Chapter 548 A Shocking Change at the Heavenly Dou Palace: Enemy Shadows Appear
Dugu Bo's words shocked everyone in Flander's office except for Xiao Wu.
Was Emperor Xueye finished? At this moment, Tang San finally found the source of his unease. He finally understood why he felt such a sense of crisis. It was because of the atmosphere—the chilling atmosphere emanating from the soldiers he encountered in Heaven Dou City.
If Emperor Xue Ye, the ruler of one of the two great empires, were to pass away, the entire continent's situation would undergo a dramatic transformation. The alliance that the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire had painstakingly forged in secret would likely crumble. The most advantageous position would undoubtedly belong to the Spirit Hall. If the Heaven Dou Empire were to experience a change of emperor at such a crucial moment, the empire's focus would undoubtedly shift to the power struggle for imperial dominance. The campaign against the Spirit Hall, which had just begun, would immediately come to a halt.
However, although Tang San felt a sense of crisis, he quickly calmed down. "Old monster, what exactly happened? Didn't you tell me last time that the mixed poison that Emperor Xue Ye was infected with had been brought under control?"
Dugu Bo smiled bitterly, "I did manage to control him back then. I used the poison of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, employing a method of fighting poison with poison, to neutralize the mixed effects of the poisons as much as possible. Then I slowly regulated him with medicine. But who knew that Emperor Xueye, whose condition had stabilized, suddenly relapsed a month ago. And this time the attack was even more severe. I carefully examined his blood and found that the toxins contained in his blood were constantly changing, and changing at an extremely rapid pace. Although my Azure Phosphorous Serpent King poison could produce the effect of fighting poison with poison, every time the toxins in his body were neutralized by me, new deadly poisons would be produced in no time. And these newly produced deadly poisons were even more potent. I calculated carefully that when I used the method of fighting poison with poison to help Emperor Xueye temporarily suppress the poison for the seventh time, the toxins would immediately relapse and kill him, without even a chance to save him. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, I dare not use this method to help him suppress the toxins in his body anymore."
Two dazzling lights flashed in Tang San's eyes. "So, how many times have you used this method now?"
Dugu Bo's expression was grave. "It was used six times. Each time, the poison was forcibly neutralized temporarily just when he was about to collapse. But each time, the time it took for the poison to take effect in his body was also shortening."
Tang San took a deep breath. "If I'm not mistaken, the Snow Emperor wasn't poisoned by a simple mixed poison, but by a multi-component mixed poison. Mixed poisons are incredibly diverse; in fact, every expert in using poisons uses a different kind. And the most difficult to deal with is this multi-component mixed poison. To cure it, we must first find the source. But multi-component mixed poisons are extremely difficult to identify. Without finding the specific source, we can't prescribe the right medicine, and therefore can't help cure the poison. This time, we're in real trouble."
Dugu Bo said anxiously, "Alright, enough nonsense. Hurry up and come with me to the Heavenly Dou Empire's palace. If you can't do anything either, then the Heavenly Dou Empire is truly going to change."
Tang San seemed to suddenly remember something. "Wait a minute, let's find someone first and bring him into the palace. The more people who can identify mixed poisons and are skilled in using poisons, the better."
Dugu Bo asked in surprise, "What? You know someone who's skilled in using poison?"
Tang San said, "Let's go. I'll tell you on the way. Teacher, Dean Flander, we'll take our leave now. Fatty, you stay here and wait for Rongrong and Oscar. If the Heaven Dou Empire really changes, then our plans will probably have to change as well."
Tang San, along with Xiao Wu and Dugu Bo, left Shrek Academy. On their way back to the Tang Sect, Tang San briefly recounted the process of establishing the sect to Dugu Bo. The person he was going to find was, without a doubt, Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan. Although Tang San hadn't yet had a chance to discuss medicine in detail with this master of medicine, he knew from Yang Wudi's ability to distinguish between the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb and the Heartbreak Red Immortal Herb that Yang Wudi's theoretical knowledge of medicine surpassed even that of Poison Douluo, and was perhaps no less than his own.
Although Dugu Bo is the Poison Douluo, most of his poisons originate from his own martial soul, unlike Tang San and Yang Wudi who have some research on medicine.
