"If Miss Dugu is unwilling, then I will have no choice but to resort to some means. Even if I am blamed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Mr. Dugu Bo afterward, I will have no regrets in order to save my son!"
"Of course, if Miss Dugu is willing to hand over the antidote, then everything is negotiable."
After hearing this, Dugu Yan thought for a moment, then handed the porcelain bottle containing the antidote to the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison to Yu Tianheng, but instead of handing it over, she gave it to him.
" Tian Heng, I'm giving you the antidote. You make the choice."
Yu Tianheng took the antidote, held it in his palm, then stepped forward and stood before Duke Pei Ye of the Blood Moon Duke: "You think you can get me to hand over the antidote just because you said a few meaningless words? There's no such thing as a simple matter in this world. The reason you're doing this is only because you're wary of the powerful backers behind us. If we were just ordinary people, you would probably have sent someone to capture us long ago."
"Torturing him in every way, to avenge him!"
"We won't let this go so easily!"
Ultimately, you don't think your son did anything wrong; he was just unlucky and ran into a brick wall this time!
Pei Ye remained silent for a moment, then asked, "So what do you want?"
Yu Tian, "It's very simple. The Pei Clan will publicly apologize to Dugu Yan in front of everyone and make compensation. After that, I will hand over the antidote."
"Apologize publicly to her? Yu Tianheng, don't think you can flaunt your status in front of me just because you're from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. In the end, you're just a junior. I'm only giving you face by speaking kindly to your grandfather; don't push your luck!"
"If you know what's good for you, hand over the antidote right now, or don't blame me for getting angry!"
Pei Ye said indignantly.
"You can give it a try!" Yu Tianheng replied.
Just as Yu Tianheng and Pei Ye were exchanging words.
Pei Han, who had remained silent until now, made a decisive move. Crimson mist suddenly rose around him, and the phantom of the Blood Wolf Martial Soul appeared behind him, its sharp fangs gleaming with an eerie red light.
The next moment, Pei Han transformed into a blood-red afterimage, moving at incredible speed, instantly appearing behind Dugu Yan. With his Martial Soul Possession, his right hand transformed into a wolf claw, locking onto the girl's neck.
Yu Tianheng was furious, his palm crackling with Thunder. He never expected Pei Han to be so unethical, launching a sneak attack.
It seems I underestimated the shamelessness of these nobles.
" Yu Tianheng, you'd better not make a move." Pei Han licked his lips, threatening, "If you dare to make any rash moves, I'll snap her throat."
Dugu Yan's face turned deathly pale as she struggled desperately, but Pei Han tightened his grip even more. Yu Tianheng's muscles tensed, and lightning surged from his palms. He wanted to intervene, but he was worried about hurting Dugu Yan.
"Hand over the antidote!" Pei Han grinned maliciously, the claws of his Blood Wolf Martial Soul waving in front of Dugu Yan. "Otherwise, I'll make her bleed on the spot right now!" The atmosphere in the banquet hall froze instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two locked in a stalemate, waiting for Yu Tianheng to make a decision.
Yu Tianheng said, "I advise you to think this through carefully. The grandfather of the person in your hands is Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. If you hurt his granddaughter, he will definitely kill you!"
Aren't you afraid of dying?
"Enough with the nonsense, hand over the antidote now."
Yu Tianheng had no choice but to give the antidote to Pei Han, as Dugu Yan was undoubtedly more important than the mere antidote.
Pei Han took the antidote, pushed Dugu Yan away, and then quickly went to Pei Xiu and fed him the antidote.
Pei Xiu woke up quickly after taking the medicine, but he was still weak.
Pei Han helped Pei Xiu up. After standing up, Pei Xiu looked at Dugu Yan, who was being supported by Yu Tianheng, and said with a ferocious expression, "Brother, it was her, it was this bitch who poisoned me. I kindly invited her to dance, but I didn't expect this bitch to go crazy and instinctively poison me."
"Thankfully, you were there, brother, that I was lucky enough to escape with my life!"
"Brother, please, capture her, then tear this damned bitch to pieces, let her taste the agony of wishing she were dead!"
"Shut up!" Pei Han shouted angrily.
Pei Xiu stood there stunned, wondering why his older brother was being so harsh with him. Hadn't his brother always been the one who doted on him the most?
Pei Han whispered in a voice only Pei Xiu could hear, "These two have powerful backgrounds; our Pei Clan can't afford to offend them. Let's talk at home."
Pei Xiu was shocked. He never expected that there would be someone in this world that even the Pei Clan couldn't afford to offend. However, since his elder brother had said so, he could only swallow his anger.
Just as Pei Han was helping Pei Xiu leave, a shout came from behind.
"Stop!"
The speaker was Yu Tianheng, who said coldly, "Young Master Pei, you think you can just walk away like this? Isn't that a bit too easy for you?"
Pei Han turned his head, his expression cold. " Yu Tianheng, now that the matter is resolved, neither you nor Miss Dugu Yan were injured, and my brother's poison has been cured, as the saying goes, it's better to resolve enmity than to let it fester. I think we should leave this matter here, otherwise it won't do you any good."
"Although you two have powerful backgrounds, my Blood Moon Duke's Mansion is not to be trifled with. It's not worth fighting over such a trivial matter, don't you think?"
Yu Tianheng nodded. "What you said makes sense. If it were just me alone, I could accept this outcome, but I shouldn't have taken Dugu Yan hostage as a threat."
" Dugu Yan is my lover, Yu Tianheng's lover. If you touch her, you have crossed my line."
"Also, I'm the kind of person who can't stand being threatened."
"If I don't do something today, who will respect me, Yu Tianheng, in the future? What right will I have to lead the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"You want to leave today? Fine, but first, fight me. That way, you can vent your anger, and I can show you my stance!"
" Pei Han, do you dare or not?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Han suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, causing the candlelight in the hall to flicker. He sneered, " Yu Tianheng, have you lost your mind? Can't you see my cultivation level? A Five-Ring Soul King, while you are merely Four-Ring Soul Ancestor. What does this battle, with such a disparity in strength, prove?"
Yu Tianheng remained unmoved. His dark robes fluttered in the surging Soul Power as he spoke, " Soul Power Level is never the sole criterion for victory. Today, I challenge this Five-Ring Soul King with my Four-Ring cultivation to show everyone that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan fears no threat whatsoever. Of course, if Young Master Pei dares not accept, he may refuse." As his words fell, dragon shadows appeared around him, and lightning blasted spiderweb-like cracks into the ground.
"Whether to fight or retreat, Young Master Pei, the choice is yours!"
Pei Han's lips curled up. "Since things have come to this point, how can I not fight?"
"But I have one more question before that."
