Chương 126: Old Serpent
After a month, the construction of the main building of the Tang Sect was completed. To tell the truth, it was very tedious to control all the budget and logistics that are very important in any action, I hate people who didn't think about it. At least, the Defense Hall were real professionals at this.
The finishing of the work matched with Shrek Monsters's return who were surprised by the detailed building, it was a Chinese style mansion, according to Niu Gao it was inspired in the previous Clear Sky headquarters, focused on defense against external foes.
Shrek's team seemed to have accomplished their quest, as they returned with some blacksmiths, some of them were the best of the best, and obtained a lot of rare treasures and materials.
At the same moment, I sensed some moments from the Speed Hall, Bai He received a letter. Bai He convoked all of us to an important meeting.
After Shrek's members let all their things and were prepared we all were reunited at a meeting room. There were two meeting places at the sect. One was the outer one, for meetings with external people, that was a throne-like chair in a full ostentatious room, full of expensive ornaments, showing the power of the sect to the outside. The other one and where we reunited was the inner one. This was a simple room with the minimum decoration, in the middle of it there was a big long table with chairs surrounding it, at the head table there were the two grandest chairs and as the chairs further away they became smaller, representing the lower position.
For this meeting, we were the Shrek Monsters, the hall heads of the single-attribute clans and me. Tang San and Xiao Wu sat at the head, it was strange seeing Xiao Wu who had dyed her hair black as I recommended. She had been exposed as a spirit beast at the Tournament so it's better to evade any unnecessary fight of spirit master trying to take her. The others sad at the other chairs, Tang San's friends at his side. I was with the hall heads, even if not part of the sect as the representative of the Seven Treasure Clan, the financial backer my standing couldn't be low.
Once we were sat, Bai He stood up "Since we moved to Heaven Dou Empire, the Speed Hall has been investigating and obtaining information about it. These last days there had been a lot of movements at Heaven Dou's Palace, the security has tightened, more than 10 thousand soldiers mobilizing to the place, making it impossible to gain more information from it. I suspect that the emperor Xue Ye may not last long. The battle for the throne is imminent"
"Spirit Hall would surely take advantage of it" Tai Tan said.
I was thinking of their conversation until I sensed something, my gaze going to the exit door. For the reactions of the others, they didn't seem to have detect it, with the exception of Tang San who was also fixed at the room. A powerful person was approaching.
"Bam" the doors were opened by an invisible force causing everyone to stay become quiet. At the door stood an old man wearing simple green clothes, he had green long hair and beard with beryl eyes. For his presence, there was no doubt that he was a titled douluo, but at the same time I could sense some familiarity with him.
"Old monster!" Tang San called him while standing up and received him with a handshake.
"There's no time, little monster! Emperor Xue Ye is at the verge of death" he informed confirming our theories "I need your help to treat the poison".
"Wait a moment, old monster. You didn't explain that you have it under control" Tang San said.
"I used my own poison to treat him, fighting poison with poison. However, his poison is very tricky, changing its nature continuously with time, weather and temperature, this caused my poison to not be effective and his relapses becoming shorter. We need to hurry" he explained.
Tang San turned to Yang Wudi "You know something about this poison?"
Yang Wudi nodded "This seems to be the forbidden poison of my clan. It's an extremely complex poison concocted by numerous precious herbs. It has 7 years of incubation before it could be activated, once activated the person is dead. It would continuously mutate, slowly weakening the host until killing him"
"There's some cure to it?" the man asked.
Yang Wudi shook his head "It can only be delayed"
The man clenched his teeth "Anyway, let's go before the emperor dies, surely you could do something. Hurry!" The man's eyes glowed and a green serpent appeared colliding around him. I instantly recognized the snake, it was a Jade Phosphor Serpent, the same spirit as Yan, so the most probable was that his man was Yan's grandparent, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. The serpent shot towards Tang San and Yang Wudi, it grew in size and take them with its tail. Then is shot towards outside, Dugu Bo jumping at its head.
(If this about the emperor and the palace, Qinghe must be in all. If a battle for the throne starts, I'll need to help him) I then looked at my left hand with a difficult gaze (And I could help with the poison).
I stood up white wings growing from my back, revolving my spirit energy at them I shot flying in Dugu Bo direction. Even if I must use Paul's spirit, I'll need to help the emperor. His death will make a chaotic era and Spirit Empire would be the most beneficed of Heaven Dou weakening.