Time was of the essence, and Ning Rongrong wasn't around. After returning to the Tang Sect and calling upon Yang Wudi, the three of them could only take Xiao Wu with them to the palace. With a Title Douluo by their side, Tang San didn't need to worry about Xiao Wu's safety. Even if something unexpected happened in the palace, the three of them were strong enough to protect Xiao Wu without any problem.
Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi had never met before. At first, Dugu Bo looked down on Yang Wudi. However, on the way to the palace, when he described the various symptoms of Emperor Xueye's poisoning, Yang Wudi asked several questions that hit the nail on the head. This made Dugu Bo no longer dare to underestimate this head of the Tang Clan's medicine hall.
As they approached the Heaven Dou Empire's palace, Dugu Bo said to Tang San, "Little San, no matter how things turn out this time, you have to count me in your Tang Sect. I don't have a place as the head of the Medicine Hall. I can at least hold the title of elder, right?"
Tang San chuckled and said, "Of course you can. Do you think I can stop you? But aren't you used to being free and unwilling to join any sect?"
Dugu Bo snorted, "Isn't this your sect? Are you going to point fingers at me?" He sighed slightly, "I do like freedom. But that was when I was young. Now I'm old. Advancing my martial spirit is almost impossible. I'll just use your Tang Sect to retire. All you have to do is provide for my food and drink. Call me if there's any exciting fighting going on."
Although Yang Wudi, who was with them, maintained his usual cold demeanor, he was secretly astonished. The way Tang San and Dugu Bo addressed each other revealed a deep bond between them. Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo, spoke to Tang San as if he were an equal, without any pretense or pretense. His directness was astonishing. Yang Wudi had spent his life cultivating and researching medicine, and naturally, he had long admired the Poison Douluo. In his mind, Dugu Bo should be like his own spirit, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor—a dangerous venomous snake. But now, he seemed to lack any of that chilling aura.
In truth, how could Yang Wudi know that his judgment wasn't wrong? It's just that Dugu Bo would undergo a significant change when he was with Tang San. Dugu Bo's personality and martial soul dictated his aloofness. And over the years, Tang San had been practically his only friend. Yes, a friend, a close confidant, not a junior.
Tang San smiled and said, "Why make it sound so tragic? If you're willing, I'll take care of you in your old age." He didn't say that the Tang Clan would take care of Dugu Bo because the Tang Clan wasn't solely under his control.
Dugu Bo laughed heartily, using his laughter to mask his emotional turmoil, but Yang Wudi, who was quietly observing from the side, still saw the emotion in his eyes.
Upon entering the palace, with Dugu Bo present, the four encountered no obstacles. As a guest minister of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, Dugu Bo wielded immense authority. He led Tang San and the others all the way to Emperor Xue Ye's bedchamber. Only there were they stopped.
Soldiers clad in full armor and wielding spears blocked the group's path.
Dugu Bo took out his unique guest minister's gold token. "Step aside. We have urgent business to discuss with His Majesty."
The captain of the soldiers coldly replied, "His Majesty is resting. His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the palace to disturb him. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy."
Dugu Bo was taken aback. "Can't you see the words on the gold medal in my hand?" Two large characters were engraved on the gold medal: "Personally Present." It symbolized that the holder was like the Snow Night Emperor himself, present at the emperor's presence.
The soldier captain's face was ashen, but he showed no intention of stepping aside.
Tang San's lips moved, and he telepathically asked Dugu Bo, "Have you seen these soldiers before?"
Dugu Bo shook his head. "They all look unfamiliar."
Tang San's heart skipped a beat. "This is probably bad news. If it's true, as we suspect, that Xue Qinghe poisoned Emperor Xueye, he probably already knows you came to find me. Xue Qinghe is Uncle Ning's disciple, and I'm sure he knows I'm skilled with poisons. He definitely wouldn't want to see you and me detoxify Emperor Xueye."
Dugu Bo frowned. "No way. No matter what, he's Xueye's son."
Tang San sneered, "If he still remembered that Emperor Xue Ye was his father, then he wouldn't have done it. Regardless of whether our guess is correct, we must save Emperor Xue Ye first. Otherwise, it's all meaningless."
Dugu Bo was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Tang San smiled slightly, not answering Dugu Bo, but stepping forward and taking out a gold token from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlight. "Senior Dugu's gold token won't work, then see if my gold token will be able to get in?"
