Douluo: Reincarnated As Dai Weisi

Chapter 40: A Tense Situation

These black-clad warriors were specially raised by Dai Pojun to prevent Titled Douluo from attacking the palace. Each warrior might not be individually powerful, but they were absolutely loyal to him and the royal family.

To the emperor, these warriors were willing to give their lives.

Dai Pojun maintained these warriors as a deterrent against Titled Douluo—to use as bargaining chips in negotiations. If negotiations failed, he'd be ready to die together with the enemy!

Killing a Titled Douluo—even at the cost of mutual destruction—was worth it.

"Old Poison, your spirit is far too dangerous. If you bear any ill intent, our Dai family might face annihilation. It's no wonder my son and daughter-in-law are so cautious…"

A voice came from the sky before the figure appeared. Upon hearing it, Dai Pojun and Zhu Yaqin were instantly relieved, joy blooming across their faces. They looked up quickly.

"Father is here!"

As soon as those words fell, a Netherworld White Tiger—over 20 meters long—descended from the sky. Its spirit aura was no weaker than Dugu Bo's Green Phosphorus Snake King!

This Netherworld White Tiger had a dark purple coat and wings on its back. It landed softly in the palace, locking its tiger eyes on Dugu Bo.

The faint pressure of its presence made every guard and death warrior tremble with fear. No one dared move a muscle. Cold sweat poured from many of their foreheads just from seeing the Netherworld White Tiger.

Even Dugu Bo, powerful as he was, furrowed his brows under the beast's invisible pressure.

"As expected of the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire," Dugu Bo remarked, "If I'm not mistaken, this Nether White Tiger has the strength of at least a Level 96 Titled Douluo. I'd guess you and your wife's spirit power has reached Level 89, yes?"

He gave a polite compliment first—after all, he was here to request something—and then continued.

"But I'm not here to fight. If I wanted to, I would've already activated my spirit and poisoned everything. Even if you and your wife worked together, you couldn't stop me. I'm here to meet someone, and I hope you both can introduce me."

"Oh?"

The same old voice echoed again. Then, the Nether White Tiger vanished into thin air, and two white-haired elders appeared before Dugu Bo.

Despite their age, they were in great shape. Their deep eyes held a power that could draw people in, like staring into an abyss.

Though they were white-haired, one could still imagine how outstanding they must've looked in their youth.

Seeing the Nether White Tiger vanish, Dugu Bo chuckled and greeted them, "Brother Tianxing, Miss Lingyun—long time no see. It seems you've been doing well these years. You've both reached the peak of Level 89. A title must be just within reach!"

The old man's name was Dai Tianxing, spirit: Evil-Eyed White Tiger—an 89th-level power-attack type Soul Douluo.

The elderly woman next to him was his wife, Zhu Lingyun, spirit: Nether Spirit Cat—an 89th-level agility-attack Soul Douluo.

They were of the same generation as Dugu Bo and now in their seventies. If their innate spirit power had been higher, they'd probably already be Titled Douluo.

Even so, their combined strength was enough to pressure even long-established super Douluo. None dared underestimate the Emperor and Empress Dowager of the Star Luo Empire.

Facing Dugu Bo's compliment, Dai Tianxing remained composed and spoke calmly, "Old Poison, you never come without reason. You've arrived at the Star Luo Empire—surely not just to chat with me, right?"

"Haha, as I said—I came to see someone. Coincidentally, that person belongs to your Dai family."

Dai Tianxing narrowed his eyes. "Oh? Who?"

Dugu Bo smiled faintly. "It's the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire—your grandson, Dai Weis."

"Weis?!"

Dai Tianxing immediately became alert. He took his wife Zhu Lingyun's hand and asked cautiously, "Old Poison, what do you want with my grandson?"

"Haha, Brother Tianxing, relax. I have no hostility toward your grandson. He gave my granddaughter some advice recently, and it made quite an impression. I simply want to speak with him."

Of course, Dugu Bo would not reveal that he had been poisoned and was seeking help.

Dai Tianxing was half-believing, half-doubting. He thought, With Old Poison's temperament, if he wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't have said all this—he'd have done it already. But what could he want with Weis?

Thinking that, Dai Tianxing turned to his son. "Pojun, go summon Weis."

"Father…" Dai Pojun glanced at Dugu Bo, clearly uncomfortable, and exchanged looks with Dai Tianxing.

Dai Tianxing shook his head, "Don't worry. If Old Poison dares lay a hand on my grandson, he will never leave the Star Luo Empire alive. Even if he flees, there will be no place for the Dugu family on the Douluo Continent!"

He wasn't just saying that to Pojun—but also warning Dugu Bo. And he meant every word.

If something happened to Dai Weis, the Star Luo Empire would send its iron cavalry to crush the Heaven Dou Empire. If Emperor Xue Ye wanted to survive, he'd have no choice but to hand over Dugu Bo.

And Spirit Hall? Dugu Bo's mortal enemy Juhuaguan was there. He'd never go crawling to him for help.

That's why Dai Tianxing was confident: if Dugu Bo crossed the line, he'd have no place left to go.

"…Understood."

Seeing his father so resolved, Dai Pojun immediately ordered someone to summon Dai Weis. But news came back: Dai Weis was not in the palace—he had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Helpless, he replied, "Apologies, Your Majesty Poison Douluo—my son isn't in the palace. He's gone to the Star Dou Great Forest. If you're not in a rush, please stay in Star Luo a few days until he returns."

Dugu Bo nodded. He was indeed not in a rush. "Very well. I'll remain in Star Luo for a while."

"Someone, prepare a room for His Majesty!"

"Thank you for your hospitality," Dugu Bo said, and followed a servant to his room.

After he left, Dai Pojun finally let out a long sigh. Without Dai Tianxing and Zhu Lingyun, even the couple's Nether White Tiger Spirit Fusion Skill might not be able to deal with Dugu Bo.

Zhu Yaqin asked anxiously, "Husband, why does Dugu Bo want to see our son? What if Weis offends him out there?"

"Don't panic, Yaqin," said Zhu Lingyun gently, patting her daughter-in-law's shoulder. "We understand Dugu Bo's personality. If he came for revenge, he wouldn't waste words."

"Mother, that puts my heart at ease."

"But we still need to investigate. Since Weis isn't here, summon Zhuyun—she may know something."

"Got it, Mother." Dai Pojun quickly sent for Zhu Zhuyun.

Zhu Zhuyun arrived at the palace with a confused look. Upon learning that Dugu Bo had come, she was shocked and immediately recounted how Dai Weis had defeated Dugu Yan and the other seven.

After hearing this, Dai Pojun relaxed—it was merely a standard exchange, nothing serious. Clearly, Dugu Bo wasn't here to cause trouble for Dai Weis.
