Chapter 103: Chapter 103 - Want to capture Qian Renxue as a bedwarmer?
Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo.
They were the sixth and seventh worshipers of the Spirit Hall.
Their martial spirits were both Panlong Rods, and their spirit power levels were also at Rank 96.
Although they were ranked lowest among the Spirit Hall's worshipers, that didn't mean they were the weakest.
As rare brothers across the continent, they had trained together in the Spirit Hall since childhood and advanced to Title Douluo together. With over a hundred years of cooperation, their silent understanding of each other had reached a terrifying level.
Even if Qian Daoliu, at level 99, made a move, it would take effort to defeat the two of them.
If they attacked together, dealing with Dugu Bo would be easy.
The only concern was the three other Titled Douluos from the two sects.
After all, Dugu Bo's current identity was different. As a guest elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the Spirit Hall attempting to capture him was akin to slapping Yu Yuanzhen in the face.
Combined with the situation where the four Titled Douluos from three sects had previously surrounded him and Gui Mei, Yue Guan thought it would be too arrogant to simply capture someone. It could cause an incident.
However, Qianjun and Jiangmo both sneered at his opinion.
"When have we, in Spirit Hall, ever feared anyone? Only Chen Xin from those two sects is worth fearing—what are the others?"
Yue Guan looked bitter. He knew people in the Worship Hall were always arrogant, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.
There was an old saying: "There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names."
Yu Yuanzhen, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi—these four all had the highest titles in their respective schools.
Among them, the three combat-type spirit masters had spirit power levels of at least 95. With the assistance of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, Yue Guan felt Qianjun and Jiangmo wouldn't be able to withstand their combined assault.
And those two fools—did they not understand that a battle between Titled Douluos could easily spark a sect war?
Spirit Hall might not fear war, but the problem was that the Elder Hall under Bibi Dong and the Worship Hall under Qian Daoliu were currently at odds.
If a battle truly broke out, under whose name would Spirit Hall fight?
In the name of the Worship Hall?
Or in the name of the Elder Hall?
Thinking of the terrifying pressure from Bibi Dong the last time she got angry, Yue Guan couldn't help but shiver.
As Bibi Dong's confidant, Yue Guan knew her ambitions well.
If he caused a sect war and ruined her unification plan, she might literally tear him apart.
"My lords, although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sects may seem insignificant, they are backed by Ning Fengzhi."
"The boost ability of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda is terrifying. With its aid, Chen Xin's combat strength could approach level 97. At that point, even you two may find it difficult."
"Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen and Gu Rong are also level 95 Titled Douluos. If the three of them act together, capturing Dugu Bo alive would be extremely difficult."
Yue Guan advised earnestly. He was truly afraid these two idiots would charge in to capture someone outright.
Qianjun and Jiangmo looked at each other and nodded, then smiled and said,
"You make sense."
"Tsk tsk, such a simple truth—do you think we couldn't figure it out ourselves?"
Their inconsistent expressions and completely different tone made Yue Guan's heart sink.
Seeing this, Qianjun Douluo smiled.
"Alright, Ju-chan."
"Once we reach Heaven Dou City, you figure out a way to trick Dugu Bo."
"Best to lure him out of the city, so we don't draw attention from the two families."
Yue Guan nodded and agreed.
---
With the speed of a Titled Douluo, the three of them took only one day to cover nearly 3,000 kilometers from Spirit Hall to Heaven Dou City.
According to the plan, Yue Guan would first pretend to surrender and lure Dugu Bo out of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Then, he would bring him to an ambush point a hundred miles from the city, where Qianjun and Jiangmo would act to capture him.
Once everything was ready, Yue Guan adjusted his facial expressions to avoid looking suspicious and went to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
But when he saw Dugu Bo casually walking toward him, his face suddenly fell.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke with a high-pitched voice:
"Grandpa."
"Hey, my dear grandson, have you done what I asked?"
Dugu Bo's face was full of smiles, with an indescribably satisfied expression.
Yue Guan's forehead twitched with veins bulging, but since his life was in Dugu Bo's hands, he didn't dare refute and could only nod and bow humbly.
"It's done. I've brought them here."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Dugu Bo urged impatiently.
Then, the two hurriedly left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and headed east of Heaven Dou City.
Qianjun and Jiangmo were currently hiding in a cave.
While waiting for Yue Guan to bring Dugu Bo, the two sat together and chatted.
"Brother, do you think there's something wrong with Yue Guan?"
"I don't think so. We also tested him according to what the High Priest said."
Qianjun replied, slightly uncertain.
What Yue Guan didn't know was that before they set out, Qian Daoliu had spoken to Qianjun and Jiangmo.
His exact words:
If Dugu Bo hadn't joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, it would be understandable for Yue Guan to say he hadn't betrayed Spirit Hall.
After all, a lone man wouldn't need to collect intelligence for their Hall.
But now it was different. Dugu Bo had joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family.
And Yue Guan had returned to Spirit Hall unharmed after being poisoned by such a powerful toxin, so his loyalty was questionable.
Therefore, in addition to the task of capturing Dugu Bo alive, Qian Daoliu gave them an extra mission:
Test whether Yue Guan had betrayed them.
If not, then capture Dugu Bo alive and force him to detoxify Yue Guan. If Dugu Bo could be persuaded to surrender, he would be welcomed into Spirit Hall. If not, he would be killed.
If Yue Guan had betrayed them, then no words were needed—they would kill him along with Dugu Bo.
So on the way to Heaven Dou City, they deliberately expressed their disdain for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sects, just to gauge Yue Guan's reaction.
Yue Guan's response had satisfied them.
The boy still had Spirit Hall in mind and hadn't recklessly let them charge ahead.
But based on just one statement, they couldn't be certain Yue Guan hadn't betrayed them.
After thinking for a moment, Demon-Subduing Douluo offered a suggestion.
"Brother, when Dugu Bo arrives, let's not act first—let's hide. With our power, neither Yue Guan nor Dugu Bo will be able to detect us. Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, let them fight each other first."
"That's exactly what I was thinking. If Dugu Bo really tries to kill Yue Guan, we brothers will step in and capture him. I've got a treasure granted by the High Priest. Even if Yue Guan gets poisoned, it can keep him alive for a day."
As the brothers were discussing this, Dugu Bo and Yue Guan approached together.
From a distance, they heard Dugu Bo's loud voice:
"My dear grandson, you've done a great job this time."
"You don't know, that little slut dared to pretend to be the second lady last time and actually angered the clan leader."
"So the clan leader said, whoever captures that little slut and offers her to Xiao Wei as a bed-warmer will be rewarded with a soul bone."
"I never thought something this good would fall into my lap."
"Hahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Qianjun and Jiangmo's blood pressure skyrocketed.
Damn it! Wasn't that little slut Dugu Bo talking about Qian Renxue?!
That bastard! He actually wanted to capture the Spirit Hall's eldest daughter and offer her to Xiao Wei as a bed-warmer?!