Tang San took out the gold medal that Xue Qinghe had given him. It was slightly different in style from Dugu Bo's gold medal.
The soldier captain was stunned for a moment, looking at the gold token in Tang San's hand with some confusion. According to the orders he had received, Dugu Bo was absolutely not allowed to enter the palace, but the person who came with him was holding the Crown Prince's gold token. What was going on?
Tang San stepped forward and lowered his voice, saying, "Things have changed. The Crown Prince has changed his mind. Let us in quickly."
The gold medal was an order. Tang San held the Crown Prince's gold medal in his hand. Although the captain of the soldiers was puzzled, he did not dare to be negligent and raised his hand to signal the soldiers to let him pass.
The moment these soldiers moved, Tang San and Dugu Bo's expressions changed. They hadn't sensed it before, but the clear fluctuations of soul power emanating from their bodies as they moved startled them. This was no longer the Heaven Dou Empire's Imperial Guard; it was clearly a team composed of Soul Masters. There were a full fifty Soul Masters. And judging from the fluctuations of their soul power, their strength was no less than level fifty.
Tang San felt a pang of regret. He didn't regret coming here with Dugu Bo, but rather regret bringing Xiao Wu along. He was truly reluctant to put the now-human Xiao Wu back into his Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical pouch). But given the changing circumstances, he had no choice but to do so for Xiao Wu's safety.
Dugu Bo was clearly surprised that Tang San could produce such a gold medal, but at this moment he certainly wouldn't say anything. He quickly followed Yang Wudi and walked into the palace with Tang San.
Just then, a leisurely and pleasant male voice rang out, "So Tang Yin is actually Tang San. I was mistaken about him at Yuexuan. But I really can't figure out how Brother Tang San managed to change his appearance and temperament so completely."
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince." The surrounding soldiers knelt down in unison. Tang San, holding Xiao Wu's hand, slowly turned around.
Xue Qinghe, accompanied by only two people, walked slowly towards them. He was still as handsome as ever, and his sincere demeanor remained unchanged. He still gave off an approachable feeling. But for some reason, seeing him again, Tang San felt a chill run down his spine.
The two men following Xue Qinghe were both elderly. They were not dressed in royal attire, but rather in plain clothes. Although Tang San could not discern anything from these two men, he noticed that Poison Douluo beside him suddenly tensed up.
When would Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, undergo such a change? Tang San had already made a judgment about the two old men.
"Your Highness, greetings." Tang San bowed slightly to Xue Qinghe.
Xue Qinghe stopped five meters away from Tang San and his companions, sighed, and said, "To be honest, Brother Tang San, I haven't been doing well lately. Father is seriously ill, and the palace is beset by internal and external troubles. My uncle and fourth brother have even taken this opportunity to make some moves. It truly pains me! Brother Tang San, why did you decide to visit Father? Why didn't you just have someone inform me? I could have easily brought you in. Oh, by the way, Xue Ke has been talking about you. It's a pity you're nowhere to be found. Xue Ke is my only sister, and my most beloved sister. Tang San, you mustn't disappoint her!"
Tang San smiled calmly and said, "I appreciate Your Highness's kindness. But of all the waters in the world, I only need one. With Xiao Wu, I have no regrets in this life. Your Highness, Senior Dugu invited me here specifically to examine the poison His Majesty has been afflicted with. Would you allow us to go in first and treat His Majesty?"
Xue Qinghe's expression changed slightly, and he said calmly, "I won't trouble you with my father's affairs, my dear brother. You've finally managed to enter the palace, so why don't I host a dinner and we can have a proper talk?"
Tang San looked calmly at Xue Qinghe, then suddenly let out a long sigh, "It seems that those guarding this place are all from the Spirit Hall, Your Highness."
This time, Xue Qinghe's expression finally changed drastically. "Tang San, what nonsense are you talking about? This place is a forbidden area of the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace. How could there possibly be people from the Spirit Hall here?"
Tang San placed Xiao Wu's hand into the Ruyi Treasure Pouch, simultaneously channeling a surge of soul power into it. A flash of light, and Xiao Wu vanished. This was the Ruyi Treasure Pouch's greatest advantage: its ability to store life. Though reluctant, Tang San had no choice but to do so for Xiao Wu's safety.
