It was their combined aura of two Super Douluo that had sent chills through Yu Ritian, forcing the newly advanced Titled Douluo to abandon everything and flee without hesitation.
Not long after—She Long and Ci Xue joined Dugu Bo in intercepting Yu Yuanzhen.
However, Yu Yuanzhen was still Yu Yuanzhen. An old monster who had survived countless life-and-death battles.
With his cultivation advantage and the activation of ancestral soul bone abilities unique to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he forcibly broke away from the encirclement.
Lightning tore through the sky as he retreated calmly, leaving behind only scorched ground.
Soon after, two more figures arrived near the Ice Fire Yin Yang well.
Jiang Mo descended, his cudgel shrinking back to normal size as his expression darkened when he saw Jun Wuhen's injuries.
Tian Yue followed closely.
At that moment— Jun Wuhen's eyelids trembled.
With great effort, he forced his eyes open.
The first thing he saw was the anxious, grim expressions surrounding him.
His throat moved, dry and hoarse.
"Chu Yue…"
The name escaped his lips like a broken whisper.
As Jun Wuhen's gaze swept across the figures surrounding him, recognition slowly dawned.
For a brief moment, the unbearable pain in his body was drowned out by a surge of hope.
His breathing grew hurried as he struggled to prop himself up, ignoring the sharp pain tearing through his chest.
"Senior…" his voice trembled. "Did you… did you save Chu Yue?"
His eyes shone, clinging desperately to that single possibility.
"She was captured by them."
The moment those words fully registered—
Jiang Mo's expression turned icy.
"They captured her?" His voice dropped dangerously low. "This is rubbing Spirit Hall's face into the ground."
An act not just of provocation—But of open contempt.
Dugu Bo coughed lightly and spoke from the side, his tone carrying a trace of awkward restraint.
"I don't think they knew she belonged to Spirit Hall," he said slowly. "At most, they might suspect some connection to me. My identity as an elder of Spirit Hall… is not publicly known."
Jun Wuhen's fists clenched until blood seeped from his palms.
Jiang Mo cursed under his breath.
"Damn it."
Tian Yue stepped forward, her temper flaring.
"Then we attack them," she said coldly. "Right now. We storm the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and bring Chu Yue back."
The air grew heavy.
Then—She Long, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke.
"Not now."
His voice was calm, but carried unquestionable authority.
"If they realize Chu Yue is a Spirit Hall genius, they might silence her immediately. Going in without preparation would only push them into desperation."
This kind of thing was far too common in the Soul Master world. Silently eliminating a genius and disguising it as an accident.
Such methods were used not only by the Three Great Clans—even Spirit Hall itself had employed them when necessary.
He turned his gaze toward Jiang Mo.
"We must go with overwhelming force."
She Long continued, his tone measured and precise.
"I will report to the Young Master. We'll need reinforcements from Spirit City—and at least one Elder to take the stage personally. It will take atleast 6 days"
His eyes narrowed.
"Yu Yuanzhen alone is already troublesome. Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has an unknown newly advanced Titled Douluo, acting rashly would be suicidal. We don't know if they have more Titled Douluo hidden."
Those words were like a bucket of ice water.
Jun Wuhen's breathing grew uneven. His rationality was crumbling under guilt and fear.
"Six days…" he muttered.
Then his eyes snapped open.
"How can you wait six days?!" he roared hoarsely. "How could you not try to save her now?!"
Jiang Mo stepped forward urgently.
"If her identity is exposed right now, her life will be in immediate danger. Once the news reaches Spirit City, help will arrive in six days—no sooner."
Jun Wuhen shook his head violently.
"You don't understand!" his voice broke. "Something will happen to her… I know it!"
Before he could force himself upright—a hand appeared behind him.
Two fingers pressed precisely against Jun Wuhen's neck.
His eyes widened slightly—Then rolled back as his body went limp.
Ci Xue supported him effortlessly as he collapsed.
"He's not thinking clearly," Ci Xue said calmly. "He needs time to readjust."
Jiang Mo took a deep breath, forcibly steadying his emotions.
"Uncle Porcupinefish," he said gravely, "please contact Renxue first and request reinforcements."
Ci Xue nodded without hesitation. This was no longer a simple rescue. Dugu Bo added calmly from the side, his tone carrying a hint of dark amusement.
"We are not without leverage," he reminded them. "Don't forget the clan members I poisoned outside. They're still alive—but only barely."
They exchanged glances, and the outline of the plan silently fell into place.
She Long turned and departed immediately, heading toward Heaven Dou City to meet Eve, who is impersonating as Qian Renxue and report everything in detail.
Ci Xue did not linger either. With a flash of movement, he left for Spirit City, tasked with mobilizing higher-level reinforcements and ensuring that this incident would be treated with the seriousness it deserved.
The valley finally quieted. Jiang Mo's gaze fell upon Jun Wuhen's unconscious figure.
He crouched beside him and spoke softly, his voice low but resolute.
"Don't worry, Wuhen. I won't let any harm come to Chu Yue."
"She is my junior," he continued, eyes hardening. "And more than that—she is one of Spirit Hall's future pillars."
Straightening up, Jiang Mo's mind raced.
'I'll mobilize all Hermit Order agents infiltrated within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,' he thought. 'They'll keep watch .'
A faint, cold smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
