Chapter 46: Chapter 46: The Blue Dragon's Assault
Chapter 46: The Blue Dragon's Assault
Outside Tiandou City, in the Tiandou Royal Academy, in the Academic Committee Office.
Present were the head of the committee, Meng Shenji, the deputy head, Bai Baoshan, and the third seat, Zhi Lin, along with Prince Xue Xing, who nominally managed all affairs of the Tiandou Royal Academy but in reality visited only once every three to five months.
Standing opposite them was none other than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, who had recently departed from Zhenlong Mountain.
Behind Yu Yuanzhen stood three equally burly men: the Great Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother, Yu Yuangqing, an eighty-sixth-level Soul Douluo; the Second Elder, Yu Yuanghao, an eighty-fourth-level Soul Douluo; and Yu Yuanzhen's eldest son and Yu Tianheng's father, Yu Xiaoxin, an eighty-first-level Soul Douluo.
After listening to Yu Yuanzhen's request, Prince Xue Xing and the three committee members were left speechless, exchanging bewildered glances.
The reason was simple: Yu Yuanzhen's request was utterly astonishing. He wanted the Tiandou Royal Family to dispatch several Soul Douluo-level experts to assist him in going to the Sunset Forest to kill Poison Douluo Dugu Bo and his followers.
Yu Yuanzhen had no other choice but to turn to the Tiandou Royal Family. After arriving in Tiandou City, Yu Tianheng had found out about Xiao Yu's connections.
Xiao Yu was not only on good terms with Dugu Bo but also had close ties with the Nine-Hearted Begonia Clan and had invited Yang Wudi, the clan leader of the Defense Clan, to the Sunset Forest.
Ye Renxin was relatively easy to deal with; although a Soul Douluo, in Yu Yuanzhen's impression, he was still a non-combatant healing-type soul master and not much of a threat.
But Yang Wudi was different. Yu Yuanzhen, in his eighties, had heard of Yang Wudi's reputation back when Yang Wudi was still in the Clear Sky Sect.
The Soul Breaking Spear martial soul was among the top weapon martial souls, capable of battling a Title Douluo at full strength.
Moreover, according to his previous information, Xiao Yu had another Soul Douluo-level expert by his side, who was also the one who killed Yu Yuanzhen's cousin, Yu Xiaokun, in the Star Dou Forest.
Adding up, the opposing side had one Title Douluo and three Soul Douluo-level experts. Although their overall strength was slightly inferior, they were still formidable.
If a battle broke out, they might not be able to kill all of them, especially if Dugu Bo managed to escape, which would be a significant problem for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in the future.
To eliminate this threat once and for all, Yu Yuanzhen needed to find a few more powerful allies to surround and kill the targets.
Apart from himself, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had five Soul Douluo-level experts.
Accompanying him to Tiandou City were three Soul Douluos, leaving his second brother, Yu Luomian, at eighty-third level, and the elder, Yu Yuanhui, at eighty-first level, to guard Zhenlong Mountain.
Just like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, where Sword and Bone Douluo always alternated between staying in the sect and accompanying the sect leader, Yu Yuanzhen had already brought the maximum number of Soul Douluos his clan could afford to send. Mobilizing more would leave Zhenlong Mountain vulnerable.
Thus, Yu Yuanzhen had to seek help in Tiandou City, where only three forces could dispatch Soul Douluo-level experts: the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and the Tiandou Royal Family.
The Spirit Hall was ambitious and had long been at odds with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, making their assistance impossible.
Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had a good relationship with them, its leader, Ning Fengzhi, always spoke of unity among the top three sects.
However, the sect was powerful, especially Sword Douluo Chen Xin, whose strength surpassed Yu Yuanzhen's.
Even if they managed to kill Dugu Bo and his followers, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would take the lion's share of the spoils, a result Yu Yuanzhen was unwilling to accept.
So, for Yu Yuanzhen, there was only one choice: the Tiandou Royal Family. They could dispatch a few Soul Douluo-level experts to assist him, but without Title Douluo-level strength, Yu Yuanzhen could keep them under control.
This way, he could give them a portion of the spoils, but the majority of the benefits would fall to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Clan Leader Yu, are you aware that Mr. Dugu Bo is a guest of our Tiandou Empire? Asking us to help you deal with him seems a bit..."
Prince Xue Xing did not finish his sentence, stopping short of calling the request preposterous. After a brief pause, he changed the topic.
"Clan Leader Yu, what conflict do you have with Mr. Dugu Bo? I would be willing to mediate between the two of you. Wouldn't it be better to resolve this peacefully?"
"There is no possibility of reconciliation between Dugu Bo and me!" Yu Yuanzhen said firmly. Xiao Yu helped Dugu Yan evolve her martial spirit, and given Dugu Bo's character, he would never betray Xiao Yu. Moreover, a Title Douluo would never bow to threats.
"If the Tiandou Royal Family assists me in eliminating Dugu Bo, I can promise that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will fully support the Tiandou Empire!"
Yu Yuanzhen was aware that Dugu Bo was a guest of the Tiandou Empire. Although not particularly obedient, he was still the only directly affiliated Title Douluo of the empire. To make the empire forsake Dugu Bo, Yu Yuanzhen had to offer better terms.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan indeed had intentions of aligning with the Tiandou Empire. Otherwise, Yu Tianheng, Yu Yuanzhen's eldest grandson, wouldn't be at the Tiandou Royal Academy. This was a promise he could keep.
"I've heard that Your Highness supports the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, while Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has garnered the support of many high-ranking officials and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. If Your Highness assists with this matter today, I promise that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will fully support Xue Beng's ascension."
This promise was conveyed by Yu Yuanzhen using soul power, avoiding the three committee members. Yu Yuanzhen believed in the power of strength and didn't care whether Xue Qinghe or Xue Beng became the emperor of the Tiandou Empire.
Prince Xue Xing's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Although he had a good relationship with Dugu Bo, it was primarily because he valued Dugu Bo's status as a Title Douluo. Now that Yu Yuanzhen had offered a higher price, the royal-born, profit-driven prince felt he had to forsake his friendship with Dugu Bo.
Making up his mind, Prince Xue Xing stood up and cupped his hands. "This matter is significant. I must report to my elder brother and let him decide. Please, Clan Leader Yu, be patient for a few days."
"Very well!" Yu Yuanzhen nodded. He needed time to gather information about Xiao Yu, Dugu Bo, and their associates, especially Dugu Bo, who was elusive. He had to confirm that Dugu Bo was in the Sunset Forest before making a move. Giving Xue Xing and Xue Ye a few days to discuss was no problem.