"Your Highness, you have still revealed a flaw. The Heaven Dou Empire's royal family does have many Soul Masters. However, it's also possible that they possess Title Douluo-level powerhouses. But, given Emperor Xue Ye's status, how could Title Douluo-level powerhouses not be protecting him, but instead appearing beside you? And two at once at that! Are Title Douluos really that worthless? And those who can field two Title Douluos are extremely rare on the continent, and the Spirit Hall happens to be one of the most capable of doing so. That's the first point."
"Secondly, you replaced all the guards here with Soul Masters. Is it really to protect His Majesty? No, you're using them to defend against anyone getting close. Besides, the Soul Masters of the Imperial Family all train under my teacher. I just came from Shrek Academy. If the Heaven Dou Empire's Imperial Family needed to mobilize dozens of powerful Soul Masters back to the palace, why wouldn't my teacher tell me?"
"Third, Your Highness, you recognized me the moment you saw me. Although I possess the token you gave me, it's entirely possible I gave it to someone else. Moreover, you've seen me before. Logically, you should have asked, 'Tang Yin, where did you get this token?' instead of confidently calling out my name. Therefore, I can be certain that you have a close relationship with the Spirit Hall, which is why you obtained information about me from them and knew that Tang Yin is Tang San, rather than recognizing me because of the token in my hand."
"Having said all that, to put it simply, Your Highness, your presence here, with heavy guards surrounding the palace and an atmosphere of impending doom, is enough to prove that the poison His Majesty suffered is related to you. Even if it's just speculation, I think my judgment is pretty close to the truth. What I don't understand is, are you really so heartless as to harm your own father? The throne may be tempting, but he is, after all, your own father!"
When Tang San mentioned the second point, Xue Qinghe's face turned somewhat pale. However, after hearing him finish speaking, the Crown Prince's emotions calmed down.
"Clap clap clap..." Xue Qinghe clapped his hands. "Good, as expected of the soul of the Shrek Seven Devils. You can guess so much from just the slightest clues. But how can you prove your guess?"
Tang San smiled calmly. "It's simple. As long as you let me in, I can prove it once I see His Majesty. However, I think you won't let me in no matter what. His Majesty's poison has already taken effect. If he dies naturally from this poisoning, you can easily absolve yourself of any responsibility and ascend to the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire. Why would you allow us to get close to His Majesty and potentially disrupt your plans?"
"Tang San, you know what? You're even smarter than I thought." Xue Qinghe's eyes revealed a symbolic sincerity. "That's right, you guessed it. This time, I did indeed rely on the Spirit Hall's power. But I had no choice. My second uncle and fourth brother are eyeing the throne. If I didn't do this, after Father's death, there's a high chance of palace intrigue, which is definitely not what you want to see. Stay in the palace and help me. With your abilities, you'll surely become my right-hand man in the future. Money, beauties, status, even the spirit rings and spirit bones you need, I can give you. Your mind is even more terrifying than your strength. I need someone like you to help me build the Heaven Dou Empire."
Tang San laughed, but his smile was full of contempt. "Xue Qinghe, do you think I would follow a traitor who murders his father and emperor? You would even kill your own father to achieve your goals. What else wouldn't you do? I really doubt whether you are the biological son of Emperor Xue Ye."
Xue Qinghe wasn't angered by Tang San's words. Instead, her eyes showed regret. "What a pity. A genius like you is going to be stifled here. Tang San, you're so smart, don't you understand that you've revealed everything about me? There's no way I'll let you off the hook. Why are you doing this?"
Tang San smiled slightly and said calmly, "Your Highness, someone like you naturally wouldn't understand why I'm doing this. In truth, everyone has many beautiful and dirty things within them; you have them, and so do I. However, within a person's inner world, there are always two sovereigns governing them. These two sovereigns are called morality and conscience. Only through their discernment can a person decide whether or not to express what's within them. When both sovereigns within a person have died, then that person is no longer human, but rather like you—a beast—."
As soon as he finished speaking, an object suddenly flew out from behind Tang San, heading straight for the sky diagonally behind him. In an instant, it shone brightly red, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.
Xue Qinghe could no longer remain calm. "Make your move."
Tang San's voice rang in the ears of both Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi simultaneously, "Defend, hold your ground, await reinforcements." He had launched a specially crafted signal flare, naturally made using Tang Sect techniques. Although explosives didn't yet exist in this world, Tang San was intimately familiar with their composition. He had long since begun experimenting with creating simple gunpowder. This signal flare was his prototype. It was precisely because of this that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had escaped complete annihilation.
