Chapter 142: The Arrival of Yue Guan, Strange Velvet Sky-reaching Chrysanthemum
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong lightly waved her hand.
In just a moment, a golden figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall.
Yue Guan stepped inside, walked before the throne, and bowed in salute.
"Your Majesty, Supreme Pontiff."
"Yue Guan." Bibi Dong spoke slowly. "You and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo are quite familiar with each other, right?"
Yue Guan was slightly stunned, then nodded. "We have dealt with each other quite a bit. That Old Poison's ability to use poison is truly troublesome. If we really were to fight, I wouldn't be able to gain much of an advantage right now."
"Then make a trip to Heaven Dou City." Bibi Dong's tone carried an unquestionable air. "Represent Spirit Hall and go meet that Lin Mo."
Yue Guan's brows furrowed imperceptibly.
He naturally knew of Lin Mo.
He had seen the news sent back by Snake Lance Douluo, and he was also aware of the urgent report sent by Platinum Bishop Salas.
A twelve-year-old Spirit King with a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring. Such talent was truly astonishing.
But to send him to Heaven Dou City, to meet someone protected by Dugu Bo...
"Your Majesty." Yue Guan raised his head, his tone carrying a hint of hesitation. "Although I am familiar with Dugu Bo, our relationship truly cannot be called good."
"We just fought a few days ago. His cultivation has improved, and I suffered a small loss."
He paused, then added, "Moreover, the news sent back by Snake Lance mentioned that the Young Lord also seems to have the intention of recruiting Lin Mo."
"If I were to go, I am afraid it would..."
"Are you afraid of being caught between her and me?" Bibi Dong interrupted him.
Yue Guan fell silent.
This was exactly the part that gave him the biggest headache.
The Supreme Pontiff Palace and the Consecration Hall had always stayed out of each other's way. This time, Young Lord Qian Renxue had already clearly stated her position, yet the Supreme Pontiff still wanted to intervene.
If he went, regardless of the outcome, he would inevitably offend the Young Lord.
"Just go." Bibi Dong's voice turned colder. "As for her, I have my own measures. You only need to handle the task I have entrusted to you."
Yue Guan sighed inwardly, knowing there was no room for negotiation. He had no choice but to bow helplessly.
"I obey, Your Majesty. It is just..."
"To what extent does Your Majesty wish to recruit Lin Mo? What price can we pay to recruit him?"
This was a question he had to clarify.
Bibi Dong was silent for a moment, then told Yue Guan the conditions she had long prepared.
After saluting, Yue Guan exited the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
After walking out of the hall, he looked up at the sky and felt a headache coming on.
This errand was truly difficult to handle.
Not long after, Heaven Dou City, Spirit Holy Hall.
Platinum Bishop Salas was pacing back and forth at the entrance of the hall, his expression anxious.
Finally, a golden figure appeared in his line of sight. Yue Guan was still dressed in white.
"Elder Chrysanthemum!"
Platinum Bishop Salas hurriedly went up to meet him and bowed in salute.
Yue Guan glanced at him indifferently. "Is the person at Dugu Manor?"
"Yes, he has been in Dugu Manor this entire time, personally protected by Poison Douluo." Platinum Bishop Salas hurriedly said, "I have already sent people to keep watch. Lin Mo has not gone out these past few days."
"Lead the way," Yue Guan said.
Platinum Bishop Salas was overjoyed and quickly led the way.
With Chrysanthemum Douluo stepping in, he finally had the confidence to go see Lin Mo and Dugu Bo this time.
And just moments after Chrysanthemum Douluo and Platinum Bishop Salas set off, the informants Qian Renxue had planted around the Spirit Holy Hall had already sent the news back.
Crown Prince Residence, study.
Qian Renxue sat behind the desk, looking at the secret report that had just been delivered. Her expression sank at a visible speed.
"Good. Very good."
She put down the secret report, her voice filled with chill. "I have already reminded her more than once, yet she still insists on interfering in my affairs!"
Snake Lance Douluo, who stood to the side, lowered his head and remained silent.
"Yue Guan has already arrived in Heaven Dou City and is now heading to Dugu Manor with Platinum Bishop Salas." Qian Renxue stood up and walked to the window. "She is completely disregarding me."
Snake Lance Douluo hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Young Lord, perhaps the Supreme Pontiff is merely eager to cherish talent..."
"Eager to cherish talent?" Qian Renxue sneered. "Does Spirit Hall lack geniuses? Among the Golden Generation under her, which one isn't one in a million? Why must she come to snatch Lin Mo from me?"
