Bi Bi Dong then said, "Dugu Bo has already allied with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Touching one part moves the whole body, so it is not appropriate to completely fall out with him at this time."
"But..."
Snake Spear wanted to say something else, but Bi Bi Dong's single glance stifled him.
Bi Bi Dong said, "I know you and Ci Xue are close and you want to avenge him, but this is the current situation. Perhaps you can try to see if you can persuade the Great Enshrinement to act."
Looking at the playful expression on Bi Bi Dong's face, Snake Spear Douluo remained silent.
He knew Bi Bi Dong was warning him because, although he held a position in the Elder Hall, he took orders from Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu, which displeased her.
As for asking Qian Daoliu to act...
It was impossible.
Unless something happened to Qian Renxue, or a crisis that could fundamentally threaten the Spirit Hall appeared, he would not act. Moreover, there was still Tang Hao to deal with.
That made it even more impossible.
Yue Guan had arrived at the Enshrinement Hall and met Qian Daoliu. What surprised him was that the Great Enshrinement showed no reaction upon hearing the name Tang Hao, who was his son's killer.
That shouldn't be the case.
Was the Great Enshrinement's state of mind so exaggerated that even an irreconcilable enemy couldn't cause him emotional fluctuations, or was there some hidden reason he didn't know about?
Why didn't Qian Daoliu react much?
Because he had long known that the culprit who killed his son was not Tang Hao. Although the matter was ultimately related to Tang Hao, the most direct murderer was Bi Bi Dong.
But no matter what, she was Xue'er's mother. How could Qian Daoliu bring himself to seek revenge?
Although she wasn't a very competent mother, no matter how incompetent she was, a mother was still a mother. She still held some weight in Xue'er's heart.
Xue'er had been trying hard all these years to gain her approval.
Furthermore, he didn't have many years left to live. In the end, he still had to leave someone to protect Xue'er, and besides Bi Bi Dong, he had no better choice.
"I will arrange for someone to handle it."
Qian Daoliu said indifferently. Yue Guan bowed and left.
After Yue Guan left, Qian Daoliu summoned the Enshrinements and Elders, briefly explained Tang Hao's matter, and then sent everyone, including Golden Crocodile Douluo, out.
Either don't move, or if you move, go all out, to avoid unexpected changes and further losses.
...
Entering the Sunset Forest.
Besides the aura of death, this time Li Qing also felt vibrant life. Every large tree and every plant around emitted a strong life aura.
Dugu Bo suddenly asked, "How about the Life Snowdrop?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qing quickly recalled the information about the Life Snowdrop. It was a plant with extremely strong vitality. Ordinary Life Snowdrops only bloomed in winter, while Martial Soul ones never withered.
"Do you know where there are Life Snowdrops?"
Dugu Bo said, "I encountered one many years ago, but at that time, it was only over eight thousand years old. After so many years, I don't know if it can meet your needs, or even if it's still there."
Li Qing nodded, "Then let's go take a look. Having a goal is better than searching aimlessly."
"Alright, this way."
Dugu Bo nodded, then led Li Qing in one direction.
Dugu Bo led Li Qing at a rapid pace for most of the day, arriving at the bottom of a broken cliff. There, about twenty meters from the ground on the middle of the cliff, grew a clump of plants.
Among the chive-like blades of grass grew round stems, topped with white flowers hanging their heads.
"One, two, three... eleven flowers." Dugu Bo looked at Li Qing, "I didn't expect its age to increase so quickly. Can it withstand eleven thousand years?"
"It must be able to withstand it."
A happy smile appeared on Li Qing's face. He didn't expect his luck to be so good this time, finding a Martial Soul Beast with suitable quality and age so smoothly.
"Alright, since you've decided, I won't say any more unnecessary words."
As Dugu Bo spoke, he completed his Martial Soul Possession. As Soul Power was injected into his torso bone, a pair of green energy wings condensed behind him. Then, he spread his wings and soared into the sky.
Li Qing was startled.
He didn't expect his luck to be so good, actually gaining the ability to fly.
This way, his combat power and life-saving ability were raised another level. Even against a peak Douluo who couldn't fly, he might not be without a chance of winning.
Dugu Bo flew to the same height as the Life Snowdrop. As his Soul Power circulated, his fourth Soul Ring lit up.
Green light spots appeared around him, and in the blink of an eye, they condensed into numerous illusory poison dragons, identical to his Martial Soul but much smaller.
Those poison dragons flashed and disappeared, collectively attacking the Life Snowdrop. They were like arrows, reaching the Life Snowdrop in the blink of an eye.
At that very moment, a faint white halo emerged from the Life Snowdrop, forming a white shield.
Life Shield was another Soul Skill of the Life Snowdrop besides its healing Soul Skills, and also its only means of survival. It likely survived until now relying on this Soul Skill.
"Rumble..."
The serpent shadows exploded the moment they touched the shield, turning into a sky full of poison mist that enveloped it. But after a gust of wind blew away the poison mist, the Life Snowdrop was completely unharmed.
But that was just the surface.
Li Qing could clearly sense that after the Life Snowdrop used the Life Shield, its vitality was significantly depleted, as if it was severely injured.
Despite this, it was still quite extraordinary.
Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo. With the enhancement of Soul Power intensity, even if he only used his fourth Soul Skill, it was something a low-level Soul Master's fourth Soul Skill couldn't compare to.
"Senior Dugu Bo, I'll do it."
The Life Snowdrop was well-camouflaged. Li Qing was afraid Dugu Bo wouldn't notice and would accidentally kill it. He knew that only the Soul Ring of a Martial Soul Beast he personally ended could be absorbed.
"Alright!"
Dugu Bo nodded. Anyway, the Life Snowdrop didn't have much attack power.
Li Qing possessed the Raven. Black wings grew from his back, and then he spread his wings and flew high to Dugu Bo's side, directly injecting Soul Power into his first Soul Ring.
"Whoosh..."
Black flames spewed from his mouth, steadily hitting the immobile Life Snowdrop.
The Underworld Fire instantly ignited the Life Snowdrop, but waves of white light surged from within the Life Snowdrop, not only extinguishing the Underworld Fire directly but also instantly restoring its state.
Even the vitality it had just lost was restored.
"What the hell?"
Shouldn't Life Healing be like adding fuel to the fire? Why did it extinguish it? Was it because of the power gap, or did all Life Healing type Soul Skills counter his first Soul Skill?
Li Qing was completely puzzled, but he would know the specifics by going back and experimenting with Ye Lingling.