The two elders behind Xue Qinghe appeared simultaneously, rushing towards Tang San and his companions with lightning speed. One lunged directly at Dugu Bo, while the other attacked Tang San. In mid-air, a dazzling display of multicolored light, mixed with unparalleled surging soul power, suddenly erupted. Nine brilliant soul rings appeared on their bodies.
Even before Tang San sensed the change in Dugu Bo, he was certain that these two old men were Title Douluo level figures. Their origins were naturally from the Elder Hall of the Spirit Hall. Although it wasn't the first time he had faced attacks from Title Douluo level experts, Tang San still felt breathless when two Title Douluos simultaneously released their pressure.
The Spirit Hall Soul Masters disguised as Imperial Guards didn't participate in the attack; instead, they quickly surrounded Tang San and his companions. At a certain level, cooperating with lower-level Soul Masters can actually hinder one's performance. In Xue Qinghe's view, having these two Title Douluos was already sufficient. The remaining Soul Masters only needed to prevent Tang San and his companions from escaping.
This was Tang San's first time truly participating in a duel of this level, but his combat experience was far too rich. Facing two Title Douluo-level powerhouses, he wasn't qualified to be at the forefront. Moreover, as a control-type Soul Master, controlling the entire arena was his responsibility. Therefore, he chose to retreat, using Ghost Shadow Step to retreat three steps in an illusory manner.
The two Title Douluos simultaneously let out a soft "Eh," revealing their surprise. It's important to understand that Tang San's retreating three steps was no simple feat. Retreating under the pressure of two Title Douluos is not something everyone can do. If that overwhelming pressure, like a tidal wave, isn't directly withstood, one could easily be completely overwhelmed by it during the retreat, resulting in a significant reduction in strength.
However, Tang San was unaffected. As he retreated, he unleashed his Killing God Domain, a white light enveloping himself, Dugu Bo, and Yang Wudi simultaneously. He forcibly broke free from the pressure and then used Ghost Shadow Stalking to retreat further.
Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi were clearly more experienced in actual combat, so there was no need for any premonition. As soon as Tang San retreated, the two of them simultaneously felt the stimulation of the cold aura of the God of Slaughter Domain. Their spirits were greatly invigorated, and they both took a step to the side to block Tang San.
Although Tang San was retreating, he was doing more than his two comrades who were blocking his way. In addition to the boost to his side from the Killing God Domain, he had also activated all his mental power. Surrounded, as a control-type Soul Master, he had to keep track of the movements of every single enemy Soul Master.
At this moment, although there were many enemies surrounding them, the only ones who could truly pose a fatal threat were the two Title Douluos in front of them.
Under the influence of his mental energy, Tang San's vision seemed to expand to every corner of the place, and everything happening around him seemed to slow down. He concentrated almost 80% of his mental energy on the two Title Douluos.
Both of these titled Douluo were at least over eighty years old, and both were powerful figures that Tang San had never seen before.
The old man on the left was over two meters tall, his slender figure as straight and sharp as a javelin. After releasing his martial soul, his body didn't change much, but a serpent spear appeared in his hand. It was about twelve feet long, with a curved head and a forked point like a snake's tongue. The spear was entirely blue-purple, with two yellow, three purple, and four black rings, nine terrifying spirit rings encircling it. This titled Douluo gave the impression that only the serpent spear had lunged forward, and no one else was there.
That was no longer a simple fusion of man and spear, but a true integration. No deliberate effort was needed; the spear and the user had already achieved a terrifying level of harmony. Titled Douluo-level weapon spirit masters are often more terrifying than titled Douluo-level beast spirit masters. Wasn't the Clear Sky Sect the number one sect in the world precisely because of its weapon spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer?
The titled Douluo lunged straight at Dugu Bo, his spear not thrusting out but trailing diagonally at his side, leaving a long trail of afterimages behind him. It gave him an ethereal and unpredictable air.
The other Title Douluo was of medium build, neither too thin nor too fat, and showed no particular distinguishing features. However, after releasing his Martial Soul, his body swelled up like an inflating balloon, with countless purple spikes emerging from within and covering his entire body. His Soul Ring configuration was exactly the same as the previous Title Douluo. But his appearance was now far more ferocious; even his hands had turned into purple spikes, and his entire body was shrouded in this peculiar purple hue.
