Chapter 313: The Impending Assassination
Yang Wudi ultimately agreed to Yu Tianlin's arrangement and wrote out a prescription for him, then personally refined the medicine as well.
The prescription he gave was specifically meant to ease the onset of Gorgeous Seven Colors. According to Yang Wudi, it only worked against Gorgeous Seven Colors. In other words, if the prescription proved ineffective on the poisoned person, then the poison would not be Gorgeous Seven Colors, and that would naturally prove that his younger brother, Yang Wushuang, had not defected to Spirit Hall.
As for the medicine Yang Wudi personally refined, it was the actual antidote for completely curing Gorgeous Seven Colors. Since Gorgeous Seven Colors was one of the Breaking Clan's forbidden lethal poisons, the antidote formula itself could not be handed over to Yu Tianlin. So Yang Wudi simply refined the finished medicine himself and gave that to him directly.
With those two items in hand, Emperor Xue Ye's poisoning was no longer a problem. At the same time, through this method, Yu Tianlin would also be able to indirectly control Qian Renxue's movements and arrange matters clearly.
If nothing unexpected happened, he could easily waste several years of Qian Renxue's time, delaying her path to inheriting the God of Angels even further.
Thus, the trip to the Breaking Clan was considered a complete success.
Yu Tianlin and the others stayed there for one night to rest, then set out for Heaven Dou City the next day.
After all, even with the solution in hand, it still had to be delivered to Dugu Bo. On top of that, Yu Tianlin also intended to deal with a few other matters in Heaven Dou City.
However, only a few days after they left Fengxing City, the Sacred Dragon Sect had already passed the news to Spirit Hall.
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong reclined lazily on the papal throne, her fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest as she said, "According to the report from Tuoba Xi, an Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan appeared in Fengxing City and seems to have fought with the Clan Chief of the Breaking Clan. After that, the two sides reached some kind of agreement. What do you think of this matter?"
At her side, Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly read through the intelligence sent by the Sacred Dragon Sect, then passed it to Ghost Douluo and said, "The Breaking Clan? If I remember correctly, they are remnants related to the Clear Sky Clan. According to this report, they only have a single level 82 Spirit Douluo guarding them. There is no need to pay them much attention. Tuoba Xi can handle them easily."
"As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan..." Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes narrowed slightly. Clearly, the Breaking Clan itself was not even worth his concern. What he truly cared about was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's sudden movement.
"They mostly operate within the Heaven Dou Empire. Why would they suddenly go to the Star Luo Empire at this time? And they even sent an Elder. Such a move is clearly abnormal."
Ghost Douluo, who had already finished reading the report, nodded as well. "Exactly. Please instruct us, Your Holiness."
The moment Spirit Hall learned that an Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was moving about alone, there were really only 3 possible choices.
The first was to pretend not to see it.
The second was to secretly monitor him and find out his purpose.
The third was to send people directly to kill him. Although doing so would alert the enemy, if they could eliminate a lone Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan ahead of time, then the Soul Hunting Operation against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would become much easier later.
"I need Gui Mei to continue secretly protecting those little ones training in the Maze Grand Canyon, so Yue Guan, you go this time."
Bibi Dong had clearly already made up her mind. Her earlier question had only been casual. Now she said directly, "Yue Guan, go eliminate that Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Do it cleanly and quietly."
She paused for a moment, then added, "If you can pin the blame on the Star Luo Empire as well, that would be even better."
In Bibi Dong's eyes, since the Clan Chief of the Breaking Clan was only level 82, then the Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who could fight him should naturally also be around the 8 ring level. It was impossible for that person to be one of the Clan's 2 Titled Douluo.
If that was the case, then sending Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan would be more than enough. He was a level 95 Titled Douluo. Dealing with an 8 ring Spirit Douluo, even one from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with extraordinary combat power, would still be easy. With such a huge difference in strength, there would be no difficulty at all.
"Yes, Your Holiness."
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan himself also did not think much of this mission. After receiving the order, he immediately set out.
On the other side, a few days after leaving Fengxing City, Yu Tianlin and his group had already reached the border of the Star Luo Empire.
Well, there was no need to complain about their slow pace. Their speed was actually quite normal.
After all, there was no urgent matter pressing them. Emperor Xue Ye was still several years away from being poisoned to death. It was still far too early. Yu Tianlin and the others were naturally not in a hurry, and with Ye Lingling present, the pace could not possibly be fast when the two of them were also taking in the scenery like a young man and woman traveling together.
By this time, the sky had already grown late. Seeing that the surrounding environment was fairly decent, Yu Tianlin decided to stop and spend the night there.
Over the past few days, they had either stayed overnight in cities or, at worst, in villages and towns. Only now, close to the border of the Star Luo Empire where the area had grown desolate, did they end up camping in the wilderness.
Ye Lingling had spent most of her life in Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and after graduation she had gone straight to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The number of times she had camped outside while hunting Spirit Beasts was very small. But during those Spirit Beast hunts, she had always been under tension and never truly enjoyed herself. So now that she could camp under such relaxed circumstances, she was actually quite interested.
After tying down the 2 Heavenly Spirit Horses with Spirit Beast bloodlines, taking out 3 tents from the storage Spirit tool, setting them up one by one, and lighting a bonfire, the basic arrangements were quickly completed. It was then time to prepare dinner.
Normally, when traveling, people would just keep things simple and chew on dry rations. But Ye Lingling clearly wanted to show off her skills a little in front of Yu Tianlin and Yu Luomian, so she took out ingredients and began cooking herself.
Yu Tianlin had no idea how good it would actually taste, but judging from Ye Lingling's practiced movements, it looked quite decent. At the very least, it shouldn't be bad.
While Ye Lingling was busy preparing dinner, Yu Luomian and Yu Tianlin sat cross legged beside the bonfire.
The originally peaceful scene was suddenly broken when Yu Luomian spoke.
"Tianlin, some time ago Dugu Bo came to the Clan looking for you because of that poisoning matter, didn't he?"
"That's right." Although Yu Tianlin did not understand why his Second Grandfather had not asked about it a few days ago but suddenly brought it up now, he still nodded.
Seeing Yu Tianlin confirm it, a faint smile appeared on Yu Luomian's face.
"Spirit Hall obtained one of the Breaking Clan's forbidden poisons and used it to poison someone. Dugu Bo discovered it, but he couldn't cure it, so he came to find you. Then you went to Yang Wudi in turn."
He looked at Yu Tianlin with interest.
"This roundabout journey is quite interesting."
"So, can you tell me who it was that Spirit Hall poisoned? For them to go to such lengths, that person's identity must not be simple."
At Yu Luomian's question, Yu Tianlin hesitated.
After all, this matter was too significant. It involved Qian Renxue. He truly did not want to casually reveal it to Yu Luomian.
