"I am Dugu Bo, and I would like to see the Soul Palace Master. Please pass on my message."
Dugu Bo is a rebellious person by nature, but he is very polite to Huo Yuan, a Soul Douluo.
"Are you Poison Douluo?" Huo Yuan was a little surprised.
She was not surprised that Poison Douluo would come to visit the Soul Palace, but that he showed up right after Xiao Mu told her to keep an eye on Dugu Bo.
"Yes, it's me."
Dugu Bo felt that Huo Yuan's attitude was much gentler than the one he showed towards the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family yesterday, and he suddenly understood.
It seems that the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family were just unlucky yesterday. They happened to arrive when the Lord of the Soul Palace was not seeing guests.
"Please follow me in."
Huo Yuan did not inform Xiao Mu, but directly led Dugu Bo into the Soul Palace.
As soon as he entered the reception room, Dugu Bo's heart skipped a beat.
In addition to Xiao Mu, Zhan Kaishan and Yang Ziqi were also here, and the two of them did not hide their aura as Super Douluo, making Dugu Bo feel the pressure coming towards him.
Oh no, could it be that I have become a lamb walking into the tiger's mouth?
"Palace Master Xiao, Dugu Bo greets you politely." Although worried, Dugu Bo still politely greeted Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu smiled and said, "No need to be polite, Poison Douluo. We are all family from now on."
"What?"
Xiao Mu's words caught Dugu Bo off guard.
"What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is, please invite Poison Douluo to join the Soul Palace."
Dugu Bo's expression turned grim. He had not expected the Soul Palace to be so overbearing. Even if the Spirit Palace had wanted him to join, they would at least have used courtesy before force. However, Xiao Mu's words were as if his joining the Soul Palace was a fact, which was completely beyond doubt.
"Oh, Palace Master Xiao, please forgive me for not understanding what you are saying. How come I don't know that I should join the Soul Palace?"
Dugu Bo has a character that would rather break than bend. He never bows his head even in front of the Spirit Hall. Even though there are two Super Douluos eyeing him covetously, he does not intend to surrender.
Xiao Mu didn't care about Dugu Bo's attitude.
"Please take a seat, Poison Douluo, why don't you listen to what I have to say before deciding whether or not to join the Soul Palace."
"Okay, go ahead and tell me what you can come up with."
Dugu Bo was straightforward and sat casually on the chair, looking like he didn't care what you said.
Xiao Mu said, "Let's first talk about the benefits of joining the Soul Palace."
"Let's not talk about the elixirs. I'm afraid you don't care much about that. I'll just say one thing: after you join the Soul Palace, I can help you solve the problem of the backlash from the Jade Scaled Snake King's poison."
"What?"
Dugu Bo originally thought that Xiao Mu would at most use a combination of soft and hard tactics.
But Dugu Bo was a man who would not be persuaded by anything, so he decided to ignore whatever Xiao Mu said.
But Xiao Mu's first words made him unable to sit still.
It was incredible that Xiao Mu could see that he was being poisoned, let alone solve the problem.
"Can you solve the problem of the backlash of the Bilin Snake King's poison?"
"Of course." Xiao Mu said.
"Do you have a pill that can cure the poison of the Green Scaled Snake King?" Dugu Bo asked.
"No, your poison comes from your martial spirit. Detoxification is only a temporary solution, not a cure."
"Then what else can you do?"
Dugu Bo could only think of Xiao Mu being able to refine an antidote pill. Apart from that, was there any other way to solve the backlash of the poison?
Xiao Mu waved his right hand, and the Void Devouring Flame quietly emerged, and six fire seeds circled around the Void Devouring Flame.
Dugu Bo noticed that when the black flame appeared, Huo Yuan swallowed unconsciously.
"Is this Palace Master Xiao's martial spirit? While it's quite bizarre, how can we resolve the backlash from the Jade Scaled Serpent King's poison?"
Xiao Mu picked out a spark of fire with his fingers.
"My martial spirit, the Void Devouring Flame, is somewhat special. This smaller flame is the sub-fire of the Void Devouring Flame. It can be refined by others and also possesses the ability to devour."
