Would Dugu Bo dare to refuse?
The answer, of course, was impossible.
Facing Qian Daoliu, even if Dugu Bo had a hundred times more courage, he wouldn't dare say "no."
But he thought of a compromise.
"Senior, I still have many family members here, and I can't leave immediately. Please give me a few days, and I will move to Spirit City with my family."
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu squinted his eyes, which sent chills down Dugu Bo's spine and even made him wet his pants.
After a while, Qian Daoliu spoke.
"Tomorrow."
Then, he stood up and left.
After Qian Daoliu left, Dugu Bo collapsed to the ground, his clothes soaked in cold sweat.
The pressure from a level 99 Peerless Douluo was something he couldn't bear at all.
When he thought about the deadline Qian Daoliu had given him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Initially, he wanted to wait for Yu Yuanzhen and the others to return, then rally the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to try to change Qian Daoliu's mind.
However, with only one day left, it was too late. Even if Yu Yuanzhen and the others returned immediately after the match, they wouldn't make it back in time.
Unless they flew.
But what he didn't expect was that Yu Xiaowei and the others really did fly back! They only switched to a soul beast carriage when they were near Heaven Dou City. So when Dugu Bo saw Yu Xiaowei and the others, he was truly stunned.
However, when he saw the injured Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin, it felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.
He roughly understood why Yu Xiaowei and the others had returned so quickly.
At the same time, a big question mark appeared in his mind.
Who in the world could injure the famed Thunder Douluo and Sword Douluo like this?
"Oof, it's hard to explain. Senior Dugu, now's not the time to talk. Come with me."
Yu Xiaowei greeted Dugu Bo with a somber face and led him to the bedroom.
When the confused Dugu Bo saw Yu Tianheng and the others with blackened faces, his expression changed.
"What is this?"
As a poison expert, just one look and he immediately realized the uniqueness of this poison.
This new, highly toxic poison actually seemed to grow on its own, as if it were alive.
Though it grew slowly, it was unclear how long these people had been poisoned. Its initial toxicity, already extremely deadly, now rivaled even his own signature ice and fire poisons.
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up with excitement. He quickly drew some blood from each of their fingers, wrapped it in soul power, and dashed back to his laboratory like the wind.
Seeing his departing figure, Yu Xiaowei's worry lessened a little.
He hoped this Titled Douluo, known for his poison, could quickly develop an antidote.
However, Dugu Bo never left the house during this research. During this time, he only sent a message requesting Yu Xiaowei and the others to immediately bring the poisoned person to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to use its energy to suppress the poison first.
Just as Yu Xiaowei was preparing to do this with a heavy heart, an uninvited guest arrived.
When Qian Daoliu appeared, the entire Yu family felt as if they were facing a great enemy. The level-98 Golden Crocodile Douluo could already beat Yu Yuanzhen and the others into miserable conditions, so how terrifying would Qian Daoliu be, who was at least twice as strong?
"I came here just to find Dugu Bo."
That calm voice echoed through the room. It wasn't loud, yet it rang in everyone's ears like a giant bell. The stronger one's power, the more clearly they felt it.
Yu Xiaowei knew exactly why Qian Daoliu was looking for Dugu Bo. He stepped forward, looked into Qian Daoliu's eyes, and calmly said:
"Senior, do you really think the antidote Dugu Bo gave you can cure Qian Renxue's poison?"
"What did you say!"
Qian Daoliu's calm expression instantly turned fierce, and a cold murderous aura pressed down on Yu Xiaowei's shoulders.
The terrifying pressure nearly suffocated Yu Xiaowei, but he still shouted coldly, without fear:
"Qian Daoliu, kill me, and your granddaughter's poison will never be cured!"
"Go ahead and try!"
"See whether your Qian family's Angel God legacy is more important than my life."
That threat clearly worked. As soon as Yu Xiaowei finished speaking, the pressure on him suddenly lifted.
Qian Daoliu's face was dark. After a slight twitch, he grabbed Yu Xiaowei. Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin's faces changed dramatically, but before they could act, Qian Daoliu and Yu Xiaowei vanished.
After some time, the unconscious Yu Xiaowei opened his eyes groggily.
The sunlight was dazzling. He squinted and looked around.
He was now in a forest, very quiet, not even insect sounds. Judging by the sky, not much time had passed.
"How did you know Xiaoxue's identity?"
A cold voice came from the side.
Yu Xiaowei sat up, stretched his aching muscles, and saw Qian Daoliu looking impatient. He replied:
"The only super genius with innate soul power level 20 in the Qian family since the Angel God."
"Really? Senior Angel Douluo!"
Qian Daoliu's face didn't change, but his tone now carried anger.
"What I asked was: how do you know Xiaoxue's identity?"
"Qian Renxue was born after Bibi Dong was raped by your son. Your son even imprisoned your daughter-in-law in a secret chamber for over a year until she gave birth. Tsk tsk, your Qian family is really…"
"Shut up!!!"
Qian Daoliu was completely stunned. His murderous aura exploded in all directions. In an instant, frost formed on the nearby trees and flowers. The sudden drop in temperature made Yu Xiaowei shiver.
All of the Qian family's scandals had been laid bare by Yu Xiaowei.
And of this secret, only Qian Daoliu and one other person in all of Spirit Hall knew.
