales swirling on his dragon claws, the overwhelming emotion in her chest almost burst from her throat.
At this moment, the power and reliability surrounding the other person completely calmed her panicked heartbeat, turning it into a thunderous shock and admiration.
After defeating Pei Han, Yu Tianheng pulled Dugu Yan behind him and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. You don't need to worry."
Dugu Yan immediately transformed into a demure young woman, nodding and humming in agreement, then obediently hiding behind Yu Tianheng.
Across from him, Pei Han, who had stopped in his tracks, stared directly at Yu Tianheng, who was still engrossed in his attack, and demanded, "Who are you? How dare you interfere in the Pei Clan's affairs!"
Yu Tianheng stated directly, " The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianheng!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Han, who was still furious, paused. He hadn't expected the person who made the move to be Yu Tianheng, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The name sounded familiar. After a moment of stunned silence, Pei Han quickly recalled Yu Tianheng's background.
One of the most outstanding twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in this generation, even more extraordinary than his brother Yu Tianxin. He is currently studying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and has already reached the level of Four-Ring Soul Master at the young age of 15. He is a peerless genius who appears only once in a century in the Soul Master World. If that were all, it would be fine.
More importantly, he is the young patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, with a Titled Douluo and a major sect standing behind him.
Even the Blood Moon Duke's Mansion cannot afford to offend them.
With this thought in mind, Pei Han quickly calmed down and bowed respectfully.
"So it's Young Clan Leader Yu. I am Pei Han, the eldest son of Blood Moon Duke. I have long admired your name. I also studied at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so I should address you as my junior."