"As long as you refine this flame, not only will you not have to worry about the backlash of the poison, but you will also be able to greatly increase the offensive power of the Jade Scaled Snake Emperor's martial spirit, allowing you to increase the Jade Scaled Snake Emperor's poison without any scruples."
Dugu Bo's face was full of disbelief.
He had never heard of a martial soul being able to share a part with others for refining.
But he did not doubt the truth of what Xiao Mu said, because when the seed fire was picked out alone, he had a feeling that he could absorb it.
This feeling was similar to the one he had when he first encountered a spirit ring that could be absorbed.
"How about I help you get rid of some of the toxins first?"
Dugu Bo's throat moved.
He originally wanted to be a man of steel, but the temptation offered by Xiao Mu was too great.
"Okay, I'll see if your fire can deal with my Bilin snake venom." Dugu Bo said stubbornly.
Xiao Mu smiled and with a snap of his fingers, the fire seed floated to Dugu Bo's side.
"Don't resist."
After Xiao Mu finished speaking, the seed fire slowly began to spin, and threads of poison drifted out of Dugu Bo's body and were completely swallowed up by the Void Devouring Flame seed fire.
"Huh~"
Dugu Bo hasn't felt so relaxed for a long time since he was troubled by the backlash of the Blue Scaled Snake King's poison.
But just when he felt more and more relaxed and the poison that had penetrated deep into his bone marrow was about to be removed, the Void Swallowing Flame's swallowing of the poison suddenly stopped.
"How is it? Do you believe it now, Poison Douluo?"
Dugu Bo slowly stood up and looked directly into Xiao Mu's eyes.
"If I still refuse to join the Soul Palace, what will Palace Master Xiao do?"
Xiao Mu pointed at Zhan Kaishan and Yang Ziqi beside him.
"We have no plans to do anything to you. As long as you can survive them, you can leave if you want."
Dugu Bo frowned and sneered:
"What's the difference between you and the Spirit Hall by doing this?"
Dugu Bo was able to escape from the Spirit Hall in the past, but now he has no confidence in escaping from the Spirit Hall at all.
Zhan Kaishan and Yang Ziqi were watching closely, ready to fight if they had any disagreement.
Zhan Kaishan's nine soul rings have emerged. The hundred thousand year soul ring is bright red like blood and is particularly dazzling.
"No, no, no, our Soul Hall is different from the Spirit Hall." Xiao Mu shook his head.
"What's the difference? They both use force to suppress people."
Xiao Mu said with a gentle smile:
"The difference is that the Soul Palace isn't as useless as the Spirit Hall. They have so many Titled Douluo, yet they let you escape. I guarantee that if you refuse, you'll never be able to leave the Soul Palace."
As Xiao Mu finished speaking, the air became frozen.
Zhan Kaishan and Yang Ziqi both stared at Dugu Bo. As long as he made the slightest movement, he would definitely be hit by the most powerful blow.
The dead silence didn't last long.
Dugu Bo suddenly laughed, breaking the silence. He bowed to Xiao Mu and said:
"I am willing to join the Soul Palace. I greet the Palace Master."
In fact, he had already wavered after the Void Devouring Flame Fire devoured part of the Green Scaled Snake King's poison in his body.
Not only for himself, but also for his granddaughter Dugu Yan.
His subsequent questions were more to see what kind of person Xiao Mu was.
The result is obvious. Xiao Mu is not a pushover and will help him get rid of the toxins without asking for anything in return.
Xiao Mu's previous magnanimity was due to his confidence. Even if he helped Dugu Bo completely resolve the hidden danger, he would never be able to get out as long as Dugu Bo did not join the Soul Palace.
Dugu Bo was frightened by Xiao Mu's decisiveness and ruthlessness, especially when he said those domineering words with a smile, which made Dugu Bo's scalp tingle.
Dugu Bo did not dare to test it again and decisively chose to join the Soul Palace.
"Very good." Xiao Mu smiled and said, "You made the right decision."
