—------------------—

"Thank you for today, Prince Xue Xing."

Since Xue Xing threatened with the army of the Tiandou Empire, Yue Guan and Gui Mei had no way to continue and could only leave.

After regulating his breath for a long time, Dugu Bo finally managed to suppress the backlash of the poison.

"Senior Dugu, there is no need to do this." Xue Xing bowed.

"I just don't know why these two elders from the Spirit Hall would chase after you, Senior?"

"It's nothing more than he was angry and ashamed because he failed to recruit us." Dugu Bo said.

"I see..." Xue Xing nodded, not surprised.

He also knew Dugu Bo's character and would not rashly provoke the Spirit Hall.

In recent years, since the new Pope Bibi Dong came to power, the expansion of the Spirit Hall has never stopped. First, it launched a heavy blow to the Haotian Sect, and then the major spirit master sects were suppressed one after another. A lot of the territories of the two empires were also occupied by the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall would naturally not let go of an idle Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo.

After a few more casual greetings, Xue Xing invited Dugu Bo to the big tent to rest, and ordered the soldiers in the camp to be on high alert to prevent Yue Guan and the other man from returning.

"Do you know each other?" Xuan Ming asked.

"He knows my son." Dugu Bo said.

"I also occasionally go to Tiandou City and have some connections with him."

"Are you really a guest of the Tiandou royal family?" Xuan Ming asked.

Dugu Bo paused and said, "That's it from now on."

In the situation just now, if Xue Xing wanted to intervene in this matter, he naturally had to find a legitimate excuse.

Even if Xue Xing had other intentions, the fact is that he saved her life.

As a guest of the Tiandou royal family, the Spirit Hall will no longer take action against him in a high-profile manner.

What happened today, after all, cannot be made public.

"By the way, use your domain on me." Dugu Bo said.

"What to do?" Xuan Ming asked.

"Just use it if I tell you to. Why waste your time talking nonsense?" Dugu Bo said.

Turn your back on someone! Xuan Ming very reluctantly released his white light, including Dugu Bo.

"Sure enough..." Dugu Bo opened his eyes with extremely complicated feelings.

If he did not put up any resistance and allowed this white light field to suppress him, even the poison in his body would be suppressed!

This field is too domineering!

"What other abilities do you have in this field?" Dugu Bo asked.

"It's just a simple suppressive effect." Xuan Ming said.

"Are you sure?" Dugu Bo was a little skeptical.

His cultivation was too high, and the effect this kid's domain could produce on him was extremely limited. If he wanted to break free, this domain could only suppress him for a moment.

Moreover, the feeling as if his whole body was stuck in a quagmire, unable to move, and even his breathing was suppressed was too uncomfortable. It was impossible for him to really not resist at all.

"Can I still lie to you?" Xuan Ming was speechless.

His domain is indeed just a simple suppression effect, but this kind of suppression has no limit, and it is not a percentage suppression.

Those who are stronger than him can only achieve instant interference like tonight, and those who are weaker than him may be directly crushed to death.

Because they were enveloped by his white light, not only their soul power, but also their breathing and even the flow of blood would all slow down until they stopped completely!

Once breathing and blood circulation stop, the person will naturally die.

"Can this field of yours affect yourself?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Self?" Xuan Ming was stunned and suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

Looking down, he saw that the Nine-Section Jade had bitten two small red dots on his wrist.

"You!"

Xuan Ming subconsciously summoned the Blood Spear, ready to fight Dugu Bo to the death.

"Don't get excited. First try to use your domain to suppress the poison in your hand and see how far you can go." Dugu Bo released his soul power and locked Xuan Ming firmly in place.

"If you can't suppress it, I will detoxify you."

Xuan Ming took a deep breath, released his white light with all his strength, and shrunk the domain to include only his bitten right arm.

"…"

Time passed minute by minute, and Dugu Bo was always paying attention to Xuan Ming's condition.

Finally, just as he was about to take action to detoxify, Xuan Ming stopped.

"What?!" Dugu Bo's eyes were full of shock.

The two blood holes on Xuan Ming's wrists that were bitten by the Nine-Section Jade actually squeezed out two drops of dark green venom! How could the poison of the Nine-Section Jade be forced out? Xuan Ming lowered his head and gasped.

It's not that he hadn't thought about suppressing the poison through this special field, but he wasn't sure if this field would crush him to death! Toxins spread with the blood.

To suppress toxins, you must first stop the blood flow, and then slowly suppress and expel the toxins.

If he failed to stagnate the blood corroded by the poison before it spread, once the poison invaded the heart meridian, he would not be able to stop the blood flow in his heart.

Therefore, ever since he was entangled by the Nine-Section Emerald, he has been trying to shrink the domain within his body to prevent this old poisonous creature from suddenly turning against him!

He was even prepared to give up this hand!

But after going through so much tonight, they can be considered people who have experienced life and death together.

He never expected that this old poisoner would attack him at this time! The poison was almost flowing through his right hand.

"I have seen soul masters with domains in the past, but this is the first time I've seen someone like you who can use the domain on himself." Dugu Bo said.

Xuan Ming raised his head. "That is to say, you didn't think I could detoxify myself from the beginning?"

"Of course." Dugu Bo said.

The poison of the Nine-Section Emerald corrodes extremely quickly, and even a Soul Sage cannot force it out while suppressing it!

"Then what do you mean?" Xuan Ming asked.

"Kill me?"

"Of course not." Dugu Bo stood up.

"No matter what, you saved me tonight. I have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. Since you saved me, I will naturally not harm you."

"Oh? You poisoned me and then detoxified me, so you saved my life and we're even?" Xuan Ming said.

Dugu Bo was a little embarrassed, "That's not what I meant."

He was indeed somewhat curious about the extent of this kid's domain. Under the deadly poison, there was no way this kid could hide.

If this kid can't suppress the snake venom, he will definitely ask him to detoxify it. Then...

"Senior, you really have a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment." Xuan Ming said dimly.

"I admire you, young man."

"Okay, you don't have to mock me like this." Dugu Bo said.

"You saved me tonight. I will naturally repay this favor."

"How about this, I'll take you as my apprentice, and from now on..."

"Repay the favor, and then accept me as your disciple?" Xuan Ming couldn't help but look at him as a fool.

"I am not talented enough to be your apprentice."

"Hmph! Do you still think you've suffered a loss?" Dugu Bo was a little unhappy.

"I am a Titled Douluo, the Supreme of Poison!"

"Being my apprentice is something many people would never dream of."

"Why, are you still feeling aggrieved?"
