Chapter 122: The Killing Trap Emerges, a Conspiracy Against Chu Chen!
"What is it?"
Chu Chen's expression turned serious; anything that could make Dugu Bo look like this had to be extraordinary.
After calming his emotions, Dugu Bo finally said, "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was... wiped out last night."
"What..."
Both Chu Chen and Ye Lingling were struck with shock.
"How could the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan be... at a time like this? Could it be that Bibi Dong acted ahead of schedule and launched the Soul Hunting Operation..."
This news truly gave Chu Chen a massive shock.
With such an event occurring again at this time, the entire continent's landscape would likely undergo a sudden and drastic change. Especially coming so soon after the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it was likely that someone...
"With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect having just been destroyed, some rumors regarding you have already spread. Now... the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, also one of the Upper Three Sects, is gone as well."
"Chu Chen... I'm afraid someone is going to point the finger at you."
After explaining the severity of the situation, Dugu Bo looked at Chu Chen with a worried expression.
Ye Lingling felt the same...
If someone intended to frame Chu Chen, it would certainly bring him a fatal disaster. In that case, Chu Chen's situation would become extremely dangerous.
"Let's go. You and I need to pay a visit to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
After thinking it over, Chu Chen decided to take action.
He knew that this might be Bibi Dong launching the Soul Hunting Operation early, but it was directed at him... This was killing two birds with one stone. However, whose hatred was Bibi Dong trying to redirect toward him?
"Regardless, we'll know once we take a look."
Chu Chen made his decision.
"I'll accompany you," Ye Lingling said with a firm tone.
"Alright, let's go together."
Chu Chen nodded. He had declined Ye Lingling's company many times before, but this time, he did not refuse her.
Dugu Bo naturally had no objections.
After quickly leaving Heaven Dou City, the three of them rushed toward the location of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Not long after he left...
Xue Qinghe arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy but found no trace of Chu Chen.
His face was as dark as water.
His voice became incredibly cold as he questioned the Porcupinefish Douluo beside him, "Is this how you handle things? Is this the explanation you're giving me for Chen Xin's escape?!"
The Porcupinefish Douluo didn't dare to make a sound.
"Young Lord... an even more powerful existence must have rescued Chen Xin, and I suspect they were heading for Chu Chen..."
The Snake Lance Douluo felt fortunate.
Luckily, he wasn't the one responsible for guarding Chen Xin that night; otherwise, he would have been the one blamed.
"I don't need you to tell me that."
Xue Qinghe looked worried. Now that Chu Chen was not at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, even if he wanted to inform Chu Chen of this news, he couldn't.
...
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's location isn't far from the Star Dou Great Forest; you could even say they border each other. However, it won't take us long to get there from here."
Dugu Bo explained.
He looked at Chu Chen and pondered for a long time. "Chu Chen, who do you think did it?"
"Bibi Dong. Only Spirit Hall has this kind of power."
Chu Chen then shifted the topic.
"Of course, there's also you and me, who are currently at the center of the storm."
Dugu Bo gave a series of bitter smiles.
"To think that one day this old man's reputation would be so great that I'd become the culprit who wiped out two of the Upper Three Sects in a row. So, are you going to take me to deal with the Clear Sky Sect next?"
Hearing Dugu Bo's joking words, Chu Chen smiled. "It's not impossible!"
"Chu Chen, could this be a trap?" Ye Lingling asked with concern.
"I know it's a trap, but I must go."
Chu Chen said calmly, "Clearly, someone wants to kill with a borrowed knife, trying to shift someone's anger onto me... If I ignore it, someone might still make a move against me."
"He's right."
Dugu Bo nodded in agreement. "So I suspect the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might not have been completely wiped out. Whoever is left will surely direct their hatred toward Chu Chen."
Before long, Chu Chen and Dugu Bo arrived at the former site of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan...
The place had already been turned into ruins.
However, there wasn't a single corpse...
"This... this is poison!"
Dugu Bo's face changed drastically. He sensed a terrifying toxin lingering in the air. It was this deadly poison that had turned the deceased directly into pools of pus, leaving not even bones behind.
"Heh, poison, the destruction of an Upper Three Sect... It really was meant to frame the two of us."
Chu Chen's eyes suddenly flickered.
He noticed that on the ground here, Blue Silver Grass seemed to be growing exceptionally lush...
"It really is aimed at Chu Chen."
How could Ye Lingling not understand? Someone in the shadows had finally lost their patience and acted to thoroughly eliminate Chu Chen, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had become the blade for this murder.
"..."
Chu Chen suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
It was Yu Xiaogang!
Yu Xiaogang also saw Chu Chen.
His eyes were bloodshot as he roared in interrogation, "Chu Chen! How heartless can you be to commit such a slaughter!"
"I'll have your life in exchange!" Liu Erlong was furious, condensing her Soul Power.
Flender was also there, clearly having come with Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, but he hadn't expected to run into Chu Chen.
Chu Chen ignored the three of them.
He noticed a figure sitting silently on the ruins like a stone statue. Yu Xiaogang followed Chu Chen's gaze and finally discovered that figure. It was actually...
Yu Yuanzhen!
"Father, you... you're still alive..." Yu Xiaogang said with a trembling voice.
Yu Yuanzhen stood up, his cold killing intent transforming into blazing lightning that swept out, descending from the sky and rolling in like an endless storm!
"Chu Chen, Dugu Bo! My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has no grievances with you. Why did you attack us!"
Feeling Yu Yuanzhen's rage...
Dugu Bo questioned loudly, "Old Dragon, do you realize you're being used as a tool by someone else?"
"Don't give me that bullshit! Since you two dared to return, you shall die here today. The debt of destroying my sect will only be settled with death!"
"Roar—!"
Amidst a resonant dragon roar, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon immediately possessed him. Yu Yuanzhen's Soul Power at Rank 96 fully erupted. At the same level of strength, he was likely much stronger than Dugu Bo.
"Chu Chen, today you will surely die."
The three of them, including Yu Xiaogang, also summoned the Golden Sacred Dragon. Once their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was unleashed, the prestige of a Titled Douluo level burst forth.
Chu Chen's guess was correct.
This was a killing trap aimed specifically at him!!!
"I did not destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan," Chu Chen responded coldly.
But Yu Yuanzhen was already frantic; he ignored everything and attacked directly!!