"She clearly has her eye on the special nature of Lin Mo's Martial Soul and wants to find a way to solve the Martial Soul problem for that person."
She knew Bibi Dong too well.
In that woman's heart, aside from power and strength, there was only that man named Yu Xiaogang.
This was the real reason why she was willing to overstep her boundaries just to intervene.
"Then what should we do now?" Snake Lance Douluo asked tentatively.
Qian Renxue was silent for a moment.
"Let's wait and see for now."
After all, this was Heaven Dou City, the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire. It was not suitable for her to appear at Dugu Manor in the identity of Xue Qinghe right now.
Dugu Manor, living room.
Dugu Bo sat in the main seat, his expression not looking very good.
Lin Mo sat below him, his expression calm.
"Old Poison, don't put on that face." Yue Guan's voice came from the doorway. "I am here representing Spirit Hall after all. Is this how you treat guests?"
As the voice fell, Yue Guan and Platinum Bishop Salas walked in one after the other.
Dugu Bo raised his eyes and glanced at Yue Guan, then snorted coldly. "You old chrysanthemum, why aren't you staying properly in Spirit City? Why have you come running over to me?"
"Naturally, I have come to visit under the orders of the Supreme Pontiff." Yue Guan was not polite either. He sat down on his own in an empty chair at the side.
Platinum Bishop Salas stood behind Yue Guan, looking somewhat awkward.
As the Hall Master of the Spirit Holy Hall in Heaven Dou City, he did not even have a seat here.
Dugu Bo looked at Platinum Bishop Salas and said indifferently, "Bishop Salas, Yue Guan and I have some private matters to discuss. You should go back first."
Platinum Bishop Salas's expression stiffened, and he subconsciously looked at Yue Guan.
However, Yue Guan acted as if he had not heard anything. He picked up another untouched cup of tea on the table and gently blew on it.
Platinum Bishop Salas cursed inwardly, but he also knew that this was not a place where he had the right to speak.
He forced a smile and bowed. "Then I will take my leave."
After speaking, he turned and exited the living room, closing the door on his way out.
Only three people remained in the living room.
Only then did Dugu Bo look at Yue Guan, his tone unfriendly. "If you have something to say, spit it out. I don't have time to waste here with you."
Yue Guan put down the teacup and did not beat around the bush.
"I have come this time representing Spirit Hall, and representing the Supreme Pontiff."
He looked at Lin Mo, his gaze becoming serious. "According to custom, Spirit Hall will issue invitations to any genius Spirit Master who appears on the continent."
"Lin Mo, are you willing to join Spirit Hall?"
Lin Mo did not answer immediately.
Yue Guan seemed to have anticipated his hesitation and raised his hand to stop him from speaking.
"Don't rush to refuse. Wait until you hear the conditions we can offer you, then you can make your decision."
He paused, then continued, "However, before discussing conditions, I have a presumptuous request. Can you let me see for myself your External Beast Martial Soul, which is rumored to be miraculous in the outside world?"
Lin Mo looked at Dugu Bo, and Dugu Bo nodded.
Lin Mo no longer hesitated. With a slight movement of his mind, a red light flashed, and Charizard appeared directly in the living room.
Yue Guan's pupils contracted slightly.
He not only sensed the pure fire attribute on Charizard, but also captured the fleeting fluctuation of spirit power when Lin Mo released his Martial Soul.
That aura was one he was extremely familiar with!
Yue Guan's expression changed. He stood up abruptly from his chair and flashed in front of Lin Mo.
Dugu Bo seemed to have anticipated this scene and sat in his original seat without moving.
Lin Mo did not dodge either, allowing Yue Guan to make his move.
Yue Guan raised his hand and struck Lin Mo's body with seven consecutive palms.
The palm force was not heavy, but each palm landed precisely on specific locations: neck, legs, arms, chest, and back.
Seven streams of spirit power were injected into Lin Mo's body along with the palm force.
The next moment, a layer of faint golden light appeared on the surface of Lin Mo's body.
Seeing this golden light, Yue Guan's hand stopped in midair, and his whole body froze there.
His breathing became rapid, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
He flipped his wrist, and a magnificent purple chrysanthemum appeared in his hand.
The petals were fluffy, and the entire chrysanthemum was seamless, yet no fragrance overflowed.
It was precisely Yue Guan's Martial Soul, the immortal-grade Strange Velvet Sky-reaching Chrysanthemum!
Yue Guan stared fixedly at Lin Mo, his voice trembling from excessive excitement.
"You... you have consumed this immortal-grade herb, haven't you?"
"Yes." Lin Mo nodded. "I have indeed eaten a Strange Velvet Sky-reaching Chrysanthemum."
