Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

After a long while, he lowered his head, shook his head with a wry smile.

"Old poisoner, I appreciate your kindness, but... I can't leave."

"Can't escape?" Dugu Bo frowned. "What do you mean?"

Just then, footsteps were heard from inside the house.

A middle-aged man strode out, followed by a gentle-looking woman.

The man bore a striking resemblance to Ye Renxin, and was indeed Ye Renxin's only son.

The woman was holding a little girl who looked about five or six years old.

The little girl had two pigtails, her face was fair and smooth, and her eyes were big and bright. She was looking curiously at the group of strangers in the yard.

Ye Lingling.

Ling Feng's gaze fell on the little girl.

In the original novel, she is the successor of the Nine-Heart Begonia, a quiet but kind-hearted girl.

At this moment, she was just a six-year-old child who had just awakened her martial spirit and was completely unaware of what was about to happen.

When Ye Renxin's son saw Dugu Bo, he was also taken aback, and then quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Junior Ye Zhengqing greets Senior Dugu. My father often mentions you, saying that if it weren't for your help back then, he would have..."

Dugu Bo waved his hand, interrupting him: "Enough nonsense. I'm asking you, what exactly is going on with the Heavenly Dou royal family forcing you?"

Ye Zhengqing sighed and looked at his father.

Ye Renxin said with a wry smile, "Old poisoner, see for yourself."

He turned around and pointed to the surroundings of the courtyard.

Dugu Bo followed his finger and saw that there were many figures standing vaguely outside the courtyard wall.

Those people, dressed in the robes of the royal shrine, had already completely surrounded the courtyard, even though they hadn't entered.

"They dared not force their way in, but they also wouldn't let this old man leave."

Ye Ren thought to himself, "If I dare to escape with Lingling, they will say that the Ye family has betrayed the country and arrest and kill all my distant relatives and those people who have benefited from the Ye family."

He closed his eyes, and two streams of tears flowed down his wrinkles.

"Old poisoner, I've saved countless lives in my life, but in the end, I couldn't even protect my own granddaughter."

"Tell me, how can I possibly have the face to go with you?"

Dugu Bo fell silent.

He turned around and looked at Qian Gu Xiao Ye.

Qian Gu Xiao Ye didn't speak, but just looked at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng stepped forward, walked up to Ye Renxin, and looked intently at the white-haired old man.

“Mr. Ye, I heard everything you just said.”

Ye Renxin looked at him, her eyes full of doubt.

Ling Feng continued, "You're worried that after you leave, your distant relatives will be held responsible, and the people who have received your kindness will be implicated, right?"

Ye Renxin nodded.

Ling Feng smiled slightly.

"What if the Heavenly Dou royal family has no opportunity to take their anger out on them at all?"

Ye Renxin was stunned.

Ling Feng didn't explain further, but simply looked at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo instantly understood, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

“Old man Ye, young Ling Feng is right. If the Heavenly Dou Royal Family dares to touch your people, I will make them pay with their lives.”

Ye Renxin stared at him in disbelief.

"Old poisoner, you..."

Dugu Bo said in a sinister tone, "I am now a level 93 Title Douluo, with the Martial Soul Azure Serpent Emperor."

"In this imperial city, no one can stop me. Do those two old Soul Douluos from the Heaven Dou Empire dare to fight me to the death?"

Ye Renxin was completely stunned.

Level 93? Titled Douluo?

The old poison master who almost died from poisoning twenty years ago is now a level 93 Title Douluo?

Qian Gu Xiao Ye also spoke.

"Elder Ye, I am the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, Qian Gu Xiao Ye."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority: "I can give you a promise."

"As long as your Ye family joins the Spirit Hall, from this day forward, all members of the Ye family will be under the protection of the Spirit Hall."

"Anyone who touches the Ye family is touching the Spirit Hall."

Ye Renxin trembled all over.

He glanced at Dugu Bo, then at Qian Gu Xiao Ye, then at Ling Feng, Qian Ren Xue, and Jin Chen.

After a long while, he suddenly knelt down.

"I...I am unworthy of such an honor..."

Dugu Bo grabbed him and shouted, "Old man Ye, what the hell are you kneeling for?"

"When you saved me back then, I didn't even kneel down to you!"

Ye Renxin was stunned by his scolding, and then tears streamed down her face.

"Old poisoner...you...you..."

Dugu Bo patted his shoulder, a rare gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Alright, enough with the 'you' and 'me' stuff. Bring your granddaughter over here so this old man can have a look at her."

Ye Renxin wiped away her tears and waved to her daughter-in-law.

The gentle woman carried the little girl over and gently placed her on the ground.

The little girl stood on the ground, looking timidly at the group of strangers.

But when she saw Dugu Bo's sinister face, she didn't cry. Instead, she tilted her head and looked at him curiously.

"Grandpa, who is this old man?"

She asked Ye Renxin in a low voice.

Ye Renxin squatted down and said softly, "Lingling, this is Grandpa's old friend. Quickly call him Grandpa Dugu."

Ye Lingling blinked her big eyes, then suddenly stretched out her little hand and waved at Dugu Bo.

"Hello, Grandpa Dugu."

Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment.

He looked at the little girl, at her clear, watery eyes, at her fearless expression, and suddenly smiled.

That smile even carried a hint of kindness.

"Good, good boy."

"I have a granddaughter named Yanyan, who is about your age. Why don't you come with Grandpa to visit her?"

He reached out and gently touched Ye Lingling's face.

"Great! Lingling doesn't have any friends yet!"

Just then, there was a noise outside the courtyard gate.

"This is it!"

"Quick! Surround it! Don't let anyone escape!"

Ling Feng frowned and turned to look at the courtyard gate.

Through the crack in the door, you could see that the outside was already crowded with people.

Those were the Soul Masters of the Royal Hall of Worship, numbering at least twenty or thirty, including many Soul Emperors and Soul Saints.

Ye Renxin's expression changed drastically.

"They're here! You old poisoner, you all run! I'll fight them to the death!"

Dugu Bo laughed.

That smile was chilling and sinister.

"Fight? With these useless trash?"

He took a step forward, and a dark green mist instantly emanated from his body.

Qian Gu Xiao Ye pressed down on his shoulder and shook his head slightly.

"Elder Dugu, there's no need for you to take action."

He looked at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng nodded and led Qian Renxue and Jin Chen toward the courtyard gate.

The courtyard gate opened, and the Soul Masters outside immediately tensed up.

The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes, who, judging from his attire, was probably a high-ranking member of the sacrificial hall.

He saw Ling Feng and sneered.

"You little brat, if you know what's good for you, hand over the Ye family members, and I might spare your lives."
