Chapter 382: Setting Sights on the Angel God Armor
"Then I will trouble Clan Master Yang."
Yu Yuanzhen said this, then immediately led Yu Tianlin and Dugu Bo out of the sleeping chambers.
As a Clan Master, Yu Yuanzhen was quite sensitive to such matters. He knew that Yang Wudi might use some secret methods of the Breaking Clan when detoxifying Emperor Xue Ye later, so he did not remain inside the sleeping chambers to watch.
The group waited outside the sleeping chambers, while also preventing anyone from disturbing Yang Wudi's detoxification process.
Seeing that the situation had developed to this point, with her not only captured, but two Titled Douluo dead, and even the poison afflicting Emperor Xue Ye about to be neutralized, Qian Renxue, realizing that she had lost everything, finally could not help speaking.
"Yu Tianlin, I admit that you won this time. But how do you plan to deal with me?"
"You dare not kill me, or my grandfather will definitely not let this matter rest."
"Or will you lock me up? That is meaningless too. Grandfather will certainly come to save me. Unless Yu Yuanzhen guards me without pause, my escape will only be a matter of time."
"So in the end, you will still have to release me."
After saying this, Qian Renxue appeared very confident.
"That's right. You're correct. We don't want to provoke your grandfather, so there is indeed a high chance we will release you eventually," Yu Tianlin said with a smile. "However, we can't let you go for nothing. Spirit Hall must pay a certain price. If we can't agree on the terms in the end, killing you is still possible."
"A price? No problem." Hearing Yu Tianlin's words, Qian Renxue agreed at once, appearing very composed. "Since I lost, paying the corresponding price is only right. What does your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan want?"
As long as they could negotiate, there was no issue. Spirit Hall was vast and wealthy, possessing all kinds of treasures. Given Qian Renxue's status as the Young Miss of Spirit Hall, even using top-grade Spirit Bones to redeem her was acceptable.
"Is that so?" Yu Tianlin immediately said, "I heard that your Spirit Hall possesses six pieces of top-grade Spirit Bones passed down for thousands of years, each reaching ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years in age. The fact that you could disguise yourself as Xue Qinghe for so many years without being discovered must be the effect of one of those Spirit Bones."
That's right. What Yu Tianlin was referring to was the Angel God Armor inherited by Spirit Hall.
This was the method Yu Tianlin had carefully thought of during this period.
Once Qian Renxue's identity was exposed, she would return to Spirit Hall and accept the Legacy of the God of Angels. With Qian Daoliu intentionally smoothing the way for her, the speed at which she became a Deity would be extremely fast. Yu Tianlin was not even certain he could become a Deity before Qian Renxue.
Since that was the case, he had to find a way to interfere with Qian Renxue's Deity Legacy as much as possible, and the Angel God Armor was an excellent starting point.
If Yu Tianlin could find a way to obtain one of those Spirit Bones, then Qian Renxue's Angel God Armor would be incomplete, and she naturally would not be able to become a Deity.
"You dare set your sights on our Legacy Spirit Bones?!" Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly constricted, astonished that Yu Tianlin would say such a thing. "Is your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan not afraid of biting off more than it can chew?!"
Yu Tianlin smiled at Qian Renxue, revealing his white teeth. "Don't worry. Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a large appetite. We won't choke."
"Change the condition. My grandfather cannot give you the Legacy Spirit Bone." Qian Renxue took a deep breath and stared intently at Yu Tianlin. "Furthermore, those six Legacy Spirit Bones of Spirit Hall can only be absorbed by a Spirit Master who possesses the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Even if we gave them to you, you couldn't use them."
"Whether your grandfather will give it or not remains to be seen," Yu Tianlin said. "As for whether we can absorb it, you don't need to worry about that."
Qian Renxue was currently in Yu Tianlin's hands, and she was the sole inheritor of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. If she died, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul line would be severed. Therefore, it was possible that Qian Daoliu would sacrifice one Legacy Spirit Bone for her.
After all, even if the Legacy Spirit Bone were given to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Spirit Hall could think of a way to reclaim it later. But if Qian Renxue died, she could not be brought back to life.
"You don't need to concern yourself with these matters. Just focus on being our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's prisoner," Yu Tianlin finally said. "When the time comes, my grandfather will negotiate with your grandfather."
After that, the two stopped speaking.
Not long after, the Three Committee Members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy arrived. After learning from Dugu Bo that Yang Wudi was detoxifying Emperor Xue Ye, they also waited outside the sleeping chambers with the others, while simultaneously ordering personnel to restrain the fifty Spirit Masters who had been stunned by Yu Yuanzhen's lightning.
Two hours later, Yang Wudi finally walked out of the sleeping chambers. His complexion was slightly pale. It seemed that concentrating on the detoxification for two hours had indeed exhausted him.
"Clan Master Yang, how is His Majesty?"
As soon as Yang Wudi appeared, the Three Committee Members immediately surrounded him and asked anxiously.
"I have completely neutralized all the poison in Emperor Xue Ye's body," Yang Wudi said. "He is now conscious. Aside from being somewhat weak, there are no major issues. With some nourishment, he will fully recover."
"That's wonderful."
The Three Committee Members all breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Emperor Xue Ye was fine, that was enough. As for nourishment, the Heaven Dou Empire had plenty of Heaven and Earth treasures. High-grade tonics were abundant and not an issue at all.
After explaining Emperor Xue Ye's current condition, Yang Wudi swept his gaze over Yu Tianlin and the others, then said, "Emperor Xue Ye asks you all to enter. Also, the Three Committee Members should wait here for now."
At these words, the expressions of the Three Committee Members immediately stiffened, and bitterness involuntarily appeared on their faces.
They were truly miserable. They had staked everything on the Crown Prince, only for the Crown Prince to turn out to be a fake. Their luck was rotten enough to make people question Heaven itself.
"Let's go. Go in and meet your 'Imperial Father.'"
Yu Tianlin teased Qian Renxue.
He was genuinely curious what expression Emperor Xue Ye would have when he learned that the Crown Prince he had placed such high hopes in was actually a woman in disguise who had deceived him for more than a decade.
Qian Renxue had no reaction to Yu Tianlin's teasing. She was still preoccupied with the matter of the Angel God Armor.
The group entered the sleeping chambers together.
Emperor Xue Ye was now sitting up, leaning against the headboard. His complexion was no longer the purplish-black hue from when he was poisoned, but it still looked somewhat pale. When he saw the group enter, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "I am indebted to Clan Master Yu for your efforts this time. If not for Clan Master Yu's help, who knows how far the situation might have deteriorated."
"It is nothing, Your Majesty," Yu Yuanzhen said. "Since we have formed an Alliance, this is naturally what I should do."
"And Mr. Dugu." Emperor Xue Ye turned to look at Dugu Bo and said, "Mr. Dugu has worried and worked tirelessly over my poisoning. I have truly troubled you."
In response to Emperor Xue Ye's words, Dugu Bo merely nodded without saying anything.