Qian Daoliu, furious and humiliated, roared in frustration:
"What is your relationship with Bibi Dong?"
"Why do you care? Just know your granddaughter's life is in my hands. You don't want her to follow your son's footsteps, do you?"
"You already know how the Rakshasa God grows. I don't need to tell you, do I?"
"She told you all this!!! That whore!!!"
After having his family's darkest secrets ripped open, Qian Daoliu raised his right hand high, about to kill Yu Xiaowei in one palm strike—but he hesitated and couldn't bring himself to do it.
He didn't dare gamble!
If Yu Xiaowei was telling the truth, and Dugu Bo's antidote was useless, then killing Yu Xiaowei meant Qian Renxue would surely die—and the Angel God legacy of the Qian family would be completely extinct.
It's important to understand: to inherit the Angel God's legacy, one must have innate level-20 soul power—a sign of divine recognition.
Since the disappearance of the previous Angel God, none of the Qian family had been qualified to inherit the godhood.
Qian Daoliu came closest, but his innate soul power was only level 19. No matter how hard he tried, he could only become High Priest—not a god.
In desperation, he hoped one descendant would qualify, like previous priests.
He knew Qian Xunji had raped Bibi Dong, and even supported the imprisonment of her—just to produce a hope for the Qian family.
After all, Qian Xunji's talent was mediocre. Without a talented wife, their descendants would be average too.
But Bibi Dong was the most talented soul master woman in Spirit Hall's history.
Twin top-tier martial souls, full innate soul power, and already a Soul Saint in her early 20s. Both Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji viewed her as the forbidden fruit of the Qian family.
So when Bibi Dong said she'd rather leave Spirit Hall than be with them, Qian Xunji went mad and used brutal means to force her to stay.
Qian Daoliu witnessed everything, and even knew Bibi Dong had consumed Qian Xunji's body and soul.
But he had no choice. At the time, Qian Renxue was still an infant, and the Qian family had no other heir. Plus, he felt the family owed Bibi Dong, so he supported her to become Pope.
Later, when Qian Renxue's martial soul awakened and tested innate level-20 power, Qian Daoliu invested everything in her. So no matter what Bibi Dong did—as long as it didn't harm Qian Renxue—he tolerated it.
But this secret, even Golden Crocodile didn't know. How did Yu Xiaowei find out?
And he even used it to threaten him!
Was Bibi Dong still worthy to be a mother? She let others abuse her daughter!
Qian Daoliu was furious. He looked at Yu Xiaowei, wanting to eat him alive.
But Yu Xiaowei had calmed down. He now knew Qian Daoliu wouldn't dare touch him.
So he sat back against a tree, smiled, and said:
"Haha, embarrassed rage? That's right, your daughter-in-law told me everything."
"Do you think she considers Qian Renxue her daughter? Haha. In her eyes, she's filth—worse than a dead rat in a sewer."
"Your daughter-in-law wants your Qian family wiped out. If not for the God Trials, she'd have killed you all already."
"But go ahead, try killing me."
"At worst, we both die. I don't care. What about your Qian family? Hehehe..."
Qian Daoliu's breathing quickened.
Now he understood why Dugu Bo poisoned Qian Renxue, why Yu Xiaowei dared poison her, and why he dared talk to him like this.
"Bibi Dong!!! You deserve to die!!!"
He roared inwardly, but remained outwardly calm.
Yu Xiaowei was right—he was no match for Bibi Dong. His indulgence had painful consequences.
Even though he knew she had relations with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family, he was helpless.
All the past doubts made sense—why Yue Guan asked for detoxification, why Qianjun Jiangmo clashed with Clear Sky Sect.
Because Yue Guan was Bibi Dong's and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus' man. They were performing a double act to attack their own worshippers.
Luckily, Golden Crocodile followed Qian Renxue this time. If it had been another worshipper, Yu Yuanzhen might have truly killed someone.
Qian Daoliu took several deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and gritted his teeth:
"Tell me your conditions."
"I want twenty soul guides to suppress the poison for Yue Guan. I'll surround Clear Sky Sect but not attack, cutting off their supplies. Then, your granddaughter must serve me one day a month. I'll give her the antidote monthly."
"Do you believe I won't fight to the death and kill you with one palm?"
"Try it. If I die, I'll take your granddaughter with me. In the future, the entire continent will belong to Bibi Dong and our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Your Qian family will be forgotten dust."
Yu Xiaowei's indifferent appearance made Qian Daoliu even more uncertain.
After a long hesitation, he gritted his teeth, pulled out 20 soul guide daggers, and injected them with Angel soul power.
He threw them at Yu Xiaowei. Under careful control, the daggers embedded around his body. One nearly pierced his little brother, making him break out in cold sweat.
"If I find you're lying, I swear not even a rat will survive in your sect!"
"Safe travels, senior."
With a cold snort, Qian Daoliu turned into light and disappeared instantly, as if unwilling to stay even a moment longer.
Once he was gone, Yu Xiaowei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, there was no such thing as soul searching in the Douluo Continent. Otherwise, he would have been caught.
He hoped that once Qian Daoliu returned, he would break with Bibi Dong, and peace would return.
After storing the daggers, Yu Xiaowei flew toward Heaven Dou City.
