Chapter 276: Chapter 150 Du Gu Bo Attacked_1
"Uncle, what happened to you?"
Yu Xiaogang spoke in a grave voice.
"Come over and we'll talk."
Yu Luomian beckoned Yu Xiaogang to come closer.
Before leaving the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen had specifically mentioned Yu Xiaogang to Yu Luomian.
He hoped Yu Luomian would forgive Yu Xiaogang's past mistakes on account of Yu Yuanzhen.
In the end, Yu Luomian agreed.
Even though he was utterly unwilling in his heart, he had no choice but to hold his nose and accept it.
"Uncle, how could a Soul Douluo like you fall so ill?"
"Cough, cough," Yu Luomian coughed violently, "This is not an illness, but a 'fire-like anxiety' attacking the heart."
"Fire-like anxiety?"
Yu Xiaogang thought of a possibility and felt a thump in his heart.
He faintly thought of Yu Yuanzhen, who had left the sect and not yet returne
"You came to ask about your elder brother, didn't you?" Yu Luomian had already seen through Yu Xiaogang's thoughts.
"Yes, my father has not returned, and I'm worri...."
Yu Xiaogang hesitated.
He couldn't continue, as it would seem as if he was cursing Yu Yuanzhen.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang bring up the matter, Yu Luomian's face went through several changes, finally he couldn't help but sigh, "I've become like this because of my elder brother."
"Your elder brother should be... gone."
What!
Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened in disbelief, "Uncle, what did you say?"
"I mean, your father, he's probably dead."
Yu Luomian sighed, "If it were not so, would I be confined to my bed?"
"How is that possible, how could that be!"
Yu Xiaogang, as if greatly shocked, shook his head incessantly, "My father awoke the Holy Radiant Dragon's martial soul, healed his injured body, and even made a great leap in his cultivation, reaching the rank of a 96th Level Super Title Douluo; how could he possibly be defeated by Qin Xiao?"
"That's right, he also had the True Dragon Nine Crowns, a treasure he brought back from the forbidden area of our family. If it came to a life-and-death fight, his combat power would multiply several times over. My father personally claimed that once the Nine Crowns were activated, he would be the number one person in the Soul Land, almost closing in on the divine."
Yu Xiaogang couldn't accept it; Yu Yuanzhen was so powerful and yet he failed to defeat Qin Xiao.
After listening to Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Luomian fell silent for a moment before saying, "But… your elder brother never told you about the cost of activating the True Dragon Nine Crowns, did he?"
"If he activated the power of just four crowns, with his cultivation level, it wouldn't cause much damage. But when activating the power beyond five crowns, even as a 96th Level Titled Douluo, it would cause irreversible damage to his body."
"Before he left, elder brother had told me that if he were to unleash the full power of the True Dragon Nine Crowns, while his cultivation level would soar to a terrifying realm, it would come at a price too heavy to bear..."
A price too heavy to bear… Yu Xiaogang's gaze became visibly distant, as a bad premonition faintly dawned upon him.
Yet, a sliver of hope still lingered in his heart.
What if...
What if it isn't as cruel as I think?
"But after all, my father is a 96th Level Titled Douluo with the Holy Radiant Dragon's martial soul…."
However, before Yu Xiaogang could finish speaking, Yu Luomian coldly interrupted him.
"It's impossible. Before leaving the sect, elder brother told me if he activated the power of the Nine Crowns, even he would pay with his life. And he also said that if he didn't return within five days, it meant he was gone. If elder brother hadn't explained it, why would I speak nonsense?"
Boom!
Upon hearing Yu Luomian's words, Yu Xiaogang felt like he had been struck by lightning, his face instantly turning pale.
Dead!
He found it hard to accept that Yu Yuanzhen was truly gone.
"The only fortunate thing amidst this misfortune is that my elder brother didn't die in vain. So much time has passed, and there has been no sign of Qin Xiao, which likely means Qin Xiao is also dead."
At this moment, even Yu Luomian didn't know what to feel.
"Qin Xiao... he's also dead...."
Upon hearing Yu Luomian speak, Yu Xiaogang's eyes shone with a glint.
He was no longer so saddened.
Undoubtedly, for him, the only silver lining in the misfortune was that Qin Xiao was dead.
His enemy was dead!
Yet, even if you asked him to smile, he couldn't. After all, his father Yu Yuanzhen was also dead.
At this moment,
Yu Xiaogang noticed that Yu Luomian, lying on the bed, seemed to have mustered some strength and was struggling to stand up.
"Uncle, you should really rest more."
"No, I can't rest anymore," Yu Luomian firmly shook his head, "My big brother's body is not yet cold; I must bring him back to the sect."
"At the same time, I must find and retrieve our sect's treasured True Dragon Nine Crowns...."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang said, "Uncle, shall I go with you?"
Yu Luomian thought seriously for a moment before nodding, "Alright, let's go together, after all, he was your father too...."
"Sure." Yu Xiaogang nodded firmly, standing there with a complex expression.
"Cough cough."
Yu Luomian let out a few deep coughs, then with some annoyance, he said, "What are you doing standing stiff like a pole? Aren't you going to help me up, to retrieve my brother?"
...
Elsewhere,
Du Gu Bo stumbled back to the Icefire Polarized Eyes, his chest stained with blood.
"Grandfather, what happened to you?"
"Your Highness, who injured you?"
Seeing Du Gu Bo looking severely injured, Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran all gathered around him.
A flicker of uncontrollable panic flashed through their eyes.
"It's nothing, I won't die, there's no need to worry."
Du Gu Bo's chest moved erratically like a bellows.
There was no question that despite saying he wouldn't die, his body couldn't be feeling too comfortable.
"I was thinking about returning to Tiandou City to bring you some necessities. I thought I was being very careful, but I was still targeted. What's more surprising is that the person who made a move on me is also a Titled Douluo-level expert."
Du Gu Bo succinctly shared his experiences with everyone.
"What?!"
"A Titled Douluo-level expert attacked you!"
Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and the others' faces changed dramatically.
"Who else could have injured me like this, if not a Titled Douluo-level expert?"
Du Gu Bo huffed irritably.
Who was he looking down on?
He was also a Titled Douluo-level expert; wasn't he worthy of being targeted by a peer?
"Sooner or later, the truth was bound to come out. It seems that the news of his absence has been discovered, attracting such a formidable enemy."
At the side, Liu Erlong sighed deeply.
Hearing this, Du Gu Bo gave a cold smile, even with a hint of pride, "It's quite normal. Qin Xiao destroyed I don't know how many Titled Douluos before, it's only natural that one or two could have escaped his net. However, you don't have to worry about me. Anyone who dares to move against me, that Titled Douluo opponent is definitely not having an easy time either, with injuries no lighter than mine."
After speaking, he glanced over the group, "Nevertheless, for the time being, it's safer for you to stay here. As soon as that Titled Douluo expert appeared, they specifically asked for Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran...."
...
At the same time,
Inside the Tiandou Imperial Palace Main Hall, Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Has the Snake Lance Elder returned?"
"How is it, were you able to find Du Gu Bo following the spy's intelligence?"
