Douluo: Wuhun Bone Dragon, I am the Undead Scourge

Chapter 124 The Elephant Armor Sect Master's Wrath

Hu Yanzhen slammed his hand on the table, the sandalwood surface emitting a dull hum: "What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disorderly? Can't you see I'm discussing matters with His Holiness the Bishop?"

Salas ran his fingertips over the teacup, the tea reflecting an amber hue on the cup's surface.

Hu Yanzhen immediately put on a beaming smile, clasped his hands and bowed: "You've made a fool of yourself, Bishop. These men under your command just don't know the rules."

"Sect Leader Huyan, please don't worry about it. Sect affairs are the most important thing."

Salas gently placed the wine glass on the table, his hands clasped together beneath his dark purple robe, revealing the six-winged angel emblem on his cuffs.

"Tell me, what exactly happened to Ali?"

Hu Yanzhen held the teacup and took a slow, gentle sip.

"Sect Master, Ali... he's been poisoned by the Azure Scale Serpent!"

"Snapped!"

The teacup shattered with a crack, and shards of porcelain splashed onto the blue bricks.

Like an enraged lion, Huyan Zhen suddenly grabbed the messenger's collar: "Say it again! Poisoned by the Azure Scale Serpent? How could Ali have been poisoned? Speak now!"

His cloudy eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and the veins on his neck bulged like gnarled, withered vines.

Even Salas, who was standing nearby, turned pale upon hearing this.

The venom of the Jade Scale Snake is exclusive to the Dugu family.

In the entire Heaven Dou City, besides that person, who else possesses the Azure Scale Serpent Venom?
The man quickly recounted everything that had just happened to Huyan Zhen from beginning to end.

After hearing this, the atmosphere at the scene plummeted to freezing point.

Seeing that Huyan Zhen's face was ashen and he didn't say a word, the man was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.

Only after Salas waved him away did the man breathe a sigh of relief and quickly make his escape.

"Your Excellency!" Hu Yanzhen suddenly knelt down, his aged back hunched over like a bow in the candlelight: "Alisun is my only bloodline! As long as you are willing to help, the Elephant Armor Sect will henceforth follow the lead of the Spirit Hall!"

Salas stroked his goatee, his mind calculating the gains and losses.

Offending Dugu Bo for the sake of Huyan Zhen is obviously not worth it, but if it's the entire Elephant Armor Sect, then it's well worth it.

After all, the Diamond Mammoth is a top-tier defensive martial soul.

Then, Salas said in a deep voice, "I will send a secret letter to His Holiness the Pope, asking His Holiness Chrysanthemum Douluo to come and help. You can go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy first and have someone cure your grandson's poison. I will also go there later."

"As for Dugu Bo, if he really dares to disrespect us... then Chrysanthemum Douluo will come down and deal with him."

Hu Yanzhen was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly said, "Thank you, Your Excellency Bishop."

He hadn't taken more than a few steps when Salas called out to him, "Wait!"

"Your Excellency, is there anything else you wish to instruct me to do?"

Salas gave him a deep look with a gloomy face: "Watch your step. If you go too far, I can't protect you either."

His original intention was to let Huyan Zhen know when to stop and not offend Dugu Bo too much.

After all, he's a Title Douluo, and a poison-attribute one at that. While he might not be that strong in one-on-one combat, in a group battle, he could wipe out your entire team, leaving only Title Douluos...

It's really not an exaggeration at all.

However, Hu Yanzhen replied with a look of delight, "Thank you, Bishop. Don't worry, I will do as you say."

Clearly, he misunderstood Salas's meaning.

He thought Salas was there to support him and let him do whatever he wanted.

After all, the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the two great empires is already quite delicate; otherwise, the Spirit Hall wouldn't be trying to win over the Lower Four Sects.

"You dare to hurt my Sun Ali? I'll make you pay the price!"

...The glass lanterns on Qibao Street illuminated the street with dazzling lights.

Gu Feng stared at the layers upon layers of stockings in the shopping bag—black, white, pink, gradient-patterned stockings embroidered with twin lotus blossoms, and purple ones adorned with silver threads—and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "Sister Yan Yan, these are enough to open a sock shop, aren't they?"

Dugu Yan suddenly turned around, her slender, pale fingertips poking his chest with a cool touch. Her silvery laughter, tinged with a faint fragrance, rang out: "Tsk, has your blockhead finally seen the light? These are all..."

Before she could finish speaking, she noticed a suspicious redness at the tip of the boy's ear and deliberately dragged out the last syllable: "Guess?"

Gu Feng scoffed dismissively: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? You're just kidding."

Dugu Yan leaned against the carved pillar, her eyes curving into sly crescents: "Oh, my brat, then tell me, what do you know?"

In her experienced eyes, Gu Feng was just being stubborn; he actually knew nothing.

I reckon she'll be the one to teach him how to climb Duang Lang in the future.

The next second, Gu Feng's warm breath brushed against her ear as he leaned closer, startling Dugu Yan so much that her earlobes trembled slightly.

Upon hearing those whispered words, Dugu Yan's fair face instantly flushed crimson. Clutching her silk handkerchief, she slammed it hard against his shoulder: "You...you bastard! How could you say such things?! Absolutely not!"

"I told you not to underestimate people."

Gu Feng spread his hands, a sly smile hidden in his eyes.

Suddenly, he was grabbed by the collar and met Dugu Yan's suddenly cold gaze—those phoenix eyes were now like ice, and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye appeared and disappeared with her trembling eyelashes.

She gritted her teeth and leaned closer, her warm breath brushing against his Adam's apple: "Remember! Your first time can only be with me."

Her slender fingers traced his waist, and Gu Feng suddenly shivered. Looking at her ambiguous smile, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Sister Yan Yan, there's something I have to tell you."

He suddenly lowered his voice, and in the instant Dugu Yan held her breath, he said, "Lingling is much gentler than you!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Feng took off running.

"Gu! Feng!"

"You little brat, you better not get caught by me! If I do, I'll make you pay!"

The crisp sound of tearing fabric came from behind. When Dugu Yan caught up, her embroidered shoes jingled with silver bells in her hair.

The two played and joked their way back to the academy.

The two had just stepped into the academy gates.

A student rushed up to the two and said, "Senior Gu Feng, Senior Dugu Yan, you two shouldn't come into the academy yet. Two Soul Douluos have come to the academy and are looking for you all over the world."

Contra?
Gu Feng was stunned. When did he offend two Soul Douluos again?

Dugu Yan frowned slightly and bit her lower lip: "Xiao Feng, don't go into the academy yet. Come with me to find my grandfather."

Gu Feng asked in surprise, "Wait, what exactly happened?"

Dugu Yan told him everything that happened below the arena when Gu Feng was fighting.

After listening, Gu Feng pondered for a moment, then suddenly tucked a stray hair behind his ear and said with a calm smile, "Sister Yan Yan, go find Elder Dugu. I'll hold things off at the academy for now."

Regardless of the circumstances, Dugu Yan stood up for herself.

Even if Dugu Yan didn't want to cure Huyan Li of the poison and offend the Death Elephant Armor Sect as a result, Gu Feng would still stand up for her.

"Nonsense!"

Dugu Yan suddenly grabbed his sleeve: "You know how strong my poison is. That guy might already be dead."

She wasn't afraid of Huyan Zhen, but mainly afraid that he would resort to desperate measures.

The only grandson was poisoned and his life was hanging by a thread, or even already dead. Under such circumstances, no one dared to gamble on whether the other party would do something that would make them live forever.