It didn't take me long to catch the three who were all sat on the serpent's head. I was nearly shot down by Dugu Bo whose rings started shining, but fortunately, he was stopped by Tang San. I landed at the serpent's head withdrawing my wings.
I was shot a death glance by Dugu Bo "I saw you at the little monster's sect, but, who are you?"
I made a light bow "I am Ning Bai"
"So you are Fengzhi's son. Yanyan had talked about you. Nevertheless, as your father, I don't trust you. Tell me your reason to be here, before I command my serpent to kill you" Bo ordered pushing me with his pressure.
Even under his pressure, I stayed calm. Anyway, I doubted that he would really act "I can help with the poison. I may not be knowledgeable about poisons, but I have a contingency against them" At this moment I remembered Paul's words, according to him his Oreo would be extremely beneficial to someone like Dugu Bo, giving one to him would sure gain his approval.
I took out a Red Velvet Oreo from my storage "This food would cure any poison even making it beneficial for the one who ate. If the emperor's poison is too complex it may not work, but there won't be negative effects"
"So this way you survived my eight spider lances poison" said Tang San.
"Boy, I don't trust you. If you are only a tenth of your father, you are a scheming bastard. Your family supports Xue Qinghe while I favored Xue Beng. This could be a trap to benefit Qinghe and I know that he is someone fishy" Dugu Bo explained.
(Of course, he won't trust me instantly, but...) I lifted my left hand, five blacks rings appeared around it, shocking them madly. One ring started shining and a Red Velvet Oreo appeared over my left palm.
"You have twin spirits!" Tang San shouted surprised.
"This is not important now" I said throwing the Oreo to Dugu Bo "Take it, it would be beneficial to you. After knowing its effect, you would let me use it in the emperor" It must be known that food spirits can't be poisonous, even when absorbing a poisonous spirit beast, your skill will be cleaned of any poison, making them safe. Someone with a food spirit, with negatives effect, is unheard.
Dugu Bo took the Oreo even with a dubious face. After some time and a nodding from Tang San, he finally ate it. He opened his eyes widely at the effect of the Oreo "Don't disturb me!" he ordered before closing his eyes. The stood there in a cultivating position while the flying serpent continued flying to the palace.
It didn't take much time until he opened his eyes again. The Red Velvet Oreo acts quickly and he had lived with his poison all his life, so it would be simply to take control of it. In these 10 minutes, he had experimented some changed, he seemed more youthful, having lost 10, and his hair and beard changed color, the previous green one was replaced by brown. Even with that, the most important change wasn't his external changes, it was his spirit energy. The aura around him grew stronger, now resembling a super douluo, if he wasn't rank 95, he should be near it.
"Hahaha" Dugu Bo laughed inspecting his body. He turned to Tang San "This is much better than you, little monster"
"How could something make a titled douluo cultivation grow so much in such a short time" said Tang San incredulously.
"I didn't expect this. This should make the body get used to the poison, being possible to gain the benefits of the poison. But the increase in cultivation is new" I explained looking shocked at Dugu Bo.
All three of them looked completely shocked at me, their jaws falling "How can such a heavenly defining spirit exist? In good quantities some poison can be used as a medicine, your spirit throws this out to the bin and makes any poison, any quantity medicine"
"Even with the little monster method, I wasn't completely healed as I need the poison to keep my strength. This at the same time, restricted my improvements as my body won't be able to keep up with the new power, I already accepted being unable to breakthrough anymore. Now this is solved, I completely assimilated the poison, making my body a lot stronger and shooting my rank to 95, it would be even possible to be beyond" Dugu Bo then bowed to me "Thanks, little freak" He then hit my back almost making me fall "Hahaha"
"You're welcome" I answered.
"Don't forget to give this to my granddaughter" he said just as the palace could be seen. We all turned serious "I will thank you accordingly later, now we need to save the emperor"

picaco
picaco Fuck! I now remembered that I wanted for Yan and Tianheng to give the left leg bone to Bai. They kept the spirit bones these years, due to thinking that they didn't deserve them as they should let choose to Bai and Mayi, before anything.
Anyway, I will make it that they give him later. It may be a bit forced, sorry for that. And here's the second chapter for today. Like always, thanks for reading and comment!