No one will look down on or despise him because of his ugliness. The greater the changes in the body after the release of the Martial Soul, the higher the compatibility between oneself and the Martial Soul, which means the higher the Martial Soul level.
This Soul Master's Martial Soul is the extremely rare porcupine, and he has even cultivated it to the Title Douluo level.
Tang San clearly remembered that Grandmaster had once told him about the existence of this special martial soul. The pufferfish is a sea creature. When it encounters danger, it inflates its body, using its sharp spines to protect itself. The abilities possessed by a pufferfish spirit master include potent poison, a hardened body, and the ability to project venomous spines. Grandmaster had described it as an extremely dangerous martial soul, one that must be handled with extreme caution.
Through a simple mental assessment, Tang San sensed that the martial soul levels of these two Title Douluos were both above Dugu Bo's. Their true combat strength was naturally also superior.
Dugu Bo was the first to move. He let out a low shout and released his martial soul. Azure scales covered his entire body, and his whole body, including his hair, turned into a layer of azure. The scales covering every part of his body also showed his strength at the Title Douluo level.
With a whoosh, a layer of misty green energy suddenly burst forth from Dugu Bo's body, bypassing Tang San and Yang Wudi as if it had eyes, and then spraying out in all directions.
Even Tang San didn't know, and even Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo, didn't recognize the two Title Douluos before him. Using poison to test them was Dugu Bo's usual fighting style. The sudden release of poison wasn't intended to harm the two Title Douluos. It was merely to test their resistance to poison and to slaughter the weaker Soul Masters around them. The Poison Douluo's deadly poison was not something those weaker Soul Masters could withstand.
However, a strange scene unfolded. The Serpent Spear Douluo, who was originally pouncing towards Dugu Bo, suddenly pushed off the ground with his serpent spear. His body, which was originally lunging forward, suddenly changed direction and flew out diagonally. When the serpent spear was raised again, it was now pointing at Yang Wudi.
Meanwhile, the other porcupine douluo, with his swollen body spikes pushing against the ground, passed by the snake spear douluo. He opened his mouth and inhaled, his third spirit ring shining brightly. The green poisonous mist released by Dugu Bo was swallowed into his belly like a whale sucking water, not a drop left.
After the terrifying poison entered his body, the Porcupine Douluo was enveloped in a bluish-green glow, and the dense purple spikes covering his body were tinged with a deep green. He had actually forced the poison released by Dugu Bo into his own spikes.
Xue Qinghe smiled sinisterly and said to Dugu Bo, "Poison Douluo, there's no need to try to resist. I specifically invited these two elders to deal with you. Your poison is useless against them."
Dugu Bo's expression changed slightly. While Xue Qinghe was speaking, the Serpent Spear Douluo had already arrived in front of Yang Wudi. The serpent spear was lightly extended, transforming into nine beams of light that enveloped Yang Wudi.
A black light, like a venomous dragon, lashed out. Yang Wudi advanced instead of retreating, his eyes blazing with light, and his explosive soul power, brimming with sharpness, was suddenly released. His opponent attacked nine points, but he only targeted one, completely disregarding his own defense. Black light surged on the Soul-Breaking Spear, and all his aura was concentrated in this one spear thrust, aiming straight for the Serpent Spear Douluo.
Xue Qinghe had already guessed what Dugu Bo was going to do when he left the palace. To be more precise, he even had a general idea of Tang San's whereabouts. The information he possessed was even more than Tang San had anticipated. Xue Qinghe was even fully aware of Tang San's massacre of the Spirit Hall in Gengxin City.
It was precisely because Dugu Bo went to find Tang San that Xue Qinghe decided to launch his attack ahead of schedule. Although Dugu Bo's poison was potent, as Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had said, no Soul Master could claim to be invincible. This was due to the principle of Soul Counterplay. The two Title Douluos Xue Qinghe brought, the Porcupine Douluo, were specifically designed to counter Dugu Bo. Add to that another Title Douluo and a large number of intermediate Soul Masters, and surely they could handle Tang San and Dugu Bo together?
However, Xue Qinghe overlooked one thing: the existence of Yang Wudi, the strongest clan leader among the four clans.
